(IKEA looks to expand its U.S. presence announcing plans to open a second Atlanta-area store in Marietta, GA. Photo Credit: IKEA/Business Wire))IKEA is expanding its footprint in the metro Atlanta area, with plans for a new store in Marietta.
The Swedish home furnishings company founded in 1943 has identified 34 acres of land near the western side of Interstate 75, between the Marietta Parkway and Delk Road exits, as the site of their new location.
"After 10 successful years in our Midtown location, we are excited to expand our presence with a new store in the Atlanta area," said Lars Petersson, IKEA U.S. president. "This proposed Marietta store will bring the unique family-friendly shopping experience closer to customers in Cobb County and beyond."
IKEA has not set a timeframe for construction to start or for the opening of the store. However, the company says they will begin filing plans for the new store with Marietta city officials in the future.

Solar cells can convert up to three-quarters of the energy contained in the Sun's spectrum into electricity, yet the infrared spectrum is entirely lost in standard solar cells.
Around a quarter of the Sun's spectrum is made up of infrared radiation which cannot be converted by standard solar cells; that heat radiation is lost. One way to overcome it is to use black silicon, a material that absorbs nearly all of the sunlight that hits it, including infrared radiation, and converts it into electricity. But how is this material produced?
In normal silicon, infrared light does not have enough energy to excite the electrons into the conduction band and convert them into electricity, but the sulfur incorporated in black silicon forms a kind of intermediate level. You can compare this to climbing a wall: The first time you might fail because the wall is too high, but another time you can succeed by making two efforts, using an intermediate level. However, in sulfur this intermediate level not only enables electrons to climb the 'wall', it also works in reverse, enabling electrons from the conduction band to jump back via this intermediate level, which causes electricity to be lost once again.
By modifying the laser pulse that drives the sulfur atoms into the atomic lattice, researchers found they can change the positions that these atoms adopt in the lattice and change the height of their 'levels', in other words their energy level.
"Black silicon is produced by irradiating standard silicon with femtosecond laser pulses under a sulfur containing atmosphere," explains Dr. Stefan Kontermann, who heads the Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion section of the Fraunhofer Project Group for Fiber Optical Sensor Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, HHI. "This structures the surface and integrates sulfur atoms into the silicon lattice, making the treated material appear black."
If manufacturers were to equip their solar cells with this black silicon, it would significantly boost the cells' efficiency by enabling them to utilize the full Sun spectrum. The researchers at HHI have now managed to double the efficiency of black silicon solar cells.
"We achieved that by modifying the shape of the laser pulse we use to irradiate the silicon," says Kontermann. "We used the laser pulses to alter the embedded sulfur in order to maximize the number of electrons that can climb up while minimizing the number that can go back down."
In the first stage of the project, the scientists modified the laser pulses and investigated how this changed the properties of black silicon and the efficiency of solar cells made from this material. Now they are working on using different shapes of laser pulses and analyzing how this changes the energy level of the sulfur. In the future, they hope that a system of algorithms will automatically identify how the laser pulse should be modified in order to achieve optimum efficiency.
The researchers have already successfully built prototypes of black silicon solar cells and their next step will be to try and merge these cells with commercial technology.
"We hope to be able to increase the efficiency of commercial solar cells – which currently stands at approximately 17 percent – by one percent by combining them with black silicon," Kontermann says. Their starting point is a standard commercial solar cell: The experts simply remove the back cover and incorporate black silicon in part of the cell, thereby creating a tandem solar cell that contains both normal and black silicon.
The researchers are also planning a spin-off: This will be used to market the laser system that manufacturers will be able to acquire to expand their existing solar cell production lines. Manufacturers would then be able to produce the black silicon themselves and include it in the cells as standard.
The 'Customized light pulses' project was one of this year's winners in the '365 Places in the Land of Ideas' competition; the awards ceremony is due to be held in Goslar on October 11th, 2012.
Black Silicon Solar Cells Can Absorb Infrared Spectrum And Now Are A Whole Lot More Efficient

Cinnamon Ice Cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- ten 3-inch (8-cm) cinnamon sticks, broken up
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 5 large egg yolks
Warm the milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon sticks and 1 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan. Once warm, cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
Rewarm the cinnamon-infused milk mixture. Remove the cinnamon sticks with a slotted spoon and discard them or save them for garnish and presentation. Pour the remaining 1 cup cream into a large bowl and set a mesh strainer on top.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Stir the mixture constanly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer and into the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The Three Legged Hopper is a minor ghost the Ghostbusters and Slimer trapped with relative ease.
After two hours, the Ghostbusters focused on trapping the Hopper.[2] Winston Zeddemore entered the dilapidated building occupied by the ghost and opened fire. The ghost hopped away and jumped out a window. Peter Venkman, who was waiting outside, fired a shot off and confined the ghost. Ray Stantz joined in and fired a second confinement stream. Slimer and Egon Spengler trapped it.
While not outright stating it, Ray implied the Hopper was either a Class 2 or a Class 3.[3]

When a new hack gets released, some things break and need to be updated. This article is here to get you up to speed on recent homebrew developments relating to h-encore and FW 3.65-3.68.
ShellSecBat V6/7 released: FW 3.68 and xmc0 support
ShellBat, developed by nowrep, is one of the most popular plugins for the PSVita as it allows you to see the battery percentage in the status bar.
You can now see your battery percentage and other information in the status bar even on FW 3.68!
Its very useful because Sonys official way of displaying how much battery is left isnt very accurate and the battery icon can be full even though the charge is around 50%! OperationNTs ShellSecBat, which is a fusion of ShellBat and LastSeconds, got the following updates:
- Support for FW 3.68 by nowrep V6
- xmc0: support, for seeing how much space is left, which is useful for SD2Vita users on FW 3.68 by BenMitnicK- V7
Apart from displaying the battery percentage, it can also displays seconds, the date and how much space you have left in a specific partition. To get this plugin, simply follow the link below.
Auto-h-encore 0.3.2 released
Auto-h-encore, a tool that makes installing h-encore much easier, is still being updated!
As installing h-encore isnt as easy as opening a webpage and letting the magic happen, developer noahc3 decided to release a tool which automates most of the process. Like all good developers, noahc3 is still pushing out updates for his software so that it works flawlessly and has all the features one may need.
Auto-h-encore 0.3.x brought along:
- Multi-language support, with languages such as Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Russian being supported
- Automatic grabbing of the AID (which is needed to encrypt the h-encore backup so that you could install it) from the registry if QCMA had already recorded it from previous usage.
- Improved error handling and code clean-ups
To get auto-h-encore and hack your FW 3.65-3.68 PSVita/PSTV in a jiffy, simply follow the link below.

