The last reign of a Caesar city-builder franchise was a full eight years ago, and in the time between the Caesar team produced the charming builder, Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile. The pharaoh-themed Nile pushed the development team from a 2D palate into the 3D world, and the fourth Caesar game takes an even further graphical leap.
Caesar IV takes full advantage of nearly every visual bell and whistle that you might think of - quashing the notion that this level of detail is reserved for top-drawer shooters and RPGs. Light bloom, soft shadowing, weather effects and a full sunrise/sunset cycle are just some of the unexpected graphical delights.
You are the governor of this luscious Roman city, and the game focuses on three people groups: the plebeians, the equites and the patricians. Plebeians are the unskilled labor pool that are required in large numbers to serve farms and "factories."
Equites are the artisan classes, who serve in lower levels of government, operate the markets and the service industry. Equites have a higher standard of living, are more dependent on luxury goods and require nicer housing.
Patricians, on the other hand, do not work at all, but bring in the most taxes due to their opulent lifestyle and expansive villas. Taxing the hell out of patricians becomes a key concern - as long as you can keep them happy with entertainment and services.

BUT lets not dwell on that, because what has brought me back to the blogging world is far more important than the reasons I stopped blogging-- The power of prayer is an amazing thing, so I knew that this would be a great way to spread the news...
--Christmas Eve morning, Gracyn, a little girl that I have babysat for 2 years, was put in the hospital. There is a serious virus attacking her heart and the doctors can't seem to stop it. She most likely needs a heart transplant, but at this time she is not able to receive one.
She is 9 years old, and is one of the sweetest little girls that I know! For more information on her condition, specific prayer requests and praise reports, check out her website, here. Her parents have been keeping it up to date with recent happenings.
Would you join me in praying for Gracyn and her family!? Her parents are with her in Gainesville at Shands Hospital, and her two brothers, Cole and Brooks are here in Orlando with family. From recent reports it seems as though she is doing much better, but she still has a long way to go! Please, please pray for this sweet little girl!!!

Editor's note: David Frum writes a weekly column for CNN.com. A special assistant to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2002, he is the author of six books, including "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again," and is the editor of FrumForum.
(CNN) -- On my last day on a visit to Beirut, Lebanon, I participated in a long conversation with a Hamas political leader.
I agreed that the conversation would be off the record, but without direct quotation, I can summarize what was said.
The peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is dead, in the view of Hamas. Likewise, economic growth in the West Bank is illusory, a product only of Western aid. The Palestinians are divided, and the international community has lost interest in us.
That might sound like a negative assessment. Yet my Hamas interlocutor insisted that today's desperate outlook would soon yield to tomorrow's glorious victory.
With the peace process dead, the Palestinian Authority would break apart. West Bank Palestinians would realign themselves with Hamas. Those who refused would be eliminated as collaborators.
The Hamas man did tacitly acknowledge that Palestinian attacks on Israel have failed in the past. He declined to agree that the 2000-2003 intifada was a failure or that Hamas had been defeated in the December 2008 Gaza war. But he did not argue that these wars were successes either.
But next time, things would be different, the "resistance" would be global: Hamas, he suggested, would call Muslims around the world to join the fight against Israel, just as Muslims worldwide joined together in Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight the Soviet Union.
This next fight -- he said -- would force Israel to rethink its continued existence. He said that just as his generation was more radical than his father's, so the next generation would be more radical than his own. The Hamas man asked with sinister humor: "If you Americans care so much about the Israelis, why don't you give them California?"
The tone was defiant, belligerent, confident. Yet through it all, I also heard a despairing undertone. The Hamas man lamented that nobody understands Hamas. Those who try to talk to them -- like U.S. president Jimmy Carter -- end up paying a heavy political price. He veered from boasting that they would never negotiate with the Israelis to complaining that Israel had ignored their offer of a truce in 2004.
He claimed the flotilla organizers who tried to bring aid to Hamas-controlled Gaza had achieved a great success -- then later complained that nothing had changed, that Israel controlled the flow of goods into Gaza as tightly as ever.
The plan seemed to be: for Hamas and the radical Palestinians to suffer defeat after defeat until finally Israel collapsed. That does not sound like a very good plan.
Earlier on the trip, another Hamas representative had explained this point of view very succinctly: "To emerge from the fight with your steadfastness undiminished: that is victory."
But actually ... no it's not victory. Fighting and losing, followed by more fighting and more losing is a formula for prolonging the pain of defeat. Hamas promises its supporters a far-off day of apocalyptic retribution and redemption. If my source is right, there will be another outburst of violence soon. Almost certainly it will end the way the previous rounds of violence have ended. Israel will be left standing more strong and secure and prosperous than ever - and its attackers will be more frozen in their refusal to do the thing most necessary to end this conflict: recognize Israel, reject war, and make the best deal they can get based on today's realities.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of David Frum.

NWBC Chair to Keynote Crowdfunding Webinar
Crowdfunding: A Key Resource in Advancing Women's Access to Capital
NWBC Chair to Keynote Crowdfunding Webinar
Crowdfunding: A Key Resource in Advancing Women's Access to Capital
Today, the National Women's Business Council Chair Carla Harris will keynote a crowdfunding webinar hosted by Business Forward— an organization well known for bringing more than 3,000 business leaders to the White House to brief the President's economic advisors. On May 27th at 3:30pm Business Forward will host a Crowdfunding webinar targeting start-ups and women-led businesses.
"Access to capital remains a critical issue for women entrepreneurs, our research shows there's a direct correlation between access to capital and revenue generation. We see crowdfunding as a key resource in advancing women's access to capital, says NWBC Chair Carla Harris.
Crowdfunding is now a resource that's in everyone's purview. Crowdfunding gives women access to funders outside of the typical venture capitalists networks, allowing increased opportunities for women entrepreneurs to access capital on their own terms."
This issue of undercapitalization remains a barrier for women entrepreneurs. We must change this. Crowdfunding is a path forward: a game changer for the industry, and for women in particular. Crowdfunding is proving to be a key resource in advancing women's access to capital. Consider these numbers:
The National Women's Business Council continues to be a leading voice in advancing women entrepreneurs. For more details and to register for the crowdfunding webinar, view here: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5580370413953523202

Is it so hard to understand?
You got left behind 'cause you wanted to do something with your life
You wanted something where mediocrity would not suffice
And i know the scene is bleeding, but I can't shake this feeling that's inside
I know this life's not for everyone but I'm still gonna try
We could give up now, let ourselves just drown tonight
Never voice my point of view and no more songs to sing for you,
But this time, not out without a fight
Time keeps running out. I wake up each day and my pen and stare though my hazy eyes
At the blank sheet that's in front of me, but no one wants to hear me sing about
How the scene is bleeding, but I can't take this feeling that's inside
I know this life's not for everyone, but I'm still gonna try
For years it's been built up and I won't let them tear it down
We've bled for this scene and with our blood we'll wipe the stains clean
For all those that were left behind, don't think we'll ever say goodbye
You're always with us in our hearts and on our minds
We'll try to cure this disease that mocks everything
That you wanted it to be, it's everything to me

These branded celebrations range from festive sneaker soirees to retrospective magazine parties that commemorate a milestone or brand birthday. While Jordan Brand's recent Shanghai party celebrated the brand's 30th anniversary with star-studded guests and museum-inspired displays, Grazia's immersive art installation was made from past issues of the popular style publication.
In addition to immersive parties, these branded celebrations also include publicity stunts like eBay's birthday cake that was unveiled in London earlier this year. The massive dessert was sent down the River Thames and commemorated the e-retailer's 20th anniversary.
Other standouts include Nike's tennis-honoring street celebration that featured spontaneous matches between athletic icons like Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and even John McEnroe who won eight Grand Slams during his tennis career.

