'Cruz Missile' Lifts Off With New Hedge Fund
Harriet Agnew, of Financial News, reports:
Zoe Cruz, the former Morgan Stanley fixed-income banker whose direct style and profit-machine status earned her the nickname Cruz missile, has finally lifted off with her own hedge fund, Voras Capital Management.
Cruz, who has been fund raising for nine months, has raised $200 million in total for Voras, according to people close to the firm, and has established two separate funds. One, a global macro strategy, is run by Cruz herself; the other, a credit opportunities fund, is managed by Ellen Brunsberg, who previously ran Morgan Stanley's European securitised products group.
Cruz declined to comment.
The firm has set up offices in New York and Hong Kong, and is waiting for approval from the Financial Services Authority for a London office that Brunsberg will run. Voras Capital Management was incorporated in the U.K. in January. Voras – the Greek word for "north" – is the name of a mountainous area near the town in Greece where Cruz was born.
Cruz has hired a number of former Morgan Stanley staffers, including Philip Newcomb, who was co-head of interest rates and currencies. He is chief operating officer at Voras in New York.
In London, Voras has hired David Irving, who was co-head of the European mortgage trading desk at Morgan Stanley, and Justin Worrall, who ran the bank's European residential mortgage-backed securities structuring and analytics group. The pair had previously set up a boutique advisory firm together called Tenbank.
The Hong Kong office is led by Jialin Liu, who previously ran Morgan Stanley's Asian sales and trading business.
Cruz spent 25 years at Morgan Stanley, becoming co-president in 2006. That year she earned a $30 million pay packet. She left in November 2007, after a unit that reported to Cruz lost $4 billion in subprime real-estate investments.
The launch of Voras comes at a time when the number of new hedge fund launches is on the rise. In the first quarter of this year there were 254 new funds, compared with 784 for the whole of last year, according to data provider Hedge Fund Research.
Last year, Roc Capital and Saba Capital each kicked off with over $1bn. Both are run by former Deutsche Bank traders. Tony Chedraoui, a former portfolio manager at Deephaven Capital Management, raised $1.6bn for the November launch of Tyrus Capital. Former Goldman Sachs Group head of principal strategies Pierre-Henri Flamand is expected to launch Edoma Capital in November with more than $1 billion.
However, prime brokers said fund raising remains tough and overall launch sizes are smaller than pre-crisis levels.

In Australia, and around the world, momentum trading generates economically and statistically significant profits. This paper documents seasonalities in momentum profitability rather than examining returns averaged across all months. We report a strong reversal around the financial year end and apparent quarter-end seasonality in momentum profits. Preliminary tests support the hypothesis that seasonality in quarterly equity returns is driven by window dressing by institutional investors.

On Wednesday 8th June children from primary schools across Portsmouth had their first taste of opera at the New Theatre Royal, with the internationally-acclaimed vocalist Melanie Gall and 'Tilly the opera mouse'.
30 children, aged between 7 and 11 years old, took part in workshops exploring a range of singing and performance skills, before Melanie Gall took to the stage to perform her one-woman show.
Using glove puppets, she told the story of Tilly Mouse who lives under an opera house. Tilly's dream is to perform on stage, but whenever anybody sees her they scream and run away. With determination, imagination, and help from her friends, Tilly proves that even a mouse can be a star.
The children, who share a passion for singing, heard songs and arias from several operas during the performance, including Gianni Schicchi, Carmen and The Magic Flute.
Sue Beckett, CEO of Portsmouth Music Hub which organised the event, said: "The children's confidence grew throughout the workshops, where they had the chance to develop their performance and singing skills, and it's been a really exciting opportunity for the children to experience opera for the first time. Seeing the children's enthusiasm and confidence proves that the arts have an important part to play in our young people's education."
After the event Ethan Maniebo, aged 11 from St. Paul's Primary School, said: "It was a good experience and I learnt a lot of new things. I really like the acting and singing. It was brilliant and I didn't realise I could sing opera."

When BECU finally launched their Windows Phone app on Windows Phone 8 OS, I was really excited because I could deposit checks from my phone and check my account balances on the go. When Windows 10 Mobile launched, the app was still available for download as a legacy application, but it is now very slow and crashes when attempting to perform mobile check deposit. I've submitted feedback through the feedback mechanism within the app, and have not seen any progress or even indication that a fix is coming for months. Please fix the Windows 10 Mobile app.
No response... do you care about customers on Windows Mobile?

I have some sewing related incidents - not as many as I would have liked, so let's press on and talk about it!
First off, 'me made' clothes. The majority of the clothes that I took were ones made by me, and I blogged about it here. I did not get to wear them as much as I thought as some of the days were cooler than anticipated and I had to wear a pair of (badly fitting) RTW jeans. Here are a few combinations though:
And yes, I do have toes on my left foot! Most of the photos show me wearing Sorbetto tops, summer skirts, and some shapely blouses. And yes, I know. The photos were taken to show off the scenery rather than my clothes . . . . but at least you get to see that the 'wardrobe' worked really well!
Interestingly, the very first photo (or two) shows a skirt that I love. And now seeing it in the print makes me realize that the lovely polite comments that I have received from you all are actually quite correct. I should be wearing shorter skirts . . . . I foresee some time taking up hems in my future!! Thank-you!
So, purchases. Of course, as I was flying, weight was an issue. But do you know how lightweight silk is?
These two lengths will make some lovely shells (oh, who am I kidding? I will make Sorbetto's with them!) to wear under jackets. And look at the gorgeous bags they come in:
They were from a lovely shop in Adelaide called Eastern Silk. Look what I could have bought:
I also visited a quilt shop called Country Bliss in Alice Springs to purchase some fabrics in traditional (and some not so traditional!!) aboriginal prints. They will be used to make box bags. Perfect!
And from the lovely ladies from A Quilters Odyssey I got a couple of fun patterns and some gorgeous variegated thread that I will have fun using!
Phew, that was a longer post than anticipated. I now have lots of other blogs to read and comment on - unfortunately a lot of the hotels we stayed in had minimal internet connectivity - a massive hardship for this 'intertubes' junkie! I also need to plan for Fall. Exciting times!

