Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Scarlett Johansson shows off her secret alien lair on the latest trailer for Under The Skin, and it looks like a pool. Which, OK — we did not see that coming.
Based on the novel by Michael Faber, Under The Skin is channeling the whole arty alien vibe, hard. But luckily, it seems to have the positive critical reviews to back it up.
In case you missed it, here's also the teaser that came out a while ago:
Under the Skin will be released in Los Angeles and New York on April 4th.

Information on Hadelands freelance designers is unfortunately sketchy. Most of those hired to do decorative work were sculptors, like Fletre. The glass design was more of a sideline not given much attention by art historians, for whom its all about the sculptures.Speaking Norwegian doesnt help much either, as there is little to be found about Fletres glass designs anywhere here. Even the Norwegian Artists Encyclopedia offers little.During his first ten years in the US, Fletre received an extensive artists training in Chicago, before returning to Norway in 1933. He worked for Hadeland 1941-50, creating designs for the new sandblasting and deep etching techniques being developed there by the pioneering Ståle Kyllingstad. Some of Fletres designs became quite popular, and remained in the catalogue long after his departure from Hadeland. After returning to Chicago in 1954, he only visited Norway briefly. He died in Oslo, however, having come there to work on a commision for a sculpture. I have a couple of his pieces. They are not expensive; a first class FLC vase would set you back $200 at most. yoursmbmb

Whatever else it might portend, Kerry's appointment as Secretary of State is certainly good news environmentally. The New Republic put it well:
Kerry, long an advocate for the U.S. to lead on climate change prevention, has compared the threat posed by poor international effort to confront climate change to that of war. In an August speech on the Senate floor, he said, "We all know what's happening with respect to Iran, and nuclear weapons and the possibility even of a war. … This issue actually is of as significant a level of importance, because it affects life itself on the planet. Because it affects ecosystems on which the oceans and the land depend." As National Journal's Coral Davenport points out, "He was the only U.S. senator to attend key UN climate-change negotiations in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007, and Poznan, Poland, in 2008."
Kerry's commitment to the environment runs deep. Along with Theresa Kerry, he authored a book a few years ago called "This Moment on Earth," which builds on stories about local activists to discuss broader issues of policy. As the book shows, Kerry's concerns are by no means limited to climate change:
The planet is in crisis. [W]e live in a world so infused with toxins that they have made their way into the soil, the air and water, and our bodies from conception to the end of life. This stark reality was bluntly confirmed in March 2005 with the release of the UN's Global Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. . . It was the most comprehensive look at the health of the world's oceans, land, forests, species, and atmosphere to date, and its conclusion was bleak — Many of the world's ecosystems are headed for collapse unless radical measures are implemented to revive them.
According to the report, over the past 50 years, human actions have depleted the Earth's natural resources on an unprecedented scale to satisfy growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber, and fuel. The report's authors warned about the calamitous state of many of the world's fish stocks, the intense vulnerability of the 2 billion people living in dry regions to the loss of ecosystem services including water supply, and the growing threat to ecosystems from climate change and nutrient pollution. [p. 7]
In Kerry's State Department, environmental concerns are likely to have high priority, including but not limited to climate change. Good news indeed.

Gabriel Aubry will not face criminal charges for the fight with Halle Berry's fiance Olivier Martinez on Thanksgiving.
Well, it wasn't much of a fight, unless you call Aubry violently ramming his face into someone else's fist a fight.
Prosecutors have officially dropped the matter, according to TMZ, with one caveat. They want to hold an informal hearing with Gabriel to discuss the incident.
They probably want to know how he got beat up by a French guy.
As TMZ has previously reported, everyone's attorneys agreed to settle the matter and avoid a messy criminal trial. Aubry was looking at possible charges because he was the aggressor … for about four seconds. Then Martinez beat the snot out of him.
No date's been set for the informal hearing.

