Global research and media intelligence developing brand and reputation
Few things matter more to any business than its reputation… yet the paradox is that it's hard to measure. Built over years, lost in seconds, your reputation precedes your business wherever you go… opening doors, smoothing the path, improving the organisation's licence to operate.
Managing it effectively has never been more difficult. Channels to audience are diverse and complex. Social media is a game changer. Too many solutions and not enough answers.
We cut through all the media noise so that you can – after all – see the wood for the trees. Our research programs tell you which parts of your communications plan are working, where and why… and which are not. Using sophisticated measurement tools and methodology backed up by years of award-winning experience, we provide not just the data, but the meaning behind the data as well as actionable recommendations for global brands and organisations.

When a man and woman are having sex doggy style and the man pulls out before ejacualtion and spits on the woman's back so that she thinks he came on her back, while he jacks off in his hand. When the woman turns around, he throws the cum in his hand on her face and says "BAM."

CNET Prizefight
Flip MinoHD vs. Kodak Zi8There are plenty of HD-quality minicamcorders available to choose from, but Flip Video and Kodak continue to be ahead of the pack for many reasons. Let's head to the ring to see which product comes out on top.
What�s Up Prizefight Fans! I�m Brian Tong and videos cameras come in all shapes and sizes so we�re facing off two that fit in your pocket! It�s throwdown showdown between the second Generation Flip Mino HD and Kodak�s Z-i-8. We�re bringing in CNET�s finest from the NYC to judge this battle, Executive Editor David Carnoy, Senior Editor Joshua Goldman and yours truly will do the honors. We�ll take all three judges scores and average them out to the nearest tenth each round. The FINAL Prizefight score will be an average of all rounds, using the same decimal system. Let�s get physical. First round is Sexiness. = = = = = The Flip Mino HD is the most compact camcorder to date, and we all like its classy metal finish, smooth lines and its almost buttonless design. This guy screams sexy. The Kodak Z-i-8, not so much. It�s not ugly, but its bulkier and not as pocket friendly. I like its large 2-point-5 inch LCD The dark color design is nice, but there is plenty of room to improve its form factor. The Mino HD takes this round with a 4-point 3 and the Z-i-8 gets a 3-point-3. Next round is audio and video quality. = = = = = Audio quality is going to be about the same, and Kodak gives you the option to connect an external mic. But there were differences in the video quality. Both cameras shoot 720p video, but Kodak kicks it up a notch with a 1080p AND 720p shooting at 60frames per second for ultra smooth video. Flip has been the benchmark for video quality and we found that it had slightly warmer and fuller colors, and it also performed better adjusting to different light conditions. Both cameras shine in this round, but Kodak, JUST gets the edge with a 4- point-3 and Flip Video gets a 4. So after averaging two rounds, the Mino HD leads by 4 tenths of a point, there�s plenty more battle to go, next roud is Features. = = = = = Flip�s line of cameras are really known for their simplicity and not for their features. The Mino HD has built-in memory, you won�t need a cable to charge it since it charges through USB, and all you really need is just the camera, but geeks might want a little more. If you�re looking for a little more Kodak�s Z-i-8 brings unique features like an expandable memory slot, for the storage size of your choice, a Macro mode switch to focus on really close objects, and the ability to connect an external mic. Plus HDMI AND composite video outputs. The Z-i-8 hits hard with a 4-point-7 and the Mino HD gets a 3. Round 4 is Software = = = = = Both cameras come with built in software to share your videos, but not all things are created equal. Flip brings its Flip Share app that is compatible with both PCs and Macs. It boasts a cleaner interface and more publishing features like creating video greeting cards, your own private �Flip Channel� and online publishing to Facebook, Youtube and others. I also found editing clips to be easier with FlipShare. Kodak�s Media Impression Software is only PC compatible, but you can easily drag and drop files onto the Mac to edit them in a different program. It has basic editing and a movie maker feature plus publishing options from the expected online services including MySpace and � Flip takes the cake here with a perfect 5 and Kodak gets a 4. Now after averaging 4 rounds, we are tied a 4-point-1, the FINAL ROUND that decides it all is VALUE. = = = = = The Flip Mino HD is a great pocket camcorder, but for $229 dollars retail, you would think they could AT LEAST throw in an HDMI cable. Well you won�t get one here, and you feel like you might not be getting a bang for every buck. The Kodak Z-i-8 starts at $179 dollars retail, and you�re getting everything you can think of in this package with all of its shooting modes, an expandable memory slot for up to 32 GBs, plus anHDMI and composite video cable included. Kodak shines in the final round and gets a 4-point 7 and Flip gets a 4. So after going into the final round tied, The Kodak Z-i-8 pulled out of this neck-and-neck battle 4-point-2 to 4-point-1 and is YOUR PRIZEFIGHT WINNER. Both of these are great pocket camcorders and with a prizefight this close, the REAL winner is you. I�m Brian Tong, thanks for watching and comback next time, for ANOTHER prizefight. Wah-PAW!

