What sets Urbane Design apart from other interior design companies?
We take a simple approach to design, first and foremost focusing on functionality as well as aesthetics. We work with you to design the space of your dreams, within your budget and your time frame, and to suit all of your lifestyle needs. Whether you are looking to reconfigure the layout of your entire home, convert an unused bedroom into a theater room or select furniture and accessories we can help you reach the optimal potential of your home. Urbane Design offers a unique pay-as-you-go service, which allows you to use the services of an interior designer as much or as little as you need them throughout your project, ensuring that you receive a professional, cost effective service. Finally, our extensive portfolio displays a broad range of lush, sophisticated and dramatic interiors that are all unique to the individual who hired us. See what others have to say about Urbane Design.
Why hire an interior designer?
For the same reason you would hire skilled professionals in other areas of your life (i.e. insurance, finance, attorney, health, etc.) We are experts in our field and your investment in your home is too valuable not to turn out exactly as you have dreamed. We will advise you on the best use of your design budget, guide you through the design process for a higher standard of living and longer lasting design, assure you through our skilled space planning that your choices will be scaled appropriately for each room, and most importantly design a home that is unique to your lifestyle! Mistakes and poor time management are costly, rely on our expertise and call for your consultation today!
What is the difference between an interior designer and a decorator?
In a nutshell: education and experience.
A decorator is someone who primarily deals with colors, finishes and furniture and typically stays within the residential boundary of interiors. Most decorators' work individually and without a contract. Furniture mark-ups and hourly fees vary widely among decorators.
An interior designer has the necessary education, experience and is often affiliated with professional organizations such as ASID. They are knowledgeable in building codes, building departments and licensed contractors. Interior designers can complete residential and commercial projects from start to finish, read architectural plans and prepare construction documents for subcontractors. Generally a contract or letter of agreement is standard and spells out the projected fees and the specific services they will provide for a project.
When to hire an interior designer vs. an architect?
In most cases an interior designer will concentrate on the internal configuration and decoration of your home. Any external additions such as loft conversion or a side extension usually require the expertise of an architect. Urbane Design can advise you on the required services for your project!
What is the cost and what do I get for my money?
We base our expertise on an hourly fee as most skilled professionals do; an invoice lists everything achieved during an appointment. An hour may be spent either in consultation with the client, designing the project, ordering items the client has agreed to, one-way driving and supervising any construction as well as the final installation of the project. An hour of design time is agreed upon before it is charged; there are no surprises when the invoice is issued. A client will also receive substantial savings off retail pricing and access to trade only stores.
What if I do not want all new furniture, but want a new look?
We welcome projects of all sizes and budgets! Our specialty is reviving interior spaces! Many clients want to keep heirloom pieces or simply reupholster a perfectly functional piece of furniture in a new fabric. We will guide you in space planning to change the focal point in your rooms to showcase your most dramatic piece, or alter the wall and trim colors for a fresher, brighter ambiance. It is possible to get a new look with items you already have. We are full of creative ideas and have the ability to give you the look you desire!
What if I am a DIY-er and just need a little help getting started?
We are enthusiastically prepared to assist you in any way on an hourly consultation fee. We have been in the design industry long enough to have established many resource lists for any sub-contracting task you may require.
What if my spouse and I have completely different tastes?
This is expected and there are many ways we can assist you both in creating a look that either blends the two styles for an overall subtle, coordinated and professional result or design multiple areas using one preference as the dominating style depending on the function of the room (i.e. a gentleman's room or game room may reflect one partner's taste, while the master bedroom may sway more with the other partner's taste).
How long does the design process take?
Typically a project includes an extensive interview of your wishes, needs, design style and budget. Follow up visits are necessary to space plan, customize furniture, fabrics and trim, create any window treatments and bedding, etc. Custom furniture may take 12-16 weeks from the order date. Once a design job is assessed an estimated time line will be given to the client.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
Yes we do, as the initial consultation is extremely productive and informative. During the initial consultation we will discuss design goals, needs and budget. An in-home visit is needed to accurately develop a design direction for the project.
We do understand that some clients may wish to interview a multitude of designers when working on large design projects. With this in mind, we do offer a free of charge "meet and greet" at our conveniently located Northwest Austin office so we can get to know one another before moving forward with the initial in-home consultation.
When is payment for interior design service due?
For in-home consultations payment is due at the end of the design consultation. Larger design projects will require a Design Agreement that will be electronically submitted shortly after the initial consultation. We are typically able to quote the number of hours that we expect to complete a design project and we will collect a retainer for half of the quoted amount of design time, said payment is due with the Design Agreement.
Is there a minimum?
Urbane Design can be retained at an hourly rate, though for convenience we have simplified the design process by creating affordable and time saving design packages, while still offering innovative design solutions targeting for your specific lifestyle needs. Customized design packages can be estimated on individual prerequisites. Initial in-home consultations for larger projects require a minimum of one hour. Specific charges can be referenced in our Design Agreement. Smaller projects and color consultations requiring an in-home consultations require a minimum of two hours.
Are gift certificates available?
