The only thing I love more that having you pound away at my soft pink box is to have you in my mouth. I admit, it is a fetish, but I just cant get enough.
Thats why I came to Nite Flirt, so I can be the dirty little whore I was meant to be without people in my small town passing judgement on me.
I love to feel you grow in my mouth, I love to suck on every inch of your fat cock and I love to gag on it while I look up at you!
My favorite thing of all it so play with my pussy and prep it just in case you want to stick it in me before you let me taste that hot load.
I will be a good girl...
just a taste?

A Vintage Modern Kitchen with Bright, Colorful Accents
Andy and Andrew make a living finding cool mid-century and industrial furniture pieces for their store Ampersand Vintage Modern, so it's no surprise their home, and especially their kitchen, would have a distinctly vintage vibe.
The Danish Modern secretary/bookcase with its citrus-colored book and bowls display is definitely the highlight of the room. (Although the bright blue water cooler in the corner comes in at a close second!) Four red "Real Good" chairs surround a vintage formica and chrome kitchen table and provide the space with a nice burst of color.

Jonathan Walker, 31, was headed for big things, by some accounts, as a tennis player. He disputes that, but it was important to him � too important.
�That had been my goal was to play tennis and get a college scholarship,� Walker said. �I thought that was how I would gain the purpose and identity that I wanted.�
After a career-ending injury and a long detour through alcoholism, though, Walker is doing something more important to him than swatting balls over the net: He is helping other men find their way to a life free of alcohol and drugs in the same program that saved him.
Living Free Ministries is a Christian recovery program in Snow Camp with a thrift store at 521 W. Elm St. , Graham. As many as eight men spend nine months in the small farm house in Snow Camp taking care of animals, taking classes working in the thrift store that helps support the program, and praying.
�Guys come in because of drugs and alcohol,� Walker said, �but we believe that we are here because our relationship with God has been lacking and that�s the reason we�ve had these problems.�
Men come into the ministry after they go through detoxification, said Jay Doss, the Living Free�s founder. Detox just keeps them alive while they spend a week getting sober and past withdrawal, he said. Those who work with addicts will say that getting sober is just the first step.
Staying sober is a life-long effort, as Walker knows well.
He went through two rehabilitation programs before this, a 90-day and a 30-day. He was even sober for better than two years after 2008. An injury led to painkillers, which derailed Walker �s sobriety, and that nearly killed him, he said.
Walker said he has confidence after this program because it is not about him.
�The last time I got sober, the focus was on me and the benefits I could get from it,� Walker said. �This time it�s different.�
Having finished the program in November, Walker is now in leadership servant training.
Doss and his wife Christie did a similar training at the Dunklin Memorial Church program in Okeechobee , Fla. , to learn how to run one of these faith-based recovery programs. Doss said there are more than 20 around the world, but most are on the eastern seaboard of the United States .
Doss did not have a program like this one when he got sober. He found Dunklin a few years ago when he was visited a friend who was going through it.
The Dosses sold their house in Hawfields and moved to Florida for more than a year to train in the program.
Doss said the statistics on the success of recovery are �very subjective,� but believes the long-term, faith-based programs work well. Doss� wife Christie recently pulled the numbers together for a grant application and found nearly 84 percent of the men who have come through Living Free since 2010 are still clean and sober.
�That�s extremely high for recovery,� Doss said.
�One hundred percent of them are without excuses,� Doss said. �They�ve been here for nine months and are in relationship with Christ.�
Another vital part of the program is restoring the family relationships these men have strained or broken through drug abuse, which Doss said is one of the most moving things to see.
The program is very structured, Doss said. The men get up early and do chores on the farm, and about every minute of the day is dedicated to work, study, counseling or prayer.
There is no tobacco, no cellphones and no medications except for things like diabetes or blood pressure. The ministry is not set up to administer detoxification drugs or antidepressants.
�If they complete this program,� Doss said, �for most of them it�s the most structured and disciplined thing they�ve completed in their lives.�
Living Free is a nonprofit organization, so it is always in need of tax-deductible donations. Doss said churches, businesses and individuals around the area and the country contribute to the ministry. It can use more.
The ministry had $318,869 in income in 2011, according to Guidestar, and $274,666 in expenses.
Donations can go to helping men pay the $4,500 for the nine-month program, buying farm animals, Bibles and study materials, or to help with the cost of finishing a building large enough to house 15 men and the classes and programs to help them. There is more information at livingfreeministries.net.
Doss, a general contractor, is directing a lot of the work on that building. He estimates it will take an additional $201,800 to finish it. The men in the program will work on it with him.
�The men who come through it build it,� Doss said. �You�re working so another man can come in the future.�

Roush F150 Project Truck – The Roush Difference
Author: Ken Payne
I fondly remember driving the 2004 F-150 at the press ride and drive before it was in full production. The truck received stares and universal approval as we cruised through the Texas countryside, stopping for meals and drinks (non-alcoholic of course!) along the way. The truck was a real head turner. Well, with 2 years of production under its belt the current F-150 has become commonplace.
Enter the Roush F-150:
The Roush F-150 takes the F-150 to a whole new level. Everywhere I take this truck people turn to get a better look. Drive-through attendants chat with you about it, strangers ask how I like it and best of all, my son thinks I'm driving a race truck!
The current F-150's handling and suspension leap-frogged over the 1997-2003 model. The Roush F-150 takes it even further by lowering the truck 2-inches in the front and 3-inches in the rear with replacement coil and leaf springs; and new shocks, plus a beefier sway bar. The end result is a pickup that handles surprisingly well, corners predictably and snaps tightly without large body roll during quick maneuvers.
The lower, more aggressive look is complemented by Roush's 20 inch chromed 5-spoke wheels, chin spoiler and rear wing. Along with all the other Roush body accents, the overall look is one tough truck that's not loud or garish.
Around the back, Roush's dual exhaust with accented tips gives the truck a pleasant, low note which I find very pleasing, especially when I put the pedal down hard.
Open the doors and you'll see an interior that's second to none with items you just don't find in most pickups. Custom Jack Roush leather seating sporting Jack's embroidered signature, brushed aluminum trim kit, Roush Performance floor mats and custom Roush billet aluminum pedals. Combined with the FX4's already nice interior it gives a ride of luxury. This ain't your Grandpa's cowboy Cadillac!
The great thing about Roush Performance is the availability of so many custom options to fit nearly any budget, not just the items we have on our Roush F-150. Whether you're buying a Stage 3 Roush F-150 at a Roush authorized Ford dealer, or you want to add a few parts to your truck, you're covered. For those accessorizing their current truck (or Mustang!), be sure to check out http://www.roushparts.com. Tell them we sent you! We certainly enjoy our Roush truck and we're sure you'll feel the same about anything you purchase from them.
While discussing this, I'd like to take a moment to compliment Craig "Hootie" Hooten and Gwinnett Place Ford for the excellent service they provided us. Gwinnett Place Ford is a Roush dealer, and we were treated extremely well. If you live in Georgia I recommend you check them out, and ask for Hootie if you get the chance! If you're into hoops you're in for some great conversation (he played in college), and he'll give your business a personal touch not often found in the car business. Between personal and business needs, I've purchased 3 Ford's from Gwinnett Place since 1998 and unless I move I'm likely to buy more from them as well. Expect great personal service (Hootie even wrote a personal letter thanking us). If you're in the market for a Roush Ford, or any Ford give these folks a call.
What do we have planned for this truck? Well, we don't want to tip our hand too much so for now we'll say we have both power and appearance enhancements in the works. Look for our first power article next week, we'll be adding an intake system.