Khalifa Hifter's bid to unite Libya under an anti-Islamist banner represents an opportunity for America to back an enemy of our enemies.
Hifter joined the Libyan fray over the weekend, leading assaults against Islamists in Benghazi on Friday and seizing the parliament building in Tripoli on Sunday.
Dozens were killed in the fierce fighting between his loyalists and various opposing militias in several parts of the country.
The skirmishes are the bloodiest since the 2011 overthrow of Moammar Khadafy, at the height of what was then rosily dubbed an Arab Spring.
Three years after the US military helped oust the oppressive Khadafy regime at the height of the "spring," few in the region are crying out for liberal democracy.
Hifter is no Thomas Jefferson, either. His goal is fairly narrow: quash the various offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda vying to dominate Libya.
Yes, in Libya's fractured society, where loyalties can be bought by throwing money and arms at tribal politicians and militias, the Islamists are on the march.
Backed by regional powerhouses like Qatar and Turkey, the Muslim Brotherhood and its clones managed impressive gains in the wake of the Arab revolutions — not only in Libya, but in neighboring Egypt and elsewhere.
But the anti-Islamist pushback is now in full swing.
The military coup in Egypt unseated the Brotherhood there, and now Gen. Abdel Fatah al-Sisi is set to sweep next week's election, running on the platform of fighting the Brotherhood.
Even Qatar, diplomatic sources tell me, is slowly pulling back from its past wholesale support for the Brotherhood and other political Islamists.
Meanwhile, the Saudis and other Gulf states, which have fiercely opposed the Brotherhood from Day One, are helping al-Sisi with a $16 billion aid package (compared with our $1.5 billion a year to the second-largest US foreign-aid recipient) — and now they're throwing their weight behind Libya's Hifter as well.
The last Libyan election, in 2012, left the parliament evenly divided between Islamists and anti-Islamists.
Back in April, pressure got to the then-interim prime minister, Abdullah al-Thinni, who said his family was under constant threats. To avoid further bloodshed, he said, he wouldn't even form a Cabinet.
Then the Islamists in parliament last week named one of their own, Ahmed Maiteeq, to form a new Cabinet. That's when Hifter decided enough was enough.
The 71-year-old ex-general donned his old uniform, assaulted the parliament building and managed to — at least for now — unite most of Libya's top anti-Islamist political and military players behind him.
Hifter is no stranger to Libyans.
Back in 1969, he was one of the plotters who helped Khadafy overthrow King Idris.
In the face of Khadafy's excesses, he tried to stage a coup in the 1980s; when that failed, he left the country, gained US citizenship and lived in northern Virginia until 2011, when he returned to a hero's welcome.
Now he wants to do in Libya what al-Sisi did in Egypt: Declare all-out war on the Islamists.
The Islamists won't easily give up. On Tuesday, much of the parliament gathered in a Tripoli hotel and (after asking a militia from Misrata, a Brotherhood stronghold, to defend it against Hifter) called for a new election on June 25.
What does America think? Well, the Obama administration has yet to say.
After initially supporting Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Washington declined to call al-Sisi's overthrow of Mohamed Morsi's Brotherhood government last year a "coup." We couldn't risk cutting off aid to Egypt.
The administration's since been publicly cool to al-Sisi's ruthless suppression of the Brotherhood — even as it quietly supports his war against al Qaeda in the Sinai.
Anyone in the region trying to make sense of us is hopelessly confused.
Libya represents a chance to clarify. It was there, after all, that President Obama exerted US power to help oust Khadafy.
But then we did little to stabilize the place, and even less so after the Benghazi Islamists killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack.
OK: This president prefers to lead from behind, and the voters are tired of America's involvement in the world. We're not going to do much.
But Obama could revive his old "let me be very clear" schtick, and declare which side we're on.
As the dream of liberal democracy flourishing across the Mideast fades into nightmare, we need to say we side with the region's least-bad forces.
In Libya, Egypt and elsewhere, those are the anti-Islamists.

The spin-off show started when Caleb Rivers hopped off the bus to Ravenswood to help his girlfriend Hanna Marin (PLL), but when he stays to help Miranda Collins find her uncle he stumbles upon their two graves (I'd book it right then and there if I were in his shoes!). Caleb is shocked but wants answers, so he vows to stay until he gets them. This show is a bit like Pretty Little Liars (mysteries, pretty girls and hot guys), but it's a LOT creepier as they're dealing with spirits and things. I don't know if I like it, but it's caught my attention. Let's move forward to the first episode's highlights:
The Accident
They say Ravenswood is cursed and the five kids are starting to believe it. Remy was driving Miranda, Caleb, Luke and Olivia after the Halloween Parade (possibly to drive them home?) and Miranda sees a figure on the road which she then swerves the wheel. This kills her, and thus starts the mysterious "theory" which Remy figures out (more on this later).
Olivia and Luke
Luke went snooping and found a letter their dad wrote to their mom before he died. The mystery of who killed his father will be forever a burden and everyone is a suspect, including someone in his own family. He thinks that their mother was cheating on their dad, and Olivia wants no part whatsoever in this theory that she tears the letter in front of her brother's face. However, later on she tries approaching her mom and asked her if there really was anyone else, which she cannot answer back. Olivia storms off with her brother eavesdropping off by the stairwell, and this sketchy behavior really makes their mom seem guilty.
Olivia and Tess
At first glance, Tess seems to be the bestest (yes I said bestest lol) friend any girl could ask for. She seems very loyal, upbringing and will back you up, but like I mentioned in my Ravenswood 101 post, I think Tess is the kind of friend that feeds off your failures to be her wins.

