The housing that is built must be designed for life and designed to last. It is proposed that German-style 'house factories' should be built and that the new generation of houses should be manufactured there. Modern technology means that extremely high performance houses can be built for very modest costs. In fact, passive houses (houses which are so efficient they either don't need to be heated at all or actually generate more energy than they use) can now be produced inexpensively. The regulations for all housing in Scotland should be tightened—our housing is simply unacceptably far behind the standard of performance of modern European housing.
And it's too small. Just as important as the quality of the design and build of the house is the quality of the overall development. The commercial housing sector is designed to maximise profit, and since 'detached villas' are most marketable, the maximum number of houses that meet this description are crammed into the smallest possible area. This is one of the reasons that Britain has one of Europe's smallest average house sizes. In fact, people are every bit as happy living in well-designed higher density housing – some of Scotland's more desirable housing is in large tenements or in spacious terraces. And some of the world's most desirable housing is in tower blocks. People are social and the idea that in all circumstances we want to live in boxes separated from each other is incorrect. Well-designed terraced, tenement, and high-rise developments (as well as some other forms of high-density housing) mean that the living space in houses can be much bigger. People have always liked living in these ways and better communities are formed from well-designed housing.
Properly designed developments also mean there is room for life: parks, open spaces, shops, and cafes. Most modern developments lack all of these things; they have pavements but nowhere to go on them. This means that social interaction is discouraged (shopping, getting to work, going to school—all these things are done in cars). The irony is that all of these 'detached villas' leave you with less space but more isolation. Planning and design should be driven not by how much profit can be made but by the quality of life that can be lived in a house, the strength of community that can be achieved in a development, the beauty of what is built and the positive impact it will have on society and the environment. The 'market' will not do this on its own since positive social impact, strong community, and beauty don't generate profit. There must be much more substantial regulation and intervention in how housing is designed and developed.
But this should certainly not mean tick-box planning. The great cities in the world and the really attractive places to live were the result of design. In both architecture and planning there is excellent knowledge about how design makes developments both beautiful and practical. Our skylines, our communities, our high streets, our city centres—these places are not 'free markets' but part of the commons. We should exert much more collective and mutual influence over how these developments take place so they don't become sprawl or chaotic or repetitive or unbalanced—or plain ugly. And the proper infrastructure of community life—halls, parks, cafes, shops, schools, nurseries, places to work—would become a central feature of developments.

|The Oglebay Norton was here yesterday for the 46th time this season, loading coal as it has done on most every trip. This is the season when Great Lakes boats begin to look like ice bergs. The Oglebay Norton's bow is encased in ice, and more ice will follow as the season continues into January. It is a losing battle to try to clear it since the boat spends much of its time in the icy waters of Lake Superior. This is the unavoidable result when the boat is sailing into the wind on Lake Superior. But work goes on. At left, you can see the Midwest Energy Resources ship loader getting ready to pour coal into the boat's cargo holds. For that reason, the boat's self unloader, center, has been raised up to make way for the ship loader.

Floris about this shoe:"The punching knives we use for this brogue are the same we use for the classic van Bommel "full brogue". Unchanged in its form, the classic brogue has been an integral part of our collection since the 1970s. If my grandfather were still alive, he'd probably choke on his soup if he saw this modern version of his good old brogue. I can imagine that he'd think that the outsole underneath this shoe was only a protective packaging wrapping the actual sole: "Well done, boys! You are handling these shoes with care." But no, this is the future! We got driverless cars, the internet, cloned sheep and… these brogue shoes."

