My picture was also taken by Arundhati in Bentota as we waited for our chauffeur to show up. He'd disappeared without a trace, leaving us pretty stranded outside a gorgeous antique store crammed with amazing Dutch Colonial furniture. I'd do anything to acquire one of those gigantic teak chests - large enough to host a party in!
I have some more lovely, lovely images that tell a vivid story about our many discoveries in and around Galle. Especially the one which saw us wading into thigh high water in order to get to our stunning lunch destination at Taprobane island. It is the only way to access this incredible, lush and gorgeous property, which miraculously survived the Tsunami without any damage. While we timidly and gingerly made our way through the very waters that had caused such devastation, we half-wondered what our fate would be if there was another Tsunami at that exact moment. Morbid! Well, the terrific Sri Lankan repast served on a balcony kissed by a Flamboyante tree in full bloom, made up for all our fears. And then some. When it was time to wade back to the shore, we thought we'd become absolute experts at negotiating the swirling waters. Perhaps we had.
If you still want to see those funny pics of us holding our flip flops over our heads - you know what to do. Same drill - just raise your hands.

Dear Shobhaa mam, i don't understand wy you are so much obsessed with yesteryear don Haji Mastan. Right from the day one, Ekta kapoor announced her ambitious project on Haji Mastan,Once Upon a Time in Mumbai (Should have been "Bombay", since the don lived before the name-change) you have been constantly writing directly or indirectly, either about don or Movie. is it a gimmick to promote the movie ? percolates from Ekta to do so ?

So says E! Online Latino, that after giving a description of Rob as Georges goes on to say:
In addition to Pattinson, there's also performances from Christina Ricci and Uma Thurman, and it will premiere May 12 in the United States.
The only Bel Ami release Protagonist has confirmed is an August one in London. So either E! knows something we don't, or they put out wrong information. We'll keep you posted.

Texas' top Republicans guns, Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, have teamed up to oppose expanding Medicaid services in the state.
But their rare joint appearance Monday was marred by about 40 protesters screaming "Health care now!" and "Let us in!" outside the governor's Texas Capitol office.
Advocates say extending Medicaid could provide up to 1 million Texans some health care coverage.
Politics from around the world.
But it's also a centerpiece of the White House-backed health care reform Perry, Cruz and Cornyn despise.
Perry says the program will "bankrupt" Texas. Cruz, a tea party firebrand, wants to repeal the entire health care reform law.
Meanwhile, Democratic stars Julian and Joaquin Castro are holding their own event at the state Capitol on Monday, demanding that Texas accept Medicaid expansion.

24p DVD mastering.
First some basics, there is no true 24p mode on standard DVD, there are is only 60i encoding (and 50i for PAL.) So all those film source are encode to DVD by adding 3:2 pulldown (or 2:2 for PAL with a 4% speed up for 24p sources.) How this pulldown is added impacts how well your DVD presents on today's common progressive displays.
The advantage of pulldown that uses the MPEG2's repeat flags, this can help with quality as only fields used to construct the 24p signal are compressed, the repeat flag pad the data out to 60i. This flags also help progressive scan DVD players reconstruct the correct 24p signal more reliably. The manually created pulldown in AE works for most situations as many DVD players can use the data-rate pattern to guess the pulldown, but it is not always extracted correctly (seen as a weave pattern during motion.) Of course there is no issue for non-progressive outputs where the display is reasonable for pulldown detection (if needed.)
The way I produced several 24p DVDs in the last weeks is to export out of Premiere as a 1920×1080 24p (23.976) master CineForm AVI, then I used VirtualDub and scale using Lanzcos 3 filter to 720×480 and export out to CineForm 444 SD. Load the SD clip back into Premiere SD 24p preset, interpret footage back to 16×9, and export with Adobe Media Encoder to MPEG2-DVD 24p. Encore will take this file without further transcoding. Now that seems to be an odd path and it is, plus using VirtualDub is unnecessary, but the export to 1920x1080 master first is a very important step.

Houston's economy - diversified, but still all about energy
After the bust of the 1980s, Houston's leaders swore they had learned their lesson: No more depending so heavily on oil.
Flash forward 35 years. The region's economy has diversified - almost 100,000 people work in the Texas Medical Center and tens of thousands more work in schools, finance and technology.
But energy still makes up almost half of the local economy.
That's down from 87 percent in the mid-1980s, but Houston isn't called the energy capital for nothing.
All the major oil and gas companies have operations here, even if some - including Exxon Mobil Corp. - are headquartered elsewhere. Exxon recently announced plans to build a campus south of The Woodlands, boosting real estate values and starting a construction boom.
About half of the nation's refining capacity is located along the Gulf Coast, much of it spread between Freeport and Baytown. Petrochemical plants line the Houston Ship Channel.
"We have diversified," says Patrick Jankowski, vice president of research for the Greater Houston Partnership. "One thing people miss is in the '80s, we were a blue-collar energy town. We had people who could work a lathe, work drill pipe. Now what's going on in Houston is the decision on where to drill. The contracts with Venezuela or Indonesia or Russia are being negotiated here. We're a white-collar, energy-logistics town."
That provided stability and limited layoffs during the recession, he said.
More Information
Fuel Fix
Keep track of the ins and outs of the energy business at fuelfix.com, the Houston Chronicle's site for the latest energy-related news.
Although Houston's economy dipped in 2009 along with the rest of the nation, it recovered more quickly, led by the energy industry.
Employment in the oil and gas sector grew by double-digits last year, Jankowski said. That's slowed to about 6 percent, but more than one-fourth of all U.S. jobs in oil and gas extraction are in the Houston area.
The metro area has twice as many engineers in its workforce as the national average - more than 18 times as many petroleum engineers.
And the pay is good: Jankowski notes that the average weekly wage in the oil and gas extraction sector is $3,407, while it is $2,104 in the mining support activities sector.
Houston's economy clearly has other things going for it.
"Health care remains steady," Jankowski says. "Our ports remain strong. But oil and gas is still a good business to be in."