I was just saying what the correct (honest) explanation would be, _if_ a validator behaves the way it does. There is no way to explain its behavior in simpler language, since it _is_ performing sort-of validation and claiming to be a validator. If it is renamed to be an HTML and XHTML checker, then things change quite a bit. No need to be cautious about issuing messages intended to be useful for practical (X)HTML authoring - which are bound to be nonsensical in the context of generic SGML validation. Then again, a can of worms is opened. As soon as you honestly admit that you are doing "checking" in a broad sense of the word, you are committed to admitting that it is inherently subjective. You might _still_ distinguish between objectively verifiable claims about violations of a specification and subjective warnings, and even classifying the latter. > "The sequence <FOO />* can be interpreted in at least two different ways, > depending on the DOCTYPE of the document; for HMTL 4.01 Strict*, the '/' > terminates the tag <FOO (with an implied '>'). However, since many > browsers don't interpret it this way, even in the presence of an HMTL 4.01 Strict* > DOCTYPE, it is best to avoid it completely in pure HTML documents and > reserve its use solely for those written in XHTML". Well, it really does not depend on the DOCTYPE but on the SGML declaration - and for HTML 4.01, the SGML declaration is fixed. And if the user has specified an HTML 4.01 DOCTYPE, it's very illogical (well, just wrong) to play by different rules. In practical terms, the "fussy" mode lumps things together in an unconstructive way. The SHORTREF issue was seldom a practical issue (except in some contexts where the real problem was a failure to use quotes around an attribute value, see the old saga at http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/qattr.html ) and it became one _only_ because - people were told to use XHTML and they understood part of it, _and_ - people started using validators without knowing what they are doing. I'm afraid that no formulation of an error message or a warning will help in either of these problems. Note that it is a problem _only_ in the sense that people get confused with validator messages. Browsers interpret <img /> as <img> and don't care about no end tags. So in practical terms, the message would be useful only to the very small group of authors who actually tried to use SHORTREF features. (And those people can surely be expected to know SGMLese.) -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/Received on Sunday, 31 August 2003 13:44:40 UTC

Manchester City opened up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League with 3-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, as Arsenal returned to form with a 7-1 thrashing of Blackburn Rovers.
City, who suffered a surprise defeat at Everton in last week, bounced back with a straightforward victory over the Cottagers at a blizzard-hit Eastlands.
Sergio Aguero set City on the road to three points with a first-half penalty, before Roberto Mancini's side eased into a 2-0 lead through a Chris Baird own-goal. Edin Dzeko added a third on 72 minutes.
The win re-established City's three-point lead in the title race, although second-placed Manchester United had a game in hand.
"It was a good performance. The players were fantastic," City boss Roberto Mancini said. "It was very important to win after the defeat at Everton in midweek. It was important for our future. There are some difficult moments during the season. This can happen. I hope now we can continue to win all our games."
In other games on Saturday, Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick as Arsenal silenced their critics with a seven-goal humiliation of Blackburn.
Disgruntled Arsenal fans had reportedly been planning protests at the Emirates after Arsene Wenger's side had slid to three consecutive league defeats and a disappointing draw at Bolton Wanderers last week, but Wenger's side responded to the disquiet amongst their supporters with a ruthless demolition of Rovers, which saw them move up to fifth in the table.
Van Persie took his tally for the season to 28 after striking in the second, 38th and 62nd minutes, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (two) and Mikel Arteta getting the other goals, before substitute Thierry Henry completed the scoring.
Morten Gamst Pedersen was the lone scorer for Blackburn, who also had Gael Givet sent off for a wild challenge on van Persie just before halftime.
The defeat left Blackburn firmly rooted in the relegation zone, two points adrift of safety in 19th place.
Wenger, meanwhile, praised the contribution of teenage winger Oxlade-Chamberlain.
"Alex was not ready earlier in the season, but he has made a big step in the last months, he produces team play and is not only going forward, but contributes to the buildup and defending," Wenger said. "He has improved very quickly and he is a fighter as well in his personality. He plays like a guy who had talent in September, but is much more mature now."
Rovers' beleaguered boss Steve Kean was left bemoaning Givet's dismissal.
"It was a tough afternoon," Kean said. "When you try to compete with 11 men it's hard enough. The biggest bearing was the early goal and the sending off, and the referee did not have a tough decision to make."
Elsewhere on Saturday, Norwich City moved up to ninth place with a 2-0 win over struggling Bolton Wanderers, second-half goals from Andrew Surman and Anthony Pilkington sealing the points for the Canaries at Carrow Road.
Queens Park Rangers striker Djibril Cisse followed up his debut goal for the club last week with a controversial red card as the Londoners slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Loftus Road.
QPR had got off to a dream start when new signing Bobby Zamora opened his account for the club with a 16th-minute opener, but Cisse's red card transformed the game as Wolves hit back to level through Matt Jarvis, before Kevin Doyle fired Mick McCarthy's men into the lead.

Stanley N. Gershoff, the first dean of the nutrition school at Tufts and the matchmaker behind its unique marriage of science and policy for the betterment of world health, died on March 11 at his home in Oakland, California. He was 92.
With the support of Tufts' president—his longtime friend Jean Mayer, a nutritionist—Gershoff campaigned for the creation of the school, which opened in 1981 and eventually became the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
Dariush Mozaffarian, the current dean, said Gershoff was a visionary leader and scientist. "He was also a gentleman and, throughout his life, a staunch supporter and advocate of our school. His legacy is remarkable."
Forming an independent graduate school of nutrition was a radical idea in the early 1980s, when most nutrition programs were subservient afterthoughts housed in schools of agriculture, home economics or public health. As Gershoff told the Milwaukee Journal in 1981, "The problem with those arrangements is the scope of activities is very much dictated by the school it's in."
To counter that, Gershoff hired faculty with backgrounds in economics, psychology, international relations and other social sciences, hoping to tackle the real-life obstacles that stand between people and a healthy diet. He saw those barriers during his own field research in Asia, where he studied vitamin A fortification in Indonesia and amino acid fortification of rice in Thailand. Domestically, he visited poor Americans in their homes, where he discovered that many did not know about resources such as the Women Infants and Children (WIC) program, and that food stamp offices sometimes were not listed in the phone book. "One has to be a bit warped to provide a program and not inform the people it was designed to help," Gershoff told a congressional committee in 1986.
"He was a warm and genuine and brutally honest person," said Alice Lichtenstein, who holds an endowed faculty position, the Gershoff Professorship, at the Friedman School. "He said what he felt," she added, recalling the choice words he had for her when he was trying to teach her to fish and she proved too squeamish. Fishing, and his longtime summer home in Mashpee, Massachusetts, were two of his passions.

