At Long Last: Cookies
These cookies have been the hardest things to make. Pumpkin Cookies with Burnt Butter Icing. So yeay I wanted to make them right away! But I needed pumpkin. Should I wait for them to show up at the Farmer's Market. At the time of this dilemma, two weeks ago, they hadn't shown yet. And with the drought would there really be pumpkins? So I got a can at the store and then there they were also at the Farmer's Market. This is the problem with going to the store before the Farmer's Market. Here in these cookies is the local pumpkin. Then I had to find the time to roast the squash and make the cookies. Mr. Gnome gets special cookies for his birthday. So that took precedent. Then he brought home half of a giant chocolate cake and well that can't go to waste. Then it turned out we were out of brown sugar. Then we were out of confectioner sugar. Finally last night instead of putting the kid to bed we made cookies. They are quite yummy and probably worth all that trouble.

5 Brazil Players Looking to Impress New Head Coach Dunga vs. ColombiaSeptember 4, 2014
5 Brazil Players Looking to Impress New Head Coach Dunga vs. Colombia
Brazil face a tough task in getting back to winning ways post-World Cup failure when they face Colombia at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami this weekend.
The Selecao, of course, overcame their South American rivals in the quarter-final stage of that competition before slumping to ignominious defeats to both Germany and the Netherlands. Colombia would argue they were the better side.
Brazil have changed managers, with 2010 World Cup head coach Dunga returning and making multiple changes in his first squad selection, bringing in a group of players who missed out on the World Cup.
Who, then, will be looking to impress in this first opportunity?
Goalkeeper Jefferson has been a long-standing understudy for Brazil, and now, at the age of 31, he looks set to be handed his opportunity to stake a claim to become the new Selecao No. 1.
The Botafogo player is the senior man, with Napoli's Rafael Cabral as his understudy, and he is well respected within the setup, having captained the national team in the past. If Brazil needs leaders, they can count on Jefferson.
He may not be as spectacular a shot-stopper as some of his rivals, but Jefferson offers solidity in his all-round goalkeeping that many of Brazil's leading 'keepers lack. He is a pragmatic choice, but he must now prove that is enough when it comes to games at this level.
Maicon is a lucky man to retain his place following Brazil's World Cup exit, with his 33 years suggesting that he will not be around the setup too much longer.
Even more remarkable is that Dunga now looks set to start the Roma man this weekend, and therefore, it is on Maicon to justify the faith of the returning coach.
Maicon has been excellent since joining Roma last summer, but he has failed to really impress since returning to the Brazil squad. This may well be his final chance to impress with the likes of Danilo and Rafael waiting in the wings.
In a similar boat to Maicon, Ramires is another who has to perform this weekend to justify his continued involvement following a poor World Cup showing.
He has begun the season well at Chelsea, but there is a feeling that the former Cruzeiro player had been poor for both club and country for over a year. Dunga, though, is a fan of his work rate and energy.
The spotlight will be on, though, with Brazil fans keen to see better distribution in midfield areas than has been evident in recent years. Ramires is not that style of player, and it is only through good performances that he will win over those same fans.
Diego Tardelli
In a somewhat controversial call, it appears that Diego Tardelli is set to lead the line against Colombia despite a domestic season in which he has rarely hit top form for Atletico Mineiro.
Besides that, his recent exposure to the No. 9 position has been limited by the presence of Jo at club level—the same player he has replaced in the national team squad.
Brazil's striker woes are well known, and Tardelli is the latest in a long list of uninspiring names to be given a shot at a starting berth. He has two games this week to prove that he is better equipped than those rivals for the task at hand.
Ricardo Goulart
Top scorer in the Brasileirao thus far this season with nine goals in 14 games, Ricardo Goulart is set to hit double figures in the top flight for a second consecutive season since joining Cruzeiro.
A bundle of energy with no shortage of talent when it comes to creating and converting shooting opportunities, he has gone from impressive Serie B player to the fringes of the national side in a very short space of time.
He will likely provide back-up to Tardelli for the clash with Colombia and will hope to impress in any opportunity off the bench. If he can, then a starting spot against Ecuador could be his reward.

