We all want to feel wanted. This is human nature to its core. It sucks in a lot of ways, because it keep us from just doing what is in our best interest. In adulthood, many of us have what we need at the bottom and middle of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs–food, shelter, water, friends, and the love of another. This should be enough. It should definitely be enough for Dwyane Wade: 3 time NBA champion, best friends with Lebron, a multimillionaire with a multimillion dollar home in a city that worships him, married to Gabrielle Union–the beautiful cheerleader from the black school in Bring It On, and has about two to three good years left in his basketball career.
Wade has the bottom needs of Maslow's hierarchy solidified, but like almost all human beings, he shoots for higher emotional quality like self-esteem–near the top of Maslow's hierarchy.
When the Miami Heat offered him a 2-year deal with a 50% pay cut to play for ten million a year instead of his usual ten million, it was his pride more than his pocketbook that got hurt.
As evolved primates with tribal roots, there is nothing worse than feeling like your tribe no longer values you. This is in our guts; evolution through Natural Selection has programmed us to lose self-esteem when rejected by the Tribe for being perceived with lower value.
This is why a multimillionaire with the perfect life is angry about getting paid 10 million dollars.
In sports, as in any form of entertainment, what you get paid is the sign of your value. There is a reason why agents are in every field of entertainment, that transaction of perceived value can get messy and tempestuous and teams, publishers, corporations, and studios can use emotional leverage to make entertainers act against their interest. An agent's job is to make sure the player gets compensated what they feel they are worth.
Is Dwyane Wade still worth the money he wants? He might not be, but a competitor on his level has to perceive himself to be one of the best and would be angered if his team, his tribe, no longer feels the same way about him.
The self-help axiom that you can't buy self-esteem is false in this case. A team offering him twenty million is telling him he is still a star and deserves to be paid by one. It might even be best short-term and long-term to take the pay cut, stay in his nine million dollar home in Miami, and solidify his Heat legacy that will lead to endorsement deals for the rest of his life, but that need to be valued and perceived as great could be worth more to him than any actual dollars or needs.

Jeremy Scott brings Barbie, the most iconic girl from California to a new Dream House: The House of Moschino.
Dreaming of Doll Clothes: Buttons are the size of saucers on a mesh trench coat. A belt mushrooms into a strapless top. Sequins and gold metal chains are blown up bigger and brighter than ever.

The Extravaganza: Barbie likes to bathe, go to the beach, walk her dog, work, but at the end of the day she just wants to party in something frilly. Whether it's silver pants and a bustier or a pink silk jacquard dress with giant mirror sequins, evening comes dripping in iridescent ruffles.
Barbie hates to wait, even for next season's clothes. That's why Jeremy Scott and Moschino have her covered with 19 pieces from this collection that are available to purchase now.

In the early hours of Saturday morning after drinking far too many Echter Nordhaeuser (rye vodka) I got an email from Jim S.
My eulogising of Mark Spitznagel's long and lonely road through barren spells with his long vol fund was all wrong.
In fact, his fund, Universa was making money throughout the one of the biggest bull markets ever.
The headline of the story from late last year is,
A Bearish Hedge Fund Bets Against the Bulls and Still Profits
and the elevator pitch,
Large pessimistic bets usually lose a lot of money when stocks are rising, as they have ever since 2009. But Universa is saying that its investment strategy has been able to produce consistent gains since then, including a 30 percent return last year, according to firm materials that were reviewed by The New York Times.
Nothing is impossible, but when you read something like this your spidey sense starts tingling.
Style creep, is one of the biggest issues when large institutions invest in hedge funds.
You want to get what you pay for, no point everybody jumping into the trade of the month when it reduces overall diversification.
So was Universa caving under bull market pressure and becoming a beta monkey?
The recent fund materials that contain the positive numbers may be marketing materials aimed at selling a type of financial catastrophe insurance to investors who are getting jittery about the stock markets' gravity-defying rise. The materials show how bearish bets could be paired with broad holdings of stocks — and still produce gains.
The emphasis is mine. Maybe marketing materials?
Most people are swimming in beta. Universa's customers have billions of dollars worth of it, they don't really need any more. No one complains about profits, but you can rest assured that if the fund started generating those kinds of profits questions would be asked.
Have no fear though,
Universa is not alone in saying that it can make money in good times and bad. Other firms also offer bearish bets that clients can use to hedge their stock portfolios. Such bets often cost so much that they have to be used sparingly.
Yet Universa seems to be saying that its catastrophe insurance is comparatively cheap.
Universa's discerning institutional investors can rest easily again.
The headline is completely misleading. I expect more from the NYT.
On the other hand I see this type of marketing story from Universa as a smart evolution in selling their funds, good for them.
Big thanks again to Jim S.!
Here's Mark doing his speel.

Critical thinking plays a large role in our everyday life, not just in the classroom. We use it to weigh our options for important decisions, such as purchasing a car or voting for President. Many times, we rely on our emotions to help us with our choices, when we should be using critical thinking. So how can you make sure you're subjecting important decisions to critical thinking? Samantha Agoos' TED-Ed lesson gives us a handful of simple tips to improve our critical thinking:
- Formulate your question
- Gather your information
- Apply the information
- Consider the implications
- Explore other view points
The next time you make a decision, no matter how big or how small, test out these tips. Ask yourself "did I weigh all the factors?" and "could I have used more emotion?" The more you ask yourself these questions, the easier it will become to build a habit and recognize when to use your critical thinking.