This is a review of a monthly cosmetic subscription box from Julep. For $19.99 I received three nail polishes from the Going Baroque collection, the Starlit Soiree set of two nail polishes, a Charcoal Konjac Sponge (not pictured) and to my surprise I received a free mystery nail polish. That works out to only $2.71 per item! Bargain! They gave out a free nail polish to subscribers for the month of December, what a lovely and generous surprise. It also came with a coupon for an additional free nail polish of our choice (code below). My December box started out with three nail polishes from the Classic with a Twist Collection and some snowflake nail stickers. I swapped out some of the colors they chose for me and swapped out the nail stickers for the Charcoal Konjac Sponge. Then I used 1000 Jules (reward points) to add on the Starlit Soiree set of two nail polishes. So I started out with three nail polishes and landed up with six for the same price! The total retail value for my box is $96! Excitement! Here's a detailed list of what I received in my December box:
- Kalli, Bombshell Collection, Gold Dust Metallic with Holographic Shimmer, $14 retail value, $11 for Mavens (subscribers)
- Lonnelle, Boho Glam, Sahara Gold Multidimensional Holographic, $14 retail value
- Leia, Boho Glam, Pine Green Holographic, $14 retail value
- Persephone, Bombshell Collection, Crushed Berry Holographic, $14 retail value
- Marguerite, Classic with a Twist, Gold Dipped Raspberry Metallic, $14 retail value
- Kemper, Boho Glam, Psychedelic Violet Crème, $14 retail value
- Charcoal Konjac Sponge, $12 retail value
I could have also swapped out some nail polish for some Matte Lip Mousse, but I absolutely love holographic nail polish, so I chose them. If you don't like making decisions or you want a surprise in the mail, you can just stick with what Julep choses for you based on your answers on the beauty questionnaire.
The above photo was taken on a cloudy day in indoor light. The holographic glitter shows up so much better in sunlight. The glitter in the nail polish lights up like a Christmas tree! It has a similar look to holographic Christmas wrapping paper. I used two coats of all of the nail polish except Kemper in which I used three. Kemper shows up a bit darker and less bright when painted. All of the nail polishes had a good consistency except Kemper which was a bit too thin. Check out my swatches:
Kalli is an extremely reflective true gold that appears textured yet it smooth as glass with holographic pieces of glitter. Lonnelle is a coppery gold that also appears textured yet smooth as glass with holographic pieces of glitter. Leia I have on my nails now, so stay tuned for my manicure featuring it tomorrow. I chose to wear it first since it's the most Christmasy look. It's a dark green with holographic pieces of glitter that are highly reflective. Persephone is similar to Leia's appearance, but in a berry color. Marguerite has a unique look since at first it appears to be a pretty dirty pink, but it really lights up with movement when it reflects gold. I'd say that's my 2nd favorite followed by Kalli. Kemper's first coat went on like a jelly, the second coat looked a bit patchy, so I added a third coat and it appears a bit darker than in the bottle. In the bottle it's much brighter. I used a base coat of Perfect Formula's Manicure Booster and a top coat of Seche Vite. So which of the six nail polishes is your favorite?
If you haven't entered the world of Julep, be sure to sign up now since they have the most amazing offer I've seen over the many years I've been a subscriber. They are offering a twelve piece collection for free just for signing up and becoming a member! To skip shipments, go to their website on the 20th and chose skip or customize your box to suit your preferences. They also offer a Secret Store shortly thereafter for those that chose to purchase their box that month. The discounts are wonderful, but they also offer discounted add-ons for each monthly box, so be sure to check those out. I highly recommend Julep products and their subscription box. Out of all the subscription boxes I've subscribed to over the years, I've subscribed to Julep the longest.

Summary of Manager's Guide to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Pages: 256
Looking for the book?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
9 Overall
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is one of the most complex, costly pieces of legislation to emerge from Congress in the past two decades. Author Scott Green considers the legislation itself to be a risk - not merely to managers who might find themselves disgraced or imprisoned for mere mistakes and oversights, but also to the productive forces of American capitalism. His book outlines a process for identifying and managing the kind of risk that might result in violations of Sarbanes-Oxley. His approach is blessedly free from jargon and almost intuitively obvious. Other things about this book make it appealing to a reader who has waded through other analyses of Sarbanes-Oxley and who is concerned about full compliance. First, without oversimplifying, Green presents his prescription in simple, straightforward terms. Second, he does not make an overt sales pitch for his firm's consulting services. Third, he has apparently not service-marked his favorite terminology, such as "Smart Links." This restraint confirms that he actually has something to say to you, and is not merely trying to drum up business. What he has to say is not stunning or new, nor is it presented in sparkling prose, but getAbstract finds it reasonably useful and well worth a manager's time to read.
In this summary, you will learn
- How the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) affects your business;
- Why compliance is a critical corporate risk management issue; and
- What procedures you can use to implement corporate financial controls consistent with SOA requirements.
About the Author
Scott Green, CPA, is the global head of Audit and Compliance for Weil, Gotshal & Manges, one of the world's largest law firms and a leader in the practice of corporate governance. He has also taught finance and banking at Hofstra University.

Summer housing is available to current residents who are enrolled in summer classes when there is sufficient demand to merit opening housing, and appropriate space is available. Summer housing is not available for new students who begin with a summer term. Summer session registration is required before housing will be approved. First year summer residents will be required to live in a double occupancy room, when available. Meal plans may be required during summer residency. Students approved for summer housing are required to vacate their spring term room on the semester closing date and return to housing at the opening of the summer session (approximately 10-14 days).
Upper-level students continuing as apartment residents (those residing in an SXU apartment during the previous spring term), regardless of summer enrollment, or for new apartment residents, who are current SXU residents and will begin housing in the summer and continue placement in the fall semester as an enrolled student, may request summer housing without summer course enrollment. Fall registration is required at time of contract.
All housing policies and the Code of Student Conduct apply.
Rates are determined on a weekly basis, and billing starts at the beginning of the term to the student's account.