Grading Nebraska's 43-10 win: Good not great in first time out
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska coach Mike Riley earned his 100th career win Saturday night, and he did it in style, with a solid game plan in an impressive 43-10 win over Fresno State.
The Cornhuskers ran the ball right at Fresno State, and had plenty of success doing it to get the season off to a good start.
Here's how the grades break down for each group:
Offense (4.5 stars)
Nebraska wasn't very balanced on offense Saturday night, but the Huskers were efficient and successful. They threw the ball only 13 times but ran it 51 times for 292 yards, getting five touchdowns in five trips to the red zone, plus a perfectly executed long ball from QB Tommy Armstrong to WR Alonzo Moore.
There's not much to complain about offensively, especially when you score 43 points.
Defense (4 stars)
The Huskers held Fresno State to just 10 points, but at halftime they were on the ropes, leading just 14-10. At the half, Bulldogs quarterback Chason Virgil, a redshirt freshman, was 11-for-14 for 92 yards and a touchdown.
Those aren't crazy numbers, but Virgil was comfortable in the pocket and led a long drive down field to make it 14-10 at half. But in the second half, the Blackshirts turned it up. Four sacks, two by defensive end Ross Dzuris, and two interceptions are a sweet way to cap of the win.
Special teams (3.5 stars)
The numbers are lower mostly because I'm still confused why De'Mornay Pierson-El didn't return any punts Saturday night. There were plenty of opportunities, and not once was the junior trotted out there.
Also, freshman Caleb Lightbourn had a below-par day punting the ball, with a 29-yard average. That will surely go up. That mean nothing compared to the best play of the day, the first punt where the Huskers lined up with only 10 men, taking a moment to honor punter Sam Foltz, who died in a car accident in July. That play alone? 5-plus stars.
Coaching (5 stars)
Completely flipping the script and running the ball 51 times was a brilliant plan, because Fresno State had no answer for it. Nebraska ran nine different players and racked up almost 300 yards rushing.
Being their second year, this coaching staff knows their personnel much better than last year, and is starting to figure out how to use it best. There's no way the Huskers will keep a rush/pass ratio of 80 percent all year, but it sure worked well Saturday night.
Overall (4 stars)
A 33-point win feels like an 5-star effort, but it could have just as easily been 43 points. Overall, several small things could have turned into big problems against a better opponent. Two straight three-and-outs in the middle of the third quarter and a few sloppy penalties make this a 4-star game that could have easily been 5-star.

When my daughter was little we raised chickens. One day we made this book together.
Now I read it to my class when we learn about oviparous animals.
In 2007 she was 10 years old. Now she is 18 and starting college in the fall!
Olive had been asking and planning for chickens for a good year or two before we made the plunge.
She had devised a plan to keep them in her closet, but instead, we asked her to write up a proposal requesting materials and the cost, so her and her dad could build a coop… outside. We took a class on raising chickens too, through our local permaculture alliance: http://vpaaz.wildapricot.org/.
This is Jess. He was very protective over his brood and terrorized Olive's little brother who was 4 at the time. There is no experience quite like having a rooster stalk you in your own backyard. We were worried that our son would develop a life-long fear of chickens because of it, but he seems to have turned out okay despite this experience. Those articles you read about the evolutionary tie between birds and dinosaurs… they're true- roosters are related to the t-rex.
She painted Molly's toe nails for this picture. Olive loved all her chickens so much. They followed her everywhere.
We got all of the chickens are our local feed store in Phoenix when they were chicks. They say that they are 99% certain that they will all be hens.
Olive made the necklace for Chelsey in this picture.
Jess looks so sweet and cuddly in this picture. Olive could always hold him.
This is a picture of Olive climbing our Mesquite tree to get her chickens down and into their coop. At dusk, if they were out, they always flew up the tree as high as they could go. Thank goodness Olive is an amazing tree climber. She would climb up, all the way to the top of the tree if she needed, and back down with a chicken in her arms.
My monkey.
Olive and her dad built the coop on the backside of the club house. They made it to keep out all the desert animals: coyotes, hawks, and owls… even the rhinos. They dug down and put bricks under the walls to keep the coyotes from digging under and have chicken wire over all the plywood, above and around the walls.
Here it is under construction.
Once it was all built, it became a great place for the Easter Bunny to hide eggs.
On my school computer I have a video of the chickens. On it, Olive tells everything about her chickens and their coop. Showing how they follow her, how she holds them, all their body parts, what they eat and where they lay their eggs. I'll have to add the video to this post once school opens back up again. I love it so much because, each year when I show it, I get to see my kids when they were so little.
I really want to hatch eggs with my kindergarten kids, but haven't gotten it together enough to do it yet. There are always so many other things to do and learn about. This year we've adopted a new reading program that that will take up a lot of time and energy. Just need to do it one of these years, that seems to be the best way for me to get things done… the lessons pop up with the kids as we go and I end up making the time to collect and create teaching resources as they are needed. Our district actually supplies the incubator to do it, I ordered it one time, but never got it assembled or eggs ordered. Almost, but not quite.
When we had the chickens, Olive brought them into the classroom a few times and gave a presentation on them to the class. One year, she brought her chickens and her close friend brought her pet pig. I can't believe I didn't document the event. You'd have to see it to believe it. Not sure how I got away with it. At one point the pig was chasing the chickens around the room and they were knocking over puzzles and materials everywhere. It was a really exciting day for all my students (and the teacher).

