Caitlin Vera Photography
Regular price
Title: Maxon
Description: New York City Street Photography
Artist: Caitlin Vera Photography
Print Styles Available:
1.) Photographic Prints---These photos are printed on professional lustre paper. The paper is high quality, industry standard, and archival (meant to last over 100 years). The paper has a matte finish and a slight sheen. The art is umatted and unframed. The size dimensions included for purchase are all standard, which makes these prints easily framable.
2.) Canvas Prints--- These prints are ready to hang. They come with finished backings, hanging hardware, and bumper corners. The canvas and inks are formulated to work together to provide the highest quality, longest lasting product available. They are built with a solid supported face which prevents sagging or warping. The canvas will arrive tight and flat. The image wraps onto the sides of the canvas (in a mirrored fashion)- a feature customers love because they do not have to frame the art. The depth is 1.25"
3.) Metal Prints--- These prints are ready to hang, modern, and durable. The metal material makes colors brightly pop and brings out the deepest contrasts in black and white images. All metal prints come with a pre-installed float mount frame on the back, so all you have to do is place a nail in the wall to hang your art. Each metal print has an ultra-hard protective coating that is easy to clean. Dyes are infused directly onto the metal, which creates a luminescent effect and excellent clarity. FYI: You will not need a frame for your metal print. The art has the appearance of magically floating ½" off the wall!
* * * U.S. Shipping is FAST & FREE! Please allow *around* 6-10 days to receive your art. Prints will arrive in sturdy and protective packaging.
About the Artist:
Caitlin loves the fact that in photography there is always a mystery behind an image.

Caitlin has participated in over 100 highly selective juried art shows in the United States, has made appearances in the news, and has partnerships with various galleries and popular establishments in the midwest.
About YOU:
When you purchase from Caitlin Vera Photography you will receive one of a kind artwork that will enhance your living space. You will also help support a small business.
* * * Returns are not accepted. If the print arrives damaged, we will happily exchange the item for you. View shop policies for more information.

Due Diligence is Like Dating to Find The One Property for You!
Real estate due diligence, like dating is necessary to find the "One"…property.
Normally, when you sign a contract to buy a property, the contract allows you time to get to know the property to find out if it is right for you.
This time is called the "due diligence period." Due diligence periods are normal when you sign a contract to buy any kind of property – whether it's a condo, house, office building etc.
Check out the 8 reasons Due Diligence is Like Dating:
1. You are "just friends"… with the property. You made the first move by signing the contract, but you and the property don't have a legal commitment to stay together. You don't own the property during this time. The benefit is you don't have to take care of the property (pay taxes, maintenance, and insurance). But, since you don't own it, you can't tell the property want to do (who to rent to, how to operate).
2. You need to invest Time and $$. To get to know a property, you will probably spend time with it and money to get know it by ordering many expensive reports including environmental reports, title reports, physical inspections, soil inspections, structural inspections etc.
3. Don't Fall In Love with the Bricks! Your Momma told you it's about what's on the inside and this is especially true for property. Do you love the numbers in the financials you find inside the books? Choosing a property with the right numbers and financials is a choice that will take care of you in the future. (This will be discussed in an upcoming blog!)
4. You want to avoid Drama. You want to make sure that if you commit to buy the property, it won't cause you future drama, so you should get to know the structure of the buildings, the environmental background and understand all the costs/risks of owning and operating the property.
5. You have to kiss a lot of frogs. Due Diligence takes time, you may have to get to know a lot of properties before you find the one that is right for you (works for your financial requirements and risk tolerance).
6. You May Upset People If You Don't Commit. You have the right to send written notice of cancellation of the deal to the Seller before the end of the due diligence period and you will most likely will get your deposit back and piss off some people.
Just like when you break off a relationship, some people might get angry with you because you exercised your right. These people may include the Broker, whose commission depends on the deal closing, and the Seller who spent time with you.
Remember, like dating, choosing a property is a personal decision, you will have to live with the property after you buy it so you have to make up your own mind if it the property meets your needs.
Try to be gentle with the people you upset. Karma is out there and the world estate world is small and you will most likely work on another deal with the same people in the future.
7. Time Your Break Up. Its important to know when to break up. In real estate you want to break up before your deposit goes "hard," i.e. before you can't get your deposit back if you go any further.
8. Beware, Don't Kiss and Tell! If you decide the property is a "Keeper," you want to keep the deal to yourself, don't tell people how good it is until you've committed. Otherwise, other buyers may make back up offers that will reduce your ability to negotiate.
If you want to live happily ever after with your property, stay tuned and read my upcoming blogs about what to look out for during due diligence!