Big field for super Stock champs
Eighty-four drivers will contest the 2008 New Zealand Super Stock Car title at Wanganui's Oceanview Speedway this weekend.
The tight and irregularly-shaped oval should provide a very close championship with the first challenge being four groups of 21 cars each set for Friday night qualifying.
That will decide the 26 qualifiers for the three-race final on Saturday night.
Defending champion Simon Joblin (Taranaki) heads the entry list, and some of the in-form title contenders are Aucklander Kelvin Gray, Palmerston North's Peter Bengston, Hawke's Bay racer Shane Penn, Wellington's Wayne Hemi and Hamiltonian Scott Redfern.
The Palmerston North track dominates the entry list with a turnout of 24 cars; Rotorua has the second biggest representation - 12 cars.
There are 14 drivers (six from Nelson and eight from Christchurch) making the trip from the South Island.

Being able to accurately spot the beginning of a bull market can be one of the most lucrative skills around. This fact alone makes it difficult to achieve, as so many well-educated and experienced investors try to spot the signposts that lead us into traditional bull markets.
Are we in one right now? Opinions vary, but the S&P 500's 45% + rise since March 2009 certainly meets the traditional definition of a 20% rise from a market low. But a better definition of a bull market is an extended period of time when markets are stable with an upward trend. The extended part is key, as it allows all investors the chance to participate without feeling like it's a race to the top.
Let's look at five signs that tend to predict the next bull market. No single one is a surefire tip, but that's just the way Mr. Market likes it: he has a nasty habit of eliminating patterns and keeping investors mystified for as long as possible.
Sign No.1 – Sector and industry leadership changes in the stock market.
In the most basic sense, bull markets come when more people want to buy stocks than sell them.
Because stocks love to turn bullish before the broad economy picks up, look for a shift in demand to the stocks that benefit first from economic growth. Stocks in sectors like financials, industrials and retail often lag behind in a bear market - nobody wants them.
When a bull is approaching, these sectors often become market leaders. Large institutional investors start piling in, hoping to see the conditions of these companies improve first. So look for leadership to change from defensive sectors like utilities, healthcare and consumer staples. When investors start dumping the latter in exchange for financials, industrials and basic materials, it's a good sign that major investors are optimistic about the future. (To learn more, read Industries That Thrive On Recession.)
Sign No.2 - Key economic indicators turn upward.
We get a slew of economic indicators all throughout the year, but several have been deemed leading indicators for their ability to foretell future growth in the all-important indicator of gross domestic product (GDP).
When GDP is positive and growing, the bull market is already in. So look for a turn in the following key leading indicators:
- A rise in industrial production
- Several weeks of falling jobless claims
- A rise in the Philly Fed Index
- Rising durable goods orders
A true bull market should be predicated by all four indicators showing growth, or at least changing direction if they have been falling for several months.
Sign No.3 - The Baltic Dry Index turns sharply upward.
The Baltic Dry Index is a specialized measure of the rates paid by producers and shippers of key raw inputs like coal, iron ore and grains. These raw materials are purchased by the ton, so they need to be put in large carrier ships and sent all around the world to the companies that will use them to create energy, steel, food products and other consumer goods.
This index is good to watch because there's a long lead time before growth in shipping leads to higher production of goods by the end users themselves. The Baltic Dry Index is also quite volatile, so higher price action is easy to spot, and may give a clue toward future growth in the economy long before it shows up elsewhere.
Sign No.4 - Money market fund assets drop.
When investors are generally skittish, they sell their risky investments (stocks) and move cash into safer ones like bonds and money market funds.
In a bear market, money market fund assets will rise and rise, building a bubble of pent-up demand. After all, money market funds may be safe, but they won't earn you a solid return. (For more insight, see Do Money Market Funds Pay?)
The Investment Company Institute publishes weekly figures on the aggregate amount held in all types of funds - stock funds, bond funds and cash funds. Look for a sustained drop in money market fund assets, and a corresponding rise in stock fund assets. This will signal that investors are making their way back into the stock market. The higher that money market assets grow in a bear market, the more gunpowder is available to fire back into the stock market when the bull is back.
Sign No.5 - Stock indexes stabilize.
This last sign may sound overly redundant, but don't be fooled by its simplicity. Stock market indexes need to form a bottom that can be recognized by all participants. They then need to form a stable upward trend over weeks and months, rather than a volatile zig-zag that threatens to turn south just as much as north.
The more stable the trend of the broad indexes - like the S&P 500 - the more confident investors can become, especially those who have been patiently waiting on the sidelines for obvious signs of safety before dipping their toes back in.
Parting Thoughts
Don't be afraid of missing a few percentage points of stock returns in your efforts to safely and accurately spot a bull market. The best bull markets last for years, not months, and you'll sleep far better at night if you've developed strong convictions about your investment. Leave the whipsaw trading to the iron stomachs of the world, and take your time in evaluating all the signs.

