I was born with Crouzon syndrome and managed to survive 26 years with it. Crouzon syndrome, as well as other congenital defects (now, this sounds somehow nasty) like Apert syndrome or Treacher-Collins syndrome, is a condition that can make your life really difficult. They do not only affect your body and health in a life-threatening way, but also affect your visage heavily. And I am not talking about crooked nose or small chin here. What I mean are things like bulging eyes, non-existent cheekbones, underdeveloped midface or jaw… some syndromes even have things like merged toes/fingers or missing ears. Now, this is not something that you can grow out from.
The problem with this is not as much a problem of visage, but the people around and their reactions. One affected by a syndrome is getting two totally opposite reactions. One is "you are pretty as you are, the beauty lies within" (family, friends) and the other one is "ewww, freak!" (strangers, idiots and bullying kids). As you grow, you are getting questions as "why do you look like this?" or "can you not do something with yourself to look more… normal?" or "did your mommy take drugs when she was pregnant with you?" or whatever else. You try your best to look like you do not mind, but lets be honest… we all do.
Sticking out of the crowd can be really painfull, especially if you can not do anything to fit in. It is not a question of attitude, personality or knowledge. It is the visage, the first thing that people usually perceive from you, that alienates you in their eyes. That also might be one of the reasons why we usually stick close to our loving families and close friends and become quite introverted. (Or, as in case of my brother, we become "clowns" who would do anything to have people like and accept us.)
Many sites about kids/people with a congenital disease say that they are fun loving individuals leading a happy full life unaffected by their disability. Now, I dare to say that this is but a lie. I used to be quite happy as a kid, yes. Untill I got to the point where kids start to bully each other. I became inmediately a target. Of course I kept waking around with a big smile, pretending that "I do not mind the idiots, they are stupid anyway!" and everyone was cheering for me, saying how brave and fun loving person I am and how great I cope with the disability. I never did, but I was really good at pretending. I still am. (Not to mention that I was always a bit of a street dog type of girl who played war with boys and did not fear to get into a fight with anyone who dared to insult her, lol.)
When I grew older, these things became really difficult. Kids around started dating, girls were doing all they could to be the prettiest and coolest and whatever and I was stuck with this face, breathing problems and nasal voice. Cool. Was not fun really. When I look back, I was really foolish – I was trying to look good using all there silly tips from girl's magazines and on the other hand, I was saying I do not mind how I look and that I do not care. Luckily, this all is over me now.
Thanks to my family, mother and brother with Crouzon's syndrome (heavier cases than mine) and a stepfather who did not look the best either, I developed hateful approach towards any "vain plastic surgery" or "vain looks" topics. It took me years and radical moving to my grandparents to sort things in my head and realise what a fool I have been. I should not be denying, that does not help at all, but thinking about my options and then taking action to become what I always just dreamed to be – a healthy person. If I think about it, it took about 20 years to finally get to this point.
So, as for now, I decided I do not want to live a limited life anymore. I know who I am, what I want and how I can get it. I do not want to be turned down at job reviews because of the way I look, I do not want to be considered a retard by people who see me for the first time. I do not want to be "different", which is most of the time just an another word for ugly.
So I set up for this journey. A journey that should help me change my visage as well as treat my health problems caused by a congenital syndrome. I already had my palate widened, teeth lined up and now I am going to have my upper jaw brought forward to the point where it should be. When everything is healed and there is no sign of relapse, I should get some facial implants as well as some plastic surgery after the bone work is done. It will not be easy, but I believe that things will be well in the end and it will be worth the ordeal.
I really hope that this blog could help people who suffer from similar problems that I do and maybe might help them to decide to change their situation as I did, and hopefully not as late as I did.
Here are some pictures to show how Ilooked before my first surgery (SARPE / SARME) – in other words, the starting point in 2007.
This is me almost 2 years after the first surgery:
This is me about 2 months after my second surgery, Le Fort I advancement of upper jaw (with some adjustments onone side).
Only one surgery (cheekbone/orbital rim augmentation) to go and everything is behind me 🙂
And this is how I should look when everything is finished:
Well… now when I look at the pic given to me by my doctor again and more closely… oh… dammit… 😉
And yes, I love Rayman Rabbids XD

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Applicability of Brokered Deposit Law to National CD Placement Program
August 21, 1995
Valerie J. Best, Counsel
This is in response to your letter concerning the statutory and regulatory provisions governing brokered deposits (12 U.S.C. §§ 1831f, 1831f-1, and 12 C.F.R. § 337.6). You write that ABC Bank (the "Bank'') owns and operates a national CD placement program and corresponding custodial services as described in more detail in an earlier letter dated June 5, 1992. In connection with your quality improvement efforts, it is the Bank's intention to create an automated system which would permit well-capitalized insured depository institutions to enter their certificate of deposit rates electronically into the Bank's network files.
It is the Bank's view that brokered deposits gathered through such a system may be accepted by well-capitalized institutions without limit. Further, it is the Bank's view that a depository institution that lists its rates on this system would not thereby be deemed to be a deposit broker (and therefore required to register as a deposit broker with the FDIC). You ask us to confirm that both of these conclusions are correct.
Your understanding is correct. The statutory provisions restricting the acceptance of funds obtained through a deposit broker do not apply to well capitalized depository institutions. Moreover, the interest rate restrictions imposed by the brokered deposit statute do not apply to well capitalized depository institutions. Finally, the fact that an institution enters its rates electronically into the Bank's network files does not make the entering institution a deposit broker. That is, institutions entering their rates electronically into the Bank's network files are not themselves deposit brokers.
Institutions acquiring deposits via the Bank's CD placement program may be required to report such deposits as brokered deposits in their call reports or TFRs. Institutions should refer to the instructions accompanying the call reports and TFRs for guidance.
Please call me at (202) 898-3812 if I can be of further assistance. I apologize for the delay in responding to your letter.