WATCHUNG – Mount Saint Mary Academy's robotics team enters this year's competition season as the only team from an all-girls school in its division of the FIRST Tech Challenge, a national robotics competition for high school students. In an activity dominated by boys, the Mount team has excelled and looks to continue to improve its performance as it resumes competing this month.
"It's really important for women to have opportunities in the science fields because in many areas, we're underrepresented," said Mount senior Meaghan Conlon of Edison. "We're proud to compete and excited to have this experience."
Students in the FIRST Tech Challenge designs, builds, and programs their own robots which then compete against those created by other teams. A new robot must be created each year in order to perform specific functions pertaining to the challenge. The Mount team has named this year's robot Sisyphus since it is designed to perform a similar task to the mythical king who repeatedly pushed a large bolder uphill.
For some students, the Mount robotics team creates the opportunity to expand on scientific knowledge in order to prepare for higher education. "It's interesting to be able to learn, build, and program," said Mount junior Kaitlyn Pellicano of Dunellen, an aspiring computer engineering major and last year's recipient of the NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Award. "It's nice to apply academic skills to something fun while preparing for the challenges of college."
The Mount robotics team was created only last year and in its inaugural season, the girls reached the state championship round and won numerous Motivate Awards for team spirit and community outreach.
The ten-player team gives much credit to faculty moderator and team founder Suzanne Grandstrand for helping them get off to such a strong start. "The teachers here are always looking for new opportunities to help students and we were fortunate to have Mrs. Grandstrand help us form the team," said Pellicano. "It's because of how supportive and encouraging our teachers are that we're able to compete."
The team's hard work and ability has also have a lot to do with its success. In addition to practices after school, the girls spend multiple hours on campus every Saturday preparing their robot for competition. The Mount squad resumes FIRST Tech competition this month.

Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Garen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Garen the might of sunfire capes
This build is not for a TANK garren or a DPS garren it is for a TANK DPS garren. Garren with this build should be a good strong champ that can dive into team fights as well as to great aoe damage.
A great champ who is easy to play with at both high and low elo
Great chaser
Great teamfighter
Good escape mechanisms
He can make a giant sword fall from the sky
Cant auto attack for good damage
Cant tank for to long
Only effective in short bursts
He isnt Heim
Summoner Spells
I generally will chose ghost and ignite as they are both aggresive spells and allow garren to perform more damage more quickly. You could also take others in place of each other for obvious situations it wont impact your game that much as i once used clarity and revive and ended up going 23-2-26
The masteries I use are purely used for offensive purposes as the 21 in offence provide great damage and the small amount in defence help him stay in team fights that little bit longer. U can change between the nimbleness and improved ghost spells depending weather you know most of the other team are auto dps (nimbleness in a ranked game) or in a game full of casters (ghost)
The flat hp is great early game as well as the armour pen and also helps late game to the cooldowns at 18 provide a quick refresh for judgement during teamfights and chasing while the dodge makes you great against dps throughout the game
Boots are purely common sense usually get ever mercs or nija tabi depending on the other team and swiftness if you are struggling to chase dont get greaves or sorcerers and you will be fine
Sunfires,Sunfires,Sunfires they are op.
This should be your fist item followed by a phage and another sf to make sure u can chase aoe, silence ult in quick sucesseion this means that you are great and picking up creep kills for your courage as well as scaring of the other team your impaler is great as it gives you more damage output from your judgement (as it increases through crit chance) and gives more armour to give more damage which also comes from your sunfires lastly a guardian will make you have great suvivibility and improve your damage once again
Early Game
Start out with a dorans shield or boots and hp pots this shall give u good lane controll as you will be able to stay in it for long periods of time. Make sure you lane with a good slow or stun with lots of burst damage like xin or ryze. Harrass with judgement and get your creep kills up by lasthitting NOT auto attacking as you want the other team to push. Hide in the brush and get your partner to slow or stun q them the e in front of them to force them to either run throgh you or back to your tower. Get a giants belt then upgrade your boots.
Mid Game
By now you should do a lot of aoe damage so you should start ganking head to any lane with champs with low hp and just ghost q and e finish with your ult ONLY if they will escape if you dont use it.Get a phage and then build a second sunfire or frozen mallet depending on how much chasing your doing and how much team fights you are in.
Late Game
Keep lane changing with your team dont be afraid to solo a lane as long as the whole team isnt mia. Keep pushing and get dragon and red buff as much as possible. Make sure baron if warded and get your impaler. Now its time to push even more try to gank and create team fights by waiting for there team to move first allways silence their importand casters like annie or ammumu and aoe them like their is no tommorow take each lane one by one farming along the wat get your guadian angel and get barron now it should be gg if you had a good team so pat your self on the back.
Rules for Garren
Be aggresive and gank this is what garren is made for as he (thanks to this build) as he silences, slows, aoes, and finishes with ult or ignite
Dont turtle, help your team, ward and call mias remember you cant carry a team you can only be as good as they are so pre-mades are really good xD
Thats it so have some fun and remember you are a tank dps so play like one