There is a tree in a forest of trees, not far from where you are. I would like to say that it was a special tree, but it is only special in the way that all trees are special, until one spring day. On a branch about halfway up the tree, a small bud formed, and over the next few days developed into a leaf. Nothing special about that, or was there? This leaf was different; it was a leaf with a mission.
The leaf grew stronger, a glossy rich green, it faced upward toward the sun, absorbing the life giving rays. By day it photosynthesized, utilizing the sun's rays to feed the sap that flowed through its host, and by night, absorbed the carbon dioxide and pollution from the atmosphere, to produce the essential oxygen for other life forms. You may be wondering why this particular leaf was special. It was indistinguishable from all the others and from a distance, merged into all the rest of the vegetation. But just sometimes, even the most insignificant of life forms can add something special in our lives.
Unnoticed by those who came to visit the forest, pause beneath the tree to sit awhile and enjoy the shade, to perhaps feel the vibrant life force emanating from its sturdy trunk, the leaf is fulfilling just one of the prescribed functions of its existence. It's time has not yet come.
Days turned into weeks, then into months and the season began to change. Cool winds started to blow and slowly, within the mighty tree the flow of sap slowed as it prepared for the onslaught of winter. The leaf, deprived of the vital life flow began to wither, its glossy green turning to gold and its hold on the branch began to weaken. All around, the other leaves were falling to the ground, blown on the winds until they drifted into the river, and were carried away by the current. One of the last, our leaf fell as well, and like the others was carried on the wind to the river, but this was a leaf with a mission. Ignoring all the other leaves as they floated listlessly downstream with the flow, our leaf set off upstream. It was on a quest, a search for truth and the source of life, for they are as one.
Time seemed to have no meaning as it floated against the current, the banks of the stream drew closer together and the current stronger, but the will to carry on was stronger. Eventually, withered and torn by the rigors of the journey and the ravages of time, it came to a place where the water rose, gurgling softly up from within the cool brown earth. It was fresh and fragrant; it was from the earth itself. The mission was complete; this was the Holy Grail of eternal life, the truth was there for all to see, as it always has been. The Earth opened her arms and welcomed the leaf to her bosom, as a mother would a lost child. The leaf had come home to the source of life, returned to become part of the on-going cycle, the perpetual recreation of life on Earth.

booKrushed Launch~Superbowl~AND a brief hiatus!
9 comments:
oooooh stop with the food temptations!!! it all sounds yummy!!ReplyDelete
i think we're going to a friend's house to watch it, but I plan on being good where the food is concerned because i have a sweet tooth!
:( but i do so want a brownie. . .
GO Packers!!! (Really a Bears fan, but we don't want to have lost to losers!) :) See you in two weeks!!ReplyDelete
Good luck with your editing and...GO STEELERS!ReplyDelete
Good luck...ReplyDelete
Sounds like you're on the home stretch.ReplyDelete
Happy Launch Day!!ReplyDelete
Ah, the Colts weren't in it this year, so we didn't have any interest really. Even when the Colts are in it, I just wear a Colts shirt and hole up in my writing cave. Ha! Although the few parties I've been too for the Superbowl are fun. always nice to get together--and the food!!ReplyDelete
Congrats on the launch of the new blog!
I wasn't too interested in either team (sorry, Packers or Steelers fans) so for me it was all about the food. (within reason of course because I don't want to undo any p90x work) LOLReplyDelete
Super congratulations on finishing edits!ReplyDelete
And your team won.

Conservative Commentary
"the blogger whose youthful effusions have won him bookmarks all over Whitehall ... horribly compelling" - The Guardian

Out of his depth in more ways than one
Stephen Pollard is now calling for Ken Livingstone to be drummed out of office. Following up on his ostentatious welcome to the Islamofascist cleric Qaradawi (and his claim that the criticism he received when he did proved the need to ban incitement to religious hatred), Livingstone told a Jewish reporter on the Evening Standard he was like a concentration camp guard for working for the newspaper group he does.
I wholly agree with Pollard, and it frustrates me that at a time when the Conservatives make up the largest party in the London Assembly and come first in the European Elections, we have been unable to stand a Mayoral candidate of the calibre of MEPs like Dr Charles Tannock and AMs like Angie Bray, ensuring Labour can hold on here.
Livingstone's obnoxious views are one thing, but his utter lack of responsibility in what verges on an international role show a man so influenced even in his advanced years by his adolescent Marxism that he simply cannot conduct himself in a professional role and show some responsibility.
Perhaps the most personally revealing thing Red Ken has said lately was his response to demands that he apologise to the journalist he slandered.
You can't expect to work for the Daily Mail group and have the rest of society treat you with respect and as if you're a useful part of society.
Now obviously the Daily Mail inspires a great deal of (mostly absurd) dislike. And that's fair enough. Certainly you wouldn't have to search this site long to find me criticising strongly the Guardian or BBC (on which Pollard also has a good post). But the notion that this sort of political disagreement takes away the requirements of personal decency and humanity maybe be the hallmark of a small, pitiable person. It's pathetic to think writing for a newspaper whose editorial line you can't abide somehow makes someone less of a human being. As John Hawkins said, when some were expressing pleasure at Strom Thurmond's death:
Life is bigger than politics folks. If you're so consumed with hatred for people you dislike politically that you can't even show respect for the dead, then maybe you should step back and try to get some perspective on what type of person you've become.
If you've reached that stage, Ken Livingstone is the sort of person you've become. There are plenty of these sorts around in British politics. But it's beneath London to have one of them as her Mayor.