Update: This business has ceased its operations.
Elit Avenue has been increasingly recognized as Bayan Baru's foremost food haven outside Queensbay Mall. Tonight's dinner brings me to Muse Dining Bar By R. Emuang, a Western style casual dining restaurant operated by Chef Richard Emuang.
portobello mushroom, whose gills have been stuffed and baked with parmesan cheese. Boasting juicy goodness which allows portobello mushrooms to really shine, "very delicious" would be an understatement to describe this intriguing salad dish.
truffle fries on the side. Cooking with truffle oil allows potato to attain unique fungal aroma that regular cooking oil cannot provide.
Mashed potato and vegetable salad are included in this meat-centric dish.
Duck meat is coated with sweet sauce, then barbecued thoroughly such that the surface gains an attractive layer of glaze. Two types of sauces are used: barbecue sauce and mustard sauce. This dish is accompanied by mashed potato and garden salad.
juicy yet not oily, making it heavenly to my palate. Other items in the burger are bacon, caramelized onion, cheese slice, egg, iceberg lettuce and two halves of a sesame bun. There are also truffle fries on the side.
roasted pork belly has a succulent sense of crispiness especially while it is still warm. Meanwhile, chorizo is a type of pork sausage which is salty on its own but plays a vital role in the overall appraisal.
supersized chicken sausage. The sausage is served over mashed potato and with salad in the side. I am surprised that junior managed to finish nearly the whole plate on his own!
pancake include blueberries, strawberries and several types of edible flowers.

A new trail network for Boulevard Woods has been approved by Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department. The trail was plotted and designed by Walt Cook, the indefatigable trailblazer who created Cook's Trail along Sandy Creek among many other trails in Athens.
The first step in making this new trail is to clear the thick growth of plants along the trail corridor, and the trail corridor clearing project is now underway.
Gary Crider, a longtime Weed Warrior at Memorial Park, an early volunteer for Boulevard Woods, and an expert at invasive plant removal is overseeing the Trail Corridor Clearing Project. He has trained nine people so far to serve as crew leaders for the trail corridor clearing project. These crew leaders will guide small platoons of two-to-three other volunteers to undertake corridor clearing work over the course of this summer.

It all started because James Irvine wanted to save the trees.
James Harvey Irvine, also known as "J.I.", was an avid outdoorsman who loved the wide open spaces of his ranch. One of his favorite spots was in the northern portion of the property; a grove of old live oak trees at the mouth of Santiago Canyon.
When J.I.'s father bought the land in 1864, the grove was already a popular recreational destination with members of the Anaheim Colony who called the shady retreat The Picnic Grounds.
The 1872 Fourth of July Celebration was attended by over 500 citizens who gathered for a reading of the Declaration of Independence and a luncheon under the trees
The popularity of The Picnic Grounds brought challenges for the old oak grove. Unregulated traffic and camping in the area was beginning to endanger the trees. James Irvine worried that the historic oaks and sycamores would become fuel for a campfire and decided to take action.
In 1897, Irvine gave what was described as a "Gift Munificent," setting aside 160 acres of oak grove to the County of Orange. On October 5th, the County treasury paid $1 to J.I. and the Orange County Park was born.
Irvine had a few requirements for the new park. He insisted that a full-time caretaker be hired to monitor activities in the park. He also made sure that a fence be built around the perimeter to keep out sheepherders and woodcutters. There would be absolutely no harvesting of the trees and the park was to be kept in as natural state as possible. He also requested that the park remain open to the public free of charge.
A devout teetotaler, Irvine also insisted that there would be absolutely no liquor sales within the park. The first summer after the park opened, the German colonists of Anaheim showed up for their annual picnic with a wagonload of beer. The party was almost cancelled until the bartenders figured out a way around the rule and began giving away the beer for free.
On June, 1 1926, Orange County supervisors passed a resolution changing the name to
Irvine Regional Park. It was the first regional park in the State of California.
Today, visitors to Irvine Regional Park can still enjoy the natural setting that James Irvine loved. An 8 foot, bronze statue of Irvine stands guard near the ancient oak trees that he sought to protect over 100 years ago.

Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places to visit. It's only about three hours from San Francisco which makes it the perfect weekend escape. The lush forests, majestic mountain peaks, and crystal clear blue lake just have this magical quality about them. For me, there's nothing like a little time in nature to clear your head.
One of my favorite hikes is Eagle Rock on the west side. It's a super short and relatively easy hike, but it leads you to some incredible views of the lake. The Eagle Rock volcanic outcrop rises about 6,300 feet above sea level and it's less than half a mile from the road to the top!
The view from the top … vertigo kicks in when I look straight down!! :-/
Another favorite spot of mine is Lone Eagle Grille in Incline Village, Nevada. Make a reservation at the restaurant for dinner, or walk out on the dock, order a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the lake.
It's fun to see everyone enjoying themselves on the water… boating and jet skis galore! I only dipped my feet in the water this time but I'm determined to get out on the water next time around! Until next time…

A brand new logo for Cranbrook's brand new town council
Councillors proudly reveal Cranbrook Town Council's vibrant new corporate identity?
Cranbrook town councillors are delighted with the new visual identity created for them by East Devon District Council's design team, which was unveiled at an informal town council meeting last night (20 July) at the Younghayes Centre in Cranbrook.?
The brand new logo is synonymous with Cranbrook Town Council's (TC) identity as a public serving body and is designed to reflect the fresh and modern approach that the TC is taking in helping Cranbrook's growing community.
Cranbrook residents can expect to see the new branding used on the town council's website, letterheads, signage and any official documents.?
Unlike the majority of town council logos, which are heraldic in design to reflect their historic origins and traditional culture, the concept for Cranbrook's contemporary logo is based on the TC's commitment to be a forward thinking, accessible, cost-effective and sustainable organisation.?
Kevin Blakey, Chairman of the Cranbrook Town Council said: "Our new identity is designed to help put Cranbrook's new town council firmly on the map and will mark us out. It is a logo that we can feel proud of as a town, not just for today but for the future as well. ?
"On behalf of all the town councillors, I would like to thank East Devon District Council for helping us to create this superb logo and branding for us. It is synonymous with everything that we are hoping to achieve as the bridge for the community's voice."? ?
Mark Williams, Chief Executive of East Devon District Council said: "The sunburst design of the new town council logo captures the growth and energy of Cranbrook perfectly.
"The town council has a critical role to play in the town's future, ensuring that its sustainable vision is maintained and acting as an anchor link between the community, the developers and local authorities. So it was important that the new town council had its identity formally established at an early stage."???

Elephant rescued her baby from the well
It happened in India. Stupid kid fell into the well. Mother hurried to help, began to drag him proboscis, then the legs. But, unfortunately, only made it worse. The well began to crumble the soil — soil is mixed with water and turns to mud. But the elephant continued its hard work.
After a time came to the aid of peasants from the surrounding villages. They eventually helped to drag the kid. Clearing the soil near the top of the well, they reduced the level of the soil, the elephant managed to raise to the surface.
Her persistence was rewarded. Tired but happy, she rescued her child from the trap.

Bay 117b - Joshua part 1
(All images © Dr Stuart Whatling)
The conquest of Jericho:22-24 - Rahab the harlot sheltering Joshua's spies (Jos 2)
19 - The King of Jericho sends men to seek the Israelite spies (Jos 2:3)
21 - The spies escape from Jericho through Rahab's window (Jos 2:14)
13 - Joshua kneels before the 'Captain of the Host of the Lord' (Jos 5:14)
10 - The storming of Jericho (Jos 6:21)
08 - Joshua's men spare Rahab and her family from the destruction (Jos 6:23)
The conquest of Ai:18 - The stoning of Achan (Jos 7)
09 - The Lord instructing Joshua before the taking of Ai (Jos 8:1-2)
05 - The defenders of Ai sallying out to chase the Israelites (Jos 8:16)?
The Gibeonites trick Joshua into making peace:11 - The Gibeonites setting out to deceive the Israelites (Jos 9:4-5)
12 - Joshua making peace with the deceitful Gibeonites (Jos 9:15)
Unidentified or ambiguous scenes:04 - Unidentified fragmentary scene
20 - Unidentified scene (Joshua conversing with an angel)
15 - Unidentified fragmentary scene
07 - Joshua instructing his commanders ?
As with the other surviving paired lancets, the two Joseph windows in bay 111, the story of Joshua starts here in the right hand lancet and then continues to the left. Although this right-to-left reading order may be counter-intuitive, it ensures that the stories radiate out from the liturgically most important east end. Within each lancet, reading order would originally have followed the same general pattern as the other bays at Poitiers (left to right, top to bottom) though this has been severly disrupted by the loss of seven panels and the probable repositioning of others in the wrong place by restorers. The first half of the Joshua story begins with the arrival of the Israelite spies in Jericho and their receiving aid from Rahab the harlot (Jos 2). It concludes with the Gibeonites tricking the Israelites into making a peace treaty (Jos 9). The second lancet (117a) then continues where this one leaves off with King Adonizedek forming an alliance to fight against the invading Israelites (Jos 10)

The UK is the only EU nation not to impose a time limit on immigration detention
Ex-detainees led hundreds of protesters to the fences of Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre on Saturday, in the largest action of its kind to date. An estimated 800 people assembled to campaign for the closure of the centre.
Coaches from Birmingham, Oxford, Glasgow, Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds and London ferried activists from across the country to the demonstration.
Yarl's Wood, a privately-run detention centre on the outskirts of Bedford, holds around 400 women and families awaiting asylum decisions. The centre is administered by Serco, a private security and services firm, who won the £70 million contract in 2007.
Since its establishment in 2001, the centre has rarely been free from criticism.
It has come under fire from women's groups, human rights organisations and the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the use of immigration detention, which deemed the centre 'expensive, ineffective and unjust'.
From the entrance of Twinwoods Business Park where Yarl's Wood is located, protesters marched through sodden fields to the detention facility. Lesbians and Gays Support Migrants, Sisters Uncut, Women for Refugee Women and Black Dissidents marched alongside Movement for Justice, the protest organisers.
The non-violent demonstration saw chants and speeches by ex-detainees, mounting placards of support on the border fence and loudspeaker conversations with current detainees.
Women could be seen waving from their rooms, while others hung t-shirts reading 'freedom' from behind mirrored windows. Ex-detainees wore t-shirts and hats printed with 'freedom' in solidarity with those inside.
At various points, protesters lined the perimeter of the centre, kicking the iron barriers to chants of "No human is illegal". Police watched on as activists scaled fences to attach balloons and banners to the walls of the complex.
Throughout the day, ex-detainees told stories of their experience in Yarl's Wood. One woman spoke of the Home Office's attempts to return her to Nigeria, despite her brother's death at the hands of Boko Haram and the obvious threat to her family's safety.
Another spoke of living conditions in the facility, and asked:
"We are not animals, so why are we kept in a cage?"
Recent reports from inside the centre attest to the on-going detention of pregnant women, despite the government's policy that pregnant women should no longer be held in removal centres.
The government last week refused to publish figures regarding the detention of pregnant women, despite specific parliamentary questions addressing the issue.
Reports of self-harm, forceful restraint and racist taunts by guards have repeatedly surfaced. Rape survivors have further complained of improper sexual conduct.
Mental health provision within the centre has been a particular cause for concern. The APPG report found that detention significantly increased pre-detention levels of trauma, and noted mentally ill patients who were denied access to medication leading to full psychological breakdown.
A Channel 4 documentary shot inside Yarl's Wood this year showed guards referring to inmates as 'beasties' and 'animals', and recommending 'beating' detainees 'with sticks'. One guard said, 'I'd headbutt the bitch' in reference to one woman detainee.
"Let them slash their wrists," said another.
The decision process regarding internment at Yarl's Wood has also been attacked. Jerome Phelps of Detention Action has criticised the process by which a 'low-level civil servant' decides on the fate of asylum applications with 'no automatic judicial scrutiny at all'.
While in France all detainees have the right to be seen before a judge within 48 hours, 'no such safeguard exists in the UK', says Phelps. The majority of detainees have committed no criminal offence.
The UK is the only EU nation not to impose a time limit on detention. France operates within a 45-day detention limit, a comparable limit to the rest of western Europe.
The UK and Ireland were the only member states to opt out of the EU Returns Directive which sets a limit of 18-months.
As for the detainees themselves, their access to the outside world is strictly limited. Special locks prevent their windows from opening more than an inch or two, but a banner poking out summed up their position:
"We came here for refuge, why are we locked up?"

If they don't like it, they are free to leave the UK at any time. Any takers? No? Thought not. So stop moaning.
Dave Stewart
except they're not free are they, they're in a detention centre. I thought that was obvious.
They are free to leave the detention center at any time to go back to their home country. So it's a choice to stay there.

Rush hour commute.
Mr. Groundhog pops up to say hello.
Unclogging the drainage pipe in one of the ponds (no thanks to Mr. Beaver) created this whirlpool about the size of a dinner plate.
The garden is coming along and so far all the required crop families have their representative members: zucchini (Summer Squash) for Curcurbitaceae, tomatoes for Solanaceae, lettuce for leaf crop, onion for a root crop, snow pea for Legumes, corn for uh, corn and cabbage for a Cole crop. I just need a Tuber. There are so many options for the tuber crop that I was having a hard time choosing when a small voice at the back of my head decided me:
To those of you thanking me because now you'll have that song in your head ALL DAY LONG, you're welcome!
This is the sound that wakes me up in the morning. I could say something pithy about the lack of picture like, "the performers shun the spotlight" but the real reason it's black is because, well, it's that dark at 4:30am. How much more dark could it get, you ask? None, none more dark.
Oh, by the way, this alarm clock doesn't have a snooze button but it definitely goes to 11.
Three guesses what they are!? And wouldn't you know, both of them were EVERYWHERE!! Now, I've never had the opportunity to enjoy the afterglow of an encounter with Toxicodendron radicans, mostly because there isn't any poison ivy in the concrete jungle of LA (though there is poison oak, which I apparently never came in contact with either) and I really wasn't all that eager to make it an intimate acquaintance, if you get my drift. But part of being an Intrepid Plant Hunter is that you must actually advance through the forest in search of that which you seek. That means your boots and the hems of your jeans will trod on and brush against these two plants, one of which could really make life miserable!
And you think being marooned on a boat in your pajamas is bad.
I decided to cowboy-up (thank goodness for Tecnu) and in the end I did find a few Trilliums, dug them carefully and put them in my bucket then looked around to admire the majestic scenery and realized with a growing sense of excitement that I really had no idea where in the bloody forest I was. Panic did not ensue because my supervisor was coming back to get me, but can you imagine trekking through new and uncharted territory with potentially hostile natives as your guide? Far enough away from signs of civilization and the state highway, hearing nothing but the mysterious forest sounds around me, I sure could. There is a theory that poor David Douglas was pushed into that pit, you know, so I admit to a sigh of relief when I heard the rumble of the Kubota's engine on the path signaling lunchtime.
I still wonder if this venturesome spirit is handed down through the gene pool because obviously not everyone would relish a day stranded in the woods. It must, I think, because another dear friend and fellow horticulturist sent me another book, the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Philadelphia, which means more adventures!
On that trip, at least, I'll remember to take my towel*.
*For an explanation, please refer to the thrilling Sci-Fi best seller The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Seeds are sown in trays and labeled with the plant name, sow date, location in the garden where the plants will be used, and the number of transplants needed. When the seedlings are transplanted into cell packs, the label is copied and a new label placed in each transplanted flat.
The next step is to turn out the seedlings and gently tease them apart. The cell packs are filled with moist planting mix and lightly pressed - careful not to compact too much, but not left too fluffy or the soil will wash out when the plants are watered in. You also want good root-soil contact so the new roots will take in much needed water and nutrients without crushing them.

I have charges from this number on my account which I have not purchased
Amazon digital services svcs 888 802 3
what is this charge of £3.99 for and how do I stop this as I don't seem to get anything for it.(Amazon Digital Svcs )
Few months ago I bought Amazon fire tablet,it had a 30 days free download offer for music which I sign for.but after that month I have not downloaded any thing.but Amazon is taking money from my account every month.how can I stop this happening.
I have charges from this number on my account which I have not purchased
Amazon digital services svcs 88 888 802 3080
Does anyone know what charge [amazon digital s 5818 WA amzn.com/bill Amazon digital SvcsUS] is for? The total is $16.19 and seems to occur every month or 2.
I am continually being charged for $21.49 and $5.38 on my account monthly.
I can't figure out why I am being charged but I'm thinking about cancelling my membership.
I'm not sure where this charge came from. Does anyone know?
You forgot to cancel your 30-day trial for Amazon Music Unlimited for Echo. If you don't want the service, cancel it. If you still want it, do nothing. But it's a legitimate charge, just cryptic. Pay for what you use; don't whine about it. And don't pretend just because you or your spouse or children ordered it that you've been hacked. Want your money back: Skip ONE Starbucks and then go back to drinking that liquid heart attack several times a day the next day. But stop whining!
Does anyone no what this charge is for amazon digitalsvcsamzn.com/bill was
Amazon called me back today and they told me that they found a 3rd party person registered another Amazon account with my Amazon visa and made some purchases but only one order went through and rest are cancelled, they have suspended the account and all the open orders, and I called the credit card company and have them replace my current card with new numbers.
I noticed I got charged $5USD from "Amazon digital svcs" just 2 days ago on my Canadian Amazon Visa, and I didn't order anything on Amazon.com or .ca and my account shows no orders on both .com and .ca as well no emails about order anything, contacted both Amazon.com and .ca but need to wait one day for their email after they investigate my account.
iam haveing 3.99 cent takeing from my account what is this for thank you let me know
Hi, I just got charged with the same thing and I haven't purchase anything. I can't find anywhere what the charge is .
This is a recurring charge on my credit card. If it is Amazon Musiic that I agreed to try for 30 days, I want it discontinued.
I got a $2.99 charge today. It said Amazon DigitalSvcs. I don't know how I got charged for this since I have never buy or order anything. Nothing on order list, nothing on subscription. This is weird.
I believe this is a charge for music unlimited. I started a 30 day free trial a month ago after I had been charged my monthly fee for Amazon prime. I figured it would just latch on to my monthly Amazon prime payment, but how could I get my free trial for 30 days if they charged me for the services before the 30 days were up. I am assuming that is what this charge is for on my account. Will update if anything else occurs.
what is the service we are being charged for?
have had several charges from them and do not think it should have occurred
I keep getting a $1.99 charge, I'm just wondering what that is for.
I received a $4.28 AMAZON DIGITAL CHARGE on my bank account. This is not legitimate. How do I get this removed?? It says only AMAZON DIGITAL SERVICE - on April 9.
Yes, and it keeps reoccurring on my bank statement, causing my account to go in the arrears, what is going on, please help

Sheffield Wednesday have been installed by most bookmakers as second favourites for promotion from League One in the forthcoming season, and given the acquisitions that manager Alan Irvine has made over the course of the summer the expectations of the Owls supporters are likely to reflect this billing.
The excellent additions that have been made to the Wednesday squad in recent weeks, particularly in the attacking third, have been well documented, but the retention of some key players could be just as important, not least the goalkeeper.
Lee Grant has established himself as the Owls number one ever since joining the club having left Derby County back in the summer of 2007.
Wednesday also signed young Spurs goalkeeper Rob Burch that summer, and although both were vying for the first team spot at that time Grant wasted no time in making the position his own and has not looked back since.
Since moving to Hillsborough, Grant has improved year on year, gaining praise from team mates, fans and journalists alike. His value to the team should not be underestimated and is highlighted by the fact that his fellow Wednesday players have voted him as the player's player of the year for the past three seasons.
The 27-year-old's consistent fine form has attracted a number of suitors recently, with speculation linking him with a move to Burnley last season when ex-Owls manager Brian Laws took the reigns at Turf Moor.
More recently, Scottish giants Celtic have been linked with the keeper.
While Grant almost certainly has the ability to play at a higher level, most Wednesday fans will hope that any such speculation doesn't come to fruition and the club can fend off any future interest in the player.
The keeper expressed his commitment to the cause at the end of last season, stating that it is up to the players to put the disappointment of relegation behind them by helping the club to promotion in 2010/11.
It is important for the back four to have a familiar, experienced goalkeeper behind them and this was highlighted when the Owls were promoted from this level back in 2004/05.
David Lucas played a key role in the Owls success that season with solid, consistent displays and the team struggled somewhat in the few games that he missed through injury.
Grant is currently sidelined as he recuperates following a shoulder injury, but it is hoped that he will be fit for the start of the new season. In his absence, young academy products Richard O'Donnell and Arron Jameson have been getting the chance to show their worth in the pre-season warm-up matches.
The club have high hopes for both youngsters, but it would be a big ask for either of them to step straight into the number one role should Grant move on during the remainder of the transfer window given the pressure of expectation at the club during the forthcoming campaign.
Neither have played a competitive first team match for the club, and both would surely benefit from learning their trade alongside Grant while possibly picking up experience in the Football League Trophy competition.

Serbia's Secret War: Propaganda and the Deceit of History
Texas A&M University Press, 1996 - History - 235 pages
An entire piece of Serbian history is missing. And in the middle of the latest Yugoslav war—Europe's worst blood bath since World War II—Serbian politicians, propagandists, and revisionist historians have made a cynical attempt at replacing the missing piece by rewriting the Holocaust record: Serbs were not Nazi collaborators in genocide, but purely victims of the same atrocities that befell the Jews; and Serbian aspirations for a Greater Serbia are not driven by a murderous, nationalistic hatred, but rather are propelled by a victim's desire to lay claim to a safe homeland, a Serbian Promised Land. Thus has the current spilling of blood been justified.
Philip J. Cohen argues that the existence of such a propaganda campaign, emanating from Belgrade, began in the earliest days of the post-World War II era and, since then, has been reflected in the world media, as well as in popular commentary and scholarly analysis. More astonishing is that this campaign has been widely successful, particularly in Israel.
In attempting to not only establish but also explain the Serbian record during the Nazi occupation, Cohen takes his reader back into nineteenth-century Serbia to uncover the foundation of a political and social system that was partly built on ethnic prejudices and the glorification of violence. The rise of Serbian fascism in the 1930s was therefore inevitable—predetermined by the politics of power- and land-grabbing.
Remarkable for its broad portrayal and penetrating examination of the Yugoslav social and political experience, Serbia at War with History draws heavily on documents that have been previously unavailable to the West. Some of the written record has been translated and is published here, in full, for the first time. Destined to be regarded as an important contribution to the field, Cohen's careful study of the Serbian role in the Second World War will dramatically alter how scholars, policy makers, and the general public view the bloodshed in the former Yugoslavia—and how they will come to understand the reasons behind it.

Glympse is brilliant for sharing your location with friends, making it easy to let them know where you're going, how long you'll be there for and even letting them track you en route. And you can now use Glympse with HERE for Android – read on to find out all you need to know.
We've already shown you how to get started with HERE for Android, how to use it for car navigation or how to get transit directions, but there are loads of other cool things you can do with the app. Glympse is a great example, and it's perfectly integrated into the app so you can let people know exactly where you're at and when you'll arrive to your destination.
To get started, either type a location into the search bar at the top of the app, or tap and hold somewhere on the map. Instead of clicking the directions button – as you would for turn-by-turn navigation, instead pick the place you want from the list at the bottom, and then tap the 'Share' button.
From here you can either share using the majority of social networks, messages or emails, or tap the 'Share using Glympse' option.
You'll then be able to enter different information, including the duration you're staying somewhere for and a personal message. You can also add individual recipients for your Glympse update: just click on the 'With' box and then pick the person you want to share details with, or tap a social network you want to share on.
Once you've done that, click 'Send' to update your Glympse status. The update will then appear on where you've shared it, so friends and family will be able to click the link to see exactly where you're going, any of the other details you added, and the progress you're making along the way.
And once the time you've entered has counted down to zero, the link will expire, so people will no longer be able to see where you are or what you're up to.
Interested in downloading the HERE for Android and trying out Glympse for yourself? It's available from the Samsung Galaxy Apps Store and on www.here.com/beta/android/ for compatible handsets.

Common Drugs For OCD
Many doctors will prescribe medications "off-label" for OCD. This simply means that the medication is typically used for a disorder other than OCD, but is deemed beneficial in treating OCD symptoms. While this type of prescribing is common, there are medications that are targeted at OCD such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants. The following is a list of the most commonly used drugs for OCD and is provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (2009-2010).
- Clomipramine (Anafranil): a member of the tricyclic antidepressant family. It is used to treat OCD by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain. Common side effects are drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, nervousness, decreased sexual ability, decreased memory or concentration, headaches, stuffy nose, and change in appetite or weight.
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox): a member of the SSRIs family. It is used to treat OCD and social anxiety disorder. Like tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs bring balance to the serotonin levels in the brain. Common side effects are drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, or confusion, dry mouth, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, constipation, indigestion, gas, change in taste, decreased appetite, weight loss, nervousness, weakness, unsteadiness, and changes in sex drive or ability.
- Fluoxetine (Prozac): a member of the SSRIs family. It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and panic attacks. Common side effects are nervousness, nausea, dry mouth, sore throat, drowsiness, weakness, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, loss of appetite, weight loss, changes in sex drive or ability, and excessive sweating.
- Paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva): a member of the SSRIs family. It used to treat depression, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and OCD. Common side effects are headaches, dizziness, weakness, difficulty concentrating, nervousness, forgetfulness, confusion, sleepiness or feeling ''drugged,'' nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, gas, stomach pain, heartburn, changes in ability to taste food, decreased appetite, weight loss or gain, changes in sex drive or ability, dry mouth, sweating, yawning, sensitivity to light, runny nose, cough, lump or tightness in throat, pain in the back, muscles, joints, or anywhere in the body, muscle weakness or tightness, flushing, problems with teeth, unusual dreams, and painful or irregular menstruation.
- Sertraline (Zoloft): a member of the SSRIs family. It used to treat depression, OCD, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, dry mouth, gas or bloating, loss of appetite, weight, excessive tiredness, headaches, pain, burning, or tingling in the hands or feet, nervousness, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, sore throat, changes in sex drive or ability, and excessive sweating.
Benefits of Drugs for OCD
As stated above, these medications work by bringing balance to the serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical that is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses. When serotonin levels are out of balance, there is believed to be a direct impact on a person's mood. With the help of medications that target serotonin, balance can be achieved and a person's mood improved. Typically when taking drugs for OCD, a person will have to wait for about 5-10 weeks before the medication has an effect. Obsessive thoughts will not completely stop, but the intensity of obsessive thoughts will be lessened (Wilson, 2010).
Since every person is unique in how they respond to certain medications, it may sometimes be necessary for an OCD sufferer to try several different drugs before finding the one that works best for them. To date, the FDA has approved clomipramine, fluvoxamine, and sertraline for children and adolescents with OCD, while fluoxetine and paroxetine are only approved for adults. Research is constantly providing us with further insights into the drugs used to treat OCD and how they can be improved.
As always, medical attention should be sought if any of the listed side effects are severe or are persistent. It is normal to experience some mild side effects while the body becomes accustomed to the medication, but it should not be to the point where it is bothersome and constant. It is also important that a person's doctor is fully aware of any other medications that are taken, as there can be complications in mixing certain drugs.

Are Punitive Damages Excludable From Income?
You've got to hand it to the Greenbergs. It was a nice try, attempting to read between the lines of the Internal Revenue Code in an effort to justify excluding a punitive damages award from their income tax return.
Unfortunately, they couldn't convince the Tax Court. In a recent decision, the Court not only slapped the Greenbergs down in affirming a tax deficiency of over $1 million, but further hammered the folks in sanctioning the IRS imposed accuracy-related penalty, because the taxpayers had neither substantial authority, nor reasonable cause underlying their posture on the damage award. (The decision is Gary L. Greenberg, et ux. v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2011-18.)
Seems Mr. Greenberg, owner of a disability income policy, became disabled, thus precipitating a claim. The insurer paid some benefits, but not as much as Greenberg thought was proper, so he sued, alleging breach of contract and insurance bad faith. And, by golly, he won a damage award which included $2.4 million of punitive damages, which the taxpayers excluded from their return, justifying the exclusion on the basis of Internal Revenue Code Section 104(a)(3). (Learn more from Nolo: I won a lawsuit; do I have to pay tax on my damage award?)
Unfortunately that section only permits exclusion of "amounts received through accident or health insurance.....for personal injuries or sickness...." which "amounts" Mr. Greenberg liberally interpreted to include the punitive damages.
But the Court wasn't buying it, noting that, "In general, exclusions from income are narrowly construed," and with specific reference to IRC Section 104, that the Supreme Court had clearly spoken in the O'Gilvie case, to the effect that punitive damages received in a suit for personal injuries are not received "on account of" the personal injuries, themselves, but rather in connection with assessing a form of punishment on the offending party. Bottom line: punitive damages are taxable.
Attempting a novel twist on words, the Greenbergs also claimed that the punitive damages they received were not punitive, but "bad faith damages" (whatever that means), and that "damage awards that serve both to compensate and punish are excludable."
Perhaps the Greenbergs would have gotten farther had they found some citation in the published authority for this position, which they apparently did not.
One last point, of course, should be notation of the fact that the current application of IRC 104 only pertains to exclusion of compensatory damages "on account of personal physical injuries or physical sickness."
Pain and suffering just won't cut it.