Hi friends and family.
I'm running the 2012 NYC Marathon and I need your help!
I decided that if I was gonna go through this pain, I wanted to do it for a great cause so I'm raising money for an incredible organization called CampInteractive.
CI is a Bronx-based nonprofit that inspires inner-city kids to step back into nature and forward into technology. They execute their goals through a two-pronged program. First, CI takes students on outward-bound style adventure trips to open their minds and enhance leadership abilities. The students are outfitted with cameras, journals, and video equipment, and they are encouraged to record their experience. Upon returning to NYC, the students create a video, edit their photos, write stories, and build a website using their experience to fuel the content. This process gives students real-world applicable technology skills and the courage and leadership to use them. Here is a great video if you want to learn more about the program: https://vimeo.com/23972267
I really believe in CI's mission and have committed to raising $5,000 to keep these programs running. I would truly appreciate your help in reaching this goal! Please donate securely through my Crowdrise page by clicking here: http://www.crowdrise.com/teaminteractivemarathon2012/fundraiser/charlesbirnbaum/donate
for a $50 donation you can:
+ get a sweaty hug from me at the mile marker of your choosing

The Concept of the Political
Expanded Edition
With a Foreword by Tracy B. Strong and Notes by Leo Strauss
In this, his most influential work, legal theorist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt argues that liberalism's basis in individual rights cannot provide a reasonable justification for sacrificing oneself for the state—a critique as cogent today as when it first appeared. George Schwab's introduction to his translation of the 1932 German edition highlights Schmitt's intellectual journey through the turbulent period of German history leading to the Hitlerian one-party state. In addition to analysis by Leo Strauss and a foreword by Tracy B. Strong placing Schmitt's work into contemporary context, this expanded edition also includes a translation of Schmitt's 1929 lecture "The Age of Neutralizations and Depoliticizations," which the author himself added to the 1932 edition of the book. An essential update on a modern classic, The Concept of the Political, Expanded Edition belongs on the bookshelf of anyone interested in political theory or philosophy.