Make a Bird Feeder in Minutes
If you want more desirable birds in your yard, the first thing you need to do is attract them. There are various feeders you can buy for different kinds of birds, but the cost can add up, which isn't ideal for novice backyard bird watchers.
Consider making your own feeder instead! These DIY bird feeder projects are a fun way to liven up your yard for much less than you'd spend buying a quality feeder in the store.Continue to 2 of 11 below.
02 of 11
Attract Unusual Birds Using Half an Orange
This three-ingredient bird feeder adds both design and function to your yard. For added interest, take the other halve of the orange and hang slices at varying levels, which will attract more orioles and mockingbirds. Just be sure to pick up and discard anything that hasn't been eaten after a week or two.
You'll Need:
Continue to 3 of 11 below.
- Half an orange
- Macrame
- Birdseed

Turn Birdseeds Into an Ornament Feeder
The great thing about this project is that the ornaments make inexpensive decorations and gifts. This is also a fun DIY to tackle with children. Get creative and try making different shapes and sizes. You can also use a similar technique to cover a pinecone.
You'll Need:
Continue to 4 of 11 below.
- Water
- Flour
- Corn syrup
- Gelatin
- Birdseed
- Twine or rope

Repurpose an Empty Wine Bottle
This DIY bird feeder is a little more involved, but it is also much longer lasting than the first two projects. Just beware of placement. Depending on where you put the feeder and your neighborhood, you might attract some unwanted creatures like squirrels or rats.
You'll Need:
- Wine bottle
- Pine
- Poplar Hobby Board
- Wood Glue
- Birdseed
- Miscellaneous Tools

Make Suet Cakes for Winter Song Birds
Suet is another term for rendered fat, and it's vital to help birds survive a long winter. This style of feeder attracts clingers like woodpeckers, but most any bird that's hungry enough and hasn't migrated will be attracted to this ornamental feeder come wintertime.
You'll Need:

Create a Birdseed Tower Using Mesh Hardware Cloth
This project turns out much like a typical tower feeder you would buy in the store but for a fraction of the cost. If you have a rodent problem, this bird feeder can help because the mesh cloth prevents a lot of unnecessary seed waste on the ground.

Group principals said Friday previous powerbroker Bernie Ecclestone still had a part to play in Formula One after the prominent takeover of the game by Liberty Media.
Ecclestone's opportunity as the brilliant ringmaster of Formula One was viably completed in January when US-based Liberty Media finished its takeover of motorsport's most prestigious brand in an arrangement esteemed at about $8 billion.
There have been dissensions that under the 86-year-old Ecclestone, Formula One has neglected to move with the circumstances, and the new possession saw him shunted into a counseling part as "director emeritus".
However, group principals in Melbourne Friday for the Australian Grand Prix, which commences the new Formula One season on Sunday, said regardless he had a place in impressive worldwide game.
"What Bernie's accomplished for Formula One has been astounding," Red Bull boss Christian Horner told a question and answer session. "The game is the thing that it is today in view of what he made. I think in the part that he has, he's as yet going to be in a position to contribute.
"Despite everything he has an immense measure of chronicled learning, regard and connections around the globe and I surmise that tackled and utilized as a part of the correct way is an advantage for Formula One," he stated, including he trusted the new proprietors can utilize Ecclestone "helpfully".
Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene said F1's quality was down to the work of Ecclestone. "I believe that Bernie merits all our regard in light of the fact that on the off chance that we are here and if the game develops it is on account of him," Arrivabene told columnists.
"I feel that the new gathering that is owning Formula One is here to make this game develop significantly more so there is no future without the great verifiable base."
As a feature of the new F1 administration structure, new director and CEO Chase Carey will have previous Mercedes F1 group supervisor Ross Brawn and Sean Bratches, once a business official with North American games TV slot ESPN, running the donning and business arms of F1 individually under him.

There are multiple benefits of installing a water tank on your commercial premises. The structure will help you harvest rainwater, reducing your demand for public water supply. As a result, you can minimise your long-term water expenses in your operation. Also, the use of tanks promotes sustainability and reduces runoff in the property. If you decide to invest in a water tank, you must evaluate your installation options before commissioning the project. Here are some critical considerations to help you choose between the two primary options: below-ground and above-ground installations.
Availability of Space
You should evaluate the amount of space available in your commercial property when deciding between below-ground and above-ground tank installation. In general, the latter option is more favourable than the alternative because the process is inexpensive. Therefore, if you have some free space on your property, this is the ideal choice. On the other hand, if you have limited space for your commercial use, you should choose below-ground tanks. After all, purchasing additional land for a water tank is not economically feasible, and acquisition might be difficult in populated areas. You can install the tank below your driveway, parking area or other structures.
Climatic Conditions
You should consider the local climate before making your decision on tank installation. If you reside in an area with harsh weather conditions which could cause damage to the structure, then below-ground setup is the ideal choice. In simple terms, an above-ground tank will continuously be exposed to heavy rains, ultraviolet radiation and extreme temperatures which could accelerate tank damage. If the tank is beneath the ground, it will be shielded from these adversities. However, you should remember that this structure will be affected by the pressure exerted after being buried. Therefore, an underground tank must have a rigid construction and high strength for optimal performance.
Maintenance and Repair
Commercial tanks will require periodic maintenance to ensure that the structure performs as expected. Negligence will lead to accelerated degradation of the water. Also, the container can sustain damage, whether it is installed below or above the ground. Immediate repairs will be necessary. Above-ground tanks are more accessible than alternatives, so the process of servicing is straightforward. On the other hand, a buried tank can be difficult to access, so a high level of expertise will be required.
Finally, you should evaluate your budget for the installation process. Below-ground tanks will demand excavation of the ground and probably a pump. Therefore, the total project costs will be higher than the above-ground choice.Share