I have read or I follow these SimLit websites. Please take the time to visit at least one. You won't regret what you find.
Stories by Jes2G
You will find many SimLit stories at this website. If you want a good start, I recommend reading The Pruett Family Legacy. It's inspired by The Legacy Challenge. You will find all 10 Generations and an after party. It's a long read (unless you binge read it), but it's well worth it.
Dust to Dust
This is a SimLit story inspired by The Ambrosia Challenge. It's about a young boy who meets a ghost and begins to fall in love with her. It's got romance, drama, and a little bit of humor.
Ashes to Ashes
A sequel (or spin-off) to the SimLit story Dust to Dust. Follow along with the Rosebrook family and enter the world of high-drama. This story is The Legacy Challenge inspired. Please note if you read this story, there will be swearing, depictions of alcohol/drug use, and sexual situations.
Heffner Legacy
Inspired by The Legacy Challenge and the Build Newcrest Legacy Challenge, this SimLit story contains a lot of suspense after Generation 1. You'll meet another side of Tony Corleonesi, the famous Sim who made his first appearance in Legacies of the Sims.
Princess Simcess
This SimLit writer has a few stories for reading. Currently I am reading Beauty and the Beast. She has her own special take on the fairytale for the sims. There's one other finished story and a The Legacy Challenge with a twist.
… Stay tuned, more SimLit stories to come!

Taylor Swift told ELLE: 'I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done.. To me it's just writing songs the way I always have. It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that's their right, but it's all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It's just something I do to feel better.
..Middle school was what made me semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn't fit in.. I'd stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That's when I started to understand there's this thing called rejection.
I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him, people love that angle on me. They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.' I never chase boys. They don't like it!'

Welcome back Dragons!
Last year was a fantastic year and this year we are looking forward to an even better one with tournaments planned for Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and even Yangon! As always, competition for places will be high but there will also be 'B' teams for those who are still developing. In SEASAC we are mainly a Division 1 school and we are also a FOBISIA 'A' League school with our teams competing against the strongest international schools from around the South East Asia Region.
For Secondary Dragons this year we will be doing online sign-ups for trials in one hit. That means that even if a sport starts mid-term i.e. softball, you will have to sign up for it now! The link for the online form is:
This link is also available on the Official Dragons Facebook group.
You will have to do a form for each sport you are trying out for. If you do not sign-up you will not be allowed to try-out for the team. Sign-ups close Friday 13th September.

Wow. It's finally here. For about the past year and a half, this is what has helped keep my sights set forward and my feet moving. I remember hanging up the "Sights of Italy" calendar my mom got me before moving back to Gustavus this Fall. A picture of the Piazza della Signoria in the center of Firenze looked me in the face every morning this past September. I'm in a surreal state of mind that after tomorrow everything will be very different for me.
Tomorrow, I take off to Europe. I'll start my trip by visiting my cousin and her family in Bielefeld, Germany, and spending a little time in Amsterdam with her. Then, on the 31st I fly to Florence, where I will be studying at Lorenzo de' Medici. I'll be taking Italian Language courses (doing my Italian roots proud), an Italian Crime Fiction course, and two different culinary classes, one on Mediterranean vegetarian cuisine and another on Italian nutrition and cooking.
Yeah, I still don't believe all of that either. I've wanted to run away to Italy to become a chef since I first heard Giada de Laurentiis pronounce rigatoni "ree-gah-TOH-neh". That was around the time I fell in love with food in general. Toss in an Italian family and memories of visiting our nonni's sausage factory, and I'm hooked to the idea. I promise, I'm not going to go too ham gushing over how cool I think food is on this blog (my roommate gets enough during random 1am outbursts). What I am going to say though, is that food is an art. It utilizes all of the five senses throughout the culinary process. Food is also the best way I know how to exhibit love. My mother's favorite artist, Brian Andreas, has a quotation that reads:
There are things you do because they feel right & they may make no sense & they may make no money & it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other & to eat each other's cooking & say it was good.
To love and to eat. Di amare e di mangiare. I'd say that's a fairly sound way to live.
Even writing all of this down right now, I find it difficult to imagine what tomorrow will be like. I feel like I'm about to finish letting out a two and a half year long breath, and that I am about to take another one. A new life's about to begin.
So, as you can probably tell by reading this, I have no idea where this blog is going. But, it's going to be here. I'm just putting it all out there, wanting to share, and also wanting to document. Thanks for taking the time to read – and feel free to comment. I'd love to hear back from some of you.
Also, let me know if I'm doing this whole blog thing right.