Amie, by her own admission, is not the most empathetic person in the universe. Sometimes that happens when your recovery from a car accident results in a bunch of surgeries. As a result, I've been the one to go with him for all his surgeries except one, his locally done tympanoplasty. This time she was going to LA and dealing with the stress of uncertainty regarding rides, housing etc.
The Lead Up
She needed to get some details sorted out in preparation for their trip on Saturday. They were going to stay with a friend on Saturday night, but needed to nail down details for Sunday and Monday. Our friend lived about 45 minutes away from the hospital. I'd been told she may be able to stay in the PICU the night after the surgery. At Shriners' they required me to stay overnight if he was staying overnight (that only happened once, thankfully). But they were uncertain, and she needed to be certain. She also needed to know if there was a spot at the nearby Ronald McDonald House.
So the phone calls began: the hospital, Shriners' and the Ronald McDonald House. She discovered that parents did not stay in the PICU, but there was a "Community Parents' Room" with curtains between beds. "Sorta like camp?" "I'm really not sure." This was not sounding like a great option, but rather a last resort.
On the RMH front, nothing. She left messages. She got the weekend loop of "Dial 0" which brings you back to the same message. She had to go the "hotel points" route for a nearby hotel. Accommodations were set, but it took awhile and some frustration.
Despite his little brother having a runny nose all week, Eli didn't seem to have any cold symptoms. He may have escaped illness which would postpone the surgery.
Heading to LA
It was a 12:30 flight to the City of (Fallen) Angels. This meant we could have our usual Saturday breakfast together of waffles and bacon. While talking that morning before breakfast she mentioned:
A: "I really wish you were going, not me."
S: "I am a cad and a scoundrel."
A: "You know why I can go?"
S: "No."
A: "Because there are no exercise classes that week. I didn't need to find a substitute."
Praise God for the little things.
Eli never really unpacked his backpack which was already bursting with books, toys and his tablet. He just added to it. This time he remembered a charger; two actually. Not wanting to mess up her neck meant bringing her pillow, which meant bringing a bigger suitcase (violating my travel light policy). Thanks to the "pre-op" appointments this was a longer trip than usual.
It was an easy ride to the airport. Child #1 bailed on us since she hates car rides. "I can say 'good-bye' here." She just wanted to be dumped at the curb. Contrary to her wishes I came to a complete stop. They made it to the gate and waited. And waited.
A weather system was slowing down flights. Their plane was coming from Denver which had recently suspended flights indefinitely. Thankfully their plane had taken off, although late, before the suspension. But there was the appointments, a schedule to keep. This creates stress. Despite the delay, they arrived in LA in due time, met our friend and were off to the appointments at the hospital.
Keep in mind, these were necessary "pre-op" appointments to take place within three days of the surgery. I'm thinking blood work and stuff like that. They weighed him, measured his height, took his blood pressure, a nasal swab, and an oral history. The first two were done on Monday. The last was all in his file which they should have had. No off book surgeries in Mexico. So they made Amie and Eli travel early and spend an extra day so they could take his blood pressure and a nasal swab. Yeah. But at least they got to celebrate Dr. Thomas' birthday with her and her family. They enjoyed some good Indian food, reminding them of the times Reena would cook for community group.
On our end, things were pretty uneventful. In light of an upcoming trip, and the fact that we only had one key for the van, I stopped by a place to get a spare. It was 40 minutes of whining by the little people. After rest time I popped some corn and we watched the rest of The Princess Bride, which we had started the previous week. Child #1 even joined us (that tween thing). We had some red beans & rice for dinner.
Sunday was rather uneventful. But there were two key moments when it created unfortunate circumstances for me. Those were the moments Amie called.
Since I had "medical leave" I was not preaching. I taught SS and lead the liturgy, but one of the assistant pastors of a sister church in town preached for us. Since I planned on being home all day Monday, I printed off a bunch of stuff for our Session meeting Monday night. Then I got the phone call. Distracted, I forgot to send the liturgy information to my admin, and forgot to get my paperwork from the printer. I did not yet realize this unfortunate reality.
One of the things she told me was that he was groggy and had a sniffly nose. Perhaps he was coming down with Asher's cold. But one side effect of the pain meds we were supposed to give him was drowsiness. Who really knows.
After giving them lunch, I watched the Patriots beat the Broncos (yes!!). Then we all watched Chicken Run since Micah wanted to watch it. Asher loves that movie, laughing all the way through even if he doesn't catch all "The Great Escape" allusions. Then it was time to work on dinner. I forgot to thaw chicken which I intended to cover with Bisquick and creole seasoning. So I used the last of the Tyson breaded chicken which was just enough, barely, for the 4 of us. I made some cheesy risotto and was sauteing spinach. At the critical moment, Amie called.
In a panic. She had the borrowed Civic and her phone was going to die. She needed it for directions but couldn't find the plug to charge it. Reena and her mom were in the worship service and couldn't be reached. With the food at the point of being done or burning, she wanted me to look up the schematics to discover the location. I couldn't find it, but she finally did (passenger side in the obvious location of under the dashboard- there is a special place in Hades for engineers like this). And my spinach burned.
The Day Of
Eli was scheduled to be there at 5:30. His was the second surgery on tap, but you just never know if they may have to switch the order. Nope. So began the wait with Eli watching the Cartoon Network for a few hours, awaiting his turn. Eventually they were brought to a room to watch more Cartoon Network and play on his tablet. Finally Dr. Magee showed up and the process of preparation began.
When he's had surgery at Shriners', they give me a pager. I can walk around to get exercise, pray, read and go get something to eat. At this hospital, Amie was trapped in the family waiting room. They didn't let her go get food. I told her, "Ask if they'll give you free migraine medication since they won't let you go eat." They had her cell number in case of emergency, but they wouldn't let her leave.
Dr. Magee came out and talked to her. He thinks the sphincterplasty went well, and he did remove two teeth that were growing through his palate. If he's happy, I'm happy.
In recovery and PICU he struggled with nausea. More so than usual. The night nurse had a similar problem and was all over it. After she went to sleep, Amie went back to the hotel to get some sleep. I wanted her to peek into the "family community room", but you can't always get what you want.
Back on the home front all was going well. We did school work and then went to Wal-Mart to pick up some ingredients for the shrimp scampi that was on the menu that night. We were taking advantage of Amie's allergic absence. I had invited the elders over for dinner, so just in case there wasn't enough shrimp, I bought some 4-cheese Italian sausage. We picked up lunch at Chipotle since there were no leftovers from the night before, and ate at the church office so I could get my materials for the meeting.
The Aftermath
The next day he was still struggling with nausea. While he'd already peed, he needed to keep a meal down before he could leave. And so the wait began. And the stress due to the immovable flight time. At least on our end.
While she was waiting, we did school work after our second morning in a row of pancakes. Then it was off to work for about an hour to do some things I couldn't do from home. Then back home for some leftover scampi and angel hair pasta.
Eli seemed to be well enough, so Reena, aka Dr. Thomas, arrived to get them to the airport so they could wait. LAX was horribly behind. 40% of the flights were late, and 40% were extremely late. On time was no longer a possibility, so which would it be- late or extremely late.
I checked on the plane's arrival to LAX from Phoenix. That it was in the air was good. There was still plenty of confusion on their end as flights back logged, The plane couldn't get to the gate because another flight was boarding. When they boarded, it looked like there were about 90 minutes behind schedule. So the rest of us ate the turkey soup I made. My first soup. Just before we left, I checked again. Apparently they spent another half hour sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off. Now it was an 8 pm arrival instead of 5:45.
When we got to the airport, they were now scheduled for an 8:15 arrival. This just keeps getting better. But they arrived safe and sound. Soon we were all home again.
Eli has been doing well. When asked about this pain he often say "1" or "0". He has been getting more active. He has had trouble swallowing the pills. He also is less excited about pureed food. We've noticed he sounds different. But the food thing can be a pain for him. We stopped by a local theater to get a "loyalty shirt" which gets you a free medium popcorn when you wear it to the movies. I didn't realize they'd actually give me one today. Eli was upset that Micah could have some, and he couldn't. Yes, disappointing. But he's on the right track.