In a continuing tribute to all my lovely (and coincidentally foreign) friends who graduated in Nazneen's class last week, let us begin this post with some music:
I for all the best reasons think quite highly of my friends, but it really is no exaggeration when I refer to them as celebrities/role models/inspirations/any other noun highlighting their positive impact on the world. They're all little bigshots to say the least–one such being Daniel Caplen, a very gifted artist with a voice and a swagger that sweeps a good 99.8% of women off their feet:
Alright, now onto the next bit. This post is two weeks overdue; but nevertheless one I could not delay much longer
It was obviously a Tuesday night, since Tuesdays are my mandatory dishing and dining nights. Nazneen and I had plans for supper at Jade Teahouse & Patisserie, a patisserie (obviously) and Southeast Asian cafe in the quaint bikram-studio and tea house peppered neighbourhood of Sellwood.
At some point in the earlier bit of the day (probably over Twitter), I had the brilliant idea of asking the remainder of our "Awesome Foursome" aka Iman and Kemi to join. Kemi was all for it and Iman was as usual making excuses about having seventeen already overdue papers to work on…
…excuses. She showed up. In her sweatpants. But it's Sellwood nonetheless Portland and we're all foreign and ethnically ambiguous and have great accents (see a theme to this post) so whatever. Just so we have a visual to go by- here's a snap…at graduation though, not the restaurant (obviously):
As is typical for each time the four of us go out on one of our CRAZY adventures, we over-order…to the max. Plus Iman and Kemi have helped instill this new fabulous habit in Naz and I which is called, "order an extra meal (or five) for takeaway!"
Since this is partially a patisserie, we started with some goodies:
Iman LOVED the custard thing- like loved it; she probably went through about seven spoons to use to dig into it. I on the other hand couldn't keep my hands off the cookie…which tends to be a theme in my life for anything containing high quality chocolate. The sesame ball was mainly for Naz…but saccharine balls aren't really my thing; I prefer them spicy or savoury
And now…the main courses…none of which could have fit on the table at the same time. To remind you, the amount of food you are about to see was for four of us. Yes four relatively slender girls; and let me iterate that we are NOT dainty in the least; personality or appetite (as illustrated below):
This place is incredible; there's even some sort of a curry burger on the menu that was screaming my name (next time, obviously). We did a decent job of polishing off most of the food–and by most I mean that Kemi still had enough leftovers to feed her until her family was to come three days later.
Though a casual eatery, we were there for a good 2-3 hours; still picking at peanut sauce-drenched frites (or custard brioche if you're Iman) while laughing to the point of tears/heart palpitations/other physical reactions that normally symbolize intensive pain. We spoke to great extent about scenarios involving cling wrap, the alleged properties of yams (according to Ugandan grandmothers), we reminisced, and gave blatantly honest accounts of otherwise mundane life experiences. It was a hilarious time as it always is with these three; #toomuchfun was the theme of the night…
…that was until a couple who looked to have been having #toolittlefun intruded amidst another joke about clingwrap reprimanded us for laughing too loud–well at least that's what we interpreted as since most people in their mid fifties discuss clingwrap in the context of preserving potato salad.
Buzzkill. That was until we got back in the car and put on We Are Young and discussed how we each would be like as grandmothers. The mutual conclusion? Fun.
I miss these ladies. Laughing like that has to do something for your longevity.

These days offers are beckoning Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna – as an actress. After making her Bollywood debut with the movie 'Department' directed by Ram Gopal Varma, Manchu Lakshmi has got yet another offer. This time the call was from the great Kamal Hassan asking Lakshmi to be part of his Viswaroopam movie but Lakshmi has turned down the offer citing dates problem. Manchu Lakshmi said that he was unable to take up the project since she could not accommodate her dates but expressed her thanks to Kamal Hassan for considering her. Hmm! Well, let's hope Kamalji finds someone! Viswaroopam is a trilingual movie to be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi directed by Kamal Hassan himself.

There are times in life in which we change tracks, moving from one way of being to another. This happens especially if we are on a path of evolution and growth. As we evolve and grow so do the forms around us. Our energy may require a new container. If the energy is bigger and higher, old forms may no longer be suitable vehicles of expression. People, situations that once suited us, drop away to make room for higher forms that are a better match for our current energy.
This happens in our personal relationships, but can also happen in our work and careers. And when this happens, it can feel like a setback. Temporarily clients drop off, sales may slow down and a business that may have been successful stalls. It is important at these times to understand that all that is happening is a shift in form and that the stalling and drop in energy is not a sign of something not working, but of something moving upward to a new place. The business may need to be changed slightly or altered all together. A new part of one's life and mission may be opening up, but to do so the old one may need to be pruned or left behind. Or there may simply be a pause going on to prompt self-reflection.
Times of void can bring up uncertainty, doubt and hesitation. A vacuum needs to be formed, so that it can be filled with something new, but the void, can feel like emptiness and failure, rather than a blank slate filled with potential. An antidote to this is that of entering a consistent space of dialogue with higher power and open ended intention setting.
" I surrender and trust in the higher power and in that within me that is seeking to be born, as for the highest good and from the will of my higher self and soul. May the highest version of my own Soul blueprint and potential actualize now and may all that is required for it to manifest be set in place, in perfect sequence and timing, with grace, miracles and ease".
Voids can feel a bit disconcerting, but they are the pregnant pause before the birth of a new stage of life. In a time of fast track evolution, parts of us are dying and being reborn in regular succession, as we shed skins we have outgrown in favor of ones that better serve our new energetic stature and size. The more we learn to surrender to these transitions, the more we can get out of our own way and let the universe bring what is meant to be born.
Do not be afraid if the quiet growth within, that unfolds in the winter spaces between times. Anticipate the unfolding of a new spring.
Much love and blessings

Web Design techniques have come forward a long way ahead from inception.Way back when a Website Designing Company took up the Web Design work for a client,all that was needed was to mark up and code statistic images and float them online.Now looking back,it was childs play,when compared to the present-day needs and tougher tasks, expected of a Best Web Design carried out by any Website Designing Company.
After spending money by website owners and web developers toiling and moiling to create a beautiful website in all aspects, success through the functioning of the site does not come automatically.Your website is perfect of course and contains everything needed for its successful performance online, but unless you make your websites online presence publicized loud and clear,among the millions of net visitors,everything becomes a waste.

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma plated seven runs in the first inning, and that itself was too much for winless Arkansas-Pine Bluff to overcome.
The Sooners lined 20 hits Tuesday on their way to a 16-6 victory to start a two-game series. The two teams are scheduled to meet again today at 3 p.m.
Three Sooners — Hunter Haley, Niko Buentello and Anthony Hermelyn — each had three hits. Two of Haley's hits were home runs, including a two-run shot in the bottom of the first that got the ball rolling for the Big 12 perennial powers.
Oklahoma (3-1) had already built a 4-0 lead off six hits before Humberto Zavala was chased with one out in the inning.
UAPB (0-5) finally scored in the third inning when Kirby Campbell hit a two-out single to left to drive in Jerimiah Figueroa, but Oklahoma added four runs in the bottom half of the frame for an 11-1 lead.
The Golden Lions whittled the margin down to 11-6 with five runs in the fourth. Figueroa started the rally with a two-run single, and leadoff man Rashawn Tillman tripled to right center to score two more runs before coming home on a wild pitch.
But that was all they could muster. Haley's three-run shot highlighted a five-run half of the inning for the Sooners.
Figueroa went 3 for 3 and Campbell 2 for 2. Didier Landry went the longest among five UAPB pitchers, allowing one hit in the fifth through seventh innings.
Skyler Henson allowed six earned runs on eight hits in 1 2/3 innings, and Jaron Gold gave up four earned runs on five hits in two innings before him. Kevin Walsh pitched a perfect eighth inning.
Connor Buchmann allowed two earned runs on four of UAPB's eight hits in the first 3 2/3 innings, but took the win.

What's Killing the Newspaper and Who Will Save It?
Almost ironically, we read in the newspapers every week that their industry is in crisis. Newspapers across the country are shuttering overseas bureaus, offering buyouts to dozens (even hundreds) of talented journalists, and in the process imperiling their capacity to serve as vital watchdogs over our constitutional system. How did we end up in a situation where a newspaper like The Washington Post, a fountainhead of Watergate and so much other skeptical and investigative reporting critical to our republic's health, is in serious jeopardy? From this predicament a heated debate is underway about the future of journalism--is the answer subscription fees from digital age users and advertisers, philanthropic support through endowments, increased revenues through online advertisers, or some sort of a hybrid? A panel of industry experts - including Steve Coll, staff writer at the New Yorker, Edward Felsenthal, Managing Editor of The Daily Beast, and Dick Tofel, General Manager at Pro Publica - joined us on March 12th to discuss the answers to these questions and more.

While most of the marginalized populations ISDS have been working with are living in poverty, ISDS also works to the well-being of general poor. Health care is the first issue that ISDS tackle when it comes to the poor. Starting in 2008 by conducting research looking at impacts of ill-health and health care costs to the poor, the Institute is hoping to bring about evidence that can be used to advocate for universal health insurance for the poor and near-poor population and the improvement of health insurance.
Recognizing that there has been no voice from the poor on health care policy, ISDS is determined in using research findings together with other relevant knowledge to support the poor voice their concerns on health care.

What is that bird talking about?
February 3, 2014 by LisaKendall
Filed under Pet Birds
"I tried to discover, in the rumor of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony." Gustave Flaubert
Most of us have been conditioned to consider bird's chirping, singing, or squawking as something like noise. How sad for us. Although a great listener of humans and four legged animals, I've been woefully ignorant of the rich discussions taking place in the trees. The most basic understanding of bird language would have enriched my experiences with birds both captive and free.
Soon after being given a Quaker parrot in the summer of 2013, a friend played Jon Young's video about bird language for me. My eyes (and ears) were opened to a new dimension to the world around me. Just like humans and other mammals, birds make noise to communicate. Young's insights allowed me to hear Dahlia's comments and requests as clearly as I do my human friends.
Dahlia clucks, trills, squawks, whistles, sings, kisses, clicks, and purrs.
When I walk away or leave the room or car, she makes an unpleasant squawk. This is obviously an emotional response to something she does not like that serves as an alarm. When I walk back toward her or return to the room or car, she often trills, kisses, or coos.
When I stop singing in the shower, she often squawks. When I resume, she makes adorable sounds celebrating music and interaction as if it is a party.
After six months with Dahlia, our ability to communicate makes us friends and roommates rather than human and animal or worse, "owner" and "pet." She is wonderful company, a fun dance partner, and great entertainment. She is also demanding with a strong sense of entitlement. It is one of the most intimate relationships I have ever had.
"When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life." Brenda Ueland
By listening better and more often to Dahlia, I have helped her personality develop. Knowing I will respond to her needs, she is quick to make her desires known.
Playing music she likes encourages her dancing while enhancing her quality of life. Letting her take the lead in games we play makes her more than a toy.
"The activity of interpreting might be understood as listening for the 'song beneath the words'." Ronald Heifetz
One game we play is a version of Simon Says. Dahlia only initiates this when I am in the room but not engaging with her, which is telling. I hear a distinct whistle, rhuu-whoo-rhuu as she gets my attention. Recognizing the cue, I copy. She quickly gives me another, wheet wheooo, which I echo. Then wrhoo-ruh-wheet and my ready reply.
If I had not listened for meaning or "the song beneath the words", I would have thought she was merely vocalizing. Playfully copying her led to another activity making us more like dance partners than jailor and jailbird. The connectedness we share as a result of varied interactions makes us both happier.
Having lived with so many animals over the years I am amazed at birds' interest and ability for dance. My quaker parrot can't stop moving to the music. It's automatic. Maybe we should call song birds song and dance birds.
"An appreciative listener is always stimulating." Agatha Christie
Some species, like mockingbirds, include "elements learned in the individual's lifetime" in their songs. Researchers call this appropriation. Many scientists contend that song bird calls include grammatical structure. Undoubtedly, we will be learning about bird communication for years to come.
Birds use what they have to communicate much like humans do. Linguists will tell you that humans do not use all of the sounds our mouths can make. Some languages use more than others, but putting together all of the various sounds human language makes leaves some sounds completely unused. Birds however use all of the possible sounds due to their more limited apparatus.
Birds tell us they are content, happy, excited, angry, bored, and scared. Much of the emphasis on human/bird interaction is on how much human language they can learn or already know. But, if birds understand some of the words they use and understand words that they cannot say, our interaction with them, our relationships, would benefit from humans working on their listening and communicating skills.
Some things to consider:
Why you should listen to your bird
What your bird is telling you
What your bird wants you to know
What your bird is trying to tell you
You and your bird will be happier if you become a better listener.

Living with the Happy Bird
October 30, 2013 by LisaKendall
Filed under Pet Birds
Birds lovers know how much time and care feathered friends require. Ensuring their happiness is a lot of responsibility. In my quest to keep my quaker parrot Dahlia entertained, I've discovered ways to incorporate her in my daily routine.
Most birds are very social creatures getting lonely, bored, and even distressed when left alone. Looking for opportunities each day to include Dahlia keeps her close as I go about my day. Activities especially suited for a bird on the shoulder or nearby include personal grooming, light housekeeping, working on the computer, and running errands. When you have time, playing and allowing them to fly freely can be both physically and mentally stimulating.
Games and Activities
Taking time for focused attention will make all the difference in your bird's quality of life. There are many ways to interact that will promote bonding and stimulate brain activity. Many birds love toothpicks. Try putting one in your mouth and turning your head to one side. The movement and stick-like object hits the bird's nest-building instinct. Dahlia and I play keep-away for a couple of minutes several times each week. After she takes the toothpick, she expertly shuttles it to the other side of her mouth to keep it from me. I position her so I can take it back. Knowing I want the toothpick stimulates her interest in it while providing greater eye/beak coordination. Although she has little interest in toys, most birds do. It's important to buy new toys regularly.
Around the House
There's no reason your bird can't help you while you're working on a computer, doing light housekeeping, opening the mail, and doing bike and car repair. Several bird friends have marveled at how much their birds enjoy watching them do dishes. Since most birds have the developmental ability of a toddler, seeing dishes moving from one place to another provides enough interest for most birds. Having a perch or playstand makes hanging out with you a snap.
In the Bathroom
Bathroom time is an opportunity to keep your bird company. People have showered with birds for decades if not centuries. Dahlia wasn't up for the shower at first and now she won't let me bathe without her. If your bird doesn't is reluctant at first, don't give up. The steam is especially good for tropical birds. My parrot never tires of my morning routine. The motion of the toothbrush is one of her favorite things. She bobs up and down with the brush every time. The dental floss never makes it to the finish line as I rush to use it as she chases it between my fingers.
On the Road
Dahlia goes with me to run errands daily. Whether she stays in the car or goes in, we spend more time together and she enjoys the changing scenery as a result. Running errands with a bird can be a great bonding time. I put a towel, paper towels, or paper diaper changing pads on the dashboard above the steering wheel. Dahlia stands on the edge of the dash, on the steering wheel, on my shoulder, and on her cage in the passenger seat. I keep snacks in the glove compartment and bring fresh food such as one grape cut in half, a cucumber slice, and a very small container of bird seed is usually in my purse.
At the Pet Store
If you have time, stop in a pet store for a brief walk through. Dahlia enjoys going to the pet store about once each week. She stares at the rabbits and cats, marvels at the fish, and postures for the parrots. The stress relief I get from so much animal cuteness makes the trip well worth it. Seeing my own little bird react to the menagerie of animals is a delight, but the main benefit is making her day a bit more interesting.
Flying Free
Since Dahlia spends much of her time on my shoulder, she is mainly a free bird. She often flies ahead to the car, flies to me from across the room, and regularly flies both in and outdoors. Since this was not something I planned, I did not train Dahlia to fly or to return to me as is customary. She will not be flying again until spring and then only in parks far from traffic.
Caution; free flying should only be done with birds bonded to you. Since there is no one else Dahlia would rather be with, she always comes down from the tree sooner or later.

Introduction: This paper describes a compiler from the SML core language to a simple intermediate code based on the lambda calculus. It forms an optional part of the SML Kit, and the interface presented to the rest of the Kit is the same as that presented by the ``pure'' interpreter. The lambda compiler is not intended to be an example of how to generate highly efficient code for SML; instead, it serves to illustrate in a clear, modular fashion some of the techniques which are needed to compile core SML into a simple intermediate language.
The Kit is, inasmuch as it is possible, a direct implementation in SML of the SML Definition, such that the internal structure of the compiler reflects the objects and inference rules of the formal semantics. It contains a typechecker which is a fairly direct coding of the static semantics of SML and a ``pure'' interpreter which is a corresponding coding of the dynamic semantics. The purpose of this paper is to describe a modular extension to the Kit: a replacement interpreting phase which actually compiles SML to a simple intermediate code and executes this. This extension, which we shall refer to as ``the compiler'', has the same external interface as the interpreter of the dynamic semantics (henceforth ``the interpreter''), all differences being internal. (In fact, there is one difference: the compiler will report inexhaustive and redundant matches, since it has the machinery to do so; the interpreter does not.)
Our motivation in designing and implementing the compiler was not efficiency; instead, it was to produce a system to illustrate the techniques needed to compile SML into a simple intermediate language. If these techniques are implemented in a clear and modular fashion, gaining efficiency is largely a matter of refinement. However, a compiler which has been constructed with efficiency as a driving force in its design is unlikely to demonstrate its internal structures and algorithms in a clear and modular fashion.
A motivation for the SML Kit was to have a system which was complete in its implementation of the SML language and yet open enough in terms of its internal structure and interfaces to allow aspects of its operation to be investigated, altered and experimented with. The desire was for a tool which would allow changes or additions to the formal semantics to be implemented with the minimum of effort, so that they could actually be seen in operation and played with (and this aim has been achieved in a number of projects, including Extended ML). While there are a number of SML compilers in existence or under development at present, none can be considered simple enough to allow this kind of experimentation. In addition, large, commercial-quality compilers tend to contain extra machinery required for efficient code generation, and this tends to obscure modularity. Also, there is no motivation on the part of compiler writers to produce a piece of software which reflects the Definition in its internal structure---all that is important for such an implementation is adherence to the language semantics ``on the outside'' (and even here, compilers can vary).
Is this then perhaps a good reason not to implement any kind of compiler in the SML Kit? Possibly; but it was considered a useful exercise for the reasons outlined below, and in addition, the highly modular nature of the Kit allowed the compiler to be integrated in isolation with no compromises to the structure or operation of the rest of the system, apart from some minimal information required from the typechecker. The Kit can be built as an interpreter or as a compiler from a large body of shared code---30000 lines of the system (including the generated parser and all the static semantics machinery) is common between the interpreter version (an additional 1500 lines) and the compiler version (an additional 5500 lines).
The Kit provides a good testbed for experimentation at the level of the formal semantics. New ideas for typechecking, for example, would be formulated in the static semantics and could them be implemented in a fairly direct manner in the Kit. Similarly, alterations in the semantics of program execution could be described formally and then implemented. However, there are experiments and projects which would benefit from a simple, modular, implementation of the complete SML language and yet might not fall into an area which can be addressed by the formal semantics. This is probably unlikely in the case of the static semantics---type systems are, by their very nature, formal, and can only be dealt with in a satisfactory manner using semantic techniques. In the case of the dynamic semantics, the situation is rather different. Pragmatics still plays a major part in compiler research, and program execution can be considered independently of the dynamic semantics. In particular, the provision of a functional intermediate language (in this case, one related to the lambda calculus) means that experiments which are often performed on the source language (such as code instrumentation) might be done at the level of the cleaner, simpler, intermediate language instead.
For such pragmatic experiments, it was felt that the dynamic semantics of the Definition fell at too high a level to be of direct use. While the dynamic semantics of SML is fairly simple, it is simple at a level which might fail to convince a compiler writer. The dynamic semantic objects are at quite a high-level, are built from high-level abstractions like finite maps, and sometimes have fairly complex behaviour. By contrast, research in compilation techniques is often concerned with representations of data objects and the ways in which such objects can be efficiently manipulated. The notion of representation is different to a compiler writer with his concept of machine words and memory, to that of a theorist who formulates rules in terms of environments and maps, and concepts of efficiency (whether at the level of algorithm complexity or numbers of operations) do not arise at all at the semantic level.
A greater impetus is given by the fact that a large portion of the SML Kit can be shared between the interpreter and the compiler, and the compiler can benefit from the parser and typechecker for the entire SML language, plus the overall modular skeleton of the interpreted system.
It should be stated that some of the main ideas in the compiler (such as the adoption of an intermediate lambda language with unique variables, and the use of higher-order functions to compile declarations) were first seen in Standard ML of New Jersey, and the reader is referred to Compiling with Continuations by Andrew Appel (Cambridge University Press 1992) for a more extensive coverage of SML code generation, together with some of the techniques employed in the Kit. Suffice to say that the Kit Compiler is a lot simpler in overall structure and function, but operates in a similar way to the back-end and runtime system of SML/NJ.

I am not one for very hot food as my sweat glands cannot take the heat. If food is too hot but still palatable I will eat it – but you will see straight away from my face that the meal was too spicy for me. This chilli sauce is not for my palate – it is really hot. But, unlike most hot foods that I come across, it is very flavoursome. The ingredients make this chilli sauce have a flavour punch that you will enjoy, and you can scale down the heat by using mild chillies, or by removing the seeds from your chillies. I used medium hot chillies with the seeds, as we were having friends to stay for a week who love heat, and this chilli sauce was a great way for me to spice up their meals, while still being able to eat my own.
Do you eat spicy foods?
- Place the chillies, ginger, garlic, vinegar, sugar, paprika, salt, cumin and turmeric into a sauce pan
- Bring to the boil
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes
- Leave to cool before adding the lime zest and juice
- Purée until smooth
- Place into a sterilized glass jar
- Pour over the olive oil and seal the jar
- Shake to mix well

text: Pio is a spoiled, snob, lonely and extravagant 23 years old young man, but he is also a literature genius whose parents passed away in a tragic accident. He is the only heir of a big fortune that he decided to spend making reality a new dream, something that is even more important than the successful books he wrote. He wants to create a generation of writers such as those of the XX century. and he wants that his generation succeeds by copying the way of life and the conception of work of those who, one hundred years ago, managed to create a community devoted to literature. To do this Pio turns one of the castles he inherited into a Residence Hall and invites other awarded young writers. To convince them to be part of his dream Pio promises them a wage, however the guests must respect strict and old-fashioned rules. Six out of the eleven writers that Pio invited accept the conditions and move to the Residence Hall. But soon the differences between Pio and the writers become a problem. The young artists go party, drink and do not seem to care much about literature. This way of life threatens the dream of Pio, who has to face problems he never dealt with before