What's going for it? You'll hear people in Manchester refer to it – as in, "Oooh, she lives up in Saddleworth" – but you'll search in vain for it on the map. They mention it on Corrie, and you'll see road signs. But you never really seem to get to a place called Saddleworth. It's more a collective noun for a straggle of small towns and villages clinging, down deep valleys, to the side of Saddleworth Moor. Saddleworth is, perhaps, less a place than a state of mind, a sort of Guardian-reading, Sunday-walk-along-the-canal, comfortably-off state of mind. Imagine one of Ken Barlow's artsier friends – beads, floral blouse, a retired lecturer perhaps, with a taste for stirring views, a converted 19th-century stone mill and a place on the parish committee. Yes, they're very community minded here. I doubt they have an evening off with all the brass band competitions, morris dancing festivals and nights out at the White Rose Society. That's right, white. The Lancashire/Yorkshire border's flopped about that much, there are folks round here who'll defend to the hilt their right to blow a mournful euphonium. You do realise I'm taking my life in my hands calling this Greater Manchester?
The case against The shadow of the Moors Murders still looms large when you mention the name. The sun seems to disappear at about 12.03pm (I'm exaggerating, but only slightly).
Well connected? Hourly trains to Greenfield from Manchester Victoria (23 mins); 21 mins the other way to Huddersfield; an hour with a change to Leeds. Trams are slowly heading Oldhamwards from Manchester. One day! Only 10 mins from the M62.
Schools Very good. Primaries: Friezland, St Anne's Lydgate and Greenfield are "good", Ofsted says; Diggle "good" with "outstanding" features; and Holy Trinity CofE Dobcross, Delph and St Chad's CofE "outstanding". The local secondary, Saddleworth School, is "good".
Hang out at... Lydgate's White Hart inn: you could be in the Peak District.
Where to buy Gorgeous old stone-fronted property, from the odd farmhouse to converted weaving mills to semis and detacheds of all ages. On the upper slopes are the poshest, but you can't go wrong with the village hearts. Prices drop a lot into the suburbs of Oldham.
Market values Huge detacheds, £400,000-£800,000 and a few up to £1m. Detacheds, £285,000-£400,000. Semis, £170,000-£385,000. Terraces, £120,000-£275,000. Flats, £100,000-£200,000.
Bargain of the week Period three-bed semi in Delph needing upgrading, £155,000, with Ryder & Dutton.
From the streets
Helen Rigby "Bleak but beautiful Pennine landscape; a favourite walk is round Dovestone Reservoir. Each village has a strong identity and in most cases its own brass band. Good place to eat: the Albion Farm Cafe outside Delph (they also have a great farm shop)."
Helen Ryan-Atkin "From most places in Saddleworth you can walk to the high moors, have a good tramp with the wind and sky raging, then finish off with a delicious pint of local brew in one of the fabulous hill-top pubs – Church Inn, Cross Keys and Royal Oak in Heights particularly recommended."
Royce Franklin "Wonderful people. Hourly trains with very old carriages to Manchester and Huddersfield. But part of one of the most deprived boroughs in the north."
Tom Robinson "Brilliant real ale pubs, and a lovely collection of villages which have names like the firemen from Trumpton."

Dialog Box
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted a common cancer drug approval for the treatment of pre-therapy adult glioblastoma patients.
The FDA approval is the result of findings from a phase 3 EORTC 26101 study, which added Avastin to lomustine chemotherapy, resulting in a reduced risk of glioblastoma progression, or proving fatal, by 48 per cent.
"Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer and can be very difficult to treat," said Sandra Horning MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development at Genetech. "Delaying disease progression and reducing the need for corticosteroids over the course of treatment are considered important goals for those impacted by this devastating disease where patients have limited treatment options."
The phase 3 EORTC 26101 study was conducted on 432 patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Patients were split into two groups. One took a combination of Avastin and lomustine, and the other just lomustine. The primary objective of the study was to determine if overall survival, progression-free survival (the length of time during and after treatment that a patient lives with the disease, but it doesn't get worse) and overall response rate.
The study found no significant
change in overall survival with the addition of Avastin. However, adding
Avastin to lomustine resulted in an average progression-free survival of more
than four months, compared to 1.5 months with lomustine alone.
Half of all patients across both
categories were taking corticosteroids as a baseline supplement. Of these
patients, 23 per cent taking Avastin were able to stop corticosteroids while on
the treatment, compared to 12 per cent taking lomustine.
In May 2009 the FDA granted
accelerated approval for Avastin for use as a monotherapy (a single drug to
treat a particular disease) to treat patients with glioblastoma whose tumours progressed
following earlier therapy. This approval was based on two single-arm trials - NCI
06-C-0064E and AVF3708g.
In the AVF3708g trial, previous
glioblastoma patients received 10 mg/kg IV of Avastin fortnightly until the
disease progressed or reached an unacceptable level of toxicity. The FDA only
considered the single-agent arm for the accelerated approval. Of the 85
patients in this category, the overall response rate was 25.9 per cent, with
the average response duration being 4.2 months.
However, in the NCI 06-C-0064E
study, which involved 56 patients who were previously treated for gliomas, received
10mh/kg IV of Avastin fortnightly. Here the overall response rate was 19.6 per
cent, with the median duration of response being 3.9 months.
Safety data from the AVF3708g study
indicated the most common side-effects from Avastin were infection, fatigue,
hypertension, headache, diarrhea and epistaxis.
Avastin is currently not reimbursed
for GBM patients in Australia.

The last time the Dow climbed above 14,000 was in 2007, just before the Great Recession and the bear market of 2008 to 2009. Lots of folks today are worried that history will repeat itself and that this is just another peak in the economy and stock prices. Aside from the similar round numbers of the major indices, however, these are vastly different times.
In 2007, there was explosive growth in residential and commercial construction. The labor market was tight and consumption in emerging markets was growing fast. Credit was readily available to almost anyone with a heartbeat. The Federal Reserve was obsessed with keeping a lid on inflation and dampening economic growth. Stock market leaders were mostly commodity-related companies. The S&P traded for approximately 17.5 times trailing earnings of $85.
Now in early 2013 we're back at 14,000, but under quite different surroundings. Private sector jobs and home prices are improving only slowly, bankers are humbled and deleveraged, two wars are winding down, and investors are obsessed with bonds, not stocks. The S&P 500 trades for approximately 14.5 times trailing earnings yet companies are expected to earn 32% more this year than in 2007. The Federal Reserve is boosting inflation today, not fighting it.
The current market advance has gone 479 days without experiencing a retreat of 10% or more. A correction in prices, of course, can certainly occur at any time. But the record for time without a 10% correction is 2,553 trading days between 1990 and 1997. So there could be a surprising amount of room left for this bull to run.

