BOSTON (MarketWatch) - Shares of partners Elan Corp. and Biogen Idec were trending downward Wednesday afternoon, following news that the Food and Drug Administration has issued a new safety warning about its multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri.
Elan ELN, -11.11% shares skidded almost 8% to $22.48, while Biogen BIIB, -0.17% shares eased about 2% to $60.20.
On Wednesday, the FDA released a statement on its website advising medical professionals that it has received reports that some patients showed signs of serious liver damage after just six days of taking Tysabri.
The agency advised doctors to discontinue the drug in any patients showing signs of jaundice or other symptoms of liver injury. It added that doctors should also advise patients that the medication could cause liver injury.
Although considered to be highly effective in treating MS, Tysabri's history has been checkered.
Approved in late 2004, Tysabri was yanked from the market after just a few months after three recipients were revealed to have contracted an extremely rare but deadly brain disease known as PML. The drug was returned to the market, with tight prescribing restrictions, in the summer of 2006 after it was determined the PML cases were caused by an unusual drug interaction.
In mid-January, Tysabri was also approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease, with certain safety restrictions. European regulators, however, have so far declined to approve the drug for Crohn's.
Before it was taken from the market, some analysts had projected that Tysabri, which is better tolerated than most other MS medications, could have sales in excess of $4 billion a year. Those estimates have been markedly reduced in recent quarters, although many still believe the drug could have sales of over $1 billion if no other major safety issues emerge.
For the fourth-quarter 2007, Biogen said that Tysabri had worldwide sales of $129 million, with 21,000 users. Biogen has maintained it anticipates the drug will have about 100,000 users by 2010.

Summary: Use the Surface Hub solution to monitor the heartbeat and calendaring of your Microsoft Surface Hub installations.
Good morning everyone. Ed Wilson here. One of the cool things I love about getting to go to a Microsoft campus somewhere, is getting to see all of the latest products and devices first hand. When I lived in Charlotte, it was pretty easy, because there was a decent-sized Microsoft campus there. But now that I am living in Tampa, going on campus is really a special event—like a trip to Disney World for geeks.
The Scripting Wife and I have taken to hanging out at the Microsoft Store. Of course, there is a very real danger about doing that. We recently came home with two brand new Lumia 950 XL phones to prove it. It is a near miss that we didn't have a Microsoft Surface Hub follow us home. If they had one for sale in the store, it might have been the ultimate impulse buy. Luckily, we have one the office on campus.
The MS OMS Surface Hub solution
In the Microsoft Operations Management Suite, I add the Surface Hub solution from the Solutions Gallery. As shown here, I can find a link to the Solutions Gallery in the left pane of my MS OMS Overview screen:
When I am in the Solutions Gallery, I am confronted with a lot of solutions:
I don't see a search tool, so I scroll along and browse through the solutions. This is a pretty cool way to see what is coming soon, and what other things may be available to me. The solutions don't appear to be in alphabetical order, but the icons help me find the one I want…it is near the end:
I click the Surface Hub solution, and it takes me to a Details screen that shows me what the overview panel would look like. It also tells me the capabilities and what I will be able to do. It even tells me the data collected and prerequisites. Way cool. The Details screen for the Surface Hub solution looks like this:
By the way, this is also where I can uninstall the solution if for some reason I decided I did not need it any more.
When the solution is installed, it appears on my home screen. In the Surface Hub tile, I can see that I have one device:
I click the tile and I am brought into the Surface Hub Overview screen. It tells me that all of my Surface Hubs are heartbeating and that they are all syncing their calendars. I do not have any wireless or wired projections. This is shown here:
Like all of the other solutions we have looked at, it is made up of queries. For example, if I select the Availability graph, it takes me to a query and shows my events and records:
EventName=heartbeat Type=DeviceHeartbeat | sort TimeGenerated asc
There are not a lot of records and not a lot of devices, but this clearly shows that if I had lots of Surface Hubs scattered around, I most certainly could get the status and keep an eye on them. I could even be proactive by setting up alerts so I would know when they are not working. And that is cool.
That is all I have for you today. Join me back here on Monday when I will talk about more way cool #MSOMS stuff.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and the Microsoft OMS Facebook site. If you want to learn more about Windows PowerShell, visit the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog. If you have any questions, send email to me at email@example.com. I wish you a wonderful day, and I'll see you tomorrow.

10 Things to Know for Friday
FILE- In this June 4, 2011 file photo, high-wire acrobats Delilah Wallenda, right, lowers her head as her son Nik Wallenda, left, crosses over her during their high-wire act where the two simultaneously walked across a 300-foot-long wire suspended 100 feet in the air between two towers of the Conrad Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. They were honoring Nik's great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, who tried to perform the same feat in 1978 but fell to his death at age 73. On Friday, June 15, 2012, Karl's great grandson, Nick Wallenda, will attempt a high wire walk over Niagara Falls on live television, hoping to write his famous family's name into the 153-year-old legend of daredevils who've "conquered" the natural wonder.