Vicky Brock's company, Clear Returns, which enables online retailers to boost profitability by reducing return rates, was a winner at IBM's Smartcamp, part of the IT giant's Global Entrepreneur Programme. Here she shares her top ten takeaways from the experience.I've always been a terribly 'difficult' shopper, but also felt that we could live our fast-paced urban lives more sustainably. As an entrepreneur, I've found that I can harness these contradictory characteristics in my latest start-up venture, Clear Returns.
I've been that demanding shopper, and on occasion, the 'customer from hell' in Britain's high streets. Despite having limited time to really hit the shops, I would be the one taking shoes back to the retailer or returning that box to the online store. I wanted the shoes to be a perfect fit; and I knew from commercial experience that things could be made better.
With all the choice in our lives now, we could make more targeted use of resources. My career, setting up an analytics program for HP and then starting my own research company years later, only confirmed my views. In my first graduate job, I showed my theatre owner employers that well-placed posters would work better than handing out flyers to random passers-by.
My new company Clear Returns uses predictive analytics to reduce returns and wasted effort and materials in shopping.
People in Britain talk of the death of the high street from rampant e-commerce but eye-wateringly high product return rates – up to 30-40% in fashion – badly affect virtual businesses' viability too.
Our company systems trawl through customer transaction data, taking real time feeds from different financial, warehouse and e-commerce systems to predict which products will be returned or see customer satisfaction issues. We spot the trends (or warning signs) earlier than traditional, often disjointed, business systems are able to do.
We have also developed a software tool that segments customers based on what they keep; retailers can find the valuable customers they are disappointing, but also costly 'wear and returners'. This gives retailers new options for satisfying those shoppers that disproportionately drain away retail profitability: restricting online choice or adjusting returns policies for them to reduce the business' financial losses.

Ten lessons learned from joining the business accelerator
Looking back on our connection with IBM's SmartCamp accelerator and the relationships that followed from it, we drew ten lessons from the experience:
1) External perception is everything
You may be scared, the product may not be finished, you may be full on in "fake it 'til you make it" mode – but this is the opportunity to get people to buy in to your vision, and that can open up the time and resources you need to accelerate execution.
It is very good for confidence and visibility to have a company like IBM endorse you. As a start-up, the lent credibility is priceless.
2) Pitch practice pays off
There is undeniably a performance component to pitch competitions. Practice is essential – treat it as your West End debut!
3) Graciousness and networking
Be humble, listen and connect – the exposure to the calibre of people in the room at something like SmartCamp is a special opportunity that you have to grasp.
4) You don't have to win, to win
The connections and opportunities are there for you to grasp – winning, while nice, is not essential. Maximising the opportunity is.
5) Be open to feedback – and be honest with yourself
A lot of people will tell you your baby is ugly. What they say matters. Take it on board, look for the common themes and assess whether your target market sees it the same way.
6) Get the strategy right, then execute the hell out of it
SmartCamp is an intense strategic planning session – allow yourself to take strategic input, then afterwards, on the back of the exposure, execute well and execute fast.
7) Filtering advice while avoiding conformation bias
This part is so tough: you'll get loads of contradictory advice and loads of feedback you don't really agree with.
You really have to avoid cherry-picking out only the bits of advice you like, as you're only deluding yourself.
8) Start the investment conversations long before you need money
Raising money takes ages, you can't wait until you need it – SmartCamp is a perfect place to talk with investors and successful entrepreneurs about their journeys. Then you can stay in touch.
9) Don't rule yourself out, go for it
Don't let self doubt stop you trying – stuff the 'imposter syndrome', just give it a go.
Even if you don't get selected, the process of focusing down on your application is good practice, and the more you try, the luckier you'll be.
10) Look beyond your own doorstep
We are based in Scotland and won SmartCamp over in Dublin; we went to the Berlin final and also won the Big Data Venture challenge in Rome. Don't limit yourself to what's on your doorstep.

The structure of legs: Ornately designed legs is the attractive feature of the Chesterfield sofa. Turned legs followed by bun feet with some fluted and casters are the most common. Square tapers make occasional look for the modern style. Chesterfield sofas legs height varies from 4 inches to 6 inches and comes in varieties of colour that suit best with the base of the sofa.
Washable sofa fabrics are an ideal choice for families with children or pets or for anyone who expects their sofa to be put to the test in terms of cleanliness. Sofa fabric that can be removed from the cushions and the foundation to be laundered in a regular home washing machine is often the best overall choice for those who can anticipate spots or odors finding their way into their sofa. These washable fabrics can be spot cleaned while on the couch when it is a simple spill or machine washed to take care of pet odors or to freshen the fabric after a few months of use. Washable microfiber sofas are particularly well-suited for families as they provide easy cleaning and a soft texture that is comfortable and cozy.

