Are Women Safer in India or the U.S.?
In the aftermath of the death Saturday of a woman who was gang raped in New Delhi – and the soul-searching it's sparked in India over the treatment of women - some commentators are questioning whether sexual violence is really worse here than in other countries.
But Indians working to make the country safer for women say pointing out that rape also is a concern in the U.S. and Europe is irrelevant to their fight.
"It's a bad analogy," says Vrinda Grover, an Indian Supreme Court lawyer who has worked for two decades on women's issues. "It just means there's equal cause for concern everywhere."
It's certainly possible to find statistics that show India is not alone in facing a rape problem. Take this document from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. It shows 1.8 incidents of reported rape in India per 100,000 people in 2010 compared to 27.3 in the U.S.
This kind of comparison, however, is misleading, Indian activists say.
Sudha Sundararaman, general secretary of the All India Democratic Women's Association, a nonprofit organization, says very few rapes get reported due to pressure from society to cover up abuses and the reluctance of police to register cases.
Although she acknowledges it's hard to get hold of true statistics, Ms. Sundararaman estimates from her field experience that only about one in 10 rapes get recorded in India.
That would make India's reporting rate much worse than the results of surveys in the U.S. suggest.
The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, or RAINN, a U.S. nonprofit organization, says only 46% of U.S. rape cases get reported to the police. That number comes from the U.S. Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey.
Indian activists say there are other reasons to believe the Indian numbers don't capture the extent of the problem.
Indian law, for instance, doesn't recognize rape committed within a marriage. It doesn't count acts of oral sex as criminal rape. And it doesn't allow for rape of men.
Another way to compare countries' rape statistics is to look at conviction rates. India's National Crime Records Bureau shows there were 24,206 reported rape cases in 2011. Of those that made it to court that year, which was not disclosed, 26% ended in convictions.
In the U.S., RAINN estimates that just over half of rape cases that are prosecuted in the U.S. each year leads to a conviction, a much higher rate than in India.
But, as Ms. Grover says, none of this number crunching makes Delhi's streets any less dangerous. Ms. Grover says she feels much safer on New York's subway system than on Delhi's buses, for instance.
Activists are hoping the death of the 23-year-old student over the weekend will help improve public safety for women in India.
They're pushing for changes to require police to register complaints by rape victims within a certain timeframe; for a broad sexual assault law that cracks down on other forms of widespread sexual assault, like groping; and for better policing to keep streets safer.

Architecture of essential human transcription factor revealed
Image and video credit: Gabor Papai – IGBMC
Click image to play.
The human TFIID core complex contains two copies each of TAF4 (green), TAF5 (red), TAF6 (blue), TAF9 (light blue) and TAF12 (light green). The density determined by cryo-electron microscopy is shown as a grey mesh.
In a nutshell:
The human TFIID is a large protein complex that forms the cornerstone of the machinery that controls the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA)
The core-complex of TFIID described here is made of 10 subunits organised symmetrically; that symmetry is broken when it attracts other subunits to start transcription
Researchers mimicked the protein production strategy of Coronaviruses to produce and assemble the subunits of the core-complex of TFIID for high-resolution analysis
A research team of scientists from EMBL Grenoble and the IGBMC in Strasbourg, France, have, for the first time, described in molecular detail the architecture of the central scaffold of TFIID: the human protein complex essential for transcription from DNA to mRNA. The study, published today in Nature, opens new perspectives in the study of transcription and of the structure and mechanism of other large multi-protein assemblies involved in gene regulation.
By controlling the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA, TFIID forms the cornerstone of the machinery that controls gene expression in our cells. Despite its crucial role, very little was known about its architecture. TFIID is present at very low levels in cells, and it is a very large protein complex made of 20 subunits: this combination largely prevented previous attempts to purify it and decipher its structure and function in molecular detail. Even the most advanced methods for recombinant protein production met their limits when trying to produce its various subunits in the right proportions.
The solution to this bottleneck came from studying the strategy certain viruses, such as Coronaviruses, use when they replicate: they produce very long protein chains that are then divided into individual proteins. Mimicking this technique led to highly abundant and correctly assembled complexes of the core scaffold of TFIID (comprising 10 subunits), which could be purified and analysed at high resolution by combining electron microscopy and data from X-ray crystallography.
This ground-breaking analysis reveals the inner workings of the core-complex of human TFIID in unprecedented detail. It shows that some of its subunits adopt a very defined structure, whereas other parts appear to adopt intricate, extended geometries winding like worms through the complex, holding it together. The overall architecture of the complex is symmetric; however, the authors describe how it becomes asymmetric when it binds to other subunits to finally form the complete TFIID complex.
"We know now in some detail what the core of TFIID looks like, and what happens when further subunits are bound. We believe that we have opened the door to determining the architecture of the entire human TFIID complex in the near future, and likewise of other large multiprotein assemblies involved in gene regulation, and to explain their roles in catalysing biological function," concludes Imre Berger, coordinator of the study at EMBL.
The study involved the research groups of Imre Berger and Christiane Schaffitzel at the EMBL Grenoble, and the research groups of Patrick Schultz and Laszlo Tora at the IGBMC in Strasbourg.
The video is also available on the EMBL YouTube Channel.

The architecture of human general transcription factor TFIID core complex.
Christoph Bieniossek, Gabor Papai, Christiane Schaffitzel, Frederic Garzoni, Maxime Chaillet, Elisabeth Scheer, Petros Papadopoulos, Laszlo Tora, Patrick Schultz and Imre Berger. Published online in Nature on the 6 January 2013.
Article Abstract
The initiation of gene transcription by RNA polymerase II is regulated by a plethora of proteins in human cells. The first general transcription factor to bind gene promoters is transcription factor IID (TFIID). TFIID triggers pre-initiation complex formation, functions as a coactivator by interacting with transcriptional activators and reads epigenetic marks1–3. TFIID is a megadalton-sized multiprotein complex composed of TATA-box-binding protein (TBP) and 13 TBP-associated factors (TAFs)3. Despite its crucial role, the detailed architecture and assembly mechanism of TFIID remain elusive. Histone fold domains are prevalent in TAFs, and histone-like tetramer and octamer structures have been proposed in TFIID4–6. A functional core-TFIID subcomplex was revealed in Drosophila nuclei, consisting of a subset of TAFs (TAF4, TAF5, TAF6, TAF9 and TAF12)7. These core subunits are thought to be present in two copies in holo-TFIID, in contrast to TBP and other TAFs that are present in a single copy8, conveying a transition from symmetry to asymmetry in the TFIID assembly pathway. Here we present the structure of human core-TFIID determined by cryoelectron microscopy at 11.6A ° resolution. Our structure reveals a two-fold symmetric, interlaced architecture, with pronounced protrusions, that accommodates all conserved structural features of the TAFs including the histone folds.Wefurther demonstrate that binding of one TAF8–TAF10 complex breaks the original symmetry of core-TFIID. We propose that the resulting asymmetric structure serves as a functional scaffold to nucleate holo-TFIID assembly, by accreting one copy each of the remaining TAFs and TBP.