Seriously though, I've been trying to find a natural deodorant that actually works for months now...
After trying more crystals and sticks than I care to mention, I narrowed it down to two contenders. First up, the Shark Tank wunderkind, PiperWai which came to my attention thanks to a natural beauty-obsessed friend of mine. And then there's Soapwalla. A brand I became familiar with after several accurately-targeted Instagram ads and then a little friendly back-and-forth with the brand reps.
Did either work? Did I ever get comfortable with the concept of a deodorant cream? Can you think of any other questions I should ask here? Ok, me either, let's get to the video:

Aldon Smith, 49ers get stern warning as minicamp ends
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — As if this tumultuous offseason hadn't already been enough of a reminder to the pitfalls of fame and misbehavior, San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh sent his players off for summer vacation with one final piece of advice Thursday.
"Beware with whom you associate," Harbaugh said.
"Very important to know your surroundings. Friend or foe? There always seems to be a foe present."
Harbaugh didn't specify an event that led to his remarks, but he could have been alluding to a number of events in recent months, from linebacker Aldon Smith's multiple incidents to a sexual assault investigation involving quarterback Colin Kaepernick, from which he was ultimately cleared without any charges or an arrest.
It's also been a tough offseason for personnel matters, starting with rumors (that the 49ers steadfastly denied) in February that the team had looked into trading Harbaugh to the Cleveland Browns. And two high-profile players who are unhappy with their contracts, tight end Vernon Davis and starting right guard Alex Boone, chose to skip offseason workouts, including the mandatory minicamp.
No wonder Harbaugh already has his bags packed for his annual missionary trip to Peru.
Harbaugh was upbeat Thursday, rattling through a long list of players he believed had excelled during the offseason program and minicamp and boasting about the 59 players who had perfect attendance over the past nine weeks. Each of those players left the facility with a certificate and a black T-Shirt with "The 49er Way" emblazoned on the back in gray letters.
It was all part of Harbaugh's quest to put the focus back on football, and a quiet conclusion to the offseason would certainly help when the full squad is back in Santa Clara on July 24.
Now it's up to the players to make that quiet happen.
Kaepernick agreed with Harbaugh's message, and it reinforces what he said he's learned since a woman accused him of assault this spring. Police in Miami found no evidence of any crime.
The incident made Kaepernick more guarded, and certainly more cautious, about whom he allows to get close to him.
"You want to keep good people around at all times, regardless of where you're at," Kaepernick said.
Smith didn't take Harbaugh's message personally.
"He was talking to everybody, because anybody can be in a situation," Smith said.
Smith was among the most energetic and active players during the minicamp, but he faces an uncertain future. Smith will be sentenced July 25 after he pleaded no contest to DUI and felony weapons charges last month. He could receive as many as four years in jail, and he could receive additional punishment from the NFL.
Smith's sentencing hearing comes two days after he's set to report to training camp.
"I don't know what's going to happen. I'm going to enjoy my month," Smith said.
That means staying in northern California, working out, and hanging out with his 11/2-year-old son.
The 49ers have spent the spring preparing as if Smith will be available this season and beyond. In May, the team picked up the fifth-year option on Smith's contract for 2015.
Whether he plays in September is up to a Santa Clara County judge, as well as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "That's to be determined," Harbaugh said.
What about Smith's Niners teammates? They'll be there if they just listen to their coach.
"Get into a good football position and be ready for anything that's coming at you. Be able to see around corners, see under doors, anticipate," Harbaugh said. "But mainly, surround yourself with good people."

Thanks to Lillian from #dVerse Poetics Pub for hosting last week's prompt on Windows, looking in and looking out,.
Here I stand, watching the sea, in and out,
The tide flows, paces itself in and out.
Though I should be outside in the surf's shout.
Quiet of the indoors keeps me about.
At grande window stopped, my mind with such doubt.
Wrapping my sweater tightly thinking long,
Of days gone by, the future's pull, a song.
Watching boats sail by, sea birds diving flout,
Captured fish, tiny sea creatures, I pause.
Unsure where to start, where to go, no hint —
Of what lies before me, from the before.
So I wait, I wander, I wait for you, flaws —
And all; unsure if you were a dream or —
Some hopeful vision, what we could become.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2011 (3160 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Millions of North Americans are suddenly aware of potassium iodide (KI) since Japan's nuclear plants started spewing out radioactive material. But how much will PI protect us from radioactive particles? Who should take it and who should not?
During a nuclear explosion or meltdown, radioactive iodine (I-131) enters the atmosphere and has a malignant effect on the thyroid gland.
The thyroid normally obtains iodine from iodized salt and shellfish to produce the hormone thyroxin. This hormone acts much like the accelerator of a car, controlling heart rate, temperature and energy level. Too much of it causes hyperthyroidism and too little hypothyroidism.
But the thyroid gland isn't particular where it obtains iodine. It also has no way of distinguishing between radioactive I-131 from normal iodine. So when radioactive I-131 enters the atmosphere, the thyroid takes what's offered and absorbs I-131 as well.
Fortunately, potassium iodide is extremely effective against I-131 and works as a blocking agent. PI quickly saturates the thyroid with ample amounts of good iodine, leaving no room for radioactive I-131.
But what doesn't potassium iodide do? There's a general misconception among the public PI will protect the entire body from radiation. It doesn't. Rather, PI's role is to prevent the development of thyroid malignancy and has no effect on preventing other cancers. Nor does it have any power to prevent radioactive material from entering the body, or to nurse an injured thyroid gland or other glands back to normal.
Unfortunately, there's no magic radiation antidote, the be-all-and-end-all, to protect us from all forms of radiation exposure. Nor does PI strengthen our immune system against radioactive material.
From a personal standpoint, I have a major interest in nuclear fallout as I live in Toronto, a relatively short distance from Pickering's nuclear plant. So should I rush out and purchase potassium iodide? To find out, I called several pharmacies to see if I could purchase PI. I was in for a few surprises.
Some pharmacists replied they were not certain if a doctor's prescription was needed, others said it was. At the end of many calls, none had PI capsules to sell, with or without a prescription. But PI could be ordered and this would take two days. So if Pickering blew up while I was writing this column I would be in deep doo-doo. There are just too many unanswered questions to do me much good.
Sources in the U. S. told me some states have stockpiles of PI. But no terrorist worth his salt is going to announce the date of an attack. Nor will there be any advance warning if an earthquake strikes Pickering. Moreover, PI should be taken two hours before exposure to I-131. In the confusion and terror that strikes following a radioactive blowout, it's highly unlikely people would get this protection handed to them.
People who have an allergy to iodine or shellfish should not take PI. And it's vital to never consume tincture of iodine. This could be fatal. The poison warning on the bottle is there for a good reason.
For the moment it appears radioactive material is not going to cross the Pacific from Japan. Let's hope no one in the west has to face radioactive material. But if it does happen, we will all need more than PI. In addition to I-131, a nuclear disaster emits 400 other radioactive particles to contaminate the air, food and water that could end our lives. So just hope you're at the North Pole with a southerly wind blowing.