They sure are! Gift certificates are available for purchase by the hour and are the perfect gift for newlyweds, new homeowners or just to show a friend or a loved one you care. Contact us today and give the gift of design to those who mean most to you.

Too many students don't know the terms of their loans and the fact that debt is limited to 7,300 per year (but you have to file taxes) and that the grace period is not graceful at all, but rather a very expensive 6 months of interest. The information is out there, but not easy to find and not clearly communicated to borrowers. It should be emailed out, not just hidden somewhere on a site that is different from the one where loans are administered during studies. Education is a necessity, and the huge loan burden on poor and lower middle class students is a drag on their life plans, which becomes a drag on the economy when young adults aren't out there spending money and planning for their futures.

Roman Breviary, Tobias 12: 6 (L)
Choral level of difficulty: 2 (5 greatest)
This is a very effective and beautiful short motet in a chorale-like style with divided sopranos and tenors adding richness to the texture. The text is a simple one of praise and the setting responds with a lovely linear feel but without any of the contrapuntal complexity which MacMillan often uses.
The simple challenges here are of textural balance and voice blend to achieve the richness of vocal sound the music demands.

Home Owner in Woodbridge
Hello, I need someone to house sit my home and to prepare meals for my 19 year old son. I need someone who can live in. This is a temporary position, about 10-12 days. I will pay very well to compensate the short notice and the short time. There really is not alot of work to be done, just to be "available" when my son comes home from school and to have a meal for him. Wake him up in the morning and get him off with breakfast and make his lunch. The rest of the day, there is not much to do just some light cleaning. Not a big house.

Catching Up Some
Posted on: Tuesday 03/21/2017 12:33:08
My apologies for being a bit scarce lately. There hasn't been a lot going on, really. I suppose the big thing has to do with my brother. Remember I posted that last weekend he went to the hospital to get a new kidney, but the deal fell through? Well, as per the usual, I talked to my mom on Saturday and found out he was back in the hospital on Wednesday for stroke symptoms again. It wasn't that so he wasn't admitted.
From what I was told, it sounds a lot like it was due to him playing, "I'm my own best doctor" with his meds again, particularly this one that is a heart med. True to his typical style, he was taken off of it about a year ago. Since he had not been taking it when he was supposed to, he had a bunch left. He is now taking them without doctor instructions because he swears they are the only thing that makes him sleep when he has insomnia. That is totally not what they are for. He is pissed that the doctors won't prescribe him more now.
When I talked to him on Sunday I didn't get the usual, "I didn't call because I didn't want to worry you". He told me he had those symptoms for each of the five days before Wednesday. That includes while he was in the hospital for the transplant prep. He didn't tell anyone but me that just then. He didn't speak up until it was frightening him enough that he called my sister to take him to the hospital. Everything else he told me was contradictory to what I had heard from my mom. Then I got his usual, "Those doctors don't know shit. When they say they practice medicine, that's exactly right. They practice on me." I have to now get the scoop from my sister, who knows him best at this point.
Otherwise, I didn't go to work today, as the depression had a strong hold on me. At my daughter's prodding, I did go to the grocery store tonight, and bought about 2/3 healthy stuff. I'm going to make the effort but, blah and yuck. I continue to have bizarre dreams nightly. My therapist says the meaning is not in what happens in them or who is in them. The meaning is in how and what the events make you feel. Then you have to figure out what in real life is making you have that feeling. This does not make it any easier.
I will get to see my son this weekend, as he is coming home for a wedding. I asked him if it was his wedding, and he didn't think that was funny. Finally, I have been talking to another nice, interesting lady on POF for about a week now. She seems really interested in me. Tomorrow I will ask her about meeting for coffee or something like that this weekend. If it goes the way these things have so far, we will meet, it will be what I think is nice, then she will disappear. I know, think positive.
lunamor Says:
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, and that your depression is getting to you :( /homepage
Fritz The Bootlegger Says:
Isn't there a possibility of him being removed from the transplant waiting list if he is self-medicating? They often don't let self-destructive people have new organs. Aside from Mickey Mantle of course, but come on, it's Mickey Freaking Mantle./homepage
Fritz The Bootlegger Says:
I don't think George Best ever even bothered with a liver transplant. I think he wanted to die with original equipment.
Fritz The Bootlegger Says:
Shit I stand corrected. He did have a liver transplant. And continued drinking.
knifeboy Says:
Steve, he has been smoking for years, and thinks they don't know. He refuses to believe that the nicotine shows up in his blood tests. That's partially why I was so surprised they were attempting to get a new sponge in him. Yeah, I think the self-medicating falls into the same category, and they do know now./homepage

Guest Post by Greg Ericson
But if anyone doubts that New York's media elite was aware of Lauer's reputation, they should look no further than a top-secret "roast" of Lauer that took place in October 2008. The notorious event ─ now legendary in New York media circles ─ pushed the outer limits of sexist, racist, homophobic and obscene jokes — and left little doubt that Lauer's colleagues knew NBC's biggest star had a troubled marriage and a wandering eye. Lauer's peccadillos, Joe Scarborough said, were not just known about. At the roast, they were celebrated.