|(Photo by Path Less Pedaled)
If you are at all a fan of traveling by bike, you should be following what Path Less Pedaled are up to. The full interview is up here on LA Streesblog.
In order to keep the word count a little more manageable I didn't end up including every question and answer, but I'll post up a little bonus material here.
Gary -- In-between other adventures you appear to be gravitated toward staying in Portland Oregon now. What is the draw of Portland that keeps you going back after seeing and staying in so many other places?
Laura -- the biggest draw for me is that Oregon is home. Its' where I grew up and I always wanted to go back. We used to spend a lot of time traveling there for vacation and wondered what it would be like to live there.
Russ -- The real active bike scene. It's kind of the epicenter o biking in so many ways, and it is appealing to be part of that. On this break we really want to explore the concept of bicycle travel and tourism and Oregon seems to be the most active place in the country that i is actively promoting bicycle touring. They're launching a bicycle touring program that is trying to make Oregon one of the top cycle touring destinations in the country.
LC -- The coffee and the beer are the icing.
RR -- But not the rain. You have to come back to Southern California every few months or so for the sun.
LC -- There are two coping strategies. 1) Leave every once and awhile for the sun. 2) Realize there is no such thing as waterproof, you will get wet. Bring a change of clothes. Also the coffee and beer of course.
(Following the questions I planned for the interview, Russ and Laura also went a little further into thoughts about the Otago Central Rail Trail. A long decommissioned rail corridor that was converted into a bike trial, that was one of major highlights of their trip, and a great example of bikenomics in action. -GK)
RR -- We're also working on a new presentation on bicycle touring and travel. New Zealand was kind of a fact finding trip to see what works as far as encouraging bike travel and bring some of those ideas back so bike advocates here can be inspired.
The rail trail was kind of an ideal example where bikes helped rural communities in a tangible way. It wasn't theoretical at all. When you say that in the United States, things are on such a large scale, it isn't as obvious there are communities thriving on bike paths.
Ironically we talked to the woman who was the chair of the rail trail trust which was put together 18 years ago, and the reason she joined the trust originally was because of a rail rail in the United States she saw in a National Geographic Article. She said the funny part was it was almost complete except for one mile that went through a farmers property that wouldn't let it go through. So she kept all the New Zealand farmers in the loop so they wouldn't feel left out.
LC -- The thing I liked the most about the Otago Trail is that when they started it nearly 20 years ago it wasn't from a lets make money off of cyclists angle, it was looking for something that was worthwhile for people who live out here. They had no idea that people would come out there and ride it. It has taken everybody by complete surprise. So they're even more grateful for the way that it has positively affected towns in the whole area.
It was an incredible feeling that everyone wanted to do it because it was the right thing to do for the community. The financial benefits of it were a fantastic after-effect that was not the motivating factor. Its' not that it cant be the motivating factor but there's something nice about how everybody is so honest in their appreciation of you being there.

Cannon beach is a great place to visit, even during the wetter, winter months. As locals, we have some tactics for getting over the weather so we can enjoy ourselves. Here are some tips for an enjoyable, peaceful and affordable winter trip to Cannon Beach:
Cannon Beach Lodging with an Ocean View
Since the weather might play up, we recommend picking one of our bed and breakfast rooms with an ocean view. Some of our favorites are the Ginger, Gauguin and Parisian, although you can watch the sea from the majority of our rooms.
Avoid the Crowds
As a writer for the Dallas Morning News put it: "Trade in the shorts and flip flops for rubber boots and rain gear," and an off-season weekend in Cannon Beach will be unlike any other 'beach vacation' you've taken. Prices drop, parking is easier and townspeople (including innkeepers!) have more time to talk with you.
Get to know Cannon Beach like a Local
"In winter, it's a different town," say many residents and business owners. After a summer that can attract 10,000 people a day, the town becomes nice and quiet.
But many of the attractions that bring tourists to Cannon Beach during the summer months can be enjoyed during this time of year as well. Dramatic ocean scenery, hiking trails through towering evergreen forests and neighborhoods filled with boutiques, bookstores and art galleries do not disappear after Labor Day!
Many business owners, as happy as we are to have brisk business, look forward to the fall as a time when we can ease back into living in a small town with a population of 1,700.
A Room with a Fireplace
Wait out storms with a blazing fireplace to keep you cozy. Need a break from life? Busy summer vacations rarely afford a lot of down time. So parents and couples, take an affordable weekend getaway to Cannon beach and get to know each other again by firelight, with the sound of rain pattering on your window. See our couple's special at the bottom of our Cannon Beach activities page (use link above).
We hope you might consider a winter vacation to the Oregon Coast. It will be different than what you expect.

I have a quite meager student income, and looking for ways to increase it a bit (to buy more flashlights ), and was thinking about buying some stock.
I havent done any research at all yet, but with the latest creevolution it's hard not to considering buying some Cree shares. Do you think I missed the train, or will the stock rise more? Any other CPFs who has bought some shares?

About the Pemaquid Point Cam. The camera location is provided courtesy of the Sea Gull Restaurant and Shop. The camera is normally pointed a little west of due south and overlooks the town of Bristol's Lighthouse Park and the Gulf of Maine beyond. The tower is 38 feet tall, and the focal plane of the light is at 79 feet above sea level. The light is a fully functional Coast Guard operated navigation aid that flashes a single white flash every 6 seconds. The grounds around the light are approximately 35 feet above sea level. The beautiful rock formations seen on many photographs of the light are just out of the view of the camera.