Dunkirk is ruling the IMAX screens in its current incarnation courtesy of Christopher Nolan, but the 1958 telling of the story is getting screening in a special event on the beaches of Camber Sands on September 20th and 21st, in a new 2K restoration.
This is being done to celebrate the achievement of the Dunkirk evacuation and the very particular British wartime spirit that saw us through, in the face of great adversity.
On the evenings of Wednesday 20th September and Thursday 21st September, STUDIOCANAL will present the premiere of a new restoration of Leslie Norman's classic wartime epic on the very beaches of Camber Sands where it was shot. The event is produced in association with The Luna Cinema and The Vintage Festival, and is part of the Britain On Film collection: Coast and Sea.
As well as the screening, event-goers will enjoy an evening of themed 1940s homegrown entertainment, including food and drink of the era, 1940s dance classes and set dressing, music and walkabout re-enactments. Gates will open at 5:30pm, and the screening will begin at 7.30pm.
The screening of Dunkirk will be preceded by archive short films, including a specially compiled montage of footage from the local coastal area at the time of the production by Screen Archive South East, and there will also be a special guest introduction.
This event has been made possible as part of a special programme of screenings and events taking place at coastal locations around the UK, staged supported by the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN), organisations with funds from the National Lottery, and lead by Film Hub Central East (Broadway Cinema Nottingham) to launch BFI's Britain on Film Coast and Sea collection.
Directed by Leslie Norman (The Long, The Short And The Tall), starring John Mills (Ice Cold In Alex, Goodbye Mr Chips, Great Expectations) Richard Attenborough (Brighton Rock, The Great Escape) and a cast featuring genuine army officers, DUNKIRK is one of the most authentic representations of conflict during World War II.
Dunkirk follows the dramatic events leading up to Operation Dynamo, where upon the British Army attempted to rescue fellow soldiers and allied troops from Nazi occupied France. Seen from the dual perspectives of a jaded journalist in search of propaganda and a weary soldier desperately trying to give his troop some hope, Dunkirk never shies away from the brutality of war and the bravery of its soldiers.
The new restoration of Dunkirk is released on Blu-ray, DVD and Amazon Prime, with brand new extras on September 25th, from Studiocanal as part of their Vintage Classics Collection – showcasing iconic British films, all fully restored and featuring brand new extra content.

The least expensive solution of the two, if you do not want to spend time and money on a big kitchen remodeling job, is refinishing kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinet refinishing is achieved by either painting or staining the cabinetry and cabinet doors. This is very inexpensive compared to cabinet replacement and can improve with dramatic effect the look of your kitchen. For the best results, a professional should paint or stain the cabinets. Great results can be achieved by a trained refinishing professional, inexpensively. However a DIY job is possible, if you have the time and tools you can easily refinish your own kitchen cabinets and save even more.
When you are working in your kitchen, you want to be able to enjoy the space. This means that it needs to be functional and offer space for storing pots, pans and food. You also need to know that the items you need are within reach and inside of cabinets that are roomy and functional. On top of all that, you also want your kitchen to look good. The kitchen cabinets that you have play a large role in how you view your kitchen, and how much you want to show it off. If your kitchen cabinets possess enough room to hold all of your necessities and function well but need a bit of a facelift, then you can turn to kitchen cabinet refacing to bring new life into your kitchen. Kitchen cabinet refacing is a pretty easy project that you can most likely do on your own. This is the perfect option for cabinets that just need a little work and for the family on a budget.

Writing an essay to start a new year…
| Âme qui entre dans le monde
All the images represented in today's blog are by Mr. Robert Laporte
But a day off on a Sunday is a day off on a Sunday so we made a party today. In the morning we took the carrots, our only real work of the day. I don't know how much; maybe 50 kilos. A lot of them were a bit spoiled from growing in too-wet earth for the summer. The work only took an hour and after that, we made a fire and dropped a couple of steaks on the grill. On the side we fried up some potatoes and carrots and boiled some small cabbage heads and ate like kings outside in the sunshine. For desert we had a couple of slices from the last remaining watermelon and that was that. It didn't really have a great party mood to it as it was only Tanya, Anya and I, but the food was very, very nice and making it was no particular burden. After that we picked a few stray apples, cleaned up and after swatting a few rotten carrots with my 55 degree Ram/Tom Watson sand wedge, we trudged off to the bus for a too-long ride home.
I think I better write and ask him about this. I might have missed something.