Who wall mounts TVs?
Electricians, handymen and TV installation specialists may all provide television mounting services. The person who does the mounting should be qualified and knowledgeable about basic construction concepts as well as working with audiovisual cables. In general, no specialized certificates are required to provide television mounting services, but as always do your diligence and make smart hiring decisions.
It's important to find an experienced professional who will ensure the TV wall mount meets building code. Most regions have fire codes that don't permit high-voltage power cords behind walls (low-voltage wires like HDMI and video cables are generally acceptable). A basic wall mount on drywall may take approximately one to two hours, while more complex mounts on brick or stone with hidden cables can take three or more hours. If you need more electrical outlets installed near your entertainment system, you may want to hire an electrician. Check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.
Can a TV be mounted above a fireplace?
You may be able to mount your flat screen TV above your fireplace for a more streamlined look in your living room. In fact, TV mounting professionals can hang your flat screen TV flush with a wall or from a tilting or full-motion bracket mount in any room in your home. A tilting or full-motion mount may be the best option above a fireplace so you can tilt the TV down for the best viewing angle. Whether the wall above your fireplace is brick, drywall, concrete, stone or plaster, most television mounting services can accommodate your needs. Hardier wall surfaces like concrete or brick will require more labor and expertise to mount, and will likely have a higher price range.
If you want your AV and cable wires hidden in the wall, you will also pay a higher price due to the added time and skill to properly drill the holes and run wires. Before mounting your TV above your fireplace, consult with the manufacturer about necessary distance from heat sources. If the space above your fireplace gets too warm, another location could be better for the longevity of your TV. Your television mounting services may take between one and two hours, or more depending on your home theater setup.
How much does it cost to mount a TV?
Elevate your home style with television mounting services. The national average price for television mounting services ranges between $100 and $130. Factors that can affect cost are the material of the wall you want the TV mounted on, whether you want the wires hidden, and any additional entertainment system connection you desire. It probably costs more to mount a TV on brick, stone or concrete than on drywall or plaster due to the added labor required to drill holes. For example, a company may charge an additional $99 to mount a TV on a brick wall. Here are some examples of average costs for television mounting services:
- Basic TV wall mount: $40. Does not include bracket, device connection or strip management.
- TV wall mount: $119. Includes bracket, mounting services, strip management system (for concealing external wires), and connection of all entertainment devices.
- TV wall mount with wires hidden inside wall: $139.
- Installation of additional electrical outlet: $65.
- TV wall mount over fireplace with wires hidden: $179-$249.
- TV wall mount and up to 5 speakers wall-mounted with hidden wires: $399.

Chad Ochocinco's career with the Patriots ended just as strangely and abruptly as it started.
NFL Network's Albert Breer confirmed Thursday, via a source with knowledge of the situation, that the Patriots released Ochocinco after trying to trade him throughout the day.
ESPN first reported Ochocinco's release. The team later confirmed the move in a release.
Earlier Thursday, a report emerged that Ochocinco left the Patriots' facility suddenly. It was later reported that he had an "eye appointment." Ochocinco's next appointment likely will be to the airport to visit another team.
This isn't a situation like Terrell Owens or even Randy Moss. As the Boston Globe pointed out Thursday, Ochocinco reportedly looked "very fast" and was in good shape physically at Patriots practices this offseason. He just never could pick up the offense. He caught only 15 passes last year, good for sixth on the team.
The Patriots system requires wideouts to make split decisions based on the defense in front of them. It requires them to be on the same page as Tom Brady. Ochocinco seemingly never could figure it out. He often lined up in the wrong place, a problem that extended into this offseason.
With plenty of wideouts now on the Patriots' roster, it was going to be an uphill battle for Ochocinco to make the team. We don't know what made the Patriots release him now, but they probably did him a favor. He now has time to latch on with another team.
Meanwhile, the Patriots machine will roll on with guys like Jabar Gaffney and Deion Branch. They might not have the star power or even the speed that Ochocinco has, but they know what Tom Brady is thinking when he drops back to pass. Ochocinco could never figure it out.
UPDATE: Ochocinco wrote on Twitter: "Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the "Patriot" organization... fans were wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best..."

"I like to think that conversations about science in my office are not that much different than they are in the classroom or laboratory."
There's something fishy going on in Belinda Sly's laboratory.
One of Sly's current projects is studying the genetics of fish color. "More specifically, we are trying to identify the molecular changes that make one Betta fish blue, and another red," she said.
She has Transylvania students helping with her research, and she appreciates the well-rounded background they bring to her lab.
"I believe that the liberal arts tradition makes science students stronger," she said. "They often bring insights from other courses that help us understand the context of the science we are studying."
She used one of the students working with her as an example. "Paul Brown '13 is a double major in fine arts and biology," Sly said. "It has been interesting how helpful his art training has been in the lab—everything from taking photos to making wax molds for sectioning fish embryos."
When it comes to studying biology, Transylvania students have advantages. "We have lots of great equipment here for doing molecular genetics and developmental biology, including thermocyclers for amplifying DNA; a DNA sequencer; a fluorescent microscope; and a digital camera system for photographing embryos."
With these sophisticated research tools available, it's easier to engage the students and develop the critical thinking they will need in their careers. Sly values maintaining relationships with her students even after they leave her classroom.
For her, teaching is most satisfying "when the students and I are working together to make connections or discuss things at a deeper level than can be identified in a textbook or lecture."