FREMONT, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 15, 2013) - Mattson Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSN), a leading supplier of advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors, today announced the finalization of plans for Phase IV of its cost-reduction program, which primarily entails a broad reduction in force across all areas of the Company. The total estimated reduction in annual operating expenses for all four phases of the cost-reduction program is expected to be $30 million. Combined with the ongoing gross margin improvement efforts, the Company's cash flow breakeven point is expected to be reduced to the mid to high $20 million quarterly net sales level by the end of Q1 2013.
"Over the past five quarters, Mattson has taken appropriate measures to restructure and size the Company to conserve cash during the down-cycle and enable significant leverage to deliver profitability in the up-cycle," said David L. Dutton, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Leaving Q1 of 2013, the results from all phases our cost-reduction program are expected to decrease our annual operating expense run rate by over 40%. These measures when combined with our ongoing gross margin improvement program lower our quarterly net sales breakeven level from the $50 million range to the mid to high $20 million level," noted J. Michael Dodson, Chief Operating and Financial Officer.

I have lived in this building for the past year and was thinking of moving until Mark arrived on the scene he has done so much to make this a better place to live. If he goes I'm sure there will be a lot of us who follow he's the best and I home the management company realizes what they have in him.
keep up the good work Mark and thanks again
bunnylover1 on 05/15/2012
In the past we have had bug issues...but i'm happy to say that since the arrival of the new manager Mark, this building has gone from gross to fabulous...I'm so happy to have Mark here because this building is now a beautiful and clean place to live...Thanks Mark...
Long time tenet on 03/11/2012
New managers have moved into the building and already a great change is in the air. Mark one of the new managers came in last Thursday and all I've seen him do is work to clean the place up...he's painting, cutting trees and weeds as well as bushes.
He's been helping tenets to fill out work orders so that tenets can get problems in their apartment fixed. The energy in the building has completely changed.
I'm so happy The management company brought someone in that is willing to do t
he work and get this place fixed up.
He's promised changes and if his first week is any indication of his commentment to fixing years of frustration, for the first time in a long time I actually believe a change for the better is on the horizon.
Thanks Mark, looking forward to seeing you succeed...

This building has been bed bug free for the past 6 months.
The new management company has been very pro-active in attacking this problem head on.
roger on 10/18/2011
Not in Cali,but Denver.Bed bugs are everywhere.I only wish I knew where or how this happened.The bus,perhaps the bar I go to,its dark and warm in there.My job,are they there also ?I know one thing for sure.Once ya get them,your fucked they are with you forever.Moving does no good.Its so bad,I lose sleep and sit up at night.I sure wish I didnt have this crap where I live.
Anonymous on 06/15/2011
It is early June 2011, and the bedbugs have made their way to my apartment on the 5th floor. :( they are feasting on my legs, the little bastards... Management says that dogs will come this week to sniff them out and get rid of them... I sure hope they follow through... Management is terrible.. There are many problems in this building.. The hot water was shut off for 6 days recently.. Finally had to get a hotel room for a bight to get a hot shower. Unacceptable.., don't move here!!!
annoyed tenant on 04/06/2010
As of now this building still has BED BUGS!!! after two years. The management does nothing for this building unless they are forced too.
Inspected by the city a month ago and had over 150 code violations.
jc on 11/29/2009
As of March 8th, 2008 the Health Department sited the Commodore for finding 1+ Bed Bugs on the second floor. Since then, and as of November 1st, 2009, there have still been bed bugs throughout the building. ISO-TECH pest management was contracted and brought dogs into the building to inspect each apartment. I've had a bed bug problem originally in November and Dec of 2008, It wasn't until March April that the mgmnt finally treated my unit and since then I haven't had any bites, but my neighbor h
ad them twice as well and my upstairs neighbor too then recently in Late october/November the dogs alerted that there were still bed Bugs in my unit and about a dozen other apartments. They are STILL HERE it'll be almost two years in March 2010. DO NOT LIVE AT 1830 NORTH CHEROKEE AVE HOLLYWOOD,CA!!
I've lived here for many many years and only in the past five years with new management has this building been mismanaged. You think Bed Bugs are the only issue, you'd be wrong. Cockroaches, Water Shut offs on a weekly basis, Elevator out every week, filthy carpeting and that's just the beginning...
Stay Away.
Anonymous on 11/20/2008
This building should be shut down. I used to live here in early 08 and had to move out within two months due to the entire building being infested. I reported this place to the Health Dept. and I\'m guessing by previous posts nothing has since been done to correct the problem.
I moved out- put everything in storage and lived with my gf a few months before settling in a new place. Tips to killing bed bugs...get a steamer and steam everywhere, they can not survive heat. And my advice to anyone
living here is get out! I lost sleep, lost my bed, and lost money. throw out your bed and mattress or else they will continue to come back. This building should be condemned.
tenant on 10/26/2008
There are bed bugs at this location among other pests. They were on the third floor which has since been sprayed, but who knows where else they are. There are alot of very dirty people that live in this building so trying to get rid of the problem is not very easy. This building is infested with cockroaches, and now bedbugs.
This property should be ashamed of themselves and the building should be torn down.
Anonymous on 08/19/2008
Bed bugs are in this building. I heard a couple months ago they were discovered on the 2nd floor. I found the information out from a tenant and had not been informed then or now any other way of their infestation. I heard they sprayed the 2nd floor only a couple months ago.
I've since learned that education and early detection is key. They will move from a treated area to an untreated area, so a five floor building like this is difficult to rid them,(especially if you only treat one
floor). Vacuuming daily and plastic encasing for bed & box spring is a good first step. They have moved beyond the 2nd floor. I've discovered them and am letting my building manager and property management company aware of the continued occupancy of these parasites. I'm only posting because silence is only making the problem worse and perpetuating the spread.

