Yes, I'm a blog writing loser these days!
I cannot put my finger on it, but I hope I come out of this writing funk soon.
Sadly, the 52 Week Project blog has suffered even more.
Oh well, here are the last three weeks of pictures:

|Beat-to-beat change in "myocardial performance index" related to load.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17430314 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: This study was designed to assess the relationship of the "myocardial performance index" (MPI) to the beat-by-beat change in pre-load with static or unchanged contractile status. METHODS: Eight anesthetized juvenile pigs were studied using direct measurement of the left ventricular pressure and volume. Transient inflation of a vena cava balloon catheter produced controlled pre-load alterations. Consecutive beats were analyzed, grouped for first, second, third, etc. during the pre-load alteration, and evaluated for the change in MPI during the same contractile status with a controlled pre-load alteration. Two pharmacologic inotropic interventions were also included to generate several myocardial conditions in each animal. RESULTS: MPI demonstrated a strong linear relationship to the pre-load and after-load. MPI increased progressively during decreasing end-diastolic volume, mostly related to changes in ejection time. MPI was observed at the same level for three different myocardial function conditions (all eight animals), with a different relationship between MPI and pre-load noted for each observation. CONCLUSIONS: MPI is strongly load dependent, and can vary widely in value for the same contractile status if the load is varied. The use of this index in critically ill patients should be limited in this respect. Further work is needed to establish the relationship of MPI to load and contractile status.

At the end of the week I always have a few bananas laying around. I have a few weird food rules and I do not like bananas that have any spots on the outside and I really only enjoy them if they are "just ripe: so this actually happens pretty frequently.
Normally I make banana cake or plain banana bread. This weekend I thought I would try a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. IT is delicious! The bread is moist, and the addition of the chocolate and the chocolate chips makes it a little decadent and seem more like a dessert as opposed to a quick bread.
Chococolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
adapted from Joy of Baking
1 3/4 cup of flour
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 large eggs slightly beaten
1 stick of butter melted, and cooled
3 ripe bananas mashed well
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
Mix together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Carefully fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Mix in the chocolate chips.
Pour into greased loaf pan or 3 mini pans. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes until bread has risen and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Cool 5 minutes in pan than turn out onto wire rack.
I hope you try this recipe! And if you do or have any other great recipes do let me know in your comments.
I hope you have a great week! Enjoy!

'News' gets Levi Aron while the 'Post' plays with dolls and makes pee jokes
Each day, the New York tabloids vie to sell readers at the newsstands on outrageous headlines, dramatic photography, and, occasionally, great reporting. Who is today's winner?
The New York Post: My favorite paragraph in The New York Post's story about PBS issuing a statement saying that Bert and Ernie of "Sesame Street" are not gay is this one:
Story Continued Below
The very fact that the producers felt it necessary to educate their viewers about the non-sex lives of puppets demonstrates the extent of the mad online debate that captivated bloggers who had nothing better to worry about while Wall Street was going crazy.
I enjoy it so much because right there, on the front of the Post (which today makes no mention of the Dow's uptick yesterday) at the very top of the page is a thick blue bar with a silhouetted picture of the two muppets (Ernie with his rubber ducky, and his arm around roomate Bert) alongside text that reads "'Sesame' wed furor." The dek: "Bert & Ernie just pals, show insists."
Of course people only "insist" when they are saying something implausible; otherwise they just "say." (For what it's worth I am thrilled that PBS acknowledges that not every character has to be given a sexual orientation, a lesson J.K. Rowling might have benefited from before she "insisted" that wizard Dumbledore was gay, without having taken the opportunity to write that down in seven interminably long books.)
But the statement from PBS is as absurd as the case for the muppets being gay. Of course they are just puppets. But it is not as though it would not be in the power of the producers to make Bert and Ernie gay: They only have to say it. Otherwise it's as absurd as those authors who insist that their characters write themselves and guide themselves through their own plots, as though the novelist is just making a recording.
Phew! Getting out of there was hard, but even harder is parsing what's happening in the story of the Jet Blue Pisser. It's hard for me to picture exactly how things unfolded on the red-eye flight in which U.S. Olympic ski hopeful Sandy Vietze was found urinating on the leg of an 11-year-old girl, except that he was drunk and apologized on the spot. That is, he attempted to apologize to the girl's father. He did not attempt to apologize to reporters who followed him home to Vermont, which is what makes him "unapologetic" now. Remember, it's not enough to apologize directly to someone you have peed on; you must apologize to reporters who come to your door afterwards. Mental note! "PEE NUT" reads the heavy black text on the piece, which is clearly meant to serve as the news lede today.
Also Robinson Cano did good stuff against the Angels last night. He looks pretty thrilled as he waves to the stands, text across his middle reading "Yanks, Cano slam-tastic!" in celebration of Cano's grand slam.
Daily News: Remember what we said about apologizing? Levi Aron, accused in the murder of eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky of Borough Park refused, it seems, to apologize to the Daily News in a jailhouse interview that apparently didn't go so well. The at-times slurry, brink-of-schizophrenia (according to his attorneys) man is after all on 24-hour suicide watch. It's hardly surprising that his interview, which lasted an hour, yielded so little. He explained how he only remembers parts of what he calls "the incident," in which he administered a fatal dose of drugs to the boy, smothered him with a pillow and then dismembered his body, according to police. In all, as crazy as he may be, he does not appear to have said anything to the News that would affect his plea or that could be used against him in court. Crazy like a fox?
The rest of the page is "WAY TO GO, CANO!," and it is very, very big.
Observations: "PEE NUT" is pretty good, but I think however poorly sold, a jailhouse interview with one of New York's most hated alleged killers rates as a must-read, if anything does. Sure, the Post is altogether more fun today with its mix of peeing ski stars and bases-clearing home runs and Muppet-dish. But it's all rehash, and I think it shows.
Winner: Daily News.