I do not believe his name is Iron Jaw.
He is also not very funny. He needs to choose a different line of work.
"Misused" Lacking, misused. I ignore most, but that one is getting to me.
Curious Veja has never seen a worgen before? The Kingdom had humans, trolls, orcs, Tauren, goblins...but no worgen? The cataclysm never happened there? *is hit by a thrown Scythe of Elune*
26th Jul 2016, 11:05 AM
In the original lore of Solace the Kingdom was removed at the sundering. However this kind of change as Derani can be seen clearly in Absolution.
There are two races that can't be found in Solace trilogy lore. Undead and Worgen, both of which are a result of curses.
At lest that the idea, I'm kind of inconsistent with lore. Even my own.
26th Jul 2016, 7:39 PM
That would actually make perfect sense. When The Kingdom was removed from the world, the king would not have wanted any type of curse/taint to be taken up with it.
The Forsaken did not make a lore appearance until the Scourge Invasion, which did not occur until after the events of The Second War. Gilneas had withdrawn behind Greymane's Wall, so the only worgen out in the world would have been feral beasts. Draenei are trickier because in WoW lore they did not arrive on Azeroth until the 2nd Legion Invasion, buuuuut, the Exodar was just one dimension-ship; nothing to say that another ship filled with a different group of Draenei couldn't have "discovered" The Kingdom and found common cause with the king.

"With the modernization of lottery and gaming, there's a strong overlap with responsible gambling," says Paul Pellizzari, Director of Policy and Social Responsibility with OLG.
"We're not interested in attracting a narrow base of players who spend too much money and have the potential of getting themselves into trouble. We're looking to develop a broad base of players who can gamble in a healthy and moderate way over the course of their lives."
Future support for game design will help to promote those goals. OLG is building a data analytics program, for example, that will analyze player behaviour.
Data from loyalty cards can help provide insights into player behaviour by tracking changes in gambling behaviour over time.
Using such a program will allow OLG to provide players with feedback on their gambling in a casino environment.
"On a slot machine of the future, for example, we will place time and money limits on play, feature a clock on the game screen and send direct messages to the player to remind them how much money they've spent or suggest it might be time to take a break," says Mr. Pellizzari.
Mr. Pellizzari notes that the analytics tools don't diagnose problem gambling—they simply identify behaviours that may be consistent with the early signs of problem gambling, before they become a problem.
"We seek to implement helpful methods that real-life research shows will habitualize safe play habits and help us maximize a sustainable gambling model," he says.

The Rhemedies first caught my attention when they contributed one of the better songs on Capitalised: Tall Tales And Low Lives Of Edinburgh, a various artists collection put together by the Scottish indie label Dogs Got A Bone. In my November 12, 2013 review of that compilation, I noted that "Jiggery Pokery" gave Capitalised a welcome shot of glam/garage rock. Turns out, Dogs Got A Bone took a special liking to The Rhemedies as well, and has released the Edinburgh club band's debut single.
Comprised of vocalist-guitarist Calum MacGregor, guitarist vocalist Dave Hogg, bassist Steve Andrews, and drummer Andy Campbell, The Rhemedies once again offer a guitar-driven genre mashup. Led by MacGregor's evocative vocals, "Leave Me Alone" blends garage rock with the more modern sound of Oasis and Mighty Lemon Drops in the harrowing tale of a guy confronted with an obsessive new girlfriend. Although it's somewhat disappointing to find that "You'll Never See My Face Again" isn't a cover of the Bee Gees song from Odessa, the catchy track succeeds with fun backup vocals and a hard-hitting, multi-faced arrangement.

Aikido has several main schools, but the two most prominent are aikikai and yoshinkai. Aikikai is the style most typically practiced, and is non-competitive; Yoshinkai has a competitive element, but even this is not the main focus of training. As such, sparring isn't a typical aspect of aikido training; self-actualization is. Since the two main tenets of aikido are 'entering' and 'turning', 'Crossing distances' made more sense as an option. I still argue a martial arts or meditative arts category would have been nice.
Aikido's aim is to bring harmony and resolve conflict ('ai' means love or harmony; 'ki' means energy; 'do' means way; 'aikido' thus means 'way of harmonizing energy'). Our techniques, while martially effective, stop short of injury; injury means you are breaking the energy flow.
(My reading and observation of other martial arts is that self-actualization is typically the final goal, even though martial effectiveness is often what is outwardly taught.)