Wendy's tries to undo harm from chili claim
Woman held, charged with $2.5 million attempt at extortion
By John Schmeltzer
Tribune staff reporter
Wendy's International Inc. on Friday said it will focus on rebuilding its reputation after a San Jose, Calif., woman who claimed she found a fingertip in a bowl of chili she ordered was charged with attempted grand theft.
The Columbus, Ohio-based hamburger chain said it was "thrilled" and "vindicated that an arrest had been made."
Las Vegas police on Friday were holding 39-year-old Anna Ayala without bail pending a Tuesday extradition hearing on a charge of attempted grand larceny. Prosecutors are accusing her of trying to extort $2.5 million from Wendy's. She also faces charges of grand larceny in connection with an unrelated real estate case.
The $100,000 reward Wendy's offered for information regarding the chili tampering on March 22 will not be distributed while police continue searching for the source of the 1 1/2-inch fingertip.
Ayala is being held without bail in Las Vegas pending a Tuesday extradition hearing. She is charged with attempted grand larceny in connection with an effort to allegedly extort $2.5 million from Wendy's and grand larceny in connection with an unrelated real estate case.
Losses suffered by the hamburger chain could be in the millions as it tries to determine how widespread fallout from the tampering case at one San Jose restaurant will be.
"We're still trying to assess to full impact," said Bob Bertini, a spokesman for Wendy's, who said the losses have been severe in the San Francisco Bay area. Sales have fallen by more than 50 percent at some of the chain's Bay Area restaurants, he said.
Bertini said Wendy's will reach out to customers in the 50 San Francisco-area stores beginning Saturday, offering free Junior Frosties and coupons. In addition, he said a deli-style sandwich will be tested in the San Francisco area to lure customers back to the restaurants, where some employees have been laid off and others have had their hours cut.
"The unfortunate thing was that Wendy's and its franchisees have been a victim of this situation," said Bertini. "And our employees are suffering because of it."
Still, crisis management experts said that Wendy's was doing too little to protect its reputation during the incident.
"There are things they should have done to keep people coming back to the restaurants," said Steven Fink, president of Lexicon Communications Corp. in Pasadena, Calif.
Fink handled crisis management issues for the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound off the coast of Alaska in 1989, the meltdown of the reactor at Three Mile Island in 1979 and the deaths and illness suffered by patrons of Jack in the Box restaurants a decade ago.
He said Wendy's should be copying Pat & Oscar's, a Southern California restaurant chain that served 55,000 people free meals over three days after an E. coli bacteria incident sickened hundreds. The response was an effort to assure residents that the restaurants were safe.
"And they failed to take any steps to assure their customers that it was safe to eat at Wendy's," said Fink.
"In the pitched battle between perception and reality, perception always wins. The perception was it was not safe to eat at Wendy's. Giving away milkshakes and coupons does not tell people Wendy's is a safe place to eat," he said.
Even on Friday, the chain relied upon the Santa Clara County district attorney's office to declare it safe to eat at Wendy's.
"America should go back to eating at Wendy's," said an assistant district attorney.

Some earlier food scam attempts
Many people have tried to make a few bucks by planting dangerous items in food and drink, and some of them have landed in jail. Here are a few recent cases:
- 1988: An unemployed construction worker in Jacksonville, Fla., claimed he found a mouse in a can of Coors beer. He later apologized, pleaded guilty to extortion and product tampering and got 18 months in prison.
- 1993: Pepsi received a complaint that a consumer found a hypodermic needle in a can of Diet Pepsi. The claim generated copycat claims from about half of the continental U.S. in which people claimed finding a bullet, screws and even a crack-cocaine vial. Ultimately, dozens of people were arrested. Five days into the crisis, Pepsi shot film in its bottling plant that showed nothing could be inserted into a can in the manufacturing process. After showing the tape, Pepsi took out newspaper ads that read: "Pepsi is pleased to announce ... nothing. As America now knows, those stories about Diet Pepsi were a hoax."
- 1997: Michael Zanakis, a New York physician, was convicted of attempting to extort $5 million from McDonald's Corp. He was convicted of taking a rat's tail from the laboratory where he worked, deep-frying it and inserting it into some Happy Meal french fries he purchased for his son. He was given a sentence of 30 months.
- 2004: A mother and her son are accused of falsely claiming they found a mouse in the soup served to them at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Virginia Beach, Va., in an attempt to extort $500,000 from the restaurant. They are awaiting trial.