Dick Cheney is aggrieved because Dubya didn't pardon his familiar:
"I was clearly not happy that we, in effect, left Scooter sort of hanging in the wind," Cheney said in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union with John King." He acknowledged a "fundamental difference of opinion" with Bush on the matter.
A federal jury in Washington convicted Libby of lying and obstructing an investigation into who blew the cover of CIA officer Valerie Plame, whose husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had criticized the Iraq war.
Bush earlier commuted Libby's 2-1/2-year prison sentence but before leaving office in January, Bush refused to give Libby an outright pardon.
Cheney said Libby had been unjustly accused and deserved a pardon but Bush disagreed. It was one of the few areas that Cheney has publicly said he disagreed with Bush on during their eight years in the White House.
I've made my opinion of Dick Cheney clear in this blog many a time – from his term as Secretary of Defense to the last eight years of a neo-fascist pall over this country. But now, I truly think he is this country's Beria or Feliks Dzerzhinskiy, or even a low-rent Himmler.
Please, Cheney, find yourself a lair with some self-destructive mountain militia.

This would be very helpfel to Tactical gamers.

Ideally, you can also ping the enemies' last know location or draw the route you're goin to take. There in fact some live whiteboard sites but I'm not sure if they can work on phones and PCs at the same time, plus keeping a browser open like Chrome just for the whiteboard may affect performance.

Mixed Review: Jell-O Flan
We bake from the box.
"The caramel sauce ran down the sides like lava off a volcano."
When I think of Jell-O, I think of things that are solidly American, such as no-bake cheesecake, instant chocolate pudding, and edible vodka shots. That's why I was so surprised to see a mix for flan on the supermarket shelf, tucked in between the boxes of more typical flavors like kiwi-strawberry and watermelon. How well could Jell-O pull off a traditional European dessert? I was curious to find out.
What's New On Serious Eats
The process of preparing the flan was quite similar to the process of preparing a cook-and-serve pudding. (Heat milk and mix to a boil. Pour into serving cups. Chill.) The one additional step involved dividing a little packet of caramel between the ramekins before pouring the hot pudding mix on top.
As I did this, I noted that the caramel was quite runny, more the consistency of a vinaigrette than a gooey sauce. In the picture on the box, the caramel layer sat on top of the creamy custard like a little cap. I highly doubted mine would turn out that neatly.
After preparing the pudding, which was an odd color bordering on saffron orange, I divided it between the ramekins. The instructions said to work slowly to avoid disturbing the caramel layer, but no matter how carefully I poured the caramel swirled up and mixed with the pudding. Even before I set the ramekins in the refrigerator to chill, I knew there was no way my flans were going to have caramel tops.
After a few hours, I removed a flan from the fridge and slid a thin knife around the edge of the ramekin to unmold it. I flipped it onto a dessert plate then lifted the ramekin. No flan. A lot of the caramel sauce had gushed out, though. I went back with the knife and wiggled the custard. It made a sucking sound, resisted a bit, and then plopped onto the plate in a fat little blob. The caramel sauce ran down the sides like lava off a volcano. It wasn't pretty.
Unfortunately, it didn't taste much better. The flan wasn't at all creamy or custardy. Instead, the mouthfeel was squishy and gelatinous. It was also cloyingly sweet, with no trace of real caramel flavor. In the end, the Jell-O mix was a complete flan flop. Try it if you're curious, but my advice is to stick with the pudding.

Henry Morton Robinson THE CARDINAL
Henry Morton Robinson – THE CARDINAL
Well, I know nothing about this guy at all. I can tell you that THE CARDINAL was one of the first Reader's Digests Condensed Books, it appeared in the Autumn 1950 volume along with ROOSEVELT IN RETROSPECT by John Gunther, LONG THE IMPERIAL WAY by Hanama Tasaki, and the only volume I've vaguely heard of, YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN by Dorothy Baker (I think this was later a Frank Sinatra movie).
I can tell you it was the number one bestseller of 1950 and the number four bestseller of 1951, which is one hell of an impressive achievement as well as one hell of a cautionary tale – the height of literary fame and how many of you have heard of Henry Morton Robinson?
I can tell you it was later made into a minor Otto Preminger movie starring Tom Tryon (who we've talked about!) as the titular character. Haven't seen it.
I also have this odd fact for you – oddly it's one of the big facts in the short Wikipedia piece on him – Mr. Robinson died when he fell asleep in a hot bath. Not of drowning, mind, but complications afterwards of the resulting second and third degree burns.
Wow. I hate to laugh. But how hot was that damn thing?
As for the book itself – it's harmless. A slice of life novel depicting the inexorable rise of a poor Boston priest to the heights of the Vatican. The kind of novel where a lot of incidents occur but nothing much really happens: our hero's character, outside of a certain naivete that's fully sympathetically portrayed by the narrator until he learns The Real Deal, which is also fully sympathetically portrayed by the narrator, never really advances from where he begins. He starts out as a well-meaning good guy who's serious about his religion and, as far as I can tell (I didn't read the whole thing all the way to the finish) he ends it as a well-meaning good guy who's serious about his religion. It's written in an amiable sort of mushy style that's too bright and chipper to really be called "bad" or even get very angry about, just more evidence that the mediocre of the past was just better than the mediocre of today. (I'm not sure that THE CARDINAL has worn well, exactly, but you can read it without wincing. I'm not sure the same can be said of today's mass novel.)
I do not understand why it was so massively popular. Are there that many Catholics out there? Was it an instance of non-Catholics trying to understand Catholicism and this one came out at the right time? Was it the fact that it "tackled" -- Jesus, what does that word even mean? How about "tried to bring up" a lot of social phenomenon of the time like interfaith marriage and abortion? Would our hero have talked about women in the priesthood if the book had been set in present day America?
I don't think THE CARDINAL is going to tell you anything about Catholicism that you should really trust, and I'm leery anyway of books "that teach you things", because who really wants that, honestly. If you want to learn about Catholicism go right to the source and talk to a couple of Nuns, they'll clue you in.
All that said there's nothing really wrong with it. It moves along at a chipper pace and while you won't really have any fun reading it, you won't exactly hate yourself in the morning, either. It's just kind of a generic experience. Call it "Book".