A new bill, Senate Bill 288, introduced into the California State Senate by Santa Monica State Senator Ted Lieu, would offer employment protection to people who need to miss work to attend court proceedings related to crimes committed against themselves or members of their immediate family. Senate Bill 288 seeks to explicitly give workplace protection to any Californian who decides to exercise their right, which is granted in the California constitution, to attend all sessions of court where their interests may be impacted.
The California Labor Code already offers employment protection to people selected to serve as jurors or who are subpoenaed as witnesses, and Senate Bill 288 is designed to extend this same protection from workplace discrimination to crime victims as well. Senator Lieu, who also leads the Senate's Labor and Industrial Relations Committee, hopes that this bill will serve to prevent employers from attempting to penalize employees whose work schedules are affected for long periods by the need to attend often lengthy trials.
Senate Bill 288 is designed to protect victims of major crimes like murder, rape, stalking, kidnapping and domestic violence and eliminate the possibility that they could lose their job or be penalized in other ways simply because they missed work to attend the trial of the accused perpetrator. Victims who suffer psychologically and financially would also be eligible for protection under the bill.
Although Senate Bill 288 passed through the State Senate with a unanimous 34-0 vote, it still has to be considered by the Assembly. Workplace discrimination is often subtle and difficult to prove, and retaining the services of a qualified attorney who specializes in employment law could make a big difference when you are trying to determine if your rights have been violated.

text: Eggs, ginger, pomegranates… do you ever think of these foods as sexy? Spa Week's very own Whole Living Expert, Keri Glassman, is back to help you get sexy for Valentine's Day from the inside out. (Remember when she challenged us to ditch artificial sweeteners for two weeks? That was trés sexy for your bod!). Keri, who has been all over NBC's TODAY Show lately, has just launched her very own line of healthy, gourmet home-delivered meals, Nutritious Life Meals. We're so happy to see all of Keri's continued success and we're even happier that she was able find the time to offer Spa Week Daily these sexy food tips. By Keri Glassman Let's face it… we all want to look sexy for our significant other, especially on Valentine's Day. You've finally gotten the dress you wanted for a romantic dinner, but what can you eat to ignite the big night? Here are some foods that will make you look and – more importantly — feel sexy! (Don't be a slave to the stove. For more Keri at home, you can order Nutritious Life Meals to have all these sexy ingredients delivered fresh to your table.) 1. Chocolate The relationship between chocolate and Valentine's Day is undeniable. Although it may start innocently (how sweet, a box of chocolates!), it all too often ends with feelings of remorse (did I really eat 23 mini chocolates – in thirty minutes?!). To incorporate chocolate into your romantic escapades and still feel sexy, think of combining a small dark portion with an exotic fruit or berries. [Nutritious Life Meals Pick: Pistachio-crusted chocolate dipped figs.] 2. Pomegranates The look and smell of a fresh-cut pomegranate is a great aphrodisiac! Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that help blood flow through your veins — a key component to good sex. Incorporate pomegranates into your V-Day by adding a spoonful to your morning oatmeal for a sexy-day kick start. Or, for dinner, try salmon with a pomegranate sauce. Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids – essential fats that are heart-healthy and have been shown to improve mood. The meal will provide a total mind and body boost – perfect for a passionate night! [Nutritious Life Meals Pick: Filet of Salmon with Spiced Pomegranate Sauce.] 3. Ginger Beating the bloat is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to ensure you feel svelte and sexy all day long. Many foods tout flat-tummy benefits, but ginger also helps fight inflammation – and is extremely versatile! Try incorporating ginger into your day by shaving some fresh ginger into your morning omelet or sipping on a cup of ginger tea. [Nutritious Life Meals Pick: Ginger Poached Apple with Mascarpone Cheese.] 4. Eggs It's important to start your V-Day off with a meal that makes you feel healthy, satiated, and oh-so-sexy. Eggs are a breakfast staple for good reason – they promote brain health and have even been shown to aid in weight loss. Making breakfast in bed for your guy might not be a bad idea – eggs are a good source of L-arginine, an amino acid that has been shown to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Keeping eggs on the menu will definitely help keep you feeling sexy and satisfied. [Nutritious Life Meals Pick: Portobello Mushroom, Shallot & Parmesan Cheese Egg Bake with Fresh Papaya.] 5. Oranges This citrus fruit claims many health benefits, but did you know it can also amp up your appeal? It's true! Researchers from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation found that the scent of an orange increased male arousal by up to 20%. Try serving your sweetheart a dressed up meal by adding orange zest to your favorite dishes! You can also keep it simple (and still sexy) by plating orange slices. Just be sure you're prepared for the passion it ignites! [Nutritious Life Meals Pick: Filet of Halibut with Spicy Orange Sauce.]

For us, the appeal of boondocking is the combination of natural beauty, peace & quiet and the comforts of home. But this can lead to a dilemma… how do you power those "comforts" without the sound of your generator spoiling the solitude?
You've heard us say it over and over — Boondocking (or camping off the grid) is our favorite way to RV. But having the right equipment can really enhance the experience.
For most die-hard boondockers, solar panels are a big part of that. But in the winter, with the sun never rising very far off the horizon, solar panels can use a boost. Or to be more precise… a lift.
That's where solar tilt kits come in. In this short video we'll show you exactly how much of a power increase each of our solar panels gains from tilting. We'll also demonstrate how a small shadow can reduce solar output by a surprising amount. And we'll even mention a couple of other tips about aiming them and keeping things clean.
You may have seen the recent video our friends Jason & Nikki of GoneWithTheWynns made about tilting the panels on their RV (before they hit the water, of course). If not, you can watch it here, where you can also read their great post on the topic. They delve into things we never even thought about when we installed our panels over 10 years ago… such as the effects of latitude and exact tilt angle.
In that same location where we were boondocking together, they also made a great video about whether you can run your A/C off your solar panels or not. We made a cameo appearance in that video, so you should definitely watch it here!
For some of the most comprehensive information about assembling a solar system for your RV, our friends Chris & Cherie of Technomadia.com have put together a host of great content. If you're considering solar, this is a must-read resource.
Speaking of Cherie & Chris and enhancing the boondocking experience all in the same breath, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that they are the source for the most complete information available about staying connected on the road. Learn more at RVmobileinternet.com. And should decide to join their excellent Mobile Internet Aficionados group (which we highly recommend) you'll save $5 on your first year's membership by using the coupon code "MIAGEEKS" when you sign up.
Finally, our friends Nina & Paul of Wheeling It have some great content about their amazing new solar-and-lithium-battery system, plus they have more detail about tilting their panels.
NOTE: When we mentioned in the above video that our solar panels were "perpendicular" to the sun, we meant laterally, as in they were facing due south and the sun was at its highest point in the sky that day, directly off the right side of the RV. To get the panels vertically perpendicular to the sun, the tilt height needs to be adjusted higher or lower depending on the time of year and current location.