Making Media and telling stories – in any format – is difficult. Every step is a struggle. From writing, to casting, filming, selling. It's all tough. And the amount of ways that it doesn't work is enormous. To even to make a good project is difficult. And then marketing is a totally different animal. More difficult than ever in this cluttered space – and changing every day.
And that's why we need to collaborate.
Over the past few days I've been in the company of some truly talented people. Between LA Web Fest and the Celebrate the Web event – I'm constantly inspired by the creators in the Web Series space. These are people who take their creativity and run with it – creating excellent results.
And yet – despite their inspiring shows, there's a part of me standing at these events, drink in hand, thinking that all these people are climbing their own individual mountain. Every single one is working hard and struggling to climb their own mountain in this biz. And that's just too tough.
There has to be a way to collaborate. There has to be a way where we can all take this collective talent and creativity and use it to help us all do what we do on a bigger scale. If we don't collaborate, we die.
This is the genesis behind the "Mayfarers Go Hollywood" episodes.
Years ago – when I was looking at the media space and started to see that the web was the answer, I stumbled across "Life From the Inside." I'd spent years in the indie film world. And while there were many talented people in that world, the successful ones were doing projects that were so far from the type of material I wanted to do. (Slow paced arty movie about homeless heroin war vets all discussing the "Serious issue of the day.")
When I discovered "Life From the Inside" and other similar shows, such as "Goodnight Burbank" "Break a Leg" "the 'Burg" and "We Need Girlfriends" it opened my eyes. Yes! Finally! Here are people sharing their creativity and stories, and finding an audience. And doing it in a witty way. I made a decision at that moment to stop going into a world I didn't fit and embrace a world that I felt comfortable in.
Look at LFTI – a witty show, with smart writing, and fast paced dialogue. This is what I like to watch – not because I "have to" to study the market, but because I want to.
When the Life from the Inside Youtube account subscribed to my Mayfarers Youtube account, months before I launched, I thought it was cool. When I went out for coffee with the creators of the show in LA and I saw how incredibly nice they are, I thought – what a fascinating interconnected world we live in – when I found myself six months later filming a sitcom story with them I thought – I absolutely love this space.
That's what Mayfarers Go Hollywood is. It's reaching out to collaborate. It's working with people I admire to do something that can hopefully help us all. (It's also about goofy situations involving orgies, animal mascots and Papua New Guinea, but that's another story.)
And that's what we – as a Web New Media community – need to do more of. We need to get together to figure this out. To do something greater than the sum of our own parts.
Who's with me?
Collaboration is good except when it's only the same people doing it over and over. They run the risk of being the only one's watching their own web series.

Good Luck!! :)
- March 9, 2009 at 9:46 AM
are you seriously going to charge someone $8 to ask a question like what color paint you used? that is so totally ridiculous!! you should be flattered that people like your taste and just offer up that information.
- March 9, 2009 at 9:56 AM

i have to agree with allison. i can understand charging for consulting, but just to say what color you room is?! would you charge for an autograph when you're famous?

I love love love your blog and feel a little guilty that I have attempted some of your free ideas. So I definetly think you should be paid for your talent! I am really considering your room makeover!! Good luck!!

To me $8 is nothing for some good advice - I have spent hundreds of dollars on mistakes that I have made. Your advice and your taste is always great, so for me to pay you $8 (we are not talking $100) is well worth it!!! I am glad that I found you - I admire your home and your style, so I personally am thankful that you are offering this service!!!

OK, let me tell everyone that Melaine has completed Decorating Consultations on 5 rooms in my home SO FAR. And, I will gladly keep paying fees to her when I am ready to do the rest of my house. She has been wonderful. She has spent SO MUCH time helping me with each decision, teaching me how to do some handy work to my rooms, giving me ideas I would have never dreamed of...
I am glad she will is charging for her help & advice. She should be able to earn some money for all of her efforts, hardwork and knowledge. I know I certainly don't work for free. I am sure it costs her a lot of time to get back to everyone with their questions. I bet she has made plenty of "design mistakes or missteps" along the way too, that have cost her. This is great way for you to not have to spend the money or time on the wrong paint color, the wrong distressing technique, and it is so much cheaper than hiring a decorator.
If you are considering hiring Melaine for consulting services, I can tell you to "Go FOR IT". The rooms in my home she has helped me with look amazing. I have gotten compliments from every single person who has walked thru my door...even a delivery guy! I have wasted so much money in the past on buying the wrong things for my home, I feel a lot more confident now that Melaine has put me on a good style path and helped me find a good direction to go in for future purchases.
So, good for you, Melaine. I hope you find a way to earn what you are worth. I know I will certainly be back for more consultations, questions, how to's, etc... And, I appreciate every minute you have spent helping me on my projects.
Thank you so much!

You want to charge $25 for a "know how"?? Anyone who has a computer can use Google...for FREE! So I guess you need to be charged next time your looking for opinions on a rug for your dining room.

Oh my, my!!! Sounds like a bunch of jealous, unhappy people out there! I enjoy your blog and love your ideas but most of all your spunk! So a stay at home mom with a lot of talent wants to try to make a little money doing what she loves...and people are freaking out? I spent $25 for 2 at lunch last week and it was the worst meal ever. I would have much rather had a design consultation!!! I have hired decorators and believe me it was way more than $75!! By the way, I have "googled" several design questions and the answers were vague and not what I needed.
Go Melaine and good luck!!

good for you! being paid for something you love doing is a great achievement in life, and certainly nothing to be ashamed of. It took some courage for you to step out and make this post, I'm sure.
Personally DIY and research come easily to me, so I won't be asking your help, but I don't have the decorating gene so when it comes to making a room into a "wow" I think that would be money well spent.

I think you are very talented and you should be compensated for your service. Great idea and I'll be using your service in the future.