Don't expect presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan for the vice presidential nomination to change the electoral landscape in California. No way is this indigo blue state about to become scarlet red by November, that's for sure. Nevertheless, Romney is sure to reap millions more in California gold in honor of his VP choice.
Most Republicans in California are conservative. In fact, this year, many moderate Republican leaders have transferred their loyalties to "no political party," as witnessed by candidate descriptions next to names in the June primary. That's just fine with the state's Republican core, who tack much further to the right than squishy moderates.
But it gets even better for Romney with Ryan in the mix. Conservative Republicans here fall into two camps: fiscal and evangelical. How evangelical Republicans will warm up to Ryan remains to be seen, particularly because of their lingering concerns about his Mormon religion. But the fiscal conservatives will be in political heaven.
Ryan's a no nonsense guy when it comes to taxing and spending. He wants to make Medicare a voluntary program, slash taxes, and all but eliminate discretionary federal spending for areas such as public education, environmental protection, and health, to name a few. For fiscal conservatives here, Ryan's ideas are golden, which is why they will be likely to spend like never before to assure a Romney/Ryan victory in November.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Romney has already done well in California on the money trail. Federal records show that he raised $21 million through April 30. Three campaign swings since then have brought in somewhere between $15 million and $20 million more, although those numbers are yet to be publicly released.
Now with Ryan, Romney is sure to attract a new wave of funds from fiscal conservatives here. And while little of that money will be spent in California, it will be put to good use in nearby swing states from Nevada and Colorado to Virginia and North Carolina.
California's votes may remain mostly Democratic in November, but don't be surprised when all is said and done if Romney gets the largest share of his campaign funds from here.

Big 8 Football Thursday: Memorial, Lafollette, Sun Prairie improve to 4-0
Memorial beats West 28-20 in our Game of the Week
There is a three-way tie in the Big 8 football conference.
Madison Memorial, Madison Lafollette and Sun Prairie all won Thursday night to improve to 4-0.
The Spartans beat the Regents 28-20 in our Prep Mania game of the week at Mansfield. Memorial took a 28 to 7 fourth-quarter lead when Brandon Toman connected with KD Sims for the 17-yard touchdown. It was the second scoring play for the duo.

David Messinger, director of the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, tells NASA astronaut Donald Pettit, third from left, about the center?s work for the World Bank after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Stefi Baum, center director, left, and Robert Constantine, director of planned giving, right, listen on.
NASA astronaut Donald Pettit visited RIT's Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science on Thursday, Jan. 9, while in town to give a lecture at the George Eastman House on his space photography.
Peter Blacksberg, a 1975 alumnus from the School of Photography, introduced Pettit to key members of the center: Stefi Baum, director; Joe Pow, associate director; and David Messinger, director of the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory.
"Knowing that taking photos from space posed some unique problems, Peter suggested that Don connect with our researchers here, thinking we might be able to help address some of these challenges," Pow said.
Pettit asked specific questions about imaging the sun from the space station.
"He posed for us an interesting question on what useful filtered photography of the sun might he do," said Baum. "We are investigating that and will be getting back to him soon."
Pettit has logged more than 370 days on the International Space Station and more than 13 spacewalking hours during his three times in space.

Finally, I officially graduated. The convocation ceremony was held at Hotel Istana, Kuala Lumpur on 25th February 2012. For this purpose, we took the opportunity to have a holiday and booked two nights at the Royale Chulan Hotel around fifteen minutes walking distance from where the convocation was.
Something that really touched me.
Thank you for the cute teddy! It was indeed a great artwork. You could not buy this from anywhere!
Although the whole ceremony was pretty long, I enjoyed myself in the midst because I finally got to meet some of the friends that I had sort of lost touch with after moving to Penang.

The most valuable picture that every student covets:
The proof of all the toil and hard work after a few years. Oh, and that is the Chairman of the Raffles Education Group, Colin Pereira.
It did feel surreal to stand on the stage receiving the folder. Was this for real?
I am too shy to post the studio picture here so you can go scout it out from the album in Facebook. :)

Leccy Tech Zero Motorcycles is readying a 'leccy sports bike that may just be the two-wheeler we've all been waiting for: a lightweight electric road racer equivalent of its soon-to-ship 125cc model S sports bike.
Zero's model S: will be sold from soon-to-open UK stores
Neal Saiki, CTO of Zero, told magazine Hell for Leather that "later on this year, we'll come out with a micro sports bike" to be called the Zero SS.
He added that the bike will feature the Zero S's 4kWh battery pack, which presumably means the Zero SS may also have the S's same 31bhp and 62.5lb/ft torque.
"In the UK there's these 125cc motorcycles and we wanted to do the same thing in an electric version," added Saiki. "Full fairing, make it aerodynamic, make it racy looking. But we're always going to highlight the frame technology because we have all that beautiful aluminium."
The Zero S tips the scales at 102kg, with 39kg of the weight attributable to its battery pack. It's also got an electrically limited top speed of 60mph, but can hit 80mph without the limiter.
Zero's 'beautiful aluminium' frame will feature on the model S
It's reasonable to assume then that a faired, aerodynamically more slippery sports bike could hit 80mph with ease. But, as always, the trade-off between speed, acceleration and range will be a factor and Zero's claimed a fully-charged Zero S will go for around 60 miles.
According to Saiki, Zero aims to shift 600 of its model S supermotos this year. But he's confident that come 2010, the new SS will be its best seller.
The Zero S currently costs $9950 (£6560/€7308) in North America and, according to Zero UK, dealerships will be opened in London, Loughborough and Edinburgh in the not-too-distant future.
Although we don't have a price for the SS yet, Zero's pegged the Zero S's UK RRP at £8874 and at roughly €10,000 in the rest of Europe – or, to put it another way, around three times the cost of Honda's CBR125R. ®

Hi Everyone
Been browsing around here for a few months now. Don't normally care for forums but this one
seems friendly enough and has the added advantage of bringing back so many memories of
growing up in Wassop! By my calculations I reckon I'm a year older than Caz so that makes me
still pretty young then ( always keep on the moderators good side)
Hopefully I will get around to adding my twopennorth to a few threads later on.
The one about Malc Kimberleys Hillman imp bike brought back a few memories.
What was his younger sister called?
Anyone remember when a gang of greasers from Ollerton? came looking for trouble at the "Hare
& Hounds" zooming around just waiting for something to kick off and then riding right
through the middle of them came the curate ( Mr Curtis?) on his moped wearing his WW1
leather flying helmet!!
I couldn't stop laughing for ages.
Good Times
Keith ( that's a clue)