Second New Jersey to Florida Road Trip is now in the books. This trip in March over Spring Break was my second year in a row volunteering for St. Pete GP and Sebring 12 hour. It was also my second drive down to Florida this year (first one being for the Roar before the 24). All in all I put 3,440 miles on the car. Burned 102 gallons of 93/Premium fuel. Spent $268 dollars on gas using BP, ExxonMobil and Sunoco gas cards (which with the 7% discount that I paid for them, I actually only spent $250 on fuel). Averaged 34mpg which was an improvement of 1mpg over last year, and got my best fuel economy yet with 38mpg's over two consecutive fuel ups on the drive down… Yay! I noticed gas prices were almost a dollar per gallon more than last year… And in all I did about 500 miles more since I based myself in Daytona Beach during this trip and took multiple drives out of the Daytona area for various events, from a Miata meet in Jacksonville, to St. Pete GP in the Tampa Bay area, to Sebring in Lake Placid area, and to Orlando Miata meet much like last year. It was a fantastic trip!
Interesting option of No-Ethanol fuel in South Carolina…
When leaving for the trip I couldn't sleep the night before so instead of tossing and turning I jumped in the car at 1am and headed down. The night drive was great because there was hardly anyone else on the road, which meant I could take it nice and slow. Driving in the 60's rather than 70's the gas mileage improved tremendously… so averaging 36mpg vs. 31mpg meant that on the 3 tanks that it took to get to Florida from New Jersey I extended my range by 150 miles! Or basically had to refuel less often.
Much like last year I used the Gas Buddy App to check fuel prices to strategise my drive. Virginia and South Carolina had the lowest gas prices for premium fuel. While Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and even Florida were the priciest. The most I paid for gas was $2.86 in Florida and the least was $2.39 both in South Carolina and Virginia. There's a Sunoco I really like in St. George, South Carolina that always has low prices and a few BP's in the stretch of i81/i66 where for some reason the prices for premium gas are 50 cents less per gallon than anywhere else in Virginia. (Greenville area)
My first order of business when arriving in Daytona was mounting my eBay lip spoiler… which turned out really great. Not sure if this thing contributed to my great gas mileage, but I'm glad that it certainly didn't hurt!
I decided to get to Florida a day early because of some severe weather moving into the Northeast, which worked out really well because it allowed me an opportunity to "discover" Daytona more than I've done in the past while volunteering there. So I visited a race team based in Holly Hill, a few miles from the Speedway: BSI Racing.
Next day I was off to St. Pete… I left early enough so I can volunteer for the half day in the afternoon right after registration.
This year's PWC racing was outstanding! IndyCar wasn't so bad either and I especially enjoyed it from my new position in pit lane.
I CouchSurfed while in St. Pete and my host was awesome. Just a few blocks north of the track which getting there early in the morning was a breeze. Literally took me less than 10 minutes to drive down, and that's because I had to stop at a few traffic lights.
Got some real IndyCar goodies for my Miata in pit lane… the official Firestone tire caps… No idea what team they came from but I picked up a bunch to give out as souvenirs when I travel. They sure are a lot lighter than the bag of NASCAR lug nuts I took to Australia and NZ.
Mailed my Miata buddies in Southeast Asia some #MRTI goodies from St. Pete GP.
I headed back to Daytona Beach right after the race, and the next morning left on a scenic drive along A1A towards Jax Beaches, on my Minorcan Clam Chowder foodie tour. I'm in love with my newly discovered attraction of St. Augustine (America's oldest city!) the scenery was great and the food was delicious.
Lots of Spanish influence in this area, including the Minorcan Clam Chowder… Minorca of course is the smallest of the three Spanish Islands in the Mediterranean with the larger ones being the much better known Majorca as in Palma de Majorca and Ibiza.
I ran into a Lancia – Martini Racing photoshoot while on the trip where a Brit photographer basically booted me from taking pix:
From there I rushed to join the First Coast Miata club at their monthly meeting at yet another seafood place.
Was so good to see my friend Arved there who inspired me to buy the eBay lip spoiler to begin with. It's nice to go to Miata events like this because they inspire you to do mods to your car.
Next day I was off to Sebring!
Lots of Mazda's there. Absolutely awesome event. I had a blast working in pit lane there. One of my best experiences of Sebring yet!
Right after the race I headed back to Daytona Beach… but much like last year returned to the Orlando area for an Orlando Roadsters monthly meet at Tijuana Flats in Winter Park (near University of Central Florida). For a Monday night meet it was a big one, about 30 cars showed up over the course of the event… it was super enjoyable!
And so my time in Florida came to a close… the two weeks flew quick, I would really want to come back and stay for good. Staying in Daytona Beach area was very cool because I got to hang out with a few marshaling buddies I really respect, including visiting some fine dining establishments with them…
Florida is really the best place to go for fresh seafood…
On the drive home I stopped at my favorite South Carolina BBQ place in Rock Hill called Dixie Pig to pick up a couple of orders of their famous Pig Wings in parm & garlic sauce. Brought it all the way home to share with my parents and nephew… they loved it too!
I'll be doing another one of these Southern trips next month hopefully with another two week volunteering tour of Barber Motorsports Park for IndyCar and VIR for PWC. Stay tuned…

I have been browsing around looking for some software to host my own photos. Came across the Wordpress template Photocrati. Some nice themes and you can do print and digital sales. Anyone here use it? Jill
I was just about to issue a DMCA notice to a WordPress blogger, when I noticed the last statement that I must confirm before issuing the notice: WHAT! So WordPress (http://automattic.com) now require that I have to release all my personal contact information to a stranger who has already proved that they believe themselves to be above the (copyright) law (or at best - and usually more likely - to be ignorant of it), so that I may enforce my rights? Clearly, few copyright owners will want to release personal details to infringers except as a last resort. Are WordPress trying to appease bloggers who believe that everything is/should be free on the Web or are they trying to lower their admin. costs or a little of both? This is something new, no? I certainly do not recall it being there before, and am not sure of it's validity within the bounds of the DMCA. Is this another nail in the coffin of copyright owners retaining ownership of their own work? Are we all expected to roll over and play dead, now? It certainly put me off submitting the form - which is clearly its intention.