Forking An Ebuild
Often, a Funtoo developer needs to fork an upstream ebuild. This is necessary when we want to apply fixes to it. This page will explain the concepts of forking and how this works in the context of Funtoo.
Portage Tree Generation
Funtoo Linux generates its Portage tree using a special script that essentially takes a Gentoo tree as its starting point, and then applies various modifications to it. The modifications involve adding packages from various overlays, including our Funtoo-overlay. Some packages added are brand new, while other packages are our special forked versions that replace existing packages.
In the vast majority of cases, when we fork a package, we take full responsibility for all ebuilds associated with that package, meaning that we have a full copy of the sys-foo/bar directory in one of our overlays.
If you're interested in seeing the actual script that does all these things, take a look at the following files:
- http://git.funtoo.org/funtoo-overlay/tree/funtoo/scripts/current-update.sh
- cronned script that calls merge.py.
- http://git.funtoo.org/funtoo-overlay/tree/funtoo/scripts/merge.py
- python script that does the heavy lifting of combining Gentoo tree with various overlays, including our flora and funtoo-overlay. When we want to change what overlays we merge, what packages we exclude as a matter of policy (such as stale packages in some overlays), we make changes to this file.
- http://git.funtoo.org/funtoo-overlay/tree/funtoo/scripts/merge_utils.py
- python module that contains classes and methods that implement the merging functionality.
Forking an Ebuild
In general, we fork ebuilds from Gentoo that we want to modify in some way. Before you fork an ebuild, it's important to understand that in general we fork entire packages, not just a single ebuild. This means that if you want to make some changes to sys-foo/bar, you are going to fork all sys-foo/bar ebuilds, and then Funtoo will be responsible for continuing to maintain these ebuilds until the package is unforked. Here are the steps we would use to fork sys-foo/bar:
- Find sys-foo/bar in you regular Portage tree. Make sure you have run emerge --sync recently to ensure it is up-to-date. If you want to fork from very recent changes that are not yet in our tree, you may need to grab the most recent Gentoo Portage tree to serve as your source for sys-foo/bar (this typically isn't necessary.)
# alias to recursively grab latest from Gentoo Portage tree WITHOUT history # usage: getgen gentoo-x86/dev-db/mongodb alias getgen="cvs -d :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/var/cvsroot export -D$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')"
- Copy the sys-foo/bar directory in its entirety to funtoo-overlay/sys-foo/bar.
- Make any necessary modifications to funtoo-overlay/sys-foo/bar.
- Perform some funtoo-ification steps prior to commit.
- Add and commit the changes to funtoo-overlay.
- Push changes to funtoo-overlay.
At this point, the forked sys-foo/bar package will be part of funtoo-overlay. The next time our unified Portage tree is generated by merge.py (the one that users have in their /usr/portage and is updated via emerge --sync), your forked ebuild will be used in place of the Gentoo ebuild. Why is this? It is because our merge.py script has been defined with a policy that any ebuilds in funtoo-overlay will replace any existing Gentoo ebuilds if they exist. The mechanism of replacement is that our sys-foo/bar directory will be used in place of Gentoo's sys-foo/bar directory. So this is how the forking process works.
When we fork a package from Gentoo, we perform the following tweaks to the package directory before committing:
- Removal of ChangeLog.
- Run ebuild foo-1.0.ebuild digest before committing. This will cause the Manifest file to be regenerated. Gentoo has a lot more entries in this file than we do, since we use mini-Manfiests that only include DIST listings (for distfiles only.) We want to commit our mini-Manifest (still called Manifest, just with less entries in it) rather than the one that came from Gentoo.
- Edit the top of each ebuild, and remove all Copyright and $Header: lines at the top of the file. We have a LICENSE.txt and COPYRIGHT.txt file in the root of our Portage tree, which is easier to maintain than keeping all the years up-to-date in each ebuild. Also, the $Header: line is there for the CVS version control system in Gentoo which Funtoo does not use. The only comment that should remain on the top of the ebuild is the one stating that it is distributed under the GPLv2..
# If you find yourself doing this often, place this function in your .bashrc, .zshrc, etc funtooize() { if [ -z "$1" ]; then search_path='.' else search_path=$1 fi find $search_path -type f -exec sed -i -e '/^# Copyright\|^# \$Header/d' {} + find $search_path -type f -name "ChangeLog*" -delete find $search_path -type f -name '*.ebuild' -and -not -name '*-9999.ebuild' -exec ebuild {} manifest \; }
Here are a few additional changes that you are allowed to make to any forked ebuilds:
- Line length greater than 80 characters. Gentoo enforces an 80-character line length limit. We don't.
- KEYWORDS of * and ~*. Gentoo does not allow these shortcuts. We do. They allow you to say "all arches" and "all unstable arches" in a concise way. Gentoo doesn't allow these shortcuts because it's Gentoo's policy to have each arch team manually approve each package. We do not have this policy so we can use the shortcuts.
- Use of 4-python EAPI. We allow the use of this EAPI for enhanced python functionality.

Oct. 28, 2006
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. - MIT placed all of its scorers among the top eight finishers and showcased eight of the top 14 individual performances in a dominating victory at the 2006 NEWMAC Cross Country Championships. The Engineers remained unscathed at the league championship, winning the race for the ninth consecutive year.
Coast Guard senior Mike Flint and MIT sophomore Jake Ruzevick entered Saturday's meet as the pre-race favorites and their one-two finish solidified their positions as the top two distance runners in the conference. Although Flint pulled away en route to NEWMAC Runner of the Year honors, Ruzevick's runner-up finish sparked a dominating team effort by the Cardinal and Gray.
Driving, windy rains significantly slowed race times across the board. Ruzevick crossed the finish line in 27:02 to earn second in the 110-runner field, while junior Joe Roy-Mayhew continued his strong season-ending surge by finishing fourth overall behind a clip of 27:19.
For the sixth consecutive Fall, MIT sponsored the league's Rookie of the Year. Finishing fifth overall on Saturday, freshman Johannes Schneider took top rookie honors for the 2006 season. Senior Kevin Brulois finished seventh, while freshman Jake Bourbannais capped the MIT scoring with an eighth-place finish.
The Engineers continued well beyond their scoring contingency, getting a 10th-place effort from sophomore Trevor Rundell, a 12th-place effort from junior Chris Bruce, and a 14th-place finish from junior Chris Wong.
MIT finished with 26 points en route to the team title, while Coast Guard finished second after out-dueling Springfield by one point (63-64).

-Three important looking guys in suits smiled
-One security guard laughed
Another security guard told me, "That sign. You can't have that." I asked why not, and he didn't have an answer. He said, "If you hold it up again, I will escort you out." He came down to my seat 5 minutes later and said, "I got the okay. You can hold it up. Sorry about that."
I'm happy as hell right now. Everyone ****ing hates Pioli.
And all those people will be fired in the morning. Nice going!

Today I'm taking a look at the sublime efforts of Alex, Tobie, Rich, Sam & Briony, collectively known as "The Omnishambles" and more importantly their gaming focused YouTube channel of the same name.
Good work with Source film maker, I can't wrap my head around that thing.
Not bad, especially the Source video, I wouldn't have the patience!! Nice bit of ADM on that Gta4 vid also :)

Like soccer fans around the world, our offices have been buzzing in the mornings with the sounds of the EURO 2012 Championship on various TVs. Friday afternoon, shortly after England defeated Sweden 3-2, there was another round of excitement in the air when we learned that the Colorado Rapids were represented at that match.
Emily Kilcoyne, our Manager of Group Sales, received the photo above from Rapids season ticket holder Haim Lensky. From left to right: Mike, Vicky, and Haim hold up the Rapids' MLS Champion flag at Olympic Stadium in Kyiv (Ukraine), with the Sweden-England scarf above.
"It's been a great experience," Haim wrote via email. "We met people from all over Europe and we have loved being at every game screaming and cheering for the teams."
Haim is from Russia and won the ticket lottery last year to attend the tournament. The family is of course supporting Russia, but also England, Spain, and Ukraine. And if you're ready to be jealous, read on...
So far, they've attended the England-France (T 1-1), Netherlands-Germany (GER 2-1), and today's England-Sweden matches.
"The games have been crazy and the fans have definitely been dedicated to their respective teams" he wrote.
The Lensky's will also be attending: Sweden-France, and the Quarterfinal matches in Donetsk and Kiev, the Semifinal in Kiev, and the 2012 Final in Donetsk.
"We are definitely having fun," he concludes.
Glad to hear, and thanks for bringing a little bit of Colorado and the Rapids with you!