The Herald-Sun op-ed
Opinion Piece
23 February 2016
Daily Telegraph
As Australia's fastest growing city, it is vital that Melbourne has the road and rail networks it needs to keep people moving.
But big transport projects take a lot of planning. East-West Link was first recommended in the 2006 Eddington Review.
The Commonwealth Government committed $3 billion to get this project moving. Yet after coming to government in 2015, the Andrews Government terminated the contracts on this project – costing Victorian taxpayers $1.1 billion.
Now the Victorian Labor Government is asking the Commonwealth to fund the Melbourne Metro rail project.
Melbourne Metro aims to allow for 20,000 more passengers to use the metropolitan rail network in peak hour, as well as allow for the future expansion of Melbourne's public transport network.
But it will cost at least $9 billion – so we need to look carefully at whether this is a good use of taxpayers' money.
That is why the Turnbull Government says we need to see a business case for Melbourne Metro from the Victorian Government – so that it can then be subject to assessment by Infrastructure Australia.
This is the very thing that Infrastructure Australia was designed to do – when it was set up by Federal Labor's Anthony Albanese in 2008.
It would assess and prioritise infrastructure proposals, he said in 2008, and make recommendations to the Government about 'which projects are top priorities.'
Infrastructure Australia would apply rigorous cost benefit analysis – enabling it to recommend actions that would boost national productivity.
According to Albanese's website, the formation of Infrastructure Australia was one of the highlights of his time in government. It would "break the nexus between the short termism of the political cycle and the long-term vision necessary for the infrastructure investment cycle."
Even as recently as June 2015, Albanese was pressing for Infrastructure Australia to have an even stronger role, saying the laws should be strengthened so future capital works would only be funded if they were given the approval of IA.
But two and a half years into Opposition, Mr Albanese seems to have abandoned his previous high minded commitment to rational prioritisation of infrastructure projects.
Last Friday he said Melbourne Metro would be Labor's first priority for Victorian infrastructure under a federal Labor government – even though the Andrews Government has not yet completed a business case for Melbourne Metro. One has certainly not yet been assessed by Infrastructure Australia.
Infrastructure Australia either sets priorities – or it does not. It is either a gatekeeper – or it is not.
Even more curious is the justification he offers for his offer of a blank cheque: he says Victoria has been 'dudded' because it received less in Commonwealth infrastructure funding than its share of population.
This argument founders on a basic factual point: if the Victorian Labor Government had not irresponsibly cancelled the East-West Link project, there would be $3 billion of Commonwealth funding going to Victoria and the state's share would be considerably higher.
But it is also a telling example of how Albanese has changed his tune in Opposition. In a 2008 speech, Albanese firmly rejected the argument that state funding should be proportionate to population. His 'Building Australia Fund', he was at pains to say, was "not a business-as-usual fund whereby the states will sit down and tally up we've got 20 per cent of the population so we'll bid for 30 per cent of the funds and end up settling back to 20."
Now he advocates the population share principle which he previously rejected.
In Government Albanese spoke about prioritising projects, implicitly recognising that not everything can be funded at the same time. But in Opposition Albanese is promising everything to everyone – and every project seems to be his first priority.
In October last year he joined with Bill Shorten in announcing that Labor would deliver a laundry list of projects around Australia, including Melbourne Metro.
A reasonable estimate suggests these projects would cost between thirty and fifty billion dollars – yet Albanese proposed to deliver them with a $10 billion fund, much of which is borrowed money.
Some of what Albanese says makes sense. It is true that the infrastructure investment cycle needs long term vision.
That is why when the Coalition came to power we maintained funding for projects initiated under Labor, such as the Moreton Bay Rail Link in Brisbane and WestConnex in Sydney.
Sadly we have seen no such consistency from Victorian Labor in Government - with its abandonment of East West Link - or federal Labor in opposition, with Albanese recently walking away from his previous support for Sydney's WestConnex.
Federal Labor is making big promises about Melbourne Metro – without doing the detailed work.
This project – like every other major infrastructure project – needs proper assessment by Infrastructure Australia before the Commonwealth can consider whether to fund it.
This is the body which Anthony Albanese set up and the process he championed when in Government.
Mr Albanese can turn his back on his previous approach and pursue 'the short termism of the political cycle.'
The Turnbull Government will have Infrastructure Australia carefully assess Melbourne Metro, and other infrastructure proposals, before we decide if they merit funding.

text: BUCHANAN Robert Kuntz could be called a visionary. Where others see scraps of wood and metal, he sees artistic figures and sculptures. Kuntz's sculptures have graced area parks, landmarks and business for years, and they now can be found inside the Buchanan Art Center's Shirley and Donald Roti Roti Gallery. His commissioned works include "Trilithon," a steel sculpture near the Morris Performing Arts Center in South Bend and "Volatus Aquilae," a steel sculpture of an eagle in flight for Mishawaka's River Walk park. He is also the creator of "Standing Tall," a 9/11 memorial of steel in St. Patrick's County Park north of South Bend. The 9/11 memorial was completed in 2003. This exhibition of his works, titled "Wood and Steel: Small Sculptures by Robert Kuntz," will be up through Feb. 21. Kuntz has combined his practical knowledge of woodworking with his ability to create unique sculptures. "I can look at scraps and shapes and then can visualize what they could become," he said. He is a woodworker by trade but has studied sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago's Contemporary Art Workshop and at Indiana University at South Bend. He considers his time working as a clay modeler for Raymond Loewy and Associates in South Bend as one of the highlights of his life. "Loewy designed a lot of items, including Coke bottles and Studebaker automobiles," he said. "That's one thing I wanted to do all my life. I loved cars and I wanted to design cars, but I only did the modeling." He has taught sculpture at Saint Mary's College and Goshen College in the past. He currently owns and manages Model Tech Display Studio in South Bend, which specializes in reproducing wood moldings for homes. "I run a small woodworking shop where I usually work from someone else's blueprints," he said. "But when creating a piece of art, I work directly in the wood, steel or other material, usually without a drawing or even a preconceived idea of the finished sculpture. "I enjoy experimenting with three-dimensional shapes and methods of connecting them. Some of my favorite pieces are birds, human figures and religious themes." Kuntz said he got into sculpture many years ago after becoming disgusted with painting. "I started out painting because those were the only kind of art classes available after I got out of high school," he said. "My art studies began with drawing and painting, but I felt I didn't have a good sense of color and soon switched to sculpture. At that time, the British sculptors Henry Moore, Kenneth Armitage and Reg Butler were popular and were great inspirations to me. "When I was younger, I did a lot of traveling and saw large figurative sculptures. They impressed me and I told myself I would love to do that. That always stuck with me." Kuntz describes his style as a combination of realism, abstract with some geometric cubism thrown in. People will see a variety of styles and subjects in the art center show, including birds, several crosses and crucifixes and one of Joan of Arc. The art center exhibit came about after he came last year to see a show by painter Dan Schwob and started talking to the center's staff. Kuntz sees his sculptures, especially the large public ones found around the South Bend and Mishawaka area, as his legacy. "They mean something," he said. "With so many people I have known, when they die, there's nothing there to indicate that the person lived. "But with these sculptures set in concrete, someone in the future will be there to wonder who made it."

According to an item in today's New York Post, there's a bit of tension between Mario Lopez and one of his co-stars in the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line — and it all appears to revolve around skimpy men's clothes.
First, the article claims that the Dancing With the Stars runner-up requested a costume change for muscular co-star Nick Adams so as to not have his own bulging biceps be upstaged.
And now comes a report that men's underwear company 2(x)ist, which had been about to sign Mario for a new ad, has kicked the Saved By the Bell star to the curb and selected — you guessed it — archrival Nick as the fella to go shirtless in their skivvies.
"Mario was originally No. 1 on our radar as we planned the campaign," the article quotes an insider as saying. "We were ready to call him with an offer, but then we saw Nick. He's younger, sexy, more interesting. On top of that, his body was crazy. We set up a meeting, and when he walked in, that was it. We never even looked at anyone else after that."