- Happy Birthday Sammy!!
Congratulations on your birthday and many happy returns. And also, thank you for producing such a fine and thoughtful blog for us all. The BEING HAD Times (http://bhtimes.blogspot.com) has been proud to have followed you.
- I know, that the answer anywhere - but all the same - it's very pleasant!
Thanks "robots" and organizers of blogs!
So ok, according to this, I am socially out of the loop as far as the capital goes. And what? It's true. What can I say? But why am I a robot?
I am probably taking this the wrong way and probably nothing was meant here or it was just lost in the translation. In any case, I am not going to lose too much sleep over this. And also I didn't write her back and ask what this meant because this was her birthday and picking a potential argument on someone's special day is not my style. But I need to find out more about this. In the meantime, please do check out her blog…err… live journal because for one thing, it is really good and for another, there are a lot of other Belarusian live journalers who write in who also have interesting things to say and to show. Not political! and maybe this is the best thing about it; just people living their lives in Minsk and taking the time, just like any other bloggers in any other country, to write a little something about it.
More soon…

Diversify, diversify, diversify.
That's principle number four. Successful investors don't "let it ride" and keep their bets on the same horse. They know that what goes up, comes down. And what goes around, comes around.
Take the most basic diversification of all—between bonds and stocks. Many long-term investors own 100% stocks, for the simple reason that this is the asset class that has the greatest growth potential. But if you add just a quarter of bonds to the mix, and consistently rebalance, your risk goes down by about half. That lower variance can be mighty comforting if you're gonna need the cash within the next five to ten years.
The same goes for holding individual stocks. While seeing a stock multiply in value is fun, it's more likely to wiggle and jiggle its way upward gradually. Better to own a portfolio that can cancel each other out. Then you're less likely to panic and sell out when times are temporarily tough.
The main idea in real estate is location, location, location. With investing, diversification is just as central.

Hot on the heels of M43 (see here) comes Samsung's hybrid system. Same basic idea: a smaller camera with a DSLR-sized sensor. In their case that's APS-C, which has 1.5x multiplication factor, as opposed to M43 which has a factor 2x.
My take: M43 cameras can theoretically be smaller, simply because the sensor is smaller. Samsung can theoretically obtain higher image quality because of the bigger sensor, or in any case cram in more megapixels (the article above suggests 14Mp, my guess is M43 cameras will get 10Mp).
All the same though: M43 cameras are likely to appear much sooner. Samsungs new system won't be out until 2010!
Samsung expects to "win" this battle and "dominate" the market. They'll however be late to the game so the chances of that are slim. What all of this does show is loads of camera manufacturers think this is an interesting market, so the whole thing is bound to hot up dramatically.
The real validation will come from Nikon and Canon releasing products like these though. Whoever comes up with the first fast, small, light and workable compact with DSLR image quality will get instant cult following. Interchangeable lenses or no.

Four high-profile senators announced plans to reform the nation's domestic surveillance practices Wednesday, signaling a renewed focus on the issue after Syria eclipsed its place on the legislative agenda.
Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Mark Udall, D-Colo., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced joint legislation that would require extensive reforms in Foreign Intelligence law.
The legislation, which Wyden called the "most comprehensive, bipartisan intelligence reform proposal since the disclosures of last June", would outlaw dragnet collection of email and telephone metadata, close the hotly-contested "backdoor search" provision of section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and add a constitutional advocate to the secret FISA court.
The bill would also open avenues for American citizens to independently challenge the constitutionality of the nation's intelligence programs, a provision that Wyden said Paul was instrumental in crafting.
Wyden and Blumenthal had previously teamed up on joint legislation to reform the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in August. Wednesday's announcement included Wyden's colleague on the Senate Intelligence Committee and fellow outspoken critic of the National Security Agency Mark Udall. Tea-Party member Paul's presence is the latest example in how the issue bridges party lines.
The announcement comes the day before Wyden and Udall will hear from Intelligence community heavy-hitters at a rare open hearing held by the Senate Intelligence Committee. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, NSA director Gen. Keith Alexander, and Deputy Attorney General James Cole will testify before Committee members on congressional reforms to the agencies' domestic surveillance tactics.

Longhorn cattle, the iconic cattle of Texas ranches and droves, are descended from cattle brought to the US by Spanish explorers in 1494.

The round-up
Before the introduction of barbed wire in the late 1870's and early 1880's, ranchers would allow their steers to range freely, grazing as the mood took them and mingling with beasts from other ranches. While rustling – the act of actually taking another man's cattle – was treated severely, there was a very relaxed attitude… Read More
When is a cow not a cow?
Cowboys were very precise in their use of terms for the different ages, sexes, and sexual statuses of the cattle they looked after. Here are a few definitions and descriptions which might help clear up any doubt, confusion or ignorance. A cow is a mature female that has had at least one calf. A bull… Read More
Longhorn cattle were hardy, resilient and resistant to disease, but they were also ornery, sly and could have vicious tempers. Cowboys admired them for the fight in them. When they said a steer was 'gentled', they didn't mean that it was in the slightest bit tame – just that it was used to seeing men… Read More