We need a template for an ecommerce site. Our cart software can be integrated into almost any design so feel free to aim for creativity as the highest regard. We mainly want an attractive, action delivering homepage that we can then link into specific sections of our cart software. The design must be unique, original and match the brand image instilled by our logo which can be found here: http://www.whiteknightprojects.com/mm/logo.gif
Marshy's Motorcycles Ltd
Desired Color Scheme:
See the logo and work from there.
Desired Style:
See description above.
Accepted File Formats:
layered .psd (named layers if poss)
We need the homepage for an ecommerce design based on the company logo which you see here at: http://www.whiteknightprojects.com/mm/logo.gif
The design needs to create a brand for marshy's motorcycles so a consistent colour scheme to match the logo style is a neccessity. We are looking for a clean, professional style.
We have looked online for sites and styles that we like and we have found two styles that we like most. I say styles here, this is not the same as colours...it just means the general layout and appearance. Feel free to use your own colour scheme to match the marshy's logo above.
We like the header and footer section of http://www.apachequads.com . The design is clean and has a consistency of brand about it that we like. The simple rollovers are also a nice touch. We would like to emulate (not copy!!) the clean header style. In our site we would like to have the following options/buttons in one of the navbars (if we use two like apache did - not neccessarily in the same place):
Off Road
And then in the second header navbar, we put the usual:
About Marshy's
Contact Marshy's
Search box
I also like the large image in the header of apachequads.com and would want one of those too which I will use to rotate promotion offers perhaps via flash.
Again the header should be very clean, match the style of the logo and flow nicley onto the content.
For the content section of the homepage, I like the way http://www.staffordshirequadbikes.co.uk promote different aspects in different boxes. I think staffordshire's page may be a little 'busy' with too much going on but I do like the way they have 'boxes' that blend nicely with the design in different sizes to promote various aspects of their service and I would like to emulate this in our site. The boxes I will need are:
Read our past customer reviews
Subscribe to our newsletter to get biking tips regularly
Special offer box/competition box
A picture perhaps of our showroom (use an image placeholder for this)
I would like to have some introductory text in there too 'Welcome to Marshy's, the North East's leading distributor of quads, atvs, buggies, motorcycles and scooters' or something like that.
So try and mix the cleanlinness (text) of apachequads.com and the action-orientated front page of staffordshirequadbikes.
The footer will include the usual sitemap, terms and conditions, privacy, quality, contact us and copyright information and should emulate (not copy!) the clean style of apachequads.com but obviously fit into the marshy's brand and page flow.
Bare in mind also that when a user clicks a product etc, the content section of the page will reflect this and your design must allow for this to work without losing the design flow.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Mike Wilson has been named the assistant track and field and cross country coach at Lees-McRae College, announced Bobcat head coach Ley Fletcher Friday.
"We think Mike is a great addition to our track and field program. His experience as a student-athlete at Appalachian State will be crucial to our success," expressed Director of Athletics Craig McPhail. "Mike spent time with our program this past year and we saw improvements in a lot of areas, so we look forward to seeing recruit more talented, good character, role-model student-athletes to Lees-McRae."
Wilson joins the Bobcat coaching staff following a tremendous career as a track athlete at nearby Appalachian State University, where he competed in the pole vault, high jump, triple jump, and long jump for the Mountaineers. He posted several outstanding performances during his career at ASU, including a fourth-place finish at the SoCon Outdoor Championships in the pole vault as a junior.
A native of Asheville, N.C., Wilson assisted the Lees-McRae track and field program as a volunteer last season, working primarily with the Bobcats' pole vaulters and helping Lees-McRae to post one of the top team performances in school history at the Conference Carolinas Championships. Wilson graduated from Appalachian State in 2011 with a Bachelor's degree in exercise science.
"Mike is a terrific field events coach, and we are extremely pleased to have him on our staff," said Fletcher. "His time as an athlete at Appalachian State, as well as his experience as a volunteer with us last year, should make him a tremendous asset to our program."

Scooped: Root Beer Sherbet
I scream, you scream, we all scream for...
Get the Recipe
I don't know of a more divisive soda than root beer, and I get it;"rootsy," "medicinal," and "minty" may not be what you want from a soft drink.
But I think more of us can agree that the root beer float was a pretty smart idea: tame root beer's bite with some creamy vanilla while making your ice cream experience a little more exciting.
The problem is that a root beer float is pretty hard to drink right. Start too soon and you just have wet ice cream that doesn't melt into its root beer base; wait too long and you lose the foamy head and any textural contrast that comes from the ice cream slowly seeping into the soda below.
So what if you could take the best qualities of a root beer float—its deep root beer flavor, its mellow notes of cream and vanilla, and its subtle effervescence—and make it into a scoopable dessert all on its own? One that's everything good about a root beer float with none of the downsides? Enter root beer sherbet.
This sherbet derives its flavor from root beer but its body from cream and corn syrup.* It's creamy and rich, and rather on the sweet side, but since it only has a fraction of the fat of ice cream, it's far more refreshing, just like the root beer float that inspires it.
* Yes, corn syrup, that ruinous product of modern American industrial agriculture that's killing us all. By which I mean a totally acceptable form of sugar with handy chemical properties that help resist iciness in sorbets.