"The whole theme was that he does the show and then he has sex with people, with employees," Scarborough said. "So was this whispered behind closed doors? No. It was shouted from the mountaintops and everybody laughed about it." The 2008 Friars Club roast took place at the New York Hilton and was attended by everyone from future President Donald Trump to TV legend Norman Lear to a constellation of New York's media elite including Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Nancy O'Dell and Howard Stern. Also on hand were numerous top executives from across the business and almost everyone who was anyone at NBC News. Fox News has confirmed many details of the roast with a media executive who attended, and has also drawn on the one contemporaneous account of the roast, which appeared in The Village Voice.
Speaker Martha Stewart joked, "I hear NBC executives call Matt the 'Cock of the Rock'," according to The Voice. Another of the roast's speakers was current CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker ─ then the chairman of NBC Universal ─ who last week adamantly denied that he had any idea about Lauer's in-office sexcapades. "It's just good to see Matt up here and not under my desk," Zucker said from the podium. "I don't want to say Matt is a germophobe, but he's the only guy I know who uses Purell both before and after he masturbates." Zucker also made a pointed allusion to Lauer's marital problems. "Matt was having some trouble at home with the wife," he said. "He was sleeping on Bryant Gumbel's couch."
Lauer and Gumbel, a former "Today" host who is black, are known to be close friends. "What's more boring than that?" Zucker joked. "Two white men watching golf." "Today" co-host Al Roker was the "roastmaster" and Tom Cruise (who had famously feuded with Lauer on air over Scientology) made peace with a surprise appearance as a guest roaster. But while Cruise kept it relatively PG-13, once he finished, jokes focused on Lauer's in-office sexcapades.
Then "Today" co-host Meredith Vieira was especially crude, making jokes about Lauer and Roker partaking in anal sex during the Turin Olympics, with Roker as the receiving partner. Former "Today" star Katie Couric went next, reading a David Letterman-style Top 10 list of facts about Lauer.
Among the digs, "No. 10 – According to his wife, he's not really an early riser, if you know what I mean."
But the most cringe-worthy comments, in hindsight, were made by Lauer himself, who spoke at the end of the roast. The "Today" star alluded to sex with two former colleagues, Couric and Curry. "Let me just say that I saw that colon a lot before the rest of you saw it," Lauer said in an anal sex joke about Couric (who famously underwent a colonoscopy on air). But the twice-married Lauer wasn't finished joking about sleeping with female contemporaries. "What's with all the small-d— jokes?
It was fun to look over and see Ann Curry laughing… like she doesn't know how big my d— really is," Lauer said, wrapping up an event that The Village Voice called "three hours of d— jokes." The Voice, which had managed to have a spy secretly write "down the dirtiest jokes on a notepad under the table," was the only publication to write anything about the top-secret roast, despite the fact that the room was filled with media luminaries. Cameras and recorders were strictly banned — and this was before iPhones and their audio recorders had become ubiquitous.
Memories of the roast must be especially awkward for the various NBC executives now claiming they had no idea about Lauer's reputation for sex harassment of women. "This was a comedic roast, but there was clearly a vein of truth running through all those jokes," said a media executive who was in attendance. "You had Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira and Jeff Zucker all standing up there joking about his sex in the office, his kinkiness. They all knew." NBC News fired Lauer last week for inappropriate sexual behavior, and in the ensuing days, NBC News' top bosses Andy Lack and his deputy, Noah Oppenheim, have claimed they had no prior knowledge of Lauer's conduct.
Their denials have raised eyebrows within NBC and out, considering that both executive have deep ties to Lauer going back years. Lack and Oppenheim are so far resisting appointing an outside, independent investigator to look into who knew what about Lauer's behavior, preferring to control the inquiry themselves. The New York Post speculated over the weekend that Lack is seeking to blame Oppenheim for the debacle. Oppenheim himself told NBC staff that following his "review," anyone still working at NBC found to have known about Lauer's behavior and not done anything would be punished "in the most severe way possible." But a shot at Lauer's in-office relationship with Curry, who was in the room, got the biggest laugh of Couric's routine. "No. 2 – He loves to eat Curry," she said as Curry (sitting in the audience) went pale and the crowd roared with laughter. "What? Indian food! What's wrong with you people?" Comic Bob Saget eventually took the stage to offer Lauer some marriage advice:
"Do what I'm doing, Matt. Come into the Dark Side. My next wife hasn't even been born yet."
Another comedian ─ one attendee believes it was comedian Jeff Ross ─ made racist jokes about Lauer using a naked Roker on all fours as his coffee table. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried was so obscene that Fox News can't even publish a highly expurgated version of his material, but part of his racist routine – filled with Asian sex jokes about Ann Curry –included detailed remarks about Curry's genitals.