I think comments are being misunderstood since the 3rd service has since been removed from the original post.
I commented on that one thing. I think she should charge for her consulting, etc. More power to her!! It was the 3rd item that was a little silly, in my honest opinion.
- March 9, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Personally, I think anyone who has hired a decorator knows that $75 is a steal for a complete room makeover. Good for you. I would love to see pics of Stacy's home, and what you did, recommended.

you know - i work for a law firm -- people call all the time and ask "i have a legal question."
people need to understand that often times all you really do have to sell is your knowledge or your talent and when you expect to be able to ask a question for free of a person for their knowledge or talent (legal or consultation on paint choice or techinque) it is all still what you are selling -- YOUR knowledge, which is all you have to sell.
you can't expect to not charge for what you have developed as your expertise to feed and care for your family because someone else finds "a paint choice" perhaps "totally ridiculous."
what we spend on our money on is all a personal choice and never totally ridiculous however you decide to do it.
Melanie deserves and is entitled to charge what she feels is warranted for her knowledge -- it is what she is "selling." it is your choice if you decide to buy or not.
- March 9, 2009 at 8:12 PM
nobody said there was a problem charging for consulting. all these comments have gone way off track. it was the charge for asking a question that seemed silly. you wouldn't be posting your photos if you didn't want people to get ideas and ask questions. maybe you could post paint colors, etc. in a caption under the photo so you don't have to answer the question more than once. or maybe advise that you're not giving that information. we don't ask to get paid by you when you want our opinion on something. we love your site or we wouldn't be looking so keep up the good work. some of us show our appreciation for your time by purchasing from your etsy shop.
tricialynn...there was no need to try and go all legal on us!

Wow that got a little vicious . I think maybe I should charge more ,I sell up to three rooms for $75.00 , but I am just happy to be doing consults from home .
- March 10, 2009 at 9:19 AM
- Sarah said...
$75 is fabulous for a consult. Go, Melaine! She SHOULD charge for her knowledge and know-how.
It was the third thing that was $8 for her to type the word "Target" (or whatever) when someone asks "where did you buy that groovy lamp?"
That's what everyone is saying was ridiculous.
Let's calm down here, ladies!

I say go for it girl!!! I will be signing up for a room consultation with you. I have admired your style and created a blog so I could comment on your wonderful style. I admire that you are a stay at home mom who has found a way, in this economy, to have a home business.
I think you will do well.

So funny....just the other day I was working on a room in my house and hit a snag...the thought crossed my mind "what would Melaine do?", I thought, I should email her and ask her advice, then I thought...."No, she probably gets bombarded with questions and people asking for her advice..."I don't want to be a pest. I'll be the first to admit that I have unashamedly used ideas that have been shared with us on this blog and would be happy to pay someone with as much talent and vision as Melaine to help me make my home beautiful. Good luck to you Melaine, this is definately your calling and I'm sure you will be hugely succesful. Thank you for continuing to share with us all of the photos of beautiful homes, rooms, accessories etc. and for sharing with us stories about your life and family. It is all very entertaining and refreshing.

Melaine charging a small fee is no different than buying a magazine that had a great idea on the cover, except that with Melaine's help you are not stuck looking at a pretty picture wondering to yourself how'd they do that??
Melaine has creative and refreshing ideas & is offering a service to help people achieve what they dream their home can be. Don't be a hater.

Oh wow...I just got through reading all of these comments. It's unbelievable to me that people get so bent out of shape over these things.
I also charge to answer questions. Why? Because before I started charging, I was getting as many as 40+ design/decorating questions each week. That, in addition to my regular interior decorating business, running a website, writing a daily blog, etc., just go to be too much. I try to offer as much free info as I can through my website, but all of the requests for personalized help was overwhelming. So...now I charge. It's an incredibly reasonable fee when you consider that a one-hour consult with a decorator will cost you anywhere between $45 and $200, depending on where you live.
Also, $75 for a room design?? That's a steal!! Betsy Burnham charges up to $1495 PER ROOM for a similar service.
I say good for you! I wish you all of the success in the world. People who complain about such minimal fees aren't the type you'd want as clients anyway.

What an interesting read! All these comments are so varied in their outlook and opinion. It's like market research!
I'm considering offering an architectural/construction version of what you're doing and charging for it so this is helpful for me to read.
I started Remodeling Guy offering free advice and I still do, but I can say that it's really pretty time consuming and the idea that you would charge for it makes perfect sense to me.
You have a fabulous sense of style and I'm very glad to see that the majority of the commenters recognized the value instantly.
I'm curious to know how well the venture is going and if you have any advice for someone like me considering doing something similar, but not competitive?
Best Wishes... sorry again about your car (I so want to call it a truck!)

Melaine, you just go right ahead and charge those fees, my dear. People who value your talent & skills will gladly pay your very reasonable rates. For those who think they are ridiculous or expensive - fine, they aren't your customer.
What on earth do people think design work IS, anyway? It's sharing resources, answers, solutions, and ideas. It's years of experience and practice on your part helping THEM out so that they don't have to invest that kind of time, money, and education to solv e their problems. Why NOT charge for that?
I get multiple requests for free work every day, as I am sure you can imagine...and when I share my very reasonable rates, I often hear 'But we are a store on a budget...I thought maybe you could just help me out' (and I just want to say "Um....aren't we ALL on a budget?!!! Can I come and shop in your store and take things and NOT PAY? I'm in business here, too!")Hang in there...