Speaker Newt Gingrich tried today to defend himself against increasingly vocal charges of drift in the House leadership but found himself under withering attack from the Christian Coalition, which lambasted Republican Party leaders' ''muddle-headed moderation.''
Mr. Gingrich, who has kept a low profile since he was reprimanded in January for ethics violations, sought to deflect charges of lethargy from his once-unbreakable rank and file by presenting a 13-point agenda of legislative priorities that read like a rehash of the Contract With America. It began with passage of a balanced budget amendment, which is going nowhere given the Senate's defeat of it earlier this week.
''The Contract With America was the commitment of a legislative minority to a specific set of activities in the first 100 days,'' Mr. Gingrich said. ''This is the commitment of a legislative majority to two years of work. It does not include everything we will do, but it does give you a very strong sense of the direction we will go.''
Even as Mr. Gingrich was pushing his agenda, the Republican leadership came under scathing attack from Ralph Reed, the executive director of the Christian Coalition and one of the most influential conservatives in the country.
''We were elected to govern; we were not elected to ride at the back of the bus,'' Mr. Reed said in a speech in Washington before the Conservative Political Action Conference. ''We were elected to lead, we were not elected to follow, and this Republican Congress should be leading President Clinton and not the other way around.''Continue reading the main story
Although Mr. Reed did not call any Republican by name, it was clear that Mr. Gingrich was one of the targets of his broadside. He accused the Congressional majority leaders ''of timidity, of retreat and of muddle-headed moderation.''
Mr. Gingrich, who had addressed the group earlier but had left by the time Mr. Reed took the microphone, stood by his lieutenants later and took pains to demonstrate that they were in charge and that they did have a plan. They said they had arrived at the agenda, which included tax cuts, a stronger defense and a revamped United Nations, through an orderly process that began in November with meetings among themselves and concluded with a series of meetings between late February and this week.
But the Speaker left the news conference after his brief remarks without taking questions, surrendering control to Representative Dick Armey, the majority leader and his second-in-command. Mr. Armey, a gruff Texan who has emerged as the public point man for House Republicans, was then bombarded with questions about the Speaker's hold on the leadership.
''Who's running the House, you or the Speaker?'' one reporter asked.
Mr. Gingrich was pressured to act by a groundswell of complaints in the Republican ranks that is centered among some of the conservative newcomers who had been among his most ardent supporters.
Far removed from the fast-paced glory days of the 104th Congress, the current session opened with the House voting to reprimand and fine Mr. Gingrich, then slid into a lethargy. The legislative high points have been defeat of a term limits amendment, one of the planks in the Contract With America; a vote to release Federal aid for international family planning, which angered many Republicans who are opposed to abortion, and a vote to reinstate an airport ticket tax that had lapsed.
Angering some Republicans even more was the leadership's decision to let the Clinton Administration take the lead on the budget this year.
''Quite a few members are obviously concerned over the direction that the leadership has taken us in these first three months,'' Representative Joe Scarborough, a second-term Republican from Florida, said this week. ''We have a concern that our leadership remains shellshocked from the Government shutdown a year and a half ago. Most of us are ready for them to start leading again rather than sitting back and reading from Clinton's song sheet.''
In the endless rounds of speculation about Mr. Gingrich's political future, Mr. Armey's name crops up frequently as a potential successor. But the majority leader seemed taken aback today by the questions about his role.
''The fundamental division of responsibilities between myself and the Speaker has not changed one bit from what it was when we first formed it up,'' Mr. Armey replied. ''The Speaker is running the House. The Speaker is the Speaker.''
Although the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is a seemingly dead political letter, Mr. Gingrich said he was undeterred in his intention to bring the legislation up for a vote in the House of Representatives, where it faces even stiffer opposition than in the Senate.
''I believe it will pass the House,'' he said. ''And I hope as the country watches this process that enough senators will hear from back home that ultimately the House version will pass the Senate.''
Other items on his list of legislative priorities were improving the nation's schools by giving parents and local officials more control of the education system; strengthening the country's families, in part, by ending late-term abortions and protecting the Social Security Trust Fund, and improving the quality of health care, including saving Medicare from bankruptcy.Continue reading the main story