This Week on the Island 10/07/2007
'This week on the Island' is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pictures this week are the first Margaritaville at Lands End and Margaritaville on Duval Street. Another place the Parrot Heads will be spending a lot of time during MOTM (Meeting of the Minds, the annual gathering of Parrot Heads in Key West in November).
The pictures this week are the first Margaritaville at Lands End and Margaritaville on Duval Street. Another place the Parrot Heads will be spending a lot of time during MOTM (Meeting of the Minds, the annual gathering of Parrot Heads in Key West in November).
The Weather: Lots of wind the first of the week, then clear and warm, then rain. Saturday was beautiful.
This weeks book was 'Flush' by Carl Hiaasen. It is a bit like 'Hoot'. Some kids in south Florida trying to stop pollution. I found it in the 'young adult' section of the Key West library. It was very enjoyable reading.
We had 1,950 baby turtles hatch on the Key West beaches this year.
Mallory Square is on the list of places to be remodeled by the city. The part near the water where the performers put on their acts is suppose to be torn down and rebuilt.
Met some folks from Anderson, SC the first of the week and some folks from Lake Charles, LA the last of the week. The folks from SC knew some people from my old karate days.
It is kind of slow on the island so why don't you spend the day with me.
When I get up each morning about 6:30 AM, Wyleigh, Sassi and I go for a SHORT walk. Out the door, down Elizabeth Street and over to Conch Republic Seafood. Then we go up Lazy Lane past Buffett's recording studio, past Schooner Wharf Bar, past the Wyland Wall, and toward Turtle Kraal's. Then we go out to Caroline Street and past Flagler's Railroad Museum, past Harpoon Harry's, past Pepe's Restaurant and then back home. I read the paper and check the internet as I drink coffee. Then we go for a LONG walk. Down Caroline Street 2 blocks to Duval, right on Duval and past the Bull and on toward Sloppy Joe's. Then we take a left on Green Street and past Captain Tony's and on toward Mel Fishers and the cruise ship's. We walk to the port past the Hilton and over to Mallory Square and then to the Aquarium area so the dogs can play in the fountain. We leave there and go by Hog's Breath and on up Front Street past Two Friends Restaurant, Island Dog, the Pirate Museum and up to A&B Lobster House. Then we circle the Bight, go past Conch Republic and head back home. It is now about 9:00 AM. Time to eat a bowl of Albertson's honey oats and almonds. Then I sit on the front porch in my rocking chair and read.
After lunch we take another dog walk up Lazy Lane. Now we go for a bike ride. First we oil the chain and check the air pressure in the tires. Now I get on my $55 Kmart one speed bike and head up Caroline Street past Duval to Whitehead. We take a left and go past the post office, the end of US#1, and the Green Parrot. Further along on Whitehead we pass Hemmingway's House, and on to the Southernmost Point. We turn and go up South to Vernon and take a right and go to Dog Beach next to Louie's Back Yard. We take a left on Waddell and go to Reynolds where we take a right and go by the Casa Marina. We take a left on Atlantic and on to Higgs Beach and White Street Pier. After riding out on the pier and back We take a right back up Atlantic for a mile or so to Smathers Beach. After another mile we are at the airport. We continue on up A1A and past where House Boat Row used to be, past the VA clinic and into the intersection coming onto the island. Now we are headed South on US1 (Roosevelt Drive). We pass Publix and Sears, then Albertsons and Kmart, then the Winn-Dixie shopping center and on into 'Old Town'. We take a right at Palm Ave and cross the Garrison Bight and on to Eaton Street. A right on Grinnell and a left on Caroline Street and coast on home. We have ridden a little over 12 miles.
Time to sit on the porch again and read some more. Later we take another long walk with the dogs to Mallory Square to watch the sunset. After sunset we go back up Front Street and around the Bight and back home. We feed the dogs, get something to eat and settle in for the night. You may want to go out on Duval and check out the night life, but I think I will watch some TV.
Key West, You have got to love it

Belle EpoqueBook - 2013
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Ever get tired of books that invariably describe the heroine as "Beautiful" or at least "pretty"? Welcome to "Belle Epoque", (Beautiful Time). It certainly isn't a beautiful time for teenage Maude, who finds that her plainness nabs her a posh job posing as a companion for marriageable daughters of ambitious mothers. She acts as a "foil" to make her employers look prettier by comparison. Fans of "The DUFF" (and smart, daring girls in general) will love this one.
The notion behind "Belle Epoque"—using ugly women to enhance pretty ones—is so bizarre it's almost a shame to realize that Ms. Ross got the idea from a short story by Emile Zola. But the idea of buying and selling women is hardly a new one; the author just gives it a new slant.
Reading Maude Pichon's gradual change from a country girl to a city lady filled with an inflated idea of her own importance is to be thrilled and saddened at once. We know that Maude is heading for a fall; we just can't turn away from her headlong plunge into doom.
Paris is also drawn, with all its charm, splendor and grime. When Ms. Ross writes about the city, her descriptions are writ large; her encapsulation of individuals is limited mainly to the agency where Maude works, the pianist/composer she likes and the wealthy patrons she attends. The other denizens of Paris are drawn in broader strokes but there is no sense of bland conformity about them. They are people if not individuals and they each fill their niches in proper order, letting us see them in their different mileaus.
But it is Maude who shines with her quiet strength and fierce determination to rise above her origins. Maude's journey is both spiritual and physical and it is deeply gratifying to read her realizations about herself and the world around her. She's hardly a deep thinker; her revelations tend to come in flashes rather than long, considered thought. But when she does come to a decision, she embraces it, casting off whatever wrong-headed thoughts she may have had.
She's a heroine to admire in a book that is radical, satisfying and sublime. "Belle Epoque" is a petit bijou, just like the city it portrays.
I enjoyed this novel immensely. The author did a wonderful job researching the setting of Paris in the 1800s so much so that I felt that I was transported to that era. I liked how this book was not focused on romance, but was a character driven story.
This was a fascinating look at Paris in the 1800s and a great story about the meaning of friendship and beauty. The concept of hiring a "beauty foil" to make a socialite more attractive was intriguing. I was caught up in the time period, the characters, the storyline and Maude's dilemma. Maude makes some difficult choices but the overly satisfying ending may be a little too neat for some. I found her friends' easy forgiveness of her after her harsh words, a little too hard to digest, but other than that, a great read!
I had so much fun reading this! It is clearly a first novel -- she could write better -- but her world-building, her history was thrilling and interesting. When I was done, as an adult, I REALLY wanted more from this time frame, more from the characters, more especially about the amazing Sorbonne experiences to happen for the protagonists' friend Isabelle. So, here's hoping that the author expands on this book -- or writes for adults using the same time frame. Recommended for girls interested in more than what this cover promises and for adults looking for something delightful and light. Still, the book raises some good questions about appearance and how our culture looks at it -- enough for a teen discussion, anyway.
Write more, Ms.Ross.