Easy Ways to Enhance HGH Production
To begin with, why does one have to think about enhancing the HGH levels in the body? Human growth hormone or HGH is a peptide hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland naturally in the body. It is involved in various body functions including protein synthesis, metabolism, development of children, healing of injuries, etc. HGH reaches the peak secretion during adolescence and then gradually declines. But some people are afflicted with its deficiency by birth. Which results in poor development of kids and some developmental malfunctions. HGH, therefore, was started being prescribed for dwarfism among children as a medication.
Soon after the arrival of synthetic HGH in the market and identification of the muscle building and strength boosting functions, its demand increased by 10 folds. Now, a huge population of people gaining benefits from HGH supplements was of the bodybuilders and athletes. However, some side-effects were also linked with the use. So many products came into the market that enhanced HGH secretion in the body. One such product is the Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) that boosts the natural production of HGH. GHRH is produced by the hypothalamus in the body. It triggers the production of HGH by the pituitary when needed. The pituitary gland and hypothalamus work in conjunction to target various processes in the body.
Consume fewer sugars and lose the fats
Studies have reported that an increase of insulin causes a reduction in HGH manufacture. It is well known that simple carbohydrates boost insulin secretion. So, reducing the number of sugars in the diet can restore HGH levels to normal. Also, higher intake of sugars is said to promote weight gain and obesity which are linked with low HGH levels. The complete absence of carbohydrates from the diet is not recommended. A person can instead opt for complex carbohydrates or adjust with lesser amounts for greater benefits.
A good deal of research work has been successful in linking HGH deficiency to a load of stored fats. A person with subcutaneous accumulation of fats has a lower production of HGH and a resultant less secretion of IGF-! Which is required for many functions. Besides, if the same person gets rid of the fat he/she can go back to producing normal level of HGH.
Try supplements that boost the natural HGH production
Many natural products have been found to raise the HGH levels naturally in the body. Treatment with such products, however, is only recommended for a short term. Glutamine and creatine cause a significant hike in growth hormone production. Other products like ornithine, L-dopa, and glycine are also included in various natural supplements that can provide a supporting environment for the secretion of HGH. Often these products are mixed with minerals, vitamins and other amino acids that provide a favorable environment for pituitary functions. Thus inducing manufacture of the hormone. Some other products contain GHRH in the mixture of amino acids. This hormone in the body is naturally produced by the hypothalamus in response to the lower supply of HGH. When supplemented through diet, GHRH mimics the same fashion in which it boosts natural production of HGH.

a) You have a Mac Pro with dual video cards, and each video card can drive two monitors. You use 2 desktop monitors and 2 additional monitors (such as projectors on HDTVs, which is how I use this setup).
b) You want to turn on Display Mirroring, but not the expected way, where all four displays to show the same image. I wanted Monitor #1 to mirror to HDTV #3, and Monitor #2 to mirror to Projector #4. Typically, once all the displays appear in the Displays pane of System Preferences, all mirroring does is display the output of Monitor #1 on all four devices.
After several months of talking with Apple Geniuses, consulting multiple AV companies and purchasing useless video splitter boxes, we accidentally discovered a solution to our problem.
Open System Preferences > Displays. Hold down the option key while you drag any monitor icon on top of any other monitor icon. You will see those two icons layered on top of each other to imply mirroring. Now you can selectively mirror any monitor to any other monitor.
We have successfully used this on Snow Leopard and Lion, on Mac Pros.
[kirkmc adds: I'm a single-monitor guy, so I can't test this. If anyone has four monitors and a Mac Pro, feel free to tell us, in the comments, if it works correctly.]

Block, MD, is an award-winning, board-certified psychiatrist who operates a private practice in Pennsylvania. Learn about our Medical Review Board Daniel B. Block, MD Written by Written by Erin Johnston, LCSW Erin Johnston, LCSW is a therapist, counselor, coach, and mediator with a private practice in Chicago, Illinois. Learn about our editorial policy Erin Johnston, LCSW Updated on December 03, 2019 More in BPD Diagnosis Treatment Living With BPD Related Conditions Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness that is commonly misunderstood by the general population and even some healthcare professionals. In addition, it is a disorder that has the potential to negatively impact the lives of others. Because of these two issues, there are many myths about BPD that exist. If you or someone you know has BPD, it's important to understand the truth about the illness in order to begin recovery. Below are some of the most common myths about BPD. Myth 1: Borderline Personality Disorder Is Not Treatable Hinterhaus Productions / Getty Images This is completely false; BPD is treatable. If you think you have BPD, don't let this myth scare you away from therapy or make you feel helpless. Having a diagnosis does not mean that you will forever experience the symptoms of BPD. Hard work and effective treatment can greatly reduce the severity of BPD symptoms and may help you live a normal life. Even without treatment, the symptoms of the disorder will ebb and flow over time; some people with BPD are able to function at a higher level than others, so recovery is different for each person. Myth 2: All People With BPD Are Victims of Childhood Abuse Too often, well-meaning people who do not understand BPD believe it is caused by abuse experienced while the affected person was a child. This can change the way people interact with you or talk to you if you have BPD, which can be frustrating if you did not experience abuse. It can feel like your own experience isn't understood or is different. While some people who have BPD were abused, it is not true of all BPD patients and should be viewed with a more open mind. There is no known cause of BPD at this time. However, the cause is generally seen as a combination of biological and environmental factors, rather than linked to any one cause. Myth 3: Children and Adolescents Cannot Be Diagnosed With BPD Children and adolescents can be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. However, due to the generally accepted belief that personality is still forming throughout adolescence, diagnosing kids or teens with BPD has been controversial. The Diagnostic Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) lays out clear standards for a diagnosis for BPD. Caution must be used when giving any diagnosis, and this can be especially true for BPD as the symptoms can often mimic typical adolescent behavior. A professional therapist with experience with BPD can help distinguish the difference. Early diagnosis can be helpful in ensuring that an individual gets the intervention needed to begin recovery. Myth 4: BPD Is a Variation of Bipolar Disorder BPD and bipolar disorder are completely different disorders. Although the symptoms of bipolar and BPD may appear somewhat similar, they are two very distinct illnesses. Because even healthcare providers lack knowledge about BPD, people with BPD are often misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder, adding to the confusion. It is also important to note that medications used to treat bipolar disorder often do not work on BPD patients, so a therapist with a background in BPD is essential to get an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. Myth 5: BPD Is Only Found in Women BPD is found in both genders, although it is true that women are more commonly diagnosed with BPD than men. This does not necessarily mean that women are more likely to develop BPD; it could mean that the symptoms men discuss are more incorrectly associated with other disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or depression. The hallmarks of BPD are instability and poor impulse control, which can impact both genders equally. Myth 6: If You Know One Person With BPD, You Know Them All Every person is unique, and having BPD doesn't change that. According to the DSM-V, the standard for mental healthcare, certain criteria must be met for BPD to be diagnosed. The criterium includes impairment in personality functioning and in interpersonal relationships. The way these impairments show themselves is different in every individual. In addition, not all individuals experience specific symptoms in the same way. One person's difficulty with relationships may be different than yours. Each person experiences BPD in very different ways. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Learn the best ways to manage stress and negativity in your life. Sign Up You're in!