As a decorator myself I find it interesting when people think our services should be free. Do the negative commenters on the post give their work away for free? Decorating is NOT like signing an autograph. It takes time, effort, vision and talent. Just because we happen to enjoy our profession does that mean we should not be paid? $75 to consult on an entire room is an absolute steal! If you think that's too high then spend the time to educate yourself; read design books, blogs and magazines on a daily basis; shop constantly; learn about proportion, scale, color, lighting and space; find reliable contractors and workrooms; dream up original ideas and figure out how to turn them into practical, beautiful reality; think through every element of the dozen or so steps it takes to spec the simplest piece of furniture; coordinate deliveries, set-up and staging; deal with vendor mistakes; handle budgeting, accounting and client relations; and think/eat/sleep/dream a project 24/7. Then let us know what you think we should charge.
Best of luck Melanie! Start thinking about charging more.

Well, this is your blog and your site so you can do what you want and advertise and charge for your services.
This explains why I did not receive a reply back when I posted a question about your son's room. I was searching on the internet for some ideas since I want to create a western style room for my son.
My son is a special needs child who is considered terminal ill. My husband and I have decided to give up our master bedroom for my son and all his medical equipment and nursing care. I was wanting to create a special space for him. Unaware that you were a designer by trade, I posted a question about the room and have yet to receive a reply.
After gathering items, bedding and brainstorming about how to tackle my "LIL COWBOY" room for our son, I was still unsure about certain details. After searching the internet, I came across photos of your son's room posted on "The Baby Gardner's" site. It was later that I came across your site/blog on it and much more. From the pictures that were posted, I soon realized that I could achieve the look I wanted for a whole lot less work. I was glad that I had not spent the money, time and effort on my idea that required more time and hard work. I guess that is why you are the designer. However, some of us moms (people) like to be creative and have an idea or two and do not mind all the hard work but just need a little direction. But then again and guess that is what you are charging for. Considering that I am on a time crunch I was thankful for the many sites and pictures out there that I was able to view.
I normally do not post comments or ask for help on line but I was so inspired by the bedroom and had a question about the bottom part of the room. It seems if you post pictures, comments, and much more, then you are wanting to share those ideas and thoughts with others and not necessarily for a cost. Just as I would not mind sharing my creative ideas with anyone.
In the end, you have the right, talent and control of your business, blog and site so do what you need to do and what is best for you. For those who do not like it do not visit it.
Keep your creativity going it allows your mind, soul and heart to grow and be open.
My motto:
Making your HOUSE a place you call HOME for family and friends.

I think I am in need of help designing my boy's room! I think I have seen enough of your wonderful work to fully trust all that you would provide.
I am looking for color combinations and "theme". The boy's have black, twin panel beds and red dressers. I have no clue what colors to paint on the wall. I have no clue what theme to go with. I was thinking Americana,vintage. My home design is quite similar to yours so I want each room to flow.
Let me know what you can do/cost.
Thanks a bunch!!!!! =)

I do not have a problem paying for expert advice. My question is what are your credentials? Are you an educated designer, as I am with a degree in fine arts, or just someone with a good eye. I would not go to a surgeon that wasn't educated or let an uneducated teacher teach my child, etc... etc...
Please tell us all of your background before you take our money!

I find it ridiculous that you demand "credentials" before paying money for something. It's also ridiculous that you would compare interior decorating to the work that a surgeon does.
OF COURSE you require a surgeon to be educated. HE HOLDS YOUR LIFE IN HIS HANDS. My goodness.
Before you purchase a novel at Barnes & Noble or Borders, do you check to be sure that the author has a degree in English? Of course not! You purchase the novel because IT'S GOOD, and you've heard good things about it, regardless of the author's field of education.
Before you purchase a cookbook, do you check to be sure that the author has been formally educated in the culinary arts? Of course not! Requiring such "credentials" would render cookbooks from people like Rachel Ray and Paula Dean invalid.
Her decorating work speaks for itself. She's incredibly talented--a talent that not everyone has, and therefore, many are willing to pay for it. And because many DO request her help, and it takes a great deal of time, she has every right to CHARGE for her services.

Melanie, I have so many questions I don't know where to begin lol... Your home is Dreamy, just to die for! My husband and I purchased a bank repo almost 2yrs. ago we have done most everything on our own. What was once a shell of a house with holes in the roof and 3 feet of water in the basement is now, my little slice of country heaven! sad to say we moved in a yr ago and i have been unable to do any decorating. This is because we have also been busy starting our family. Joey 18 months and Zach 3 months. Anyhow, we are on such a tight budget becsuse I am staying at homw with the boys. Any tips on how to have such a beautiful home on a small budget? thanks in advance

$75 dollars for a room is an unbeatable bargain.
As for the $25 - i'm sure she gets LOADS of questions, that are all time consuming to answer. If someone is serious about the question, and values her time, they'll pay.
Also, Mel, how can I get in touch with you?