Matthew McConaughey has always been an animated actor – but it's his brother who is becoming an actual cartoon.
Matthew is teaming with FOX to develop an animated TV series based on the life of his older brother, Mike "Rooster" McConaughey, according to Variety.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Latest Star Sightings
"Rooster Tales" will reportedly follow the adventures of a beer-drinking, redneck sheriff who marries a younger woman from Mexico. However, the man soon sees his wife comes with a catch – her 114-member family.
"My brother's life is so unbelievable, we had to animate it," Matthew told the Hollywood trade paper.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebrity Siblings
The real-life Rooster will also executive produce the series with his brother.
However, this isn't Rooster's first Hollywood venture – he appeared in the TruTV reality series "Black Gold." He also had a small part in Matthew's 1998 film "The Newton Boys."
Rooster previously earned headlines in 2006 when he named his second child Miller Lyte McConaughey.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European leaders agreed on Friday to push for a free-trade pact with the United States, putting the onus on the White House to decide whether to try for a deal that would encompass half the world's economic output.
Major exporters Germany and Britain won support from the rest of the European Union at a summit in Brussels to reach a deal with Washington that many leaders hope will help Europe pull out of its banking and debt crises.
In their final statement, leaders said the European Union gave "its support for a comprehensive trade agreement" with the United States.
"We need to move forward," European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said at the end of the summit, referring to the United States. "The Commission will push ahead to realize the full potential of an integrated transatlantic trade agreement," said Barroso, who heads the EU executive responsible for negotiating the European Union's trade agreements.
The EU leaders' statement raises expectations that U.S. President Barack Obama may endorse the initiative next Tuesday in his annual State of the Union speech, which presidents traditionally use to lay out their priorities for the year.
A U.S. trade official in Washington said EU leaders' unity was "helpful in building confidence that the EU has the political will to do what is necessary for an agreement."
Europe's main business lobby, Business Europe, urged Obama to embrace the momentum in a letter released on Friday on behalf of 41 business federations, calling on him to give "a strong signal" and "political support" for the talks.
With economic growth elusive on both sides of the Atlantic, Obama and EU leaders tasked their trade chiefs in 2011 to look at whether it was feasible to agree a deal to further integrate the two blocs that already have low tariffs.
A U.S.-EU draft proposal drawn up by EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk is essentially ready. De Gucht, who went to Washington this week, has given strong signals that there is enough common ground to go ahead with negotiations.
Talks could start in months, and while De Gucht was warned of difficult negotiations, both sides appear to want to agree on an accord quickly, possibly by the end of 2014.
Following the collapse of global trade talks in 2008, both the United States and Europe have sought to tie up as many free-trade agreements as possible, and Brussels alone is negotiating with more than 80 countries.
Efforts to agree a U.S.-EU pact could spur the rest of the world to revive global talks for fear of being sidelined in the emerging shape of global commerce, Indonesia's candidate to head the World Trade Organisation told Reuters.
But U.S. officials, wary of getting bogged down in endless talks, have said they need a strong political commitment from the 27-nation European Union that Brussels is serious about opening up its markets before they can go ahead with talks.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with support from free-trade advocate Britain, has been eager for a deal for months.
"I wish for nothing more than a free-trade agreement with the United States," Merkel said on January 29 in Berlin.
Diplomats say the time is right for a deal that was first talked about three decades ago but was considered too difficult because of worries from protectionists on both sides of the Atlantic, especially in the farming sector.
The European Union dropped its ban on some U.S. meat imports this week in a gesture aimed at starting talks, but countries such as France, and U.S. states such as Georgia, are reluctant to fully open up to foreign competition.
Still, a deal could increase Europe's economic output by 65 billion euros ($88 billion) a year, according to the European Commission, benefiting industries from chemicals to automakers.
The United States too is dissatisfied with its meager economic growth since the global financial crisis of 2008/2009 and sees removing barriers to trade with the European Union as a way to unleash billions of dollars in transatlantic business.
In a speech on Saturday in Munich, Vice President Joe Biden said the economic benefits of a comprehensive trade agreement would be "almost boundless" if the two sides could muster the political will to resolve longstanding differences in regulations that have blocked farm and other exports.
Biden said: "This is within our reach."

Day trading
Day Trade
An investment practice in which one buys (or sells short) a security and then sells (or buys) the same security in the same trading day. That is, a day trade involves the opening and the closing of a position on the same trading day, in order to profit from short-term changes in price. For example, a day trader may buy Stock A at $15 per share because he/she believes it will be $17 a few minutes or hours later. The activities in which day traders engage are high risk because there is no guarantee that the price will move in the desired direction. However, day traders provide a great deal of liquidity to the market.

I guess I am feeling a little French Country Cottage this week. After my French Inspired Chair was finished I was thinking a little romantic pillow would go nicely with it. Ruffles and roses are always in order, especially around Valentines Day. They just brings out the "girly" in you!
I had actually been practicing my ruffles (more on that in a minute). So I had this muslin ruffle on hand. The technique I have been using is the "wad it under your sewing foot as you sew fairly slow" technique. Very technical... look it up! Works fine for me since I do not own a ruffler foot at the moment.
Here is a tutorial on how I made these linen roses. There are tons out there. All pretty similar but this is how I did it.
1. Cut a rectangle of your fabric. Mine was about 9" by 11" and I ended up with about a 3" diameter rosette.
2. Round off the corners.
3. Cut around snail shell style. You can trace your line or just cut. It doesn't need to be perfect!
4. Tie a knot in your starting end which will make the center of your rosette.
5. Tuck the tail end that is left from your knot under and start wrapping your fabric around in a circle twisting it as you go. It will make sense once you start.
6. When you get to the end you should have a rounded piece of fabric left. Cover it in hot glue and stick your flower down. At this point you can trim off any random "petals" and make sure its secure by adding a little more glue if needed. I finished mine off with a little pearl glued to the center.

Same Place
Dear Em.
Six letters received today and beleive me it is going to be some job to answer them all in due time, and, as they should be answered, for with the very limited time we are getting now (and the limited time is sure getting to be the limit) there is very little time to think of home let alone write. Now Im not going to say any more about the time for there is so little time to talk about that Id use it all up and I wouldn't have any more of it to use on what I have to say (Time).
Well Em lets go. Got two letters from you dated Dec. 5 and Dec. 10, two from Southy dated Dec. 5 and Dec. 10 one from Henry (which I will answer next) dated Dec. 10, and one from the Boss dated Dec. 10. How is that for time. You can imagine what a day this was for me, and then you will not realize how much I appreciate this mail. Its like the old saying "When my ship comes in," and all we want off that ship is what mail is consigned to us. Its a great life after all when you get a letter from home, and answer it by saying "Im feeling great."
In your letter of Dec. 5th you said it was just a week since you heard from me, but that you new it was not my fault. Im writing all the time Em (that is when I get a chance). I don't mind waiting for mail at all, for we've got to wait until the mail gets in any way. But when the mail gets in and I find no letter from you; Well Im wanting the war to stop right there thats all. Yes Em mail day is a Christmas day here and thats one good thing about France. We get a Christmas about once every three weeks.
So Al was asking for me. Tell him the next time he happens to drop in (of coarse Im liable to see him myself first who knows) that Im wishing him many more long enjoyable trips. I never will fully express the pleasure experienced by my reading the letter Henry wrote me, for, (well it was great thats all). You spoke about missing him when he goes home. Well Em, don't let him and Leonard go home, and you've got the whole thing solved. Am very pleased to hear that Nora is getting along all right and I hope that this will find you ready to say she is O.K.
Good luck to the Home Gaurd Em, and let me tell you right here, give them credit. They are doing their bit in the same spirit that the tin soldiers are doing theirs. Right here I want to say Em that as usual Mass. in her Militia has them all stopped again. Will tell you about it when I see you. Can't tell you in this form. I can picture Henry and Pa chewing it out, pipe and fag. Say Em talk about being cold, will tell you about it when I see you.
I havent received your second box, if such was sent, or as Pa would say if it wasnt sent. By your letter of the 10th Dec. I take it you and Leonard have some pleasant sessions. Am sending a cap such as we are wearing now. Ive been wearing it all day, so tell him it is one his Uncle wore in France. The one I wear is blue and the #s 103 on the left hand flap. May have it made a duplicate of my own, will tell you later. Tom is a lucky kid if he can get home within a year. Nuf ced. I know you will be disappointed in the brief letters I will be compelled to write from now on, but beleive me Em it isn't because I don't want to say more, or because I have nothing to say.
It is now twelve oclock and a letter to Henry before I turn in. Never weakening a bit Em. As luck would have it we've got a fire here tonight, and a streak of luck has got to be taken advantage of. Now don't be disappointed Em if you don't get another letter as long as this although I will promise to write often to keep you posted on my condition. I say good night with love to all
P.S. Henry will have to wait until tomorrow. A healthy man gets sleepy.