In Florida they have 1 year after the closing to seek the deficiency balance from you. This is a very - very good reason to use competent parties on your behalf, i.e., the listing REALTOR and the short sale attorney. With the right help, you can be sure to get the best representation both selling the house and best representation with negotiating with the bank. MOST of our clients get this potential deficiency balance waived! The bank waives their right to collect the balance in their terms for short sale approval - they do this IN WRITING.
How to choose the right real estate agent for your short sale? Don't choose your best buddy, don't choose your mom's friend, don't choose anyone unless they have a TEAM of professionals that can complete the process and the sale. BEWARE! Most Jacksonville REALTORS do not want to do short sales. Most haven't done a short sale and have no idea how to go about it other than what they have "heard" from their office mates. From my experience, it takes time, persistence, and a large amount of specialized knowledge to make it all work. I did my first short sale in 2007 and have since put together a short sale team including a local attorney's office who works on your behalf to negotiate with the bank. We keep up with the ever changing world of Short Sales and keep perfecting our processes to better complete each sale. This cost you nothing and should give you ultimate peace of mind knowing you have a competent and professional team working on your behalf. Contact The Brad Officer Real Estate Team.
BIG CHANGE JUST HAPPENED in AUGUST 2013: 1 year after short sale, you can qualify for an FHA loan. In Jacksonville the FHA Loan Limit is $304,750. That's a lot of purchase power in just 1 years time. UPDATE: This isn't quite as easy as the lenders would have you believe, but it is happening. The key is having a documented temporary hardship that caused the need to short sale. It's a little fuzzy, but yes the mortgage companies will give you a loan after a short sale and almost always after your 2 year anniversary of the short sale and SOME may even do it after that 1st year anniversary (still a little fuzzy). Are you there already? If you are, cruise over to the Homes For Sale and have a look at what's on the market!
There are more houses than ever available for rent in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas. Many are vacant and never lived in. Many people I have worked with in the past end up in nicer houses that the ones they sold....for less money. Fairly easy to start the search, and you may consider looking on Craigslist.com. Keep your budget in check and don't be scared to negotiate the right rental terms. Save some cash, keep paying your bills on time, pay down any other debts, and get ready to buy a home in 1 year
Will your credit be affected by a Short Sale? Yes, absolutely. You can't get out that easy. Stop paying the mortgage = negative credit hit. Short Sale = negative credit hit. No way around it, but if you are reading this, you probably could care less at this point. The good news, your credit will bounce back if you keep paying all your other bills and debts on time. And it bounces back FAST.
These are legitimate cost that you should plan for and expect:
It's one of the worst real estate markets since the Great Depression, and the buyers in the market aren't getting a deal when buying your house...they are getting a house at today's market value. The buyers know this, and their real estate agent knows this. Your house must stand out in the crowd of homes on the market. Follow this items below and it's a good first step:
Yes. Almost impossible to keep it hidden as anyone with a brain can figure it out. Realistically, many of your neighbors are most likely considering doing the same if they are upside down in the value of their homes. Also, it is noted in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) that the sale is a Short Sale so every REALTOR and every potential buyer will know.....which ultimately will attract more buyers as they know they can buy the home for today's values.
Disclaimer: You should always consult with an attorney to know your legal rights and an accountant to understand your potential tax consequences.
We look forward to working as your Short Sale real estate agent and Short Sale Realtor in Jacksonville FL.

It is not uncommon for individuals who are the beneficiaries of a will or those who believe that they have been unfairly excluded from a will to consider contesting the will's validity. While, under BC law,1 wills that are otherwise valid can be challenged or failing to provide adequate provision for the testator's spouse or children, a will's validity itself can be attacked as well. Some of the more common grounds under which a will can be challenged are detailed below. For information or advice regarding a specific case, call our office today.
- Lack of mental capacity on the part of the testator – A person who makes a will must be aware of the fact that he or she is making a will, be aware of the property at issue, understand what he or she was giving and to whom, and be free from a mental defect that could affect his or her judgment regarding these kinds of issues. These kinds of challenges to a will are common when people make a will later in life or when they are in the early stages of an illness that may affect their judgment.
- Undue influence – In some cases, there may be evidence that the terms of person's will were the result of the coercion or overbearing nature of another person and that they do not accurately reflect the wishes of the testator. When this is the case, a will's validity may be challenged for undue influence.2
- Due execution – In order to be valid, a will must comply with certain legal formalities, including the fact that the will must be in writing, signed by the testator or at the testator's direction, the signature must be made or acknowledged by the testator in the presence of two witnesses who are both present, the witnesses must sign the will, and the testator must be at least 19. There are specific provisions for members of the armed forces, so always check with a lawyer regarding the validity of your will.
Contact a Vancouver estate litigation lawyer today to discuss your options
If you are considering disputing the validity of a will, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to determine whether you have a case. To schedule a consultation with one of our experienced Vancouver estate litigation lawyers, call McLarty Wolf today at 644-688-9542 or send us an email through our online contact form.