Kristofer Buckle has been working with superstars since the '90s, when he started out making up models like Eva Herzigova and Karen Mulder. Fast-forward to 2017, and he's still all about blondes, as the makeup guru to Mariah Carey, Blake Lively, Sarah Paulson and Kelly Ripa. But that doesn't mean his new makeup line is only for the fair-haired. The QVC exclusive Kristofer Buckle beauty collection (launching Jan. 26) contains eight products for consumers of any coloring and even includes scalp-covering makeup called Full Disclosure ($42) — in Blonde, Brunette, Black and Salt & Pepper — that's meant to amp up the hairline of those whose manes are thinning. During his QVC spots, Buckle says he's thrilled to be sharing his tips and revealing some perhaps surprising ideas. "I think I'm speaking to smart women," he tells THR. "Women who have listened to the rhetoric of regurgitated beauty information, misinformation. I'm going to explain why I do things the way I do them, and some of those are going to be different from what they've been told and shown and trained to do." He also says he's speaking to women who look at the seemingly impossible beauty ideals on red carpets and will "tell her that it's all a matter of details and process, but you can get there, too." A photo posted by @kristoferbuckle on Jan 15, 2017 at 11:14am PST One of his big ideas: that the eyebrows are not actually the frame to your face. "It's not true. Your hairline is the frame to your face. Your eyebrows are the frame of your eyes. But if your hairline is creeping back because of tight ponytails, weaves, extensions, thyroid problems, pregnancy or aging, then the shape of your face is changing," says Buckle, who advises trying Full Disclosure to reinforce the hairline and return youth and vitality to the face. "We're so used to hearing these throwaway statements, and what they do is build up and mislead people. Most women are not artists — they're moms, professional people, and they do many things, whatever their passions are, but they are also burdened with the responsibility of being their own beauty consultant and makeup artist and hairdresser, so being specific is important." His plan to educate those tuning in seems to be as important as the products. But, he says, "It's kind of like a stopwatch. I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself to get all the information out in a short amount of time." His Light Enhancing Duo ($35) contains a cream and a powder, which he says is a strategy to achieve versatility and the longest wear possible. And he promises durability from the "pillowy" Cashmere Slip Lipstick Duo ($33) — a semimatte finish Buckle says looks three-dimensional on the mouth and is "what you want lipstick to be" — as well as the game-changing Triplicity foundation stick ($39), which can cover a tattoo without feeling heavy. A photo posted by @kristoferbuckle on Jan 9, 2017 at 7:04am PST The formulas for QVC have been in the works for a year and a half, but Buckle says, "I've been working on it for 20 years, probably without knowing I was doing it, because a lot of what we're putting out are things I was mixing up myself out of necessity. I've been ordering raw ingredients from labs and distributors and making my own stuff, formulating without realizing it." The initial output is just eight products, but it's because Buckle wanted customers to get his theory first, before launching more color cosmetics. "When I come out with color — shadows and blushes — I think the audience is going to understand why I made those choices. I think it's better to grow with them." As for his clients, he certainly has grown with many of them and has a deep understanding of their likes and dislikes. For example, when working with Carey, "I always approach in a very iconic kind of way to keep her very consistent, so if you're expecting Mariah Carey to walk in the room, you're getting exactly what you want." She will never wear a red lip, he says ("can't stand it"), but Lively, whom he describes as "more of a fashion girl," plays a little more. And Christina Aguilera "will do anything — 'glue that on my forehead if it looks good.' She loves experimenting and exposing herself through makeup."

They were four deaths of children and teenagers between 1999 and 2007 that shocked the community and exposed significant failings in how Central Coast public hospitals responded to meningococcal cases.
Charissa Tsouvallas, 18, Stephen Sanig, 7, Rebecca Calverley, 7, and Gabrielle Coventry, 14, died at Gosford and Wyong hospitals in that eight year-period from a disease that remains notoriously difficult to diagnose and still has a fatality rate of 5-10 per cent despite advanced treatment.
Coroners later found their deaths were "preventable", hospital staff and doctor failures were "inexcusable" and "catastrophic", clear warning signs were missed or ignored and parents' desperate pleas for help and treatment in their children's final hours were dismissed by staff. In Stephen Sanig's case a dying child was sent home with painkillers.
Now questions are being asked by Stephen's father, Michael Sanig, and Wyong MP David Harris after the death of Mischelle Rhodes, 19, at Gosford Hospital on August 29. The Macquarie University student died of the meningococcal W strain a day after she was seen by Gosford Hospital emergency department staff and sent home with painkillers. She was later admitted after her symptoms worsened but died despite aggressive treatment.
Central Coast Local Health District said it is reviewing details of the case as part of its standard processes.
But Mr Harris and Mr Sanig say an independent external review is needed because of public concern about the health system's ability to respond to meningococcal disease; data showing the mortality rate for children and teenagers with meningococcal disease is higher in disadvantaged areas and the health region's meningococcal history.
Mr Harris supported Michael Sanig and his former wife Sue-Anne's long campaign to improve public understanding of meningococcal and the health system's response to it after Stephen's death in June, 2001. He acknowledged the majority of meningococcal cases were appropriately diagnosed and treated, with good outcomes.
But the reported circumstances of Ms Rhodes' death at a hospital with Gosford's history meant the community was entitled to an independent rather than a hospital-led review to provide confidence in the public health system, he said.
The deaths of Charissa Tsouvallas in 1999, Stephen Sanig in 2001, Rebecca Calverley in 2002 and Gabrielle Coventry in 2007, and subsequent inquests exposing significant failings, meant Central Coast hospitals should be best placed to respond to meningococcal because of lessons learnt, Mr Harris said.
"Once or twice (to have problems leading to meningococcal deaths) then maybe it's the nature of the condition itself, but those four cases show we think it does need to be looked at more carefully after this latest tragic case."
Mr Sanig said he was "a bit shocked" to learn of Ms Rhodes' death under circumstances similar to his son's death 17 years ago.
"The young woman has apparently presented with certain symptoms and was sent home. If somebody presents with symptoms severe enough that they go to a hospital emergency department then you should say there's a possibility it might be meningococcal so let's err on the side of caution," Mr Sanig said.
"You would have thought by now everybody would err on the side of caution. Why wasn't she given antibiotics as a precautionary measure?"
Second Central Coast meningococcal death this year
Ms Rhodes is the second Central Coast person to die of meningococcal this year after a woman, 38, died of the meningococcal W strain during an overseas trip. A third Central Coast person has also recovered from the disease in 2018.
A NSW Health spokesperson said there have been 41 meningococcal cases across NSW in 2018, and 91 cases in 2017, with meningococcal B the most dominant strain.
Despite public concern about the relatively high meningococcal mortality rate it remains very uncommon in NSW because the bacteria is not easily spread from person to person, Central Coast Local Health District director of public health Dr Peter Lewis said.
A National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance report to NSW Parliament in 2016 found there were 26 deaths in NSW children aged 15 or younger between 2000 and 2007, during a period that largely predated most meningococcal vaccinations. There were 12 meningococcal child deaths between 2005 and 2014 after meningococcal C vaccinations were available from 2003 but before meningococcal B vaccinations in 2014, and combined ACWY strain vaccinations.
Inquests into the deaths of the four Central Coast children and teenagers found disturbing communication breakdowns and difficulties between hospital staff, between staff and parents and between hospitals and general practitioners. It also found warnings were missed because staff were busy.
Julie Calverley urged parents to "Don't worry about looking stupid. Just get up and shout, 'This is my kid. Fix it'," after she waited for six hours with daughter Rebecca in a busy Wyong Hospital emergency department in July, 2002 until rashes on the child's body showed meningococcal.
Mrs Calverley said she sat quietly for hours after arriving at the hospital at 8.30pm because she assumed if doctors were slow to attend to her daughter it must have meant her illness was not serious.
Gabrielle "Gabi" Coventry died in Gosford Hospital in December, 2007 despite her mother's desperate appeals for help and was "doomed" because of a "cascading series of systematic and individual errors", a coroner found after her inquest in 2011.
She died after "inexcusable" failures at the hospital, including doctors who became "fixated" on a diagnosis linked to a single sexual incident, and despite eight doctors being involved in her care in the final 15 hours of her life. Her hospital notes showed her mother was distressed and appealed for antibiotics for her only daughter.
Charissa Tsouvallas, 18, died at Gosford Hospital in July, 1999 more than a week after blood tests ordered by the hospital showed an excessively high white blood cell count that "should have rung alarm bells" but of a serious bacterial infection, her inquest was told. A Gosford Hospital doctor did not give the tests "even a cursory glance" when Charissa returned to the hospital with worsening symptoms. She died only days after her 18th birthday.
Her mother Terry was devastated when a coroner concluded her daughter's death was "preventable".
"It is really hard for me to go past those words," Mrs Tsouvallas said.
Michael and Sue-Anne Sanig were shattered after a coroner found doctors who clearly made mistakes in the treatment of their son Stephen in June, 2001 refused to accept they were wrong despite being challenged at his inquest.
"While hindsight is a wonderful thing, clearly in the case of Stephen Sanig mistakes were made at Gosford Hospital which should not have been made," coroner Michael Morahan said.
Number of deaths statistically average, doctor says
Central Coast Local Health District chief executive Dr Andrew Montague said Ms Rhodes' death was an "absolute tragedy" and the hospital was communicating with her family as it reviews management of her treatment.
The Central Coast has had 33 reported cases of meningococcal disease between 2009 and 2018 and four deaths during that period, including a woman who died of the condition while travelling overseas this year.
The number of cases and deaths was statistically average, Dr Montague and Dr Lewis said.
The Central Coast health service and NSW Health in general had not only learnt from the tragic Central Coast deaths between 1999 and 2007 but had made significant changes to protocols and procedures for managing patients, including formal clinical handovers to ensure clear lines of responsibility for patients, they said.
Central Coast Health has also doubled emergency department staff and provides round-the-clock pathology services at Wyong Hospital, after staff resourcing was raised at the earlier inquests.
The Central Coast's meningococcal immunisation rates for babies, children and teenagers is also high, with more than 95 per cent of babies immunised and more than 70 per cent of teenagers in school programs for years 10, 11 and 12. Immunisation was one of the major reasons meningococcal numbers are falling across the state, Dr Lewis said.
Dr Montague said the hospital agreed that transparency was necessary to ensure public confidence in the health system.
"We don't shy away when bad things have happened because it's important the community knows," Dr Montague said.
Symptoms of meningococcal disease include sudden onset of fever, headache, neck stiffness, joint pain, a dislike of bright lights, nausea and vomiting, with a rash of red-purple spots or bruises generally after the disease has progressed to a serious degree, although 25 per cent of people do not experience a rash.