Dryland biodiversity is of tremendous global importance, being central to the well-being and development of millions of people in developing countries. In June 2012, at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (or "Rio+20"), global leaders from governments and civil society reaffirmed the intrinsic value of biological diversity and recognised the severity of global biodiversity loss and degradation of ecosystems. Although drylands were implicitly recognised, there continues to be inadequate attention to this major biome that covers such a vast part of our world's terrestrial surface. Yet, as this book conveys, conservation and sustainable management of drylands biodiversity offers a viable pathway to deliver international conservation and development targets. This book is a global resource aimed to aide dryland management as it is the first comprehensive analysis of dryland biodiversity that is of global importance and significance.
Many people in the drylands pursue livelihoods that conserve biological diversity in innovative ways, and often with little recognition. Farmers in the Sahel for instance practice cultivation and agro-forestry techniques that not only improve productivity and strengthen resilience, but also provide family income and numerous environmental benefits. Mobile pastoralists in many dryland regions maintain herding strategies that mimic nature, thereby promoting ecosystem functions that not only underpin their livelihood but also provide global environmental benefits like carbon sequestration and species conservation.
IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, is strongly committed to the conservation and sustainable management of drylands biodiversity. As a Union of more than 200 government organisations and over 900 non-government organisations, as well six Commissions of 11,000 voluntary scientists and experts, IUCN is strongly positioned to champion dryland biodiversity and to demonstrate and promote innovative ways to achieve the shared goals of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, as the international legally binding agreement on desertification and land degradation, recognizes that actions taken to combat desertification/land degradation and drought, and actions taken to promote biological diversity are inextricably linked in both purpose and effect. Working to improve both the livelihoods of dryland populations and the conditions of such ecosystems, the UNCCD delivers on this mandate particularly by advocating the need, and demonstrating the ways, to maintain and restore land and soil productivity and to mitigate the effects of drought. Aware of the inter-linkages between biodiversity, land and soil productivity and human well-being, the Convention acts to raise awareness on drylands biodiversity and its value, including species diversity, habitat and ecosystems. Additionally, it takes action to offset land degradation through effective ways of conserving and restoring dryland biodiversity. And indeed, the world came out of the Rio+20 Summit with an international resolve to achieve a land degradation neutral world, to be pursued with the implementation and promotion of sustainable land management practices worldwide.
For the United Nations Environment Programme, drylands biodiversity is a cross-cutting priority throughout its work on ecosystem management, environmental governance, early warning and assessment, and beyond. UNEP chairs and hosts the Environment Management Group, a UN system wide coordinating body which catalyses and coordinates action on important environment and human settlement issues. In 2011 the UN released the EMGsupported Global Drylands: A UN System-wide Response, which commits the entirety of the UN system to step up their efforts to protect and revitalise drylands, and improve the well-being of drylands communities, through a pro-active drylands development and investment approach.
Conserving Dryland Biodiversity is intended to raise awareness amongst all stakeholders and galvanise wider action to boost drylands conservation and development. It is a call to action as well as a guide to how dryland conservation and development can be equitably pursued. The book is designed to inform and remind us of the beauty of dryland biodiversity and its intrinsic and instrumental value. It demonstrates the mutual dependency of dryland biological and cultural diversity. The book includes new analyses of drylands biodiversity and an overview of approaches that promote sustainable development as well as conservation goals. It strongly underlines the importance of indigenous knowledge and culture to dryland conservation, and demonstrates an unrivalled opportunity for sustainable growth and biodiversity protection.
The commitment of global leaders cannot be translated into reality if the drylands are neglected or continue to be misunderstood. If historic underinvestment in the drylands is addressed and knowledge gaps are closed then dryland conservation will enable us to greatly exceed our global expectations. We, as heads of our respective institutions, are proud of this effort and we are committed to working, together and with others, to realise the worthy and vital ambitions outlined in this book.

Lead free/leaded solder comparison Lead Free Solder (Sn/Ag/Cu) Sn63/Pb37 (Leaded Solder) Melting Point 217-221 º C (422.6 - 429.8 º F) 183 º C (361.4 º F)
Given that my last reel of solder has lasted me 30 years, I don't feel too 'un-green'.
Lead is not the boogey-man some have made it out to be. Don't ingest it and there are no problems. This amounts to having the brains to wash your hands before eating and not letting kids gnaw on it.
I find it quite ironic that allegedly "green" groups are pushing CFLs, which contain mercury which is a problem, quite mobile once it gets loose in the environment, etc.