Hello! You are super talented and I love your style! I was wondering where you got your dinning chairs and I understand that there is some kind of charge for that information and that you have to pay in advance (which makes sense don't get me wrong) However, what happens if they are chairs that are one of a kind or not something I could purchase anywhere near my location. Or if they are super expensive they would not be an option for me anyway. I guess my question is what is the process to get info from you? Do I ask the question first and if it is something you could answer and be helpful to me you then ask for payment or reguardless I must pay? Also, I was interested in having a full room consult however I was wondering if you have before and afters pictures of some of the online consults you have done already. I trust that they are all beautiful; it's just I have dark wood trim and doors instead of white and I am stuck on how to decorate around them while still achieving the shappy chic black and white aged furniture look. Also, I would not have a large budget AT ALL and I didn't know if maybe you could tell me the smallest budget you have ever worked with? I do not want to waste your time but I would love to have your help! I just have so many questions so if you could contact me I would greatly appreciate it!

We are anointing you our Patron Saint of Patience and we shall forever worship you for the Peace in your heart.
Lovely Melaine, your time is precious and valuable. Spend it with your family/friends before giving it away for free to someone who won't pay for your gift.

Of all the comments I have read on this "charging for services situation" the worst by far is the "TRAILER" comment by the person at Barn House. Your use of fowl language & your very ugly "trailer" comment is just sad. One minute you use the word jackasses & the "trailer" insult. . . & in the next paragraph you talk about anointing, Patron Saint, forever worship, Peace in your heart. What a mean-spirited, mismatch of thoughts & feelings. I know we all have a right to express ourselves, but you just seem out of line with the way people communicate on blogs.
Melaine . . . I feel badly that this has taken such a negative turn. I agree with those who encourage you to move past this. I am new to reading blogs, & find this unsettling.
You seem very talented. Ignore all this, find peace elsewhere & focus on what you love to do!

Don't let people get to you! I just came across your blog and love your ideas, writing style, and suggestions! In this day and age who doesn't charge? Life is hard enough and your fees are reasonable. Try hiring a tutor, you are looking at at least $30 or more per hour! I spent upwards of $25 for color samples and would have welcomed the opportunity to pay $8 and you would have probably nailed the color immediately! No matter what, keep going, stay positive and ignore people with strong opinions!!! Thanks for a fantastic blog!!!

Hi Melaine . . .
. . . just dropped by your blog as someone had posted about Leah's house on facebook - which of course is very, very beautiful - I personally LOVE that house!! :)
When I stopped over here and read these comments - I would love to say that I was shocked . . . but twenty plus years of commercial and residential design keeps that from happening anymore - and honestly I just found it very interesting. I am never surprised by peoples thoughts on design services as it goes with the territory of being a professional interior designer . . . either a person understands the worth of your time or they do not - end of story.
Over the years - I have seen designers with tons of education and experience behind them . . . and have also known others that have no education in design. Quite honestly - I do have respect for both . . . but maybe even a bit more for the latter as typically this kind of talent comes from deep within and more often amazes me!!
There will always be opinions with this issue - but whatever you do - please do NOT let it ever get to you . . . and enjoy doing what you truly love - regardless of what others think!! From my experience - I say go with the ones who understand your worth and both you and they will LOVE every minute of it. :)
All the best to you!!! liz

Nars Single Eyeshadow in Tropic from Nars Summer 2009 Collection
I like to use blues or greens to create a splash of color in my eye makeup. Turquoise and teal are among my favorite shades to create such effects. I always find these shades very soothing and refreshing.
Ad Campaign of Nars Summer 2009 Collection
In summer 2009, Nars released Single Eyeshadow in Tropic, which is a matte teal with silver glitter. This eyeshadow is inspired by the tropical ocean's reflective, rolling waves, a memory that reminds François Nars, the founder and creative director of Nars, of his home in Tahiti and the life in Polynesia.
Tropic is a dark greenish blue with silver glitter. The shade is very pigmented. The sparkly particles are rather chunky and large.
Other than the glitter part, the eyeshadow powder is soft and smooth to the touch. Blending is easy.
The glitter does not stay on the eyelids well. This is a good thing for me as I am not really a big fan of glitter. On the other hand, the annoying thing is the sparkly particles fall off around my eyes easily when I apply it.
Tropic imparts a well-balanced matte finish between its green and blue undertones, neither overly cool-toned nor overly warm-toned.
This single eyeshadow is quite versatile and wearable. It is deep enough to be applied wet as an eyeliner, and can be built up to a high-pigment finish for a soft, smoky effect. Although it is richly-pigmented, it can be toned down for a sheerer finish.
Lasting Power
The lasting power is fine. This eyeshadow slightly creases in the fold of my eyelids. It wears off slightly within a few hours of application. When the color wears off, the finish turns more greenish.