Just got back from the Hilton in midtown after three hours of dick and pussy jokes from some of the biggest stars of TV and film. Over plates of rubbery chicken, with Howard Stern in the audience, with Aretha Franklin doing the most amazing rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner ever (and while playing the piano herself), and with Abe Vigoda sitting on the dais and managing to stay somewhat alive, the afternoon's Friar's Roast did not disappoint. Cameras and recording devices were not allowed, but we managed to write down the dirtiest jokes on a notepad under the table.
Without further ado: Lauer's Today buddy Al Roker was "roastmaster" (ask your parents), but before he could even get warmed up, Tom Cruise made his "surprise" entrance (which was such a surprise, it had been broken on the Internet hours earlier). Cruise was brilliant casting, because the rollercoaster he's been on the past few years over his space-alien-worshipping religion started over two big events — the way he jumped all over Oprah's couch expressing his love for new babe Katie Holmes, and for a confrontational interview he did in 2005 with journalistic cupcake Lauer.
The Lauer interview in particular made Cruise not only appear unhinged, but it also made him look like a bully for the way he criticized Brooke Shields for turning to medication to deal with post-partum depression. (Those wacky Scientologists believe the best way to treat all maladies, particularly those of the mind, is with maximum adoration of 30's pulp fiction author, L. Ron Hubbard.) But today, Cruise was not only a good sport for showing up to roast Lauer, he really killed. Guy was hilarious and self-deprecating. He joked about how he and Lauer were actually best buddies and went everywhere together, how they pranked Willard Scott, and how they talked on the phone four times a day (and he had slides to go with it).
"Matt has also given me some great advice," Cruise said. Things in 2005 were going great, Cruise went on. He'd just made a movie with Spielberg, and he was going to go on Oprah's show. Matt, he said, asked him what he was going to talk about. When he said he was going to talk about the movie, Matt made an "angry sigh," Tom said. "Tom, don't be glib," Cruise said, imitating Laeur, "You're in love. Go crazy. Trust me, people will love you for it." Tom then explained that Lauer also gave advice to Jeff Zucker (the NBC Universal CEO who was also sitting on the dais) to dump Leno, and Lauer also ran into OJ Simpson on the golf course and gave himadvice as well. "Juice. Look, if those guys got your shit in Vegas… don't be a pussy, just go up to that hotel now and take it. Trust me, Juice, people will love you for it," Cruise said as Lauer, and got big laughs. Cruise then said that his life is "going from international movie sets to amazing parties. And then from amazing parties to international movie sets.
But Matt, you found happiness doing the same thing every day." The diminutive movie idol then turned to leave, and Lauer jumped to the microphone: "Can you stay? We can get you a booster seat." Al Roker couldn't help adding his own Cruise jab: "Tom can't stay because the space ship has to leave soon." Cue the knowing oohs and laughter from the audience. Tom, you were lovable but we all know you belong to the wackiest of sci-fi religions. Roker then threw out an observation that got another groan, pointing out two of the celebrities on the football-field-long dais. "Who looks more like a man, Clay Aiken or Dara Torres?" Ouch! "There are three things Matt and Sarah Palin have in common," Roker continued. "They each spent $150,000 on clothes in a single season.
They were both screwed over by Katie Couric. And both wear women's jeans." Roker then introduced Martha Stewart, who looked pretty out of place at a Friar's Roast. The closest she could get to raunch was saying that "I hear NBC executives call Matt the 'Cock of the Rock.'" If she was tepid, Meredith Viera more than made up for it. Lauer's Today costar started right in with, "That motherfucker Matt Lauer," and got a big laugh. "I am amazed that I have time for this stupidity," she said, pointing out that she does the Today show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, has three kids and a husband, and that's a lot of balls to juggle. "Look at Katie Couric.
She juggled Matt's balls for six years. That's three years per ball." (At this point, the spectacle of a TV personality doing this kind of material had the room of 1,900 rolling.) "She squeezed those suckers so tight, she left nothing for me. Thanks, Katie," Viera said, but she was just getting warmed up.
"People say he's so prim and proper, like he's got a stick up his ass. It's not a stick, my friends, it's Al Roker's dick." After showing some slides from Beijing, with Lauer and Roker prancing in tights, she added: "Let' just say Al puts the 'meat' in 'meteorologist." "I don't know if you knew this about him, but Matt is a lefty," she continued. "Which is precisely why NBC hired him." (Oh, the McCain camp is going to love that one.)
"Let's focus on Matt's numerous achievements in journalism," she said with the briefest of pauses. "OK, that's done." She then congratulated him, and said, "I'll see you Monday, asshole." Katie Couric was next. "I haven't heard this much applause since CBS executives heard I was leaving," she cracked. "There are 1900 people here, which is about the biggest audience I've had since I moved to CBS." Also: "Al Roker, Obama's second favorite weatherman after Bill Ayers." And: "It's great that one of Barack Obama's political advisers could make it here today. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Williams." And as for Sarah Palin's $150,000 on clothes?