Is Curious George a Monkey or an Ape?

Unfortunately, this detour into taxonomic history doesn't really tell us whether Curious George is a monkey or an ape. To be sure, we'd have to pose this rather anachronistic question to the Reys, both now deceased. In order to reconcile George as a monkey in today's scientific parlance, he would have to be a Barbary macaque. However, this species does not look particularly like the way George is illustrated, and it also tends to live in mountainous regions of northern Africa, not jungles. Given the details of the original Curious George book -- his living in trees in Africa, his lack of a tail, his coloring and depiction, his opposable big toes, and his inquisitive nature -- I like to think of him as a juvenile chimpanzee. So I hold that Curious George is an ape, but I'll give the Reys a pass on using the catch-all term "monkey" because it would have been easily understood in the time and place they originally wrote the story of this adorable but troublemaking primate.

What Eyeshadow Suits
You Best?
Blue Eyes Edition
Hello my loves and how are you all? I do hope you're well and I must start today's blog with an apology as my blogs have been beyond all over the place. Although I try not to worry if I miss an upload by a day or two it still does bother me! So I am sorry for that.
Moving on, however, this post is the first in what will be four perhaps five eyeshadow looks I would like to share with you over the next few weeks.
I have a great secret eyeshadow trick to share with you all today though and it's about bright coloured eyeshadow. I will be posting three blogs that will demonstrate great eyeshadow colours for all colour types.
A lot of people are afraid or unsure where to even start when it comes to coloured eye shadow so I am here to help! The secret you need to remember is to match your eyes! It is that simple and the way your eyes will pop after will just blow you away. I roped my blue eyed bestie. Kerry, into helping me with this blue eyeshadow look. I'm sure you'll agree she looks sensational.
So I started off by adding a layer of non-liquid concealer to the eye lid. Now, you won't believe the difference it will make to the pigment colour and how visible the colour is. I started by using the 'Sea Foam' shade from my MUA 'Solstice' palette. which this light blue shade and I applied this all over the lid. I love the slight sparkle it has!
After this, I added this gorgeous dark blue 'Midnight' from the MUA 'Winter Forest' palette. As you can tell from the shape the darker section should be a bit above and at the outer edges is perfect. Finally, I added just a tiny little bit of this greeny/blue colour, 'Aqua' from the same palette, on the join of the light and dark blue and blended this out just so the two tones of blue would blend a little better.
When it comes to blending just gently rub the brush along the hard lines so that they're instead soft and 'blended out'.
Eyeliner was an easy choice as it's fun to go big on a look like this so Kerry has some thin winged eyeliner but we went quite far out with it. For the bottom waterline, it had to be a white liner to make the colour pop even better and also lighten the eyes so they're not too dark, the panda look is not good!
For mascara, I used this great new one I got from Maybelline New York, 'Big Eyes'. The reason I love this mascara so much is for the lower lash brush as it is just perfect. I then used my 'Eye Define' waterproof mascara for the top lashes as the brush is so good and gets right to lash line. Really maximises the volume of lashes whilst being waterproof!
Look how blue the eyes are!! The perfect way to help really make the most of your eye colour and really make them stand out.
Well, my loves I hope you liked this blog and thank you to my bestie for letting me do her makeup again after all these years (lol). What's your go to eyeshadow colour?

A month ago, we set you the challenge of creating a computer-rendered design somehow related to Las Vegas, which is of course the setting for any tech nerd's fantasy, given that's where the CES trade-show is held every January. We had some amazing entries this month, but only one can be slovenly 3D-printed out by our main man Nick at 3DPrintUK. That winner is...16-year-old Ryan!
Today is the last day to create a 3D render and enter it into this month's 3D Printing Challenge, where the winner will see their entry printed out using 3DPrintUK's 3D printer, plus awarded the watch of their choice from Tokyo Flash. This month's theme being Las Vegas, you've got a roulette wheel of possible choices. [3D Printing Challenge]
CES is the most-circled week on any tech nerd's calendar, but Ballmer on a pogo-stick, it's a lot of hard work for us tech bloggers! Want to know what takes the same amount of time your average tech-blogger takes to queue for the Sony conference? Designing your very own 3D model, that's what.
Even with most of you being too busy scoffing mince pies to enter this month's 3D Printing Challenge, we still got some superb entries for santa's high-tech sleigh. Of the six that entered though, only one can win an actual 3D print of their design, plus a Tokyo Flash watch of their choosing...
Currently, you stand a good chance of winning this month's 3D Printing Challenge, friends. It must be the many eggnog-quaffing occasions December offers, because Nick at 3DPrintUK tells me we've only had a couple of entries to this month's high-tech sleigh design competition. Fire up Google SketchUp, or your preferred CAD programme, and enter to win fame; your 3D printed model, and a Tokyo Flash watch. Read the rules here.
The clock is t-t-t-t-ticking, as you've got just 13 days to get your entry in for our second 3D printing challenge. This month our theme is high-tech sleighs, and as we've got a Tokyo Flash watch up for grabs (and will 3D print your model for keepsies), you don't have any valid arguments to dilly-dally, do you? [3D Printing Challenge]
Instead of battling the crowds at your nearest shopping centre, we recommend you really get into the festive spirit by downloading some free CAD software and having a go in this month's 3d Printing Challenge. You can win a 3D-printed model of your own design, plus a Tokyo Flash watch of your choosing.
After receiving some weird and wonderful entries to our first-ever 3D printing challenge, we've not only selected a winner, we've actually 3D PRINTED THE SHIT out of the winner. Well, we didn't 3D print the creator of the winning model...that'd just be weird (and expensive).
The deadline for our first-ever 3D printing Challenge has been extended by one week, as Tokyo Flash has plumped out the winners' bounty with one of its just-announced Kisai Seven watches. You now have until the 31st of October to send in a sketch or render of a character or figurine of your choosing, with the winner receiving a 3D-printed model of their design, plus Tokyo Flash's latest watch.
Time is running out to get entries in for our first-ever 3D printing challenge. You've got until the 24th of October to trump Simon's Chairman Mao, which is currently in the lead for our "design an avatar" competition. Do you want to let him walk away with his very own 3D-printed model of Mao? Of course not!
You've seen the US site's shooting challenges; hell, you may remember the Photoshop challenges from years back. Do you know what we're going to do here on Giz UK? Get you designing 3D models, with the winner getting their model 3D model printed out for keepsies. Oh yes!