If someone is in need to borrow quick money, of 15000 dollars with fast approval, but is unable to provide collateral to loan lenders, the person who has bad credit may be worried whether their poor credit record may dampen any chances of getting a guaranteed unsecured personal loan. If you are constantly frustrated at the limited financing options available for people with bad credit, let us work out what are the quick ways you can borrow 15000 dollars with bad credit.
You may not be aware, but there are many online bad credit lenders who give signature loans for people who have poor credit scores and collateral is not a pre-requisite, although that option is also available if you wish to put down your house to get a large personal loan above 100 thousand dollars for 8 years minimum.
When you have a low FICO score under 550, it is true that most traditional banks and commercial lenders will not grant large loans to people with poor credit history. Thankfully, not every legitimate money lender adopts that lending policy.
Some legit private lenders are able to provide large sum financing with no collateral needed and if you need to get a 15000 dollar loan fast with no direct deposit, this may be an option for availing cash with poor credit. However, since no collateral is involved with unsecured personal loans with no cosigner needed, many of these private cash advance lenders with no credit check often justify the higher risk presented in giving guaranteed high risk loans to bad credit borrowers by charging interest fee that can be many times more expensive than a regular bank loan of 10000 dollars.
Therefore, if you need to borrow 15000 dollars with installments and no credit check, make sure you do due diligence on the type of charges associated with these private money lenders and compare a few direct loan companies for their rates.
You can freely request for unsecured personal loan quotes from many legitimate loan lending websites. For a long term loan of 15000 dollar with monthly installment repayments, even a little discount for personal loans online will cut down the total cost of your total payment considerably so make sure you shop around first for the cheapest loans for bad credit by online loan shops and also do your own sums on whether you have the means to repay a 15k personal loan with at least 2 years to pay back.

Museums, Libraries, and Archives in a Digital Age
By G. Wayne Clough, Secretary
A new e–book exploring our digital journey.
The Smithsonian—the world's largest museum and research complex, with collections numbering in excess of 137 million objects and specimens—has long experimented on the digital frontier.
In his book, "Best of Both Worlds: Museums, Libraries, and Archives in a Digital Age," G. Wayne Clough, the Smithsonian's 12th Secretary, surveys the efforts of many world-class institutions, including his own, to use technology to open their collections and programs to the world.
Secretary Clough's thoughtful perspective as a museum leader, educator, and enthusiast provides invaluable insight into how digital technologies will radically alter our existing institutions, make access to their embedded knowledge widely available, and enable learning and research anytime, anywhere.
Download the entire e–book for free (PDF). »
"Best of Both Worlds" Video Introduction
Secretary Wayne Clough explores the Smithsonian's digital journey.
"All our museums offer applications for smartphones and tablets to assist the visitor in choosing exhibitions and learning about them. The apps also allow our visitors to leave their impressions of their visits."
"–in the not-too-distant future we are likely to be able to pull up holograms in our homes of museum objects that have been rendered in three-dimensional digital image files. Already the Smithsonian is producing such files, which can be used with 3-D printers to allow objects from museums to be copied at schools and homes."
"The use of digital technology has to be focused on education and learning, some of which should be structured and purpose driven, and some of which should be open-ended and curiosity-driven."
"An unappreciated aspect of partnerships and collaboratives is the possibility they offer for digital curation that can lead both to digital exhibitions and to more powerful physicalexhibitions."

Yuuko's body finally buried properly and with dignity.
Teiichi & Yuuko's date was really nice to watch ^^
Those two are really sweet together, shame she's a ghost.
Her fading away didn't help much either, poor Teiichi.
Saying goodbye was really hard... but I guess that's what this whole episode was about.
Luckily, Yuuko found another sweet reason to stay ^-^

Saw that last bit coming, funnily enough. The moment Teiichi claimed Okonogi was the one to tidy things up in the room, for some reason, gave it away (not the "Open me and I'll curse you!" box part at the end, bizarrely ) - and despite 'CHOIR JAIL' being played in the background...yeah
When I read the blurb of TOxA back in March, I figured it would be a serious drama of how Yuuko regained her memories and moved on - it partly was, but in between came some of the funniest moments I will ever see from a ghost story anime (which mostly involved Yuuko doing her very best to glomp Teiichi as hard as she could)
Seemed to have the right mix of humour, drama and horror to keep things going right to the end - and the last episode in itself felt just right in terms of doing those last things before finally saying goodbye (though admittedly, as nice as it was to see, the last few minutes seemed like a cop-out to keep the TeiichixYuuko fanboys happy ).
For that (and the series as a whole)...9/10. Not perfect, but still a high quality viewing experience

Meh, what a disappointment. The writers didn't have the courage to let the series finish with its naturally sad conclusion.
All that emotional build-up for Yuuko's disappearance was nullified for the sake of a nonsensical happy end.
Stay together forever, you say? And what happens when Teiichi graduates from middle school, huh? Yeah, let's not think about that...

Loved the ending. Or I should say endings. We got one serious ending, with all the proper emotions. Then a funny, happy little ending that I enjoyed, too. Sakamichi, Hyouka, and this are my three favorite shows of the season.
And maybe now she really is haunting him, as opposed to the school, and can follow him outside the gates. Not that I'm expecting a sequel.

After watching it again, I will say that it was a beautiful ending. It is a good happy ending, better than the crap Evol gave us, and probably better than what Sankarea is gonna end up giving us. I wonder how the manga is going to end?

The only thing that really bothered me thinking back was the pool on the roof...
Maybe's map of the school from chapter 2 mentions two pools the outdoor one which they used in episode 3 and an indoor pool in the new gymnasium.
a minor complaint true but noticeable...