"In Eliot Spitzer dollars that's three hookers and a pony." On that Cruise interview, and why it pained Lauer: "He wanted to be the only good-looking man in the room everyone thinks is gay." She then did a Letterman-style Top Ten Things About Matt which were fairly funny. Some highlights: "10. According to his wife, he's not really an early riser, if you know what I mean." 7. When Katie did the colonoscopy live on television, doctors found Matt's head. And the best: "2. He loves to eat Curry." The room loved that one, and Ann Curry blanched. Great moment. "What, Indian food! What's wrong with you people!"
Katie said. Couric was followed by Zucker, who got off a few zingers of his own. He reminisced about Bryant Gumbel leaving the Today show. "There was the time Matt stayed for a while at Bryant's house. That must have been exciting. Two white guys talking golf." And: "It's just good to see Matt up here and not under my desk." And: "I don't want to say Matt is a germophobe, but he's the only guy I know who uses Purell both before and after he masturbates." The inimitable Richard Belzer then followed Zucker, and as is his trademark, abused the audience as much as he told jokes. And the best moment came when he tried to tell his final joke and kept screwing it up.
"It's not all fluff and fluffing," he said about Lauer's lightweight reputation. Lauer had also done serious reporting, he continued. "Who could forget the time when he tracked down the exact membership…" And that was the wrong word. So he started the joke over again. Five times. Finally, he dragged Lauer himself up to deliver the punch line: "Who could forget the time when he tracked down the exact measurement of Ann Coulter's dick," Lauer said to a roar from the audience. Another great moment. Comedian Jeffrey Ross was on next, and didn't disappoint.
"I've never been to a show where the fat lady sings at the beginning," he said. And Aretha Franklin returned the favor with her middle finger. Ross on Jeff Zucker: "How do you make fun of a guy who looks like his penis?" And, to groans: "I haven't laughed this little since we roasted Terry Schiavo." NBC anchor Brian Williams then approached the microphone after being called up by Roker — how would he do after a killer like Ross? "Thanks, Al. It was great to see you this morning in spandex, as it's always great to see your vagina," Williams said. About Lauer: "I often say, a lot of the clothing you see him wear on the Today show is also available for men."
On the economy: "It's so complicated! We just say 'it's a crisis.'" On Zucker: "He's doubled our stock. You can now buy two shares where before you could only buy one." Williams was followed by a guy who had won some kind of roasting contest. He had one good line: "We all know Joe the Plumber, and Joe Six-Pack. Well, now we know Joe Blow. Ladies and gentlemen, Clay Aiken." Bob Saget was next, and he noted that, like Lauer, he's 52. But Lauer is married and Saget is divorced: "Do what I'm doing, Matt. Come into the Dark Side. My next wife hasn't even been born yet. Saget then went for the raunch. "People say if I could blow myself, I wouldn't leave the house.
But if I could blow myself, I would leave the house. I'd want people to see that shit." But for pure raunch, Saget was outdone by Gilbert Gottfried. He had recently given Today's Asian-American co-host Ann Curry some lessons in stand-up comedy. "People ask me, does Ann Curry's pussy go sideways?" Gilbert said to gasps. But he was just getting warmed up. Curry was dying as he started a joke, "Ann Curry told me this one. Two sisters.
One sister is eating out the other sister's asshole." Curry is dying. "The first sister is eating out the second sister's asshole, and the second sister is playing the trombone with her pussy…" Believe me, the best part of that joke had already been told by that point.
He finished with: "How do you get a faggot to fuck a woman? Fill up her cunt with shit. Thank you." Lauer finally, after a brief appearance by Pat Cooper, got his turn. "Oh my God. I almost invited my mother." He then pointed out that at NBC they had obituaries completed and ready to roll on 11 of the people on the dais. And as for a December interview he has scheduled with Cruise and what happened the last time: "He pulls that shit again, I will fuck him up."
On the Friars: "They guaranteed me that nothing I said would be seen or heard, so I feel like I'm anchoring the CBS news." As for rumors of romance with Katie: "Let me just say that I saw that colon a lot before the rest of you saw it." And: "What's with all the small-dick jokes? It was fun to look over and see Ann Curry laughing… like she doesn't know how big my dick really is." And finally: "As hard as I may try, I will never forget this afternoon."

Prior Park Fencing Duo 'Advance' in Poland
At a three day international two students from Prior Park Prep School, near Swindon placed well in a field of 209 competitors from 150 countries, both achieving incredible results.
The competition which saw 600 fencers per day compete in 200 events an annual elite competition, 'Challenge Wratislava' which is hosted in Wroclaw, Poland. There, children of all ages compete in the disciplines of foil, epee and sabre, over three days. The target foil is the chest, epee is the whole body and sabre is the top half of the body only.
Prior Park Pupil Ed succeeded in placing in the top 10 for épée, within a field of 209 competitors, losing only by one hit in the last 16.
Charlie also from Prior Park Prep School battled well in épée and came up against a fellow Brit in the last 64, losing 7-5 to finish 44th.
In foils Ed achieved a position of 36th despite a bout of ill health with Charlie Robbins finishing in a respectable 121st place of 260. This was a particularly strong performance given that Charlie drew the 3rd seed and was one point behind with 15 seconds remaining.
Swindon Fencing Coach Neil Bromley said:
'Charlie was outstanding he truly went out on his shield!'