I am using code posted here
to get family, model and stepping of CPU. My CPU is:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
The code returns for CPU above:
Family 15, Model 15, Stepping 0
When I check using WMIC (wmic cpu get caption), I get:
Family 15 Model 31 Stepping 0
The CPU model is different. I have found an another article to get CPU info here:
This tool has three different methods to get CPU info and my results are:
Registry: Family: 15 Model: 31 Stepping: 0
SDK: Family: 15 Model: 31 Stepping: 0
Assembly: Family 15, Model 15, Stepping 0
As you can see that results of Registry and SDK methods are same but Assembly method is returning incorrect model.
It seems when value of model or family is 15, then you have to check for extended model & extended family also. After adding few extra lines at code posted here:
cpu_extended_model = 0xf &(cpuid_registers.eax >> 16);
cpu_extended_family = 0xf &(cpuid_registers.eax >> 20);
I am getting:
extended family : 0
extended model : 1
My question is how do you get correct model, family and stepping of a CPU?

Making Sense of College Aid
Cole Schenewerk has a tough choice ahead of him.
The high-school senior from El Cajon, Calif., already has gotten an acceptance packet from Southern Methodist University and a preliminary scholarship offer from an Ivy League college. And he is still waiting to hear from seven other schools, which he expects will dangle a variety of financial-aid offers.

Story - 33 : TRUE
This story is when the five Pandavas used to study in the ashram of Guru
Dronacharya. One day Guru Dronacharya taught them to always tell the truth
and never tell a lie and, said to remember this throughout their life. He
also told them to memorize a certain lesson. The next day the Guru made
them stand and turn by turn, memorizing the lesson. All the students
memorized the lesson. When it was Yudhister's turn he said, "Guru, I could
not learn the lesson". The Guru punished Yudhister and taught the others
another lesson. For twenty days Yudhister said the same thing. On the
twenty-first day, the Guru said angrily, "Oh Yudhister, you are a fool.
Could you not learn the small lesson till now". Yudhister said, "Guru,
when you taught to always tell the truth and never tell a lie, I always
tell the truth. But, I could not make my words fully true till now. How
can I say that I have learnt lesson? Only repeating the line is not
learning the lesson, but to follow it, is true study". Then, Guru
Dronacharya said, "Oh my son Yudhister, you are a very clever student".

Everything you need to know about the young man carrying the expectations for the UCF football team this season resides in his iPod.
Before every game, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles meditates on certain melodies that prepare his mind to engage in gridiron combat.
You Belong to Me. Mean. Eyes Open. Love Story. Enchanted and "Ours" is Bortles' favorite.
"Taylor Swift on shuffle, every song," Bortles said with no hint of a giggle in his voice. "As weird as it is, I like Taylor Swift. Have you ever heard that before?"
A country pop star known for teenage love songs serving as pregame football hype music? That might be a first.
His musical journey always ends with the punk rock football anthem "New Noise," the song featured in the movie "Friday Night Lights." The booming bass and cutting guitar riffs from the Swedish hardcore punk rock group are the last sounds he wants to hear before running into the tunnel.
These are the two sides of 20-year-old Bortles. One part of him is a laid-back country guy who likes peaceful fishing trips with his friends. The other side of him is a tenacious competitor who might sling a ping-pong paddle toward his father if he loses.
"He really struggles with losing," Bortles' dad, Rob, said with a chuckle. "And that drives him."
The Knights are counting on Bortles' disdain for losing this season. UCF finished a disappointing 5-7 2011 season before Bortles, a redshirt sophomore, was named as the starting quarterback.
College coaches weren't exactly blowing up his phone before his senior year at Oviedo High School. A few coaches even asked him to consider competing as a tight end. He was a solid 235-pound, 6-foot-4 athlete.
Bortles kept an open mind even though his heart was set on becoming a college quarterback. After all, he was a running back and linebacker when he played Pop Warner football. He was a freshman in high school before he ever took his first snap as a quarterback. With no incumbent quarterbacks at Oviedo, coaches asked Bortles to take the job.
"They figured since I played baseball, I could throw obviously," Bortles said. "So they were like `You gotta play quarterback.' I wasn't happy about it, either, but I was like, `Alright, I'll do it.'"
It was a prudent choice. Bortles set new Seminole County career records for passing yards (5,576) and touchdowns (53) by the time he completed his high school career.
UCF coaches recognized his talent early on and wanted him to compete as a quarterback. Bortles committed early and never swayed.
"We're big on the integrity side, so he stuck with his word because he got calls after that, about 10-12 different guys were asking [about him]," Rob Bortles said.
It took a little while before UCF coaches saw the passionate competitive streak Rob Bortles knew his son had.
There is a chart tracking ping pong wins and losses in the Bortles household. The score is about 20-1, with the younger Bortles taking the lead.
Neither Bortles men like to lose. Rob Bortles will claim ownership of that trait.
"He gets his focus and calmness from [his mom]," said Rob Bortles, who played linebacker for Georgia Southern from 1981-85. "I can be too emotional."
But more emotion is exactly what offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe was looking for out of Bortles last spring. He initially thought Bortles was aloof and nonchalant.
"Last spring, I was like where is this guy coming from? He's got all the talent but I don't see the passion," Taaffe said. "But as we got into the fall and last season and I got to know him better and realize this is who he is, I saw he's driven internally and he doesn't show it so much on the exterior."
Taaffe was reminded of that inner spark the other day when he ran a 'Wild Knight' package that calls for receiver Rob Calabrese to switch roles with Bortles.
"I heard him say, 'Now I get to go out and block somebody,'" Taaffe said. "So he's a competitor."
And one that just so happens to love Taylor Swift. A lot.
"I swear. I have a poster of her in my room," Bortles said.
He claims he's not alone in his adoration of Swift, citing running back Latavius Murray and punter Jamie Boyle as big fans too.
A little levity can't hurt during a season already complicated by an NCAA postseason ban. UCF is appealing the penalty, which means the Knights still could play for a Conference USA championship. Players are eager to prove to themselves and to the fans just how good UCF can be as the school prepares for its transition to the Big East Conference in 2013.
And Bortles is just the man for the job.
"Nothing rattles Blake and that's the best thing about him," Calabrese said. "That's what you need from a quarterback. When things go bad, we look to him and he's calm. The guys really respect that."

The Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa, an ultra modern deco hotel built in 2010, is downtown Miami's newest boutique hot spot offering guests impeccable service and exquisite luxury.
As Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Splash Magazines Worldwide, when I find a hidden treasure I feel it is my duty to inform my readers and provide them with the information they need to make informed wise decisions.
During my recent trip to Miami Swim Fashion Week, I needed to find accommodations in or near Miami's South Beach. After doing my standard extensive Google research, I found and booked a room at Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa and am very glad that I did.
My stay at Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa was amazing, comfortable, classy, high end and worthwhile. The room I had was very comfortable, large and full of the latest amenities.
amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE, Casa Moderna's convenient restaurant offered delicious food both day and night. You can read my full review of amuse RESTAURANT & LOUNGE here.
The Spa Casa Moderna Miami, a state of the art rejuvenating spa, provided me with one of the best massages, given by Gene McKevie, I ever had. You can read my full review of Spa Casa Moderna Miami here.
The swimming pools, jacuzzi and deck were beautiful, the gym complete, the views breathing and I only wish I had had more days to spend there to experience more that this great hotel has to offer.
Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa has set a new standard in luxury as an ultra-modern hotel experience in Downtown Miami, complemented by stunning architecture, plush perks and service that exceeded all my expectations. The Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa offers 56 lavish, well-appointed rooms and suites.
Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa has breathtaking views of Miami's Biscayne Bay as well as two original renditions that grace the building's exterior: Arquitectonica's "Biscayne Beacon", glowing by night atop the tower's spire, and Tom Patti's "Miami Rain", augmenting the tower's North and West facades.
My accommodations at The Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa were as breathtaking as the view. Being a technology nut, I found the ultra modern and technology controlled suites particularly engaging. The deluxe suite had all the amenities one would expect of a luxurious, well appointed boutique hotel and more.
There was lots of gadgetry. I liked the switch that controlled communication with room service, no more cards to hang.
I loved the television embedded in the huge bathroom mirror! There was a separate bathtub in the same glass enclosure as the amazing shower which had a huge rain head as well as a hand held shower head.
Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa had very elegant, friendly guests.
As far as location and travel time, from Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa it takes less than ten minutes to get to South Beach, just across the bridge.
Over all, I loved the Casa Moderna Miami Hotel & Spa and would recommend it to anyone! It is sleek, sexy, ultra modern with impeccable service, dining and luxurious facilities.

How to build your own mini-PC
The Raspberry Pi is extremely small, consumes almost no electricity and is extremely affordable at 35 euros. We tell you how to set up the mini-PC and extract the maximum. From "PC Magazine" author Tim Kaufmann
The MiniPC Raspberry Pi can do much: time he is a NAS, sometimes an IP surveillance camera or a media center with XBMC. We'll tell you where the differences between the various models are and what hardware you need for your own system. A whole PC for 35 Euro - no wonder that invites experimentation and tinkering. Hardly a day goes by that does not create a new, cool project, based on a Raspberry Pi. But what makes this piece of hardware really so useful? The Raspberry Pi is a little something like squaring the circle. He is extremely small, consumes almost no electricity is affordable at 35 € and yet so powerful that a graphical desktop including Office software runs on it. Leisurely, yes, but it runs. The heart of the Raspberry Pi is an ARM-based CPU. This means that Windows will not run on it. Instead, Linux is used as operating system. But this is less of a problem than you might think now. Because the hardware is fixed, there are virtually no problems with drivers and other things that might make it difficult to start. You can concentrate on your (maybe) first steps with the still foreign operating system, therefore. In addition, around the Raspberry Pi is a lively community is created that gives advice and assistance. In the gallery, we are in cooperation with the "PC Magazine" show, you know what Raspberry Pi Models are and what accessories you absolutely need.
Power Supply
Essential Accessories: The Raspberry Pi requires a 5V power supply with Micro-USB port. Theoretically, ranging from many mobile phone power supplies. But many of them deliver their power not from stable, which can lead to quite puzzling failure of the Raspberry Pi. Good experiences we have had with this power supply for about 10 euros.
Essential Accessories: SD-Card. If you for Raspberry Pi B + grab (he has 4 instead of 2 USB ports), you have to rely on a microSD card. Although theoretically enough a 4-gigabyte card. We advise you to at least 8 or better still 16 GB. Price makes it almost from nothing. The larger cards but keep longer because they contain more memory cells.
Essential Accessories: duty is a plastic housing into which you plug the Raspberry Pi. It protects the electronics from static electricity, among other things. An HDMI cable and a keyboard you need at least during installation. In addition, it is another PC (Windows, Mac or Linux) that has a card reader.
USB hard drive
What else do you donate a small PC to hardware depends on the application. Do you want to store larger amounts of data, a USB hard disk is recommended. This requires either a separate power supply or you have using a USB hub that has a power supply, connect to the Raspberry Pi.
for around 30 euros you get a camera module for the Raspberry Pi, either as a night vision camera and optional with camera housing.WLAN & Bluetooth
A very popular accessory for the Raspberry Pi are also Wi-Fi adapter and Bluetooth adapters that are connected to the USB port (about 10 euros per).
If you want to overclock the CPU of his Raspberry Pi, should also attach the heat sink available (about 2 euros).UPS
In general: There is almost nothing that does not exist for the Raspberry Pi as an accessory. Even uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is available for some months. This is useful for example when used as a car PC.

Recognising that migration is an overall reality in society today, and aware that migration is posing challenges to societies, political institutions and churches, CEC and CCME are planning a European Year of Churches focussing on migration. During this year, churches activities for migration and integration, asylum and refugees and against racism and discrimination shall be made more visible through joint activities, a joint calendar of meetings and at least four regional meetings. The study "Mapping Migration in Europe – Mapping Churches' Responses" provides a starting point.
The European Year of churches responding to migration 2010 shall also assist churches to share their good experience, to strengthen existing work, and to identify possible new areas of work to become more effective in pursuing the aims of inclusive societies in Europe and welcoming the strangers.

Not that anyone who loves the Jonas Brothers really needs any extra holiday spirit, but the boys in the band are always going the extra mile for their fans, and they just did it again with this year's videotaped holiday message.
In the clip, sensibly titled 'Jonas Brothers Holiday Message 2012,' the brothers reflect on all the stuff they did in 2012 — including a tour and some time in the recording studio, as well as plenty of solo activity for the individual Jonases. As Nick put it, "We've really enjoyed seeing your faces this year. We've had a pretty amazing year, thanks to all of you with being able to go back on tour together, play shows again, be in the studio. Kevin with 'Married to Jonas.' Joe with his solo record and all that happened there."
Nick, of course, starred in a Broadway revival of 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,' but he brushed past Kevin's attempt to talk about it. "It was a great year, but the most important thing for us is being back together, creating music again for all of you," he continued. "And we're definitely looking forward to continuing to do that for many, many years to come."
And what can fans expect from the new record, due in 2013? As Nick told MTV in October, "The vibe right now that we're trying to create, we've had kind of a really memorable … career we're really thankful for up until this time, [and now we're] hoping to create an experience for our fans that is really personal and shows a little bit deeper look into what our lives have been like, as far as lyrics. But musically we're trying to push ourselves and continue to grow and get better."