The Right Choice!
At last! A Nobel Prize for Literature that makes a statement! A relatively young Nobel Prize Laureate who is in the middle of his creative literary period, whose work has not long since passed its zenith, and from whom we still have much to expect!
A Nobel Prize Laureate whose work we really want to read and not – with all due respect – a has-been dramatist à la Dario Fo or Harold Pinter, or a writer like Elfride Jelinek, who is more highly esteemed than actually read.
By giving the Nobel Prize to Orhan Pamuk, the Swedish Academy has done what it has shockingly failed to do over the past few years, namely to consciously use the award's noble reputation to focus the world's attention on literature, reading, and an incorruptible literary voice.
All of this has now come about. Literature as such has been pushed into the limelight because Pamuk is not a politician or a do-gooder in the guise of a writer, but a genuine and – let's tell it like it is – truly ingenious author. We read his books, not because he voices the right opinions, but because he seduces us into reading his stories and immersing ourselves in them.
We read his books because his stories are always much more than excitement and suspense; they are conquests, conquests of worlds that somehow have something to do with the everyday world in which we live, yet somehow manage to hide themselves from our view.
Pamuk's last two novels in particular, My Name Is Red and Snow, are not only as thrilling as murder mysteries, they also open our eyes to the gaping chasms of the Turkish soul, which is torn between Europe and the Orient. They demonstrate what literature can genuinely do in a media age that is saturated and dominated by images: of all media, literature is the most free and the one that best encapsulates the world.
Words and literature are both free and liberating at the same time. Pamuk has proven this point in recent years like no other author of his calibre. Even before he was awarded the Nobel Prize, he used the freedom that his reputation as a writer gave him to remind his fellow citizens in Turkey to start the self-critical process of coming to terms with their past and addressing the issue of the Armenian genocide.
While this earned him the fierce animosity of Turkish nationalists, it certainly didn't awe him. And it is a coincidence – albeit a happy one – that on the day that Pamuk was named winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and despite angry protests from Turkey, the French national assembly passed a bill making it a crime to deny the Armenian genocide.
Nevertheless, Pamuk proved last year when he accepted the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt that he has no intention of dancing to the West's tune and no desire to run down Turkey. On this occasion, the critic of Turkey surprised many by speaking passionately about his homeland as an integral part of Europe and supporting the accession of Turkey to the EU.
This being the case, the decision announced yesterday in Stockholm turns out to be not only literarily sound, but also eminently political. The Nobel Prize Committee is making European politics: it is speaking out in favour of the accession of Turkey, against narrow-minded Turkish nationalism, and in support of the forces of balance and rapprochement on both sides.
But the cultural symbolism of the prize doesn't end there. After Mahfouz, Pamuk is only the second Muslim author to win the award, and one who writes in one of the major cultural languages of Islam. As well versed as he is in the ways of the world and as fluently as he speaks English, it is no coincidence that he writes in Turkish.
Pamuk considers himself to be part of the centuries-old tradition of Ottoman oriental literature and poetry. He plays with themes and forms that have been handed down in this tradition and cultivates them for the present day. It is this Ottoman heritage that makes Pamuk's writing so fascinating, not only for Turks, but equally so for western readers. And so, this Nobel Prize honours the great oriental tradition of storytelling that is reborn in Pamuk.
However, it does make one sorry for another worthy Nobel Prize candidate, the 77-year-old Arabic poet Adonis, who year after year is named as a likely candidate and year after year goes away empty handed. While it was galling that Adonis was not rewarded in previous years when significantly weaker candidates walked away with the honours, there is no real desire to accuse the committee of injustice this time around.
So let us repeat this wonderful piece of news: the Nobel Prize for literature is back! Even though it will not be easy for the Swedish Academy to repeat its success in choosing a candidate as deserving as this one, let us sincerely hope that this breath of fresh air from Stockholm will continue to blow for many years to come.

Angelina Jolie 'proud' to be honorary Sarajevo citizen
Angelina Jolie says she is grateful and proud to have officially been named an honorary citizen of Sarajevo and that she will visit the city this summer to personally express her gratitude.
The city held a ceremony to bestow the honor upon Jolie on Thursday. In an audio message played during the event at the National Theater, Jolie said she was "proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire."
The city decided to honor the actress for her role in preserving the "truth about the war" in Bosnia through her directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey.
Jolie was invited to attend the ceremony Thursday but said in her message she will be able to come in July.

A new iPhone 4 variant has entered its final testing stage before release, it has been claimed.
The handset is coded by Apple as the "iPhone3,2", a "solid" mole has told website BGR. The current iPhone 4 is "3,1".
It's being widely assumed that the 3,2 is the rumoured CDMA-compatible handset being developed for US network Verizon and, presumably, for other networks around the world that likewise haven't adopted the GSM standard.
BGR also suggests that it might be an iPhone 4 that supports CDMA and GSM/HSDPA 3G, allowing Apple to continue to produce one handset but one it could sell to any carrier, or any consumer in any country.
A third possibility is that it's a GSM iPhone 4 that's been tweaked to minimise the antennagate signal strength reduction, but we'd suggest that Apple's success at weathering that particular storm means that any such tweaks will be reserved for the iPhone 5 - which is also in testing, but at an earlier stage than this one, the BGR mole maintains.
Doing a universal iPhone 4 that can roam anywhere seems to us more the kind of notion that would appeal to Apple. If such a design happends to fix the reception issues, so much the better, but best not mention the war, eh? ®

Two formerly competitive health data interoperability groups have agreed to work together to share data with each others' members. CommonWell Health Alliance, which made waves when it included Cerner but not Epic in its membership, has agreed to share data with Carequality, of which Epic is a part. (Of course, Epic said that it chose not to participate in the former group, but let's not get off track with inside baseball here!)
Anyway, CommonWell was founded in early 2013 by a group of six health IT vendors (Cerner, McKesson, Allscripts, athenahealth, Greenway Medical Technologies and RelayHealth.) Carequality, for its part, launched in January of this year, with Epic, eClinicalWorks, NextGen Healthcare and Surescripts on board.
Under the terms of the deal, the two will shake hands and play nicely together. The effort will seemingly be assisted by The Sequoia Project, the nonprofit parent under which Carequality operates.
The Sequoia Project brings plenty of experience to the table, as it operates eHealth Exchange, a national health information network. Its members include the AMA, Kaiser Permanente, CVS's Minute Clinic, Walgreens and Surescripts, while CommonWell is largely vendor-focused.
As things stand, CommonWell runs a health data sharing network allowing for cross-vendor nationwide data exchange. Its services include patient ID management, record location and query/retrieve broker services which enable providers to locate multiple records for patient using a single query.
Carequality, for its part, offers a framework which supports interoperability between health data sharing network and service providers. Its members include payer networks, vendor networks, ACOs, personal health record and consumer services.
Going forward, CommonWell will allow its subscribers to share health information through directed queries with any Carequality participant. Meanwhile, Carequality will create a version of the CommonWell record locator service and make it available to any of its providers.
Once the record-sharing agreement is fully implemented, it should have wide ranging effects. According to The Sequoia Project, CommonWell and Carequality participants cut across more than 90% of the acute EHR market, and nearly 60% of the ambulatory EHR market. Over 15,000 hospitals clinics and other healthcare providers are actively using the Carequality framework or CommonWell network.
But as with any interoperability project, the devil will be in the details. While cross-group cooperation sounds good, my guess is that it will take quite a while for both groups to roll out production versions of their new data sharing technologies.
It's hard for me to imagine any scenario in which the two won't engage in some internecine sniping over how to get this done. After all, people have a psychological investment in their chosen interoperability approach – so I'd be astonished if the two teams don't have, let's say, heated discussions over how to resolve their technical differences. After all, it's human factors like these which always seem to slow other worthy efforts.
Still, on the whole I'd say that if it works, this deal is good for health IT. More cooperation is definitely better than less.