While my parents were in town we went up to my grandfather's cabin they are renovating, which is looking fantastic by the way! They had a TON of antiques in that little old place. They were kind enough to give me a few goodies they didn't have a need for. I ended up taking two beautiful antique doors & a charming old wooden bed.
I don't have any immediate plans for the doors, but they will eventually end up somewhere in my house as everything comes together. The bed is full sized & I want to put in B's room. It's pretty heavy, made of solid wood & has some really ornate woodwork on the headboard. It needs a LOT of work. I got it home & my grandfather then told me that all of the brown stains on it is actually rat urine. Wow! Never thought in a million years that I would be scrubbing off rat pee from a really old bed. Needless to say this is not going to be a quick project.
Headboard (after it had been cleaned)
Footboard with paint stripper applied.
Also scored an awesome mirror from this local estate sale warehouse. Just look at this beauty! It will definitely be painted at some point, not sure what color yet. It's huge & the best thing is I only paid $20! I am super excited about this gem!
Look at the detail...
And this majestic chair, dying to be painted & recovered. Only $3.99 baby! Thanks to Savers thrift store.
Look at this coffee table I found for FREE on Craigs List! Gotta love free!!! Its beat to heck & I took the photo after I had already sanded the top. There was even a piece of chewed up gum stuck to the underside of the table. Thanks for that little chewed up treasure!
Here's a lovely little antique dresser I got from the estate sale warehouse as well. Not too bad of a price at $30.
Picked these up at Goodwill for $3.50. These are going to be gorgeous once they are painted a bright, fun color! I am going to place some colorful fabric in the cutout areas.
Found these mason jars at the thrift stores/estate sale warehouse. Didn't pay more than a buck a piece! And the sweet little bird cage was from a local antique store. Love it!
This ginormous brass lamp I thought would look great in one of the guest bedrooms. Don't worry, I won't leave it gold... ;) Just $5 at Goodwill.
Last but not least I got this cheese cloche at Goodwill. The photo isn't mine, I borrowed it from Flickr. However, it looks exactly the same. I am painting the base & need to find a small candle stick holder to attach it to, similar to the awesome one found here at Live It. Love It. Craft It.

Class 3A All Tournament Team
The 2017-2018 basketball season has come to an end and it featured fast and exciting action. The 6A-2A state tournament wrapped up on Saturday and we're recognizing the absolute best performances from the state tournament with our OKPreps All Tournament Teams. For a more in-depth breakdown on the MVP selections, check out our post from earlier today. Up next, here's the Class 3A All Tournament Team.
Brandon Zeno – Star Spencer
– Teammate Latarryus Smith was the MVP but Brandon Zeno played a big role in Star Spencer's run to the title.
Dalton Vinson – Hennessey
– Hennessey got bounced after a quarterfinal rally from Mount Saint Mary. Despite that, Dalton Vinson was dominant.
Jacob Germany – Kingston
– One of the top junior prospects in the state showed why he is just that as he could not be stopped during the tournament.
Latarryus Smith – Star Spencer (MVP)
– This year's tournament MVP was unstoppable in the championship game, leading Star Spencer to their 9th state title.
Stephon Hall – Mount Saint Mary
– He was their best player all season and Stephon Hall helped lead MSM all the way to the 3A semifinals.
Alexys Keys – Tahlequah Sequoyah (MVP)
– For the second straight year, Tahlequah Sequoyah's Alexys Keys is the tournament's MVP after leading Sequoyah to another title.
Gabby Gregory – Holland Hall
– Holland Hall's Gabby Gregory had one of the best single-game performances with nearly 40 points and 23 rebounds.
Jonia Walker – Tahlequah Sequoyah
– Tahlequah Sequoyah's Jonia Walker was right there with Keys as an MVP candidate. Both had fantastic state tournaments.
Kes Reeves – Kingston
– Nobody saw Kingston coming as a team that would make the title game. Kes Reeves was a big reason for their remarkable run.
Misty Dossey – Comanche
– One of the most dominant players in 3A basketball was a force in the tournament once again. They fell short of another title game.

Online support groups have the potential to improve the access and delivery of services to a wide range of people who reside worldwide. They provide an alternative vehicle of support for people in distress when it may be culturally stigmatizing to seek face-to-face support. They are not appropriate for everyone, nor can everyone worldwide access online support groups. This paper presents a brief history of online support groups and discusses their cultural implications. It discusses issues for the group leaders as well as the benefits and limitations of these groups. (ADT)

"The Illusions of Eventide" by Sarah M. Cradit
The Illusions of Eventide by Sarah M. Cradit is deep drama surrounding a Southern American family who is not entirely what they seem. Blessed (or cursed) with mystical gifts and a large estate they seem to have it all, but reluctant patriarch Nicolas is definitely not content with his lot in life, until he meets a strange woman named Mercy, and his whole life, as well as the lives of his family, change forever. Secrets are revealed that will change relationships and forge new ones and ultimately the Deschanel's and the Empyreans will have to make some difficult choices.
This book by Sarah M. Cradit is captivating. Less fantastical and more centred around human dramas we meet the characters rather organically as they are slowly drawn into the world of Mercy, a mysterious woman on the run. Cradit does a lovely job of laying out the world her characters inhabit without giving you a history lesson in the process, difficult to do but here it works. The bonus is that if you want to learn more there are prequels and sequels aplenty.
I have to say that I don't always read the authors notes at the beginning of their books, I have so many to read that I try and get to the meaty stuff as soon as possible, but in this case I did read it and I am so glad I did. Cradit has obviously taken a long time to build this world and the stories that populate it, and she makes sure you know where to go if you want to find more. For example, the relationship between two of the characters, Ana and Finn, are part of a prequel book in the series and give you the juicy details of events that are only alluded to in this book. Additionally, Cradit mentions that maps and genealogical documents for the characters are available as bonus material on her website, as adding them into eBook formats compromised the look of those files. Extras aside Cradit has clearly put a lot of work into this series and I think it pays off.
As I said it is rife with human drama, mostly centered around relationships, and while I love the melding of different genres I do have to say the extended exposition of some of the characters did sometimes strain my understanding of them at times. Especially in the case of the Nicolas, he would often go into long winded bouts of self-assessment about his feelings that you might think his entire persona is centered around his feelings. Occasionally some of his feelings are contradictory and the reader is left feeling confused about what THEY should be feeling as a result. In the end though this conflict within the character leads us to see him as the flawed three dimensional person the author intended, in stark contrast to the low life single minded person he tries to project himself as in the world.
Emotional exposition aside, the book is captivating, complicated and shows just how messy love can be, in all its forms. The sprinkling of fantasy elements only adds to this message, that no matter what kind of being you are emotions can be tough to translate. If you want a book that has some legs to it, then look no further than the Crimson & Clover series.