They match
Hong's alterations at Parramall had braid that matched the fabric colour, so you could say this outfit is complete. What I'm thinking is the top is needs more fitting and I've tried to angle the sleeves so I'll wear this outfit, when the weather warms up a bit after my Dad's 40-day memorial service.
Now I'm going to experiment with a simple sleeveless dress in a chiffon weight fabric and a fine knit lining. The fashion fabric as a large pink print on white background and the lining is flesh coloured pink so I'll try that this weekend - and try to find any other unfinished garments.

Maria, looking very good, is it the same braid on the sleeves? If you want some help to fit, bring it on the 18th.

HI Sharon,
I was able to buy two types of braiding in the same colour. The wider braid is on the sleeves and I'd like to make them more angled so I'll bring it on the 18th, with my handy quick unpick.

By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
At first Shawn Magnuson and his friends were laughing.
Seeing the firsthand impact from Hurricane Sandy Monday evening changed the mood rather quickly.
Magnuson, a 2010 McNary High School graduate, is a junior at Nyack College in Nyack, New York. That gave Magnuson a great view of the big storm.
"We have a pretty good view of cities across the Hudson River like Winchester," Magnuson said. "So many explosions lighting up the sky, transformers exploding everywhere. Cities there were all black. Then the city here went black. There was a constant roar of the wind."
Initially, Magnuson said there were jokes mixed with disappointment.
"It was cool," the 21-year-old said. "Even when we lost power, it was cool. We could hang out. When we woke up (Monday), we were disappointed. There was not much of anything. We thought the media just hyped it up. Then we found out it was hitting later in the evening. It really did deliver everything the media said would happen.
"We were laughing at first," Magnuson added. "Then when trees started to fall and there were explosions, it started to be not as funny anymore. It's so dark, you can hardly see. You don't know if a tree is going to fall on you. That's when it got serious. (Tuesday) morning, we saw so many trees downed."
Magnuson said the power went out around 6 p.m. Monday and a number of old oak trees were uprooted.
"It was one thing after another," he said. "The wind was just roaring. You could hear the oak trees going down one after the other. That was a little intense. All night it was hard to sleep because the wind was so loud. It was a bit uneasy. I got some sleep, but it was pretty hard for a while there."
Magnuson's dad, Mike Allegre of Keizer, was not overly worried, for several reasons.
"His mom and I were not concerned because we knew the path of the storm," Allegre said. "We knew it would go south. We also know he's a smart young man and he would do the right thing, plus the school would protect them. But you know there is always the unknown. We watched all the weather reports for hours with interest. He was fine. We got reports from Shawn all day (Monday). His school is kind of like Corban University, a small community where everyone watches out for each other. We knew if he had a problem, he had places to go."
One place for Magnuson to go Tuesday morning was around the campus.
"My roommate and I got up around 8 and looked around," Magnuson said. "Trees were down everywhere, across the road, power lines were down. These were huge trees. I've never been through anything that intense before. People here said it was far worse than Hurricane Irene (summer of 2011). It was a pretty intense experience. It was a very humbling experience."
Also humbling has been the messages from friends back home in Keizer and other parts of Oregon.
"I have a lot of friends in Oregon texting me, saying they are praying for us," Magnuson said. "That was pretty cool."
Not so cool was hearing chainsaws at 5 a.m. Tuesday.
"There is a lot of clean up going on," he said. "The crews here are amazing. They cleaned up trees off the road."
Magnuson noted things were a bit out of the ordinary in the school cafeteria Tuesday.
"The atmosphere was a little different," he said. "People were more surprised than shocked. No one really expected it. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. We've worked so much with technology, today it's been people just hanging out more.

Wedding SingerI kinda like singing in weddings. It's always an honor to be asked. Usually there is champagne. People are dressed really nice. If the song is during the ceremony, the guest and the couple tend to listen (more than at a bar gig, that's for sure – ha)! I've been singing at weddings since I was in my late teens / early twenties. Unfortunately, the marriage success rate isn't 100% so I can't say that I'm a lucky charm, but MOST of the couples have remained together! I think I've sang in about 25 weddings thus far.

Gap-Year Kids Leave to Study For A Year in Israel
Many college-bound high school graduates are packing up their inflatable sofas and plan to stay abreast Middle East news using wireless laptops. But some of their peers will get a real-time glimpse of current events as they prepare for a year of study in Israel.
In the wake of the recent eruptions of violence in the region, the resolve of students intent on spending a "gap year" between high school graduation and freshman year of college engaged in study or service in Israel has remained strong. While most are relieved that the cease-fire has eased immediate threats, they know that the situation is far from over.
The war in northern Israel has left her feeling "no different than before" about studying in Jerusalem, said Adina Stohl, who graduated from the Yeshiva of Los Angeles Girls High School (YULA) in June and is starting at the Michlalah women's school in Jerusalem in September.
Alison Silver, an alumna of Shalhevet High School who left for Michlelet Mevaseret Yerushalayim in late August, shares Stohl's conviction that her year in Israel will remain relatively unaltered despite recent turbulence in the region.
"I think that in the beginning the seminaries are going to be stricter," she said, "but I was already anticipating a year of 'You shouldn't do this, it's not safe.'"