I often see an almost morbid preoccupation with a false idea of "privacy." This comes partly from an overly developed fear of "identity theft." I have written about the common misconceptions about identity theft many times. I can cite actual statistics from the FBI, FCC, and other U.S. government agencies showing that the incidence of true, hard-core identity theft is extremely rare. Most of what is called identity theft is actually based of "complaints" not actual crime statistics.
Genealogists as a whole seem overly preoccupied with the idea that what they do in genealogy has any impact whatsoever on either the issue of privacy or the inordinate fear of identity theft. By the way, there are huge commercial entities whose existence depends on engendering a false sense of privacy and a fear of identity theft.
Let's get some definitions going here. First, dead people do not have any right to privacy. Genealogists are and should be concerned primarily with dead people ergo, they should not have concerns about privacy except their own or the very restricted few live people they insist in including in their records. Our online world has largely erased privacy considerations from huge areas of our lives. Take Facebook for instance. If you want to get an idea about privacy, spend a few hours watching the stream of posts on Facebook. You will almost certainly see that almost any subject, no matter how personal, can be seen in a few minutes or hours spent on watching the program. Here is one sample from a current Facebook stream:
My grandson had a seizure last night/this morning they are having a hard time making it stop. They had to intubate him and he is now in the PICU.OK, so this is a serious issue and very sad, but is it something that warrants posting on a very public website that goes out to the whole world. I could copy many such "announcements" including very personal and some very disturbing.
Almost all family tree websites, and all those of the larger genealogy companies take the issue of showing live people very seriously. But how does a serious policy in this area make any difference if your children and grandchildren are online day and night making personal comments on Facebook?

SIHH 2009... A quick review
Lets start with what I liked then. The Richard Lange Pour Le Merite. Its cool and lovely. The new upsized 1815s to 40mm are cool, the dark dialled L1 Tz and Dato Perp are cool too. Lange easily had the best showing of all the brands at SIHH.
looks like a steel simple time only watch :)
amidst all the German movement stylings... nice
to check this one out in the metal :)
so u got the all white, all black or all red gold n others
For IWC, the Portuguese in the Antique collection in rose gold looks interesting. The AP Jules Audemars Chrono looks quite alright too. The VC Traditionelle range looks smart. And the JLC Ladies GMT Diving Ceramique piece is nice.
VC had probably the next best showing for me with their Traditionelle lineup
- More AP Offshore Limited Editions. RBIII is not as nice as the RBII and the AP Millenary line and the other Jules Audemars watches don't appeal much to me.
- Ralph Lauren watches - Not impressed with the first showing but will see how things develop...
- Not crazy on the new models shown by Panerai & Panerai Ferrari, De Bethune, IWC, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget & Cartier, GP, Jean Richard & Baume & Mercier, Montblanc, Parmigiani, Roger Dubuis


text: UK 29 May 2013 Why you haven't heard of the five most important (only) pro-European movements They punch… well, they pretty much punch their weight. Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up I'm pro-European. I very much want to make that clear. I don't just mean in this article: it's something I increasingly want to make clear all the time. When I'm talking about politics; when I'm discussing my holidays; when someone tells me it's my round – whatever the topic, I find myself compelled to tell people that, I know it's flawed, I know it's imperfect, but yes, I remain committed to the rather unlovely continental bureaucracy hanging around at the far end of the Eurostar. The reason I'm beset by this urge to tell all and sundry that I'm pro-European is simple: no one else seems to share it. You can't throw a stone in Westminster without hitting a dozen people who'll lecture you on the Norwegian model or the fact the European Parliament costs us a million zillion quid per day. But vocally pro-Europeans – those willing to say, out loud, that there might be benefits in not pissing off our neighbours and abandoning the world's largest free trade zone – are in distinctly short-supply. 1. Britain in Europe Twas not always thus: 1999 saw the launch of the non-partisan Britain in Europe (BE) campaign, intended to improve Brussels' image in the UK. Its supporters included such big hitters as Tony Blair, Kenneth Clarke and Charles Kennedy; its head of communications was one Danny Alexander. BE's initial purpose was to make the case for the single currency. But that, it swiftly became clear, was a non-starter, so after a couple of years it instead moved to focus on getting a 'Yes' vote in the referendum on the EU constitution. Once the French and the Dutch had killed that, BE wasn't fighting for anything in particular. So in 2005 it was wound up. Google 'Britain in Europe' now, and you'll find this site, which promises you the facts without bias, but also includes the disarming admission that "The factuality of the information is not guaranteed". This seems to sum up the entire debate. 2. European Movement UK There are other groups purporting to speak for Europe, but all are so titchy as to be little more than flies buzzing round Farage's head. There's the European Movement UK, which is part of a continent-wide pressure group and which calls, uniquely, for greater integration. It promises to brief journalists, correct mistakes and counter anti-European bias. But if it's had any success in this job, it's keeping it quiet: most of what little press coverage it's received was concerned with the fact that Danny Alexander used to work there, too. Its Twitter followers number fewer than 1,500, which is diddly squat in social media terms, but those who do follow are in for treats such as stock images of Euro-fans, explaining what the EU means to them. For some its travel opportunities; for others, environmental cooperation. For Daniel and Christine and their baby Hector, meanwhile, it's the fact that "EU Judicial and policing co-operation helps fight international organised crime", which is quite an advanced political position for a toddler to articulate, I think you'll agree. 3. Centre for European Reform The other pro-European think tanks are not only small, they're also not that pro-European. The Centre for European Reform, for example (followers: 3261) writes comment pieces in the FT, the Guardian, and so on. But it positions itself as Atlanticist, facing Washington as much as Brussels, and while it says it "regards European integration as largely beneficial", it also recognises that "in many respects the Union does not work well". No help there, then. 4. Open Europe More successful, but more tepid, is Open Europe. It's by far the best at making its voice heard, garnering frequent press coverage and a whopping 19,300 followers. It started life, vexingly, as the campaign against the 2004 European constitution. Today it claims to back Europe, and has the highly cosmopolitan staff roster to prove it – but true to its roots it wants a different Europe, one that emphasises free trade and the nation state. It wants, in other words, a Europe that does the bits the British like, but none of the nonsense we don't. This might explain why its backers include such prominent right-wingers as Ruth Lea, Maurice Saatchi and Kirstie Allsop – and, as so often happens when the Tories talk about Europe, it ends up satisfying nobody. To the pro-Europeans Open Europe is just a cover for exiting via the back door ("insidious", Peter Mandelson calls it); while to the sceptics, a campaign for a Europe that isn't on offer amounts to little more than a promise of a free unicorn for every supporter. 5. British Influence Last January, a cross party group of pro-Europeans (Mandelson, Clarke, Lord Rennard) decided it was finally time to resurrect BE to counter UKIP's lies. British Influence describes itself as "more than another think tank", and promises to be the "go to source for journalists and policy makers who want to hear a more balanced side of the debate". How successful it's been is difficult to judge – like all these think tanks, it's cleverly chosen a name that's almost un-Googleable. Despite being four months old, its Twitter following is already twice the size of the European Movement's, and it did somehow persuade the Telegraph to run a pro-European comment piece written by Lord Mandelson. But the only person who seems to have treated it as any sort of a force is a writer at the right-wing website the Commentator, who angrily suggested that Clarke's involvement should be enough to get him sacked. Two conclusions present themselves from all this. One is that those pro-European pressure groups that exist are entirely reactive. They're not making the case for Europe, they're just waiting for Nigel Farage to open his mouth so they can blurt out, "Isn't!" Perhaps the British press makes it hard to be otherwise, but there's little sense that anyone's even trying. The other is how unenthused even our pro-Europeans are about Europe. This may be because it's hard to shout "Bureaucracy! Yay!" with a straight face, but nonetheless it has consequences. As it stands the Overton Window – the range of policies and views seen as acceptable to the public – clearly leans towards scepticism. The result has been that the Eurosceptics are out and proud, while the pro-lobby are nervous and cowering. But this process is self-reinforcing. The more Eurosceptic the public seem, the more timid the pro-lobby has become, the less likely people are to hear their arguments – and the closer to the exit the mainstream of thought has moved. The only way to change all this is for the pro lobby to be as loudly, cheerfully, brazenly pro-European as UKIP is Eurosceptic. They might not make many friends that way at first. They might not even feel like it. But the less we hear of the case for Europe, the harder it becomes to make. Someone should make it, before it's too late. › Anita Sarkeesian's new video explores "dark and edgy" abuse of women, gets pulled from YouTube Danny Alexander, the star of our story.