When you're in your twenties you feel like you are invincible! You've got a good 60+ years of good times ahead of you. Nothing's going to happen to you anytime soon, so why worry about getting life insurance?
Insured or invincible? Why you need life insurance in your 20s….
Although you may feel like you are invincible in your 20s, here's a few things to consider:
1.Pay a lower premium
If you take out a life insurance policy when you're young, fit and healthy you have the ability to lock in the price (a level premium). By not getting life insurance when you are young and healthy, you run the risk of paying a higher premium. Some health issues will cause a loading in the price, a specific health exclusion, or worst case the insurer will decline the policy. A level premium can add up to a significant saving long term.
2. Pay off debt
You may have significant personal debt, or even a home loan that you have co-signed with a family member. By not taking out a Life insurance policy to at least cover the amount of your debts, you could be putting a family member into hardship.
3. Peace of mind
Making sure you're covered now, gives you that assurance that if something were to happen now or down the track you have the protection in place. You might not have a mortgage right now, or be married with kids, but you never know what health issues you may have in the future that will cause you to be declined for life insurance.
Setting up life insurance in your twenties could be the best investment you ever make.

This is really a very Great feeling when we have a video with a `living relic` of an old engine that is dated more than half a century ago, listening to that Hilarious sound that it produces once you start the ignition. So we have prepared a video of an old Detroit Diesel 453-T engine, that is obviously awaken after a long time and has a little bit of hard time `adjusting to the new time`. And if you are also cultivating special feelings towards the Detroit Diesel engines of the past, I think that you are going to fully enjoy it, even though everything does not go as planned and wanted.Detroit offers a complete line of heavy duty diesel engines, axles, transmissions, safety systems and telematics products for the commercial transportation industry in both the on-highway and vocational markets.

"Anna May did a great job selling our rental property. When I first met her, I found her to be very personable. After choosing her as our realtor she went to work quickly. She is very knowledgeable and responsive. When she says she's going to do something, she does it very soon. She's always ready to answer questions and let you know what the next steps will be. Selling a property can be very stressful. We were very happy to have Anna May as our realtor. I highly recommend her!"

Cities whose power comes from the sun must grow into these organic shapes. Homes cling like fungus to tall, fat stalks, and solar panels stretch awkwardly open above each neighborhood.
These concept designs are by TROPICOOL @ KL, and emulate the several layers of a tropical forest, with the canopy flying high over the rest of the damp flora and fauna. The idea is that cities of the future might create mini-ecosystems based on ones found in nature. According to Inhabitat:
The structure's circular tops are composed of miniature solar panels that provide a power source while mimicking the process of photosynthesis that takes place in rainforest canopies. Scattered throughout the branches of the mushroom tops are dwellings modeled after the Malaysian [style].
These energy-generating skyscraper neighborhoods look like high-density housing for a future world of high performance buildings that generate their own power - and their own food supplies too.

Peg n Play
Shadows or Dust or Dark Matter
Whatever it is called!
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is extremely fantastic! I don't mean fantastic as in brilliant. I mean exactly what the word means. It's fantasy. It's nothing to connect with. May be John Milton's paradise lost has been retold I do not know. But I do feel that it was a child's version of Lord of the Ring, with the subtle knife being the ring.
Do all fantasies have a world of the dead/land of the dead/river of the dead?
Anyway it was a neat story. It was neatly set and nicely written. It had all the characters required: Lord Asriel with all this power and pride, Mrs. Coulter with all her beauty and cunningness, Irogek the huge bear, etc. Of course not to mention the righteous Will Parry and his wise father Shaman John Parry, and I could go on.
A few things that caught my attention (apart from all the worlds described):
Mrs. Coulter needs a better name. Anyone named Mrs. Coulter can't both be charming and cunning. She needs to choose one.
Mr. Scoresby and his description made me feel like he was LaunchPad of Tales Spin. Of course I found it difficult to imagine when he so bravely fights off the Muscovites for John Parry.
Serafina Pekkala is too hilarious a name, especially her second name.
I found it extremely hilarious for Lyra to name the harpy in the word of the dead as 'Gracious Wings' with such seriousness and wisdom!
I loved Pan!
Most of all I loved the mulefa and Atal, and their ingenious idea of the wheel!
I was disappointed waiting for the entire trilogy for a twist in the end that would include Will's mother. May be she could see the Dust, which is why she seeing invisible things! Or maybe she was a witch who lost her way in our world and her daemon is confused so she gets confused and speaks to her daemon which people in our world don't understand.
PS: Please note that I have only read The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. I have not read The Golden Compass (Northern Lights is better; doesn't sound like a thing). I do wonder though why the three books are named after a material THING, which an added adjective that tries to sound mysterious and virtuous at the same time and fails miserably at both
Also note that the two previous posts containing gibberish arise from aftermath of reading the trilogy. Now sleep eludes me and I must be off. Bust fear not for I shall return with more words from my pensive mood. And that is a promise which I shall not break!
And now you know why I laugh J
It's a weird feeling when you know that particular blog posts would get particular responses from particular people and you do not get them.
It's a bit disappointing and a bit unsettling.
And after that if you find that the particular people have not been up in their own blog as well, it becomes increasing unsettling till it takes to a scare.
Unsettling is the perfect word for it.
Update: One of them is back on the blog; after a month's gap
I think 'nostalgia' came about people tried to name the strange nausea that arises out of memories that stay. Hmmm, in that case it should have been nostrangia. Now this just sounds like anger coming through nostrils.
Oh well! Nostalgia it is then. A stale stagnant nausea caused by memories. I call it stale because the memories are old (obviously), and stagnant because the memory (the fact) doesn't change. Or at least we think it doesn't. Only God should know how gracefully we bent and polish and smoothen and manipulate each fact in our memory to suit our whims and fancies.
I have some memories of my very early childhood. When I say very early it is about that of 2 years. Now that is not possible isn't it? Well it isn't. I realized as I grew up that I have a brilliant imagination and that I can draw a picture of almost every word I say or hear1. Hence, I created my own memories.
But there are some memories I have that are clear and accurate. And they are so real sometimes it hurts they aren't really real. When I feel these memories fading away, even the tiniest detail, I panic and decide to memorize every inch of the picture (or video) in my mind's eye so that I never forget that is dear to me. My dear memories!
But sometimes I wonder if only I didn't have memories. You know like the exponential distribution. There would be not joy from the past, no pain of the past, no regrets, no vengeance, no learning of course. We could just live in the present and hope for a good future. And we would not be afraid because we never knew what it is to be afraid. We probably would not be so happy either. But we'll be curious, which is a nice feeling.
But what if we became like goldfish? Aimless, memoryless, wandering…
We'd be just 'lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after, year. Running around the same old ground, what have we found?'
And if we had memories, we'd say 'wish you were here'2
1. This is needs a lot of creativity since an oral version of anything will only describe the main segments. The background has to be carefully colored to add to the picture. And mind you, every single detail in perfect in my pictures, including the pattern on the sari of a woman say or the type of birds in the sky)
2. The post sprung out of the thoughts from listening to Wish You Were Here3. This song always strings up to my memories and descends sadness upon me reminding me of people I miss, many and various in stages.
3.4 I do not listen to this song often. My favorite will always be Coming Back to Life even though High Hopes competes with it fiercely.
4. Am I allowed to have a superscript to explain within an explanation of a superscript? (This one goes one more tab to the right than the previous one, like a C program very everything within one curly bracket is maintained a particular tab spacing before the start of the line5)
5. I should have never read The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time. I picked up with digression from there. The book calls it digression. I call it voicing my flow of thought.