One thing that always seems to be hotly debated is the choice of loadout in Team Fortress 2's Mann vs Machine mode. I really enjoy jumping into MVM, and thought it'd be good to discuss what weapons I use and why.
As in most (well, all :) ) TF2 game modes, Scout is my favourite class to run and I tend to go for a combo money collection / harrassment hybrid style of play. To facilitate this, I mostly stick with the regular Scattergun simply for the reliability. It's strong, got a good clip size and can be upgraded without much investment to present a surprisingly lethal weapon. On occasions I might switch out to the Force-A-Nature – usually if we're on a map like Coal Town and there's no Pyro, so I can knock the bomb carrier down the hole to reset it if need be. Generally, though, I prefer the reliability of the Scattergun to get the job done. Since the latest update, I reckon Baby Face's Blaster could be a good alternative, but I haven't used it enough in MVM to really comment yet.
There's really only one option for my secondary, and that's my beloved Mad Milk. I know I mention this a lot and, to be honest, I'm taking a break from it in regular multiplayer right now in favour of the Crit-A-Cola (so much fun! :D ), but in MVM the Mad Milk is just so helpful. Apart from the healing, I think it is imperative to upgrade it to slow down robots – this is actually the first upgrade I'll purchase whenever I join an MVM server. MVM is even more team-oriented than usual, and this upgrade just makes the milk so useful in so many situations. It's great for slowing down scoutbots (especially Major League ones), for coating giant bots so your Heavy / Soldier / etc can take them on without any worries, and for hitting Sentry Busters with so it can be taken down before it reaches the Engineer's sentry. For me, at least, the other secondaries just don't match up – there's no point in the Crit-A-Cola when you've got canteens, the Bonk! is a bit useless given the cash overheal you'll inevitably have, and the pistols just don't match the Scattergun for damage especially as you can upgrade your reload speed.
Finally, when it comes down to the melee I like both the Fan O War and the Sandman. The Sandman's -15 health attribute doesn't really matter too much given the crazy-high overheal you'll inevitably pick up, and the ability to stun and mark bots for death at the same time is pretty nice. However, I actually prefer the Fan O War – simply because it matches the up-close playstyle I have. The Sandman requires you to have a fair distance in between yourself and the target bot for the stun effect to have any use, while the Fan O War only requires that you're up close – which I generally am, what with the short-range primary and the running around collecting cash. Just like the Mad Milk, this weapon helps out your team, and is especially good against giant robots.
As mentioned, I combo money collection with harrassment. Primarily I'll focus on the money, upgrading my movement speed to dask around and collect every last dollar, but I also find Scout's high speed and damage makes him perfect to chase down any Scoutbots who break through and generally harrass the 'bots. It's best to stick near the rest of the team since that's where the majoity of credits will be dropping, and it's also where the Mad Milk and Fan 'o' War will be the most helpful. Of course, the Scattergun can be upgraded to be pretty lethal and, since the money overheal will help keep you safe, I quite like going for the upgrades and eventually one-shotting anything bar a Heavybot or giant robot :)
Unfortunately I simply haven't had the time to make an MVM video – they're so much longer to record and upload – but I will try and get one done in the new year. For now, if you haven't watched my previous TF2 videos you can see them all here:
I was going to include my soldier loadout in this post as well, but as the discussion on Scout's ended up being longer than I expected I thought I'd leave it for now, as no doubt I'll be doing a post on Soldier soon! Leave a comment letting me know what you like to use in MVM, and hope to see you next time :)
Take care,

Specimen 13 is the final non-boss specimen the player encounters in Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion. She first appears in Room 910.
Specimen 13 resembles a young woman with shaggy, grey-blue hair. Before the chase, she is seen sitting on a floating crate, with her back to the player, wearing a towel around her waist. She reveals her true form during her death screen, where she morphs into a black-eyed old woman with long sharp teeth.
Specimen 13 lurks within the flooded rooms. She quietly sits on top of a floating crate. When the player gets too close, she will dive into the water and the chase will begin.
Specimen 13 will only move when the player is standing in water. The Specimen itself isn't visible and can only be detected through the loud splashes she makes when moving. When the player stands on a crate, she won't move and will be unable to harm them. When the player goes back into the water, she will resume chase, although she will do so farther away than her last splash, preventing her from dealing unavoidable damage if she stopped moving too close to the player. The farther away the player gets, the faster Specimen 13 will go. Specimen 13 will not pause between attacks, leaving very little room for error. One must be wary, though, as she does not always spawn at the door in larger rooms.
Specimen 13 deals approximately 1/6 damage with a cooldown of 0.40 Seconds
"Something In The Water", Specimen 13's chase theme.
- Specimen 13 behaves very similar to Kaernk from the horror game Amnesia The Dark Descent.
- Specimen 13's CAT-DOS entry, when accessed, may randomly show her face obscured by her hair or her true face.
- Specimen 13 can only be encountered once, along with Specimen 7.
- Specimen 13 cannot reach the player while they are on top of one of the crates, despite the fact that she can be seen sitting on top of a crate before the chase.
- Specimen 13, along with Specimen 7, are the only two specimens from the original game not found in Endless Mode.
- Specimen 13 also may represent A Siren
Specimen 13`s towel was replaced by what appears to be a fish`s tail, and she now has a full 3D model. She is wearing nothing on her top half. She now has a diving animation for when dives into the water when the player gets close, but is still invisible when chasing the player.
The attacks deal higher damage, but now there is a pause between each hit. She also appears to move slightly slower.
She can also appear in Endless Mode now, but will not re-chase, like Specimen 7.