Update#1: PLZ READ The contest has definetly picked up ... glad to see... and I would like to see more new entries... and I would like to extend it until Saturday morning...... not sure what i need to do to make this official... However, in fairness to the other people who have entered... I have currently narrowed down my design choices to the following participants in no apparent order:
Bearbick (awaiting changes and another incarnation if possible)
Zivichbm (latest version was good)
keaf (awaiting changes)
jak3r (awaiting another entry)
However... new entrants are welcomed... and plz submit image on a t-shirt and baby-t for the ladies if possible...
Update#!: PLZ READ Although i appreciate all the entries... the quality on all of them are not there.. there are a few good ones but i really need one that stands out which i can use to print... I don't know if its low prize money but i didn't put it at the minimum... Therefore i may have to extend this contest... I really wanna struggle when i have to choose a winner...and even pick 2... like i mentioned before...
I have held a couple contest before with successful results and good payouts that led to follow-on work... This is my first T-Shirt design but i would like to build on the existing look and feel on my current template and color scheme... Blue, Black, and Grey.... We are a hip/urban community website that has a strong following in the caribbean...
I am usually against palm trees and typical touristy images but if done right i will let you know with feedback before you go too far along...
There is no dedicated font for our company name so i am not attached to anything in particular... The only thing i am attached to is my logo... wouldn't mind seeing a few scenarios :
i) Circle Crest of current logo
ii) College Themes
iii) different variations of current logo that will allow me to do a one color print
HOwever... that is off the top of my head...last contest winner went against the grain and opened my eyes to a different style... so you can do whatever works
Here are some additional info that may help

** Given my last contest experience... i had alot of good entries but i could only pick one because they were for a website... BUT in this case, if i see subsequent work that is good too... i would be willing to pay for other designs...

Q I commute on the Interstate 680 Sunol express lane five days each week. I concur with your readers' observations. Violations across the double white lines are rampant, so I offer a simple solution:
In the spirit of "Les Misérables," which was released on Christmas Day: BUILD THE BARRICADES!!!
Some definitions:
The Oppressed: commuters who take their lives in their hands commuting this lane with violators so prevalent.
The Privileged: drivers who believe that laws do not apply to them and cross into and out of this lane at will.
Solution: Install the temporary cement barriers used during construction along the double white lines to solve the problem! If it works and Caltrans can find permanent funds, then build a permanent "BARRICADE" for the good of people's lives!
Results: less agony commuting in this lane. Free up more CHP patrols to attend to more pressing needs and issues. Keep the Privileged from hurting themselves due to their own arrogance.
Merry Christmas, and viva la legitimate users of the 680 express lane!!
Bill Meckfessel
A Vive la France! I like your writing style. There has been talk of installing barricades of some sort, but so far it's just been talk and there are no plans to do so.
Q It's understandable that we have to deal with inconveniences during freeway construction, but the temporary onramp from Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch to westbound Highway 4 is an accident waiting to happen.
Dale Burkhardt
A Why is that?
Q As you head down the ramp, because you are above oncoming traffic, your side rearview mirror doesn't help. Once you get to freeway level they've only provided about 10 yards for you to merge into the right lane of the two-lane freeway, which is usually occupied by fast-moving trucks.
The temporary concrete partitions prevent veering to the right if someone is barreling down on you as you try to merge. They should have given us a longer merge lane.
Dale Burkhardt
A Matters should ease soon. The temporary concrete barrier along the right shoulder could be removed by the end of the month. The new ramp is currently scheduled to be completed in mid-2015.
Q If one in three BART patrons parks at a station, how do the others get there?
Ron Johnsen
A About a third of riders walk to BART and 28 percent drive alone. Another 16 percent take a bus, 11 percent are dropped off, 6 percent carpool and 4 percent bike.
Q How can you test to see if your FasTrak transponder is working? I rarely use mine and the past couple of times I used it on the I-680 toll road, it didn't sound like it buzzed like it should have. I checked my FasTrak account, and I didn't see any charges. The FasTrak website says that if you think your transponder is not working, you should request a new one and then return the defective one.
Winston Chavoor
A These are not easy to test. If your transponder beeps consistently every time the vehicle goes through a toll facility, the battery is fine. If it sometimes does not beep, the battery charge is low. If it no longer beeps, the battery is dead and needs to be replaced. If the tag is more than 5 years old, your best choice might be to replace it, either by mail or in person at the Customer Service Center in San Francisco, whichever is more convenient. Your $20 deposit will be refunded when the old tag is returned.
Q I'm wondering about that onramp to Central Expressway at Mary Avenue from the right. There is a solid white line to the intersection, but quite often drivers shoot all the way over to the left turn lane, very scary at speed. Do you know if the county roads folks have considered installing channelizers here to force folks on that ramp not to change lanes?
John Gordon
A Santa Clara County road folks looked at this and decided that this area is not suited for installation of channelizers, mostly because of conflicts with bicyclists. But they will install an advance sign on the ramp for Mary Avenue in the next few weeks and may add more striping to better guide ramp traffic and discourage drivers from wanting to cross the line. This work should happen in the next several months.

Linda McCartney was a photographer, musician and animal rights activist. She met Paul McCartney in London in 1967; they married in 1969, remaining together until her death in 1998.
She was born Linda Louise Eastman on 24 September 1941 in New York City. She had one brother and two sisters, and was raised in the wealthy Scarsdale area of Westchester County, New York.
Her father, Lee Eastman, a showbusiness laywer, had changed his name from Leopold Vail Epstein. He was the attorney of songwriter Jack Lawrence. Her mother Louise Sara Lindner Eastman, the heiress to the Lindner department store fortune, died in an air accident in 1962.
I remember when I first met John Eastman, I asked him, 'What do you want to do? What's your ambition in life?' He said, 'To be the president of the United States of America,' which fairly soon after that he didn't want to do. They were very preppy. Very aspirational.
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
Linda Eastman studied fine art and history at the University of Arizona. She married John Melvin See Jr in June 1962; their daughter Heather Louise was born on 31 December that year. The couple divorced in June 1965 – she later described See as a "nice man, a geologist, an Ernest Hemingway type".
Two months later, Eastman saw The Beatles perform at their historic first Shea Stadium show on 15 August 1965.
As she was a real music fan she was quite pissed off with everyone screaming. I think she enjoyed the experience but she genuinely wanted to hear the show. That wasn't the deal, though. Not then.
She was introduced to photography by Hazel Archer, a teacher in Arizona, who gave her some simple advice: "Borrow a camera, get a roll of film and take pictures." Her first published pictures appeared in Spotlight, the UK actors' directory, after she was invited to accompany a journalist friend to a Shakespeare season by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
In 1965 she returned to New York, working for a time as a receptionist at Town And Country magazine. It was here that she chanced upon an invitation to join The Rolling Stones' press launch for Aftermath, due to take place on a yacht on New York's Hudson River on 24 June 1966. Linda managed to talk her way onto the boat, becoming the only photographer present.
The resulting images were in high demand, and appeared in a number of publications. She left Town And Country to become a professional photographer, often taking pictures of musicians onstage and off-duty, often in Central Park and in New York venues such as Fillmore East.
She took images of artists including Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, The Who and The Doors. Her portrait of Eric Clapton taken on the front cover of the 11 May 1968 issue of Rolling Stone magazine was the first by a woman. her photographs have been displayed in more than 50 exhibitions worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In 1992 a book, Sixties: Portrait Of An Era, was published.
Photography made me a different person because it was something I loved doing and just nothing else mattered. I could just take my camera and go, probably like Diane Arbus felt when she was taking pictures. I had that feeling. Even thought I had a child I still felt single. It's different when you're married and you've got to go cook dinner. I could just go, go anywhere.
Many Years From Now, Barry Miles
Linda Eastman met Paul McCartney at the Bag O'Nails club in London on 15 May 1967.
She was in town photographing groups for a book called Rock And Other Four Letter Words. She'd been sent from America, and she'd just done a session with The Animals. They'd come over to the club: 'Let's go out and have a bevvie and a smoke.'
So she was sitting in an alcove near the band, which was Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames – with Speedy Acquaye on bongos. They were always a big favourite of mine. I saw her and thought, 'Hello...' When she was about to leave the club, I stood up and said, 'Hello, we haven't met' – which was a straight pull.
Then I said, 'We're going on to this next club called the Speakeasy. Do you want to come?' And if she'd said 'no' I wouldn't have ended up marrying her. She said, 'Yeah, all right.' So we went on to the Speakeasy, and it was the first time any of us had ever heard A Whiter Shade Of Pale. We all thought it was Stevie Winwood. It turned out to be the group with a very strange name – Procol Harum.
That was the first time we ever met – and then we met on and off, because I would see her if I went to New York or if she was in London.
They met again four days later at Brian Epstein's house in Belgravia, London, at the launch party for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. After her photographic assignments were complete she flew back to the US.
Their paths crossed once more in New York in May 1968, following The Beatles' return from India. McCartney and John Lennon were in the city to announce the formation of Apple Corps, carrying out a succession of interviews for the press and an appearance on NBC-TV's The Tonight Show.
In May, John and I went to New York to announce that Apple was starting: 'Send us your huddled talent.' We wanted a grand launch, but I had a strange feeling and I was very nervous. I had a real personal paranoia. I don't know if it was what I was smoking at the time, but it was very strange for me.
I remember sitting up there and being interviewed. John was wearing a bus driver's or a prefect's badge, and he was doing well. Linda was there taking photos, and afterwards I said, 'Couldn't you tell I was nervous?' but she said it was fine.

When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that the foul was definitely a flagrant, by the way), and ESPN analyst Jalen Rose was so impressed by it that he though Allen deserved a prize for outstanding...uh...literature?
Wrong prize, Jalen! I think "Oscar" is what you were looking for. We shouldn't be too hard on Rose, though, because live TV is really hard, and we are officially in the dog days of NBA playoff coverage. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, and Rose is one of the better NBA analysts working today.
Rose's partners did a solid job of handling the gaffe, too, as they effectively deployed the "Someone Correct Him While the Rest of us Laugh Quietly" strategy to perfection. Good work, fellas.

The embroidered steaks on the bedspread, means it will only work on meat-eating sewing freaks, ladies. The Trap was on show at the Come Up To My Room installation in Toronto last week.

From high-end luxury homes to remote off-grid building lots, the Big Island real estate market offers something for almost every budget.
To fully appreciate the range of possibilities in the Big Island real estate market, consider this:
In September 2017, the median home sale price for the Big Island was $339,500. Of the 201 properties sold in September, the lowest priced sale was $28,000. The highest: $10,500,000. That's quite a spectrum, but it also means the Big Island has something for almost every buyer who has decided to move to Hawaii.
If you'll be purchasing with cash, you already know your budget and you are ready to begin your search. If you'll be using a loan for your purchase, start getting familiar with the market in your target area while also starting the loan qualification process with a reputable lender who understands the Hawaii market and escrow process.
Having a realistic picture of what you can afford will help you narrow your search and sets you up for a successful offer when the right home comes along. Having an experienced lender (someone who understands underwriting requirements for circumstances unique to the Big Island market) sets you up for a successful escrow.
As you view listings on our site, you can use the mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments and other costs. The calculator is the third tab under the photos on a property detail page.

Product code:
Products with this warranty are covered by the EPIC® LIMITED Warranty for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase.
DiscoveryULTRA is our third redesigned and updated version of our most popular soft side. At the core of this is all new airFRAME v.2 chassis which makes DiscoveryULTRA lighter while retaining all Discovery's original great strength and durability. Another great feature is our new wheel system which is now lighter, and even more easy-rolling and durable than ever. All in all EPIC DiscoveryULTRA is lightweight, rugged, easy-to-use and offers almost unbelievable value for money. DiscoveryAIR is our most comprehensive range with often even more products than we show here in this catalogue. Please even check our webpage www.epictravelgear.com for the latest and greatest if you don't find what you're looking for here.
• Extremely lightweight and durable design featuring airFRAME chassis.
• Airspeed [4X] wheels system with offset on the front in order to maximize stability.
• Protection on all exposed corners.
• The [4X] wheel system on this trolley is very lightweight, durable and quiet.
• SpaceBOOST Expander function gives added packing volume on demand ( 45 & 55 cm trolley).
When travelling to the United States, the Transportation Security Administration "TSA" screens every passenger's baggage before it is placed on an airplane. While technology allows us to electronically screen bags, there are times when TSA needs to physically inspect a piece of luggage. The TSA has worked with several companies to develop locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks may not have to be cut. Products from EPIC® marked with the Travel Sentry symbol are equipped with approved locks from Travel Sentry, and meet the standards for global travel security.
The spaceBOOST expander is a little bit of magic in the shape of a zipper. Use the zipper to open and make the front of your suitcase expand or slim it down by closing the zipper again. The spaceBOOST expander function might depend on the chosen size of bag.
This is a further refined cabin size concept that optimizes even the width of the case and gives us the maximum allowable dimensions of 55cm height, 40cm width, and, of course, 20cm depth. This is a size format that we use for many of our hard sided cases.
The outer material uses a durable and water-resistant 600D Polyester fabric.
45cm: Just like the SlimMAX™ 55 described above, SlimMAX™ 45 can be adjusted with its SpaceBOOST™ expander easily, and at will depending upon how and where you're travelling, and how much kit you need onboard. The only difference is, that the height and width are reduced to 45cm and 33cm respectively, making it the perfect choice for even the most restrictive charter trip. Of course, you can even use SlimMAX™ 45 where larger formats are allowed.
This trolley is equipped with our lightweight airFRAME chassis including a core manufacrured from a specially formed and cut polypropylene sheet coupled with specially developed and formed reinforcements top and bottom.
Products with this warranty are covered by the EPIC® LIMITED Warranty for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase.

In the event that your particular case is no longer available, we reserve the right to replace the product with a new product with comparable value and characteristics.This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear on the product and/or it's components, cosmetic wear or cleaning, nor does it cover the replacement of lost accessories, lost or stolen bags and/or bag contents. This warranty does not cover damages due to third party handling.

Construction Holdups Delay M Street Cycle Track Three Months
The gods must be crazy
M Street Bike Project Update
And then this official statement from DDOT.
If I understand correctly, the situation as it stands currently is this: there will be a protected cycle track on M Street installed in October. However, for one block this protected cycle track (which runs along the north side of the street, the opposite side of the street from Metropolitan A.M.E church) will be converted to a standard bike lane and this bike lane will be painted green.
So, where are we now? Did #bikeDC win or lose? Was this whole saga a qualified victory or a defeat, but with mitigating circumstances?
How should I know? We all have our opinions about the potential consequences of the decision to build a cycle track that turns into a bike lane that turns into a cycle track- maybe they will be dire! Maybe it won't matter! Maybe it's not a big deal at all! Maybe it's an even better design! I have a few thoughts, none of which are especially profound nor incisive nor unique. They are:
1. This really isn't the end of the world. Sure, it's suboptimal. In fact, it feels really disappointing to have a very tiny sliver of road space for a protected cycle track made even slightly tinier. But can people deal with a standard bike lane for one block? Yeah, probably. Will this one block be the difference between the continued growth of cycling in DC and its demise? Probably not. But yeah, this still feels like it sucks.
2. This is a bad precedent. But only if it's a precedent. The rationale between the change in the design is that the situation of this church, its historical significance to the District, and the events held therein, are exceptional to the point that adjustments needed to be made. You can believe that or not believe that. It's hard to see, however, that the activities- the need for parking for services and special events- are somehow substantially different from the activities of other churches and other buildings on M Street. Therefore, what is to stop other locales along the cycle track from requesting a similar exception? To my mind, nothing. However, it doesn't mean that DDOT will be equally willing to grant those exceptions as they were in this case. Only time will tell.
3. So, now that this is "sorted out"- such as it is- why do we still have to wait until October to get the cycle track installed? I mean, it's probably not about design. Just work flow and availability of staff and such. Still, it sorta blows that the months with the highest amount of bike traffic won't be ones in which the bike lane exists.
I have other thoughts on this and would be happy to share them, but this post has dragged on. Feel free to email me or @ me through the twitter machine.

Seven points currently separate the second-placed Northern Irish and the Czechs with three games to go, meaning Karel Jarolim's side have to win or their hosts will be guaranteed at least a runners-up berth.
O'Neill wants his players to kill off that morsel of hope and gain a mental upper hand that he believes will be pivotal in front of a buoyant Belfast crowd.
"The focus is on ourselves, we know we're going to have to play extremely well and produce a big performance," O'Neill admitted.
"But it is one of those games where the psychological side of the game will be huge.
"It's going to be a difficult game for them if they go behind, to continue to believe.
"We have to try and make that (happen) and try and take whatever hope they have away from them early in the game."
Czech Republic were beaten 2-1 by group leaders Germany in Prague on Friday but had one eye on their following fixture three days later when they made six changes.
Their loss to the Germans means the onus is on them to become the first visiting side to win a competitive game at Windsor Park since Portugal in 2013, and O'Neill is banking on those in the terraces being an X-factor for his team.
"The crowd will play a massive part because it gives you energy when you don't have it," he noted.
"There will be times during the game we'll be under pressure, I've no doubt about it. The Czech Republic have to come and win the game, it's as simple as that.
"It's their last throw of the dice, whereas we have three throws of the dice and that's a nice position to be in. We have to make sure on and off the pitch the atmosphere is generated in the stadium, hopefully we'll have a special night."
Though a point would be enough to seal second place in Group C with two fixtures to go, Northern Ireland would still like more to enhance their prospects of progressing to the play-offs.
One of the nine group runners-up in the European section will miss out and O'Neill's team have 10 points, with 11 enough to bag a play-off berth.

The man who is now Australia's most senior Catholic failed to remove an alleged pedophile priest who teachers said posed a danger to children at a Melbourne primary school, a parliamentary inquiry has heard.
Cardinal George Pell, who was then a bishop, was told in the early 1990s about Father Peter Searson, who was suspected of sexual molestation and seen visiting the boys toilets several times a day, the Victorian parliamentary inquiry into abuse in religious organisations has heard.
A group of teachers from Holy Family school at Doveton visited Pell, who was then bishop for the southern area of Melbourne, to make the complaint, one former teacher Carmel Rafferty told the inquiry on Wednesday.
"The principal authorised the three year five and six teachers to make a deputation to the area bishop for the south eastern area at the time, who was Bishop Pell, to advise him of danger to children and the need to remove the priest," she said.
Asked if anything happened after the visit to Pell, Ms Rafferty said she did not hear about anything happening.
The inquiry has previously heard the church took 15 years to deal with Searson, who is now deceased.
Ms Rafferty said there was a culture of "collusion, cover up and gross negligence" throughout the Catholic system.
A former principal of Holy Family, Graeme Sleeman, also complained about Searson and says the Catholic Church destroyed his name and integrity because of it.
Mr Sleeman resigned from the school because nothing was being done about Searson.
He said he was unable to get another job as a teacher.
The inquiry also heard former Archbishop of Melbourne Frank Little became hostile and evasive when confronted with an allegation of abuse involving another priest, Father Wilfred Baker.
Former priest Phil O'Donnell told the inquiry he became aware Baker was grooming a young boy and alerted his parents.
The parents spoke to Archbishop Little about the matter as did a magistrate and a lawyer, Mr O'Donnell said.
"It is fair to say that they received a very cold welcome," he said.
Mr O'Donnell said the parents described the response from Archbishop Little as "evasive" while a lawyer and magistrate also went and saw the archbishop and he was "hostile" towards them.
Archbishop Little, who died in April 2008, said he did not believe the allegations, Mr O'Donnell told the inquiry.
Baker was jailed for four years with a non-parole period of two years in 1999 after he admitted sexually abusing eight boys between the ages of 10 and 12 between 1960 and 1979.
Mr O'Donnell said the Archdiocese of Melbourne had known about allegations of sexual abuse by clergy since at least the 1950s.
The inquiry resumes on February 4.

Puerto Rico Business Establishment Statistics
In 2016, U.S. employees worked at
7,757,807 establishments
—Census Bureau, County Business Patterns
The County Business Patterns (CBP), released annually by the U.S. Census Bureau, provides detailed economic data on business establishments.
An establishment is a single location where business or other operations take place. Establishments should not be confused with companies or other enterprises: one firm may operate multiple establishments throughout the United States. Non-profit and government organizations may also operate multiple establishments.
How many Puerto Rico establishments are in each industry sector?
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) divides up businesses and other establishments into industry sectors. The chart above shows the number of Puerto Rico establishments in each major sector.
While NAICS does include the public sector, CBP data excludes most government establishments—with the exceptions of wholesale liquor establishments (NAICS 4248), retail liquor stores (NAICS 44531), federally-chartered savings institutions (NAICS 522120), federally-chartered credit unions (NAICS 522130), and hospitals (NAICS 622).
How does the number of Puerto Rico establishments vary by their employee counts?
This chart shows the number of establishments broken down by their "size class." Size class groupings are derived from the number of employees reported during an establishment's mid-March pay period. Employees on paid sick leave, holidays, and vacations are included in this figure; however, sole proprietors and partners of unincorporated businesses are not counted as employees.
The "1 to 4" group also includes establishments with no employees reported in March, but that nevertheless paid wages to at least one employee sometime during the year.
How many Puerto Rico establishments are corporate, non-profit, or other forms of organization?
Corporations are businesses treated as separate legal entities, distinct from their members. S-Corporations are a special kind that do not pay federal income taxes; instead, their shareholders must report the S-Corp's income and losses on their tax returns.
Sole proprietorships and partnerships are unincorporated businesses with one or multiple members, respectively.
Non-profits are organizations that use surplus funds directly, rather than distributing them as profit to owners or shareholders. Most non-profits are exempt from income taxes.
Note that "Government" here only includes employees of government-run wholesale and retail liquor establishments, federally-chartered savings institutions and chartered credit unions, and hospitals. Other government employment data is excluded from the CBP series.

Italian Book Covers: Tell-All, Pygmy, Snuff, Stranger Than Fiction, Fugitives & Refugees, Diary, Choke, I. Monsters & Survivor
Continuing our trend from last week of showcasing some of the coolest international Chuck Palahniuk covers, let's take a look at some of the recent selections from Italy. In my opinion, Italy has long had some of the more stylish and unique covers for Chuck's books. Unlike a lot of other countries who just use a slight variation of the U.S. cover, Italy's usually stand out on their own. I'll even forgive them for mucking up my dedication in Lullaby, seen here as 'Tennis Widmyer.' Sighs.
Props to Michele Ponte for sending us some of these.