About Love
On the first page of the book there is a description of 'the class' and 'the teacher'. It was obviously written to attract any reader. But I found the description somewhat misleading. The description of 'the class' can be stated as grossly wrong. And if I were the author, I would feel hurt about such descriptions.
The publisher should have taken care of that. However much one would like to spice it up it must not be 'wrong'.
The Curious Little Book
I call it 'curious' because the dictionary defines the word curious as being strange or unexpected and the book is both strange and unexpected.
I call it 'little' because it is short and in big print and in easy language and from a boy's point of view.
I call it 'book' because it was after printed in a book form even though it is a book like no other with chapters numbered with prime numbers instead of consecutive.
I articulate it with 'the' since it is a particular book that I m referring to and not any random book.
This particular book I m referring to is titled "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time", written by Mark Haddon.
It is written in a weird style from the point of view of a fifteen year old boy, Christopher who suffers from Asperger's. I should probably not say 'suffers' because he doesn't. He is happy with himself understanding numbers and dogs (since they have only four emotions), and not understanding human beings, disliking yellow and brown and crowded, noisy or strange places and people, and liking red.
I liked the book for the spirit in which it is written. The story itself isn't that great but it is the writing. And of course for the fact that it has an extremely strange yet interesting appendix (it contains a problem and its solution from an A level math exam) J
One God and the Others
I think after "The Alchemist" and "The Zahir" I would vote for "The Fifth Mountain" (though my mother would go about it in the reverse order). It was a grown up fairytale, beautifully written and inspiring.
At first I thought it was a retelling of a story so old. But Paulo Coelho's style of writing is unique. The emphasis is on the truths of life rather than on the story. The can be really seen in the final chapter of the book where he describes the story quickly and finishes it off when I expected any other writer to describe it in detail. But for Coelho it is not required since he already conveyed the message he intended to when he started with this book.
But I believe this is the only book which is not really autobiographical (of course Veronika was not himself but yet it was a real woman called Veronika).
But now I must find "The Manual of the Warrior of Light" which is mentioned in this book.
Want of Books
I feel sad for leaving behind in Calcutta a few good books that I could do with right now.
Having undergone a surgery last Saturday (for correction of myopia; usually referred to as laser surgery; for all concerned, I m fine now) I was to stay away from TV and computer as much as I can and of course not go out too much to avoid dust for a few days. This led me to read books.
I have read three books and am reading my fourth. Hence I have 3 reviews (my sorta reviews I mean) pending.
But the books I have left with me now are not that attractive to me and I wish I brought India After Gandhi with me to Hyd because I can't think of a better time to read it than now since it is very long and boring but worth the read and I would probably never get this kind of time to sit down and read.
Or maybe I should have brought with me "The Case of the Exploding Mangoes".
It's just that I m reading "The Subtle Knife" by Philip Pullman. It is the 2nd book in a trilogy. I have the 3rd book but not the 1st. It seems a little interesting but definitely childish!
A Journey worth watching
A young man, who resents being stuck to selling hair oil made by his father with no hope of success, takes on a journey for the thirst of doing something new and going somewhere new.
Following a road on a truck which is an antique moving cinema he picks up on his way an irritating boy who used to work at a teashop and knows more about life than the man does, an elderly mechanic who has learnt to takes the hardships in life with a smile and an attractive gypsy woman. Together they encounter the police, the dacoits, a mela and finally, 'finality'. All of them, the people and the incidents, teach him about life, to live and let live.
He returns just as he left, alone, but much wiser and happier. Just like any other road movie (a genre of film).
It was a thoroughly enjoyable film.
The part I liked the best is the title: Road, Movie

The council have used millions of pounds of tax payers money already to get to this stage and will not quit until they see their project completed .ReplyDelete
To use the leeds tax payers money on preparation of such a project against the will of those people is a act of treason not only against the residants of the local ward but of the whole of leeds population .
To then essentially go onto borrow money against the future of leeds to build the project so a private company can run it and make profit is in my view a clear case of extortion .