(April 26 , 2012) Nantucket history is everywhere downtown - the Atheneum, the homes of whaling captains, the monuments - but sometimes, it�s also underfoot.
A sinkhole opened up on Main Street last Friday afternoon, disabling a Ford F-150, swallowing a park bench, and exposing an historic cistern.

Wine it up this Pesach
Drinking Israeli wine is a sure way to bring the 'Promised Land' to your celebrations, but what to drink? asks Ken Stephens. Growing up and working at the Golan Heights Winery has made Tali Sendovski and Yael Gai experts. Here are their memories and recommendations...
Tali Sendovski, Winemaker at Golan Heights Winery
"I was born and raised in Moshav Nahalal in a big family. Pesach was always a fun holiday for me because our entire family sat together and we always had good food, good wines and a lot of singing.
One year, just before Pesach, I rescued our house from a fire. I was about 12 and alone at home when I smelled something strange. I went into the kitchen and saw fire coming out of the refrigerator.

I turned off all the electricity and started to throw buckets of water to put out the fire.
The kitchen was black and the refrigerator and the food in it was all ruined, but we still managed to have a happy Pesach."
Yael Gai, International Sales & Marketing Manager, Golan Heights Winery
"When I was around 10, we spent Pesach with my grandparents in Bnei Brak. When it came to the afikoman, my siblings and I were asked what we wanted to receive in exchange for its return.
My siblings, all younger than me, asked for presents as kids do, but when it came to me, I announced I had a special gift in mind. I wanted my beloved grandfather to quit smoking. Without that promise, I would not return the afikoman (which was still hidden and only I knew where it was!).
My grandfather said he could only promise to smoke less, but I stood strong, even though the table was in uproar. I kept the afikoman and went to sleep with it, only to be woken by my grandfather who wanted a compromise: to cut back on smoking and take me on a day trip.
That was the longest seder we ever experienced as kids (thanks to me) and the one I remember the most vividly, thanks to the special request I made for the sake of having a healthy grandfather.
We enjoyed his company for three more years before he passed away. To this day, when we reach the afikoman part of the seder, the whole family still remembers this story and I wish everyone a healthy and happy Passover!"
1st Cup
Kiddush: Hermon Indigo
This light red wine will bring spring to your table and put everyone in a mood for celebration.
The Syrah grapes in Hermon Indigo wine create extremely harmonious fruit flavours that make this wine very 'friendly' and enjoyable, with a unique deep purple colour.
2nd Cup
Maggid: Galil Mountain Avivim Upper Galilee
Full of life, with an impressive richness of flavour, you can almost taste the rolling green hills of Galil, where the grapes were grown.
An exquisite blend of Chardonnay and Viognier grapes' varieties, Galil Avivim will pleasantly surprise your palate with its flavours of peach, green apple, pear, tropical fruit and vanilla.
3rd Cup
Korech: Gamla Cabernet Merlot
The Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot is always a crowd-pleaser.
It combines two of the most popular varieties of grape and is aged for a year in oak barrels to add complexity and flavour.
This wine will enhance your most gastronomic Pesach dishes.
A terrific wine for a bountiful seder meal, whether one is feasting on lamb or beef.
4th Cup
Hallel: Yarden T2
A perfect wine to wrap up the long evening, Yarden T2 is produced from two varieties of Portuguese grapes – Touriga Nacional and Tinta.
This Porto-style rich wine was fortified with brandy to stop its fermentation and increase its alcohol content while preserving the grapes' natural sweetness.
With the aromatic blend of ripe cherries and plums in the scent, this is a sweet and sophisticated wine that isn't heavy on the palate.