All-new Honda HR-V to make official debut at LA Auto Show
All-new Honda HR-V to make official debut at LA Auto Show
Posted on October 24, 2014
Honda HR-V Release Date
Since we first heard news of the Honda HR-V potentially becoming the newest member of the Honda fleet this past April, we've been anxiously awaiting more details about the concept crossover. As we await official word on the Honda HR-V release date, Honda has announced the new crossover is expected to launch this winter, so we hope to see the first shipment on the lot in late 2014 or early 2015.
We also know it will make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 19, 2014. Now that Honda has released its first official photo of the new HR-V crossover, which looks nearly identical to concept photos, we can begin looking forward to its official debut in less than a month.
While we don't have an abundance of information about the Honda HR-V, preliminary details have revealed that it will be based on the popular Honda Fit's platform. With a center fuel tank layout, the HR-V is expected to be incredibly spacious for its class and with the Honda Magic seats, which are famously included in the Honda Fit, cargo capacity is sure to be one of the crossover's strengths.
More details about the Honda HR-V will be released on Nov. 19 at 1:35 p.m. When that information is released, we'll be sure to bring it to you on the Wheaton Honda blog.
As we await the official Honda HR-V release date and its debut at the LA Auto Show on Nov. 19, you can get a feel for what the HR-V might feel like by driving the 2015 Honda Fit, which is now available at Wheaton Honda. Schedule a test drive today and stay posted for more information about the all-new Honda HR-V.

All Homeschoolers Need to Stick Together To Be Stronger
No matter what homeschool philosophy or method you follow, we all have similarities and common ground we can stand on.
All too often I see or hear of homeschool families divided.
The Unschoolers v.s. the Classical; the Charlotte Mason v.s. the Textbook Style, Christian Homeschoolers v.s. the Secular Homeschoolers, etc.
But, what if we stuck together, despite what style, method or philosophy we adhere to?
What if we celebrated what we have in common instead of separating ourselves by our differences?
What could we accomplish?
For one thing, we could give homeschooling a stronger more unified voice. When it comes time to defend our rights and freedoms as parents to choose how our children will be educated, we need to build upon our similarities.
We could also willingly lend each other a helping hand. Encouraging one another in this vocation we have taken on is so important. While homeschooling is great, I don't think anyone of you would disagree when I say days of challenge or even doubt do arise; and in those times we need someone to listen.
We can improve everyday if we keep the lines of communication open to one another. Not for the sake of evangelizing our ways to sway a family into our methods, but to learn from one another and our experiences. I have learned many bits of wisdom from those who follow a different faith or method of homeschool, which I then adapt to fit my family. Some of my greatest supporters don't even homeschool!
So, with the theme of standing together, here is a start to a list of similarities you and I have.
What All Homeschoolers Have in Common
1. We all love our children.
2. Our hearts fill with joy when our kids hit a milestone and break through a previous barrier.
3. All of us have children in our family unit who will learn differently than their siblings.
4. We all have books/curriculum on the shelf we thought would be awesome and have yet to crack open.
5. We all need quiet time to replenish and nourish our souls (Time for Mom (or Dad)).
6. Everyone has had a day (or many in my case) where we don't get one thing done on our looming 'To Do' list.
7. We've all stepped on Lego or hotwheels in the night and have had to hold our tongues as not to wake a sleeping child. (Why, oh why does that Lego hurt so much??)
8. There are days when we overhear our kids 'expertly' conversing with someone over a topic we know nothing about.
9. We've all answered the socialization question 2,348 times (or more).
10. Those days as 5 pm approaches, your husband is due home and you realize you are all still in your p.j.'s because it's been 'one of those days'.
11. Once your husband arrives home, to find you in your p.j.'s as stated above, you just roll with it and enthusiastically declare "It was fun p.j. day!!" pretending it was planned long ago.
12. We've all struggled with what or how a child learns v.s. what or how we, as parents, like to learn or teach.
13. Someone's science experiment has ended up mistakenly in the garbage because we thought the kids just forgot to clean the kitchen. (Or worse yet … we've eaten it!)
14. Bugs and critters have been brought in the house only to escape. (Ask me about Stacey the ladybug, or our painted lady butterfly fiasco.)
15. We have all learned something (or many things) from our kids. (check out this link up from iHomeschool Network bloggers: What My Child Has Taught Me)
16. We have all witnessed how big, loving and forgiving our children's hearts are.
17. The wisdom and innocence our kids possess has helped us appreciate homeschooling and family time.
18. There are days when we raise a white flag, days when we need support and a cheerleader to keep going.
19. We've all wished for a laundry fairy and are truly disappointed that she never show up for duty. (Seriously…where is she??)
20. The internet and researching have sucked a whole day out of us at one point or another.
21. We've all wondered if we are doing enough for our children.
The grass isn't greener on the other side, it is just different grass. So please, don't fall for the comparison game which can lead to division and feeling too proud, it's a trap.
We need to humble ourselves, be welcoming and soften our hearts. We all come from different backgrounds and beliefs which can build us up rather than divide and tear us down.
Today, make an effort to reach out, in real life or via social media, to encourage another homeschooler! Share your experience; but also take time to learn what works well for others so you can improve your homeschool day too.