And when Teiichi graduates from middle school he'll study in their high school. The school is that big FYI. And even when he graduates from high school Yuuko will still be around him since she's haunting Teiichi and not the school.

Anime Watchman
Just watched the last episode...I liked it but didn't like it at the same time. To me, I thought it was a cop out that Yuuko came back. It cheapened the effect of her actually saying good by to Teiichi. I guess it was just hard for me to separate the reality from the fiction, which is what I think some viewers may have a hard time doing.
On the other hand, it was good to see them both together again. Definitely brings a warm feeling in your heart as their love for one another is pure and genuine. I'm sort of curious just how long will this last.
All in all, I enjoyed the series and glad I took a chance on watching this. I think I'll go ahead and read the manga and see how things will turn out from there.

Well what could they do, the Manga just reach this scenario. The director had to improvise and I like it. Overall, I am happy it turned out this way. There been a lot of disappointments I seen when concerning Manga turning into an animation. This isn't one of them and I am glad.

I don't what to say about the end, it would be lot better if it end with sad ending, or salvation after few years, like fast forward 2-3 years before they reunited, it feels simply too forced at this point.
anyway whats the song played during the book scene

(Edit 2: I should say the way she's literally bound is obviously not clear; she may still be bound to the school even though Teiichi "brought he back". She's probably the one who cleaned-up the clubroom, because she had to have set the "trap" for Teiichi to open. So she would have been there when he wasn't around, which means she's not so bound to him that she can't leave his side or has to go with him everywhere. This part's not clear, but perhaps they'll show more in Episode 13 on the BDs, if it's in fact a follow-up episode.)
Edit: By the way, just noticed: during the credits, just before Yuuko gives Teiichi the kiss on the floor, the skull that falls off the desk is blushing.

For those wondering what a future relationship between Teiichi and Yuuko would look like, I suggest reading a manga called "My lovely ghost Kana". I could easily see something like that happening in this case. Fair warning though, it's not an H-manga but sexual acts do occur (more along the lines of what you would see in "Koi wo Suru no ga Shigoto desu"). It's a great romance read either way.
For those wondering about the insert song, all I know is that it's called Requiem by Nao Hiiragi. I haven't been able to find any info on a single release though. To sate my craving for it I ripped what I could from a live action PV someone posted a while back (might've been this thread, can't remember). Still dying for the whole thing though!
EDIT: Also, after watching the final episode for the nth time, I can't get over how perfect Teiichi's desperation was portrayed when Yuuko could no longer hold the pencil and he'd thought she already disappeared.

Truthfully, I feel like it would be the sad ending that would feel like the cop-out. After some of the best romantic moments I've seen in anime (in ep. 8 and 11 in particular, of course), and given the overall lighthearted nature of the series, giving us the "yeah, yeah, problem resolved, ghost moves on to the afterlife and kid heads towards an ordinary life" ending would have seemed like the writers felt shackled to the tropes of the ghost story. Basically, I will now be buying this series (and very likely re-watching it with my wife), where if it had ended bittersweetly I'd have said, "Well, that was entertaining" and walked away.
Mind you, I'm not saying that I don't feel a bit trolled by the last-second swerve (though, as relentlessflame pointed out, it's not like it went entirely unforeshadowed) and how it jerked my emotions around, but I'm glad it ended where it did. I'm also glad that it actually had the guts to, well, end, as opposed to having some ambiguous cop-out (like if Teiichi had walked into the room, seen what he'd seen, opened the box, and they'd ended there) like way too much anime does.

Investors looking to measure the profitability of Prevail Therapeutics Inc. (NasdaqGM:PRVL) should take note of the one year net profit growth ratio of . Ultimately profitability is the metric that matters for a firm and it's investors. Companies able to post consistent profits likely will see consistent share price growth as well.
Investors might be searching high and low to find some good deals in the equity market. With the market riding high, it may be difficult to find great bargain basement stocks. Filtering through the technicals may help locate some stocks that are poised to make a run even higher. Many investors will choose to look at all the technical indicators while some will zoom in on a few hand-picked ones. Shuffling through the markets may get dizzying at times, but that little extra research might just help locate that diamond in the rough that has yet to break out. Investors may be holding on to a big winner or two in the portfolio. At current market levels, it may be tempting to take some profits, and this may create a major dilemma for the individual investor.
Prevail Therapeutics Inc. (NasdaqGM:PRVL) shares currently have a 125/250 day adjusted slope average of . The Adjusted Slope 125/250d indicator is equal to the average annualized exponential regression slope, over the past 125 and 250 trading days, multiplied by the coefficient of determination (R2). This indicator is useful in helping find shares that have been on a consistent upward direction over the past six months to a year. Generally speaking, the higher the 125/250 value the better as this would indicate a consistent increase closely correlates to the actual stock price.
Making the grade in the equity market may not come easily. There is constantly news and information swirling about the next big stock that is ready to take off. Doing a deep-dive into the fundamentals of a specific company may help uncover some data that may help sway the decision whether to jump in or stay out. Some investors may choose to take a contrarian approach when selecting stocks. A contrarian investing strategy may involve buying when everybody is selling, or vice-versa. Contrarians may take the mindset that markets have the ability to overreact to good news or bad news. Going against the grain may not be the easiest strategy to adapt for the novice. Investors may need to fine tune their skills in order to go generally against the crowd. There may come a time when everyone may be selling out of a stock for no real apparent reason. Taking a closer look at stocks like this may reveal some information that may help put the mind at ease.