How many times have you found yourself obsessing over some decision you made which didn't work out as you had hoped? I'll bet lots of times. We tend to revisit our bad decisions and drive ourselves nuts with our self-directed anger. Mentally we beat ourselves up with "I should have…" thoughts. This is not healthy because there is no way of unloading this type of self-directed hostility. Such emotions leave us feeling depressed.
What's past is past. It doesn't accomplish anything to obsess about something you did in the past because you cannot change the past. You have to deal with the situation you have today – right now. That way you change the future with what you do today.
Failure is only feedback. It tells you that the action you took or decision you made did not work out well. Therefore, try something else. We are only human. We can only do the best we can with the knowledge we have at the moment of the decision-making. To avoid this self-hate, you must build in an attitude that regards failure as just feedback. That way, any failure is only temporary. Obsessing over it makes something so horrendous that you cannot recover from it nor get past it.
There is an often told story about Thomas Edison whose friends chided him when his 200th attempt at making the incandescent light bulb failed.
Friends: My God. Tom, you've failed again. What is this, your 200th
experiment? Give it up, man.
Thomas: I haven't failed 200 times. I've found 200 ways my idea won't work.
Superior problem-solving is one of the measures of an effective human being. You must be able to gather and analyze facts and then reason things out systematically. Then you have to select a strategy that does not complicate things by creating more problems than it solves. If you do this, you can expect your decisions to produce good results.
Decision-making is the process of problem-solving through making a conscious choice or selection of one alternative from a group of two or more alternatives to achieve an objective. The key here is: your decision's purpose is to achieve an objective.
Decision-making can cause a good deal of anxiety in circumstances where:
●the actual problem situation is ambiguous;
●circumstances are vague;
●available information is unclear;
●the ramifications of the decision are obscure;
●the problem situation is new and there is no strategy for dealing with it;
●there is no historical data on which you can base your thinking;
●you have to put your trust on the information and expertise of others;
●you may not see the outcome or results of your decision for a long time;
●the consequences resulting from your decision will be far-reaching.
What follows is information about a simple and very basic method for decision-making which will work well in most situations. If you employ this method, it will severely reduce any hostile revisiting of old decisions.
The Basic Model for Decision-Making
This model for anger-free decision-making has ten steps:
1. recognize that a problem exists;
2.set a solution objective;
3..analyze the situation;
4. identify uncertainties;
5. determine "workable" solutions;
6.gather data, information and seek expert help if necessary;
7. select the best alternative;
8. develop a plan for implementation and action
9. implement the plan
10. follow-up: examine how the decision worked out; evaluate its effectiveness in solving 1he problem.
A diagrammatic illustration of this process follows. The process is represented in a circle to stress two critical issues:
●All good decision-making begins with a clearly stated solution objective. This way, the direction of your efforts is explicitly stated. You know where you are going. You have an answer to the question, "What are you trying to accomplish anyway?"
●Decision making is a skill that can be learned, and like any skill, you need to have a logical, repeatable process into which you can incorporate what you have learned from previous situations. That way, the more decision-making you do, the better you will become at it. Moreover, the fewer opportunities you will have for beating yourself up over poorly made decisions.
Suppose your decision does not achieve its solution objective. The first thing you want to look at is your analysis of the situation; perhaps it was not complete and accurate. It if was not, maybe that is where you went off the track. The next item you want to look at is the alternatives you generated. Perhaps you did not generate enough choices. Thirdly you want to examine your selection of "workable solutions"; perhaps you missed something important there. Maybe you neglected to obtain necessary information that was easily available from sources other than yourself. In other words, you go around the circle, examining each of the ten steps to see where you went off track. The circle gives you an effective, logical method for evaluating your decision process. This allows you to set things up for going around the circle a second time – repeating the ten steps – and this time, achieving your solution objective.
To know how good your decision has been requires measuring it against your objective. If your decision did not achieve your objective, do not obsess about it. Just go around the circle again. Here is a true story of a friend who went off track by starting her decision cycle with a poor solution objective.
Nancy Waldorf was a good looking forty-something woman who feared getting old looking. She decided to have some cosmetic work done so she saved up her money and then went looking for a plastic surgeon. She wanted to locate a doctor who would charge her an amount of money that was within her saved and budgeted funds. Unfortunately she had not saved enough to hire a top plastic surgeon. She went with a newly minted inexperienced cosmetic specialist. The result was that although her turkey neck was gone, one ear was now two inches higher than the other. Every time she looked into the mirror, she was filled with anger at herself and loathing at her bargain doctor. Now Nancy had to locate a specialist in plastic surgery who could correct her bargain doctor's work.
Illustrated below are Nancy's two trips around the decision cycle.
|Decision Steps
|First time around the circle
|Second time around the circle
|doctor who charged what she had budgeted
|best available specialist experienced in correcting poorly done surgery
|None considered
|Even the best specialist might not be able to correct the problem
|Wait until she had more saved
|Live with the problem
|Workable solutions
|Keep looking for a doctor who would charge what she had saved
|Arrange some monthly payment plan
|Gather Information
|Yellow pages, "plastic surgeons; calling each and asking "What do you charge for….."
|interviewed other plastic surgeons and their patients to locate the best person for the task
|Best Alternative
|Hire the cheapest doctor
|Hire the doctor considered the best plastic surgeon by his peers
|Plan of action
|To make a surgery appointment as soon as possible
|In depth conversation with her chosen doctor about expectations and risks
|Just do it and get it over with
|Surgery was planned after several preparation visits
|Poor outcome
|Successful result