So you want to live the blogger lifestyle? Some really good reasons why this could be your calling is:
1) you love writing, sharing and being sociable
2) you want to spend more time with family, friends, without having to answer to anyone
3) you enjoy being free, doing what you want; when you want
which brings me to…
4) becoming financially free. Read on to see how bloggers are making it happen and living the dream.
How easily this is accomplished really depends on how much you like to write. People may think all you have to do is create a blog and you'll start making money and possibly even get famous. Well, anything is possible but let's start off at a nice slow pace before we get ahead of ourselves.
Start Blog Free and Make Money
As you may know by now a blog is no different than a free website that automatically posts all of your article entries on the home page, which is called a blog roll. Most blogging platforms and website builder services are free, but keep in mind you will not own the website if you choose to use these types of companies.
Most professional bloggers end up buying their own domain names, because as they start earning good incomes they want to be in full control of their websites. I'll get into this shortly. Let's get back to the fun part. So what better way to make some extra money than by writing about something you know about or are passionate about?
Starting a Blog for Profit?
If you're not sure what the process is to make money online with your own blog, you'll find out by the end of this article I promise. I'll be pointing you in the direction of some great free resources to get you going. First decide what you want your blog to be about. In other words, what are you an expert in or know enough about a subject to write about it?
Bloggers write about something that interests them, something they know about and that others find interesting as well. What's important is that you pick a general subject for your blog that you can consistently write posts for on topics that you won't get tired of writing about.
You don't need your own product to sell online. You will be an affiliate that sends people to the website that sells the products, and for sending them over they will pay you a commission. You will get a custom link that you'll use on your site which identifies the visitor as coming from your site. You will then get paid a commission should that visitor end up purchasing from the site you recommended that they visit.
There are affiliate programs and products to sell no matter what niche you choose. Believe me. If you are not familiar with what affiliate programs are and how bloggers use them to make money, then before reading on click below to watch the video (when at their site scroll down to view video). Watch more video lessons there, just use their search function.
Then its time to find products/services that relate to that topic. You can write reviews or opinions on certain products or books, etc. Well the possibility is really endless with what you can sell and like I said you don't need a physical product of your own to sell, just a product or service to tie in with your article topic.
For example, you could write an article about how you tried a certain diet and how well it worked, then find a digital book relating to dieting to recommend. To find this product you could type into google: "dieting books + affiliate program". You will be surprised how many products there are for you to promote.
Traffic = Money
The trick to making money is getting traffic to your blog. Luckily you don't need expensive Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies since Google changed their algorithm. The trick to getting traffic to your blog is writing a lot. Because every article you write will get indexed into the search engines allowing people to find your site. Think of each blog post as a fishing net to pull in a pool of fresh fish (readers).
Google likes sites that use WordPress because they are easy to crawl and they like websites that are updated with new quality content often. The more you write, the more your site gets crawled by search engines, and the more times your article will appear in the search results.
Choosing the Right Blog Post Titles
The title you select for your blog post is important because it will contain the keywords that search engines like Google and Bing will use to list you in the results. You want to find phrases that have good amounts of monthly traffic and at the same time have a small amount of related sites, low competition.
The more people that visit your site, the higher the chances are that they will click on your links to products which contain your identifier given by the affiliate program provider.
If they end up buying something after clicking over from your blog you will get paid a commission, simple as that.
But How Do I Know What People Are Searching For?
That's where blogging tools come into play. One of which is a keyword tool that shows how many people have entered a certain phrase per month into the search engines. In my experience, using Jaaxy is the most accurate because it pulls results from all the search engines, not just Google.
Just type in a few keywords or a short phrase to see how many people have searched for exactly what you've typed in. I don't want to get into all the details here. There is a video explaining perfectly how to do this here.
You can also try the software for yourself free below. You get 30 free searches to try it out.
Check out this video to see it in action. (Just click on "Learn About Enterprise!" at the top of their home page)
Why You Should Own Your Own Domain Name?
When you start getting a lot of traffic and a following, the last thing you want to happen is to have your website go down. Ultimately, you don't own your site or content when blogging on platforms such as blogger or Wix. If you blog for a living and if their websites get hacked or are out of service for any reason, their incomes could be lost overnight.
There could be a number of reasons this could happen. For one, the blogging platform could crash, change of ownership, they could even go out of business. Some platforms don't allow certain ads and links so if they were to ban this function you would also loose you revenue stream, not to mention all the time and hard work it took to get ranked in the search engines.
The cheapest and most reliable domain name company that we recommend is NameCheap. Don't hassle with all the up-sells and confusing pricing with the other companies.
Watch Step-by-Step Tutorials of How It All Works
Of course, more detailed instruction is in order if you really are into starting a blog for profit. This is needed to fully explain all the steps to start earning an income online. If you are interested in learning more you can find all the resources you'll ever need by checking out my top recommended online affiliate community that teaches the concepts to just start blog free and make money better than any other and its free to join. If you have any questions just join the discussion and chat with the people over there.
I've also done a full review of the Wealthy Affiliate here. Good luck getting started and I hope I've given you enough to take some action today.

Kirsten Dunst has become the first L'Oréal Professionnel spokesperson.
The 31-year-old actress is to front campaigns for the haircare giant's new products Wild Stylers from Tecni.Art, Beach Waves and Absolut Repair Lipidium later this year.
Kirsten is pleased to be a part of a company that she respects so much and had nothing but praise for L'Oréal's work ethics.
"I feel very close to L'Oréal Professionnel," she told WWD. "The brand is strongly connected to fashion, and I admire its commitment to innovation, constantly creating new professional services and products to achieve the most on-trend styles."
Anne-Laure Lecerf, international managing director of L'Oréal Professionnel, is also happy to have the blonde beauty's involvement. Describing her as a "timeless beauty", Anne-Laure explained her reasons behind choosing Kirsten as the brand's new spokesperson.
"She has a strong personality and makes her own choices. Her great professionalism and commitment to excellence make Kirsten one of the [most] talented actresses I have ever met," Anne-Laure gushed. "She has the perfect attributes to embody the new values of L'Oréal Professionnel."
Kirsten previously admitted her hair is one of her favourite features. However, she revealed there was once a time she chopped her locks after a former flame urged her to go short.
"I think I have good hair. The last time I cut it short, my boyfriend at the time was like, 'You look so much better with short hair.' So I cut it off," she admitted,
"I know, I know, so stupid! My girlfriend thinks he just didn't want any guys to look at me.?'Mwuh-hah-hah! How can I make her ugly? Cut off her hair!'"

The primary principles of LHSN Schools are:
- Mentorship between students and adults: LHSN schools promote student collaboration with community members and industry professionals to promote responsibility
- Student Voice: Students are involved in decision making at the schools
- Relevancy: We create thrilling learning opportunities that are relevant, engaging, and adaptable to individual students with unique needs.
- Transition: This is a focus the day students begin school. We work to ensure students are prepared and supported through all transitions, academic or otherwise. Students participate in many transition activities primarily through Advisory
- Support and Preparation: School culture values the buddy system, group work, gateway/exhibition support, and mentorship
- Heterogeneous grouping: LHSN schools are equitable in grouping students by age, grade, gender, ability, language, etc. to ensure all students are fully supported by peers and staff
- Student growth, physical fitness, nutrition and health: Students learn to deal with their responsibilities, identify pressures and access support, reach their maximum potential, meet high expectations, learn from breakdowns, celebrate successes, and be healthy physically, intellectually, and emotionally
- Advocacy: Students learn to advocate by the student, with the student, and for the student.