The ever increasing levels of customers complaints and the rise of the smaller, independent energy suppliers has led to in excess of 2 million gas and electricity customers leaving the Big Six. We have been reporting on this developing trend here at Love Energy Savings throughout the summer months and this is now becoming more than just a blip for the likes of npower, British Gas et al.
Complaints against the Big Six energy companies are now at record levels, indicating that they may be doing very little to restore some trust in their damaged reputations following some more than scathing press over the last few years. Indeed, just last week EDF Energy bore the brunt of a £3million fine for letting their customer complaints rise by 30%.
Independent Energy Suppliers Continue to Benefit...
As these levels of customer service continue to decline from the UK's bigger energy suppliers, the smaller companies have enjoyed a big increase in popularity. Due to a combination of their commitment to keeping their customers happy and bespoke energy packages, more and more home and business energy customers have been realising that they do not have to stay with the more established brands. At the present time, the five best energy deals are available through independent energy companies and you can see a breakdown of their terms by visiting our energy suppliers hub.
Through switching from the Big Six to these smaller energy firms, it is thought that customers are saving around £200 per year.
A Case In Point...
A good example of a member of the Big Six energy suppliers urgently needing to buck their ideas up is that of npower. With more than 62,000 energy customers leaving the supplier in the first half of 2014, customer service was attributed as the main reason for such an exodus. For every 100,000 npower customers, there were a record of 306 complaints, a statistic that the regulator Ofgem deemed as completely unacceptable.
If these figures have not improved significantly by the end of August, then this supplier faces being banned from all telesales. The firm says it has taken action to rectify the situation including enhancing the way that customer complaints can be handled over the phone.
British Gas & SSE...
npower is not the only member of the Big Six which is feeling the effects of the latest energy switching trend. Even British Gas has seen hundreds of thousands of domestic energy customers switch suppliers since the start of the year and SSE Energy Supplier have seen close to half a million customers decide to leave.
We are proud to support many of the smaller energy companies which have been making strides over the last few months and you can find comprehensive profiles in our energy suppliers section. You can also find the latest updates from the likes of Ovo Energy, Co-Operative Energy, Good Energy and a plethora of other independents in our thriving energy news centre.
If you would like to see if your domestic or business energy contract would be better off elsewhere, there is a free, quick and easy way to find out right away. Simply take advantage of our comparison tool right here at Love Energy Savings and we will even take care of your switch for you, no strings attached! You could save serious dosh and more importantly, it will not involve you having to take time out of your day, why not leave it in the hands of our energy experts?

It's just me yo.
No, really. THIS is how I do it.I think about a lot of random stuff and I like to write it down. I believe in a lot of things and I think an equal amount of stuff is total crap. I am a cynical optimist. I am real. I like synchronicity and idiosyncrasy. My brain works quickly, which does not guarantee accuracy but is not A.D.D. Usually my mouth works even more quickly. I thought being really tall and living in Asia was pretty cool; but I am super glad to be back in California now. I want to be happy, bendy and satisfied... Because really, who wouldn't?

Not only is debt software making it easier and less expensive for collection agencies to do their jobs, it is also making it much more convenient for debtors hoping to solve their debt problems with as little notice as possible. Accounts Receivable software has hit the mark with an anonymous method for debtors to settle online.
Many debtors are hounded by collection calls, and they learn how to identify these types of calls, and subsequently dodge them. In this case, particularly in older debts, collection agencies have been able to employ a new strategy that seems to be working very well. Using advancements in Accounts Receivable software, collection agencies are able to send either an email, or a letter to debtors suggesting a payment plan and the anonymity of using a website and a unique password to enter payments without embarrassing calls with debt collectors.
Debtors have reacted very favorably to this new method of making payments and subsequently removing their bad debt status. They seem to find it less embarrassing, and are more likely to pay their debts. In addition, online payments are much more convenient because payments can be accepted at any hour.
Perhaps due to the recent downturn in the economy, which left many consumers in debt, it seems less embarrassing to file for bankruptcy, and in order to reclaim their credit, consumers are beginning to pay off credit card debt much faster than mortgage debt. The reasons for this may be that consumers would rather satisfy their debts to keep their credit scores up than pay money on a mortgage that is worth more than their home.
With the proper methodology and advanced Accounts Receivable software that allows for many types of communication with debtors, debt collection agencies are more likely to satisfy debt quicker and more efficiently. Many credit card applications now request telephone number, address, and email so that debtors can be more easily contacted. Studies have indicated that consumers actually prefer these anonymous contact methods better than speaking with a call center agent.
Not only does the client benefit from this reduced contact with call center agents, it also cuts down on the cost to collection agencies. Everyone benefits.
New debt software accepts and reports remote payments made over a secure internet connection, even when the file contains multiple consumer accounts. In addition, consumers can access their debt reports online and review statistics about the actions of their collection agency.
The new software also enables collection agencies to do a more efficient job of locating and connecting with customers via phone with predictive dialer software. This software allows collection agencies to connect with the right party every time. The software allows many different caller dialogs to be used, based on the inbound or outbound calls, and the type of information available. For instance, if a social security number is offered, the predictive dialer software can check this before the agent even gets on the call. This radically cuts down on the time that agents need to spend on debt collection calls.