Used Rolex Submariner
Divers, sailors, and basically anyone who is in or around water need a timepiece that can withstand a lot of pressure and is watertight. Rolex provided such a timepiece with the ever-present Rolex Submariner. The Rolex Submariner was first introduced by Rolex in 1954 and is known for its resistance to water and pressure and is viewed as a classic in the Rolex community. This amazing watch is waterproof up to a depth of 1000 feet which allows it to sustain thousands of dives and not fail once. The mystique of this model is evident everywhere you look. The watch was featured in eleven James Bond movies giving it a popular appeal not seen in any other Rolex model.
Used Rolex Submariner
The Submariner watch by Rolex has been a pinnacle piece of many famous voyages and expeditions. In one such voyage, the Moana expedition, the watch stood over a thousand dives. Thor Heyerdahl a world-famous Norwegian marine biologist and anthropologist used the Submariner on his Ra II expedition during which he sailed a boat similar to those constructed by the ancient Egyptians across the Atlantic Ocean to South America to prove that the Egyptians could have done this to share their pyramid building technologies with Ancient civilizations in South America. This watch was also used in various Antarctic expeditions where it withstood extreme cold temperatures and still functioned perfectly.
This extremely popular watch has been seen on the wrists of some of the most famous people in the world. From the swashbuckling Johnny Depp to the pop icon Lindsay Lohan it seems that his watch reaches every spectrum of pop culture. The Used Rolex Submariner even goes as far as basketball coaching legend Mike Krzyzewski, iconic musician Bruce Springsteen, and communist ruler Fidel Castro. It seems that if your powerful, popular, or both this watch is a must own.
So if you Google searched "Used Rolex Submariner for sale" or "Sell Used Submariner" browse our used Rolex watches or give us a call at 1 (800) 494-3708 and we would be happy to answer any of your questions.

At our dental office, we believe your overall oral health care is an invaluable investment that lasts a lifetime. You shouldn't have to weigh insurance coverage or climb financial obstacles in order to obtain premium dental health care.
All dental insurances are different. Since we deal with dental insurances everyday, we understand first hand that dental insurance is sometimes complicated and can be confusing to our patients. We will do our best to calculate what your insurance will pay when you schedule treatment but we will not guarantee coverage. On occasion, your dental insurance may not cover treatments due to stipulations in your dental insurance contract agreement. If you have any questions, please contact our front office staff.
Our office currently accepts the following types of payments: Cash, Checks, American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Discover.
Our office is more than happy to offer financing options to our patients. We understand that a payment plan can sometimes be the best option for patients who need to get the treatment they need now. Everyone's finances are different but we are confident that we can find a payment plan that will fit affordably into your monthly budget. We are proud to offer the following financing options:
Dental Passport (In-house savings plan)
In an effort to help minimize the cost of quality dental care, we have created a Dental Benefit Plan for those who do not have dental insurance. This savings plan will make it more affordable to access the dental care you need.Please use this explanation on separate page where you click on first page for details.
Adult Dental Plan includes
Children's & Periodonal Dental Plans also available.

We look forward to serving you!

In 2008 we decided it was time to move from Poole in Dorset on the south coast and relocate to the north. The purpose of the move was primarily to be nearer our families and then a job opportunity arose in the north which would mean less travelling for me me and Phil would also be in a position to pick up more restoration and church work at the Albion Glass studio. After much searching for the ideal place, we found Armathwaite and we knew without a doubt, this was where we wanted to be.
Phil started working 1 week in Cumbria and 3 weeks in Dorset while the house was on the market. Being 370 miles apart was difficult and so Phil painted a small watercolour incorporating themes of moving north to Armathwaite in the Eden Valley and returns to Eden as a focus for positive energy.
It took a year for the right house to find us. With all our ducks in a row and planets aligned, the house was finally sold and we began our own return to Eden.
Each year the swallows make their incredible long haul flight from Africa and return to Eden, reminding us that summer is in its way. Last year we spotted the first to return on 12th April.
The river Eden is at the heart of Armathwaite and each year the salmon return to mate and spawn. I saw my first salmon leaping up the waterfall on my birthday in November 2009 which was the month we moved here.
A year later in 2010, we were fortunate to see dozens of wriggling elvers making their arduous pilgrimage up the Eden from their birth place in the Sargasso Sea. The water falls over an intrusion of igneous rock estimated to be 55.8 million years old.
On their journey the salmon and elvers pass through an ancient sandstone gorge with towering cliffs that have 5 faces, a salmon and a poem (a corruption of 'The compleat angler' by Izaak Walton 1653) carved into them. The carving of the poem is thought to be the work of a Victorian gentleman, William Mounsey and dated 1855. The faces are thought to be considerably earlier.
Trees are very close to Phil's heart as you know! This one represents the first Eden.
And now it is finished and installed into the church. You can see 'Spirit of the Eden 2015' post for the preliminary design and start of the window.

What to Expect
For oral-conscious sedation, patients take a small pill about an hour before their appointment. The pill induces a tranquil, yet conscious state and patients hardly notice when the anesthetic is administered at the beginning of their appointment. The sedative effect lasts throughout the appointment and for several hours afterwards, and many patients have little or no memory of the procedure. It is important for patients to arrange a ride home because the medication cannot be controlled in terms of when it will wear off.
Estimated Cost
The cost of oral-conscious sedation is about $350 per appointment. Some dental insurance companies may cover part or all of the cost, depending on the patient's coverage policy.

- Average Cost
- $200 - $400

Oral-Conscious Sedation FAQs
Completely Unconscious?
No. Oral-conscious sedation is a moderate sedative that will leave patients with the ability to respond to the dentist's questions and requests.
Duration of Sedation?
The duration of the patient's sedation varies, based on the procedure being performed and their reaction to the sedative. Patients can expect to be sedated for 2 to 6 hours. However, patients may not recover from the effects of the sedative for 24 hours.
Any Side Effects?
Some patients report nausea and vomiting with oral-conscious sedation. Some patients also report partial or full memory loss of their dental procedure. However, each patient will react differently to the sedative. Some patients may not experience any side effects at all. Patients can discuss the side effects, questions and concerns with their dentist prior to their procedure.