The Funny Dictionary: An A–Z of Kids' Funny Definitions (2018), like many books of howlers, owes its greatest debt to the indefatigable collector of howlers, English journalist, novelist, publisher, and literary agent Cecil Hunt. This tribute to Cecil is very much a work in progress. I have found it quite difficult, researching from Australia, to learn everything I can about Cecil's life, work, and death. Like Cecil, I have an ingrained curiosity, and I am especially curious about interesting and passionate people such as Cecil Hunt. If you have further information about (Horace) Cecil Hunt, especially for the years 1948–54, or if you have any corrections to suggest, please email me so that I may incorporate the extra information into future edits.
Cecil Hunt (13 September 1902–13 July 1954) lived a relatively short life, but for him life was never a matter of years, but a matter of living. Even as a child, he participated in everything he could — singing, Scouting, playing sports, and reading widely. But his greatest passion was writing. In his lifetime, he wrote around 60 books — not only humour books but also novels, quiz books, books on journalism, and more (see 'Works by Cecil Hunt', below).
Cecil was born to Horace Richard Barnes Hunt and Constance Kate Sharpe Hunt in Wood Green, then a new North London suburb. Constance came from a family of Kentish farmers; Cecil never knew his maternal grandparents. Horace Senior was a Northampton man; Cecil's paternal grandfather, when walking the dogs, frequently met with Charles Dickens. (Cecil would later be responsible for serialising Dickens' Life of Our Lord for The Daily Mail, the rights to which cost the newspaper 40,000 pounds in the 1930s, for a book that comprised just 14,000 words.)
Cecil's father, himself a keen reader, encouraged Cecil to read from an early age. The spare room, littered with piles and boxes of books, became a secret haven for Cecil. The first book Cecil could remember reading was Swiss Family Robinson, though it is almost certainly not the first book he read.
Cecil's first school was a private school in Wood Green. Cecil described himself as 'a wretched pupil, uninterested in most of the lessons'.[1] He was left-handed, a trait that the school tried to stop, since in those days left-handedness was seen as sinister. Cecil described the conversion process as 'painful'.[2] Writing in 1935, Cecil said he would never allow a child of his to be forced to change their natural left-handedness.[3]
From around 4, Cecil's sleep was frequently interrupted by vivid and startling dreams. (He would later develop the skill, as an adult, of falling asleep within minutes — by reading more quickly than he could absorb the words' meaning.) Cecil did not believe his vivid imagination was inherited, but he did believe he secured from his parents an invaluable sense of humour. From his mother, he also gained agility of mind; from his father, restlessness of thought. This restlessness often exhausted Cecil, but it induced in him an inquiring mind:
'We did not follow the crowd; we avoided the easiest, accepted thing. We enlarged our world and we acquired, through this restlessness, a wider vision of the precious gift of healthy curiosity.'[4]
Cecil could recall nothing but happy memories from these early years.
The young Cecil was responsible for a howler of his own, which almost made the pages of the Punch magazine. Cecil suffered badly from wind as a child, and he did not fully appreciate the cause. One night, he asked his mother to shut the bedroom window. 'Why?', Mrs Hunt enquired. 'In case I get the wind', Cecil replied in all seriousness.
In his ninth year, the Hunt family moved out to Palmers Green, then on the fringe of London. A healthy, mischievous boy, Cecil was sent to the local elementary school. His was the average experience of a boy full of spirit. He never coveted scholastic honours or envied the top scholastic performers. His interests were outside, on the sports grounds or in the parks.
Life was full, Cecil taking part in almost every outside and inter-school function that he could. Whatever was doing, he was in it. He valued his friendships and regarded the ability to make and maintain friendships invaluable to happiness in adult life as well. As an adult, he quoted the German proverb that 'friendship is a plant we must water often'. The school's head mistress also had a sentiment that appealed to Cecil even at his young age — if it has to be done, it has to be done, so let's get on with it.
Cecil sat for a scholarship for the local secondary school, Southgate County School. To his surprise, and to everyone else's, he passed. Although those school days were happy days for Cecil, he tersely rejected the advice that they are the happiest years of one's life. For Cecil, deeper happiness comes with responsibilities.
Two activities, in particular, occupied many hours of Cecil's boyhood: Scouts and singing in the church choir. But his career as a chorister ended sadly: Cecil's voice never broke. Even as an adult, he could sing treble easily.
The Scouts gave Cecil his first writing opportunity. At around 16, he contributed an essay to a troop magazine called The Coyote. About this time, for two years, Cecil bombarded editors with his writing, without success — except for a submission in September 1920 to the Star about the first international Scout camp. Three days after sending his handwritten note about the camp, the Star published it:
'It would be difficult to recapture the thrill of that moment. It seemed incredible that it could be my item. It was unbelievable even when I saw the paragraph in print.'[5]
During the First World War, as a teenage Scout, Cecil helped at a local hospital. His younger brother died during this period, of an illness unconnected with the war. He completed his scholarship without distinction and his longing to write was undiminished.
His father decided to send Cecil to King's College to study subjects that would help Cecil in his writing. He also sent Cecil to learn shorthand and typewriting. When those classes finished, Cecil faced a hard fact: he had been writing and submitting to newspapers without success. It was time to get a real job.
Eventually, in December 1920, Cecil secured a job as an insurance clerk at the Guardian Assurance Company, at its Fleet Street branch. A budding journalist, the Fleet Street location thrilled Cecil.
He left Guardian Assurance Company after 3 years to pursue a writing career, though the idea of joining the priesthood had earlier also occurred to him. He wished, he said, that he 'could accept the full Catholic faith… but I stumble on what are insuperable obstacles'.[6] On some matters, Cecil was a man ahead of his times; he evidently had more progressive views than the Church at the time on divorce, euthanasia, and sex education in schools.
Without enough writing work to sustain him, Cecil found work again at another insurance company. While there, he noticed a sign nearby announcing a new building to house the publishing firm Benn Brothers Ltd. Through persistence, Cecil secured an interview and at 21, in January 1924, earned a contract with the firm.
(Above: Cecil Hunt in the grip of HC McNeile, who wrote the Bulldog Drummond novels under the pen name 'Sapper')