Sharon Lorenzo's Eighth Painting Profile
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) painted portraits of a number of his neighbors during his years living in the south of France near Arles. We know that he did over 20 works of the family of the local postman, Joseph Etienne Roulin. A simple man who sorted the mail at the train station, Roulin, his wife and children, became something of an adopted family for Vincent. The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia is one of the repositories of these works, with the portrait in oil of Roulin featuring his distinguished face and massive beard. I chose this work because it is a classic in the Barnes Collection which was formed by a man who would have identified with simple folk like Roulin. Albert C. Barnes fancied himself the champion of the common man and shunned the high society of his peers during his lifetime.
Educated at Central High School as the son of a butcher, Barnes went to Penn Medical School and formed a company with a partner, Herman Hille, to manufacture and sell an antiseptic named Argyrol. Barnes eventually bought out his partner and used the proceeds from his financial success to build an art collection that was devoted to promoting education and appreciation of the fine arts. In the early years of the 20th century, these works of art were very reasonably priced. Today the collection of 3,000 works is valued at over $25 billion dollars, making it one of the most valuable private collections in the world, including 181 pictures by Renoir, 69 by Cezanne, 59 by Matisse, 21 by Picasso and so many more. Sadly, Barnes died in a car accident in 1951 at the age of 79.
Albert C. Barnes ( 1872-1951)
The Barnes Foundation today runs two campuses with the museum in central Philadelphia and 2,500 acres in Merion devoted to a lovely arboretum. In 2012 the art was moved from a small building in Merion to this new building on Benjamin Franklin Parkway with protest from various sectors that Barnes would not have liked to see his collection on museum row. However, the Attorney General ruled that the deviate of the Barnes trust allowed for greater public access to these very valuable works. The collection was rehung in the new building just as Barnes had organized the works in the original Merion location.
Barnes Foundation, 2025 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia
I predict that in our lifetime, the local judiciary will grant further permissions for the Barnes to deviate from the trust and take a work such as the Roulin portrait and move it within the building to the temporary exhibition gallery to allow the curatorial staff to borrow the other five portraits by Van Gogh of the postman so that they can be seen all together. I feel that the other institutions, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Detroit Art Institute, the Kunstmuseum in Switzerland and the Kroller- Muller collection in the Netherlands would be receptive to this idea. The opportunity to study the similar works by Van Gogh would give both scholars and art lovers a chance to see the master's hand at work, varying the poses and postures of the postman. Van Gogh painted some of his most famous works in Arles where he sought refuge in this small town with the good company and friendship of simple people like the Roulin family before his tragic death by suicide at the young age of 37, following years of a personal struggle with depression and anxiety.
The Barnes Foundation is open from Wednesday to Monday from 10-5pm with free admission for all on the first Sunday of each month. Tickets should be purchased on line in advance on the website as the building occupancy in limited by the terms of the trust. It has a wonderful book store and café for all visitors to enjoy along with a large space for private functions upon request.

Here is one more quick and easy tween craft to share with you today, also made entirely by my resident tween artist in residence, my now 11-year-old "E." She made these last year when she was 10 but I never got a chance to share them with you here on the blog. "E" loves all things squids and snails. She whipped these up one afternoon and I thought they were so clever. She has the best ideas, I'm sure you'll be reading her blog soon enough, I should just let her take over this one for me!
To make the pencil toppers, she cut removable pencil eraser toppers with scissors
to create little fringed/notched feet for her squids.
Then, she glued mini googly eyes to each eraser to transform them into "squids."
She used hot glue or craft glue.
(Aleene's Tacky glue and E600 are our favorite heavy duty craft adhesives)
To embellish them she added a few mini stickers.
They're too cute to use but they sure are fun sitting in the pencil cup on her desk!
Happy Tween Crafting!
Pink and Green Mama, MaryLea

The Obama administration is again postponing release of a report outlining proposals for modernizing insurance regulation that was scheduled to be released last January.
Disclosure of the delay was contained in comments Federal Insurance Office director Michael McRaith is scheduled to make before a House Services Committee panel Thursday and as it released its annual report on the industry.
In his comments, McRaith is scheduled to say that the FIO will release "additional reports this year," including the report on how to modernize and improve the system of insurance regulation in the U.S.
A separate report on the "breadth, scope and role of the global reinsurance market" will also be released, McRaith is scheduled to say.
The first FIO report merely recites industry facts and figures — and does not make any controversial observations as to how the industry should be regulated in the future.
The report said the key industry issues are the low interest rate environment; natural catastrophes, and their impact "on individuals, families, businesses, and communities"; the changing demographics in the United States, where the aging of the U.S. population, combined with increased life expectancy, has increased demand for products that offer lifetime income protection; and growth opportunities in emerging markets.
The report was released on the eve of a congressional hearing that may underscore tensions between the FIO and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
The title of the hearing is, "The Impact of International Regulatory Standards on the Competitiveness of U.S. Insurers."
FIO director Michael McRaith, NAIC CEO Ben Nelson, and Roy Woodall, an independent member of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, will testify.
The hearing is being held by the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee of the Financial Services Committee.
The hearing was demanded by state regulators who have complained that the FIO, since its enactment, is attempting to usurp the primacy of state insurance regulation with respect to international negotiations.
In a flash report to its members obtained by the National Underwriter, the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers (CIAB) said that, "The actual scholarly and balanced nature of the report, meanwhile, may be seen as somewhat anticlimactic."
At the same time, Joel Wood, CIAB senior vice president of government affairs, said in the memo to members that, "At first blush, the report looks to us to be an accurate and relevant document that puts into context the industry's financial strength and regulation."
In a separate statement, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) said that the report "shows the continued strength of the property/casualty insurance industry despite the financial crisis and some of the worst years for natural catastrophes on record."
NAMIC added that the report also highlights the work being done around the world to improve the efficiency and coordination of insurance regulation, which NAMIC believes should be carefully monitored to avoid a negative impact on the healthy and competitive U.S. property/casualty insurance market."
Moreover, the NAMIC statement said that, "As FIO finalizes its report on regulatory modernization for the insurance industry, we hope it will keep the findings of this annual report in mind, and take a cautious approach in recommending changes to a system that has enabled the property/casualty insurance industry to protect consumers through these difficult times."
The FIO did not comment on whether the report it released today was the modernization report mandated by DFA.
This report was mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act, and was supposed to be released to Congress more than a year ago.
Wood said he believes that, "While it is clear that FIO Director Mike McRaith and his team have had an underlying report (and subsequent revisions) for a considerable length of time, the delay in its release is reflective of the reality that the U.S. Treasury Department has not historically or culturally been focused on issues regarding the insurance industry."
He noted that, "Several members of Congress have loudly complained about the delay, creating some minor buzz and anticipation among we professional insurance lobbyists and observers."
In a statement in advance of the hearing, the American Council of Life Insurers said that, "the significant role that life insurers play in the U.S. and global economy is dependent on an efficient regulatory structure.
"We urge that our state regulators and the FIO coordinate closely and cooperate continuously to promote efficient and effective supervision, with due regard to limitations under current U.S. state and federal laws," said Kimberly Olson Dorgan, ACLI senior vice president, public policy.
"We believe that both FIO and our state regulators must work together to assure that U.S. competitive interests are represented on par with those of our global competitors, FIO from within the U.S. government and our state regulators as participants in supervisory colleges" Dorgan said. "We support their collective efforts, as we believe close coordination and continuous cooperation on that point, both at home and abroad, is essential."
The American Council of Life Insurers said the report "represents an important contribution to the information base on this vital segment of the U.S. economy. As it relates specifically to the life insurers, the report demonstrates FIO's understanding and recognition of the financial strength of the industry and key economic issues affecting it."
ACLI felt the report was on target in identifying the low interest rate environment as a challenge to the industry, and changing demographics and growth opportunities in emerging markets representing industry trends.
"Life insurers believe they will play an even greater role in the lives of American families, especially in connection with aging Baby Boomers who are seeking financial security in retirement," ACLI said. "For more than 200 years, life insurers have been providing financial and retirement security to American families. Life insurers look forward to doing the same globally."
However, in the CIAB statement, Wood told his members that, "The CIAB believes it is essential that the U.S. insurance regulatory system needs to speak with a single voice in critical international negotiations, and believes the FIO has a critical and leading role in asserting the interests of the U.S. insurance system."

The Wedding Night We'll Never Forget
It's such a beautiful wedding… one of those "destination weddings"… and you and I are sharing a room after the big event. While your mommy is enjoying her big wedding night with your new dad, I'm in charge of you: my favorite nephew.
We're going to have so much fun together… we can do anything you want. We can stay up late… watching tons of movies… and, oh, your aunt's in such a good mood!! I just LOVE weddings: the romance, the beautiful bride, the pretty decorations, all the love, the handsome groom.
I've never had one of my own; I've never had MY special day. But that's okay… I have you.
When you just can't stop asking WHY "the wedding night" is so special and you're NOT allowed to go see your mommy in her own hotel room, well, it's obvious that I'm going to have to explain to you.
I just… never thought I'd… end up SHOWING you.

Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Around 5:00pm today (3/ 8/ 19) I was driving down McNorton on my way to a work meeting. I saw a large dog run onto the road from one of the side streets. The car in front of me hit it with such force the poor thing flew into the air & crashed back onto the road. I slammed on the brakes, already feeling in shock. The driver kept driving. I wasn't sure what to do. Stay or chase down the driver. I stayed, blocking traffic & got out. People honked. I didn't care.The dog limped back over to my side of the street. He/ she was crying/ howling. He/ she made it to the grass & layed down. I honestly didn't know what to do. 2 young girls came running & fell to the grass holding the dog & crying. A guy had his cell phone out filming the whole thing. I honestly didn't know what to do. I heard someone say they were going to call 911. Would they come for a dog? I don't know. Finally a blonde lady who had been driving from the other direction took charge & asked the girls if they wanted her to bring the dog to the vet. I moved my car & went on to my meeting, crying all the way. I've never witnessed anything more heartbreaking. For the person driving, I know it was an accident, but how could you keep driving like nothing had even happened. I can't stop thinking about it. Does anyone know what happened to the dog? Did the lady bring him to the vet? Did he make it?

If you follow us on Twitter, last Friday you will have received some very interesting tweets throughout the day and thought to yourself, 'what the hell is going on in Brighton?' Well, it was Brighton SEO, the largest SEO conference in the south and it allowed us a day to geek out about all things social media and SEO-related. So we packed our iPads, charged our smartphones and headed to the Brighton Dome for our company day trip out.
We saw a lot of great lectures from a wide variety of speakers from various fields and backgrounds; so, much like a sushi buffet (in which we partook at lunch), if you weren't so fond of one thing, another came along soon after that you would prefer. David Trott kicked things off, speaking about predatory thinking when it came to content, which may have set the bar impossibly high for those to follow. Certainly, he seemed to be the firm favourite amongst our team. However, no one was at all "bad" or boring, and notes were made for each speaker. There were a few more speakers who talked about content, which piqued the interest of our writers who regularly work on copy-writing and link-building through articles for clients. At each break we came bounding out with new ideas for the future.
Content and Building Sites For Users
Linguist professor Lynne Murphy from the University of Sussex spoke about the Americanisation of British English which was an entertaining break from so much of the heavy content and provided much needed light relief with some international banter. The English student in me yelped in delight. Martin Belam's talk on building websites for users and not search engines was a nice refresher for the team but very useful for the apprentice who has recently joined us.
Pinterest and The State of SEO
In the afternoon, we were blasted with several shorter clusters on a few more technical areas, where speakers showed off the apps and tools they had been busy creating, including one lecture by Danielle Fudge which intrigued us Pinterest-geeks quite a bit; she spoke about a great new tool her company had been working on to blow open the possibilities of Pinterest in an SEO campaign. We look forward to putting this one to the test. Jason Woodford's speech to see things out was a rousing heap of praise for the work we do in such a tough economic landscape, noting how the SEO industry was actually booming compared to pretty much every other.
We had some fun and games onstage, including scooter races, egg wars and costumes, which followed on into the evening after-party; myself and Katie had a go on the sticky bouncy castle (which sounds a bit more dodgy than it actually is) and Ashley enjoyed the tokens for free ale. Though we were all a bit boring and left early, things were in full swing, with karaoke, retro games and various imported beers.
A great day all round. We got out off the office and learned a lot which will prepare us nicely for the future, and got our creative and analytical juices flowing. Following on from this, our clients are in for a treat! Maybe next time, I would like one or two more talks about social media but that's just me; I understand that it infiltrates everyone's lives on a daily basis and there was just so much to get through.
We just wanted to give Kelvin Newman a big well done on putting together a great conference, and we look forward to the next one.

I havn't finished doing this zone because the level increased so rapidly I had to go and do quests in other zones to try and level up. I will add to this post when I have done more.
Environmnet: Reservoir area
There is a stone/marble type stairway at about 7628,8619 that is really squint. If it had fallen by subsidance, there would surely be more obvious damage to it, and some more boulders beside it etc. It looks too pristine even though the surface is cracked up on one side, all the stairs are technically intact. Not sure if more was going to be added into this or not, but it looks odd as it is.
Environment: Avendrus estate area
I noticed, when trying to find other quests in the area to test, following the fail of the last chain one, that the huge rock formations suddenly popped into existance. Rocks around this area 7655,9283 for example should be given a greater distance to spawn, because something that huge shouldn't appear so abruptly near a player, unlike smaller rocks. It is like they have been smaller rocks and just enlarged, which didn't change the distance they showed at.
Environment: Villa Orphela
Got a bit of a shock here. Level 55. Ouch.
Environment: Arkella Estate
There is a herb stuck to the side of a cage at around 8274,8962
Environment: Southwall Bunker
Gods, I had such a hard time finding the entrance to this! I was all around the place. Got lost in the commons and died from mobs, then died from falling too far and ended up porting back home and getting a port back to this area, then went into Arkella Estate thinking the entrance must be in there. No wonder its a safe haven, not even I could find the entrance for so long! Maybe there is some way to make it easier to find for the ascended without tipping off the enemy.

Imperial Sphere
The Imperial Sphere is located on the opposite side of the Galactic Core from the human based Terran Sphere. As a result it lies within the Observational Shadow of the Galactic Core isolating the Vachik from the majority of the civilized races of the Galaxy. The Sphere itself is based primarily in the Carina-Sagittarius Arm, but recent colonization extends the borders of the sphere to the Crux-Scutum Arm and the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy.

The Highway Safety Project will present its first "CarFit" event on Saturday, December 4, 2010, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Colonial Toyota in Indiana on Route 422, across from the YMCA.
The program, especially designed for drivers age sixty-five and older, will evaluate how well motorists and their vehicles work together.
Government statistics project that by 2030, one in five drivers—or 30 million Americans—will be age sixty-five or older. Statistics also show that seniors have the second highest crash death rate per mile of all age categories.
During the CarFit event, trained volunteers will lead older drivers through a twelve-point checklist with their vehicle, recommend car adjustments and adaptations, and offer community-specific resources and activities that could make their cars "fit" better or enhance their safety.
Occupational therapists also will be on hand to provide information to older drivers on how to maintain and strengthen driving health.
Volunteers include students from the Safety Sciences Department and occupational therapists from Indiana Regional Medical Center and Phoenix Rehabilitation and Health Services.
While appointments are not required, they are appreciated. To make an appointment, contact Sandra Toy, Highway Safety Project coordinator, at 724-357-4877 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The CarFit event is sponsored by the Indiana Regional Highway Safety Project, Colonial Toyota, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and AAA.
The Indiana Regional Highway Safety Project is available through a federally funded contract with IUP through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

text: Hi all! It has been a couple of years since I last visited/posted here, sorry for my absence, but I thought I would stop by to share something with whoever may be interested. It's a personal essay I wrote and published on Literotica a little while ago—where I've been spending a lot of my online time lately. It's non-fictional, autobiographical, and I know this isn't a sex-related site, but like I said, this is just my non-sexual personal essay (on being a "male lesbian") I'm talking about, so I thought, why not post it on AE? It does seem kind of appropriate...it might seem a little weird, being that I am a 31-year-old gentleman, but should anyone go read it, hopefully it can be understood where I'm coming from with it. And there are also a bunch of fictional stories I've written there, many of them lesbian-themed. So maybe someone might fancy one of those, who knows? Anyway, I'll just give you the link here (hope that's cool) to direct you to it—and I call it, very simply, "The Lebbi In Me." http://www.literotica.com/s/the-lebbi-in-me

The PEI Humane Society envisions a standard of excellence in all aspects of animal welfare and shelter care. The Expanding Our Paw Print capital campaign will help us create a safe and welcoming facility that promotes the health of the companion animals in our care and across the province.
Four Pillars of the Expanding Our Paw Print Campaign
- Ensure overall mental health and well-being of animals with leading shelter care and sustainable practices
- Promote optimal health for sheltered animals through expert facility design
- Improve companion animal wellness Islandwide by expanding services through partnerships with other animal welfare groups
- Prevent animal cruelty through increased education and community engagement
A review of our Sherwood Road facility indicates it has good bones, and a redesign would cost significantly less than a new building. That said, major renovations are needed to address concerns about air quality, temperature and animal stress.
You can help us achieve excellence in shelter care for lost and abandoned companion animals. Your gift will help us create a safe, welcoming building where our team can assess and address health and behaviour concerns and improve outcomes for all animals in our care.
Contact us today to learn more about the Expanding Our Paw Print Campaign. Naming opportunities are available. The PEI Humane Society will accept gifts of securities or real estate. Pledges to the campaign can be made up to a five year period. Contributions can be made by cheque, in person or online at www.peihumanesociety.com/pawprint.
Contact Jennifer Harkness, Development Coordinator at 902-892-1190, ext 24
You won't change the world by saving an animal but you will change that whole animal's world

Anyway, lots of confusion, lots of competition, but not a lot of concrete information to compare your own experiences with. So I thought it might be both fun and interesting to track the steps of a completely new M/M author for one year.
I chose S.C. Wynne as my guinea pig. You may have heard of her. Probably not. And that's really the point. S.C. is funny, smart and talented. She is disciplined and driven to succeed. Are those things enough? Well, we shall see over the coming months.
For our first interview with S.C. we're just going to set our baseline, as it were. Ask a few basic questions and get some advice from readers and authors alike that S.C. can put into practice -- or not. And then we can view the results. By next quarter we should even have some actual sales figures.
So here we go!
6 - Do you use a Critique Group?
7 - What do you most enjoy about writing?
9 - What are you working on right now?
10 - Describe where you think you'll be by the time we check in again next quarter?
So readers, any advice for a very new writer just dipping her toes in social media and promotion? Authors, any words of hard won experience for a wet-behind-the-ears rookie?

If there was a prize for the countries doing the most to wean themselves off fossil fuels and on to cleaner, greener energy, the UK would have to be a contender – at least on paper.
Under the previous Labour government, Britain introduced what it boasted was the world's first long-term legally binding framework to tackle climate change – the 2008 Climate Change Act.
The act requires emissions to be reduced by at least 80 per cent by 2050, compared with 1990 levels.
In line with EU targets, the UK has also agreed to boost the amount of energy it produces from renewable sources such as wind power to 15 per cent by 2020, a figure that implies about 30 per cent of electricity will have to be generated from green sources.
That is a big jump given renewables' share of electricity today is just under 10 per cent.
Big strides are already being made towards this goal in one particular area: offshore wind power, one of the most powerful forms of renewable energy so far invented.
Thanks to its shallow coastal waters, strong winds and – most importantly – relatively generous financial incentives, the UK has 2.7GW of offshore wind power capacity, more than the rest of the world combined.
That is well below its 5GW of onshore wind, and the total pales beside the 62GW of wind power China had at the end of last year, or the 47GW in the US, or the 29GW in Germany.
But it still amounts to a large amount of infrastructure investment. Offshore wind alone led to £1.5bn of investment in the 12 months to June 2012, according to RenewableUK, the wind industry trade body.
It says the UK's total wind industry has expanded by a quarter over the past two years, and now provides direct full-time employment for 12,200 people. The question is, however, how long will the UK retain this position, and is it doing its best to exploit its natural advantages?
One man with a big interest in the answer to these questions is Ian Farquhar, offshore wind development director at David Brown Gear Systems, the engineering company.
The 152-year-old Huddersfield company started life building gears for northern textile mills and ended up putting them into submarines, tanks and nuclear power plants.
Three years ago, it started building them for the massive turbines that are used in offshore wind farms.
"Wind is a small but very fast growing segment of the business," says Mr Farquhar. "So far, it's been very successful."
One of David Brown's major customers is the South Korean industrial giant Samsung Heavy Industries, which has chosen the Huddersfield company's gears for the enormous 7MW offshore wind turbine it plans to start testing in Fife.
This could be the world's largest turbine once installed and there are hopes that Samsung will eventually do what no turbine maker is doing at the moment in the UK: build a turbine at a British manufacturing plant.
That would be a big boon for David Brown, and many of the other 80-odd UK companies scattered across the country.
But for this to occur, Samsung will need to be guaranteed enough turbine orders from offshore wind developers, and it is not clear when this will happen.
In fact, there has only been one order for offshore turbines in the UK this year by the three top offshore turbine companies: Germany's Siemens; Denmark's Vestas and REpower, a German subsidiary of India's Suzlon.
Some in the industry say this is to be expected given the way the planning and consent system has been operating.
But some developers say there is an " investment freeze" because of uncertainties about the coalition government's forthcoming energy market reforms.
These reforms are designed to replace the existing system of renewable energy subsidies with a new set of long-term contracts that will also be available to nuclear power generators.
But there is concern in the industry about how workable the contracts are going to be, coupled with anxiety that George Osborne, chancellor, is trying to water down the government's green commitments at a time of economic difficulty.
Several of the world's biggest wind turbine companies, including Vestas and Siemens, recently wrote to Ed Davey, the energy secretary, warning that confusion about the government's policies "have caused us to reassess the level of political risk in the UK", which could cost thousands of new jobs.
Amid such tension, it did not help when a junior energy minister, John Hayes, suddenly declared late last month he was going to try to tackle the "extraordinary" number of wind turbines "peppered" around the country.
Mr Hayes, who was quickly slapped down by his boss, Mr Davey, was referring to onshore wind farms. Offshore plants are much less politically sensitive because they block fewer views. But any hint of a reversal of government support for the industry makes investors fret.
"It does make you nervous," said Andrew Norman, chief executive of JDR Cables, a Cambridgeshire-headquartered company that has made subsea cables for some of the UK's biggest offshore wind farms, including the London Array in the outer Thames Estuary.
"When you see these things offshore slowly churning out energy with no pollution, no emissions …in terms of providing clean and abundant energy to the UK it's clearly a no-brainer," he says.
"I understand not everyone wants one at the end of the garden but that's a different story."
Depending on how the industry grows, Mr Norman thinks his wind business could double.
At BGB Innovation in Lincolnshire, which makes components for both onshore and offshore turbines, the wind business is already helping to make business boom.
"We have been expanding by up to 40 per cent a year for the last five to eight years," says David Holt, chairman.
But Mr Holt is already noticing a big difference in the industry.
"Our best customers used to be in Europe, now business is going to Asia," he says. "You are getting the feeling the Chinese are going to pinch it all."