Riverhead flood victim offers hope to those hit by Sandy
Linda Hobson didn't live near the shore. But her house on Horton Avenue was in a Riverhead neighborhood so prone to flooding it was dubbed "The Bottoms."
Over several decades, the town -- in a series of programs echoed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's post-superstorm Sandy plan to use federal funds for buying properties repeatedly damaged by floodwaters.
It's unclear which federal program Cuomo intends to tap for funding. And while Sandy victims, rightly, have had plentiful help, Hobson and her neighbors at one point felt they had to threaten a lawsuit to get aid.
Horton Avenue residents had one advantage, however. Their home values were computed at pre-flood 2010 prices, before the housing market crashed. That's one more reason Sandy victims might not be receptive to Cuomo's efforts.
The goal in Riverhead was to let the wetlands win, as they did in March 2010 when a severe rainstorm damaged homes at the bottom of Horton Avenue for the last time.
Hobson returned to inspect her home -- by boat -- four days later. Two weeks later, she began scrubbing mold with a brush and a mixture of bleach and water.
But the spores outpaced her efforts. "It dawned on me that I wasn't going back home, not ever," Hobson said Monday.
The social worker knows that so many Sandy victims are now going through -- fighting mold, scrambling for housing, and battling depression and despair. "My heart breaks because some of them are not going to be able to go home either," she said.
It has taken almost three years and a coordinated effort by town, county, state and federal officials to help displaced residents.
Riverhead has begun buying 12 homes from Hobson and nine other property owners, using monies from a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant. So far, they've closed on seven.
Riverhead and Suffolk applied jointly for the grant, which passed through the state's office of emergency management. The town also plans to use federal funds, supplemented by local monies, for drainage and other improvements.
Hobson said it was hard leaving Horton Avenue, where many of the families -- descendants of farm workers who migrated to Long Island from Virginia -- were related.
The house built by her parents, and passed down to her, was demolished last year. And once-close neighbors are now scattered.
"We used to talk every day," she said. "Now I see people downtown and we talk, but it is not the same because we can't keep up with each other like we used to."
But as Hobson wants Sandy victims to know there is life after the flooding. "The hardest thing was thinking, 'Where am I going to go? I've lost everything, what am I going to do now?' " she said.
She recently closed on another house in Riverhead, and is engaged to be married. One of her new neighbors will give her away.
"There were people here who cared for me, comforted me, lifted me up," she said. "That's important for people hurt by Sandy, too. It's so hard, but you need to keep your head up, keep your faith."
Hobson still visits Horton Avenue every week.
"My life was here, my childhood was here and I can never leave that behind, so I'll probably still be visiting 15 or 20 years from now," Hobson said.
"I stand and I look at where my house was," she said, "and I marvel at the resilience it took for us to get from that storm to where we are now."

Well, again here is a shot from Liscannor, Ireland. This is a little fishing village that if you blink you'd miss it. The weather was amazing and I was able to walk around the harbor and check out the beauty of the area. I happened to walk out towards the water when I remember hearing a few people getting excited. I quickly hustled over to where they were all looking to see a pod of dolphins off shore. They were swimming pretty quickly in the bay and jumping out of the water. Was an amazing sight!