The Global Integrity Report provides scorecards on anti-corruption and rule of law measures for individual countries. The reports include citations to statutes on areas of law such as, taxation, campaign contributions, bribery, and labor law.
Global Integrity Report http://report.globalintegrity.org/
Description of Global Integrity Report Methodology
The Global Integrity Report is a tool for understanding governance and anti-corruption mechanisms at the national level. Written by local researchers and journalists, the Report is characterized by an innovative, award-winning research methodology; a robust peer review process; and start-to-finish transparency.
Methodology Overview:
Unlike most governance and corruption indicators, the Global Integrity Report mobilizes a highly qualified network of in-country researchers and journalists to generate quantitative data and qualitative reporting on the health of a country's anti-corruption framework. Each country assessment contained in the Global Integrity Report comprises two core elements: a qualitative Reporter's Notebook and a quantitative Integrity Indicators scorecard, the data from which is aggregated and used to generate the cross-country Global Integrity Index.
An Integrity Indicators scorecard assesses the existence, effectiveness, and citizen access to key governance and anti-corruption mechanisms through more than 300 actionable indicators. It examines issues such as transparency of the public procurement process, media freedom, asset disclosure requirements, and conflicts of interest regulations. Scorecards take into account both existing legal measures on the books and de facto realities of practical implementation in each country. They are scored by a lead in-country researcher and blindly reviewed by a panel of peer reviewers, a mix of other in-country experts as well as outside experts. Reporter's Notebooks are reported and written by in-country journalists and blindly reviewed by the same peer review panel.

A fully immersive, human-scale architectural object, created by michael hansmeyer and benjamin dillenburger emerges as the first life-sized construction to be entirely 3D printed out of sandstone. 'digital grotesque' is now a realized space, consisting of two individual halves that form an aggregate volume -- the grotto. from the outside, the structure presents itself as a cubical mass, but its interior hides an intricate geometry of millions of design facets. the room's impossible ornamentation and free-form geometries represent a paradigm shift within the field of digital fabrication. every aspect of the object is materialized by custom designed algorithms. using computer based data input, a geometric mesh of 260 million specified micro-details emerges as an architectural unit. the medium, and the process of its assembly, is a carefully chosen component of the project. sand-printing technology has recently emerged as manufacturing technique that overcomes the limitations of 3D printing, which typically is confined to prototyping and small-scale models. the process allows the creation of large-scale elements with high resolution and accuracy, which are fully self-supporting and can be assembled as a solid construction. in june, designboom covered the 1:3 scale prototype of 'digital grotesque', which premiered in the swiss art awards in basel, switzerland.

Sort laundry before washing, keeping like colors together. Sort any patterned items based on the dominant color. If no single color is dominant, take your pick of piles.
Look out for vibrantly colored items! If you are washing a vibrant garment or patterned item for the first time, test for color bleeding.
Sorting laundry throughout the week is a huge time saver.
Set apart stained items and garments to be treated or handwashed from your everyday wash load to eliminate the annoyance of digging through the hamper when laundry day rolls around!
Stain Solution is ideal for protein and tannin stains, such as wine, coffee, ink, grass, urine, blood, and old, set-in stains such as pit stains.
The Wash & Stain Bar removes stains such as dirt, grease, oil, makeup, and ring around the collar.
Treat pit stains, yellowing, and dinginess by applying Stain Solution directly to the affected area. Then sprinkle All-Purpose Bleach Alternative on the Stain Solution to create a powerful paste.
To remove odor, presoak the item for 30 minutes in tepid water mixed with ¼ cup of Scented Vinegar.
Machine Wash
For example, white sheets and towels are best laundered with hot water and a long wash cycle, while everyday colors can be laundered using a normal cycle with warm or cold water.
Wash with like colors and materials only. We recommend washing sheets and towels separately from clothing.
Add Signature Detergent according to the machine type and load size.
Eliminate static, prevent wrinkles, ease ironing, and keep clothing soft with Fabric Conditioner Classic. It is best used with every other wash.
To maintain whiteness and brightness, add 1 capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative to each load in the wash cycle.
Dry & Finish
Select the appropriate temperature according to the fabric content of your load. To ease ironing, remove from the dryer while still damp or line dry.
For the ultimate fragrant finish, use Ironing Water while steaming or ironing.
Spray with Stiffen Up when ironing for a crisp finish and added wrinkle and stain resistance.
To freshen between launderings, spritz with Fabric Fresh Classic.

Another Saturday morning, another craving for scones... and I didn't want to go to the store. As I'm stirring in a scoop of vanilla sugar into my coffee, inspiration struck:
Vanilla Bean Scones
But would they be too boring? Too plain without the tart cranberries and sweet orange glaze? Would just the vanilla bean be enough?
Silly girl. Did I forget that the simplicity of the vanilla bean is exactly what the vanilla bean is all about? Apparently I had. But only briefly.
Vanilla Bean Scones
2 cups plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste
1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons of cream or milk
In a mixer, combine flour, vanilla sugar, baking powder and salt using the paddle attachment. Cut the cold butter into 1/2 inch pieces. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low until the butter is mixed in and is the size of peas. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, whipping cream and vanilla bean paste with a fork. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the cream and egg mixture. Turn off the mixer once added.
Put some flour on the counter. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Add some flour onto the top of the dough, then pat it out into a disk - about 8-9 inches in diameter. Cut the disk into 6 pieces like a pie.
Smile at your daughter...
Ice them with spoonfuls of the glaze while they're still hot.