New York Federal Drug Trafficking Attorney
Charged With a Federal Drug Trafficking Crime in New York? Contact an Albany Drug Crimes Lawyer
Drug trafficking charges are a spin-off of the "war on drugs" that federal law enforcement agencies have been fighting for several decades now. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) prosecutes federal cases involving trafficking or possession of large amounts of controlled substances, including the following:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Crack cocaine
- Heroin
- Pharmaceutical narcotics obtained or distributed other than through a prescription and a licensed pharmacy
- Ecstasy
The severity of the drug crime charges that you face may depend on the type of drug and/or the amount of that drug under consideration. Evidence pointing to conspiracy or RICO (racketeering) charges may worsen your charges and penalties if you are convicted on federal drug charges.
It is important to consult an experienced, dedicated criminal defense lawyer with a track record of success in federal court cases. The Law Office of Mark Sacco, PLLC, is available to evaluate your federal drug trafficking case and make recommendations. Initial consultations are free.
Attorney Mark Sacco is admitted to all courts in New York and handles cases throughout the state, including in the Northern District of New York, the Western District of New York and the Southern District of New York, in all phases, including the following:
- Arraignment
- Bail application
- Hearings
- Trial or plea
Federal drug distribution charges are a threat to your future and your freedom. Federal prison is a bleak fate for anyone to endure. Don't take chances by waiting until it's too late. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your federal drug trafficking charges, call our law office in Albany, New York, or Schenectady, New York, at 518-631-4046, or contact us online.

I am up today on the Lindy's Stamp Gang Blog today. I am joining the Pocket Letter Craze and thought it was a perfect time to showcase the Lindys Embossing powers. Og course I used the sprays for my leaves and to touch up color on my flowers, I even sprayed the butterfly!!. It's not new, but pocket letters are sure making their way around scrappers' desks lately.They make for great swaps, and even "happy mail"! Who wouldn't want one of these as a RAK? I know I would! This one will go to special friend...In the hopes to give her wonderful Prima juju....lol
The papers I used for this Pocket Letter are from Prima. I used the 6x6 paper pad Romance Novel Collection.
On the front of my pocket letter I used some of my favorite Lindys spray colors. The leaves were die cut and sprayed with Lucky Shamrock Green Starburst Spray and then a bit of Ocean Breeze Blue was stroked on with a paint brush to highlight the blue in the spray. On the black butterfly, I sprayed on some Royal Peacock Fire Glitz Spray.
The seam binding was sprayed with Bells of Ireland Green Starburst spray. I didn't want to soak it so that I would get a variegated look. I tied 2 pieces into each hole on the pocket page.
This is the back of the pocket letter and it's where I used all of the embossing powders. On the wooden embellishments, I dabbed on a bit of white acrylic paint. Once dry, I heat embossed the colors onto the pieces. I picked the colors out from the papers to coordinate.
Here are a couple of closeups of the embossed pieces. If you look closely you can see some red flecks in each of the pieces. I did that just to add a little drama. I added some Razzleberry Plum embossing powder to each of the other colors. The pink butterfly is Geranium Coral Blush and the frame is Reindeer Moss Green.
The scissors and the frame were embossed with Scotch Broom Yellow. All of the black pieces were embossed with Obviously Black. The corners of each of the pocket letter cards were stamped with a Prima corner stamp, and heat embossed with Obviously Black, Reindeer Moss Green and Razzleberry Plum.
I love the little wooden embellies from Prima. I used Stationers Desk for this project. They were primed with gesso, then heat embossed when dry.
This is the bottom row of the pocket letter. Every embellishment is from Prima.
This is the middle section of the Pocket Letter. I love that the 6x6 pad has very small pocket envelope that you can cut out and put together. They are perfect for writing little notes or keeping memories tucked away.
This is the top section of the Pocket Letter.

Home sales activity in British Columbia continued to taper off in February, with both home prices and sales volume seeing corresponding dips as consumer demand levelled off.
According to the British Columbia Real Estate Association's (BCREA) data release published today, February saw home sales across the province drop by 31.7 per cent compared to February 2016, with 6,580 residential units sold.
The decline in market activity over the first two months of 2017 reflects a return to a more typical level of consumer demand, says BCREA Chief Economist Cameron Muir.
"While the home sales have declined nearly 32 per cent from the extraordinary performance of a year ago, last month's activity reflected the average for the month February since the year 2000," says Muir.
In February, the Greater Vancouver Area contributed fewer home sales to BC's total home sales year-over year, declining to 37 per cent of the province's total sales, compared to 44 per cent in February 2016.
This downturn greatly affected the province's average MLS residential price last month which at $688,117, saw a 11.7 per cent drop from the same period last year.
BC's total sales volume last month decreased 39.7 per cent to $4.53 billion, compared to February 2016.
The decrease in BC's February home sales contributed to the year-over-year 2.6 per cent drop in national sales last month, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association's (CREA) release also published today.
A year ago, BC's Lower Mainland saw extremely elevated sales activity which in turn spiked the national average.
Last month, the actual national average price for homes sold was $519,521, a 3.5 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
Sales activity in the nation's hottest markets, Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto, continues to pull Canada's average home price upwards, but Greater Vancouver's share of national home sales significantly declined over the past year, according to CREA.
If Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto were removed from the mix, the national average sales price would be reduced almost $150,000 to $369,728, says CREA.
Meanwhile, CREA notes Greater Vancouver's new listings also saw a significant decline compared to January levels, with almost a 25 per cent drop — the lowest level since 2001.

