The new year compels many people to re-evaluate their investments, and this month may be a good time to make some adjustments.
Among the five mutual fund experts who created hypothetical retirement portfolios for The New York Times in July, most have decided to rejigger their portfolios after sitting tight for six months.
Their reasons are varied -- shedding laggards, taking profits, responding to research, assessing opportunities abroad and betting on an economic surge at home. While far from providing a consensus, they offer some insight to investors wondering what to do in 1994. Generally speaking, investing abroad continues to be a priority, and cyclical stocks that rise and fall with the economy look attractive. But opinion is split on small stocks.
Realigning portfolios yearly is a good idea, finance professionals say, because a strong performance in one area could quickly lead to an ill-advised concentration. Sheldon Jacobs, the editor of The No-Load Fund Investor in Irvington, N.Y., saw that happen last year to his investment in emerging markets, which soared. Because of that runup, he is shedding some assets there. Foreign funds remain appealing, however. Mr. Jacobs recommends reinvesting part of the proceeds from the emerging markets in another foreign fund, albeit a European one, trimming his foreign exposure slightly, to about 23 percent. A second fund picker, Harold Evensky, who is an investment adviser with Evensky, Brown & Katz, in Coral Gables, Fla., is increasing his allotment for foreign equities to 20 percent from 15 percent. (He also has 5 percent in Sogen International, which invests globally, and 5 percent in foreign bonds.) Factoring in growth in recent months, the three other advisers have more than 20 percent invested in global or foreign funds as well. In performance, Mr. Jacobs continues to lead the five fund experts, sailing on several red-hot international funds. His portfolio has gained 18.32 percent since its inception, and surged 10.33 percent in the fourth quarter. All but one of the experts have beaten the market. Since tracking began on July 7, their portfolios have risen an average of 10.22 percent, while the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has gained 6.7 percent in the period. The portfolio performance, tracked quarterly by Lipper Analytical Services Inc. in Summit, N.J., does not include taxes, transaction charges or sales charges. The latter charges, also called loads, would especially crimp the returns of the one portfolio that has lagged behind the S.& P. 500, returning 6.4 percent. That portfolio, designed for socially responsible investors, was compiled by Jack A. Brill, an investment adviser in San Diego, and almost all those funds have loads.
The 5 experts can choose up to 10 funds that are open to new investors, and can shift money quarterly, although the portfolios are intended to grow for 20 years. Mr. Jacobs describes his strategy as "taking money out of the winners, on the theory that their performance would be difficult to repeat, and putting it into market sectors that haven't been so strong."Continue reading the main story
He recommends selling enough of Fidelity Emerging Markets, which returned an extraordinary 81.8 percent in 1993, and T. Rowe Price New Asia, which gained 78.8 percent, to reduce their weighting to 5 percent each.
Half the proceeds go to Invesco European. "Europe is a little behind on the economic curve and hasn't had the run-up the emerging markets have had," Mr. Jacobs said. The balance goes to Neuberger & Berman Guardian, a growth-and-income fund, an average performer in 1993. The possibility of a correction concerns Eric Kobren, president of Insight Management and the editor of Fidelity Insight, in Wellesley, Mass. He is dumping the Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund from his all-Fidelity portfolio. "If the market corrects itself, small-company funds are more likely to bear the brunt of the decline than larger-cap stocks and certainly industrials, which are our focus now," he explained. His main goal? "Inflation-proofing the portfolio in the face of an improving economy, particularly in the industrial sector," he said.
Therefore, he is plowing the proceeds from the small stock fund into Fidelity Capital Appreciation, which should benefit from strengthening commodity prices and its deep cyclical stocks. As the economy expands this year, cyclicals are expected to continue their strong performance of 1993.
Fidelity Value, Mr. Kobren's largest holding, already focuses on economically sensitive areas like basic industries, durable goods and industrial equipment manufacturers. That fund should do well as the economy strengthens, he said, even though its year-end performance was dampened by a slide in its energy stocks.
A more fundamental strategy shift comes from Mr. Evensky, who took an opportunity to adjust all his fund allocations. Although not dissatisfied with any of his original choices, Mr. Evensky is leaning toward smaller stocks now.
He attributed this change of heart to the growing currency placed on research by two University of Chicago professors, Eugene Fama and Kenneth French. They have concluded that stocks of small companies with low ratios of book value to market value are better performers over time than stocks that are extremely volatile, traditionally believed to be the best bets.
Mr. Evensky is adding to his stake in the Meridian Fund, a small-company fund with a median market capitalization of $580 million, by reducing positions in two large-cap stock funds: Vanguard Index 500 Portfolio and Windsor II. For more international flavor, he made small investments in two emerging markets funds, the Newport Tiger Fund, which carries a 5 percent load, and Pfamco Emerging Markets Portfolio. He also increased T. Rowe Price International's allocation to 15 percent.
Reflecting another change in thinking, Mr. Evensky replaced the Vanguard Limited Term Municipal Bond Fund with the Pimco Foreign Bond Fund, which can hedge against currency risk. While academic research is inconclusive, Mr. Evensky believes that hedging currency risk has a negligible impact when overseas bonds account for only a small part of the portfolio. A big disappointment for Mr. Brill has been Pax World, hammered by its position in large-capitalization consumer stocks. He is substituting the Calvert Social Investment: Managed Growth Portfolio, another balanced fund, which lagged in 1993 but has earned about 11 percent annually since its 1982 inception. Calvert holds up well in down markets, he said, and has not lost money in any year.
The two funds from Working Assets have done even worse, but Mr. Brill is hanging on to them. The new manager there has been repositioning the portfolios, he said, adding stocks with earnings momentum.
For the quarter, John Rekenthaler, editor of Morningstar Mutual Funds, trailed the group, with a 2 percent gain, mostly because of Vanguard's energy fund, which proved to be an unneeded hedge. "These 'hedge' funds make one look like geniuses or idiots; I'll answer to the latter," he said -- so far.
Still, the portfolio built by Mr. Rekenthaler, who has made no changes in his original picks, has risen a total of 8.12 percent since its inception.Continue reading the main story