The Moment Employers Need Lawyers
Watching out for a lawyer? Lawyers are everywhere and there is an abundance of legal services they can offer depending on the legal predicament we remain in. Each lawyer has their own knowledge. With sound judgment and discretion, we will have ability to pick the lawyer who would be able to assist us in our legal issue.
Attorneys concentrating on work law are expected to represent either staff members or companies. It is advisable for an employee who is filing a claim versus his or her company to hire a "plaintiff's lawyer". This kind of work lawyer has competence in representing staff members in employment law disputes. For more details please visit Herskovitslaw.
On the other hand, companies need legal representatives to help them protect their company versus claims made by a worker. Employers usually have their so-called "company legal representatives" already since services have important legal matters aside from employment law matters and staff member claims.
However, these lawyers' legal services may be restricted just to at first assessing the problems and creating a strategy in fixing them. So, if there is substantial prospective liability exposure to employment law claims, companies might need to start talking with a lawyer or law office with knowledge and ample reputation in handling stated specific claims they are facing.
Moreover, if the complainant who introduced the claim involves a labor union or arranged labor, then employers should take a various technique on the legal issues existing. The employment law has unique arrangements regarding this sort of circumstances, and employers facing such issues need to employ legal representatives or a law practice with proficiency and pertinent experience.
There are lots of lawyer sites in the internet using their specialized services. As we have worried, picking out a lawyer without appropriate discretion might lead to devastating results and leave us with the burden of having to pay outstanding charges.
Finding the ideal work law lawyer that concentrates on safeguarding companies against worker claims entail preliminary screening.
Here are a few of the classifications to watch out for to narrow down the list of prospective candidates:
– Biographical details— this can be discovered on the lawyers' and their law office' website. Based on exactly what is discovered, establish their know-how in the area directly worrying the suit being dealt with.
– Attorney profile— it is essential to know who the lawyer and his or her firm opt to represent in the case being dealt with. One can always phone to understand this fact.
– Informational pieces— these can be located through online search engine where an employer might show up with articles, reviews, endorsements, and so on, bearing the lawyer or law office's name, consequently developing its credibility.
– People's opinion— gleaning details by asking other individuals directly about exactly what they believe or heard. Ask for references. Talk to individuals who could comment on the lawyer's skills and trustworthiness. Speak with a few of the lawyer's representative clients. Get a referral from a bank and from other attorneys.
Companies can also dig up further on a lawyer's capabilities and status through searching into the following:
– State bar associations— these can offer information if the lawyer has an excellent performance history.
– Phone directory— it is likewise a good idea to look at advertisements of the lawyer or law office straight from the yellow pages to discover out if they are compelling enough.
– Local paper archives online – discover if there has been promotion and news about the lawyer or the cases she or he has dealt with.
Discovering an excellent lawyer to come up with the expectations needed of them is difficult. The employer worried must know if there are any disputes of interest on the part of the lawyer and if there is a possibility of having to keep the lawyer or law office with the required know-how.
Preference to The Real Estate Attorneys
Buying a home will most likely be the largest and most substantial purchase you will make in your life it is better to involve property legal representatives, which is unmatched and raises unique concerns of practice and its issue in a proper assistance.
A genuine estate lawyer is trained to handle the issues and has the most experience to handle them. In the normal home dealing matters, the seller participates in a brokerage contract with a realty dealership. When the broker discovers a prospective purchaser, conferences are conducted through the broker, who frequently acts as a conciliator of the well-planned association.
As soon as a casual contract is reached, purchaser and seller participate in an official written contract for the sale or to rent for a specific period, the purchase agreement. The title is searched to please the lender and the purchaser in a specific offer. The residential or commercial property is moved from the seller to the purchaser, and the seller receives the purchase price, which is negotiated in the agreement as well as in the written documents. This seems easy, however without a lawyer, the expense might be more destructive than acquiring a vehicle that ends up being a lemon.
Property lawyers can assist you to keep being far from some common issues with a home purchase or sale or associated to any crucial residential or commercial property matter. A seller might sign a brokerage arrangement that does not deal with a few legal problems and regulations of the state. This happens on a regular basis; realtors typically use normal types, anticipating that they will cover all scenarios.
Even if a lawyer is not needed throughout the course of negotiations, the purchaser and seller each might need to go over with a lawyer related to the realty field, to respond to crucial questions related to the tax consequences of the deal and other crucial affairs. To a seller, the tax repercussions may be of important significance. As the income tax repercussions of a sale, primarily if the seller makes big earnings, might be significant. An attorney can recommend whether the seller can benefit from tax requirements permitting prohibiting of capital gains in specific situations or not.

UConn outruns Oregon behind Dolson
Recommended Video:
HARTFORD -- Stefanie Dolson recorded the second triple-double in Connecticut history, with a career-high 26 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists as the top-ranked Huskies ran away from Oregon 114-68 on Wednesday night.
Breanna Stewart had 28 points and eight rebounds and Bria Hartley added 17 points, six rebounds, and six assists for UConn (5-0).
Freshman Chrishae Rowe had 27 for the Ducks (2-2), just over her season average.
The Huskies never trailed. They used a 13-2 run to open up an early 18-point lead and ran away from there.
Oregon coach Paul Westhead had his run-and-gun team averaging almost 110 points a game this season. But the Huskies held the Ducks to 31 percent shooting, blocked 12 shots and outscored Oregon in the paint 64-28.
The only other triple-double in UConn history was recorded by Laura Lishness in 1989.
Coach Geno Auriemma played Dolson late into the second half to get the milestone. She passed the ball to Kiah Stokes for a short jumper with 1:20 left to record her 10th assist and got another one on a jumper by walk-on Birana Pulido a few seconds later.
The most points Connecticut has ever scored in a game is 126, in 1998 against Providence. The Huskies seemed poise to challenge that early, putting up 62 in the first half against the Ducks.
UConn used an 11-0 run to open up a 13-2 lead just three minutes into the game. Oregon closed the gap to seven before the Huskies made a 13-2 run to stretch it back out to 28-10.
A 3-point play by Dolson gave the Huskies their first 20-point lead at 42-22, just over 12 minutes into the game. The senior center, who had not scored more than 16 points in any of the Huskies first four games, had 17 at halftime as UConn led 62-35.
Moriah Jefferson had 14 points for UConn, Stokes added 12 and 13 rebounds and Brianna Banks had 10 points.
UConn's opponents had been averaging 56 shot attempts per game. The Ducks attempted 88, 52 in the first half, but made just 27 of them.
A layup by Stokes gave UConn a 93-53 lead midway through the second half.
The biggest shock of the night came when the Ducks got a shot clock violation with 6:08 left in the first half. It wasn't for lack of trying to score as they had their shot blocked three times during the possession.
Connecticut was coming off wins over three ranked teams in the last 10 days, and starting a string for four games in five days against unranked opponents.
The Huskies are hosting Boston University, Monmouth and St. Bonaventure in the Hall of Fame Challenge this weekend.
Former NBA and WNBA coach Paul Westhead had his run-and-gun team averaging almost 110 points a game this season.
The Ducks came in having attempted 266 shots in three games and broke the Pac-12 scoring record in their season opener, a 131-91 win over Cal State Bakersfield. Five Ducks came in averaging double figures, led by Rowe's 26 points per game.
Jillian Alleyne, who sprained an ankle in the Ducks' loss to Sacramento State on Sunday, wasn't expected to play in this one. Last year's Pac-12 freshman of the year had 15 points.
The Huskies beat Stanford, Maryland and Penn State by an average of more than 18 points, despite playing the last two games without post players Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Morgan Tuck. Mosqueda-Lewis, a preseason All American, sustained a nerve contusion to her elbow during the Maryland game, and Tuck undergoing minor surgery to repair cartilage in her right knee. Both are expected to miss about a month.
The Huskies will have played 10 games by Dec. 5 and will have just 12 more before February.
The win comes the same day UConn announced a four-member signing class for next season. Kia Nurse, Courtney Ekmark, Sadie Edwards and Gabby Williams all are guards, though Nurse and Ekmark both are 6-foot tall.