Ryan Suffern, 8, has written to Santa asking him to save his twin sister from bullying. His letter started off in the general manner asking for the types of gifts that a normal eight year old would ask for. Then he went on to tell Santa that the kids at school constantly bully his sister, Amber, at school. He continued, saying it's not fair. He told Santa that he already prayed for it stop but God is busy and needs his help.
Karen Suffern, the twins' mother, is a single and struggling mom. She wanted to find out early what the kids would like for Christmas because they are getting older and she knew the gifts would be expensive. She thought if she started now preparing for Christmas she would have enough time to save up for her children's request.
Well to her surprise her son asked for more than money could buy. He wants the kids at school to leave his sister alone.
Suffern said tears instantly filled her eyes as she read Ryan's letter. She said she constantly tries to build up her daughter's self-esteem; she always tells her how beautiful she is. Suffern said people say mean things to her as well because she has a weight problem. She says she knows how much it hurts her so she can imagine what her child has to endure at school.
She felt that Amber was probably getting teased on the bus but had no idea how severe the bullying actually was. Amber is about 140 pounds and is an emotional eater. She's almost double her brother's size. Amber has been diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder and has other mental issues which cause her to be very moody. She has never spoken to her mother about the bullying.
The twins attend Rocky Mount Preparatory School in North Carolina. This is the first time that the two of them have had the same classes. Ryan would tell him mom in secret about the bullying. He told her when they are in gym class the kids laugh when she has a hard time performing some of the activities. They make negative comments constantly about her weight and even say that she's adopted because she is multi-racial.
Suffern says every day Amber asks if she can stay home from school; she never wants to go. Since reading Ryan's letter to Santa, Suffern says she feels like she isn't protecting her daughter. She says she feels horrible sending her out to be picked on; it's as if she's letting her down. She knows that bullying is a very serious problem and something has to be done to stop it.
A study was recently released stating that children who are victims of bullying tend to suffer from bad grades, low self-worth, and even physical and mental health problems. The study confirmed a definite connection in children and adolescents between being bullied and psychosomatic problems.
When a child has recurring physical health symptoms like sleeping disorders, headaches, loss of appetite, bed wetting or stomach aches, these issues should be discussed with a pediatrician as soon as possible. They may be signs of bullying and not just physical ailments.
Parents should also reach out to the school for assistance because the negative effects of bullying have been known to cause depression and even suicide. The earlier bullying is detected and addressed the sooner the child can receive the intervention they so desperately need and deserve.
Many studies have indicated that at least one in every four children is a victim of some type of bullying. The internet is flooded with recent stories of children who took their own lives because of the devastation and despair involved with being bullied. With social media constantly on the rise many are now recipients of cyber bullying.
Suffern said that her son's letter has awakened her to the severity of Amber's situation and she will be speaking to the teacher and parents of the kids that are causing her daughter so much pain.
She says she's taught her children to be respectful of others and expects other parents to have done the same. Ryan and Amber have pointed at others and asked about their hair or color and things like that and she explained to them that people are just different; not better or less – just different.
Suffern says bullying comes in many different forms and she hopes the school will intervene and help lighten the emotional load her daughter has to carry. Education is important and she wants Amber to like school.
Suffern says she's very happy to have such a selfless and caring son like Ryan. She knows he's looking out for his sister and now so will Santa.

Check the exhaust sensor. Causes the check engine light to go on. Should have EFI cleaned at this stage and the sensor replace. The sensor is finding something wrong with the burning mixture.

I agree that the 240sx can be dangerous, especially in stock form with its narrow tires in wet conditions, and sometimes in dry conditions if your alignment isn't 100% perfect, and your tires are not in excellent condition, regardless of tread.
My 240sx went completely sideways without warning while I was slowly braking downhill; I was lucky nobody was close enough for me to hit. I still love the car but, am nervous whenever the road is lightly damp or wet; even in stock form the car produces enough torque to spin the rear wheels easily in an straight line or in a corner; so driving skills are a must with this car because anything can happen at anytime.
Otherwise, it is very reliable and has great aftermarket support, and can be sold at much greater value than Blue Book if in good to decent condition, as these cars are sought after especially 97 and 98 models. I've have young to old men approach me in traffic, car dealerships, and my house offering to buy my car. The young guys want to build it up and the older and old guys say that they always wanted one. I'm keeping my 97 because I believe the old guys are not offering for nothing, due to its popularity in Japan, drifting, and easy conversion to a Siliva or higher performance Silvia/240sx without being extremely expensive, is a plus in this car's column; Possibly a future collector's car.
Remember the generation of people that were around will determine the value of this car, not HP and performance alone, and everyday these cars are becoming more rare; especially 97 and 98 models whose production numbers were low to began with.