Seoul has so much soul and character- a totally different vibe from other Asian countries I've been to. I finally understand why friends who've been to South Korea have gone back numerous times. Once is not enough for this city of kimchi. There is just a whole lot of culture, tradition and city life that I would have wanted to immerse myself into, but given our 5-day 4-night stay, I had no other choice but to do it the tourist-way. No regrets though, I enjoyed every touristy moment and I look forward to getting a feel of the local life on my next trip.
Day 1- October 8
I met my best girl bud and travel buddy Monnette in Incheon Airport, together with Jarek and his aunt. We arrived the same day, October 8, but an hour apart. From the airport, we took the Airport Limousine No. 6002 and got off at the stop nearest our hotel- Jongno 3-ga. We paid 10,000 KRW each for the airport limousine. It was fast and very convenient.
After alighting, we reviewed the directions going to our hotel- GS Hotel. The limousine/bus stop is right in front of Lotteria Fastfood. We looked for our landmark- Shin Han Bank, located few shops before Lotteria, and turned right at the corner, walked past GS25 convenience store until we reached the second alley with a sign that says "To GS Hotel." It was only a 5-minute walk from the bus stop, which was also next to Jongno-3ga subway station, Exit 14. The hotel was recommended by Monnette's sister, Mylyn, who went in early April. The hotel exceeded my expectations- clean, great location, and budget-friendly. We paid a total of Php 17,361.58 for a triple room during our stay (or Php5,780/US$135 per person).
We checked-in at past midnight. The front desk officer gave us the portable wifi which Monnette had rented online. The internet company delivered it to our hotel. By this time, we were all famished. We left our luggage in the room and made our way to Lotteria for a quick bite.
Day 2- October 9, Palace Hopping
We slept in a bit and left the hotel at around 9:30am. We dropped by GS25 to top-up our T-money card (Subway card). Mylyn lent us four T-money cards which we loaded with 30,000 KRW- more than enough for our transportation allowance. T-card can also be used for purchasing items in convenience stores.
Our first stop was Changdeokgung Palace. We went for the 10:30am guided tour in English and the 11:30am secret garden tour. This was the second palace established after Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1395. It has a secret garden, also known as rear garden, which was built for the private use of the royal family. According to the tour guide, this palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
Our tour ended at lunch time and we headed to Insadong to meet with my dorm mate Hansol. Hansol and I stayed in the same dormitory during my university years in Taipei. We spent Thursday nights together with our Thursday dinner group. She took us to Jirisan restaurant in Insadong and enjoyed a hearty traditional Korean meal.
After lunch, we passed by Bukchon Hanok Village then walked straight to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main and the largest palace in Seoul. It was so massive that we got lost inside. We didn't make it to the 3:30pm English tour *sad face*. We entered through the back entrance of the palace and we could not find our way to the main entrance. It took us around 20 minutes to figure things out and by the time we found the gate, we were too tired. We just lined up to try on the traditional king and prince costumes and had our photos taken. We chanced upon the changing of the guards upon leaving the palace through its main gate.
Getting there:
Changdeokgung Palace, Line 3, Anguk Station, Exit 3
Bukchon Hanok Village, Line 3, Anguk Station, Exit 2
Geongbokgung Palace, Line 3, Gyeongbokgung Station, Exit 5
Jirisan Restaurant 30, Insadong 14-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Baek Jeong, 3-3 Myeongdong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul
Day 3, October 10, Everland
The whole of day 3 was spent in Everland- a land very far far far away from Seoul. I suggest taking the shuttle bus from Gangnam Station. We learned our lesson the hard way, and thus I'm sharing it now so you don't go nuts in all the subway interchange that you have to go through hahaha. Again, take the bus.
We left the hotel half past nine in the morning and arrived Everland close to lunch time. We had lunch after buying our tickets then proceeded to the various rides. We paid 37,000 KRW (using the Visit Korea coupon, original price was 46,000 KRW), roughly Php1500. Waiting time for most rides was at 60-90 minutes max so we went to those parts that didn't need much waiting- the Kpop Hologram Show, animal park, etc. Monnette was dying to try the T-express ride, known to be the world's steepest wooden roller coaster. It had a waiting time of 100 minutes. Maybe next time.
From Everland, we took a shuttle back to Gangnam. Since Gangnam is all too fancy, we hailed a cab to Myeongdong and satisfied our grumbling tummies at Gogung Bibimbap. We had some time left before calling it a day so we shopped for a bit, and tried Myeongdong's street food.
Getting there:
Everland, Line 2, Gangnam Station, Exit 6, walk to the Everland bus stop and take bus 5002 (1400 KRW, one hour ride, bus arrives every 15 minutes).
Gogung Bibimbap, 12-14 Chungmuro 2-ga,Jung-gu, Seoul
Myeondong Shopping District, Line 4, Myeongdong Station, Exit 6 or Exit 8
Day 4, October 11, Nami Island
The original plan was to take the bus from Top-gol Park to Nami, but since we called to reserve tickets only two days prior, we were told that the bus was already fully booked. Another tip: Ask the hotel to book a week or two before your planned schedule of visit. We had no other way but to take the subway from Jongno-3ga all the way to Gapyeong station. The 1.5-hour trip was not that bad. We had wifi and the scenery was nice, but I'd still prefer sitting on a bus. Upon reaching Gapyeong, we had a cab (KRW 4,000) take us to the Nami Ferry docking station. It was about 11 when we reached Nami, so we decided to have lunch at one of the dak galbi (Korean chicken rice) restaurants in the island, which came highly recommended by Monnette's friend. The dak galbi was delicious and perfect with a cold glass of Coke.