Cherry Hills Village, recently named the second-richest city in the U.S., has long attracted the well-heeled looking for their slice of Colorado's natural splendor while still enjoying quick access to downtown Denver, 10 miles to the north.
Once an enclave of weekend cottages for city dwellers and a few large country estates, the village is now the setting for 10,000-square-foot mansions, set among a gently rolling landscape of cottonwoods, horse paddocks and hiking trails, against a dramatic backdrop of Front Range mountain peaks.
The privacy provided by spacious parcels of land have helped attract the rich as well as the famous, as have its highly regarded schools, PGA-tournament-worthy golf, and the quick commute on I-25 into Denver.
"Cherry Hills has an interesting balance because while it is 10 or 15 minutes from the theater and hundreds of restaurants, you can have a creek in your backyard and feel like you're in the country," said Josh Behr, of LIV Sotheby's International Realty.
More: Take a Video Tour of a Six-Bedroom Aspen Getaway with Year-Round Views
Located adjacent to Denver, in Arapahoe County, Cherry Hills Village encompasses 6.5 square miles bordered by Hampden Avenue on the north, Belleview Avenue on the south, a combination of Dahlia, Happy Canyon Road and South Monaco on the east, and Clarkson Street to the west. Incorporated in 1945, the village of around 6,000 residents has its own police and fire departments.
Price range
A 2,500-square-foot ranch home built in the 1960s or '70s in need of updating can be had for about $1.5 million, Mr. Behr said. "There certainly are properties that are a little less than that, but very few and far between, and they are usually compromised by an issue with the location or something else," he said.
On the upper end, homes sell in the $5 million to $7 million range, with some priced considerably higher. The most expensive on the market is a newly built $18 million, 20,000-square-foot Transitional French mansion on five acres, scheduled for completion later this spring. The four-bedroom, 11-bathroom home will feature unobstructed views of Pike's Peak and the rest of the Front Range. Also up there in price is a $15.9 million, 23,000-square-foot Santa Barbara-style ranch on nine acres. In addition to six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms (six full), this home has a 10-car garage and car wash.
Housing stock
Those early weekend cottages gave way to a wave of housing developments beginning in the 1960s, and the current housing stock reflects the styles and trends of the last half century, with home styles ranging from simple ranch to brick colonials to English manor-style.
In Cherry Hills, it's the setting that really counts. Entry-level homes tend to be on lots of a half-acre or less, while the grander estates sit on 2.5- to 5-acre parcels, and larger.

Homes are situated in a variety of locations, some on a golf course, or an equestrian trail, some in a gated community such as Cherry Hills Park, known for its 15,000- to 25,000-square-foot mansions.
"There are different parts of Cherry Hills," said Jeff Hendley, of LIV Sotheby's International Realty. "Those who really know the area, they're going to choose location nine times out of 10 over the aesthetics of the house because the land is just so cherished.''This six-bedroom, custom home sitting in the gated community of Cherry Hills Park is currently asking for $6.35 million.
What makes it unique
The most distinguishing aspect of Cherry Hills is its pastoral aesthetic, owing partly to the fact that there is no high-density development of any sort—residential or commercial—in town.
The community relishes this country feel, and the fact that it does not come at the price of accessibility.
"This is the closest you get to town where you can have that real suburban experience," said Luisa Staerkel of Kentwood Real Estate. Downtown Denver can be reached in 25 to 30 minutes, she said, while the region's premier shopping district in Cherry Creek can be reached in half that time. The Denver Tech Center business hub in neighboring Greenwood Village is a 5- to 10-minute drive.
"That suburban, relaxed lifestyle, the schools and the proximity and all that, it's just a really great place to be," Mr. Hendley said. "You'll see people outside walking and biking every day. That's just the kind of lifestyle it is,"

Luxury amenities
Central to the Colorado experience is the outdoor lifestyle, which is also key to the Cherry Hills identity. The 71-mile High Line Canal waterway runs through Cherry Hills and is a popular draw. "It's great for biking and walking and for seeing wildlife," Ms. Staerkel said. "It's a cool area."
Recreational facilities include golf at the Cherry Hills Country Club, which has hosted three U.S. Open tournaments, and Glenmoor Country Club, as well as tennis, equestrian and swimming facilities.
Ms. Staerkel, noting Cherry Hills' founding premise to remain as purely residential as can be, said everyday conveniences nonetheless "surround the village…everybody's got their favorite haunts."
Former Denver Broncos coach and Cherry Hills resident Mike Shanahan's eponymous steakhouse is nearby at the Denver Tech Center, as is the high-end Venice Ristorante and Wine Bar.
More: NFL Fans' Real-Estate Scoreboard
There is "great" treasure hunting to be had at Dwell Antiques and Home and at Patina Antiques and Home in Greenwood Village, Mr. Hendley said. For movies, casual dining and everyday shopping, Mr. Behr singled out The Streets at SouthGlenn for its convenience to Cherry Hills.
But for some, Ms. Staerkel said, the greatest allure of Cherry Hills is its schools. The public schools are in the Cherry Creek School District, considered among the best in the state. The two private schools within Cherry Hills can each claim a former secretary of state as an alumna—Madeleine Albright attended the K-12 Kent Denver School, and Condoleezza Rice graduated from the all-girls high school St. Mary's Academy.This four-bedroom modern estate sits on 2.5 private and pastoral acres in Cherry Hills Village is asking for $7.95 million.
Who lives there
A study published by Bloomberg in March named Cherry Hills Village the second richest city in the country, with an average household income of $390,224, based on 2010 census data, so it's not surprising that the town is home to what Mr. Hendley calls a "who's who" of Denver celebrities and business leaders, including former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and Broncos CEO John Elway.
"You have Broncos players and Colorado Avalanche players who choose to call Cherry Hills their home," he said. "You have the C-level executives of publicly traded companies living here. You've got tech people moving in, and people in oil and gas.
"Running a company is obviously a high-stress job, so to be able to come home and kind of immerse yourself in this suburban village is highly desirable," he said.
More: Live Like Brady or Manning
If people want to spend $3 million to $7 million on a home, Cherry Hills is an obligatory spot, Mr. Behr said. It "has been and remains one of Denver's top neighborhoods."
An influx of new residents from out of state, attracted by Denver's strong economy and quality of life, is helping fuel a red-hot Denver housing market, including the luxury end, experts say.
"With the very low inventory that we have right now and the amount of people coming into the state and the number wanting to upgrade in terms of size and expense of homes, we're seeing that the trend is going to continue throughout 2018," said Mr. Hendley, who predicted growth of 8% to 10%. In "that $3- to $5-million price range, we're seeing quite a few buyers right now."

Keira Knightley backs embattled media tycoon
Alexander Lebedev hit billionaire property developer Sergei Polonsky during a talk show on a Moscow TV channel in 2011 and he has been banned from leaving Russia ahead of his upcoming trial on hooliganism charges.
He faces up to five years behind bars if convicted, but a slew of stars have spoken out in a bid to have Lebedev spared jail, according to the Mail on Sunday.
Knightley has written a character reference for Lebedev and warned his charity work will be derailed if he goes to prison.
She writes, "I respect Alexander's work in the U.K. and abroad."
Sir Elton adds, "I have known Alexander for 15 years. He is a decent, generous, kind and thoughtful person and a man of integrity."
Kevin Spacey, Hugh Grant and supermodel Natalia Vodianova have previously supported the campaign to keep Lebedev out of jail.