Dubai – yes, Dubai – is again one of the best-performing real estate markets in the world. Five years after suffering one of history's most epic property bubble-burstings, prices in the emirate steamed ahead 21.7% in the year to the end of the second quarter, luxury brokerage Knight Frank said in a report on Monday, putting it on top of the 55 markets the firm analyzed. That followed consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle's earlier estimation that residential sales prices across Dubai's market went up 16% year-on-year in the second quarter.
Which begs the question: is Dubai on the brink of yet another bubble? The emirate was a poster child of unprincipled property-market speculation during the global asset boom that ended abruptly in late 2008. The ensuing crash sent real estate prices tumbling by more than half in some areas of the emirate. A lot of once-prosperous real estate companies went out of business or scaled back, while plenty of investors lost their shirts.
Echoes of the boom can already be heard here and there. Some familiar boom-era names are cropping up again. Companies like Damac and Deyaar, which largely sat on the sidelines as the aftermath of the crisis played out, are back to selling and building. Damac recently announced a mega-development on Dubai's outskirts with a golf course designed by the Trump Organization, another familiar name. The Trump International Hotel and Tower, a shard of metal and glass planned for the trunk of Dubai's artificial Palm Jumeirah island, was shelved in 2009. Damac, meanwhile, is financing most of the construction of its 28-million-square-foot luxury villa and condo project with off-plan sales, a fund-raising method that was exposed as problematic in the crisis when a lot of investors had trouble getting back money invested in stalled projects.
The U.K.-listed bank Standard Chartered, for one, doesn't seem to think there's any problem with all this. Citing Dubai's "improving fundamentals," slow mortgage growth, better regulation and "low off-plan sales," the bank said in a report last week that Dubai's real estate bonanza is more a case of rational exuberance. This time is different, it said: Dubai's economy is growing, which is expected to continue. The population is rising, which is also expected to continue, reaching 2.2 million this year. Dubai is a safe haven amid unrest elsewhere in the region, and rising confidence "could drive prices further up, with prices and investment feeding off of each other.
Standard Chartered praises new regulations to curb speculation, including a rule requiring developers to buy their land outright and guarantee 20% of the construction costs. Flipping of off-plan properties – properties most investors never intend to live in – was "the main reason behind the previous boom-and-bust cycle," it says. But Standard Chartered also acknowledges that off-plan sales haven't ceased and that developers including Emaar, Damac and Nakheel have continued to use the tactic. It's hard to see large crowds outside of property sales offices like the ones Nakheel did last October or those Emaar did in April and not see an element of speculation. Police had to be called in to tame unruly investors who lined up to reserve three-bedroom villas Emaar was offering.
Still, Jonathan Morris, Standard Chartered's U.A.E. chief executive, said recently that everything looked fine at the moment. "Are we seeing an asset bubble in house prices?" he said. "The answer is today: no. We're seeing a normal pricing dynamic happening. What we have is a demand-led price increase, demand-led because of the stronger growth, stronger jobs market here. The job market here is very strong at the moment so people are buying houses to live in, creating personal wealth, and that is a good thing."
Is this time really different? An added layer of regulation does alter the landscape somewhat, of course, and the feverish pitch of the earlier bubble arguably hasn't yet been reached. Only time will tell.

2017 Confederations Cup semi final odds, tips & bet specials
WHICH two teams will seal a spot in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup final? We preview both semi-final clashes in Russia and bring you the best odds, value bets and player specials from some of the world's best online bookmakers.
Portugal vs. Chile
Thursday, June 29, 2017 – 4am AEST – Kazan Arena, Kazan
Portugal – +150
Draw – +225
Chile – +220
After their opening 2-2 draw with Mexico, the Portuguese have had few problems. Cristiano Ronaldo put aside speculation over his club future to score the only goal against Russia, and he was on target again in the 4-0 rout of New Zealand. While the Real Madrid superstar was named man of the match in all three group of Portugal's group games, the likes of Bernardo Silva, Ricardo Quaresma and Eliseu have all provided key contributions in the forward third.
Chile suffered a big scare in their third group game when James Troisi put an impressive Australia ahead late in the first half. The Socceroos outplayed their more esteemed rivals for much of the match, yet a second-half equaliser from Martin Rodriguez was enough to see the South American champs into the semis. They will want bigger performances on Thursday from the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal, neither of whom had a significant impact against the Aussies.
Player to watch: Alexis Sanchez
Arsenal's star forward was conspicuous by his figurative absence against the Socceroos. One suspects Chile will need him to lift if they are to match a Portugal side at peak confidence after that shock win at Euro 2016. The prospect of Sanchez vs. Ronaldo at full tilt is mouthwatering. Punters can get +500 at Sportsbet for Alexis to score anytime and Chile to win in regulation time.
First goalscorer: Cristiano Ronaldo
Who else? While Portugal have better balance and more top-line talent than in years past, Ronaldo is still very much the main man in attack. He is one of only three players to have scored multiple goals at Russia 2017 to date, and it would shock nobody if he added to that tally in the semis. If you can find better than Sportsbet's +350 odds for first goalscorer, take them.
Match tip: Portugal to win
Fernando Silva's men look even better now than when they stunned France in the Euro 2016 final. That win seems to have given the Seleccao a sense of belief that they truly belong in the upper echelons on international football. Chile are very much their South American equivalent in that sense, but do they have the same depth of talent? Portugal to win outright and both teams to score is a juicy +425 option at Ladbrokes.com.au.
Germany vs. Mexico
Friday, June 30, 2017 – 4am AEST – Fisht Stadium, Sochi
Germany – +110
Draw – +260
Mexico – +275
Only the Chileans were able to give Germany a real run for their money in Group B. The reigning FIFA World Cup champions walked all over Cameroon last time out, while a 3-2 scoreline belied their overall dominance against Australia. They have found goals aplenty from the likes of Lars Stindl and Timo Werner, the latter of whom made a strong case for another starting berth with a brace against the Indomitable Lions. Joachim Loew's squad is deep and flexible despite some notable absentees, so it will be interesting to see which XI he choses to face Mexico.
Goal ratios were all that kept the North American champions off the top of the Group A standings. They gave as good as they got against Portugal before going on to record identical 2-1 results against both NZ and Russia. Each of Mexico's six goals this tournament has come from a different source – always a promising sign. El Tri are missing some key players, however, with Carlos Salcedo out injured and captain Andres Guardado suspended. There are also concerns over Hector Moreno and star striker Javier Hernandez, who is expected to play despite muscle fatigue.
Player to watch: Carlos Vela
With Guardado out, it will fall to Vela to make things happen from the flanks. The 28-year-old Real Sociedad winger is well capable of getting in behind enemy lines and finding the score sheet himself – something he has managed 17 times in 55 caps for Mexico. You could do worse than back the former Arsenal man to score Mexico's first goal at +350 with Ladbrokes.
First goalscorer: Julian Draxler
Picking a first goalscorer from Germany's young, talented front line is no easy feat, but we like Draxler for a number of reasons. For one, he is more experienced at international level than the likes of Stindl, Werner and Sandro Wagner. For another, he is at the head of the penalty-taking queue. Sportsbet has him at $7.50 to open the scoring.
Match tip: Germany to win
Neither of these teams will be at full strength on Friday, but one suspects the Germans can cover their losses without giving up too much. If Mexico were to lose Chicharito or Moreno in addition to Guardado and Salcedo, on the other hand, they could be in for a long night. Value options at Sportsbet include +275 for Germany to win with a clean sheet and +550 for them to win both halves.