The English Wife presents a unique reviewing challenge. A brilliant murder mystery, it's difficult to review without spoiling its manysecrets. And because much of the terrible pleasure of this novel lies in the painstakingly slow revelation of these secrets, I can only very generally touch on the events at its heart. But The English Wife is also a bittersweet love story – actually, two – and one of these (the relationship between married couple Bayard and Annabelle Duyvil) transcends simple categorization. Told in chapters that alternate between Before (the murder) and After, and detailing/juggling the lives of its principal and pivotal secondary characters, The English Wifesucks you in and never lets go until the killer – and the truth – are revealed. Ms. Willig kept this reader guessing and reassessing chapter after chapter… and as a mystery/ thriller, the novel is a success. Suspenseful, clever and surprising, The English Wife kept me on tenterhooks from start to finish.
Unfortunately, it's less successful as an historical romance; Ms. Willig's attempt to end the novel with a happily ever feels oddly inappropriate and distracting, and ultimately, detracts from the overall effect of the story.
Genevieve ("Jane") Van Duyvil is attending a costumed Twelfth Night ball at the home of her brother Bayard and his beautiful wife Annabelle. Since the couple's whirlwind romance in London, they have largely kept to themselves, opting not to live close to the family matriarch in New York City, and reside instead with their three year old twins at Illyria, their rural estate on the banks of the Hudson River. Rumors about the marriage are rampant – that Annabelle is cuckolding Bay with a live-in architect; that they're unhappy together; that Bay enjoys a much too cozy relationship with his married cousin Anne; that Annabelle is an imposter – so despite the remote location, the party has drawn the curious crème de la crème of New York Knickerbocker society. Ever an observer, Jane finds herself watching and listening as guests cattily amuses themselves discussing and denigrating their (absent) hosts. Jane is dismissive of the rumors about Bay and Annabelle – she's seen first hand how devoted the pair are to each other, but she remains quietly on the sidelines, ignored and dismissed by society and her family.
Jane's quiet observations are interrupted when Anne asks if she knows where Bay and Annabelle have disappeared to. The dancing is about to begin, the pair are nowhere to be found, and Mrs. Van Duyvil has sent Anne to retrieve them. After a brief conversation, Jane accompanies Anne outside to see if Bay might be overseeing the set-up in the garden for entertainments after the dancing. Frozen and cold, Jane is just about to turn back when Anne shouts out in panic. Turning, Jane thinks she glimpses Annabelle floating in the river… but in the blink of an eye she's gone; turning towards Anne, Jane spots Bay on the ground with a knife in his chest. Dropping quickly to her knees next to him, she realizes he's still alive and shouts for Anne to get help. But moments after he appears to gasp out a name – George – he dies in her arms.
From here on out, The English Wife unfolds in alternating chapters that detail, via Jane's point of view, the newspapers rapacious appetite for the scandalous story – Was it murder? Where is Annabelle? Did Bay kill her?
Did she kill him? – and the evolution of the relationship between Bay and Annabelle before his murder and her disappearance. Ms. Willig painstakingly parcels out surprise after surprise in chapters detailing their complex relationship, and after the murder, as Jane tries to uncover the truth about what happened to her brother. Convinced Bay loved Annabelle and couldn't have killed her, Jane forms an unlikely partnership with a reporter who inveigles himself into the Van Duyvil home. But as Jane discovers secrets about Bay and Annabelle – and reporter James Burke – she begins to doubt everything she thought she knew.
Reader, I can't really tell you much about Annabelle and Bay before or after their marriage (#sorrynotsorry) – because doing so will spoil too much of the story. Deeply in love – but scarred in different ways and burdened with secrets – Annabelle and Bay turn to each other for salvation. But salvation, though lovely (it is! I loved them!), is temporary. And for Annabelle, the cost is steep and devastating. My heart ached as Ms. Willig slowly and inextricably revealed the secrets between this pair. The Twelfth Night ball represents a new, bittersweet beginning for them both but… well, I've already said too much. Suffice it to say, the relationship between Bay and Annabelle evolves differently than I hoped, but was profoundly moving nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Jane Duyvil tries to find her brother's killer. Oppressed and repressed by her overbearing hurtful mother, Jane has always been a wallflower, accepting crumbs of attention from her family and society. Bay was similarly disinterested in her – preferring to give his time and affections (and more?) to their wild, disobedient cousin Anne; nevertheless, Jane believed Bay loved Annabelle and couldn't have killed her. Determined to ferret out the truth, she strikes a deal with James Burke. She'll share what she knows of the murder if he will help her uncover what really happened that night. I liked their 'detective' partnership, and the sense of purpose and identity it gives Jane. She finally sets herself apart from her mother and begins to live life on her own terms searching for her brother's killer… but I wish Ms. Willig had devoted more time to Jane after her brother's murder. I still don't feel like I know her all that well.
As the novel slowly gathers momentum, we discover no one – and nothing – are quite as they appeared at the start. Ms. Willig does a terrific job blurring the line between 'good' guy and 'bad' guy, and deftly balances complex and conflicting truths in the lives of Jane, Bay and Annabelle. I still can't decide who I like and disliked in this story, and I'm hopelessly conflicted about Bay. As I read, I kept thinking of the phrase: O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!
I loved and loathed The English Wife in equal measure. As usual, Ms. Willig's writing is magnificent. She perfectly captures the period, setting, her primary and secondary characters – I can easily see it all in my minds eye – and the whodunit at its core is engrossing. I even felt the coldness of its bleak, wintry setting as I shivered through the pages. But it's also a bittersweet and heartbreaking love story and I ached reading it. Darkly moving, tinged with melancholy, The English Wife is not quite what you expect, but it stays with you long after its last page.

text: Well, if that is how it is than that is great! I always thought it was stupid when a state issues CCW's and then puts all sorts of restrictions on them. Here in Indiana you are not allowed to carry in governmental buildings, schools, police stations etc. I guess I could understand court houses and places like that, but I will tell you. I think that if I was at a function, that my daughter's high school had going on, I would rather be armed. I guarantee that I would risk life and limb MORE than a cop would to save my daughters life, but that is the law so I abide by it. I would like to know why Ohio will not recognize my Indiana permit, even though Indiana recognizes Ohio's. Maybe it is because Indiana is not a picture I.D.? I don't know.