A Time Lord has thirteen lives. The Doctor has lived ten of his. He has been a lover, he has been an angry old man, and he's been a spacey bohemian. Now, nearing the end of his tenth life, the Doctor is in his cruelest, coldest, and most manic incarnation. He has all the energy of a five year old with ADHD hopped on sugar, and all the cruelty of an ancient space warrior who has seen too much death to worry about causing more. He leaps, occasionally without warning, from his happy and excited persona into the angry and cold persona, half without realizing it, and half out of a need to protect himself from the monster he's afraid he's becoming.
But some background, first.
Several millenia ago, when a curse on the Time Lord race stopped all normal breeding, Gallifreyans began "weaving" new Time Lords into existence by use of a genetic Loom that would reconstitute beings and thus keep the race in existence. Some 900 Gallifreyan years ago, an unregistered child, weaved out of a human woman and a mysterious Time Lord known as 'the Other', was created. Individualistic and highly anti-establishment, the man, who eventually adopted the alias 'the Doctor', ran from his planet's legal authorities and stole a broken-down Type 40 TARDIS (in his defense, they were going to neutralize it along with all of the other Type 40s being birthed at the time) along with his granddaughter, who eventually adopted the name Susan Foreman.
Very little is known about the Doctor's family life, short of his granddaughter, Susan, whom he doted on until the time of her death, during the Time War. He grew many allies throughout many planets, not the least of which was the Lady President of Gallifrey, Romanadevortralundar (currently deceased), and it was rumored that the two were lovers. He also allied himself with the human establishment U.N.I.T. (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce), an anti-alien military force headed by Brigader Alistar Gordon Lethbridge Stewart. During his brief exile to Earth due to his constant interference with the history of the universe, Lethbridge-Stewart took the Doctor in as a scientific advisor, and gave him a home when his own planet refused him access. Eventually, Gallifrey welcomed the Doctor back, with the understanding that he would stop the actions of a rival Time Lord known as the Master.
The Master and the Doctor were friends, once, back when they called themselves "Koschei" and "Theta Sigma", respectively. When the Doctor, then Theta Sigma, brutally killed a bully in order to save the Master, then Koschei, his guilt over the murder outweighed his friendship with Koschei, and he sold him to the Gallifreyan Immortal Death, who turned the Master into her servant (or tried to, at least). The split between the friends never repaired, and the Doctor vowed to stop the Master's evil, while the Master vowed never to stop hunting down the Doctor. Few companions know the true nature of the Doctor and the Master's relationship, because the Doctor sees it as one of his greatest failures.
Despite being the "good" Time Lord between himself and the Master, the Doctor has always been an incredible rebel. He refused to submit to any establishment, and eventually ran away in order to free himself of Gallifrey's constrictions.
During the Time War, a great battle between the races of the universe, the Time Lords planned to eliminate the entire universe and exist as thought only. In order to stop them, the Doctor unleashed "the moment", which destroyed all of Gallifrey and killed every Time Lord in the universe, apart from the Doctor.
Although he has spent many centuries alone, it is rare for the Doctor to land on Earth companionless, as showing the universe to a companion is one of his greatest pleasures.
After suffering a traumatic regeneration saving the life of his companion, Rose Tyler, the Doctor began to travel once again. While falling in love with humans was considered taboo in his own culture, the Doctor had fallen in love with Rose, and although their relationship never turned sexual, he was incredibly attached to her. She brought him out of the darkness he had fallen into after the Time War, and helped him regenerate into the younger, more carefree man he was in his tenth life. When she was ripped away from him and sent to an alternate universe, the Doctor began to spiral into a darker, more depressed state. He began believing that he wasn't meant to be happy, as the one person who had made him happy in so many centuries was gone.
He then traveled with Martha Jones, losing her to her own world when he selfishly could not let her in or allow her to be more than just a replacement for Rose. He met Astrid, a waitress from Sto, and eventually lost her when she sacrificed herself for the human race on Christmas day.
Eventually, he travelled with Donna Noble, a sassy woman from London, who became his best friend. She did not see him as anything sexual whatsoever, so any pressure he felt from Martha's unrequited love for him wasn't present. He regained some of his lighthearted personality and began to enjoy the universe, traveling with an equal rather than a youngster. Eventually, the Doctor had to wipe Donna's entire memory of him and their time together in order to save her life. This act (along with sending Rose away when she reappeared) sealed the Doctor away from a carefree and happy life, and sent him towards the cold, dark person he became at the end of his life.
Most recently, the Doctor met Christina de Souza on Earth, but denied her the ability to travel with him, stating that he hurt those who did and he would never do that again. However, on Mars, when he broke the time laws to save a group of doomed settlers, he realized that he needs a companion most of all, because without them he goes much, much too far. He believed he was a god, and it wasn't until one of the settlers, Adelaide Brooke, killed herself to reset time, that he realized what he'd done. When he arrives in the city, he is still reeling from the guilt and confusion over his actions.
The Doctor is very old, which is probably the most important characteristic to take into mind when analyzing his personality. He has seen a lot and it's affected him. He doesn't give second chances, doesn't want to. He practices revenge and brutal justice, though never violence. At least, not violence he deals out. He manipulates people and situations to act violent for him. As Davros said in Journey's End, he takes people and turns them into weapons.
Despite his twisted sense of justice and his manipulative personality, the Doctor does have a very strong moral code. He believes entirely in good and evil, right and wrong. He saves worlds, but not because they're "good" or "beautiful". He does it because it's RIGHT. He wants to be the good person, he wants to do the right thing. He's lived far too long to believe there's no darkness in him, but he wants to make sure the good part of him wins out.
Yet, despite the darkness and wisdom of his age, he still has an overlaying mask of humor and naiveté. He loves exploring, loves bouncing from place to place, and loves the little things in life. He also makes light of very serious situations, presumably to make them easier for a companion or a friend who is there.
He needs people. He needs his companions, needs his friends. He latches onto them and holds on for dear life. Alone, he's left with his thoughts and his memories, with his companions he can be whatever he wants them to think he is. A lover, a fighter, silly, sexy, whatever. He's stubborn and rude but never cruel. "Never" of course meaning "unless the situation permits."
[orientation] Omnisexual. His own race is dead, so sexual contact with anyone is really very odd and taboo, seen almost as bestiality among his own race. As it is, the Doctor is far more interested in the stars and romancing the universe than just sleeping around with his companions, though he has been known to engage in the occasional sexual liaison. He has canonically expressed interest in both men and women.
[appearance] http://www.bamkapow.com/ul/4567-david-tennant-26.jpg
The Doctor also has two hearts and low body temperature. He also has blood that does not look like typical blood. Also, his erogenous zones are on the back of his neck and his elbows. Hooray alien physiology!
[wish] The Time War never happened.
[requested house] Iki
[misc notes] I will be dramatically toning down the Doctor's psionic abilities, mostly because the canon behind them is very shaky and not at all consistent. He can tell if someone is "fixed" in time, speak every language, and connect to someone psychically by touching them and connecting.
Doctor Who's 50 year canon is very fluid and while I have seen it all, I don't accept it all because sometimes it is very silly. I accept all aired television canon as canon and history, most of the audio stories as canon, and a few of the novels as canon.