The problem is that a user will probably not add a menu entry of an application he is not aware about. That's kind of asking a waiter in a restaurant: "What else can you serve me except of the items on the menu." An application without menu entry is defacto not existant for users. And yes I completely agree with your statements about crowded menus but asking every user to fire up a menu editor will not scale for large scale installations. Wearing my Debian Pure Blends hat I prefer preconfigured menus for spacific tasks but for the moment I'm quite uneducated about the chances how to realise this in a generic way. My guess is that the package education-menus is a good start what we might expect as a result, but I would like to implement this rather in the way: category1: cat1_pkg1, cat1_pkg2, cat1_pkg3, ... category2: cat2_pkg1, cat2_pkg2, cat2_pkg3, ... ... We just have this categorisation in the Blends tasks files. What we need is a way to parse those cat<i>_pkg<j> menu files and build reasonable freedesktop.org menus from these. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

Parkdale Mills
Born just six miles from Parkdale Mills in Gastonia, NC, Kimbrell was named after Duke Power Co. because his father was proud of his longtime employment with the company that brought electricity and prosperity to the region. His mother was a public school teacher who made certain he got his education. With this support from home, Duke was encouraged to be independent and ambition was not squelched. At age 14, he began riding his bike to the mill to see whatever odd jobs were available for a youngster. Bill Robinson, the owner of Parkdale took a liking to Duke and gave him projects. No job was too small for this boy. When World War II came, Duke was promised a job when he returned. "Fighting in the war taught me that I would have to work hard for whatever I wanted in life, "" said Kimbrell, and what he wanted was to be the "head man" at Parkdale. True to their word, after the war, when Duke returned to Gastonia, the mill encouraged him to get a college degree. 1
Duke entered the School of Textiles at NC State in Raleigh along with thousands of other returning GIs. He graduated with a BS degree in 1949 and rejoined Parkdale. Even though he had better offers financially from other firms. Why Parkdale? "The deciding factor was that I saw an opportunity to rise to the top more quickly than anywhere else, recalled Kimbrell. "Plus, I loved the place." Robert A. Barnhardt, Dean of the NC State University College of Textiles, from 19891999, said in support, "That's the type of Horatio Alger story that many would like to achieve but few succeed." Robinson was Kimbrell's mentor until his death. "Bill Robinson was sick from about 1954 on – he couldn't come out often." Kimbrell remembered. "He lived only a couple of miles from the mill and I was single, so I'd go by there about every day, telling him how things were going in the mill." said Kimbrell. 1
When Kimbrell took over Parkdale, There were 150 employees. Today (1991) the firm employs over 2, 900. The company has 18 plants, produces 250 million pounds of yarn and has annual sales over $400 million. 1
After Robinson died, the board agreed to let Kimbrell acquire and revamp the mills with the help of a silent partner. He also moonlighted for BVD, the large underwear manufacturer. "Stockholders can't say too much about what you do on the side if you're making them money," Kimbrell laughed. He used these ventures to help acquire 5050 ownership with the George Henry family in 1982. 1
As an industry leader, Kimbrell is well known outside the cotton crowd and even beyond. One area where his dedication is most appreciated is education. In May 1991, the NCSU College of Textiles presented him with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. "Duke has been committed to the College of Textiles and the NC Textile Foundation under which, during his leadership, the corpus reached a value of $10 million, confirms Barnhardt. 1
He has been chair of the ATMI's Cotton Committee, Executive Committee and the Budget, Finance, and Membership Committees; Vice president of the National Cotton Council of America; Director of Inman Mills, First Wachovia Corporation, Warp Spun Yarns, Vintage Yarns, and Unifi. Past services includes: AYSA, NCTMA, NCTF, This year ATMI awarded its highest recognition – the Samuel Slater Award – for a lifetime of contributions to the U.S. textile Industry. 1
Gastonia's local paper, The Gazette, named him 1990 Person of the Year. When First Presbyterian Church needed to search for a new pastor, Duke told the Search Committee "Use our plane." He also led the effort to build a new headquarters for the local Boy Scouts of America. He has touched a lot of lives.
When Duke Kimbrell was honored at North Carolina State University Commencement December 14, 2005:
Kimbrell is chairman of the board for Parkdale Mills, the world's largest independent cotton yarn manufacturer. Prior to serving as board chair, Kimbrell was CEO of Parkdale Mills; during that time, Kimbrell helped transform the company from a 200employee, $11 million company into a 3,600employee firm with $934 million in sales.
A noted leader in his field, Kimbrell has received numerous accolades from Textile World magazine, including the Lifetime Achievement Award and Leader of the Year. He serves on the board of directors for the American Textile Manufacturers Institute and chairs the cotton committee. Kimbrell received NC State's Watauga Medal, which honors those who have made significant contributions to the advancement of the university, in 1995. He will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
Duke Kimbrell established a $3 million endowed scholarship fund at N C State in September 2008.

The ordination was an excellent evening, and we felt very affirmed and supported. A brief write-up (and the text of the sermon) is on the diocesan website if you want to get a feel for it.
I quite liked the sermon as it has a sense of humor deals honestly with the demands of clergy life:
Saint Matthias was chosen to replace Judas, and into almost any Parish or ministry Julie and Steve enter, they will be replacing someone. Thank God then that no matter how little you or those with whom you serve think of your predecessor, it was not and will not be Judas.
The spirit of our age adores busyness and we get drawn into this all the time. So often we clergy seem to preach salvation by works in the way that we manage our time and our lives. If you listened to me most of the time you would think that Jesus' yoke was made of lead.
Dean Michael Hawkins of the Anglican Diocese of Saskatchewan

European Free to Play launch date during Week off!
Well there's a coincidence, European F2P is going to start on 2nd Tuesday which happens to be when I've booked a week off from work (and it looks like the servers will be taken down at 1 am UK time; overnight – nice).
And probably also when I've finally managed to install the Beta; note to self, when downloading overnight don't leave computer set to sleep-mode after 30 mins. It's hard work being Berath sometimes. I'm actually only doing it for the 500 Turbine Points which I might not get anyway as the trial has actually finished. In fact I don't even know if the torrent I found will still be up when I get back to my desktop.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday.
We've vaguely talked about how it will influence the kinship. Not in the 'we'll be flooded with oiks' sort of way, more the in the 'we'll have more transient members' way. People who join, are keen but never get round to subscribing and eventually just drift off. We have always had our share of people who pass through, every kinship does no problem, but will we get more? Will it be unsettling? We don't want to impose a 'we'll ignore you until you start paying' regime. But at the same time there is a limit to the number of times you can be friendly and inclusive to new members who then disappear.
It may be a non-issue. Any new people attracted by F2P may want to form their own kinships. They may not want to join kinships for old crusties around since the start. Or of course we may find ourselves continuing to attract people who intend to stay and stay until life and circumstances call them away to other kinships, other games or real life (what's that?).
Meeting kin: does it spoil immersion in MMOs?
A month or so back various members of my LOTRO kinship decided it would be fun if we all met up in real life and spent some time together. So we all headed to Cambridge, played games, ate cake and had a fine time. It wasn't the first time I had met people from my kin. I had already met a couple of them in a trip to Sweden and met another, who lived conveniently close to me, for coffee. Funnily enough this kinmate has an almost identical name to me, varying by a mere three letters, and is in almost exactly the same career…I'm still not quite convinced that we're not the same person.
Anyway, a while later I was telling someone about the meet-up. One of the things that they particularly wanted to know was whether, now I had seen people and met them, had my view of their in-game character had changed. Had it somehow spoiled immersion within the game?
This made me think. The person Id been talking to thought it would for him. In the end, I thought for me, it hasn't. I think meeting in real-life has given me more of an insight to the player behind the game, what they're like, maybe feel closer (especially in TeamSpeak when I can hear them), but in-game, no, their character has stayed a character and a separate entity. I still see the dwarf in front of me and not the person playing him (or at least not any less than I did before). I'm not sure if this is because I have been a role-player for many years and so the concept of someone being different from their character is pretty ingrained. I know that my friends in Sweden somehow expected me to be like my first elven character; tall, graceful and academic. They told me cheerfully after meeting me, that I had turned out to be exactly the opposite..er thanks, though they did seem to think that this was a good thing! Anyway has the revelation that I am short, clumsy and vulgar affected their view of my in-game character, well it hasn't seemed to..though maybe they are a bit less surprised when she falls off staircases and bridges!

Last night was one of the first times that I felt maybe I was a catch, maybe I am special..defects and all.
I don't know how to explain what is special about me....I go to say that I'm laid back and to some extent that is true - but it's more than that. During my marriage I was so high strung - I bossed him around, worried about shit that totally didn't matter, and had to have control over every situation. I'm not that person anymore - thank God.
I have some work to do when it comes to my romantic relationships. But I think that work may be a little bit easier now that I see as far as chicks go I'm a pretty cool one - if I do say so myself...lol

Ugly twist in Hempstead school board election
Elections can get ugly, we all know that. But school board races usually do not sink to that level.
Then there's Hempstead.
This is the school district that infamously saw part of last May's election results thrown out by the state education commissioner, who ordered a revote after examining allegations of absentee ballot fraud and voter coercion by campaign workers for longtime board member and power broker Betty Cross. Cross and challenger Maribel Toure faced off again in October and Toure won the showdown decisively.
Now that Toure is running again, the high jinks continue. And they are despicable.
Late last week, a Facebook post touting the team of incumbent trustee Shelley Brazley and running mate David Gates as the strongest opponents of Toure and running mate Gwen Jackson featured a photo of Adolf Hitler complete with swastika on his arm and a quote from the German dictator that ended with: In starting and waging a war it is not right that matters, but victory.
The post, which appears on Brazley's Facebook page, was part of a countdown to today's Election Day, a countdown that on other days included quotes from inspirational figures such as Gandhi, Frederick Douglass and Muhammad Ali. And now Hitler. It's shocking and deplorable that candidates who are going to be making decisions affecting 7,000 schoolchildren thought that invoking Hitler was appropriate.
Underneath the quote was the message: "STOP the Democratic Machine! We've Given Them The Village. Don't Give Them the School District!"
The second part of the message is a blatant appeal to anyone in Hempstead uncomfortable with the influx of Latinos into the community. This kind of racism is deeply disturbing and has wracked Hempstead for years and has been directed at Toure, a Mexican emigrant, in particular. Just last month, Toure's opponents questioned her citizenship in a shameful attempt to remove her from the board; Toure was forced to produce paperwork that proved she is indeed a United States citizen.
The poster referred to Brazley and Gates as "The Bridge Over Troubled Waters." Hard to see how invoking Hitler soothes anything.
Brazley called Newsday Tuesday afternoon and defended the posting as neither racist nor anti-Semitic.
"What I did was simply liken the condition of my community, people in their frame of mind, to that of that time period and that leader and what was able to happen to those people as a result of not paying attention," said Brazley, 58, who is black and works for Nassau County's Office of Minority Affairs.
She told Newsday that neither Gates nor her campaign manager has anything to do with the post.
"History is a love of mine and I know that if you don't know your history you are bound to repeat it. All I was doing was stating a fact, quote ... I am simply saying 'People, wake up.'"
In addition, we're also hearing reports that absentee ballots - yes, that again - were sent out that did not include Gwen Jackson's name. When someone who received such a ballot called to complain, a corrected ballot was sent to her. But it was accompanied by a cover letter on official Hempstead letterhead that lists the members of the board of education.
The list includes Betty Cross and does not include Maribel Toure. The letter is dated May 11, 2015 - more than six months after Toure defeated Cross. The copy here was provided by Sergio Argueta, a co-convener of The Corridor Counts, a civic group that is supporting the campaign of Toure and Jackson.
Argueta said early this afternoon that his group is receiving messages from poll workers that "absentee ballots are being brought in by the bundle. One individual has been in twice already with multiple ballots."
Here's hoping the state attorney general's office doesn't rue its decision not to monitor this election.

Your health is vitally important before, during, and after your pregnancy. After the baby comes you will have a lot on your plate, and it can be easy to get caught up in everything else. You are probably excited about having a new bundle of joy, but also nervous about all the changes you will be going through. Plus, you may have zero time to actually exercise. To lose your pregnancy weight, you will need to make more lifestyle changes than you already have. Proper planning can help you to be ready for when the baby arrives.
Adjust your diet to make sure your baby gets sufficient nutrients. Your body needs healthy nutrients so a steady diet of fast food has to go. Eat more fruit, veggies and lean meat.
You need more calories when you're pregnant. Remember, being pregnant means that you are eating for two and it is important that both you and your unborn baby are fed. Lean towards eating foods that are good for you, like fresh fruits and vegetables.
Pregnant women need to keep their skin protected prior to spending time in the hot sun like everyone else. The skin of a pregnant women is quite sensitive and more susceptible to sunburn and other irritations.
Are you in your first trimester and experiencing an upset stomach? Try eating several small meals instead of three big ones. Keeping the stomach full of something can prevent upset stomach issues. Try to keep everything you eat light as well as fresh. Eat lots of lean meats, fruits, and vegetables.
Some small lifestyle changes can really help improve your pregnancy experience. It can take time to adapt to them, but you're making a big change by having a baby. Make some changes in your life, and you can easily lose weight after pregnancy.

Graham Beck Wine
The importer and distributor of Graham Beck in Sweden, Primewine, commissioned Creative Space to develop the marketing platform for this South African wine. This was one of a series of ads we produced. High impact in all press gave Graham Beck a solid boost in sales.
Graham Beck
Probably one of the "most value for money" wines of South African on swedish Systembolaget (in Sweden Systembolaget has a monopoly for selling alcoholic beverages over 3,5%). Aside of that fact, making ads for wines is highly regulated which makes marketing them quite a challenge.
Creative Space helped Primewine (the importer of Graham Beck to Sweden) with both a series of ads and a newly built branding platform suited to the swedish audience. Below you can view the results. In figures; sales soared.

|Last Hope is a series of sixteen original short films compiled by Andrew Kidman (Glass Love/Litmus) and Spunk Records.
Andrew Kidman chose six of his favorite surfing filmmakers to create short films that were inspired by the sea. The filmmakers include Albert Falzon (Morning Of The Earth), Jon Frank (Litmus), Monty Webber, Michelle Lockwood (Kids) and American underground surf filmmakers Patrick Trefz (Thread) and Richard Kenvin (Hydrodynamica). Kidman also provides four special cuts of his own.
The filmmakers created their short films to music that includes Smog, Sufjan Stevens, Mogwai, My Morning Jacket, Dirty Three, Holly Throsby, Vetiver, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Brown Birds From Windy Hill and Machine Translations. The quality of songs by these recording artists combined with the infinite beauty of the sea is something breathtaking to say the least. Add to this the unique style of each filmmaker, bringing to life with these wonderful songs what they are trying to articulate.
The result is at times emotional, sometimes harrowing, thoughtful, funny and heartfelt. The viewer is left stunned by the vastness of the ocean and the depth of emotion in the music.

Bridgeport Man Sentenced To 38 Months In Federal Prison For Illegally Possessing Firearm
Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that SCOTT LAMBERT, also known as "Mike," 33, of Bridgeport, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport to 38 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for illegally possessing a firearm.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on two occasions in May 2011, LAMBERT sold heroin to an individual working with law enforcement. On August 6, 2011, Bridgeport Police stopped a truck in which LAMBERT was a passenger. LAMBERT was arrested after he attempted to discard a handgun that he possessed.
LAMBERT was convicted of cocaine possession in 2003 in federal court, and he also has multiple state felony convictions. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
This matter stems from an FBI Bridgeport Safe Streets Task Force and Connecticut State Police Statewide Narcotics Task Force investigation into narcotics trafficking activity and violent criminal activity in and around the Trumbull Gardens housing complex in Bridgeport. The Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Trumbull Police Departments participated in the investigation.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tracy Lee Dayton and Rahul Kale.

Planned Parenthood has again been forced to take down misleading claims of offering prenatal care. The "PP Black Community" Twitter account, which is apparently tied to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, recently posted:
"There are going to be a lot [of] babies made after listening to Die With You. Remember, your local Planned Parenthood does prenatal care, too."
Yes, Planned Parenthood actually highlighted a song titled "Die With You" in reference to "babies made," which is incredibly tone-deaf in its own regard. Moreover, the tweet was immediately taken down once Live Action and several others called the organization out on the fact that the prenatal care claim is demonstrably false.
A couple of months ago, Live Action actually exposed the fact that Planned Parenthood offers essentially no prenatal care. They went undercover and asked employees of the abortion giant about pregnancy care and heard one answer after another confirming the fact that Planned Parenthood does not offer it. One responder even admitted, "We specialize in abortions. You know, that's what our ultrasounds are for, to see how far along the, um, patient is."
Planned Parenthood has a tendency to twist the truth to make it seem like they are a "women's health" provider when in reality, they are an outlet for abortion. But in order to keep their funding, this is the lie they must defend.
Did you know that many major corporations support Planned Parenthood both directly and through third party groups? Take a look at our resource page to learn more. You may now use the tools at the top of each company's page to reach out and let corporations like BP, Johnson & Johnson and Starbucks know to "Stop funding Planned Parenthood's abortion business!"