text: Possible to replace "G" minipci w/ an "N" card in WRT54Gv1.0 ? I have been poking around looking for the answer to this for some time, and seems nobody has a concrete answer. By my own (possibly incorrect) deductions it would seem that yes you could, the firmware would just need to be compiled with proper linux drivers to run the "N" card that I inserted. Has anyone successfully converted their v1.0 WRTG54 to an "N" router? If it is a simple matter of drivers, how would someone go about compiling them into the firmware? Is there possibly an "N" card out there that would work w/ the existing builds of DDWRT or OPENWRT? I appreciate the feedback, hopefully with minor modifications this can be a reality. Thanks!

FAQ'S Acorn Nutrition
Are Acorns really edible?
Yes, acorns are edible and quite nutritious but they take a bit of processing before you can eat them. They are NOT edible raw. Acorns contain quite a bit of naturally occurring tannins which make them bitter. Other foods contain tannins to varying degrees, it is, in fact, often what gives certain foods their unique 'mouth feel'. Foods that contain tannins include pomegranates, grapes, nuts, chocolate, rhubarb and some beans. We prefer using cold water baths to remove these bitter tannins and make the acorns edible (you can also use hot water methods, though that removes some of the beneficial oils and changes the overall nutrition). Once tannins are removed acorns have a very mild nutty flavor making them very easy to incorporate into your favorite recipes for added nutrition and health .
Acorns have been a food staple eaten by cultures the world over for centuries. One history of balanoculture (defined as societies whose diet staple is the oak acorn) can be found in the wonderful book Oak, The Frame of Civilization by William Logan.
Here is an article about Acorns from Weekend Edition on NPR in 2014. Looking to purchase 100% local acorn flour?
Are Acorns nutritious?
Acorns are nutrition dense and satisfying. 1 ounce of acorn flour contains: 2 grams of protein, 15 grams of carbohydrates and 8 grams of fat making it a fairly balanced nutritional source.
Acorns also are a good source of manganese, among other things. Some health benefits of manganese include benefits to healthy bone structure, bone metabolism, and helping to create essential enzymes for building bones. It also acts as a co-enzyme to assist metabolic activity in the human body. Apart from these, there are other health benefits of manganese including the formation of connective tissues, absorption of calcium, proper functioning of the thyroid gland and sex hormones, regulation of blood sugar level, and metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.

Acorns are Gluten Free.

Born in the Motor City, bred in the deserts of New Mexico, and now residing in Northern California. I started DJing in late 1996, and began working on music in 1999. Cut my teeth as a DJ & Producer primarily on 90's and early 00's progressive house (ala Sasha & Digweed, Global Underground, etc etc), but have since migrated to the deeper, funkier and slower side of dance music.
I've put out some records, and a few of those records were on bigger dj's mix cd's. I took a bunch of planes, to play records, in a bunch of states, and then in 2005 I walked away from it all for a few years. Eventually found my way back to DJing through House music, and the rest is history.
These days, I primarily play/edit/write music in the House, Disco & Techno "triangle", and never have as much time as I'd like to work on things.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --As millions of Texas taxpayer dollars are lost each year because of food stamp fraud -- $15 million in food stamp monies were ripped off last year alone -- the state agency that oversees the program has cut back on the number of fraud cases they hand over to local district attorneys for prosecution.
In 2010, the state Health and Human Services Commission, which administers the federal food stamp program, referred 2,529 cases of fraud to local DAs, according to records obtained by ABC-13; in 2011 that number was 2,022.
By 2013, the number of fraud referrals had dramatically dipped to 371, an 82 percent decrease.
The reason for the decrease comes from a decision made in 2011.
"We got permission from the federal government," said Health and Human Service Commission spokeswoman Linda Edwards Gockel.
Now, according to two law enforcement sources, only those who defraud the government of more than $5,000 are prosecuted. Gockel would not say if $5,000 was the threshold, only that the threshold was raised.
"We asked if we could raise the threshold so that means that we would investigate cases with higher dollar amounts," she said. "We wanted to spend time on cases that would bring us better return on the taxpayer dollar."
Records show that the total amount of money obtained from fraudulent food stamp users has not changed substantially when compared to before the rule change.
In 2010, the state recovered $7.7 million in fraudulent food stamp monies, according to records. In 2011, the year of the rule change, $6.7 million was recovered.
After the rule change, $7.9 million was recovered in 2012, and $6.8 million recovered in 2013.
The state says that the new rules mean fewer resources are needed to prosecute cases.
But the numbers make little sense to Claudia Wolff. She feels like a criminal, but is certainly no law-breaker.
"Why aren't they going after all the fraudsters," she asked. "Why are they going after people like me?"
Wolff, a 60-year-old on disability applied for food stamps in the spring 2011 and was approved. After her liver transplant she needed a special diet, and the $200 a month she received in food stamp aid helped, she said.
But two-and-a-half years later the state said she didn't qualify for food stamps and never should have. What's more, the state wanted all the food stamp money back, a total of $5,013.
She says the state has even threatened to garnish her Social Security disability check, something that ABC-13 heard on Friday has happened to others.
"I don't think it's right at all, not at all," Wolff said.
And while the state of Texas remains relatively steady with the amount of food stamp fraud money prosecutors are able to recover, clawing back the money from food stamp recipients who received aid through agency error is a comparative success.
In 2009, the state got back $1.9 million from food stamp recipients who received food stamp money in error, records show. In 2013, that number climbed to $4.6 million.
ABC-13 reported Thursday that Wolff, along with nearly 40,000 SNAP recipients were overpaid because of agency error to the tune of almost $41 million since 2009.
State officials readily admit it's their mistake. They also say there is nothing they can do to help. Federal food stamp rules insist the state get back the money from recipients who have been overpaid food stamp money, even if it's because of an agency slip-up.
Wolff was also shocked about another piece of information uncovered by ABC-13: The state Health and Human Services Commission received a $6 million bonus for accuracy inputting recipients' food stamp information.
Of that bonus, $5.4 million went to Health and Human Services Commission staff bonuses.
Zero went to help pay the bills created by the commission's own errors.
"I just couldn't believe it," Wolff said,

No I am not pregnant. Lol
Ive been noticing that I pee a lot, I would go to the restroom then about 5-10 mins I would have to go again to use it! And there would be times that I would use it and just a little comes out and 10-20 mins later there I go again using the restroom… There are days where I'm okay but days where it happens a lot. I figured I go check with my doctor just in case I may have a UTI. I did not feel any burning while peeing but since I pee a lot I figured I just go and check… Well I took some blood tests & urine test and it all came out that I'm fine, no UTI no diabetes… Pic below is all the test I took for all my blood work and my doctor called me saying everything seems okay and that I am fine… So now I'm wondering maybe I just have an overactive bladder? does anyone else experience this? And still come out fine ? I kinda find it strange but I'm glad that I have nothing serious.

Brunswick is a suburb in the inner north of Melbourne. The area is known as Iramoo by the Wurundjeri people. The name Brunswick came from Thomas Wilkinson who bought the land in 1841. He named his estate Brunswick after the estranged wife of King George IV, Caroline of Brunswick. The retreat hotel which still stands today was first opened as the Retreat Inn in 1842 by a woman named Amelia Shaw. The Brunswick Town Hall across the road was built in 1876.
In the 1850s quarries and brickworks were established as Brunswick was the home to clay and bluestone. Brunswick was the "brickyard capital of Victoria". Many buildings in Brunswick are built using our very own bluestones and bricks. The bluestone lanes are a wonderful example of this history and cherished by our community.
In 1884 the first Brunswick railway line was built running directly into the Hoffmans Brickworks and as far as Coburg. In 1887 the first cable tram line was laid along Sydney road.
In the 1900s Brunswick became home to the largest textiles industry in the area. After World War II, Brunswick saw the arrival of a large number of migrants from Italy, Greece and Malta.
In 1908 Brunswick officially became a city. Textiles became a large industry in the area in the early decades of the 20th century, while quarrying declined with the depletion of reserves. By 1910 the population of Brunswick had grown to 10,000 people. More recently, migrants from countries across the Middle East have made Brunswick there home. Now, manufacturing in Brunswick has closed and factories and the brickworks have been turned into residential development.

It's a Friday night and unlike most teenage lads my age, I'm not sipping white lightening, hassling wildlife down the park. Instead, I'm sat next to my phone, waiting for a call back from a radio station. Yes, I am one of those people.
By this point I'm a seasoned pro! I've even made some 'fans' (I use the term very liberally). At the time I wasn't fully aware of how unusual my hobby was, to be honest, I didn't see anything wrong with it. Although my parents weren't fully aware of how involved I became with the shows, I think they were more than happy to allow me to explore a creative avenue. They knew I wasn't like the other kids at school, so I might as well do something different with my time.
There comes a point, as we're growing up, that the real world shows up. Like an annoying friend of a friend at a party that you're too polite to stop talking to, so you're stuck with him for the night. Unfortunately, this bastard sticks with you for the rest of your life. Radio gave me the ability to hide in the toilet for a couple of hours, waiting for him to leave, I've come to realise that he never leaves… ever. But, you get better at dealing with him.
It meant that I spent a large part of my teenage life playing a role – the annoying teenage boy (not too difficult to perform, let me assure you). I was willing to call up a couple of shows and contribute my ideas, or just add some nonsense. At a time in my life when I could have felt very insignificant I felt important and special.
I became someone people laughed at, or with. To me, it didn't matter which. My mate's aunt even knew who I was because they listened the show – I was famous!
Thinking about my short-lived stardom (if I can call it that) it's clear I relished the anonymity. It allowed me to not only be myself, but also try out being whoever else I could imagine. I think having that option as a teenager is incredible, you don't have to be stuck being the person you are at school or around your parents.
Talk radio's a mixed bag, there's the fancy china on one side with Radio4 and on the other, is one of those plastic freezable cups you got on your 18th birthday with Talksport. You can't deny that talk radio's popular, LBC's pretty much doubled its listening figures over the last decade (albeit they've gone national on DAB) and Radio4 is one of the most listened to stations in the country. Sadly, I'm not one of the millions of avid listeners any more, and it's sad to think that part of my life is long gone. I do look back and cringe at how involved I was, but ultimately, I'm proud to say – I was a radio call in freak and it made me who I am today!

It's an excellent album for sure - agree that Hope is very consistent.Always a pleasure to hear her sing.
The women, looks and voice, is the definition of sultry. (or at least was)
I am trying to bolster my SACD collection but I have found nothing out of classical on SACD that interests me.

ADELAIDE, Australia -- Santos (40%) and GDF SUEZ (60%, operator) reported that the Bonaparte LNG project will consider other potential development options, in addition to the floating LNG concept, to develop the Petrel, Tern and Frigate natural gas fields, 250 km offshore Darwin. These options will include a pipeline connection to Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory.
While the partners firmly believe the fields have material value, having been fully appraised, their future development using floating LNG technology, although technically robust as demonstrated during extensive pre-FEED studies, does not currently meet the companies' commercial requirements.
Consequently, the proposed Bonaparte floating LNG project will not be taken into the FEED phase at this point in time, they reported.
Santos received a cash consideration of $200 million when the Bonaparte LNG JV was formed, and has received a full carry on study and development costs by GDF SUEZ.

Being homeless is stressful for everyone, people as well as pets. When animals are abandoned, the lucky ones end up in animal shelters where they are treated with kindness, given fresh water and regular food, and kept in a safe, clean environment.
Unfortunately, sitting around all day in a kennel, no matter how cozy, is pretty boring. Dogs are meant to be active- running, jumping, playing, and sniffing. These are the keys to sanity for canines. When denied exercise and enrichment, even well-mannered dogs can get a little crazy, which does not improve their chances of being adopted. What family wants a furry 60-pound tornado in the house?
Luckily for the dogs at the Humane Society of Adams County's Animal Shelter in West Union, construction on a large fenced-in area was recently completed. The play yard, which was installed by CBS Fence Company of West Union, is six feet tall and made of chain-link wire. The enclosure will allow dogs of all ages, size, and temperament the ability to "get the wiggles out" through regular daily activity.
The play yard features two sections connected by a gate so that more than one animal can use the space simultaneously. In addition to canine exercise, shelter staff have already started using the enclosed area for obedience training, socialization, and meet-and-greet sessions with prospective adopters. Support from Animal Farm Foundation has allowed the Humane Society of Adams County to construct the play yard to benefit shelter dogs. Play yards are the best way for shelter dogs to experience enrichment and socialize. Socialization for shelter dogs is essential for the dogs' physical and mental well-being and will result in sending more dogs home faster.

Get Folked Up with Eleanor McEvoy
Eleanor McEvoy – June 4 2008 at West End Centre, Queens Road, Aldershot 8:00P £9
In a world where the word star and the gift of talent are often devalued, Eleanor McEvoy is neither an overnight success nor a four week wonder. A musician and songwriter of note, the real deal, possessing all of the qualities that go to make up the complete artist.
Her career began at the age of four when she took piano lessons, taking up violin at the age of eight. Upon finishing school she attended Trinity College in Dublin where she studied music by day and worked in pit orchestras and music clubs by night.Eleanor graduated from Trinity and was accepted into the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland where she worked four years before finally taking the plunge to concentrate on her passion for songwriting.
After a long hard slog, the girl who spent the year of 1988 busking in Union Square, New York had come a long way, a route that took her through the disciplines of classical music, Irish traditional music and contemporary music to a point where she finally found success in 1992.
It happened when one of her songs "Only a Woman's Heart" inspired the title for, and appeared on, the "A Woman's Heart" anthology album. It has since gone on to become the best selling album in Irish history, staying in the Irish Top 10 for over a year.
Since then Eleanor has gone on to become an artist and performer known throughout the world. Her critically acclaimed canon of work spans six albums, several singles and appearances on numerous compilation albums and is today recognised as Ireland's most successful female singer songwriter having enjoyed personal chart success and numerous cover versions of her songs. (Emmylou Harris, Mary Black, Phil Coulter, amongst others). Her song "All I Have" features in the most recent series of the HBO cult series "Six Feet Under".

Great Band – Foulplay – at Ye Old Swan, Burnham
Fouplay- Jun 7 2008 9:00P Ye Old Swan, Burnham , Berks
The time (before last) that we saw Foul Play at the cosy and bijou 'pubette' that is the Jolly Farmer, Staines, the band had managed to squeeze their four-piece guitar-based band plus amps & speakers plus some keyboards with female vocalist (plus two backing singers), into a space that was just about big enough to seat a pot-plant.
(They normally keep the pot plant on the corner table by the window.)
On that night, the band kept bringing out more and more songs from their plentiful archives like some kind of deranged 'rock school' lecturers.
"Do you remember Little Richard? No, well here's some. Do you remember Rockabilly? No, well here's some. Do you remember Surf Music? No, well here's some"….their repertoire included everything ( as in EVERYTHING) from bygone ages of old-time rock and roll and skiffle, through to classics from the glam-rock seventies, big numbers from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and even into modern indie rock territory. I was astonished when the five piece ( and mainly guitar-based combo, remember) attempted- and pulled off with some aplomb- some 2-Tone British Ska.
That was the time before last.
When we saw the band last summer they had a new lead guitar player in the shape of Pete Downes – and, boy, can he play !!!
The lead singer, Lee Ridley, (who uncannily resembles David Brent) is still the main dynamo for the group and provides some nice chunky chords for Pete Downes to ornament and adorn. But they have now 'lost' the keyboards. But they retain Carl Gaywood on drums and Huw Stokes on Bass.
When did you last see a band without keyboards attempt a Pink Floyd number? It is typical of these boys to attempt Pink Floyd now they DON'T have keyboards any longer! Yep! The Foul Play boys even did a track from Dark Side of the Moon… God bless 'em.
So if you like classic rock, and you like some fancy guitar work, and you like a good old sing-song why not go on a musical journey through the entire seven ages of rock with Foul Play?
You could do lot worse than coming down the Jolly Farmer the next night the boys are playing. It could be an education.

In Bollingen, silence surrounds me almost audibly, and I live "in modest harmony with nature." Thoughts rise to the surface which reach back centuries, and accordingly anticipate a remote future … my ancestors' souls are sustained …. since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. … It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house. (MDR, P 237) Jung p 36
When we fight for the soul and its life, we receive as reward not fame, not wages, not friends but what is already in the soul, a freshness that no one can destroy. This soul truth, which young people pick up somewhere, sustains them. It assures the young man or woman that if not rich, he or she is still in touch with truth; that his inheritance comes not from his immediate parents but from his equals thousand of generations ago; that the door to the soul is unlocked; that he does not need to please the doorkeeper, but that the door in front of him is his, intended for him, and that the doorkeeper obeys when spoken to. Robert Bly, P 46
It is not easy to answer your question about the "Island of Peace." I seem to have quite a number of them, a sort of peaceful archipelago. Some of the main islands are: my garden, the view of the distant mountains, my country place where I withdraw from the noise of the city, my library. Also small things like books, pictures, and stones. Jung p 37
When you walk out into Nature you have basically two way of creating dialogue. First you can simple turn off the beaten track and discover a Sacred Aisle or place that speaks to you across time, or you can get stuck in and actually create one. What you see in front of you is a spiral staircase made of earth, trees and stones that connects two terraces. Each of the terraces is quite different, one old and unchanged, the other, newer with recent plantings of introduced trees and flowers. It is a very, very long walk to get from one to the other, to the next higher level and, by the time you get there, you are getting weary and tend to have forgotten where you have come from and lost the impression of what you experienced. Hence, the spiral stairway makes it possible to compare and contrast the two levels very quickly, as you ascend, jarring the senses and lifting you upward. The twisting movement causes you to adjust your stride, grasp, hold on, fear falling, to be drawn into the different something… a camellia horseshoe, guarded by two old orange trees… just time to make a wish that will sweep you off your feet.

Imagination Takes Shape: Inuit Art from the Robert and Judith Toll Collection
November 18, 2010 - December 4, 2011
Arctic Museum main galleries
This exhibition included 86 works carefully selected from a much larger collection donated to the museum by Robert and Judith Toll in 2009. The prints and carvings were made in the past fifty years by artists living in communities across the Canadian Arctic.
As the title of the exhibit suggests, Inuit artists approach their work with remarkable imagination. A hunter takes on the appearance of the animal he is hunting, individuals who fill a man's thoughts appear on the page as if they surround him, and on close inspection, dozens of human faces create an igloo, a symbol of family and home. Through these works Inuit artists tell stories about their traditional and changing way of life, capturing every day activities, depicting episodes in myths and legends, and reflecting on their close family and community bonds.
Robert and Judith Toll began purchasing carvings and prints made by Inuit artists from the Canadian Arctic in the 1960s. Over the next forty years they developed a significant collection, unusual for its focus on art from particular communities, especially Baker Lake and Arviat on the west side of Hudson Bay, and on works by multiple generations of artists from specific families. When the Tolls began to look for a suitable home for their collection, they wanted one where the collection would be used for teaching and research as well as shared in public exhibitions.
Funding for the exhibit and its programs was provided by the Friends of Bowdoin College, the Canadian Consulate in Boston, Solis LED Lighting, NY, and the Arctic Museum's Russell and Janet Doubleday endowment.

Kate Middleton shops for groceriesMay 6th, 2011 - 7:53 pm ICT by IANS
London, May 6 (IANS) Kate Middleton looked like any other young middle-class woman out shopping when she was spotted at a supermarket recently. Clutching a shopping list, she studied packs of chocolate biscuits, washing powder, pasta, and fruit and vegetables, a media report said Friday.
The future Queen, who has lost her wedding-day curls and straightened her hair, hovered over a counter of fresh pizzas on a shopping trip to Waitrose, the Daily Express reported. She emerged from the store with a full trolley before loading five bags into the back of her Audi.
Prince William's bride has vowed to do without flunkies and live the simple life of an officer's wife to help give their marriage a good grounding, according to the daily.
It was the first time she had been seen out in public since she and William left in a helicopter for a quiet weekend on the day after their wedding.
In a waterfall cardigan, white cotton jumper and her favourite black Hudson skinny jeans, she even put her trolley back after loading up her car, the Express said.
She chatted with other shoppers and made steady progress around the store.
While his wife stocked up on supplies for their rented farmhouse, Prince William, 28, had been involved in two mountain rescues overnight after going back to work as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot.

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. This one likely is worth more than a few antacids for many in the defense sector.
This Intercepts correspondent paused while pouring a(nother) cup of coffee after noticing something different on his trusty sequestration countdown clock.
Upon close inspection, he realized we have crossed the 90-day marker. That means if lawmakers fail to pass either a bill delaying twin $500 billion in defense and domestic spending in the next 89 days, the first tranche of cuts kick in Jan. 2.
Defense officials and industry executives warn the sequestration cuts would be devastating for national security and the U.S. defense industrial base. So the ticking clock is no doubt causing heartburn among them, their allies on Capitol Hill, and of course, among their investors.
That said, as the sequester clocks ticks inside 90 days, some scholarly work suggests the cuts might be manageable. For instance, the Pentagon budget would take the biggest hit in 2013, dipping by 10 percent — a decline that would basically return it to 2006 levels.
By 2015, it would be well above $500 billion again, growing to almost $600 billion by the end of this decade, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.
But those numbers fail to provide solace for hawkish lawmakers who say the cuts would be catastrophic. Take House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon, who recently said if the sequester cuts go through, the Pentagon essentially would "shut down" on Jan. 2.

Metascore®Universal acclaimbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
I was fascinated by the face of Emmanuelle Devos, and her face is specifically why I recommend the movie.
Read Full Review
The ending is a stunner. Like those '30 classics it suggests, Gilles' Wife seduces us with true cinematic magic: rich characters, great acting and that rapturous old French blend of realism and theatricality.
Devos's performance is an expert workshop of internalized emotions and silent forbearance.
Told primarily via body language and facial expressions with a minimum of dialogue, beautifully observed, emotionally intense tale is an ambitious and rewarding outing for Frederic Fonteyne.

Getting your music and video library cleaned up so that all of the tags look nice can be a very time consuming project. There are plenty of apps out there that try to lookup the tag information online, but they don't always work that well. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do the work manually.
If you are at the tipping point where you are going to try and tackle the tag updating yourself I highly recommend taking a look at the free TigoTago app. It will let you navigate to folders on your machine that contain music and videos, and will present you with a spreadsheet-like layout for updating the information. Editing one of the fields is as simple as double-clicking in the cell and changing the content. Once you've made all your changes you just hit the save button in the toolbar to commit the changes you've made.
The app also has a lot of other features that are nice including find & replace, selecting/updating multiple cells at the same time, ordering/numbering files, generating filenames from tags or tags from filenames, and searching online sites for album information. In all it's a pretty powerful app, and can be an excellent tool for helping to clean up the tags in your music library.

Bobby Brown was wrong.
So I've been playing the Elevate app on the daily so that I can get my smarter on. (See? It's working.)
And one of the games is about proper word pronunciation.
I got these two wrong. Oops.

On August 19, 2012, season 3 of HGTV's All American Handyman premiered. The show features ten hopeful contestants hoping to be judged by Mike Holmes and Scott McGillivray as the All American Handyman (or woman). The prize? A $10,000 shopping spree from Sears, and an HGTV development deal. From the HGTV website:
The show challenges the contestants' skills with two grueling rounds: a "fix-it" challenge, and a "build-it" challenge. The fix-it challenge for week 1 was "Flush in a Flash," in which contestants were given 30 minutes to completely replace a toilet. The toilet had to be installed correctly, aesthetically, and lastly, it had to flush! The stand-outs for round 1 were Julia the Soviet real estate agent, Rodney the musician-turned-handyman, and Scott H. the Denver carpenter. Scott H. was chosen the winner and given the advantage for round 2.
A true "handyman" is one who has a wide range of skills ranging from repair work to complete build outs, from odd jobs to serious construction. All American Handyman will bring together 10 of the country's most talented handymen and handywomen to compete in a series of challenges to discover who has what it takes to fix and build just about anything thrown their way. Over the course of six episodes, our competitors will battle through 12 challenges designed to test their skills, creativity and resourcefulness in a series of relatable, real-world handyman projects. Series host Anitra Mecadon will guide the participants through each challenge and then their work will be judged and scrutinized by two of the industry's heavyweights, Mike Holmes (HGTV's Holmes on Holmes) and Scott McGillivray (HGTV's Income Property). In the end, only one challenger will emerge victorious and walk away with a $10,000 Sears shopping spree, an HGTV development deal and the right to be called All American Handyman!
In round two, the contestants were given 4 hours to build doghouses for specific breeds of dogs. The particular type of dog each contestant had to build for was decided by Scott H.
In the end, it came down to Julia and Chris T., and Chris T. was sent home. Julia was spared because she had done so well in round 1, while Chris had "screwed the pooch" in round 1, installing a toilet that leaked when it flushed.

The Instructional Media Center (IMC) has tools for recording DVDs, as well as a number of more advanced video editing resources available. Please keep in mind that powerful and versatile equipment offers more options - but also requires more time to learn how to operate.
The options available at the IMC include:
- Non-Linear Digital Editing - If you need to modify a video beyond simply copying it, the IMC has resources for this. Adobe Premiere Pro is installed on all graphic workstations. These computers also have Firewire cards to interface with digital camcorders and external hard drives. A MiniDV deck is available as well.
Be prepared to invest some time in learning non-linear editing. These systems can edit a variety of video formats and enable you to create professional fades, cross-dissolves, superimposed titling, rolling credits, music, and sound effects with voiceovers.
To reserve any of these resources, call the Instructional Media Center at 314-977-2919 and press 1 at the voice menu. For more information, contact the IT Service Desk at 314-977-4000 or visit the IT Service Desk page for a complete listing of service desk locations and contact information.

Towards Human Development with Equity
While both the Chinese Government and the international community recognize the threats and challenges that China faces in terms of effectively advancing its poverty reduction campaign, the current debate is no longer about "what" and "why", but "how". And it has been increasingly acknowledged that China has to promote a development process which would allow for an equitable distribution of its benefits among regions and people, and thus progressively reduce poverty, inequality and maintain social cohesion. The issue of equity is central to human development and China's HDR 2005 intends to seek to contribute to the ongoing policy dialogue by bringing into it a human development perspective. The report argues that the implementation of proactive pro-poor macro-policies is required to foster human development with equity and reduce poverty on a sustainable basis.

Leaders break ground on new Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital
Leaders break ground on new Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital
OMAHA, Neb. —
City and state leaders broke ground on the new Madonna Rehabilitation hospital on Thursday.
The new campus near 178th and Burke streets will serve patients dealing with spinal cord injuries and brain trauma.
Plans for the $93 million space include a therapy gym and pool.
Officials said everything in patient's rooms will be voice- and gesture-controlled, so patients can turn lights on and off and close doors on their own.
"We are creating the future of hope for people that are most compromised by physical limitation," said hospital President and CEO Marsha Lommel.
The building is set to open in the fall of 2016. Officials said the facility will bring more than 800 jobs after construction.


text: This is a great take on an Indian classic. A super low carb, high protein taste extravaganza with tons of super foods and spices to give anyone dieting a healthy meal option with flavour to spare. Takes 15 minutes to prepare in the morning, head on to work and when you return in the evening, dinner is ready to go and the slow cooked lamb tastes divine!Turn your slow cooker on to get it warmed up and add the lamb to the bottom of the pot. Put the 4 peeled red onions, 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and the garam masala, cumin, garlice, ginger, tandoori masala and natural yoghurt into a blender and switch on for a minutes or so until the sauce has mixed together properly, add over the lamb in the slow cooker. Tear the spinach puree into small clumps with your hands and scatter over the mixture bit by bit. Finally add the lentils and frozen vegetables and mix thoroughly with a large spoon. Leave to cook on low for 6-10 hours (or fast for 3 hours). It is preferable to stir this around once ever 2 hours but if you're like me and you leave this cooking while you are out at work, this is not essential. Once cooked, you may want to drain any excess water from the top. If not, serve - you can add rice or naan breads (garlic ones go best) to go with the curry or, if you are keeping carbs low, this is great on it's own! Enjoy!

Mother-In-Law (me singing like the Coasters)
Marie is 85 years old. She is very active in church and family life. She is always on the go. When she is not going she is either dragging limbs and debris to the trash pile (she lives on 5 acres) or reading. Anna has, in the past several years, got her interested in reading novels.
Marie files everything. If you mention you read an interesting article about a certain local person there is a good chance she has a file on that person. She has a huge number of photos and on each photo she insists on putting a short biography of each person. If you took a roll of film of two people and give her all the prints. Next week when you drop by every print will have the same biographical sketch, like date of birth, child of, death (if so), sibling of, spouse of, and so on.
She is a perfectionist, which some people consider a curse.

Speculations about my leaving McLaren are rubbish: Hamilton
British driver Lewis Hamilton on Sunday dismissed reports of his leaving his Formula One team McLaren and joining some other team for the next season as "rubbish" and said he was currently focused on regaining his world championship title after five years.india Updated: Sep 16, 2012 21:57 IST
British driver Lewis Hamilton on Sunday dismissed reports of his leaving his Formula One team McLaren and joining some other team for the next season as "rubbish" and said he was currently focused on regaining his world championship title after five years.
"I have not signed up with anyone. I don't have a timeline (to sign a new contract). I have to get that (contract) sorted out. People are doing this in the background. Lot of stories are written about it, lot of speculations... Don't get distracted from this rubbish. I am 100 per cent focused on the world championship," said the 27-year-old McLaren driver in Mumbai on Sunday.
He was interacting with the Indian media ahead of the Vodafone Speed Fest at the Bandra Kurla Complex, the new and upcoming commercial hub.
"At present, winning the world championship is my target," said the 2008 champion, who is currently lying second, 37 points behind leader Fernando Alonso of Spain in the 20-race Formula One world championship.
Reports in the United Kingdom have said that McLaren have already set their sights on Mexican Sergio Perez, of Sauber, to sign him up for next season in place of Hamilton, who, having won three races this season, is negotiating a 60-million pound offer from Mercedes.
Seven more races are remaining to be run this season with the next one coming up at Singapore, a night event, on September 23.
Hamilton, who has won 20 GP races in his career, said McLaren, with teammate and fellow-Briton Jenson Button (sixth position currently), was in a strong position in the world championship and would get better in the season ahead.
"We could have done better in Barcelona, (where he was docked a penalty point and sent to the rear of the grid). But we learn from experience. We are in a strong position and will only get stronger," he said.
Hamilton also said that this year has been the first since 2009 that all teams were more or less equal following changes in the regulations made by world governing body for the sport FIA.
"Every year, FIA is making changes in the regulation since 2009 to make the races closer. This is the best year for all the teams," he said.
Asked about the recent statement of International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge that F1 can never be part of the Games as it was not a contest between humans, Hamilton insisted it was a competition between man and machine.
"I won't respond to it (Rogge statement). It's a competition between man and machine. People are working together," he said.
"Frankly speaking, the concept we are having is the Games are about the competition for the athletes not for equipment. Therefore, while having a lot of respect (for F1), they will not be included into the Olympic programme," the IOC chief from Belgium had said at Silverstone in July after a visit to the British GP event.
Talking about his fourth visit to India on behalf of sponsors Vodafone, Hamilton said in a lighter vein that he may be a Formula One driver, but he cannot even think of driving in Mumbai roads.
"It's a crazy thing, the way vehicles are being manoeuvred, I can never drive here," he said.

The Lady and the Unicorn
by Tracy Chevalier
256pp, HarperCollins, £15
In late-15th century Paris, a parvenu nobleman commissions a set of tapestries to impress the smirking snobs at court. Jean le Viste rather fancies a blood-stained Battle of Nancy, with his newly acquired coat of arms plastered (downright mendaciously) across the shields and standards of the victors. His blue-blooded wife, Geneviève, on the other hand, prefers gentle unicorns and maidens. That suits the tapestries' designer - Nicholas des Innocents, talented artist and handsome slut - down to the ground. He also loves the ladies, and in the myth of the unicorn he sees not white untainted innocence but the chase and the embrace by lascivious virgins of its rampant horn.
By accident or design, Nicholas's sexual fantasies leak into his designs - here is le Viste's wild daughter, Claude, and here Aliénor, the sweet blind daughter of the Brussels weaver; there is the weaver's ambitious wife, Christine, and there - most cheekily - the saintly Geneviève herself.
But it is not just Nicholas's reckless dreams that stitch themselves among the warp and weft. Cartoonists, weavers, dyers, financiers, even those who trim the hem, all add a dash of their own desires to the mix. Thus when the set of tapestries is unrolled there shimmers beneath its brilliant surface another shadowy net of threads, weaving together the loves and longings of all involved.
In her most famous novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Tracy Chevalier focused on Vermeer's immortal portrait, plucking from it a story of creation rich in historically accurate and psychological convincing detail. Chevalier's stroke of genius was to weave together a flair for academic research (she was for many years a reference book editor) with a deeply erotic sensuality. Girl with a Pearl Earring was coolly and precisely researched, and discreetly dripping with unstated sex.
In The Lady and the Unicorn, which will perhaps eclipse Pearl Earring, Chevalier has also fixed upon a great work of art - the six tapestries now housed in the Musée de Cluny, in which the maiden progressively seduces the unicorn with the six senses: hearing, sight, touch, smell, taste, and love. On the academic front, here is the old Chevalier, exact and guarded, accurate and self-contained. Paris and Brussels, circa 1500, stir and stretch themselves before our eyes. On the erotic front, she positively explodes, the shy smiles of Pearl Earring replaced by a terrific torrent of carnal imagery, every sense invoked and appetite exploited.
Chevalier's four novels are all set in the distant past, yet to label her a historical novelist seems not just premature but somehow wrong. Her characters are not tossed about by large well-documented events; it is the machinations of their inner worlds that make the story and then drive the plot. I'm not sure why Chevalier chooses only to expose the secret lives of people who, if they'd ever lived, would be long dead. Yet there is no doubt that the past is a beautiful and somehow apt surround for her tales of human nature, in much the same way that antique settings can add a golden gloss to jewels.

If you ever had a Wharton County Junior College instructor who made a difference in your life, now's the time to publicly say thanks.
A new program – entitled "The Teacher Effect" – will provide alumni and current students with the opportunity to highlight the role a particular instructor played in their life. The purpose is to draw attention to those dedicated educators who oftentimes get overlooked, said Amanda Heard, the college's Internet Marketing Coordinator and overseer of the project.
"Everybody had at least one teacher that had some kind of impact on them and we want to hear those stories," Heard said. "There are so many unsung heroes out there. This is the acknowledgment teachers deserve but so seldom get."
Students will share their stories by filling out an online form. The forms are currently posted on the college's website – www.wcjc.edu – and a link is also provided on the WCJC Facebook page. Stories can also be emailed to Heard at: email@example.com
The stories must focus on a past or present WCJC instructor who taught at one of the college's four campuses: Wharton, Bay City, Sugar Land or Richmond. The Office of Marketing and Communications will review submissions and determine which instructors will be featured.
The program began on March 31 and will run for the next few weeks. Heard is hoping for great participation. She believes it's important to recognize the life-changing impact teachers can have. Her personal experience with an instructor who was particularly encouraging was the driving force behind "The Teacher Effect" concept.
"There's some gems out there who deserve recognition," she said. "It's time for us to highlight those heroes among us."
She further noted that WCJC instructors continue to garner a positive impact on the surrounding community. The college held its first classes in 1946.
"We are really proud of the faculty we have at the college. Many of our instructors have worked here for more than 20 years, which means a lot of lives have been positively touched," Heard said. "There are instructors here who have made a huge difference, not just with one student but with generations throughout our community."

So, my dress is MAYBE just a couple inches too long, and when I try to walk, I end up tripping on it! Thing is, it has this pretty satin trim around the VERY bottom, so I don't want to take it up and have them cut it off.. I've gotten a fairly poofy crinoline thing to go under, but it's still just a little too long. Also, I have to wear flats because groom is a little on the short side, and even in a one-inch heel, I'm taller than him.. Should I just get an even bigger crinoline thing? Help..