[the screen cuts on, and a man is sitting there, looking at the screen with a wide smile. He looks youngish, late thirties at the most, with his tattoo crawling up the side of his face and across his cheek]
[he reaches out and taps the camera, then nods] Right, that's got that working.
Hello! My name is John Smith, I'm the newest resident here, and I've been told to inform you all that----
[he looks to the side, at an autocue off screen] ---"ready to give my services as an Entertainer. I am excited to begin my services to pay off my debt."
[the fake smile fades, just a bit, and he lets out a little sigh as he adds on the last:] As soon as possible.

Price: $47.94
Quantity: 10 available
Condition: New in New Dust Jacket
Brand new hardcover book! ; Over the past century, three nationally significant histories have vied for space and place in Independence, Missouri. Independence was declared Zion by Joseph Smith, served as a gathering and provisioning point for trails west, and was called home by President Harry S. Truman for sixty-four years. Historian Jon E. Taylor has integrated research from newspapers, public documents, oral histories, and private papers to detail how the community has preserved and remembered these various legacies.
Trumans legacy would appear to have been secured in Independence via three significant designationshis presidential library opened there in 1957, his neighborhood was designated a national historic landmark in 1972, and his home was declared a national historic site in 1982. However, Taylor argues that Trumans seeming dominance in the communitys memory is in fact endangered by competition from the other aspects of the towns historical heritage.
Taylor considers the role Mormon history has played in the city's history and chronicles how the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints returned to Independence to fulfill Joseph Smith's dream of creating Zion in the city, a situation that impacted neighborhoods near the Truman home. Taylor also examines the city's fascination with the Santa Fe, Oregon, and California trails, detailing how that history was lost and remembered and is now immortalized on the Independence square and in the National Frontier Trails Museum.
In the 1980s, the city council reduced the size of the Truman Heritage District, created to maintain Trumans association with his neighborhood, after church opposition. At the same time, city officials pushed to make Independence a major tourist destination, a move largely dependent upon the city capitalizing on its association with Truman. These inconsistent policies and incongruous goals have led to innumerable changes in the landscape Truman enjoyed during his legendary morning walks.
A President, a Church, and Trails West chronicles one citys struggle to preserve its history and the built environment. Taylor places the role of preservation in Independence not only within the larger context of preservation in the United States but also within the context of American environmental history. This volume is sure to appeal to anyone interested in public history, historic preservation, history and memory, and local history. ; 1 x 9.3 x 6.1 Inches; 304 pages; 0826218016