Here is an example of someone who made such a morass over a so called poor decision that his entire life came to a standstill.
Bernie Wycoff was a computer wiz at college. In his senior year one of his classmates, Tony DeBaio, told Bernie that he was going out to Seattle, Washington to start his own software company. He asked Bernie to come with him as his VP of Development. Bernie was reluctant to leave his family and friend. Moreover, he believed that good-time Tony would never make a success of anything. Therefore, he turned Tony down.
It is now ten years later. Tony DeBaio's company is one of the most successful software development companies in the world. Bernie has settled into a back office bank job that uses his computer skills. During the ten years since his graduation from college, Bernie
has watched his beloved parents sell the homestead and move to Florida. His three
best buddies took jobs in different parts of the country. Even Bernie's two sisters have married and moved away. There is only one relative left in Bernie's home town, an old uncle in a nursing home who no longer remembers who Bernie is.
Bernie has a girlfriend, Beverly Anders, to whom he complains every day about the poor decision he made ten years ago. "I should have gone to work for Tony DeBio. My life here has gone nowhere. I was so stupid. I literally threw away what might have been a brilliant future." Bernie tells Beverly he is very depressed over his situation. Beverly is tired of hearing this old story.
Beverly: I'm tired of hearing how depressed you are. You make me depressed because you are living in the past. Meanwhile your present and future are quietly slipping away. Do something about it and stop complaining.
Bernie: I don't know what to do.
Beverly: You could start by calling Tony up on the phone.
Bernie: What? And ask him for a job? He'd laugh at me.
Beverly: You could just make it a friendly how- are- you- doing sort of call and let him take the lead. He'll ask what you're doing work-wise and you can tell him you are thinking of making a change. See what happens. Doing nothing and complaining is making a mud-hole out of that ten year old decision. All you are doing is digging that mud hole deeper and deeper until it buries you alive.
DeAnne's Anger Tips
Anger and depression are very closely related. They are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. Depression is anger turned inward against yourself. Anger is an emotion that explodes outward. Depression is like beating yourself with a rubber hose – it leaves no marks. You do it to yourself. Here's the critical issue. It is by far healthier to be angry than it is to be depressed. When a person becomes seriously depressed, he or she is in danger of committing suicide. The next time you feel depressed ask yourself, "What am I
angry about?" Keep asking that question until you get an answer. Then, don't stop there. Ask yourself, "What am I going to do about that? How will I move forward from this?"
Thursday's Special
Last Week's Scenarios
Scenario #1
Sally Miller is the VP of Human Resources. At a meeting she makes a suggestion; no one says anything. Then one of the men makes the same suggestion.
If this sort of thing happens to you at work, there is only one way to stop it. Put your idea in writing, with all the attending data and make sure your name is all over that document. Then you can hold up that document and say, "It is gratifying to know that all of you believe my idea has so much merit that you are all wishing my idea was actually Bill's. But it is not Bill's idea. It is my idea and here is the proof."
Scenario #2
Your spouse nags at you from the moment you get home from work until you leave the house the next morning.
At a time when the kids are not around, say something like this:
●I have asked you three times over the last three weeks not to nag me and complain about issues when the kids are around. Nevertheless, you continue to nag me and complain when the kids are around to hear it.
●This makes me feel concerned because the kids are developing negative personalities as a result.
●I want you to reserve your nagging and complaining for times when the kids are not around.
●How else can we ensure that out kids grow up with a healthy and positive attitude toward life?
Then, no matter how your spouse responds, you continue to repeat that third line. You want to emphasize that you are not asking that he or she stop nagging and complaining. Just that you want it not to occur when the kids are around. As a result, you will experience a huge reduction in the nagging and complaining.
Scenario #3
Your child tells you she hates school and doesn't want to go there anymore. Every day she comes home upset and crying.
This is very serious because she refuses to tell you exactly what is going on. Perhaps a visit to her teacher and then the principal might be a good starting point for your investigation. If you are acquainted with her friends and classmates, you might ask them what is going on.
If you try again to persuade your child to reveal the reason for her intense dislike of school, start the conversation from another place. For example, you might ask her to describe what a school that she likes might look like and sound like. What kind of kids would go there? Describe the type of teacher she would like to have. How would everyone be dressed? What would they be learning?
This Week's Scenarios
Scenario #1
About twice each week, your neighbor's teen-aged son and a few of his friends go rummaging through your waste can of unwanted mail and other pieces of discarded paperwork. You are concerned that he is searching for personal data such as social security numbers and bank account information with which to do identity theft. You have no proof that this is his intension. But, you are very suspicious that he is up to no good. What do you think you should do?
Scenario #2
Your husband's best friend, Derek Grable, is married to a very beautiful woman named Antonia. Derek is absolutely nuts about Antonia. However, Antonia is unhappy in her marriage. Over coffee the other day Antonia confided in you that she plans to leave Derek within the month. "That will break Derek's heart", you said. Nancy replied, "I'm being stifled by all this housework and cooking. I want a career. I want to spend my time doing something significant. I've told Derek this but he just doesn't understand. So I'm leaving him. Please don't tell anyone what I've just told you. Please. I will tell Derek myself when I think the time is right." What do you think you should do?
Scenario #3
It is a dark, rainy night. You are driving home from a friend's home where you had a nice dinner and some great conversation. You are replaying the evening's events in your head and smiling to yourself. You are unaware that you crossed into another lane without signaling your intended lane change. You nearly hit another car. The driver in the other car becomes enraged and starts to tailgate you, honking his horn and putting on his bright lights. Suddenly, you feel a little fear creeping in because you do not know the reason for the other driver's strange actions. He appears to be screaming at you from his open window. You see his fist pumping. You speed up. He speeds up. What do you think you should do?