The pair have previously represented England in the U13 age category for foil and epee, and Swindon Fencing Coach Neil Bromley hopes to see more young people from Prior Park 'Advance' to international competition saying:
'We have Prior Park Prep School fencers who could hold their own out there and I would love to see some out there in future if possible'.Swindon Fencing Coach Neil Bromley

If you're not an experienced house buyer or seller, the closing process can be tricky, complicated and seem overwhelming. With all of the potential steps involved, it can be hard to know what to expect.
Whether you're buying a home or selling one, we hope this information helps you feel a bit more prepared and secure on closing day!
Before the closing date, you'll want to schedule your pre-closing visit of your new home. This visit will allow you to do one final inspection of the house, so you know that there haven't been any changes to its condition since you signed your offer.
When you buy a house, your real estate lawyer will receive a statement from the home sellers listing any adjusted costs. These costs are often associated with prepaid expenses, like property taxes or any utilities they have paid for upfront. You'll have to reimburse them for anything they've paid for on the property after the closing date, and it can add up to 0.5% more to your final cost. You should also be aware of Land Transfer Tax, which every homebuyer must pay. This is calculated on a sliding scale, but can add significant cost if homebuyers aren't expecting it. On a $500,000 house, you could expect to pay $6,500 in Land Transfer Tax.
Ask your lawyer to purchase title insurance for your new home. In the event that anyone tries to claim ownership of the property or there are any land survey issues, you'll be covered. You will also need to talk to your lawyer about how you are taking title to the property. Joint tenants, for example, means if one of you passes away, the other person becomes the owner. Tenants in common, on the other hand, means you can pass your property to a beneficiary through your will.
If you pay less than 20 per cent down on your mortgage, your bank will deduct certain costs like mortgage insurance, appraisal fees and HST. Make sure you know early on what these deductions include and how much they total, and give your mortgage lender proof of income or a down payment so there are no delays. To close the deal, you have to deliver the balance to your lawyer to close the deal at least 2 days before the closing date.
Keep in mind that before you move into your new home, the old owner has to move out. Try to plan to move into your new home in the late afternoon to give the previous owner plenty of time to move out. For condos, make sure you have the use of the elevator. You'll also need to take care of your utilities. It's the buyer's responsibility to make sure all of the utilities for the house are under their name as of the closing date, and it's a good idea to get your meters read on the closing day so you only pay for utilities after you have moved in. Ask your cable, telephone and other utility providers to come to your house immediately after closing.
When you bought your house, you should have received a deed, mortgage, survey and other important documents from your lawyer. You will need to return these, as well as current property tax bills, to your lawyer when you sell your home.
Never cancel your house insurance before your sale has closed. Always wait until you have heard that the deal has closed and the sale has gone through. You will also need to notify your house insurance company that your house will be vacant if you plan on moving out more than 30 days before the closing day.
You will need to meet with your lawyer to sign paperwork a few days before closing. You'll also need to inform them of any utilities or property taxes you have paid for upfront, so you can be reimbursed by the new homeowner. Give one set of house keys to your lawyer so they can pass it onto the buyer's lawyer at closing.
Like the home buyer, the home seller should also make sure to read any utility meters before they move, to make sure you only pay for what you used. You will also need to inform your cable and telephone provider that you will be disconnecting your service. Homes that are heated with an oil tank require the seller to make sure it's filled on closing day.
If you've pre-authorized or post-dated cheques at your bank for any costs relating to your home, make sure you cancel them so you're not paying for anything after closing. On the day of closing, we have no control over what time the change in ownership actually occurs. It's best to plan on being out as early as you can. However, at the same time, the closing on your new home may not happen until nearer the end of the day. Just plan carefully.
Are you a first-time homebuyer, new to the process? Buying your first home can be intimidating! Make sure you're prepared for buying your first home with these tips from Lifestyle Real Estate in Guelph

Low levels of the hormone vasopressin have been linked to social deficits in autism, raising the possibility of a treatment for diagnosed children, found a new study from Stanford University School of Medicine.
In a study of 159 children, 57 of whom had autism, researchers found that autistic children who had the lowest vasopressin levels in their blood also had the greatest social impairment.
"What's compelling from this study is that if vasopressin levels track this social behavior, it might suggest that kids who have the greatest impairments in these levels might benefit the most from vasopressin treatments," senior study author Karen Parker, an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, told FoxNews.com.
Vasopressin, a small-protein hormone, is structurally similar to oxytocin and plays a role in social behavior. Researchers studied the "theory of mind" trait, the understanding that people's intentions, feelings and goals are separate from one's own Children with typical development understand this idea sometime between ages 6 through 8.
In their study researchers first measured cerebrospinal fluid to determine whether vasopressin levels in the blood reflected the hormone's levels in the brain.
"Autism is a brain disorder," Parker said. "If we're thinking about what we call the biomarkers of disease, ideally we want to take it as close to the origin of disease as possible."
Because retrieving cerebrospinal fluid typically requires general anesthesia and a lumbar puncture, the team connected with the pediatric clinic at Stanford and collected samples from patients who were having fluid collected for medical reasons.