After lunch, we lined up to get our entrance tickets. Foreigners have a discounted ticket rate of KRW 8,000, but you need to show them your passport as proof. We took the ferry to get to Nami Island. For those uninitiated, Nami Island became famous after it was used as a shooting location for the Korean drama "Winter Sonata." It's quite impossible to go around the island by foot, so we queued for the electric shuttle (KRW 5,000 per head) and had a good tour of the place. We rented a bicycle and biked around the island. We left at 4:00pm and headed back to Seoul using the same route- cab to Gapyeong station, then subway all the way to Jongno-3ga to meet with my other Korean friend Sunmi for dinner.
Sunmi brought us to this restaurant famous for samgyetang, the famous Korean ginseng chicken soup. I forgot to ask for the English name of the restaurant because Sunmi and I kept on chatting and reminiscing our good old days in Zheng Da (our school in Taipei). Studying abroad gives you so many friends from all over the world and traveling allows you to see them once again, and look back on those crazy times. After dinner, Sunmi treated us to Ediya where we had coffee and waffles- the typical coffee shop scene in all of Seoul. Sunmi said Ediya is her favorite among all local coffee shop chains in Seoul. I could tell why, I loved Ediya's mint mocha!
Getting there:
Nami Island is one bus-ride away from downtown Seoul. Purchase tickets in advance (through your hotel) and take the bus at Pagoda Top-Gol Park, Jamsil Station Exit 4. Alternatively, you can take the subway and get off at Gapyeong Subway Station, approximately 1.5 hours. From Gapyeong Station, you may take the shuttle bus to Nami Ferry or get a cab.
Day 5, October 12, Myeongdong Cathedral, Trick Eye Museum, NSeoul Tower
After a light breakfast at CBTL from across the cathedral, we proceeded to the Trick Eye Museum. I don't know if it was a blessing from the highest heavens but before entering the museum, we saw a studio where we can have our photos taken wearing hanbok, the traditional Korean dress. This was on our Day 2 of the itinerary, but because we didn't have time to look for the studio in Insadong, we took it as a sign that perhaps it's not meant to be. But Day 5 came and tadaaaaa...
The photo session at Goguan Studio inside the Trick Eye Museum costs KRW 30,000 for a single 4R shot and 2 wallet-sized snaps. There's a different package if you want to have a full make-up on. We opted to just go au natural because we don't have much time and $$$. This is probably one of the happiest highlights of our trip! After the photo session, we bought tickets and went to the Trick Eye Museum (KRW 12,000 using discount coupon, originally KRW 15,000). We spent a good 30 minutes of our time taking photos and making fun of ourselves.
After Hongdae, we wanted to shop for local grocery items in Lotte Mart, but upon reaching Lotte, we were told that they were closed that day- that day of all days. But anyway, we hurried to our last destination, the NSeoul Tower. We intended to take the cable car, but upon seeing the line, we gave up and just took the shuttle to the top. From the shuttle station, we still had to hike before we reach the grounds of the tower. We snapped a couple of shots and decided not to go up the observatory deck because the line at the ticket counter was spiralling like crazy. By 5:00pm, we got back to the hotel, freshened up, and went to the airport limousine bus stop across Lotteria. At exactly 6:15pm, bus 6002 arrived and we handed KRW 10,000 to the driver. You can still use your T-card if the balance is enough. We got to sleep inside the bus and more importantly, rest our feet.
Myeongdong Cathedral, Line 4, Myeongdong Station, Exit 4
Trick Eye Museum, Line 2, Hongik University Station, Exit 9
Lotte Mart, Line 1, Seoul Station, Exit 1
NSeoul Tower, Line 3, Chungmuro Station, Exit 2, take yellow bus #2 in from of Daehan Cinema and get off at NSeoul Tower stop. It is easier to take the shuttle, instead of walking from Myeongdong to Namsam Cable Car Station, unless you want to experience riding the cable car.
Seoul was an adventure, a race against time. It was daunting for first timers like us, but it was truly enjoyable. It will help if you do research about the places that you want to visit, the schedule of the English tours, addresses, subway exits etc. because it will save you time, money, and energy. Download the Jihachul app, or the more user-friendly Explore Seoul Subway app. Print discount coupons of entrance fees and cosmetic brands in the Visit Korea website.
Get advice from friends who have visited the place, and try to see which part of their itineraries will suit you best, and which won't. Purchasing T-Money cards is also very convenient. Koreans in general are very helpful, based on our experience. They will offer to help, or even call the establishment that you wish to go to and ask for directions. Language barrier will not be a big problem. The younger ones do speak English, or if you're Chinese and can speak Mandarin, you'll never get lost in Myeongdong or Insadong. Some Koreans who work in the restaurants and shops that we went to spoke to me in Mandarin, and I found it easier to converse with them.
Monnette took Cebu Pacific flight to Korea which she scored on sale for only Php 7,000+, while I took Scoot Air from Taipei for about NT$10,000+. For details on Korean visa application in Manila, I would highly recommend visiting fellow blogger Kristine's blog on her step-by-step guide to obtaining a visa.
Kamsamnida, Seoul! We will be back again, perhaps in spring or autumn. Saranghaeyo with all my heart, mind, and Seoul!