Target weight is the volatility adjusted recommended position size for a stock in your portfolio. The maximum target weight is 7% for any given stock.

Cross SMA 50/200 = 50 day moving average / 200day moving average. If the Cross SMA 50/200 value is greater than 1, it tell us that the 50 day moving average is above the 200 day moving average (golden cross), indicating an upward moving share price.
On the other hand if the Cross SMA 50/200 value is less than 1, this shows that the 50 day moving average is below the 200 day moving average (a death cross), and tells us that share prices has fallen recently and may continue to do so.
Many individual investors would agree that self confidence can play a major role when investing in the stock market. Learning how to trust instinct might be the difference between a good trade and a great trade. Investors who are able to develop a high level of self confidence may be able to pull the handle on a trade that most other people wouldn't. Of course this may work against the investor who pushes self confidence into over confidence territory. Investors may also have to master the art of being patient in the stock market. Often times there are strategies that take time to fully develop. Taking the time to make solid investing decisions can mean the difference between realized profits and portfolio busters.

Phil has created this in-depth, hour long, audio support pack especially for those who have taken the LP and want to focus on resolving anxiety, stress and panic attacks. It's like having a personal session with Phil, that you can listen to any time.
He takes you though:
* Understanding the symptoms and issues of anxiety, stress, panic attacks
* How to use your LP skills to change how you feel and your body's response
* The most common 'fine-tuning' needed to make even stronger change
* Guided coaching: taking you through the precise tools of the LP that you learnt on the seminar, to make lasting change
* A section dedicated to the 'HOW question' – How to get deeply relaxed and get into the right state You can replay this section time and time again to deepen your familiarity with those helpful and healing pathways.
Included in this package is exclusive access to an interactive support forum to help put the training included in the download into practice and where you can ask Phil and other practitioners any questions you have about the Lightning Process. It also gives you an opportunity to talk to other people who have bought this product.
Running time approx. 59 mins
Please note:
This is not suitable for anyone who hasn't taken the LP seminar – as it assumes you have all the tools and training it really won't make much sense to non-LP graduates.
Don't listen to it whilst driving or anywhere where you need be focused.
Always seek help from your practitioner in addition to using this support package.
How do I download it?
It couldn't be simpler, as after purchasing it you'll be sent an email:
- In the email you will receive there will be a link to your download, clicking on this link will transfer the audio programme to your computer
- Some computer do this for you already, so please check your 'Download' folder to find it!

If you don't receive your email within a few minutes please check your junk folder as it's likely to have gone there by mistake!
Please don't download these directly onto your iPad or iPhone – it won't work. You'll need to download them to your computer first, add them to iTunes and then sync to your iPad or iPhone – sorry it's an apple thing

You received a device to put in your arm. The device has two half dollar coins inside, so if you move your arm these coins will make noise. Besides, the device has a brass ring that you can adjust to eliminate the coin noise. If you put the device in your arm as picture show, you can close the brass ring pushing your arm against your body. Imagine thousand routines where the people will believe that you have coins in your hands.

Four years ago, I wrote Read This First to help executives understand the role of social media in their businesses. And while much has changed over the past few years, more has stayed the same. Marketing success in the age of social networks requires a different approach to content creation.
I've spent the past few years trying to distill "different approach" into a compact, yet powerful statement–an elevator speech if you will. I found it last month in one of the most unlikely places.
Pigskin Storytelling
The father and son team of Ed and Steve Sabol founded NFL Films in the early 1960s. Their work changed not only the way football games were recorded, but probably influenced the way all sporting events were memorialized. An NFL Film tells the story of the gridiron, where infinite forces clash with immovable objects, resulting in serious consequences for the game's battle-hardened warriors. Rather than mounting a single camera at the 50-yard line to view the game as a spectator, they used cinematography techniques including multiple cameras and camera-angles to cover a game. But the magic of an NFL Film story occurred in post production, when they added the velvety baritone voice of John Facenda reading perfectly-written voice-over narratives.
We lost Steve Sabol in September of last year. But it was while I was watching one of his works that I found my elusive elevator pitch. Steve said:
Tell me a fact and I'll learn.
Tell me the truth and I'll believe.
But, tell me a story, and it'll live in my heart forever.
The statement hit me with the force of blitzing linebacker, because most companies are great at telling facts and truths, yet fall short at telling stories. Therefore, the role of a content marketer is to transform company facts and truths into in stories.
Rule #5 from Ann Handley and C.C. Chapman's seminal book, Content Rules says: "Reimagine; don't recycle."
Therefore, applying some Sabolization to their rule, we get:
"Content marketers need to reimagine a company's facts and truths into stories as opposed to recycling them into more facts and truths."
Give it a try. The next time someone asks what your role is, just give them a little Steve Sabol.