The 28 sets of samples they collected confirmed that vasopressin is released into the brain and blood, a finding that was a critical step for researchers to move forward to the second study, Parker said.
For the second study, researchers recruited 159 children ages 3 through 12. Of the group, 57 had autism, 47 did not have autism but had a sibling who did, and 55 were children with typical development and no autistic siblings. All children were given standard psychiatric assessments, including measuring their social responsiveness, and had blood samples taken.
In those children with autism, researchers found a strong positive relationship between the level of vasopressin in blood and the child's performance on the tested social task. Children with autism who had the lowest vasopressin levels also had the largest social impairments. In the non-autism group, low vasopressin levels were not related to displaying social impairment— meaning autism can't be explained by vasopressin deficit alone.
"Whenever we do studies in this range of children that have such profound differences in functioning, the idea that even in this range of kids that we could still see this relationship, to me, was pretty powerful. It suggests it's robust," Parker said.
The basic biology of autism is poorly understood— unlike many other disorders, there is no biology-based diagnostic test that can lead to treatment with specifically developed medications, Parker said.
A phase 2 clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) underway at Stanford is analyzing the safety and effectiveness of vasopressin treatment for children with autism.
Because the range of abilities in children with autism varies, neuroscientists like Parker hope that identifying a biological sign may identify different subtypes of autism, and therefore who responds best to different drugs.
"Autism is very heterogeneous— it's very complicated," she said. "One of the things we're really hopeful in doing these studies is asking, 'Can we streamline this complexity of disorders by understanding the biological substrates that may vary across kids?'"
Parker noted that they may find that vasopressin globally helps most autistic children because it raises social functioning and thus, that a deficit is not necessary. Another possibility is that only children with a vasopressin deficit respond, or perhaps maximally respond, to treatment, she said.
"Our hope is to eventually give a biological profile to these kids and ask which in the arsenal are the therapies, the drugs, that would be the most beneficial for the child," she said.
Researchers expect to have preliminary data from the ongoing trial this year.
One goal of the group's newly published findings is to raise awareness of their treatment trial with the aim to quickly enroll patients into their latest trial.
"The faster we enroll patients, the faster we can get data. It is going to be a game-changer," she said. "It's exciting to feel as a group of scientists that we're starting to understand the biology of a disorder that for so many years we've known so little about."
The study was published Wednesday in PLOS ONE.

Jesus said,
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:34-40
Much of the ministry of Jesus was spent ministering to the hurting people of His day. Today, He calls upon the church, His body, to continue His ministry to those who need it most. We see ourselves as an extension of His ministry showing compassion to those who need to experience the love of Christ.

Apple's fiscal third quarter results were a mixed bag: iPhone sales dazzled, while iPad sales fizzled. Apple's third-quarter profit dropped 22 percent year-over-year, but that was in line with what Wall Street analysts expected.
In Apple's third-quarter earnings call Tuesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook deflected several loaded questions from analysts about challenges to Apple's business, characterizing them as mere bumps in the road on the way to continued success.
Following are five tough questions Cook faced during Apple's third-quarter earnings call.
[Related: Apple Confirms That Its Developer Site Was Hacked ]
1. Has the high-end smartphone market already peaked?
Apple's iPhone sales were a huge bright spot. It sold 31.2 million iPhones during the third quarter, while Wall Street analysts were expecting around 26.5 million.
Yet despite this success, there are concerns that the high-end smartphone segment is saturated. Persistent rumors about Apple rolling out a low-end iPhone suggest the company is reacting to the need for products in this segment.
Asked to comment on this, Cook instead talked about Apple's opportunities in distribution. These include carrier relations, expanding its retail and online stores, and expanding its indirect channels, Cook said.
"Our key catalyst always will be new products and services, both existing categories and new ones," Cook said.
Apple also has a market expansion opportunity in the enterprise, Cook said.
"We are at the very front end of that," Cook said. "I think we have lots of growth opportunities. I don't subscribe to the common wisdom that the high-end smartphone market has hit its peak."
2. Why are iPad sales slowing down?
Apple sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, well short of Wall Street's expectation of 18 million.
iPad sales declined by 2.4 million units during the quarter compared to last year. But, 80 percent of that, or 1.9 million units, was due to channel inventory changes, Cook said.
Apple reduced iPad inventory by over 700,000 units during the quarter. In last year's quarter, Apple saw an increase of 1.2 million iPad units, because that was the first full quarter after the launch of the third-generation iPad, Cook said.
So when all of these factors are accounted for, iPad sales actually only dropped 3 percent during the quarter, Cook said.
"We hit within the midpoint of the range we expected on iPad unit sales. It was not a surprise to us," Cook said.
NEXT: Questions about Apple's business in China and Russia
3. What's up with Apple's business in China?
Apple's sales in Greater China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, dropped 14 percent year-over-year and 43 percent compared to last quarter.
The decline was unexpected, so Apple's Cook tried to focus on the positives.