I've been critical of the assertion that the Game movement is an ideal vehicle for HBD to hitch a ride in on its way to popular acceptance. Roissy just posted on the subject. This excerpt gets at the most important part of that post:
So HBD nerds need to get over the obvious "money/looks/fame" box within which they argue and constrict themselves, and begin to see that, like human differences in general, there is room to remake ourselves into better versions of who we are. To deny this is to deny there is any reason to put forth effort into anything of note after birth. There is more than one way to pierce a pussy. Women love game-spitting charming assholes as much as they love resource-providing stoic captains of industry. There is no contradiction in this observation.
As I point out below, the condescending attitude directed at those who aren't sold on the narrative isn't something to get caught up on. It's part of the game, er, Game. I suppose I could seriously argue that Game is a way for guys who aren't where they'd like to be in terms of "money/looks/fame" to convince themselves that they are at least on par with, if not superior to, those who have more money, better looks, and greater fame than they do, but who tend to excuse themselves to use the restroom in casual conversation rather than just leaving mid-sentence to heed nature's call like PUAs do. Yet even though it's said that status is everything, there is no concrete evidence that this is the case, and even if it were, it does not speak to the veracity of the narrative. Ideas, not the people who promote them, is what we're after, right?
Great post. The errant idea that Game somehow epitomizes the realities of HBD needed to be tempered. That Game takes down the feminist myth about gender being a social construction by illustrating that there are differences in what men and women are attracted to (the primary point of difference being how on the guy's pie chart physical attractiveness also covers all the space that is devoted to social status on the girl's chart) is, from an HBD evangelist's perspective, solid gold.
However, the fact remains that Game is founded on the premise that all the female detection mechanisms that have been honed by selection (natural and sexual) throughout human evolutionary history do a pretty crummy job at what they're commissioned to do. The degree to which they fail is open to debate–and your assessment is more attuned to reality (they do an okay job, but they're far from precise) than those made by some of your most zealous minions (they basically don't exist) are–but it's axiomatic that they are significantly flawed.
This is in contrast to the detection mechanisms of men, which are far more perspicacious than those possessed by women are. Science has thrown a few wrenches into man's well-oiled machine with plastic surgery, breast enhancement, and the like, but prior to World War I, women were almost powerless to do anything at all to influence male detection mechanisms.
HBDers like OneSTDV and Randall Parker (both of whom I have great respect for) would be wise to acknowledge this. That by no means implies that either HBD or Game is bunk–genetics and ancestry aren't everything–but they aren't natural bedfellows. Using one to push the other is akin to using geology to sell people on the wonders of chemical engineering–there's a bit of overlap, but we're not talking accounting and finance here.
I don't take any offense at the slights directed my way, either. The atmosphere is such that to question any aspect of Game is to tacitly admit to being unsuccessful with women, much like questioning the idea that discrimination is the reason for the black-white achievement gap is to tacitly admit to being a racist. Conveniently enough, my recent tangling of tongues and limbs with a voluptuous black girl serves as a refutation two-fer, but I don't get bent out of shape when my anonymous pseudonym is disparaged as being piloted by a 40 year-old virgin who leads Klan cross-burnings on the weekends!

Torrington Towers' bed bug problem remains 'under control' according to officials
Torrington >> A recent bed bug scare in the Torrington Towers brings up past issues of infestations in the 200-unit federally funded living facility located at 52 Summer St.
Claudia Sweeney, Housing Authority executive director, said this is "old news," when she was questioned about the issue.
"We have had a problem in the past," said Sweeney. "We have been spraying on a preventative basis for over a year."
Sweeney said that units where there have been outbreaks in the past get sprayed on a bi-weekly basis. She identified the large and fast turn over of residents as the reason for their continued spraying.
Generally, the Towers sees a turnover of about five to seven residents per month. That number rises in the summer and falls in the winter.
A source at the Visiting Nurses Services of Connecticut also acknowledged that they have heard of issues in the past, but nothing in recent weeks.
"I would say it's totally under control," Sweeney said of the bed bug problem.

Equity Futures are down this morning:
The Dollar is up slightly and bonds are up strongly.
Very little in the way of economic data today, just the MBA purchase index. Here's what Econoday has to say:
HighlightsTomorrow is the Philly Fed, Leading Indicators, and Jobless Claims. Existing Home Sales will wrap up the reports on Friday.
MBA's purchase index rose 3.9 percent in the Aug. 14 week for a third straight gain (index levels not provided). The refinance index rose 6.9 percent. The report said the refinance index has been swinging back and forth in line with changes in mortgage rates while the purchase index has been moving gradually upward. Mortgage rates swung lower in the week with 30-year loans down nearly 25 basis points to an average 5.15 percent.
Since there's not a lot of data this morning, I thought I would share a lot of Hot Air and exactly how much heat the idiot bought and paid for politicians are beginning to take from the public… Barney Frank, what a piece of work:
The headline on Bloomberg said that China entered a "new bear market." That's right, down 20% from its 2009 peak already. Who would've guessed? And look around, who was it that just last month was touting their markets? Pay attention to the "experts," if they do not talk about bubbles and risk, it's probably because they don't see them or they are paid not to.
The /ES is down in the 980 area this morning… 970 is support and there is the next lower pivot at 961. McHugh actually was calling yesterday's rebound a small wave 4 and is thus looking for a wave 5 down, but he is unsure of the degree. Right now I believe that we're just going to have to be patient and watch the deflationary forces remove the excesses, hopefully those forces will be strong enough to remove the likes of Barney Frank!