Benn Brothers specialised in trade journalism and Cecil joined the staff of The Hardware Trade Journal, and then did some work for The Electrician, and occasional reporting for The Cabinet Maker. After some months, he was transferred to The Chemical Age. Early in 1926, he was transferred again to the sub-editorship of The Fruit Grower. In the same year, Cecil married Kathleen, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs WH Dykes. Kathleen would go on to live well beyond 100 years of age, dying in 2011.
While working on The Fruit Grower, Cecil compiled the bestseller, Howlers. For years, he had been collecting schoolboy and schoolgirl howlers as a hobby, and suddenly had the idea of compiling a book of them. As originally conceived, the book would have embodied the howlers into a running narrative. Such an idea would later be made manifest in the classic parody history textbook 1066 And All That.
Cecil's colleagues talked Cecil into presenting the howlers as discrete specimens, divided into categories ('History', 'Geography', etc). Howlers, published by Benn, became a standout success even before its first day, selling 10,000 copies before publication and selling 9,000 copies in the week before Christmas. Many successful sequels followed.
These Howlers books gave Cecil one of his happiest journalistic activities and the happiest aspect of all was the enormous correspondence he received from readers throughout the world, particularly from sick and isolated people who had been helped by the humour in his books. I feel the same way about my own work, including The Funny Dictionary (2018).
Cecil was given the editorship of The Export World, which later merged with The British Trade Journal. After the merge, Cecil was moved over to the book side of the business. The move, Cecil wrote, 'led to many happy days'.[7] His first activities in the book trade were in publicity and then as advertising manager as well.
(Above: Cecil Hunt with one of his collaborators, Heath Robinson)
After 5 years at Benn's, Cecil sensed there would be few more opportunities for professional development at the firm. Audaciously, Cecil approached the Daily Mail and within two months of joining the newspaper's staff became Fiction Editor of Associated Newspapers.
At the Daily Mail, Cecil met many celebrities, including HG Wells in Wells' home. Cecil described Wells as 'most unassuming in presence, gently polite and kind to casual contacts, but a brilliant conversationalist'.[8] Cecil also met Donald Bradman many times.
Cecil worked at the Daily Mail for 8 years. Those 8 years were, in many ways, the happiest of his professional life. He left journalism 'to save my body; it was clear that it needed saving; maybe to save my soul, though I was not as consistently sure of its claim to be saved.'[9]
Cecil had become famous enough that in 1938, he was the face of trading card number 21 in a series of 50 cards for Churchman's cigarettes (the 'In Town Tonight' series) — even though Cecil was a non-smoker.
(Above: Cecil Hunt appeared on a trading card in 1937. The description says: 'Cecil Hunt, Howler King of Highgate. Known as the Howler King of Highgate, Mr Cecil Hunt has for many years made a hobby of collecting original "schoolboy howlers", and has published six or seven volumes of them with great success. He was formerly on the staff of the Daily Mail and Evening News as Literary Editor, but has since gone into the publishing business. People write to him from every corner of the globe contributing "howlers"'. The card then presents three examples.)
After the Daily Mail, Cecil became London Editor of Blackie & Son, Glasgow publishers of educational and children's books, which Cecil helped to transform into general publishers. 'Much happy work was done and some books were published whose creation gave me pleasure',[10] Cecil wrote. He was with the firm for 2 years.
(Above: a pencil sketch of Cecil Hunt by John Fairfax Whiteside)
At the outbreak of World War II, Blackie & Son restricted themselves to educational and children's books. Cecil's job finished almost immediately. Cecil set himself up as a literary agent, the first 2 years of which 'were disastrous',[11] but things improved in the third year and, by the fourth, Cecil was turning a profit.
Cecil was in London all through the blitz. In 1943, at age 40, Cecil's one-man business no longer assured his exemption from service. Despite being selected for a propaganda job, the Ministry of Labour intervened and Cecil was called up for the Army. Then began, in Cecil's words, 'in many ways the unhappiest and certainly the most thwarted and least useful years of my life'.[12] But, determined to portray an otherwise happy career, Cecil preferred to 'leave much unsaid'[13] about this period. During the war, his wife Kathleen kept the literary agency running.
After the war, Cecil continued as a literary agent, continued writing, and lectured on the craft of the writer. In 1948, he conceived the idea of a national summer school for writers, which in 1949 became the Writers Circles' Summer School (1949–51) and then the Writers' Summer School, held at The Haye's House in Swanwick, formerly a prisoner-of-war camp. Cecil became the school's inaugural Chairman. A main purpose of the school was for successful writers to help the less successful.
(Above: Cecil Hunt (middle) and a group of speakers at the first Writers' Summer School in 1949)
After the frustrations of the war, the first Writers' School in 1949 was 'grasped as a new experience, almost as though we had been let out of school',[14] a sentiment that Cecil evidently shared.[15] The School in those early days owed most to Cecil's keeness, dedication, and business ability — even though, by this stage, Cecil had been told by his medical adviser to give up his business and go live in wide open spaces. Still, Cecil enjoyed temporary relief from his medical restraints sufficiently that the night before the first School opened, like a young schoolboy just home for the holidays, Cecil went skipping down the path to the estate's duck pond.
By 1952, Cecil relinquished Chairmanship of the School, evidently for health reasons, despite attempts to persuade him otherwise. Cecil kept away from the school for a year or two, but accepted an invitation to be a lecturer at the 1954 School, his subject being The Short Story. His widow, Kathleen, remembered Cecil was very much looking forward to being a lecturer at the 1954 School.[16] But on 13 July 1954, Cecil suddenly collapsed and died that day, aged 51. His death certificate says he died from a coronary thombosis and coronary atheroma. He was given a post mortem without inquest.
20 years before his death, Cecil wrote that the end of life never worried him.[17] A few years before his death, he wrote he would be content to have a tombstone with the epitaph: 'Here he lies still',[18] no longer restless. His life had been 'full of innumerable, unforgettable events and alive with countless vivid personalities'.[19] He quoted Thomas Carlyle: 'Life is a little gleam of time between two eternities'.[20] Yet how wondrously that gleam can shine.
Hopefully, some of that gleam, and some of Cecil Hunt's zest for life, his hardwired curiosity and unflinching optimism, might live through the influence he has had on me and many others, including through The Funny Dictionary: An A–Z of Kids' Funny Definitions (2018).

U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford is trailing in the Republican congressional primary to an opponent supported in last-minute tweets by President Donald Trump.
As results came in Tuesday, Sanford told a crowd in suburban Charleston: "I've always been a realist and at this point, based on the numbers I see, I'm going to lose this race."
With much of the vote counted, state Rep. Katie Arrington was on the cusp of winning outright. But as Sanford spoke, the race was still too close to call.
Arrington says Sanford criticized Trump too much, calling him a "Never Trumper." One ad said "it's time for Mark Sanford to take a hike — for real this time." The refers to 2009, when Sanford's aides said he was hiking the Appalachian Trail while he actually visited a woman with whom he was having an affair in Argentina.
Sanford has never lost an election in South Carolina, including two terms in the U.S. House after the affair surfaced.June 26.

Rick Nash, fresh off his game clinching shoot-out goal last night, admitted that he studied local Chiller Adult League players and picked up some valuable moves. "I never would have thought that skating off-balanced would be such a great move!" said the Jacket captain. "A lot of local D Leaguers approach me and always want to talk about their game, so one Thursday night I sneaked into a Chiller and watched a few of them. Man, I saw goals scored that I thought weren't even possible."
When asked if there was anyone in particular who "coached" him, Rick would only say that he used a lot of "combined" moves. But I personally studied some of the D League video and believe that this is the guy who Nash copied. You can just tell by the smooth confidence shown by this unnamed player that he has a lot of natural ability, stuff that can't be learned from coaching.

I wanted to do a short distance today in preparation for the 2-mile Jay Race on the 25th, just to get an idea of how long it would take. Since I don't really know how far out to sea a mile is, I chose the "mile buoy" as my goal. No rocket science needed. However I somehow managed to miss this skyscraper of a buoy in the fog. ("In the fog"...that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.)
Mile Buoy RT
EveryTrail - Find the best Hiking in the Bay Area, California
I paddled straight out to sea from the beach, keeping my eyes peeled once I was well past the end of the wharf which is a half-mile long. In the fog it was a bit hard to see, but not that bad I thought. So...the first thing that came into view that looked like a buoy, I paddled for. I didn't know it for sure at the time, but it wasn't it. So having accomplished half my mission of reaching the buoy and feeling pretty sure that I'd paddled at least a mile, I rounded the wrong buoy and headed back. I never did see the "real" mile buoy. (The RT paddle turned out to be 2.3 miles so I accomplished my primary goal.)
In hind sight and after communicating with more experienced paddlers I figure I was too far west. I should have taken a more easterly track at the end of the wharf instead of heading west. Live and learn. Next time I'm on it.

The most recently elected federal Labor senator is an old-style trade union leader who used his factional power to ensure himself a comfortable seat in the upper house.
The woman he replaces accuses him of being deeply homophobic, and disloyal to the ALP after admitting he hadn't always voted for the party in upper house elections.
If that wasn't enough, Joe Bullock is on the record telling others some Labor members were "mad", portraying himself as a bulwark against "every weird leftie trend".
Before April 5, when nearly eight out of 10 voters spurned Labor in the West Australian Senate election re-run, federal leader Bill Shorten was presenting Bullock as the acceptable face of his party.
Now, he's advocating major reforms that include selecting the "best possible candidates" for Senate elections.
Labor has to be a modern, outward-looking, confident and democratic party, says Shorten in a speech on Tuesday.
Bullock's pre-selection was everything but.
Shorten argues he has a member-driven mandate to change the ALP, notwithstanding that 40 per cent of Labor's rank-and-file voted for his leadership rival Anthony Albanese.
He's where he is today because the federal parliamentary caucus, dominated by trade union influence and the factions, thought better than party members.
Yet Shorten wants more people to be part of Labor, setting an ambitious target of 100,000 members - more than double today's number.
He wants to make it easier to join the party, citing his own experience of "jumping through hoops" to become a member at 16.
Every Labor supporter should be able to become a member in minutes, not months, he says.
As well it should be cheaper for young people, those on low incomes, students, apprentices and trainees to be a party member.
And they shouldn't be made to join a trade union.
Once they're in, party members should have a say in who leads the party by weighting the rank-and-file votes in preselection contests.
In Victoria, for example, that will mean a 70:30 split in favour of local members.
In non-Labor held seats - and there will be more than 90 of those at the next federal election - Shorten wants more primary-style community preselections.
Unlike the WA preselection process, where the Right and Left factions decided Bullock's candidacy, members will be given a "meaningful" say in Senate preselections.
Getting a seat at the table of Labor's national conference - supposedly its policy-setting vehicle - should be a mix of people chosen by members and those elected by state conferences.
Shorten insists his plan is not about revolution, it's about evolution.
It is about rebuilding the party, but not with a technical job of updating its rules.
"It is a moral task of renewing our ideas and sense of purpose," he says.
The alternative, Shorten argues, is a party doomed to see its great mission live on only in the archives - and its great successes grow dusty in the trophy cabinet of history.
And in a dose of reality, the Labor leader reminds his colleagues they have to face up to some hard truths.
Tony Abbott did not put the party in opposition, he says.
"The Australian people put us here and unless we change, it is where we will stay," Shorten says.

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is a luxury residential skyscraper in Center City in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 518 feet (158 m), the 48-story skyscraper is the twelfth-tallest building in Philadelphia, and the tallest residential tower in the city. The building was erected on the former site of One Meridian Plaza which was seriously damaged by a deadly fire in 1991. One Meridian Plaza was demolished in 1999 and the property was sold by E/R Partners to the Arden Group the next year. Development of the site by the Arden Group, which owns the adjacent Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, was delayed for years as a result of a feud with rival developer Mariner Commercial Properties. Mariner owned the property 1441 Chestnut Street, which sits south of the Residences at The Ritz-Carlton site and intends to build its own residential tower. The feud began after Arden Group's lead partner Craig Spencer blocked approval of 1441 Chestnut Street because he felt the tower's design would be detrimental to the planned Residences at The Ritz-Carlton tower. This led to several years of dispute between the developers trying to block construction of each other's towers.
After several redesigns, the feud was declared over, and construction on the Residences at The Ritz-Carlton began on May 2, 2006. The blue glass skyscraper opened to residents in January 2009. The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton features 270 condominiums and penthouses, which range in price from US$550,000 to US$14 million. The high-rise also features an underground parking garage, a fitness center, a pool, and a private garden and public plaza called Girard Park.
The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton stands on the former site of the 38-story One Meridian Plaza. In February 1991 One Meridian Plaza was badly damaged by a fire that destroyed eight floors and killed three firefighters. Because of litigation over what to do with the burned skyscraper, it sat vacant for eight years until it was demolished in 1999.[2][3]
In 2000 the Arden Group settled with One Meridian Plaza's owners E/R Partners to pay more than US$13 million for the site. In 1999 Arden sued E/R Partners for backing out of a deal Arden said it had made with the site owners. E/R Partners had wanted to sell the site to Liberty Property Trust for a higher amount.[4][5] Arden had already bought the adjacent Two Mellon Plaza in 1993. Damaged and vacant since the One Meridian Plaza fire, Two Mellon Plaza was converted into a Ritz-Carlton hotel in 2000.[2][6] Also adjacent to the south side of the One Meridian Plaza site is 1441 Chestnut Street. Mariner Commercial Properties bought the property which contained the site of several three-story shops and the eighteen-story Morris Building, all damaged and vacant due to the One Meridian Plaza fire. The buildings were demolished in 2000. The north side of the One Meridian plaza site faces Philadelphia City Hall across the street.[2][7] While the One Meridian Plaza site waited for development Arden converted it into an underground parking garage.[8]
Looking for a new headquarters Comcast asked Arden Group and Mariner Commercial Properties to work together and combine the properties into one building. The two developers briefly held discussions about combining the two sites, but by 2001 no agreement was reached and both developers had decided to move on with their own towers.[2][9] As they sought to build competing condominium towers, the relationship between the two developers soon turned into a feud between the firm's lead partners, Craig Spencer of Arden Group and Tim Mahoney of Mariner Commercial Properties. In 2003 Mahoney received permission from the City Zoning Board of Adjustment to build a 50-story residential tower at the 1441 Chestnut Street site. At the zoning hearing Spencer attempted to block approval by saying the building was too tall and that it would damage his site by blocking views and casting shadows. He also said the tower was "snubbing his nose at the traditional zone of respect around City Hall."[10] Spencer filed a lawsuit to block construction of the building and a Court of Common Pleas ruled that the Zoning Board erred in approving 1441 Chestnut Street.[9] Mariner appealed the ruling.[10]
In 2004 Spencer and Mahoney announced that the feud was over and that plans for their towers would move forward. Spencer announced that Arden would build a 740 feet (230 m), 57-story luxury condominium tower called The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton. The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton would be more than 100 feet (30 m) taller than the skyscraper Spencer criticized as too tall in 2003. Spencer said "To develop a world-class building, you need to get people high up in the air."[10]
However the feud quickly restarted as Mahoney criticized the design of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton's lower floors. The bulky floors were designed to contain a grand ballroom, health club, and 540-car parking garage.[10] Mahoney says the design would unnecessarily lower the values of the condominiums on 21 of the lower floors of his building.[11] Further redesigns to both buildings prevented any condominiums from facing a garage. However the feud continued with lively arguments to block each other plans in courtrooms and Philadelphia city agencies. Chairman of the zoning board, David L. Auspitz, called the feud the "Super Bowl of zoning battles".[12]
In July 2005, Spencer announced a redesign of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton shrinking the building from 57 floors to 44 floors. Among the facilities removed in the redesign were the ballroom and some of the parking. Afraid the high-rise would miss the city's hot condominium market, the redesign sidestepped the legal challenges because it would not need special approval by the Zoning Board to exceed a certain height. Mahoney vowed to continue fighting the building saying "If [Spencer] needs so much as a curb-cut permit, we're going to block it."[9] In March 2009, Mahoney and Spencer reached an agreement that ended all legal challenges between the buildings. Now at 48 stories, The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton was far enough from Mahoney's 1441 Chestnut Street that 1441 Chestnut Street had views of Philadelphia City Hall, while the 58-story 1441 Chestnut Street upper portion was redesigned in a way that allowed views on the south side of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton.[13]
Construction began on May 2, 2006 with a ceremony that featured Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.[14] By September 2006 one-third of the buildings units had been sold.[15] The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton was topped off in July 2008, and the high-rise opened for residents on January 13, 2009.[16][17] The skyscraper was officially dedicated with a ceremony on June 8, 2009.[18]
The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton is a 48-story 518 feet (158 m)-tall residential skyscraper owned by the Arden Group and its partners Gencom Group and Colgate Development. Financed through Lehman Brothers and designed by Handel Architects the rectangular skyscraper is the tenth tallest building in Philadelphia and is the tallest residential tower in the city. The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton has a blue glass curtain wall and the east side of the building is pointed allowing views of Philadelphia City Hall.[19][20] The building features 270 one - three bedroom condominiums and penthouses that range between 890 square feet (83 m2) to 2,045 square feet (190 m2). The condominiums and penthouses range in price from US$550,00 to US$14 million.[17][21]
The building's amenities include hotel services, a fitness club, and a 60 feet (18 m) lap pool. The lobby features a restaurant named 10 Arts owned by chef Eric Ripert, who also owns a condo in the building.[17] Between The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is Girard Park. Girard Park is split into a gated garden for residents and a public space facing the street.[8] A memorial for the three firefighters who died during the One Meridian Plaza fire was unveiled on October 21, 2009. Designed by the Philadelphia Fire Department, the memorial is located by the building's entrance and contains the firefighters' names on plaques.[18][22]
The Philadelphia Inquirer architecture critic Inga Saffron says the glass skyscraper is a "shocking" contrast next to the white marble of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Saffron said she liked the blue glass and that the "angled aluminum cap over the first floor is an especially sleek finish, and ties nicely into the aluminum bands that organize the facade into horizontals and verticals." Her negative opinions of the building included the public space of Girard Park which she describe as a "barren, virtually unusable piece of concrete".[20]

Fallin' down on the job, I am. Caturday is nearly over.
Dude has decided that my purse on the floor is the perfect snoozing spot.
He's been such a snoozy, lovey kitty-boy lately.
There's a cute little calico that has been sitting on our porch lately, calling him. I've tried to explain to her that not only is he unable to fulfill her obvious wishes, she's being rather forward and trampy by parking her cute self on our porch and hollering for him. She doesn't really listen to me, though. Little skank.

If anyone wants to give me a house...
...that'd be ace.
I will be homeless from the middle of June. I'm a nice person. If you had room for my current housemate and were within an easy commute of Old Street and Whitechapel that'd be even better.
i found
a website with properties that arent owned by anyone and you can try to claim them. i think it was bulllshit tho. and i lost the link. abandon thread
yeah i realised
half way thru it was a pointless comment. but i thought it may jog someones memory so i could find that webpage again
That'd be ace.
Things like abandoned buildings excite me. Especially if they're covered in ivy and have massive warehouse-ness or spooky church-ness or characterful victorian-ness or... yeh.
My floor keeps vibrating. What with the puddles in the ceiling, this cannot be a good thing.

Place the mushrooms, scallions, and red bell
pepper in the bowl of a food processor and
process until the vegetables are finely chopped.
Place the vegetables, ground turkey, teriyaki sauce,
and black pepper in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly.
Shape the mixture into six 4-inch patties.
Grill the burgers over medium coals or cook under a broiler
for about 6 minutes on each side, until the internal
temperature of the patties reaches 165 degrees and the meat
is no longer pink inside. (To retain moisture, avoid pressing
down on the patties as they cook.) Alternatively, coat a large
nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and
cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side.
If desired, brush the pineapple slices with a little
teriyaki sauce and grill or broil for a minute or two
on each side, until lightly browned.
To assemble the burgers, place the mayonnaise and
mustard in a small bowl and stir to mix well.
Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on each bun.
Place each burger in a bun and top with some of the onion,
lettuce, and if desired, a pineapple slice. Serve hot.