Apple continues to attract tons of developers in China, said Cook, who estimated that 500,000 developers in China are now building iOS apps, up 70 percent from this time last year.
Apple is also planning to double its number of retail stores in China in the next couple of years.
"China is a huge opportunity for Apple," Cook said. "I don't get discouraged over [the results of] a 90-day cycle."
But despite long running rumors, Apple hasn't yet landed the biggest fish of all: China Mobile, with its more than 735 million subscribers.
4. Why are Russian carriers dumping iPhone?
Several Russian carriers have either stopped selling the iPhone or have decided not to renew their contracts in the past year, reportedly because they're unhappy with Apple's conditions.
Cook downplayed the notion of Russian carriers staging a mass revolt against Apple, however.
In the Russian market, some 80 percent of smartphones are sold at retail, outside carrier stores, he said.
"In fact, our activations for iPhones in Russia set a record last quarter," Cook said on the call, characterizing Apple as being "happy" with how this is turning out.
While Apple does sell iPhones through carrier stores in Russia, it sells more iPhones through its resellers in that country, according to Cook.
"We are continually looking for other relationships, and to enhance the ones we've got," Cook said.
5. Why is the average sales price (ASP) of iPhone dropping?
The iPhone's average sales price (ASP) was $581 per unit in Apple's third quarter, compared to $614 in the second quarter and $641 in the first quarter.
That's a concern for investors, and Cook was asked to comment on the trend during the Q&A.
Cook basically said this is happening because the iPhone 4 is such a good product.
"We saw significant growth in the lower price point [iPhone 4] year-over-year," Cook said. "That was one of the things that allowed us to significantly beat expectations for iPhone sales."

Energy management and efficiency is not just for big companies, small businesses can also achieve big savings. According to the US Department of Energy, small buildings account for almost half of the overall energy use and have the potential to save approximately USD 30 billion annually.
Since energy, environmental and operational savings are so great, it is no longer a question of whether a business can afford to upgrade, but whether it can afford not to.
Liam McLaughlin, principal author of the new ISO/ITC/UNIDO handbook ISO 50001 – A practical guide for SMEs, explains why tailored advice for SMEs will help them cut costs, be less impacted by future variations in energy prices, and make their business more sustainable long term.
This handbook complements the already popular collection that includes ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 22000 for SMEs.
So, what are some of the energy challenges SMEs face today? Are there any misconceptions?
Liam McLaughlin: With pressures on to remain competitive and reduce costs, SMEs – like most companies – are looking for ways to become leaner and meaner with their energy use.
Here's the thing. SMEs may think that energy management and energy efficiency are for big businesses with lots of extra resources/money to invest, as well as the technical know-how to reduce energy cost. This, however, is not the case. In reality, few organizations "naturally" have the necessary technical expertise in that area.
What's more, it is often easier for SMEs to implement these principles than larger organizations. This is because a small business usually has fewer layers of management, and therefore less bureaucracy, making it simpler and faster to make changes and improvements.
Why is targeted advice for SMEs important?
It is important for SMEs to realize the potential of energy savings and other benefits. They frequently do not know where or how to begin, often steered by advice rather than by the best financial return in terms of cost and benefit. This is where targeted advice enables them to develop a better understanding of where energy is being used in the organization and how savings can be made.
Any tips to SMEs?
There are plenty, but I will focus my advice on two areas: management and technical.
Management ideas:
- Be open to changes in work practices.
- Get support from top management.
- Assign clear roles and responsibilities for those involved.
Technical ideas:
- Understand where and why you use energy.
- Understand how your energy consumption varies. Does it vary from day to day or week to week? Why? Or, more importantly, why not?
- Measure and work out your baseload. This means understanding why you use energy when there is little or no activity in your company, i.e. at night or at weekends or during periods of no production. This can be measured by taking manual readings of your electricity and fuel meters.
- Keep metrics and reports as simple as possible.
The new handbook ISO 50001 – A practical Guide for SMEs has been designed to be used alongside ISO 50001 and provides concrete examples of how to plan and implement energy efficiency measures, often without the need for investment in new technology or systems.
The handbook can be purchased from your ISO member and through the ISO Store.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will be moving into film-making, along with adding books to its game development and publishing business.
It is likely to be a new title as opposed to previously released Ubisoft games -- which include the Tom Clancy series, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and Far Cry -- because Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot believes it is key to make the two products at the same time. He commented, "The goal will not be to do the book of the game but the book will be a product in itself that will give you more background and will make you feel more immersed."
The executive explained the reasoning behind the decision as, "We will start making movies not because we want to, but because this is what we have to do. If we don't we will not be able to take advantage of the next generation." He also commented that releasing a range of different entertainment products based on the same IP would be a good thing from a marketing point of view as well.

On time - of course, we are in Denmark - the Queen appeared on the central balcony (no incidents with the doors so the earlier checks were worth it).
So after coming back a few times on this insanely small balcony with the Queen's grand-children squashed on the railings it was time for Margrethe and her son Prince Frederick and wife Mary to step on the carriage and salute her citizens through Strøget the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe.