Do you know why hipsters like ice? Because it was water before it was cool. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Jeep is probably the world's first Tumblr-ready restoration, but you'll still need to decide if its price also needs to tumble.
You know something that people just don't say anymore? "Well, there's something you don't see everyday." That's what. Yep, with the Internet, 24-hour media, and the death of social propriety, we've pretty much seen it all.
Yesterday's 1986 Ford Escort showing up for sale, in of all places Michigan, proved however to be an excellent opportunity to pull out and dust off that chestnut of a phrase. Sadly for the seller, a narrow 53% of you couldn't see paying the asking price for the beast on any day.
Hold on a second, I want to send a Snapchat. Oops, it's gone. Let me try that agai… nope, that one too. Okay last ti- dammit!
Look, I'll be the first to admit that I don't participate in social media to the extent that some people do. I am on the Twitter (#robemslie), I also Facebook when I have a good fart joke or a sassy bon mot to share. I have however spackled over all those other cracks into my personal life because geez, when I finally go I want there to be something that people can share about me at my memorial that they didn't just read off of Google.
That is perhaps why the ad for today's 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer strikes me as a little incongruous as it seems written by someone from the hashtag generation, or at the very least by a couple whose dream has always been to be featured in an American Apparel ad.
Winsomely nicknamed Wags and offered in an ad featuring professionally snapped shots of what one assumes to be the seller (Beardo) and his wife (Blondie), this is an SUV from before SUVs were cool. The big Jeep is described as having been lovingly restored by the couple over the past 18 months or so, while still surviving as a daily driver for Mrs Seller while she went for chai tea, or drove around looking for people to commiserate with over the dearth of places where you can by music on vinyl. I'm projecting there, none of that is actually in the ad.
Some of the work that has gone into this 154,000 mile Grand Wagoneer includes new paint over what's said to be straight and rust-free bodywork as well as new wood grain siding. On the inside, both the headliner and carpet are new, however there's no word on whether the latter matches the drapes.
Mechanically, the consumables seem to have mostly all been renewed, along with some updates owed to wear and tear - alternator, rear main, etc., - and there's a rebuilt and upgraded transmission.
Is everything just hunky dory in hipster heaven here? Well, in a word no. There is the somewhat alarming note that the 'terribly problematic emissions system' has been eliminated. This truck's in Florida, and as we all know, anything goes in that place. Anywhere else however, were registration requires a visual inspection or - god forbid - an actual emissions test, things could turn ugly.
There's also the note that the 4Wd selector was eff'd up during the tranny work and hence the Jeep is at present not trail rated. Note to seller; FIX that. You may not need 4WD but that's a pretty important reason people buy these things, not just for their ironic fashionableness. Yeah, and fix the fuel gauge sending unit too. Seriously dude, you're pissing me off.
The seller is asking $10,999 for this Jeep (without the fixes), and he claims that his wife will aver to it being 'worth that and more.' I think I'll hold out for a more unbiased opinion, like say, yours!
What do you think about this hipster Jeep for $10,999? Does that price raise your Pinterest? Or, does it make you say Oh-Snap-Chat?
You decide!

EXCLUSIVE: Watch Poppy Interview Poppy About Poppy
By: Jordana Kalmanowitz
She's Poppy. A cross between an android and a human – a small, doll-like, YouTube sensation -- the most confusing being we've seen before our very own eyes. For those of you who might not be familiar with her, she loves fame, making incredibly strange videos and has a robotic aura about her that we find oddly endearing. To be honest, whatever she is we don't care because we love her for it.
Related: Did Cardi B Really Throw a Shoe at Nicki Minaj? Poppy Confesses, There May Be a 3rd Person...
When we found out Poppy was coming to our studio to talk about her upcoming album, Am I a Girl? so many questions entered into our minds.
Who is Poppy?
Is there a real human underneath this character?
What do you ask a half human - half android?
Is this really happening?
Alas, we figured there was only one person who would really get to the bottom of this, and that is Poppy herself. Just to take this all one step weirder, we went back to nineteenth-century French novelist, Marcel Proust's infamous Proust Questionnaire. And this is what happened when history met the future.
After all, we can all agree that Doritos really do equal happiness.
Poppy's new single Time Is Up is out now and her new album Am I a Girl? is out October 31st. But if you are as obsessed with her as we are, feel free to join the Church of Poppy. It's not a cult, she promised.