Sometimes a peaceful home is a precarious thing, especially when we aren't implementing the strategies to be intentional about making our home a haven. And sometimes one big toddler fit is all it takes to tip the scale from peace to chaos.
The Secret to Peaceful Parenting
I'd be lying if I said there is some kind of magical parenting potion that would suddenly make your children or parenting perfect.
But what I can tell you is that this simple technique will bring added peace to your parenting…appreciate your children.
I know you love your kids. And of course you appreciate them. But sometimes there is a gap between what we know in our hearts and what we express intentionally with our actions.
No Regrets Parenting
There are many ways that we can intentionally appreciate our children. The biggest one for me is what I call "no regret parenting."
It's something of a misnomer because we could never truly have no regrets. However, it helps me make my decisions with a higher perspective, recognizing that my time with my children is limited. Whether it is ended suddenly, or bit-by-bit through growing up, the hard truth is that our time with our children is short and fleeting.
And I want to make that time matter.
It doesn't mean we don't have bad moments, but I want to make sure that I spend enough of each day loving on and enjoying my kids so that if it were my last day with them, I would have no regrets.
Action Steps
So, what are some practical ways that we can apply this?
- Pray! Like we discussed on Day 1, that is always the first step. Always.
- Practice the golden rule…even with your kids. Some of the things that I see parents expecting of their children or saying to their children is just ridiculous. Respect your children as people. Treat them with kindness. Speak to them with kindness. "Do unto others…" includes our families.
- Prevent meltdowns. Instead of needing to deal with a meltdown, work to prevent it. Often our kids are grumpy for the same reasons we are–they are tired, hungry, hurried, stressed, etc. Remember, as moms, we set the tone in our homes. There are many grumpiness triggers that we are in full control of and many times we can stop that meltdown before it ever happens.
- Give them your undivided attention. Sometimes my to-do list is just too long and I feel like I don't have time to sit for half an hour and play a game or read a book. However, I have found that making time to spend that quality time with my kids is necessary for peace in our home. It helps me to practice that "no regrets" parenting I mentioned. I can say with confidence that I have never regretted taking time to focus on my kids, but I have regretted many times of saying "not now" too often.
Embrace this Season
"Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work." -CS Lewis
You are called to be a mother right now. Accept it. Embrace it.
So much of the tension I have felt over the years from not having time to do this or that came from my own selfishness. I'm ashamed to admit it, but there were times when I was striving for other things, and forsaking the very gift and calling that the Lord had given me. I experienced constant tension as I realized I couldn't "do it all." Something had to give.
It wasn't my family that was the problem, it was my own attitude. When I stopped fighting it, I can't tell you the peace I felt.
Maybe that means you won't get the "me time" you want right now. Maybe it means you can't write that book you've always planned, see your friends as often as you like, or whatever it is you're missing out on. But, whatever it is you're missing out on, please know that this season won't last forever. But, for now, you may need to let it go.
Embrace this season and appreciate your children.
You might be surprised at the amount of peace such a simple thing will bring to your heart and home.

Many interior decorators will tell you that a great way to enhance your home and yard décor is to place a water fountain in or outside your house. Whether it is an indoor or outdoor fountain the final look can be wonderful.
Indoor and outdoor water features are designed to add an extra touch of glamour to the surroundings. The feature's design should be impeccable and it should be manufactured of good quality to ensure the endurance and value of the fountain.
One of the popular choices among people is the lion head fountain. The lion head design can be placed anywhere in the environment either indoors or outdoors. It can come in various shapes, sizes and colors too. It is up to you to decide which color and type suits your place best and also fits within your budget.
Various types of lion head water fountains available today are:
- Marble: These fountains are made of marble or granite, materials that reflect the warm hues of a beautiful sunset. Usually, red or white marble is used. These fountains are quite popular among people due to their durability and unique designs. They can be used indoors as well as outdoors too. Generally, they range in price from $40 to $6,000 and above depending upon the fountain you choose.
- Lucerne Lion's Head Electric Fountain: These instill a relaxing atmosphere on a deck, balcony, garden or courtyard. A distinctive lion's head majestically spouts water into a tiered bowl before it cascades into the basin below. It is crafted out of lightweight and durable resin that will provide years of enjoyment. The price range of these range from $300 to $2,000 and up depending mostly upon their size and construction material.
Lion head fountains are usually installed outdoors for better function and appearance. The price range of these are higher ranging from $400 to $7,000 and above depending upon the features of the fountain selected.
Generally all the lion head shaped fountains are made up of marble or resin. Sometimes they are coated with brass and copper to give them a distinct look. These styles tend to be better investment pieces than other styles available in the market - of course the style of your home makes a huge difference too. They instill a royal look to a place, because the lion has been a symbol for power and royalty for centuries.
Before installing a lion head fountain in your house, always consult a plumber. He will be able to tell you the best place for installation or help you prepare for installation. Every fountain comes with various specifications including:
- what type of pump is required,
- where the connections are to be made in case of adding lights to the fountain,
- and the amount of space required for installation.
Proper pre-planning should be done so that you will enjoy your fountain for years to come.
Where Do You Buy These Things?
You can buy one for yourself by doing a meticulous search on the internet or by spending hours visiting all the local home and garden stores in your area. Look for discounted lion head fountains on eBay if you wish to save some money.
There are various online specialty sites that sell lion head water features along with related goods. A great place to start looking for ideas is Pinterest while eBay is likely a great place for finding very specific styles you may have trouble finding in regular stores.

Foreclosure Abandonment Laws
Homeowners going through the foreclosure process sometimes decide to move out of their homes before their actual foreclosures. To be fair, abandoning a home before it's foreclosed may help you get an early start on securing new living arrangements. Another facet of foreclosure abandonment appears, though, when a lender decides to discontinue its foreclosure, sometimes to ill effect.
Abandoning a Home
Giving up your home and walking away from it before it's been legally foreclosed by your lender is known as abandonment. It only rarely makes sense to default on your mortgage and then vacate before your lender actually forecloses it through a foreclosure sale. By law, even when you abandon your home, you still own it until it's legally transferred to others. Generally, homeowners abandoning their pre-foreclosed homes are held responsible for them by their local governments.
Zombie Property Titles
A January 2013 Reuters special report examined what sometimes happens to homeowners abandoning their homes before their actual foreclosures. Reuters found that in some cases homeowners have abandoned their homes before foreclosure only to later find that their lenders had also discontinued foreclosure. A huge number of mortgage defaults can overwhelm lenders, leading them to refuse to foreclose borrowers. Homes in which lenders abandon their foreclosures and that homeowners have also physically abandoned can end up with "zombie titles."
Zombie Title Responsibility
Though not common, your lender really can simply refuse to foreclose your defaulted mortgage rather than take a loss on its books. And homes with zombie titles keep haunting their former homeowners mainly because local governments hold those homeowners responsible for them. The Reuters article notes that homes some mortgage borrowers thought were foreclosed years before really weren't. Plus, local governments can force homeowners who have abandoned their never-foreclosed properties into court to pay abandonment fines and property expenses.
Foreclosure Abandonment Issues
Sometimes, lenders abandon their foreclosure attempts to maintain their ability to sue borrowers for delinquent payments. As pointed out by Reuters, lenders may also fail to inform homeowners with homes already scheduled for foreclosure sale that they've decided not to foreclose after all. If you plan to abandon your home before its foreclosure sale, always ensure that your lender really does foreclose it.
