| Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt's elegant gaming house, must find a way to restore herself and her aunt to respectability, preferably without accepting either of two repugnant offers. One is from an older, very rich and rather corpulent lord whose reputation for licentious behavior disgusts her; the other from the young, puppyish scion of a noble family whose relatives are convinced she is a fortune hunter. The young suitor's uncle, Max Ravenscar, comes to buy her off, an insult so scathing that it leads to a volley of passionate reprisals, escalating between them to a level of flair and fury that can only have one conclusion.

The amount of turmoil around the TCU Horned Frogs last season was a major distraction. The suspension of Casey Pachall put the team into a deep hole after starting 4-0. TCU would go just 3-6 in their final nine games and lost the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. Pachall is back this season and that means TCU should be right back to their winning ways, in my opinion.
He threw for 948 yards and 10 touchdowns during those first four games before the problems arrived. There is always the possibility as well that Pachall doesn't get his starting job back with Trevone Boykin still on the roster, but TCU is a better team with Pachall under center. I think that should have been obvious to anyone who has been watching over the past few years. There is a very tough task right off the bat with a game against LSU, but after that game brings some winnable contests.
I wouldn't be shocked at all if the Horned Frogs finished 9-3 this coming year. There are two tough road games against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, but every other game is a game that the team can win. I have to believe that Pachall will be starting from day one and will remain there all season long. He needs to stay out of trouble, though. If he were to do something stupid again, the fault on this team not succeeding will be solely on his shoulders. There isn't much time left until we find out what happens during the 2013 season for this TCU team.

Musicians Celebrate the Rolling Stones at Carnegie Hall
The Rolling Stones's greatest-hits package "Hot Rocks," released in late 1971, provided the music for an all-star charity event held last night at a sold-out Carnegie Hall. Twenty-one acts ranging in quality and invention covered the 21 songs on "Hot Rocks," all but two of which were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
As the event began to unfold, it seemed only good will would carry the evening: Following a charming reading of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" by children's choir, members of TV on the Radio and singer Jovanotti, who sang a verse in Italian, came a succession of uninspiring performances by Ronnie Spector, Peaches, the Black Crowes's Rich Robinson and actress Juliette Lewis, who botched the lyrics to "Satisfaction" despite staring at the teleprompter while she wailed.
But Marianne Faithfull revived the concert with a throaty "As Tears Go By," which she recorded five decades ago when she was 17. David Johansen's "Get Off My Cloud" and Steve Earle's "Mother's Little Helper" – the first song he learned to play on guitar, he said – continued the momentum build.

Olympic Park Barcelona Reviews
158 reviews
Estadi Olímpic De Montjuic Lluís Companys Feb 06, 2017
Parc Montjuïc was the location for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. The Olympic Ring was originally built in 1927 ready for the International Expo in 1929. Then it was fully renovated in 1989. The Olympic stadium is a huge facility in the heart of the Olympic ring. It is named after Lluís Companys, the president of the Catalan government during the Spanish Civil War.
The Palau Sant Jordi is considered the most important element of the Olympic Ring in Montjuïc. It is a covered sports pavilion, designed basically for the competitions of athletic and rhythmic gymnastics and the finals of handball and volleyball of the 1992 Olympic Games. The Calatrava Telecommunication Tower was built in the Olympic Ring to improve communications.
We arrived by a private bus from Plaça Espanya and really enjoyed just walking around the area. There was the Montjuïc Castle and the Magic Fountain, too. We were the only visitors there at the moment, the whole area was quiet, totaly opposite of the other parts of the city.
The stadium is free to enter. There is a small shop selling sports related gifts and a café on site. The Barcelona's Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour stops near the Olympic Stadium, too.

It's a nice thing to see if you're passing Apr 06, 2015
The Olympic park is quite nice to see but I wouldn't go out of your way to go here to be honest!
I went here on a hop on hop off bus and spent about half an hour here, the Olympic park behind the stadium is nice, but there is nothing to do there, it's probably just quite nice to sit there and relax with a book really! But I had far to much to do and didn't sit there and read!!
I went in April, so I'm not sure if it gets busier during the summer periods at the actual park, or if there's actually nothing to do there all year round??
There's quite a few things to see nearby, it's worth a stop if you are near, but I just wouldn't go out of my way JUST to go here.

Why I don't want to be self-employed
I was 29 when I quit working in a cubicle and became self-employed. It was a huge step, and I was excited to experience the freedom of setting my own schedule, working wherever and whenever I wanted, and creating a lifestyle that I had always dreamed of. I was eager to test myself to see how much I could accomplish on my own. Plus, I was moving to Germany for a year with my boyfriend, and that just added to the excitement.
My passion for my new freelance life was further fuelled by the fact that so many of my friends were either already working for themselves, or aspired to one day work for themselves. I felt like I had finally achieved something important: after two very difficult years of working 70+ hours/week at both my full-time job and freelancing, I had grown my freelance writing gigs and this blog from nothing, into something that I could actually make a decent living from. I had steady clients in place, and a good amount of extra freelance work rolling in.
However, after a year of doing my own thing, I knew that being self-employed wasn't the right fit for me … which was interesting to learn about myself after years of wondering if I could make it on my own.
Although the year I spent freelancing proved that I have what it takes to work for myself if I ever wanted to go that route again, I am much better suited working for someone else for the rest of my career. Freelancing and self-employment isn't for everyone, and I honestly think it's a lifestyle that not many people can handle (no matter how much they dream of being their own boss). I'm constantly impressed by my friends who are thriving as freelancers because I know it takes a special kind of person to make it work.
Here are four reasons why I left freelancing and went back to my cubicle (and none of it had to do with not making enough money!):
1. Freedom
Yes, freedom! So many people talk about wanting to have the freedom to create their own schedule, and not feel like they're chained to their desk. Well, I'd rather be chained to my desk for 8 hours a day than feel like I'm chained to my own laptop and smartphone 24/7. Honestly.
Sure, I got to work whenever I wanted, and travel when I felt like traveling. But as it turns out, I was kind of a demanding boss on myself. I always felt pressured to work harder, and when I wasn't in front of my laptop? I was either checking my emails and looking at social media, or worrying about checking my emails and looking at social media. I didn't want to miss any new opportunities, and it drove me crazy. It's pretty horrible to feel like you can't be without your phone, ever. I had major anxiety, and started to lose all sense of balance. My work consumed me, no matter what kind of schedule I tried to implement. I wasn't practical, because I was too scared not to hustle as much as I could.
So even though I was only doing actual work for 30 hours a week as a freelancer, I never felt like I could step away. Whereas a full-time job brings me the freedom to leave work behind. After 5pm, I don't have to worry about projects or clients or income targets, and my evenings and weekends are mine to enjoy however I want. Life is short, and I'd rather hold hands with my boyfriend in the park after work, than sit in front of my laptop trying to hit a deadline.
2. Time Off
I used to think that if I became self-employed, I could take as much time off as I wanted to. But it was actually pretty hard to go on vacation and complete unplug from the outside world. Sure, I traveled a ton, but the problem with being your own boss is that when you're on vacation, you're not getting paid. Plus, most evenings (and yep, sometimes during the day) when I was on vacation, I was checking e-mails and following up on work-related admin stuff, or stressed out about a client reducing their budget – none of which were relaxing!
My old corporate jobs allowed me two or three weeks of vacation, which obviously was not enough time for the amount of traveling I wanted to do each year. I yearned for more time to go adventuring, and thought freelancing was the answer. But what I didn't realize was that perhaps it was just the industry I was in that was limiting my freedom.
I love the industry that I'm in now because of the flexibility it provides when it comes to time off. I feel lucky in that every little bit of time I work above and beyond a normal work day gets given back to me – which works out to having seemingly unlimited vacation time. Last year I took 6 weeks of paid vacation, and this year will likely be around the same. Maybe even a bit more. And best of all? I don't have to worry about anything related to work while I'm gone.
3. I am not special
I have a very good idea of where I stand in the personal finance world. I'm an average writer with an average get-out-of-debt story. I don't have any unique skills, and I'm not special. But what I do have is an above-average passion for personal finance, and the desire to help others. And that's why this blog has been around for almost 10 years.
There are so many other people who have the self-employed thing
4. Stability
The ability to work for yourself opens up the doors to limitless streams of income, and I will admit that felt super liberating. But I'm a natural worrier, and even though I had steady contracts which gave me a steady income stream, having the rest of my income fluctuate caused my anxiety to skyrocket. Some weeks I would bring in thousands and I'd feel so confident. Then there were other weeks I'd make nothing and I would start to panic. Everything evened out over the course of the year to provide me with a perfectly livable income (that was actually more than my previous full-time job provided), I couldn't handle the ups and downs with grace.
My desk job provides me with the stability I crave. I know that every two weeks, I'll be getting X amount of money. It's something I can count on, and I need that feeling of stability.
Being self-employed is a terrific option for some people. I have plenty of friends are are self-employed rock stars! But it's a lot less glamorous and a lot harder than you might think. I know myself well enough to know this now, but it took me half a decade of freelancing and a full year of being self-employed to really understand it.
Have you ever wanted to work for yourself?
You know you're in financial trouble when…
When I was in college, we had to do a mandatory 4-month co-op during the summer between our first and second year. I wanted to do something in marketing or event coordination, but couldn't find anything in Victoria. I did, however, find a position with a non-profit in Northern Alberta. So without hesitating, I said yes to the barely-above-minimum-wage job and the chance for a bit of an adventure.
I decided to drive the 1,300km to my new temporary home because I knew I'd likely need my car while I was up there. But since my car was basically a piece of crap on wheels, I was going to have to take it into a mechanic to make sure it was safe to take on my short road trip. When I found out it would cost just under $1,000 for the repairs, I remember nearly bursting into tears. I didn't have that kind of money! So for the first time in my adult life (and the first admittance to anyone that I was in any sort of financial trouble), I asked my parents if I could borrow the money from them.
"You don't have $1,000?" I remember my dad asking. I felt shame. Nope, I didn't. His face fell and he kind of shook his head in disappointment, but he loaned me the money. I got my car fixed, and away I went on my road trip. But I felt so horrible about owing him money that I paid him back with my first pay cheque (which ended up being the entire amount – and a little bit more) – and lived off my credit cards until I got paid again.
Except that when I got paid again, I had to pay off my credit cards. And it was just so easy to fall behind when the minimum payments were a lot more appealing than paying off the entire amount. A few pay cycles like that, and all of a sudden I had maxed out my credit card.
I've mentioned it in a few posts lately, but life is a lot easier now. I don't feel like I'm falling behind, and I actually have savings in the bank and a financial plan for the future. But I will admit that I still feel a bit of a victory whenever I can fill my gas tank up completely (instead of only putting in $10 worth of gas because it was all I could afford).
I'm not really sure what the point of this post was, but I wanted to share the story of the first time I admitted to anyone (including myself) that I was in any sort of financial trouble. Even 11 years later, I can still see that disappointed look on my dad's face, and it's something I hope to never, ever see again.
Can you remember the first time you knew you had money problems?
Is it possible to save too much for the future?
Back in December, I shared my panic about not saving enough for early retirement. I was putting away $950 each month back then, and once employer contributions kicked in, that increased to $1,200. Because of my little panic attack, I increased it again to $1,350/month for January, and then in another surge of panic in that same month, increased it yet again to where it currently sits at $1,685/month.
And even though I'm not stretching myself thin by contributing $1,685/month (which includes employer contribution), I couldn't help but ask myself two important questions:
- Could I be saving less into retirement and more into my general savings? If I don't actually need to be saving this much money to reach my goal of early retirement, would I be better off setting that money aside for a down payment on a future home? Or spending more of it on life (which basically means travel)?
- If I continue saving at this rate, could I potentially retire earlier than the 55-57 age that I'm currently targeted?
Even though I've been saving for retirement for 10 years already, and early retirement is my number one financial goal, I really don't think I've ever grasped the actual reality of retirement. I've just kind of been wildly throwing money into my portfolio in the hope that it would fund whatever lifestyle I choose to have. But the thing is, I've always known what I want. Maybe I can't picture the details exactly, but I know the feeling.
Related: What does retirement mean to you?
I wrote this back in 2013 and it still feels so true to me:
Retirement to me means having the freedom to do whatever I want to do, without the obligation to work for a living. I guess you could call it financial independence, rather than retirement. Who knows what I'll be up to! But whatever it is, it'll be my choice, and it won't be based on the need to bring in an income.
Most experts say you want to replace 70% of your pre-retirement income in order to live comfortably. Which is what I've always been aiming for. 70% of my income right now would conservatively be about $55-60k. But the issue I'm having is, that number seems really, really high. And I'm beginning to realize that your retirement calculations should be based on your pre-retirement SPENDING, rather than your income. Right?
Because, come on. I've never in my life spent $55-60k in one year! I'm living quite comfortably right now on 35-40% of my income (and that includes paying rent) in Canada's most expensive city. So if I have no rent/mortgage to pay during retirement, and I live a good life right now, why on earth would I ever need 70% of my current income during retirement?
Related: Why 20-somethings might have difficulties retiring by 65
Sure, unexpected costs will always creep up on you. So let's say on the high end, I'll want 50% of my income during retirement. I'm a cautious person, and there's always a degree of uncertainty to life – so the extra padding would be nice. But that's still a lot less than the 70% I've been stressing myself out to obtain.
My goal for this month is to take a really good look at my retirement plan, my current contribution rate, and what that means for my goal of early retirement. I don't know if I'll end up changing anything, but I do think it's an important exercise. And if anything, it might calm me down a bit. :)

Keiren Westwood is adamant a top-six finish should be the minimum target for Sheffield Wednesday this season.
There is just over a week to go until the Owls kick-off their 2016/17 campaign at home to newly-relegated Aston Villa in front of the TV cameras.
Wednesday came within a whisker of going up last term, losing 1-0 to Hull City in an all-Yorkshire Play-Off final.
It was a tough defeat for the Owls to take but goalkeeper Westwood is confident they will put that near miss behind them.
He told The Star: "I think we can be right up there again if we add a few players.
"I think the play-offs is the minimum target again after getting to the final. We've got to try and go one better."
For our Owls news and opinion on twitter follow here
Westwood was left visibly distraught at the final whistle after the Owls fell short at Wembley.
"The realisation (over missing out on promotion) set in when I woke up the next day and looked out of the window and Wembley was a stone's throw away," he said. "I could see Wembley and it was a kick in the teeth.
"It happens and there has to be a winner and a loser. It's just a shame we lost.
"I don't think anyone can say anything bad about last season. I think we all, to a man, stood up to be counted for and did great. We just fell at the final hurdle.
"It (the final) was probably too much for us. Hull were a very strong, physical side and that's what cost us in the end."
For more news from Hillsborough click here
After entertaining Villa on the opening weekend, the Owls head to Cambridge in the first round of the Capital One Cup followed by a tricky trip to Norwich City.
"Aston Villa and Norwich are very strong teams," he admitted. "We have got a tough start but they won't fancy playing us either because we are a good team."
Wednesday boasted one of the best home records in the division last term. Thirteen of their 19 victories came in their own backyard and only Hull scored more home goals.
Westwood has warned his Owls teammates that they might have to adopt a more patient approach at Hillsborough this time around.
The Republic of Ireland, who produced two superb individual performances against Brighton and Hove Albion and Hull in their Play-Off campaign, said: "We will be a prized scalp at home.
"Teams may sit in against us and make things difficult.
"I think we saw that towards the end of last season. It took us a bit longer to break teams down.
"I think we are going to be have to be patient and wear teams down.
"But if we play the football that we have done, teams won't like coming to us."

Atlanta Braves prospect Jordan Schafer says he hopes his play on the field will answer questions about his rapid rise through the minors when he returns from a 50-game suspension for using human growth hormone, according to a published report.
"I know what kind of player I am," Schafer said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I know my work ethic, how my workouts are in the offseason. I know the truth. But if I go out and I'm 2-for-20, people are going to go 'See, it was that.' I know what I'm going to go through. I'm mentally prepared for that. I just have to go out and take care of business. If I go out and play well, it'll all go away."
Schafer said he could not comment when asked if he used HGH, according to the newspaper. Nor would he say if he's pursuing an appeal or legal action.
"It might come out one day but as far as right now, it sucks, but I'm stuck in a spot where I have to say no comment and move on," Schafer said, according to the report. "It's a lot more complicated than people think."
Schafer enjoyed a meteoric rise through the Braves' system in 2007, a year after hitting .240 in Class A ball. He led the minor leagues with 176 hits in 136 games for the Braves' Class A teams in Rome and Myrtle Beach, batting .312 with 74 extra-base hits. He went from the 27th-ranked prospect in the Braves' system to the club's No. 1 prospect. He was projected to arrive in the Braves' big-league outfield in 2009.
Now, he's due to miss one-third of Double-A Mississippi's games this season.
"It's a big loss," Schafer said, according to the report. "But I'm in a position where I'm stuck with this now. I really just have to try to maintain and try to get better, try to move on."
With his suspension due to end May 31, Schafer is working out with players in the Braves' extended spring training camp in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. He's looking forward to his return, even with the knowledge he's going to be watched carefully and harassed in visitors' parks.
"I know I have that label right now and people have a lot of questions about me, but hopefully by the way they see I come back and play that it's an unfair label," Schafer said, according to the report.

I am disrespectfully happy despite this might mean I have lost a $1000 bet -an "insurance bet", if you like- I placed six years ago with theorist Jacques Distler and experimentalist Gordon Watts (and the latter belongs to the ATLAS collaboration, by the way). The events unearthed by ATLAS in their 2011 data, which had been overlooked by previous versions of missing ET plus jet search signatures, have no possible explanation in the standard model, while they fit perfectly the hypothesis of a mass>1-TeV gluino. I have not had a chance to screen the material carefully yet - will update this post as I go along, but check this distribution below first. It shows the missing transverse energy distribution in events containing one electron after the refined selection strategy of the ATLAS analysis.
Yes, the point at the far right in the figure above is what you should concentrate on. One event, in this search subchannel. Only one event. But ATLAS estimates that standard model backgrounds amount to basically zero events in their signal region, missing ET>500 GeV. It is in such situations that one event grants a clean observation of a new signal. But if this odd event were all ATLAS has, one could remain unconvinced, of course. Why, the CDF experiment once saw a striking event which had an even smaller probability of being due to backgrounds, and had all the features it was expected for a cascading SUSY decay... But later no other such events turned up, and it was archived as a fluctuation, mixed with a detector problem. Here, the story is different, though.
See the following figure. A different search channel, the one including no charged leptons - and another event pops up at an abnormally high value of effective mass, 1500 GeV ! Please note that the dashed blue curve is what one expects to see for a 800-GeVgluino, while this signal must correspond to a gluino with mass well above a TeV. Also note how standard model backgrounds are practically non-existent above effective masses of 1200 GeV.
Finally, maybe a little less striking, but actually not less significant, is the observation of three events in the tail of the effective mass distribution in an orthogonal signal box, see below. Again, the events are compatible with being produced by the chain decay of a >1-TeV gluino (the dashed blue line again indicates what is expected for a 800 GeV gluino). From the little I understand of the ATLAS analysis -which is approved, but as far as I know has not yet been made public- these events have been studied with great care and they are picture-perfect SUSY decays!
Stay tuned as I try to gather more information from my ATLAS friends!
UPDATE: Of course this was an April's Fool. But the plots above are real, as are the events in the tails... I will have a serious piece on this analysis out soon.
Did you break the embargo? Aren't you 25 minutes early?
April's fool?
My sincere apologies if I'm spoiling your April Fools joke -- although, in that case, you have posted a bit early. In any case, the plots are from the ATLAS preprint here, from March 28: http://arxiv.org/abs/1203.6193
It is certainly worth noting that the ATLAS Collaboration does not interpret these plots in the way that you do. It also seems they do not have sufficient MC statistics for the very high bins, making it impossible to judge the probability of the events you arising due to statistical fluctuations of the null hypothesis.
Isn't it a little early for an April fools joke?
Good one, it's not midnight here yet so it nearly worked.
April's fool of course.
And here I was hoping the universe was sufficiently perverse to issue true preprints at confusing times of the year.
The only thing that gave me pause for a second (besides Greece being a few time zones ahead) is how much perverse joy Tommaso would get from releasing any such real news on this date. :]
Ha ha exactly Cliff,
now we can wait for a similar or even more perverse 1.April joke to appear at another (trolling) site (which I`ve completely stopped clicking about one and a half year ago because this guy is too ****, ******, and ****** without any ****** sense of *****, ****,****** ... !) with which Tommaso seems to be strongly correlated or entangled respectively, LOL :-D
Happy 1.April ;-)
Its a sad statement about the state of SUSY when everyone assumes a report of evidence for a super symmetric particle must be a joke,
You caught more fish last year...:)
Well, april's fool or not, ATLAS has shown two events https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/AtlasPublic/EventDisplayCONFnotes#N... . Look at the bottom of the page.
This year's crop of April 1 jokes seems curiously lame. I wonder why. Perhaps the amount of disappointment in the air has something to do with it? Or is it just the incredible boredom of hearing about the same old tired theoretical ideas? I'm so old that I can remember when supersymmetry seemed like an interesting idea.
Not even Lubos would fall for this.
This problem with the joke is similar to that of RealClimate.ORG. Most readers over there haven't figured out that their "wrong sign" article was a joke. The reason is simple. Those people who love to spin everything and write things that are upside down have a rather understandable property: the more they are trying to joke, the more serious and credible their written text looks (and is, by the way).
If the April 1st and other dates were interchanged, i.e. if there were 364-365 Aprils first a year, the credibility of your texts might increase by the factor of 364.25.
This problem with the joke is similar to that of RealClimate.ORG. Most readers over there haven't figured out that their "wrong sign" article was a joke.
From checking RealClimate, by an amazing coincidence only the few who did figure it out decided to post comments.
Capitalist Imperialist Pig is an alarmist whacko just like the Real Climate thugs but he did notice that the comments make it obvious that the readers didn't get it. See
Maybe they erased the comments that didn't get it?

Muhamed Besic has signed a new five year deal that extends his current Everton contract through to 2021. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international had already triggered a clause in his previous contract that gave him a years extension for playing 25 games for the club.
The 23 year old's new contract has delighted Everton fans who want to see more of Besic in an Everton shirt. The midfielders time at the Blues has been hampered by injury.
After a fine run of form this season during games against Manchester City, Besic suffered another hamstring injury, adding to his initial hamstring injury when he started in the 3-1 win over Chelsea earlier this season.
Time is on Besic's side
The new deal signals a long term stay at Goodison Park for Besic, giving him a chance to prove he can take over from Gareth Barry once the Englishman moves on or retires.
With more than a 10 age difference, Besic has shown that he can be a long term successor for Barry, as a midfielder who gets around and picks up loose balls while being willing to stick in a tackle and take a card for his team.
Besic has shown a proficiency when tackling, being able to win the ball with an inch perfect tackle. He still has to prove that can step up to another level and cut out the mistakes in his game. Besic can make mistakes in all areas of his game - whether it be giving the ball away or making a poor shooting decision from range.
Versatility is Besic's key
Besic can play a number of different positions and fill different roles for Roberto Martinez's side. During the Blues Capital One Cup run he showed an ability to shadow such a quality like Yaya Toure and effectively take him out a game without a tough tackle.
For his native Bosnia and Herzegovina, he has played behind Edin Dzeko as an attacking midfielder, at centre half and even at full back. During the game against Chelsea earlier this season, Besic set up on the left wing before succumbing to injury.
Being able to fit into different positions will increase an chance of playing time he has for the Toffees.

If you are looking to create high quality, professional business cards at home there are a few things you are going to need. I will discuss the three pieces needed to create professional cards from home. Of course depending on your budget, you may need to combine on one of the steps, but that will lower the quality of your final product. I have found that business cards are still a very effective way to promote my businesses. I do make my own at home and here are the three things you must consider.
1) Use a High Quality Laser Printer with Good Graphic Imaging
Any color printer will put ink on card stock, but there are a few brands that I have found work best. These three models are a little costly. If you have to compromise because of budget restraints that is a common situation that new business entrepreneurs find themselves in. The good news is everything else you need is fairly inexpensive and if you are using the highest quality card stock and design program it can go a long way in making your cards look professional. In my opinion here are the three best printers for printing cards in order:

Though the war did not officially start until this time, there were definite signals of war as early as March of 1939, when Germany took over Austria. This act violated the Versailles Treaty, one of the treaties created at the end of the First World War. Look here for more information:

Here is some eye candy for any Strat lover or realistically speaking, any admirer of beautiful guitars. A hand built Stratocaster made out of raw unfinished walnut wood. Make sure you click on the pictures to enlarge them and get a really good view. The body is made out of two pieces of walnut glued together using the correct glue for guitars. Which is a matter of great importance based on many reasons suggested in that article.
Allan, who by now many of you are familiar with as a one of my good friends ( I don't use the word friend loosely either) actually built the guitar from scratch. The two pieces of walnut wood were glued together with Titebond glue and left to dry fully for about a week. The next steps include running it through a jointer to square it up and then running it through a planer to make it perfectly flat then planing it to the thickness you want the body to be.
Every step in making a guitar from scratch needs to executed with critical precision, no room for error, but the next step may be the most important. That is to use a quality template and placing it on the squared, planed block of wood, walnut in this case and using a router to cut the body to shape. During the process you will also cut the holes for the pickups and neck and shape the body. Like Popeye the Sailor used to say "me ain't no doctor, but me sure has a lot of patients", you will need to exercise your patience with this job. Mess up the routing process (router) and now you will have to build a different body style of guitar.
Hopefully you went into this project with a plan. Meaning you had chosen the best neck style and hardware you want to use. There are cases where the type of pickups and other hardware may require a different routing job for that particular component. You even have several choices for the type of nut to use, I prefer a carved bone nut, although this axe has a graphite nut. The nut can be very personal for many reasons which include tone, tun-ability and string life. As you can see in the article picture, a bone nut is being shown on a Stratocaster neck.
To make a super long story long, Allan chose a Mexican made Strat neck which he got from E-Bay and used single coil pick ups that Jim Wagner (WCR) makes called the SR's. Stock tuners and a Strat type Wilkinson bridge along with wiring the electronics together pretty much finish it out. The last thing I need to mention is the finish, this is where you will need a bunch of patience. Finish and color or clear coating the wood to show the grain is where you can make your project look professional or amateurish. No matter how much time and patience you put into the rest of the job, if you don't prepare the surface properly and apply the finish correctly, and take the endless time needed to sand and polish the finish perfectly, you wasted a lot of time. Study finishing wood first and make some practice attempts on waste wood before you try it on your new guitar.
What is the last thing we do? We set it up properly. We all know Guitar Players Center is a big time advocate of a perfect set-up for your guitar. You will need to do this or have it done by a competent guitar maker or luthier. Allan and I spent a couple hours yesterday setting it up, we got it close, but more work is needed. One thing for sure, it sounds terrific as it stands now and plays pretty darn well. Walnut is heavier than Ash or Alder wood, which most Stratocasters are made of. I think it is a worthy sacrifice in weight for several reasons. Walnut does make a really beautiful guitar, but more important to me is that it is a great sounding tone wood.
I hope you enjoy this article, it is a really cool process to go through and very gratifying personally. Allan is and should be proud of what he created. If he isn't, he can just hand that bad boy over to me. lol!. Enjoy.

This test method measures the system material properties of an insulated formed heat shield under invehicle conditions. While the material properties of the individual components can often be determined via existing test methods, the system properties of the entire composite is typically much harder to ascertain (especially for multi-layer shields). System material properties include thermal conductivity in the lateral or in-plane (x) direction, thermal conductivity through the thickness or perpendicular (y), surface emissivity on the top and bottom sides of the shield and specific heat of the shield material.
All properties are determined for the entire shielding material specimen as a composite of the entire structure. Properties are determined using a testing apparatus that allows for two-dimensional heat flow through the specimen. Due to this, the material property results from this test method may not agree with one-dimensional heat flow type testing methods, but is representative of most heat shield materials performance tested with a centralized heat source. Therefore, material property results from this test method may be more suited for multi-dimensional analytical studies.
This standard sets forth the general guidelines to construct and operate the testing apparatus to acquire a satisfactory set of test data. Designs conforming to this standard are included and must not be deviated from for sensitivity reasons that will be discussed in more detail later. Test parameters that cannot be deviated from include, but are not limited to; specimen size, distance between the source and the specimen, source diameter and environmental conditions around the apparatus.
This method ultimately determines the shield material properties by using the test data along with an analytical scheme, see Section 8.1.
This test method will evaluate both isotropic and anisotropic insulated shielding materials. This may also include multi-layer shielding structures which include embossed/corrugated solids, porous, fibrous, granulated and coated materials.

text: Thanks to this wonderful forum, I've decided to buy the PTI and either the Lexington or the Reade PM in Pomme. I am only 5' tall, petite frame. I heard the drawbacks to the Lex (although it's gorgeous) are that it's quite narrow and not easy to fit basic things in, like a wallet/cellphone, etc. On the other hand I think the Reade PM might be a little overpowering... I'd like to hear lots of opinions though... and I'll need to make a decision by Wednesday, as my bf is going shopping in London for me!!!!

Penguin and the Panda – the War against Spam
Google regularly tweaks its algorithms in order to ensure good quality content to be displayed in its search engine results. Google has named such updates as 'Panda'. The first update was released in Feb, 2011 in US and later, in April it was released across most English speaking regions. The release of Panda Update helped much good high-quality content to be ranked higher in the search index. The basic intention of Google is to provide users with the best, fresh and relevant information through its search engine. Vancouver SEO companies are known to follow ethical practices.
Spam and the Panda Update
Spamming is usually done in two manners; on-page spam and off-page spam. On page spam consists of stuffing the content with keywords, especially in the first paragraph in order to be ranked high. Such copies are written for the search engines and not for the people looking for relevant information. On- page web spam also includes other methods such as doorway pages and hidden texts, all such techniques are officially against Google guidelines. In case of off page spam, it mainly consists of link schemes that would increase the page rank. Panda update is an automated filter that based on the relevance of the content adjusted the rankings. In case a website suffers from a Panda penalty, it is required to clean up from its spam content and post relevant high-quality content. Thus this also meant removing and replacing old recurring articles with new fresh and in-depth content and removal of product pages which did not contain any distinctive information.
Penguin Update
Released in April 2012, the Penguin Update is a host of algorithm modification churned by Google in order to address spamming issues in websites. It specifically targets keyword stuffing, backlink and cloaking which are strictly against the Google guidelines. Google aims to punish spam websites and thus provide users with quality content. Link spam is the target of the Penguin Update as links are a powerful tool in generating traffic. SEO's misused this tool and thus Google took notice of it. Apart from keyword stuffing, links, cloaking and hidden texts, Sub domains and multiple domains containing duplicate content are also targeted by the Penguin Update.
Small Businesses Affected
The changes are bound to affect businesses that have been using various techniques to gain higher page ranks, but those who have been relying solely on the links and keyword stuffing will be affected severely. Businesses need to respond to the changes quickly and adopt methods that adhere to the guidelines.
Small businesses will be unable to react to the changes quickly as they lack the expertise as well as the funds to immediately change their SEO tactics. Search Engines are critical for small business thus when their page ranking is affected, it severely affects their business, thus it is imperative for such businesses to take notice of the changes and discuss it with their Vancouver SEO vendor.
All these changes clearly suggest that companies and SEO vendors need to gear-up for more Updates and thus apply right techniques that adhere to the Google guidelines.

Kareena to portray gray shades in 'Agent Vinod'Follow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
Agent Vinod is the talk of the town at this point in time and the reason behind the films enormous hype is obviously the presence of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film is slated for release on March 23rd.
Now the latest buzz is that Kareena who is playing female lead in Agent Vinod is portraying negative character in "Agent Vinod".
In a decade-long career, spanning a plethora of roles and ample box office success, Kareena has shown her negative side just once, in Fida opposite Shahid Kapoor who was her boyfriend back then. Now, after eight years, Kareena may be repeating history, this time with her new beau Saif Ali Khan in Agent Vinod.
A source says, The promos are quite suggestive of grey shades in Kareenas character. Theres a lot more to her in the film than Saif and Sriram Raghavan want the audience to know.
Another industry insider says, Films like these have characters that have an interesting past. Saif is playing an agent with a certain background and Kareenas character actually leaves everyone guessing till the interval. Understandably, those privileged to have had a dekko at the film are unwilling to spill the beans.
Director of the film, Sriram Raghvan also agreed that Kareena is very important part of his film. This was always a part of the plan and not a last minute decision. Kareena is very important to the film and you would realize that when you watch it, he said.

Last week we talked about the differences between keeper and dynasty leagues and some different approaches to each. This week, we will focus on keeper leagues and the determination of your freeze list. By means of a quick review, the defining difference between keeper and dynasty leagues is the turnover of available talent is much greater in keeper leagues. Every year, there is a fresh supply of top-tier talent available for draft or auction. So much so, in fact, that you should design a strategy to compete every season and only bail and rebuild if necessary. But before we discuss means of approaching your draft or auction, we must first decide on your freeze list.
Here are some general rules of thumb when it comes to deciding on keepers. These are applicable to either drafts or auctions. Later, we will look at tips pertaining specifically to drafts and to auctions.
In general, you want to concentrate on a strong hitting foundation. This is not to say to completely ignore pitchers if you have them at a solid value, just that all things being equal, it is better to go into the draft or auction with solid sticks, as you can usually find more quality arms either in the draft or auction or in-season via free agency or waivers. It is also easier to manage a pitching staff using middle relievers and streaming starting pitching so you want to make sure you have a base of offensive counting stats to build upon.
While it is always exciting to own the next big thing, your keeper list should focus on solid, less risky entities and not the hot shot sophomore that took the league by storm, unless the cost to freeze is minimal. Yes, you will need to take chances to win, but save the chances for your draft or auction. Owning the new shiny object is fun, but winning is more fun. And the path to winning is paved with boring and steady, leaving the chances to your opponents.
The final general piece of advice is to consider balance on your freezes, but the bottom line is to protect the best players at the best cost. Do not toss back a better first baseman for a lesser shortstop even if it means you are tying up your corner infield spot. This is especially true if your league has any level of the so-called dump trade, where one squad deals away future value for help to win this season. If keeping two star first basemen leaves you with a subpar shortstop, you can look to upgrade your shortstop later by trading a keeper for a star shortstop that is not a viable keeper.
Now we will look briefly at draft league keepers and close out with tips for auction formats. But this is as good a time as any to remind everyone we have a message forum that is perfect for asking questions pertaining to your own keeper decisions. You can provide us with all the pertinent details and get opinions from the Mastersball staff as well as our intelligent forum regulars, many of which are not shy about sharing their knowledge.
In draft leagues that do not penalize you a draft pick for freezes, you obviously just keep the best talent. But some leagues require you forfeit a draft pick per keeper, sometimes the same round you originally drafted the player and sometimes the round is two or three rounds sooner than the original pick. What you need to do here is figure out what players will be available in the draft and "count backwards." You keep players so long there will not be someone better available at that pick. It is a little more than looking at an average draft position list and keeping players if their cost is after their ADP. The decision needs to be done and in hand with what else is available.
Perhaps the biggest mistake made by those in auction keeper leagues is the reticence to freeze high salaried players. Many believe it is best to look for the cheap keepers and have a lot of money to spend at the auction. And sometimes this is fine. But others, freezing salary actually makes sense. The reason for this is it is not just about the profit from your keepers, it is about the talent on your squad at the conclusion of your auction.
If you are not familiar with the concept of inflation, in keeper auctions, talent is frozen for less than the projected value. This means there is more money available to spend than there is available talent. So in order for everyone to spend their entire budget, they are forced to pay inflated prices. Paying inflated prices absorbs some of the profit derived from your keepers.
Let us look at some numbers. A typical inflation rate for a keeper league is 25%. If you freeze $100 worth of talent for $40, that leaves you $220 to spend. In keeper leagues, the inflation always abates and you can usually realize profit on your last $20 spent, at least according to your projections. We'll be generous and say you get $30 of talent for your final $20, so you have $130 worth of talent for $60, not bad. Since the inflation rate is 25%, you will buy about $150 worth of talent with your $200, bringing the grand total to $280, which is $20 profit on the $260 cap. I decide to freeze $220 worth of talent for $200, I have $60 left to spend. To be fair, I get the same $30 talent for my final $20. That leaves me $40 and I get the same 25% inflation effect, so I pick up only $30 more worth of talent. This leaves me the same $280 total you bought. Obviously, I massaged the numbers to make my point. But the actual numbers are not important. The take home lesson is that sometimes freezing salary is not a bad thing.
The other major tip for keeper lists is to consider if you can buy back the same player or his equivalent, or even someone better for the same price. I know this sounds obvious, but it is more apropos for the cheaper players, as that is where you can often get players you like more than others on the cheap. So even if the projected value for a player may be $5 and you have him for a buck or two, there is a very good chance you can get even more profit from that spot since everyone has different opinions about players in the end game. Your $7 player is someone else's reserve, and vice versa.
Next week we will talk about how to put together a killer freeze list in dynasty formats. But in the meantime, please do not hesitate to use the forums for your keeper questions.

Not too long ago I was looking thru discount books at Barnes and Noble and came across a cookbook called Mini Pies published by Parragon Books in the UK . Being a lover of all things cute and delicious, I had to buy it.
I love fried fruit pies. But these were different. These were baked. There are recipes for peach, apple, pumpkin, cherry etc etc etc..but the recipe that intrigued me the most was the Shaker Lemon Pie. The recipe calls for sweet Meyer Lemons, but regular lemons may be used and candied to give sweeter, less tart, flavor.
First lemons are sliced into thin slices.
Lemons are then cooked in a sugar syrup to candy.
Next a filling is made and pie crusts rolled out and out into proper circles to fit muffin tins. I used a muffin tin the first time I made these but then found that a Muffin Top tin makes the best. They are not too thick and easily held to eat. I found mine at TJMaxx.
A slice of candied lemon is placed on top of each little pie and a top crust is added. Baste with egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Cut 4 tiny slits into top crusts.
Bake in 350* oven for 15 minutes until golden. Then enjoy…
Sprinkle with additional sugar and serve.
- 3 1/2 Meyer Lemons
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 TBLS water
- 4 1/2 TBLS butter
- 3 Eggs
- double Pie Crust recipe
- Flour for dusting, extra butter to grease pans, extra egg white to glaze
- Slice 2 of the lemons into 24 thin slices Place them into a medium sauce pan, heat 1/2 cup sugar and water and stir. Cook stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes until candied. Remove from syrup and drain on a plate, reserve syrup. Grate lemon rinds, squeeze lemon juice and add remaining sugar and butter to syrup. Heat gently until butter is melted.
- Meanwhile beat eggs in a small bowl and strain into the syrup. Cook gently until thickened like preserves, about 10 minutes. Increase heat if needed, but watch because it can burn.
- Cool completely.
- Roll out 1/2 pie crust and cut into 24 2 1/2 inch disc. Press into lightly greased muffin tins. Fill with cooled filling and top with a lemon side. ...(I prefer to chop the lemon slice because it is easier to eat.) I also decided the second time I made these to add chopped pecans to the filling.
- Roll out remaining pie crust and cut into 2 inch discs. Place on top, make a small slit into tops, brush with egg white and bake in preheated 350* oven, 15 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes then transfer to rack to cool. Sprinkle with sugar while still warm. Serve warm or cold. Makes 24 MINI or 12 muffin top tarts