After having spoken about ourselves, of our shoe shop and how a shoe is born, the time has come to describe the different kinds of men's shoes. What models there are, which we make, the characteristics of each and which, in our opinion, should never be missing from a man's wardrobe.
If you come by our store, you find both classic models and other more modern ones. All designed by us. We also make any model that is requested because the most important thing is to satisfy our clients.
It should be noted that men have less demands than women. The "basic" models have been the same since the end of the 1800s: derby, Oxford, monk and loafer. These basic models can be revisited with a contemporary twist, playing with materials and colors.
These models differ in how they lace up. There is the shoe that is completely closed when laced (Oxford), the one that stays open when laced (derby), the well-known loafer (classic or with an elastic) and then monks which have buckles (one or two). All of these models can each be varied with stitching or particular detailing.
It is interesting to know that some decorations were introduced randomly by peasants in Northern Europe, who began to punch holes in their uppers to make them dry out faster when they got wet in the fields. Later on the holes became more elaborate and functioned only as decoration.
At this point maybe someone is wondering which model to wear when. Well, etiquette says that shoes with a lot of decorations should never be worn in the evening. It's better to wear smooth, elegant shoes, in particular the five eyelet oxford. Instead the derby is a more casual model that can be worn during the day or with less formal dress.
In closing, we would like to give you some advice about the shoes which, in our opinion, every man should have. As we said before, the oxford (black) is necessary for elegant evenings out. We recommend having two pairs of derby shoes, one black and one brown, the ideal being one with a decoration and one without, a suede shoe which must be brown and decorated, one pair of monks and at least two pairs of loafers to wear in the summer. For more outgoing men, you can add a bicolor or mixed leather pair.
We could talk about this topic for hours, but we believe the time has come to stop using words and move on to the images you can find in our site. Ah, of course, after the images we will be waiting for you at our shop. There is nothing better than seeing our shoes for yourself to really be able to appreciate them. 😉

Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King (2003)
All of the Lord of the Rings movies were excellent. The films are extremely exciting and action-packed. Special effects are before their time and the writers did an excellent job of shortening the otherwise lengthy prose in the books.
The only problem LOTR: The Return of the King has is 'Eowyn.' Most men will identify her as the feminist of the story. She constantly whines that the men are able to do things she can't. She claims that her "privileged position" of not having to fight in wars and end up dead, of being a princess, etc., etc. is somehow "oppressing her." Moreover out of her own selfishness she shirks her duty to her people to "prove she can do anything a man can". Most women like Eowyn's character because, like most western women, she can shirk responsibility due to an imagined slight yet still grind on how the "men' of the country should remain responsible. This double standard permeates western culture and its films.
Such is pro-female dogma at its height and this is where the Politically Correct nonsense begins to take hold of the film.
Having read the books it is true that Eowyn whines all throughout the book, like the typical western woman, and does eventually get to fight in the final war at Gondor. It is also true that she is involved in the killing of the black rider....partially. Now this is where Peter Jackson takes it upon himself to appeal to the "empowered women" notion that seems to be portrayed over and over and over again today in the media.
In a mighty 'one-liner Charlie's Angel like moment' the female character does what "no man" could do(without the help of a man is the invisible line here); but is this how it was originally written? Is Eowyn the true heroine that needs only be a "woman" in order to kill the big, bad, evil masculine black rider? We all saw in the theater how after the Hobbit stabs the black rider she whips off her helmet, right after he says "No MAN can kill me", and triumphantly yells "I AM NO MAN!" She then stabs him and he dies, but is this how it "really' happened in the ACTUAL book?
The answer is no and yes. In the book she says "You look upon a woman" but what has been 'purposely' left out of the film is how this is achieved. You see the dagger that the Hobbit stabbed the black rider with was magical and they were made to kill the black riders, these daggers were obtained by the men of the film earlier on in the book (Why was this left out?), thus the reason Eowyn was able to take the rider down with her last blow.
It had nothing to do with her being a "strong woman" as the media portrayed it, just her being in the right place at the right time. The black rider was already dying from the enchanted dagger strike made by the Hobbit (i.e. A short MAN). In all reality Eowyn was about to die in the fight, the black rider broke her arm with one swing (even though she was bearing a shield), 'until' the male Hobbit saves her by plunging the enchanted dagger into the rider effectively weakening him so that a woman would be able to slay him and use the moment as a female empowerment moment. As I said the strike from the dagger is what killed him, as stated in the book, this fact was left out of the film to make women happy."
Also Gimli is an excellent combatant in the book, but in the movie you see him portrayed as comic relief. He was the roughest character in the book, but was portrayed as the goofy jokester. What gives? There were also tons of jokes from mostly women, and PC men, claiming the fellowship was gay because they were men who cared about one another, and had a mission that did not involve something so petty as competing with men, just so you can prove to yourself that you are useful.
I applaud P. Jackson for not bending to the immature taunting of the fellowship men. Mr. Jackson had them helping, leading, and caring for each other and there was a great sense of honor among the males in the film. I see the taunting of men who are close as "gay" simply being another attempt by the old matriarchs to keep men separated.

text: Understanding non-human animal behavior is essential to understanding animal welfare. And one of the key ways that we interpret farmed animal welfare is by how much a given situation allows them to express their natural behaviors. One of the most unnatural places for animals is the slaughterhouse. And slaughterhouse welfare is a divisive topic at the best of times. While divisive, it's not a complete unknown. Many studies have looked at the behavioral and physiological reactions of animals at various stages of slaughter, as well as during transport before slaughter.