Last week, editors at Politico posed two questions to an online panel to which I contribute: "ACORN: Underplayed or overblown?" and "Will the Dems ever get their act together on healthcare?"
The two are intimately connected by a simple proposition: "Most people want more housing and health care than they can afford." Of course, for "housing" or "health care" one could substitute whatever one wishes: food, clothing, cars, education, entertainment, vacations, you name it. Economists call this the problem of scarcity, and it's the beginning of economics.
In a free society, most individuals, families, and firms will deal with that problem through such homely measures as creating and husbanding wealth, planning for the future, and living within their means. Some, however, will be indifferent to such discipline and will demand more than they can afford. Enter thus ACORN and the Dems – the party of government. ACORN, like our president, is in the "community organizing" business – a euphemism for putting (some) people in a position to better demand things from government. Some of those demands are perfectly legitimate: reduce crime; fix the potholes. But others, the demands ACORN specializes in, are not thus "common." They can be satisfied, in a world of scarcity, only by taking from some and giving to others.
And that's what the housing and health care debates today are largely about. And it's why on both, the Dems are having difficulty getting their act together, because however much they turn a blind eye toward scarcity or pretend that they all agree, the truth is that they represent discrete constituencies, with discrete conflicting interests. That's what happens when we're all thrown into the common pot. What once was decided by individuals, reflecting their own particular interests, is now decided by government – and it's a Hobbesian war of all against all.
The AP report on ACORN last week illustrated that nicely. ACORN has been in the forefront of those browbeating banks, under the Community Reinvestment Act, to provide housing loans to people who couldn't afford them. Banks were reluctant to make those loans, of course – until the government stepped in to "guarantee" them. Well, we've seen where that ended: we're all paying the price, especially those who couldn't afford the homes in the first place, and will be for years to come. AEI's Peter Wallison details some of that fiasco in this morning's Wall Street Journal, placing a finger on none other than Barney Frank, who parades now as our savior.
But the same something-for-nothing mindset is at work in the health care debate. Here again, many people want more health care than they can afford, which means that someone else will have to pay for it – the government having nothing except what it takes from us. The pretense that it is otherwise – or that they can redistribute more equitably than the market does – is what drives the Dems to their pie-in-the-sky schemes – until some among them realize that it is they and their constituents who are being taken for a ride. At that point, either the recalcitrant are silenced, with some temporary sop, or the bottom falls out of the scheme, which is what many of us are hoping for here. If not, the housing debacle will prove in time to be a pale harbinger of the health care debacle, at least for those who live to see it.

So I've been playing around with LISP lately in order to develop an appreciation for functional programming.
Now I've come into a problem I can't solve. Here is the scenario. I want to write a function that takes two lists - both lists contain words. The idea is for the function to output the list of words that appear in the first list, but don't appear in the second list.
Expected output:
(filter '(1 2 3 4 5) '(3 4))
> (1 2 5)
I've made an attempt and here's my progress so far:
- Code: Select all
(defun filter (lst items-to-filter)
(cond ((null lst) nil)
((not (member (first lst) items-to-filter)) (cons (first lst) '() ) )
(t (filter (cdr lst) items-to-filter))))
My output is only (1) when it should be (1 2 5). Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Last week international agility competitor Elicia Calhoun and six of her dogs were headed home from a competition when tragedy struck. Elicia fell asleep at the wheel and hit an 18-wheeler truck, causing her SUV to roll over several times and her dogs to be ejected from the car.
Elicia was taken to the hospital but checked out early (with a punctured lung!) to look for her missing pups. Fortunately she had a lot of support helping her through this difficult time.
The agility community was amazing, organizing search groups, spreading the word on Facebook, and raising over $13,000 for Elicia. I heard many generous stories, such as people banding together to pay for a helicopter search, a Arizona couple flying their plane to look for the missing pups, and a group from Texas bringing horses to help in the rescue efforts.
The Facebook group that was created to aid in the search is now being used as a forum to talk about safe car restraints for pets, creating emergency information cards, and preventing drowsy driving. A lot of good will come out of this tragedy.
My crew rides in wire kennels, but thanks to this group, I've learned that the doors can pop open on impact and the dogs can be ejected. I've seen quite a few people say they bought sturdier crates or pet seatbelts after hearing about this accident.
Thankfully Elicia was conscious after the crash, but the situation sparked a discussion on having emergency information for each of your dogs. Some people have shared templates, but Bark Buckle Up also has a free Pet Safety Kit that features a decal pointing rescue workers to emergency cards in the glove compartment.
Finally, falling asleep at the wheel is something that could happen to any of us, particularly those who do a lot of early morning and late night driving to and from dog shows. The Live to Run Again web site has safety tips on preventing drowsy driving. They also organize a library of free books on tape at agility trials around the nation.
While the accident was tragic, it brought together a community and inspired many people to reevaluate the way they travel with their pets.

Boston Scientific Corp. said it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its Ingenio and Advantio pacemakers and Invive cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers.
The Natick-based company launched the devices immediately, and the first implant of an Ingenio model in the U.S. was performed May 3 at the Cleveland Clinic.
The Ingenio and Advantio pacemakers are designed to address a condition in which the heart fails to regulate its rate appropriately, resulting in tiredness and shortness of breath during daily activities. The Ingenio pacemaker has an additional feature that monitors respiration, while the Invive offers comprehensive diagnostics around heart failure.
The pacemakers are intended for use with Boston Scientific's new Latitude Remote Patient Management system, which is now under FDA review. The system is designed to monitor patients between doctor's visits and send data on clinical events directly to doctors over landline or wireless networks.
The three new pacemakers received regulatory approval and launched in Europe last month.

With springtime approaching, many motorhome travelers will begin preparing for the 2012 travel season. Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), an international organization for motorhome owners, realizes that destination planning and prepping the motorhome will be high-priority tasks.
But it's also a time of year when scores of owners begin to look for a new towed vehicle to pull behind the motorhome during their travels. The need for a second vehicle that can be flat-towed is the reason Family Motor Coaching magazine, the official publication of FMCA, began producing its annual "Towables" guides in 1999.
Family Motor Coaching's annual "Towables" guide takes the guesswork out of finding a vehicle that can be towed four wheels down. It offers valuable advice to motorhome owners regarding vehicle selection, making sure it is outfitted with the proper towing equipment, and how to safely tow it.
The "Towables For 2012" guide is available to FMCA members and Family Motor Coaching magazine subscribers. It can be found in the January 2012 issue of Family Motor Coaching and online at http://www.FMCmagazine.com/motor-home-towing-guides. The guide includes 137 model-year 2012 vehicles from 21 different manufacturers that have been approved to be towed four wheels down behind a motorhome.
The main chart lists vehicles — by manufacturer — that have been approved for recreational towing. The chart also includes pertinent information for each towable automobile, such as the type of transmission (automatic or manual) that the vehicle must be equipped with so that it can be towed; the drive configuration (front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive); whether any speed restrictions or distance limitations are involved when the vehicle is being towed; and the approximate curb weight and length for the base model of the vehicle.
Addendums let potential buyers know whether fuses must be pulled before a vehicle can be towed to prevent battery drain; denote special instructions for running the vehicle for a certain time period before, during, or after it is towed; and specify transfer case options that may prohibit a vehicle from being towed.
For more information about FMCA or to join the organization, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2013, contact the Membership Services Department at (800) 543-3622 or visit http://www.FMCA.com.

Edmunds' Expert Review
The 2007 Nissan Frontier is a top pick in the midsize pickup class, thanks to its rugged chassis, brawny drivetrain and long list of useful features.
vehicle overview
Americans love their pickups. This is a nation in which for decades, the best-selling vehicle has been a truck. Though the market has long been dominated by domestics, foreign nameplates have made inroads, turning out quality products that have justly won fans. One of these quality products is the Nissan Frontier.
The 2007 Nissan Frontier is cut from the same cloth as its larger sibling, the Nissan Titan. It shares that truck's beefy lines and pugnacious stance, as well as its suite of well-thought-out features. The Frontier offers a useful bed channel tie-down system, factory-applied spray-in bedliner and a fully boxed frame that's tough enough to handle a steady diet of rocks and gravel.
Buyers of this midsize Nissan pickup may choose between extended cab (known as King Cab) and crew cab configurations. A regular-cab version of the Frontier is not available. Frontier Crew Cabs are the same length as their King Cab counterparts, but they offer greater utility via a more spacious backseat and forward-hinged rear doors. All this comes at the expense of some bed space; however for 2007, SE and LE Crew Cabs are available in long-bed configuration, with a 6-foot, 1-inch bed that's more than a foot longer than the standard crew cab bed. All Frontiers offer split-folding rear seats that fold into an upright position, making it easy to transport cargo in the cabin. The pickup's interior is comfortable, but there's a bit more hard plastic than we'd expect from a truck in this price range.
We generally recommend that buyers opt for this Nissan's top engine -- a 4.0-liter V6 with 261 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque, as it provides ample torque underfoot in any situation. The brawny drivetrain also allows the pickup truck to haul up to 6,300 pounds when equipped with the towing package.
With smart features, abundant power and a rugged disposition, the V6-equipped Nissan Frontier ranks at the top of its class. Still, if you're shopping for a small truck, you'd be remiss not to try the Frontier's chief rival, the Toyota Tacoma. The Toyota isn't as forgiving to drive on pavement and its cabin isn't as functional or comfortable, but it's a bit quicker than the Frontier (because of its lower curb weight) and has higher-quality interior materials. Although the 2007 Nissan Frontier is our first choice for a midsize pickup, there's no going wrong with either of these excellent trucks.
2007 Nissan Frontier configurations
A midsize pickup truck, the 2007 Nissan Frontier is available in two body styles: extended cab (known as King Cab) and crew cab. Additionally, there are four trim levels: XE, SE, LE and Nismo trim levels. King Cabs come with a 6-foot bed. Crew Cabs have a standard 5-foot bed, but a 6-foot bed is also available on SE and LE models.
Available only on the King Cab, the XE comes with only the basics, including cloth front bucket seats and 15-inch steel wheels. The SE adds more features, including 16-inch wheels, air-conditioning and a CD stereo, while the LE includes 17-inch alloys, keyless entry, cruise control and power windows, locks and mirrors. Equipped similarly to the LE, the Nismo trim, with its special suspension and tires, is for those who plan to do serious off-roading with their Frontier. A leather upholstery package with power front seats is available on the LE, and a premium Rockford Fosgate sound system with an in-dash six-CD changer is optional for LE and Nismo.
2007 Highlights
Performance & mpg
The XE comes with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine rated for 152 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque; it can be paired with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. All other models come with a 4.0-liter V6, which produces 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. All SE models and Nismo King Cabs can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic with the V6, while Nismo Crew Cabs and all LE models take the automatic only. The Frontier can be had with two- or four-wheel drive, except the XE model, which is 2WD only. Properly equipped, a V6 Frontier can tow up to 6,500 pounds.
Antilock disc brakes are standard on all Nissan Frontier models. Optional on all models are front seat side-impact airbags and curtain airbags that provide side-impact and rollover protection for front and rear outboard passengers. Additionally, Frontier LE and Nismo buyers can opt for the Traction Package, which provides stability control, hill start assist and hill descent control. In NHTSA crash testing, the Frontier earned four out of five stars for driver and front passenger protection in frontal impacts. In side-impact crash tests, it received a perfect five stars for both front- and rear-seat occupants. IIHS frontal-impact crash tests saw the 2007 Nissan Frontier receiving a "Good" rating (the highest possible) for occupant protection.
As you'd expect, acceleration is no more than adequate in the base Frontier XE model, making it a decent choice only for those who need a low-cost work truck. It's quite a different story with the V6-equipped Frontier, however. Step on the throttle in this Nissan truck and the 4.0-liter V6 comes through with plenty of low-end torque, and the automatic transmission delivers perfectly timed shifts whether you're maneuvering in traffic or flinging the truck around in the sand. Ride quality on pavement is surprisingly good for a compact/midsize pickup truck, and the steering is tight and communicative. All 2007 Nissan Frontiers are capable off-road, thanks to 10.1 inches of ground clearance and plenty of suspension travel. That said, the knobbier tires and retuned springs and shocks on the Nismo model make it easier to control in this environment -- for regular off-roaders, it's a worthwhile upgrade.
Slide into the Frontier King Cab and you'll find fold-up jump seats and reverse-opening doors; the crew cab has a larger cabin with fully usable rear-seat accommodations (that also fold up) and conventional rear doors that offer easier access to those seats. The roomy cabins offer straightforward controls, comfortable front seats and an attractive design, though excessive use of hard plastic detracts from the overall look. The truck's utility bed package includes a factory-applied spray-in bedliner and the "Utili-track" tie-down system. The tie-down system provides extra cargo-hauling flexibility through the use of five special "C" cross-section rails mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Removable utility cleats slide into the channels to provide a wide range of attachment points for securing cargo. In addition to the tie-down cleats, a full range of accessories are offered for use with the channel system, including bed dividers, sliding cargo trays, modular storage units and bike racks.

Should I lease or buy a 2007 Nissan Frontier?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.

Wait! Before you jump right into the glorious snaps of our L.A. editor's swanky mid-city home, here's a bit of background: The Omaha, Nebraska native hightailed it to SoCal over ten years ago, not knowing a single soul (USC was the number two journalism school in the U.S., at that time). Since then, Brenna Egan has been a busy bee, working with some of the biggest names in the biz, all while looking nothing short of fabulous in sky-high heels and wild frocks.
Fast-forward to 2012: While her wardrobe is pretty telling of her personality ("off-the-wall, bonkers, eccentric"), her abode is a bit, well, eclectic. Stunning chandeliers (which she hopes to hang in her granddaughter's home someday) and a custom-made Louis Vuitton daybed sit alongside flea-bought tchotchkes and overcrowded inspiration boards. But, with a new rock on her finger (Mazel tov!) the single gal is ready to say buh-bye to her bachelorette pad, and hello to a new spot for her, her soon-to-be hubby, and their rescue pup Mick Jagger.
Before she relocates (Venice folks, keep your eyes peeled!), Apartment Therapy snapped some pics for all of those in need of major décor inspiration. Unless, of course, you consider yourself a minimalist, then prepare for something a tad unsettling.
And, don't forget to visit Apartment Therapy to see the entire spread, including Egan's collection of miniature owls!

The continuing series seeks to provide an overview of laws of Thailand and legal updates on a targeted basis. The Business Security Act B.E. 2558 (2015) (the BSA), which came into effect as of 1 July 2016, has improved the legal framework supporting secured lending transactions in Thailand. Prior to the BSA, Thai law only provided for security interests to be created via "mortgage" or "pledge". This limited scope restricted lenders from accessing on a secured basis the borrower's movable assets (such as inventory and stock-in-trade); In common law countries, such movables assets are regularly secured via the common law concept of the "floating charge". Pursuant to the BSA, parties are now permitted to enter into a "Business Security Contract" in order to create a new form of security interest recognized under Thai law and which seeks to achieve the same commercial and practical effect as the common law "floating charge".

A man accused in the March 2012 shooting death of another man has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
OCALA – A man accused in the March 2012 shooting death of another man has been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
Marion County Court records show Kenard Naryan Singh, 21, entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced by Judge Brian D. Lambert on a charge of principal to murder in the second degree in the death of Douglas Tripp, 55.
Two other charges against Singh, attempted home invasion robbery and conspiracy to commit home invasion robbery, were dropped by the State Attorney's Office. Singh's sentence was announced late last month. He received 384 days for credit time served and has to pay a $5,000 fine.
Documents indicate Singh will remain at the Marion County Jail until the conclusion of cases involving his co-defendant, Brenton Crabtree.
Keith Crabtree, the brother of Brenton, and an unnamed man, also were said to be involved in the case, according to reports, but neither man has been charged.
Tripp was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds on March 9, 2012. The body was found by a neighbor.
Singh told police he had been approached by two men trying to find a gun to use in a planned robbery at Tripp's home and that a fourth man provided the gun.
According to reports, the four met at Singh's home and went to Tripp's residence. Singh said he and Brenton Crabtree tried to lure Tripp out of his home by making noises. Tripp did not come outside, so he and Crabtree tried the back door, which was locked. Singh said Crabtree fired several shots at Tripp through the kitchen window and he saw the man fall to the floor. Singh said they walked away and were later picked up by Keith Crabtree and the other man.
Brenton Crabtree, now 19, was charged with the first-degree murder of Tripp and has a hearing scheduled for May 3. He previously pleaded guilty to firearm possession and carrying a concealed weapon and was sentenced last October to eight years in prison.
While he was incarcerated in the Marion County Jail, Crabtree also was accused of taking part in the beating of a fellow inmate in May 2012 and was charged with battery. That case is still pending.

New statement to medical community demands a dignified diagnosis of dementia
Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis is first statement of its kind written by people with Alzheimer's disease
In recognition of the changing landscape of Alzheimer's, the Alzheimer's Association hosted four regional town hall meetings with more than 800 participants, including 300 people living with the disease. The 2008 report Voices of Alzheimer's Disease examined the rich dialogue at these town halls and identified diagnostic challenges and dissatisfying interactions with the medical community as two major challenges articulated by people living with the disease. The new, innovative Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis contains insights from people living with the disease on how to improve that experience.
"Patients with Alzheimer's disease face many challenges as they strive to maintain a normal life, and physicians are committed to helping ease the burden with high quality health care," said American Medical Association president Nancy Nielsen, M.D. "The AMA applauds the Alzheimer's Association for bringing forward the patients' perspective on compassionate care, as Alzheimer's patients, their families and their physicians battle the disease together."
Dr. Steve Hume, a member of the Alzheimer's Association Early Stage Advisory Group and a co-author of Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis, was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease in May 2007 at the age of 61. Prior to his diagnosis, Steve was a clinician, consultant and senior manager in the behavioral health field. Despite his professional health background, Steve struggled to secure a complete diagnosis. In fact, the first neurologist he visited told him he'd be fine if he just lost weight.
"The face of Alzheimer's has changed in recent years, and Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis adds a voice to that face," said Dr. Hume. "It is important that we not only tell clinicians we want a dignified diagnosis, but also teach them what that means. There is a lot we can learn from each other."
The Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis include the following:
- Talk to me directly, the person with dementia. I am the person with the disease, and though my loved ones will also be affected, I am the person who needs to know first.
- Tell the truth. Even if you don't have all the answers, be honest about what you do know and why you believe it to be so.
- Test early. Helping me get an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible gives me more time to cope and live to my fullest potential and to get information about appropriate clinical trials.
- Take my concerns seriously, regardless of my age. Age may be the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer's, but Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging. Don't discount my concerns because I am old. At the same time, don't forget that Alzheimer's can also affect people in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
- Deliver the news in plain but sensitive language. This may be one of the most important things I ever hear. Please use language that I can understand and is sensitive to how this may make me feel.
- Coordinate with other care providers. I may be seeing more than one specialist — it is important that you talk to my other providers to ensure you all have the information so that changes can be identified early on and that I don't have to unnecessarily repeat any tests.
- Explain the purpose of different tests and what you hope to learn. Testing can be very physically and emotionally challenging. It would help me to know what the purpose of the test is, how long it will take and what you expect to learn from the process. I would also appreciate the option of breaks during longer tests and an opportunity to ask questions.
- Give me tools for living with this disease. Please don't give me my diagnosis and then leave me alone to confront it. I need to know what will happen to me, and I need to know not only about medical treatment options but also what support is available through the Alzheimer's Association and other resources in my community.
- Work with me on a plan for healthy living. Medication may help modify some of my neurological symptoms, but I am also interested in other recommendations for keeping myself as healthy as possible through diet, exercise and social engagement.
- Recognize that I am an individual and the way I experience this disease is unique. This disease affects each person in different ways and at a different pace. Please be sure to couch your explanation of how this disease may change my life with this in mind.
- Alzheimer's is a journey, not a destination. Treatment doesn't end with the writing of a prescription. Please continue to be an advocate — not just for my medical care but for my quality of life as I continue to live with Alzheimer's.
The Principles for a Dignified Diagnosis will build greater understanding of Alzheimer's disease in the medical community," said Dr. Laurel Coleman, Alzheimer's Association national board member. "Since Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disease, the physical, emotional and social implications of the diagnosis need to be considered throughout the journey."