A Message from Ginger
Some of you, I hope, may be aware, that the feline family generally favours routine, and order. We prefer our humans to feed us at certain times, and not to fiddle around with our food too much. We select our sleeping places with care to make the best use of the sun. Humans may talk endlessly about being "Green" and conserving energy, but we have always made use of solar power and good insulation.
A problem with human artists is that they often frequent cold buildings with leaky roofs and bad drains, they have little sense of time and order, and suffer from unpredictable moods. Sometimes they work all hours of the day and night, maybe for weeks at a time, other times they stop, and walk around listlessly and complain about "the white fog", "carrying the black dog", or "block".
We felines do our best to teach them better habits, and lead them to a healthier way of living. Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, exercise, groom, sleep, meditate with purring, and so on.... If only they would take notice!!!.....but they still over exert themselves, and end up paying the price!
I am writing this, because I notice that he hasn't got round to updating his blog for such a long time and he feels so bad about that now that he doesn't know how to start it again! He is mostly OK, but really did wear himself out with work for the last exhibition that he had. He muttered a bit about "white fog" and spent hours in front of computers installing and installing Linux operating systems, and forgetting to exercise!
This "fog" lifted recently,
and it was with some alarm that I noticed a huge, two person bush saw being taken from a dusty corner of the studio, and I spied a red faced unfit man sawing down trees outside, sometimes with help from Laura, other times he sawed and chopped on his own.
There is talk amongst the artists of a "shed"..., what ever that is, and there is an area of fairly level ground being made ready for it. So far there is no sign of the "shed", but he keeps listening for it and walking to the back gate. I wonder what colour fur the shed will have and if it will bark or if it will purr? It seems odd to me that it would want to stand outside on muddy ground, when there is a sunny windowsill inside, but... sheds are probably strange creatures like artists. There is no accounting for their taste!
That's all from me for now,

Hope all is well with Laura and you and the cats and all those trying to survive in the necessities of daily life.

Meow miou prrr meough, Ginger. (Thank you for writing, Ginger) Please tell your man human to take it easy on that tree cutting and shed building stuff.
I liked the photos of you, and I presume, Nigella Stopit wandering about. What an interesting place you have in which to explore.
Write again any time. Squeak, Missy and Sweetie Pie said to tell you they are envious of your outside activities.

It is a good thing that those people have you around to keep them Straight. Without you who knows what kind of things would go wrong.
Keep your eye on them and keep coaxing them back.
Try little treats for good behavior- I think they could be trained.

Loved hearing from you Ginger. Don't feel badly having artists for campanions. At least they let you out to explore cool places.
Our companion will not even let us out of the house. Something about the neighbor's pit bulls that enjoy eating cats. Hope that shed thing doesn't have teeth. Then you might become an indoor only cat also.
Enjoy your freedom and ignore the irregular meal times.
Best wishes from Mickey and Minnie.

Hey le Gingembre,
Hope you are fine, sorry I am not on your kind, anyway I have to tell you : on Sunday, something happens and now there are two little babies very close to me. They eat, sleep, and crawl, and recently, dream, they grew by one third in four days, and Armelle spends her time watching them instead of throwing on the wheel.
Gigi and Gügüs are ginger now, soon they will turn russet, I mean.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I did to Miko, sorry.
Oh, say hello to Peter, Laura and NS

Hello Linda,
I've managed to take over the keyboard from Ginger long enough to say Hi, and a big thank you to you! It is so nice to think of the pot staying with you, and Ginger is very thankful for your part in keeping him well fed! Good that it was able to be delivered to you. Will you get to see the Crystal Glaze exhibition at Dunedin in your part of the world?
Meeow, Squeak, Missy, Sweetie Pie, and Pat! Nice to hear from you. Yes, that was Nigella Stopit following me through the jungle... she is like a shadow that follows me everywhere! Today she jumped on my head to surprise me, whilst I was hiding under a tarpaulin waiting to surprise her! There is a funny looking almost flat thing in the drive that they call a shed, but I think it will need feeding before it grows to its full size. They seem rather busy at the moment trying to get its home ready....
Hi Meredith,
I do try to bring them treats to encourage good behaviour, but they don't seem to appreciate the rats and mice that I bring them. I even try to hide them under the chair in the kitchen sometimes, where they will find them as a special surprise... but they just take them outside and bury them. I did hear that dogs bury things... are humans dogs too??
Nice of you to call by Judy, Peter loves what you have been doing with your paintings and the lovely new things you are making. Very inspirational!
Meeows to Mickey and Minnie, and Patti too.. I think the shed is sleeping, and I haven't seen its teeth yet. It doesn't have much fur (and neither does its owner!). I hope it doesn't bark... I'm not afraid of anything, well... not really, but things that wag and bark do make my hair stand on end! Sorry to read that you have pit bulls next door...
Bonjour et Meeow...Armelle, Miko, Gigi, and Gügüs! How lovely to have the new ones in the family. So little when they start out and then they grow so fast! It is no wonder that Armelle spends her time watching.
Happy Purrings to you all,
le M. Gingembre et la petit Mdm. Stopit!

text: Probably seen in the other thread that one of my door handles causes the door to open, so took the car in for it's 6th service visit in 8 months. Gathered a bunch of other little items to provide them when they took care of this issue. One of them was that every once in a while, I would get a key not in car message. The car has been with them for 2 days as they were booked pretty solid. Just got a call, that they believe they found the issue with the key not in car message and they said 1 of the 4 antennas wasn't working and they are working to replace it. So just wanted to share with others, that it may not be the battery. I'm hoping this visit is the last visit before my annual visit in March. As much as I love the customer service, the best service is when you don't need it. I really think our warranty coverage should be pushed out to 8 years no miles too.

When it comes to managing content, successful organizations are looking for much more than a digital filing cabinet. They're looking for solutions that get the right content — whether structured or unstructured, paper or electronic, audio or video, photograph or email — into the right hands at the right time.
To do that, they need solutions that combine traditional content management functionality (capture, security, search & retrieval, auditing, archiving, etc.) with business process management (BPM) tools to both manage and process information.
In this slideshow, Laserfiche explores why the marriage of ECM and BPM makes sense.