Tonight. All is right with the world.
I've had happy champagne, ironically with the scourge of my current existence – my coworkers: Sidewinder, Mufasa and Obama.
Sidewinder you know, albeit in passing. Mufasa is the female Lion King to my fastly diminishing kingdom, Obama the beatific bite-sized politician who makes up the set. These are people who daily contribute to my crusty choleric and yet today, I enjoyed their company.
Contributing factors:
- Champagne. (A cherubic chunk of it.)
- The likelihood I'll resign within the fortnight. (Yeah buddy.)
- The fact I'm on leave next week, working on a film as a Production Assistant! (Unpaid, in case you think I'm a Disney character.)
- Yep. That about covers it.
Ain't it funny how people suddenly become warm, caring fuckers the minute you've got your exits covered? Or chimera caring, as the day may be. Get a load of this corker …
At 12pm I was told in passing (as one might impart what they ate for breakfast) that I had to move out of my current work desk by 5pm today. Here's the kicker: they don't have a new desk for me to move to. Yeah, you read right. I'm being made homeless. In my motherfucken workplace, yo. Not fired, just homeless.
Not only that, they'd known for weeks and hadn't said a word.
Sidewinder tells me (conversationally over lunch) of the clandestine meeting which took place the moment I left the room this morning – whereby Mufasa suggests they don't tell me at all. They should simply wait until I leave today and pack up my desk while I'm on leave (presumably to move me to the basement, sans stapler, like moribund Milton of Office Space lore). They actually convened over that shit.
- Who are these people?
- What in the Sheryl Crow?
- Is this any way to do business?
And so on, and so forth.
Sidewinder tells me this as I picked out my pumpkin risotto (aka orange opium), then acts askance when I react in the negative. (Insert expletives here, Aussie style.)
Whatevs, yo. Twenty minutes before, as excellent timing is want to do, my old boss rang to tee up beers and confirm my references were checked for the job I interviewed for yesterday. A job within film – as vast and diluted as that industry may be. Not one in the most ideal direction and not where I design to end up, BUT! In FILM baby! I'm their first choice and he's gonna reference the shit outta that puppy.
BOOYAR. Sock it to you.
So. As my mangled day came to a close, there I sat. Alcoholling with Mufasa, Obama and Sidewinder. Rather enjoying myself, as perversion would have it. Quick-firing quips which neither their political correctness nor intellect allowed them to catch; throwing caution to the westerly winds which phase my hairdo not.
The irony (in an Octomum family of ironies) is that Sidewinder has fought so hard for their good opinion, only to be shunted to the shady corners of the high-school yard; where I warmed those parasites to me as quickly as I emotionally exited, stage left. I foresaw a month of false farewells in my future before I faded into their obscurity, and they became faceless portraits in the Edvard Munch's scream of my past.
How many times I've done this I care not to recall, but I knew the musical steps as surely as Mozart's prodigy. The beauty of laying it all on the emotional and pipe-dream line was, I very much planned never to do it again.

Chevron Home Office Makeover
We are coming to the last couple days of my Crazy for Chevron party. This week has flown by! Hope you've enjoyed the party, I will definitely have to try this again sometime. I'd love to hear what theme you'd like to see next time! Tomorrow I will finish things off with a round-up of my favorite DIY projects from other blogs and Pinterest.
Today's post was inspired by a get together with a couple of my friends. We had a Pinterest party and decided to make fabric covered cork boards. When we headed to buy some fabric, I knew I wanted to get something chevron! I went back and forth between the pink print and the red. I love pink, but decided to try something different and went with the red.
I had extra fabric, so after the party I started going a little "chevron crazy" and covering other items in the office as well! Our project definitely inspired me. There's a lot more I want to do to our office space, but these accent pieces made a big difference! Here's how I got started, though.
Fabric Covered Bulletin Board materials:
- Cork bulletin board
- Modge Podge
- Paintbrush
- Glue Gun
- Fabric
Fabric Covered Bulletin Board instructions:
- Cut fabric down to just over the size of the bulletin board
- Cover front of cork bulletin board with a layer of Modge Podge (this just helps it stick better to the board, you wouldn't have to do this step, but it sealed the fabric to the board)
- Turn board over and stick in the center of the back of the fabric
- Fold the fabric around the back and wrap like a present
- Glue the flaps sides down to the cork board
- Let dry
Sorry I didn't get a lot of pictures, we were busy talking and I forgot to take some!
Once I got home I put the bulletin board in our office space. We haven't really gotten it all set-up, so it added a cute touch. Then I got to thinking, maybe I could make some additional pieces for the room, I still had some material left.
The next thing I decided to tackle was a mousepad. I had an old mousepad that had pictures printed on it, but it had definitely seen better days. The photos had faded and there were cracks in various spots, it definitely needed a little help... I decided to give it a face lift by using some of the leftover fabric! I did get more pictures for this makeover.
DIY Fabric Covered Mousepad materials:
- Fabric
- Mousepad
- Glue gun
DIY Fabric Covered Mousepad instructions:
- Cut fabric down to just larger than the mousepad
- Place mousepad down on fabric
- Hot glue the two sides down on the mousepad
- Cut slits in the four corners
- Glue down corner flap
- Glue down top and bottom flaps
- Let dry
I finished out the fabric by covering a mail organizer I had. I glued a piece of fabric onto the front, and then covered a piece on to the back piece of the mail organizer.
New Chevron Mousepad
Updated Mail Organizer
New bulletin board - hard to see but I found cute polka dot push pins for it!
And here's the final look! Like I said, we have a lot more we could do, but this is a cute start!
Come back next week as I kick of a two part series on ladybug cakes/cupcakes. I've also got some fun recipes to share!
Feel free to share this party on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. Here is my button for the party:
