* Euro, sterling look to extend overnight gains
* Yen hovers near 113 mark

By Vatsal Srivastava
SINGAPORE, Nov 23 (Reuters) - The euro and sterling steadied versus the dollar on Friday after Britain and the European Union agreed in principle to a text setting out their future relationship before a summit on Sunday.
Traders initially cheered the draft declaration agreed by the United Kingdom and the European Commission overnight which said that the "parties envisage having a trading relationship on goods that is as close as possible, with a view to facilitating the ease of legitimate trade."
The euro and sterling traded marginally higher on Friday, looking to extend their overnight gains of 0.2 percent and 0.8 percent respectively.
"A full read through of the text suggests a lot of important details need to be clarified. ...this document is not convincing the market that it will pass through parliament," said David de Garis, director economics and markets at NAB.
He added the market is still positioned with a short bias in the pound, so there is scope for a move of 5-10 percent if a breakthrough deal is achieved.
The dollar index, a gauge of its value versus six major peers, traded marginally weaker at 96.5. Much of the weakness is due to the strength in the euro and sterling, which together constitute 70 percent of the index.
The dollar has lost ground for two consecutive trading sessions and is drifting lower from a 16-month high of 97.69 hit earlier this month.
Dollar sceptics are also concerned about the pace of future interest rate increases by the U.S. central bank.
The Fed is expected to impose its fourth rate hike of 2018 in December, but investors wonder how many rate hikes the Fed can impose next year without risking a slowdown in the domestic economy, which has so far held up well even as borrowing costs have risen.
"The Fed is most likely to hike rates in December. I don't see a shift in forward guidance at next month's meeting as that would imply that a significant deteoriation in economic activity is already taking place," added De Garis.
The yen quoted at 112.96, relatively unchanged from its previous close. The Japanese currency has traded in an extremely narrow range over the last four trading sessions, although with a weak bias.
While the Fed is on a monetary tightening path, the Bank of Japan maintains its ultra loose monetary policy due to low growth and inflation. This interest rate differential between U.S. and Japanese bonds, makes the dollar a more attractive bet than the yen.
According to some analysts, another factor supporting the dollar/yen is that Japanese investors are not retreating from U.S. and foreign assets and remain close to fully invested.
The Australian dollar, often considered a gauge for global risk appetite traded relatively unchanged at $0.7251. Analysts expect the Aussie dollar to remain subdued as U.S.-Sino trade tensions are showing no signs of easing ahead of next weekends G-20 meeting, which would keep risk sentiment dampened.

inXile Entertainment talks about bringing Wasteland 2 to current gen consoles.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 06th, May. 2015 Under Article, Interviews
It's been a long journey for inXile Entertainment since it put Wasteland 2 up for crowd-funding all those years ago. No one really expected the enthusiasm that the Kickstarter would eventually receive, due in part to the old-school nature of the gameplay, but Wasteland 2 amassed over $2.9 million in funding when it was all said and done. Along with peers like Broken Age, Shadowrun Returns and Pillars of Eternity, it stands as a shining example of crowd-funded game development.
This year, inXile will be setting a new goal for Wasteland 2 as it not only brings the RPG to Xbox One and PS4 but completely remasters the game's visuals using Unity 5. GamingBolt spoke to project lead Chris Keenan and lead engineer Dan Jenkins about the game's release on Xbox One and PS4, the transition to Unity 5, other upcoming content and much more.
"Our decision to work on console versions of Wasteland doesn't affect Torment development. Prior to Wasteland's release, we had a team of dev's focusing on pre-production. Once we released, most of the team moved over under Kevin Saunders' leadership to work on implementation of the Torment design."
Rashid K. Sayed: Wasteland 2 has been a tremendous success for inXile, generating $1.5 million in the first four days. How does it feel to see such a great reception to an old-school style RPG?
Chris Keenan: It was both amazing and brings a great sense of relief. We knew from day one that our backers had very high expectations for the game. While this added a huge amount of pressure throughout development, it also kept us on our toes in a good way. It's very inspiring (and terrifying) when you have 70,000+ passionate people pushing you to deliver.
Rashid K. Sayed: With all the tactics, isometric perspective and up to seven different characters to direct, how will you go about translating that control scheme to consoles?
Chris Keenan: It's certainly not a simple port. We can't just check the "Xbox One" button in the Unity engine and ship it. We're evaluating each gameplay system on its own in relation to how it would operate with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse. This means that we're having to modify many of the underlying systems to support controller input. Most of the UI is being revamped to create a seamless transition.
Rashid K. Sayed: Wasteland 2 will be moving to Unity 5 in the coming months and this will add new graphical features like physically based shading. Can we expect to see these graphical improvements on the PS4 and Xbox One as well?
Chris Keenan: Yes. All versions of the GOTY edition will have the graphical and gameplay upgrades. We've been going back over each scene in the game and improving the assets as well. For example, the humanoid character models are being completely redone and are looking much better. Along with the PBR changes, we're refining the base models and materials in each level. Overall, it's looking really good!
Rashid K. Sayed: What other changes will be introduced to Wasteland 2 in the coming months and will they arrive earlier than or coincide with the console releases?
Chris Keenan: We'll have more info on that in the coming months.
Rashid K. Sayed: The PC market has been very enthusiastic towards Wasteland 2 but how do you feel it will translate to consoles, especially given the old-school nature of the game? Do you feel there's a strong enough audience for it?
Chris Keenan: I certainly hope so! We've had a huge outpouring of requests to bring the game to Xbox One and PS4 so hopefully that translates into a large demand for this type of game. We know how important it is to get the controls right and if we do that, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't translate beautifully to consoles. We look at games like Xcom: Enemy Unknown that have a top down camera and a focus on turn-based combat for inspiration. I felt like that played great on Xbox 360 and PC alike.
"We've been going back over each scene in the game and improving the assets as well. For example, the humanoid character models are being completely redone and are looking much better. Along with the PBR changes, we're refining the base models and materials in each level."
Rashid K. Sayed: How has inXile changed since its beginning especially to deal with development on current gen consoles?
Chris Keenan: InXile has had a long history prior to Wasteland 2. Brian Fargo has done an awesome job at the helm, navigating us through the downswings. I think now, we're absolutely loving the freedom and independence that crowdfunding has brought to the studio and being in a position to make games that our fans are asking for. We get to work directly with them on the type of RPGs that we like to make and play. Many of our developers have been here for years and have worked on just about every gaming platform imaginable.
Rashid K. Sayed: Will Wasteland 2 see any major content expansions like Shadowrun did with Dragonfall (and its Director's Cut)?
Chris Keenan: We don't have any content expansions planned for the immediate future, but who knows what comes next. InXile is still a fairly small studio (comparatively) so we try to only focus on a few things at a time. Moreover, Brian is very cautious against doing a hiring binge and piling manpower into projects, only to have to lay off those same people when the projects are over.
Rashid K. Sayed: With Wasteland 2 arriving on the PS4 and Xbox One, what will be the fate of projects like Torment: Tides of Numenara? Can we expect to see such games release on the same day for Xbox One and PS4 as PC or will the decision for console releases operate on a case-by-case basis?
Chris Keenan: Our decision to work on console versions of Wasteland doesn't affect Torment development. Prior to Wasteland's release, we had a team of dev's focusing on pre-production. Once we released, most of the team moved over under Kevin Saunders' leadership to work on implementation of the Torment design. As far as a console release of Torment, we don't have any plans for it. We have a duty to our backers to deliver exactly what they pledged for, which is a great Windows/Mac/Linux experience. Our primary focus is on getting the game right PC platforms, and no design considerations are made for consoles while we're working on our PC focused games.
Rashid K. Sayed: What are your thoughts on developing for the Xbox One and PS4 in terms of the hardware itself? What advantages and disadvantages does it present compared to developing on the PC?
Chris Keenan: So far, it's been great. I'm not sure we would be making a console version if we weren't using a game engine that eases the process for us. Advantages would be that we know exactly what the hardware is for all console players. We don't have to worry about compatibility problems or quality settings or bugs coming from various drivers not being updated. As for disadvantages, there tends to be more red tape on consoles. There are approval processes and technical requirements that you don't have to worry about on PC.
Rashid K. Sayed: What is your take on the differences between the two consoles? Which one did you found easier and more powerful to develop for?
Chris Keenan: I think it's a bit too early to say which one is easier to develop on. What I can say is that it feels like developing on the Xbox One and PS4 is much easier than on the previous generations. Part of it could be that the game was finished before we started, part could be that we're using Unity, which handles much of the individual system issues.
"Wasteland 2 Game of the Year Edition will arrive on consoles in late summer. We will give an exact date when we're a bit further along in development. One of the benefits of not having a publisher is we get to put the games out when we feel they're ready!"
Rashid K. Sayed: Is Wasteland 2 going to run at 1080p and 60 frames per second on both the PS4 and Xbox One?
Chris Keenan: We're a single-player, turn-based RPG, so our needs for performance are a bit different than other games, like multiplayer shooters. We are looking to strike the right balance in performance and looks for our style of game. We're currently running at 1080p and don't foresee any issues as development progresses.
Rashid K. Sayed: Did you face any issues while developing on the Xbox One? Specifically the eSRAM? It has been widely considered to be the reason behind the resolutiongate.
Chris Keenan: So far, we haven't had any issues with Xbox One development in regards to the eSRAM or anything else for that matter.
Rashid K. Sayed: What does Inxile's opinion on the DirectX 12? Do you think developers will widely adopt it on X1 and risk support fragmentation with PS4? I mean, there are 20 million PS4's out there so do you think developers will pursue DX and take a calculated decision to not release to that user base?
Dan Jenkins: We rely on the game engines we're using, like Unity, to take advantage of these features for us when we publish on different platforms. We don't operate at a low enough level in the engine code to worry about specific API calls like this.
Rashid K. Sayed: When exactly can we expect to see the release of Wasteland 2 on Xbox One and PS4?
Chris Keenan: Wasteland 2 Game of the Year Edition will arrive on consoles in late summer. We will give an exact date when we're a bit further along in development. One of the benefits of not having a publisher is we get to put the games out when we feel they're ready!
Rashid K. Sayed: Is there anything else you want to tell us before we let you go?
Chris Keenan: If you're a fan of what we're doing with Wasteland 2 or Torment: Tides of Numenera, keep an eye out for our crowdfunding campaign for The Bard's Tale 4 in the near future!

Though director Zack Snyder has yet to see Justice League himself, his son Jett has and he posted his thoughts on Vero. According to his post, he liked the film, though he had a few gripes with Warner Bros.
"On a more serious note I did enjoy the movie, although it is clearly not what it could have been due to the meddling of Warner Brothers and the forced comedy," he wrote. Here, Snyder is likely referring to Joss Whedon taking over as director after his father stepped away from the film to due to a family tragedy; among the other reshoots, Whedon punched up the script to add in more comedic moments, which can primarily be seen in the Flash scenes.
RELATED: Zack Snyder Hasn't Seen Justice League
"The run time was my biggest gripe with the movie, with events that should take a long time over in a flash;$ [sic] but still definitely a fun movie to watch, and would recommend it," he added.
The inclusion of Whedon did not go over well for Zack Snyder fans in particular, who have since created a petition demanding WB release Snyder's cut of the film. Said petition has recently crossed 100,000 signatures, though WB has yet to respond. Reports have surfaced regarding multiple deleted scenes.
Justice League has only been out for a week, but its box office may force Warner Bros. to write the film off as a loss. The film has earned mixed reviews, sitting at 41% on RottenTomatoes at the time of writing.
Now in theaters, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Ciaran Hinds, and Diane Lane.

2017 The Everest Horse Race: Odds and Betting Preview
The horse racing calendar is full of great renewals and right across the world, we're looking forward to some stellar events. Along with all of our old favourites such as the Melbourne Cup and the Boxing Day meetings in the UK, we have a new race to look forward to.
Not only that but the Everest is going to be the richest horse race in Australia with a total purse up for grabs at $10m dollars AUD. It's an exciting development for racing in the country and for the sport as a whole so let's take a look at the race and consider the runners and riders.
Event Details
The first ever running of the Everest goes off this Saturday, October 14 and it will be held at the Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, NSW. It is a flat race for thoroughbreds based on a weight for age system and from this point will form part of the prestigious Sydney Spring Carnival.
The event is held over 1200 metres but entry is limited and is also at a premium. 12 horses will enter, having paid an entry fee of $600,000 for the privilege of taking part. Those are the basics so who's in the frame for 2017?
Tight at the Top
Early prices show a very tight market with She Will Reign the current favourite at a best price of 4/1 with both bet365 and 10Bet. The draw has placed this horse in barrier 2, which has been seen as a disadvantage but trainer Gary Portelli describes his charge as 'sharp and ready' and in shape to overcome a relatively minor hindrance.
Close behind the market leader is Vega Magic who is quoted at a top price of 5/1 with Sun Bets and Stan James. One point in this horse's favour is victory in the Caulfield Cup at the start of September which completed a tally of five wins in seven outings on the flat.
Vega Magic is getting a lot of interest from the tipsters and clearly the market is not completely sure where this one will go. Completing a trio of horses with very similar prices is Chautauqua who is currently at a best of 6/1 with SkyBet. A veteran at 7 years old, this horse has won nearly 50% of its 25 races and has the experience if not the perfect record to back up those odds.
Chasing Pack
Things don't really start to thin out beyond the top three with Redzel coming in at a best of 13/2 with bet365 and 10Bet. This horse has four straight wins coming into this race and has a good record at Randwick but this may be seen as a step up.
Finally we now have a gap from the leading four horses and at a best of 10/1 with Stan James and 10Bet we have English, a Gai Waterhouse horse who has a good pedigree despite not being blessed with huge experience. English is a proven Group 1 winner at this important Weight for Age level and at that price of 10/1 she looks a good option for an each way punt at the very least.
Other mid price horses from the chasing pack include Clearly Innocent at 14/1 with SkyBet and 10Bet plus Deploy at a shorter best of 10/1 with Sun Bets. In a new race, we can't really rule out any of those completely.
Picking a Winner
The fact that we have four horses within 2.5 points of each other at the top of the markets suggests that this is going to be very tough to call. Those figures may thin out in the days that follow but there won't be much movement leading up to the off.
A new race means that we are moving into unknown territory to an extent so we don't have any trends or indicators to help. However, form is a constant in any horse race and having tasted victory on the big stage at the Caulfield Cup, Vega Magic looks particularly good at that 5/1 price with Stan James and Sun Bets.
In fact, it would be no surprise to see that figure shorten slightly and leave us with at least two joint favourites when the Everest take place. Current market leader She Will Reign looks a worthy favourite right now but are those involved playing down her unfavourable draw?
It's so tough to call but it's certainly exciting having a new event on the calendar, particularly when it's one of this magnitude. It's one to savour and hopefully we might increase our enjoyment with one or two wins from the following tips.
Best Bets:
- Vega Magic to win at 5/1 with Sun Bets
- English Each Way at 10/1 with Stan James

There was a point in the Spring when I decided to stop creating things (as if that would help me). As if placing my hands over the flow of creativity was the way to feel better or simply happier.
I quickly felt even more depleted. Not to sound too dramatic, but certainly: dead inside.
It took me about a month to remember this was my choice, my desire, to not go with the flow. And I decided at that moment (and, I'll admit, again for the millionth-exhausting-time) to change course. Instead of saying NO, I would simply say YES. I would do whatever Creativity asked me to do: write, photograph, cook, create, construct, play, explore.
No questions asked. No explanations needed.
I would just DO.
This devotion to Her required a little unplugging and pulling back. It also required a lot of trust. It is a holy choice to team up with Her. To not worry about what everything looks like on the outside and instead just focus on how it feels on the inside.
I was having lunch with my son, talking about a place where Creativity led me (baking artisan bread, no less) and he said, "Your brand is all over the place. How can people understand what you do?"
And without thinking I replied, "Everything I do is nourishing on some level. For me. For us. For others." And that's as good a definition of Creativity that I can muster up. Creativity is nourishing at the soul level.
Whenever I have a conversation about Creativity there is always someone who adamantly claims to not know Her at all. They usually throw their hands up in the air as they say, "I'm not creative in the least." Often, they appear either proud or embarrassed.
It's silly to deny Creativity.
She lives in the both sides of the brain. So whether you identify as right brain or left brain, She's there. Sometimes she works with Logic. Sometimes she works with Art. Sometimes she works with Both.
She's not one to hide, although (for some) She is difficult to recognize. I think that's because society labels Her as Artsy, but (like all labels) that's wrong. Creativity is just as present in the single mother who figures out how to feed a family as She is in the artist who paints Angel Fish. She guides the CEO to build a profitable company as much as She guides the photographer to capture the perfect shot.
How? She is Life Force, by another name. That's all.
Our language has and continues to limit and separate us in ways we don't even realize. I wonder what would happen, could happen, if everyone just accepted their relationship with Creativity was what it is: purely individual, purely sacred, purely Divine.
Where would that lead you? What would you do?

Reducing Water Waste
- Categories: Ravinia Plumbing
- Date: June 27, 2018
Americans on average use 80-100 gallons of water a day. That's 127% more than we used in 1950, and compares to some countries where people exist on three gallons a day or less (that's about one flush – see below). Also, about 95% of the water entering our house goes down the drain. That wastes water – and adds unnecessarily to your water bill.
So here is some information on how much water is needed for various functions, and how you might be able to conserve.
Flushing the toilet
The greatest use of water. The average flush uses three gallons. Multiply that by five flushes per day, and that's 15 gallons. Some older toilets use more; newer ones use only 1.28 gallons or less.
Look for toilets with a WaterSense label, which meet Federal requirements of 1.6 gallons/flush. Other toilets use 1.28 gallons. And some WaterSense toilets can flush liquid waste at less than one gallon/flush.
A "full tub" uses about 36 gallons of water.
Take a shower (see below).
Old shower head use 5 gallons/minute, but newer low-flow heads use 2 gallons/minute (18 minutes using one of these is equivalent to a typical bath).
Use a newer showerhead, and keep the shower short.
Washing face/hands
1 gallon.
Turn off the faucet before drying your hands and face. Install a faucet-head aerator to reduce the water flow rate.
1 gallon.
Turn off the faucet while shaving.
Brushing teeth
4 gallons.
Turn off the faucet while brushing.
6-16 gallons. Newer EnergyStar models use 6 gallons or less.
Buy an EnergyStar model, which will save both water and electricity. And only run the dishwasher when it is full.
Dish washing by hand
8-27 gallons. Newer kitchen faucets use 1.5-2 gallons/minute.
Install a faucet-head aerator. Scrape the food off before turning on the water. Soak the dishes before washing.
Clothes washer
40 gallons/load for old models; 25 gallons/load for new EnergyStar models.
Buy an EnergyStar model, which will save both water and electricity. And only run the machine with a full load.
Drinking water
8 oz. per small glass.
If you pour it drink it.
Outdoor watering
2 gallons/minute.
Water smartly. Experts say more than 50% of landscape water is wasted due to evaporation or runoff caused by over-watering.
One last, important water-saving tip. Leaky faucets that drip at the rate of one drop per second can waste up to 2,700 gallons of water each year. So check for drips, and fix them if you find them.

Jeffrey Hunt, Jeff Cadiente and Michelle Borth all shared some pictures from filming episode 4.21
They have just finished it today. About eight more days of filming and they are on hiatus. It's early this year due to the short season.
So sad to hear Catherine will not be in season five, so disappointed I will no longer watch the show. I feel they do not care about the fans of Catherine at all.

Recently I was looking at a post from a year ago, and I started laughing at how much it sounded exactly like our life now.
Maia checking out all the baby stuff? Check!
It's pretty funny how quickly she'll jump on something if she thinks it's for the baby. Her favorite spot is still the changing table, although she'll take just about anything she can get. And that car seat she wouldn't test out before? Officially taken over. We had a baby gate delivered the other day and before it was even out of the box, she was jumping all over it, claiming it as hers. As I'm typing this, she jumped in the pack n play and settled down for a nap.
Fire alarms going off randomly? Check!
It's not been as big of a problem, but we have had some random chirps lately that have been causing us headaches. How I wish this problem was behind us! Although I am very glad we've had a year of quiet. Maybe it's time to clean them out again!
Nothing gets done during the week, and weekends are for resting and catching up? CHECK
Most weekends we haven't even managed to get to church! We're lucky if we leave the house lately haha. But it's been what we needed - some calm and time at home to just be a family. Things will get done later. (Right? RIGHT??)
It's actually kind of comforting to see how little our life has changed. You worry about what adding a baby will do, but E has fit into our lives perfectly. We're still a little bit anti social homebodies, who now hang out with a baby at home. We still keep ourselves busy with little projects around the house, constantly improving and personalizing everything around us. Maia is still here, acting like she owns the place.
Yes, we're parents. And yes, things have changed. But we're still us. And that's nice to know.

Greetings Kin,
Serpent/CHICCHAN "lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself." The Seed/KAN trecena is guiding us to see ourselves as we would choose to be. "I Am" are the words God spoke when Moses asked who He/She was. Through a Spark of the Divine, we were given the power to be whatever we Say we Are.
2 Serpent/CHICCHAN asks us to consider our highest Spiritual Aspirations. Tone 2 is about making choices and looking at things from two sides. As we dream of our own "I Am" we might remember to see things from the perspective of our whole body and soul.
2 Serpent/CHICCHAN (Cherokee, Serpent/DO'TSI)
Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question 'to be or not to be?" Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Serpent/CHICCHAN: Movement and the creation of time. Sensual and dramatic, this sun sign embodies intense instinctual wisdom and creates a connection from Earth bound, to Heavenly aspirations. By sincere service to others, Serpent opens and expands its heart. Serpent aligns authority and the truth to bring justice that is quick and sure. Serpents are very adaptable, even fluid until trapped in a corner, and then they explode. Serpents, venomous temper poisons itself as well as others by creating resentful, suppressive and even destructive attitudes.
Cherokee, Serpent/DO'TSI: Serpent's symbol is Constellation Serpens. Serpent people are Sky people who come to earth periodically as Educators. As above-So below, on Earth the Serpent is the roots of the tree of knowledge. Serpent power is vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action. It lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet.
Journey of Dynamic Consciousness: Day 2
We're approaching the Mayan New Year as it is celebrated by the Quiche/MAYA (8 Monkey/CHUEN) We are approaching a new ending/beginning of a 260-day cycle. Like any new year, it's natural to look forward and backward in time, and to consider personal goals. We are setting the Sacred Intentions we carry with us into the Holy of Holies as we are initiated into a new year.
The world reflects that dynamic changes are happening all around us. This is evidence of the dramatic transformation we are also capable of now. We exist between the known and the unknown. We can call to ourselves those Spiritual Gifts that we would dream of making our own.
To all my relations, may we consider our body as a consciousness that is given its own life force. May we call upon a response from our whole-selves as we choose the dreams we carry forward.
in lak'ech, i am another you
Jaguar Woman, 9 Eagle/MEN
Minisa Crumbo Halsey offers a message for the trecena of Seed/KAN from the sacred Medicine Wheel tradition.
Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide for Cherokee Sacred Calendar information and practical suggestions and traditional prayers and ceremony.
How is your Spiritual path today?
I love to hear from you. Share your thoughts on the day, your Day Sign, or just say Hi!

Hartlepool United Ladies return to action on Sunday when they make the trip to face Ryton and Crawcrook Albion Tynedale Ladies at Kingsley Park (2pm kick-off).
It marks the end of a frustrating spell without a game for Andy Stuart's side, who thrashed York City 5-2 last time out to clinch their first victory since being promoted to the Premier Division of the North East Regional Women's Football League.
However, that was at the beginning of November and they've been without a league game since then so will be chomping at the bit when they travel to Northumberland this weekend.
Pools will have their work cut out against a Tynedale outfit who have won four of their seven games in the Premier Division so far this season.
Stuart's Ladies are in seventh spot, three places and eight points behind their hosts but they do have three games in hand and they'll be hoping Sunday can be the first step towards closing the gap.
The Ladies were given a timely boost ahead of the game when they were named Sports Team of the Year at the Best of Hartlepool Awards on Tuesday evening.
We'll have a report and reaction from the game here on the Official Website on Monday.

That's an strange concept, I think to myself. (page 66 of paperback edition)It is possible that the author initially typed an instead of a, and no editor caught it.
But maybe an was correct in the sentence's original form. Perhaps instead of strange, the author first described the concept as odd or unusual, in which case an would be appropriate. Then in a revision the author or editor changed the adjective to strange but neglected to change the article to a. That seems more likely to me.
Needless to say, Evelyn Wood's acolytes would not pause to ponder such editorial mysteries.

If we were all like this dog, cat and rat, there would be no war, the world would be one gigantic hug.
It might get a bit sexy at times as well.
Valentine's Suggestion –
If you haven't got your partner anything this year because you forgot/can't be bothered, why not send them a link to this blog as a present?

It's property tax season – don't forget that your Vancouver property taxes are due to be paid by FEBRUARY 02, 2017. In Vancouver, we pay our property taxes in two installments – once in February, and again in July. There's been a lot of talk recently about increased assessments and the property tax grant threshold so I thought I would write a quick blog to break it down for you.
I'm going to focus on a few topics to hopefully provide some clarity to you on how property taxes are calculated in Vancouver, property assessments, payment options, and the grant that may or may not be available to you.
How are my property taxes calculated?
In Vancouver property taxes are calculated using the mill rate – follow this link for a detailed breakdown of the rates in Vancouver. Basically, the amount you pay is tied to the assessed value of your home. You pay a specific rate for every $1,000 in assessed value of your property.
How is the value of my property determined?
We've heard a lot of noise in the media recently about assessed property values that have risen drastically over the last year. Residential property values are reviewed and recalculated yearly by BC Assessment. Check out the video below to see how BC Assessment calculates the value of properties.
Much of the ongoing debate about this year's assessment values has been around the timing of the assessments – properties are evaluated as of July 01 of the previous year. So, the assessments that were recently sent out to BC homeowners calculated the value of their property as of July 01, 2016. There have been a few significant developments in the BC real estate market since July 01, which is why many people feel their properties are over-valued. The developments include the introduction of the 15% foreign buyers tax, strengthened mortgage lending rules, and a slow down in property sales volume. These developments have lead to a reduction in value for some properties so many people feel their assessed property value is too high. If you're interested in the current market value of your property then get in touch with me and I will provide you with a detailed analysis.
Don't fear, an increase in your assessed property value doesn't necessarily mean that you will see an increase in the amount of property taxes that you pay this year. The City of Vancouver uses an averaging system that helps home owners that have been affected by high assessment increases. Detailed information on this system can be found here.
What are my payment options and am I eligible for any grants?
The City of Vancouver has a few options when it comes to paying your property taxes. First, check to see if you are eligible to receive the grant! You need to claim the grant every year so don't forget, but they can be claimed retroactively. I'm going to focus on the basic grant because it's the most common, but there are additional grants available for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. Find more information on the additional grants here.
To be eligible for the basic home owner grant, you must meet the criteria:
- Be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant.
- Ordinarily reside in British Columbia.
- Be a registered owner or eligible occupant of your home.
- Have the home be your principal residence (where you live and conduct your daily activities).
The property tax grant threshold has just been raised by the BC Government. The 2016 eligibility level was $1,200,000 of assessed value, and the 2017 level is $1,600,000. If your property has an assessed or partitioned value of $1,600,000 or less, the home owner grant may reduce your taxes up to $570 or, if it's located in a northern and rural area, up to $770.
There is also an option to defer the payment of your taxes if you're eligible. The deferral option is available to families with children, people that are 55+, surviving spouses, and people with disabilities. More information on the deferral program is available here.

Every Year Club Members take it in turns to organise a "Treasure Hunt". These are great fun weekends where members and friends of the club have a wonderful drive through the countryside, enjoy the sights, and solve cunning clues devised by the organisers. In 2013 Chris and Diane organised "The Trail of The Pendle Witches", around Lancashire which was greatly enjoyed by everyone.
In 2015 we all thoroughly enjoyed Chris and Diane's "The Old 3 Counties Run" which toured the "new" county of Cumbria which was previously, Lancashire, Cumberland, and Westmorland. On this run we were delighted to be generously sponsored by Bendles Solicitors Of Carlisle and Kentdale Landrovers Of Kendal
2017 saw us in the North Yorks Moors National Park. The overnight was in the village of Rosedale Abbey. The Saturday treasure hunt route, of approximately 58 miles, took in highlights such as: Danby Beacon, Grosmont, Beck Hole and Goathland. The Sunday route included a visit to the National Centre for Birds of Prey in Helmsley and ended up at the Buck Inn in Chop Gate.
Then in 2018, we journeyed to Cumbria and Lancashire for our sixth treasure hunt weekend. It was the third time Chris and Diane had organised the weekend event, and every time they raise the bar. The Saturday route followed the route of the Carlisle to Settle Railway, stopping at stations on the line for cunning clues, and crossing the line an impressive 25 times!
This year, David and Christine are taking us to the Yorkshire Dales for a weekend of cryptic clues and country roads.

Crude oil production is expected to come down to 8.7 million bbl/day in 2016, down from an average of 9.4 million bbl/day last year. The US produced an estimated 9.1 million bbl/day in January. The EIA also noted that power generated from natural gas will exceed coal this year for the first time in US history.

Once upon a time..
Granny, please stop this. I have been hearing this rubbish for the last eighty-four years before going to sleep.
Why don't you tell me a fairy tale about the ant that went to gym to fall in love with the conveyor's butterfly; honeymoon in Vienna.
Or about the snake that panicked as the Mark seized her juniors before striking a deal to cure his wife if he returned her little ones; Mark's wife is no longer blind now. little ones went to Walt Disney on the week end.
Or about the mermaid that I always wanted to be like; free and single wandering between oceans, laying on the beach of Osaka watching the stars. I am dying Granny, no one can hear my sorrows, including yourself…
Granny, Granny, Good night.

Listen to this article
Ryu Sung-yul, a 28-year-old computer programmer in Seoul, recently replaced his old mobile phone with a pricey LG model that can receive digital TV signals.
He says the new $700 handset has improved his life, enabling him to watch news and other entertainment on his one-hour bus journey to the office.
"Watching TV on the small screen is not so bad. It works well with clear picture quality. I can even read news scripts on the screen," he says.
South Korea's biggest mobile operator SK Telecom is hoping this new service, which is called S-DMB (satellite digital media broadcasting) and was launched in May, will drive revenue growth and offset declining voice traffic.
South Korean telecoms operators have struggled to develop new revenue sources in a near-saturated market. Now, they are ramping up investment in 3G networks and content development, betting that wireless data services will become their next cash cow.
"There is a limit in voice-traffic growth but there is still growth potential in the wireless-data business, which will become our core business," says Song Hyun-jong, vice-president at SKT. "Digital convergence will create new demand for our data services."
SKT plans to spend about Won600bn ($591m), or 38 per cent of its 2005 capital expenditure, on building 3G networks, which enable consumers to quickly download online games, music and movies to mobile phones.
It is also buying content providers to broaden the range of services. Increasing sales of wireless data services such as music-on-demand or video phonecalls have boosted Korean telecoms operators' bottom lines this year.
SKT, which controls half of the country's $17bn mobile market, reported a 56 per cent jump in second-quarter profit, while net income at its smaller rival KTF more than trebled and LG Telecom swung to a net profit from a loss.
Wireless data services contribute 25 per cent of SKT's total revenue. Its digital music service, Melon, which allows customers to download songs to a mobile phone, PC or MP3 player, has attracted 500,000 subscribers since its launch in November. KT, the country's largest fixed-line carrier and broadband operator, is also striving to diversify amid increasing competition in land-lines business and stalled growth in the broadband market.
The company, which recently cut its operating profit target for this year by 14 per cent, is pinning hopes for growth on new technology dubbed WiBro (wireless broadband), which will be commercialised next year. Wibro, similar to Intel's WiMax, will allow users to maintain a high-speed internet connection on mobile devices even as users travel at speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour.
Along with KT, SKT and Hanaro Telecom have been awarded the licence to offer the service, although the latter has decided not to roll it out because of the estimated $1bn cost of building the infrastructure and networks. In spite of the ambitious projects, analysts say it will take a long time for the new investments to generate proper returnsif operators, particularly in 3G, fail to come up with compelling services to entice subscribers.
"The initial returns are low but they have high hopes for long-term profits. And they have no other choice because of stalled growth in the existing market," says Chang Sung-min, an analyst at Samsung Securities. "But they need to adjust their investments according to consumer demand."
He warns that the new technologies face many obstacles before they can become mainstream services.
SKT has attracted about 100,000 subscribers to the S-DMB service. But mobile phone TV is likely to remain a niche market for some time because of the high price and limited line-up of DMB phones and an unwillingness among public broadcasters to beam programming to handsets.
Analysts also question how strong consumer demand will be for wireless broadband in a country that has a high penetration of fixed-line broadband. South Korea is the world's most wired nation, with more than 70 per cent of households logged onto the internet via broadband connections.
But SKT officials remain confident about the future. "If three out of 10 services become successful, we can get enough returns to cover our investments," says Mr Song.

James Keeney entered the six foot by nine foot, white-walled room wearing the traditional khaki attire. His lanky frame didn't fill out his state-issued shirt, and the extra fabric of his pants gathered around his ankles. I waited near a rectangular, wood table with four chairs, two on each side. Keeney's crooked smile revealed the yellowed teeth of a long-time smoker. The door made a noticeable click when it shut behind him. That was always unnerving. Being locked inside the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, NE, even if it's as a visitor, has never been on my bucket list. I could see the back of the officer's head through the small window in the door as he moved away. Keeney pulled out one of the chairs, his back to the door, and sat. I took the seat opposite his, opened a small notebook, and waited for him to start talking. It was Wednesday morning, and to be honest, I wasn't in the mood to talk with Keeney, but I felt sorry for him.
"Thanks for meetin' me. I didn't think ya would." His Southern drawl was more pronounced than I remembered.
"What's this about, Keeney?"
He took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, propping his left arm on the back of it, and smoothed his goatee. His hair had whitened since I last saw him. He leaned forward, resting his right hand on top of the table.
"Seriously, Keeney, I don't have all day."
"They wanna string me up for a murder."

French Women Don't Get Fat
French Women Don't Get Fat
by Mireille Guiliano
I actually read this book a while back and after falling off the eating wagon a bit, I reread it again recently. Oddly enough I gleaned a lot more from this book the second time around, possibly because I was able to overlook the author's slightly condescending nature this time. I also managed to avoid her 3 page list on what French women are and what American women are lacking because honestly? I don't need her to tell me that when my brother would be happy to tell me what I'm lacking any day of the week.
The author is Mireille Guliano, President and CEO of the champagne company Cliquot Inc. She is not a doctor or a nutritionist, but rather, a person who learned through her own experiences how different Americans and French view food. After a stint in America as an exchange student, she returned home to France needing to rethink her newly acquired eating habits. With the help of a doctor – who she refers to throughout the book as Dr. Miracle – the author is able to return to her normal size and kick all her bad habits to the curve.
She talks about:
- French women eat at regular mealtimes, never standing up, never in the car, never in front of the TV or with a book. They sit with proper utensils and a place setting.
- French women eat real foods in moderation. This means butter instead of margarine, full fat milk instead of skim, sugar instead of Splenda. They eat smaller amounts but more variety.
- They eat what is in season to ensure maximum flavor. i.e. just because Trader Joe's carries strawberries in February doesn't mean they will be flavorful.
- They don't feel guilty about food the way Americans do because they believe in indulging on occasion but cutting back slightly the next day to make up for it.
- They drink water and walk all day long.
- No gyms, no 30 Day Shred DVD's, no spin classes.
- French women eat chocolate and drink wine.
Obviously a lot of what the author talks about is common sense. We shouldn't be eating chemically altered food. We should be cooking more at home. We should be drinking more water and walking more.
What I learned:
- Our meals should be filling enough that we can go a few hours without a snack. I used to eat just a small breakfast and be starving for a snack an hour later. Now, I eat something filling enough to get me to lunch.
- We shouldn't be exercising so we can eat more. This was a tough one for me as I would be in the gym at 5 am every day running like a crazy person so that I justified eating an extra cookie or 5.
- Her ideas about recasting did wonders for my sugar habit! While I didn't make her famous (infamous?) leek soup, I did go 2 weeks with no sugar and suddenly I just don't crave it anymore. I was "recast" I guess. Whereas I used to need a ton of brownies to feel satisfied, now I just need a bite or two and I'm done. I can't remember the last time I had a brownie!
- This book contains lots of recipes and while I've only made a few of the easier ones, I was inspired to start making a lot of my own food. Now I actually prefer to do so because I can control the portion size, the oil, the salt, and the sugar content. She also introduced a lot of foods I hadn't really thought of trying before and I now regularly consume.
- This book isn't just about what to eat or not eat, it is also about how to savor life by eating with friends instead of in front of the TV. How to enjoy food, especially good quality. She discusses eating 3 course dinners (small portions of course) unhurriedly. This is something I was never able to do and I feel like I am slowly getting better at this.
What I Didn't Like
- As I mentioned before, the author has a tendency to sound smug. I love France just as much, if not more, than the next person but I don't think the French are better in every regard. Besides, I often wondered why she settled in New York if she believes France is THAT much better.
- As a vegetarian I found it a bit difficult to utilize a lot of her recipes/menus. It is much easier to eat meat and feel full but feeling full with vegetables can be challenging.
- As far as I know she has no children and apparently her husband isn't picky which makes eating the French way about 100 times easier for her. Maya is fairly adventurous and will try most anything, but what child will eat Red Mullet with Spinach en Papillote without putting up a fight?
- The author obviously has money. Can most people really afford to buy a $15 piece of wild salmon for dinner? Especially not these days, in this economy.
- I disagree that the gym or some type of formal exercise is not necessary. Yes I agree that we shouldn't be spending an extra 10 minutes on the stationary bike so we can eat a vat of fries, but in my opinion a regular person needs to be active for at least 45 minutes a day for their overall health and mental well-being, not specifically just for weight maintenance/loss.
This book is a quick, easy read, and is interesting – even if you aren't trying to lose weight. The breezy nature of the book, the anecdotes of the author's childhood, and the delicious sounding recipes make me recommend this book. It has that same old world charm that I associate with being in Paris and I am totally sold the things she emphasizes – luxury, quality, variety, freshness, and balance. And last but not least, anyone who can recommend dark chocolate as part of a healthy diet must be on to something.

UPDATE: A suspect authorities believe was involved in a robbery of an Everett bank is in custody, and another is still at-large Friday night, the Everett Police Department said.
The robbery that touched off a multi-agency pursuit Friday afternoon occurred about 4:40 p.m. at the 1st Security Bank on the 11100 block of Evergreen Way.
According to witness statements, two men fled in a red Plymouth Voyager van. The van was seen by a Snohomish County Sheriff's Deputy, who began a pursuit.
The suspects were pursued by several agencies, before coming to a stop in the Wallingford area of Seattle, and fleeing on foot. One man was arrested, and the other was the subject of a manhunt, and has not been located.
UPDATE: The Seattle Police Department is assisting the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office and Everett Police Department as they search for a suspect in a bank robbery that occurred in Everett earlier today.
According to Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson, one suspect is in custody, and officers are searching a neighborhood in Wallingford – where the suspects' vehicle came to a stop – for the other. Both men got out of the car and fled on foot, Jamieson said.
More details to come.
A bank robbery in Everett Friday afternoon led to a multi-agency pursuit of the suspects that led officers to Seattle.
Details of the crime remain vague, but Rebecca Hover, spokeswoman for the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, said deputies spotted the suspects' vehicle about 4:45 p.m. near the intersection of Highways 525 and 99 in Mukilteo.
Officers pursued the suspects onto southbound Interstate 5, and were joined by other agencies, including the Washington State Patrol, Hover said.
The suspects headed into Seattle, where they exited the freeway. Hover said she believed one suspect is in custody and the other fled on foot. She was uncertain where the incident was unfolding in the city.
Mark Jamieson, a Seattle Police spokesman, said he did not have any details about the incident. Everett police officials have not returned calls.

What kind of tape is used to join batting pieces? Will the tape hold or do I need to also sew the pieces together?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What kind of tape is used to join batting pieces? Will the tape hold or do I need to also sew the pieces together?
don't know about others - but i always overlap about 3/8" and run a zig-zag stitch over it.
I don't overlap because i don't want a bump - I will butt the edges together and zig zag. I generally don't use heat adhesives....just personal preference and often times i can sew them faster than using the iron.
my name is becca and i'm a quilt-a-holic :-)
I use a tricot fusible interfacing that I have left over from garment making. Cut a 1" or 1 1/2" strip, butt the edges together and iron it on. Much cheaper than the "Batting Tape". About $3-$4 yard at Joanns.
No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
The batting tape is fusible nylon tricot. The batting tape is enough assuming you will be quilting over the area. If you are tying a quilt, you may want to reinforce the join with a machine zigzag.
You can buy batting tape.
It works great. No sewing required. However, it felt to me like it is just lightweight nonwoven fusible interfacing in a strip, so I've started just buying cheap interfacing and cutting my own strips. Very easy. Fairly cheap. I've done several quilts that have been washed many times. So far, all is well.
I am on the side of just but the two pieces together and zig zag. I have more notions than I can usually find when needed... so one more and my sewing room might just burst.
I use fusible interfacing on my Warm & Natural cotton batting, which is just butted together.
I've tried a few ways and what I find easiest is to put the 2 pieces on top of each other, trim a straight edge, pin and sew thru both with a blind hem stitch. Then I open it up and rub my finger along the seam to smooth it out. I found it easier than the zig zag way. Try different methods on some scraps and see which you like best.
When I bought my Bernina I took a class to learn all the things my machine would do. One of the things they had us do was butt pieces of batting together and zig zag sew them together, no tape or anything else. No fat seams either!!
I am with 117Becca - I cut the batting with nice even sides and butt them together and use the largest zig zag stitch (width wide) and sew them together - much faster than ironing with fusible tape and they hold together nicely and then I hand or machine quilt the final project. Works great for me.
Busy in Ohio
I use polyester high loft batting for 99 1/2% of my quilts and seems I am always having to add a piece. I have made several battings for a double size or a bit bigger quilts. I butt the edges together and sew them together - by hand using a large zig zag, works for me everytime.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I never overlap justy zig zag together. Why buy tape and do both just zig zag.
I overlap the batting edges and cut a long wavy curve through both layers. Then I butt the curves together and use a long wide hand zig-zag stitch. The curved seam is less visible and more secure than a straight one in my experience, and hand stitching doesn't crush the batting any. It only takes a few minutes and works well for me.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
I overlap the batting, then cut a wavy line within the overlapped section. Make sure the peaks and valleys of the wavy line are not extreme so that it is easier to manipulate through the machine as you sew. Separate the two pieces of batting again and remove the wavy scraps. Then abut the two pieces of batting, interlocking the wavy lines. Zig-zag to join the pieces. I find this holds very well and the wavy seam is practically undetectable below the quilt top vs. a zig-zagged straight-line.
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
I've tried the Tricot but next time I think I will try the wavy line zig zag method. I have a Bernina 649 and it makes a really wide zig zag
I just bump them up next to each other and zigzag stitch...no bump no issues and very easy

Susan P. McGalla is currently the president of P3 Consulting, a company she founded in 2012. She has had a long business career and held various positions both at the managerial and marketing levels. Among the companies she has worked for include the American Eagle Outfitters and West Seal. Susan McGalla on about.me also sits on the board of several other companies such as HFF Inc.
She was born in East Liverpool Ohio and raised together with her two brothers by their father, a football coach for a local club. Susan McGalla sees her father as a great mentor who taught her not to let her or any other gender, be the restraint to achieving her goals.
She graduated with a bachelor in Business and Marketing from Mount Union College, where she still serves as a board member. She started working at Joseph Horne Company where she served in various marketing and managerial position from 1986 to 1994. From here she joined the American Eagle Outfitters.
She started out as the company's divisional merchandise buyer for women clothes. She later rose through the ranks to be the president and Chief marketing Officer (CMO) of the company's flagship brand in America. Her efforts and innovative ideas were lauded when she was named the President and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for the entire company, a position she served until January 2009.
Between 2009 and 2011, she worked as a private consultant for the retail and financial investment industries in Pittsburg where she resides. In January 2011, she joined Wet Seal as the CEO and worked there up to July 2012 when she left to start her consultancy firm, P3 Consultancy Company LLC. She is also currently working the Pittsburgh Steelers as the Director of Strategic Planning and Growth.
During her time as a business career woman, Susan has amassed a great deal of expertise and experience all derived from the many positions she served. She is a very outgoing woman open to new ideas in life and also ready to share whatever she feels can be beneficial to another person.
Talking about her career success, she attributes it to hard work, commitment and resilience to achieve. She is an advocator of equality and award of opportunities on merit and not on gender or any other preferences. This she learnt coming from a family of three boys where no one was treated indifferently.
She is glad to have broken the monotony of male predominance in most institutions where she has worked. A case in point, American Eagle, a company that had no women on its board or executive positions upon her joining the. Her hard work, however, saw her climb the through its leadership to be its President. Her story is a motivation to many women and girls who feel like they belong to a lesser gender. It is an illustration that with proper motivation, hard work, and perseverance, everyone can make it.

Physician Assistant
To schedule an appointment, please call 781.782.1337.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, I worked as an orthopedic clinical assistant before completing the Physician Assistant program at Emory University, earning a Master's Degree in Medical Science. Shortly after graduating, I moved to the Boston area and joined Excel in 2007. With an athletic background and fascination of biomechanics, my primary interest in orthopedics is sports medicine.
When I'm not working, I'm going on adventures with my husband, twin boys and my dogs. I love running, hiking, cycling, exploring the great outdoors, college football (Go Dawgs!), woodworking and photography.

"I have been a patient at Excel for years. April is THE BEST! She takes the time to get to know you, cares about you (as a person, not just a number), and knows her stuff! The staff is also professional and friendly."
"April was very pleasant and easy to talk to. She explained my condition in concise and easy to understand terms. I felt more like a family member than a patient."
"I saw April Bailey and she was wonderful. I was able to get a quick appointment after being in the walk-in for a fracture in my foot. Front staff were great too."