Parks To Break Ground On Improvements To Little Bay Park
NYC Parks announces that ground will be broken this week on Little Bay Park in Queens. The $5 million project will create a new public restroom and an expanded parking lot in Little Bay Park.
"This groundbreaking will mark the much-anticipated start of construction at Little Bay Park, as well as the end of our planning process for this complex coastal project" said Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski. "I would like to thank our partners at the local, state and federal levels for funding this project, and the work that they have done to get this project approved."
The completed project will include a new public restroom and an expanded 224-car parking lot, with bioswales that will clean and absorb runoff, reducing the burden on the area's stormwater drains. As part of this project, new trees and shrubs will be planted and new utilities will be brought in. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2014. Portable toilets will remain on site until the completion of construction.
This project is funded with $5.04 million – including $2.306 million allocated by Mayor Bloomberg, $2.016 million in Federal transportation grants through the NYS Department of Transportation, and $720,000 allocated by the City Council. Due to the transportation funding used, this project required review by the NYS Department of Transportation, and because of the park's location on a coastal wetlands site, approval by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and NYC Department of Environmental Protection. In addition, nearby evidence of prior archeological significance required additional review and approval by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
The shores of Little Bay were originally inhabited by the Mantinecock tribe. In 1644, King Charles I of England gave 16,000 acres of land to his countryman William Lawrence. The grant, which included today's Bayside, stimulated European settlement in the area. In 1683, when the Crown organized the New York colony into ten separate counties, the land became part of Queens County, which encompassed both present-day Queens and Nassau Counties.
The Parks Department acquired Little Bay Park in September of 1950. Previously known as Clearview Park, the property was renamed to Little Bay Park in 1973. I n 2010, a new dog run was added to Little Bay Park, thanks to $500,000 allocated by the City Council.

I've got a question about the API's Chat ID that you can get. Is this only related to the public messages of a game? If so, is there any way to get if a team has chatted?
I have written a simple script that I will be adding to Conqueror to add notifications for Chat updates, but I'd like to know how it will work. Only public messages is kind of restricted.
Finally, is there any way for me to get the actual message? An ID is nice as I can see if things are new or not easily, however, from a users standpoint the actual message would be more helpful.

Good to see the Catholic church learning (however slowly) from its mistakes.
The Italian Bishop's Conference (CIE) has issued guidelines on child protection that inform its bishops that they are 'not obliged to report illicit facts' of child abuse to the police.
In their new five page document which advised Italian Bishops on how to deal with paedophilia they failed to focus on one of the most important and obvious means of combating the crime – informing police authorities.
Instead the document read: "Under Italian law, the bishop, given that he holds no public office nor is he a public servant, is not obliged to report illicit facts of the type covered by this document to the relevant state judicial authorities."
Not learning from their mistakes after all, then.

Ahead of her tour dates with Swans in September, DiS is thrilled to premiere Carla Bozulich's new video.
'Deeper Than The Well' features on her new album Boy, which was released on Constellation back in March. It's a fantastic record. So good in fact that (spoiler alert!) it has made our forthcoming list of the 20 best albums of the first half of 2014, with DiS' J.R. Moores commenting:
Bozulich has described Boy as her "pop" album. It isn't pop, it's as bloody weird as ever, only all the songs are under five minutes long. It's wonky modern blues of such musical and lyrical depth that the album reveals something new each time you give it a spin. Who needs Tom Waits anyway?
Without further ado, here is the video:
Pick up a copy of the album from cstrecords.com.
Carla Bozulich is an art-punk heroine. Time and again she has headed up bands that sound like nothing else and arguably stake out genres unto themselves: the bent agit-prop of Ethyl Meatplow; the ferocious roots-tinged epic rock of The Geraldine Fibbers; the vocal-driven sound-art of Scarnella and Evangelista; her large-scale performances including the ongoing Eyes For Ears series. Her first "solo" record, the 2003 album-length cover of Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger, was rightly hailed as a masterpiece of reinterpretation and recontextualisation. Her first album for Constellation was 2006's Evangelista, after which Bozulich adopted the Evangelista moniker for subsequent work, and released three more albums between 2008-2011. She has set aside Evangelista for now, to focus on the songs that form Boy, her third record under her own name.
Boy is Carla's self-proclaimed "pop record" and undoubtedly it is, albeit within the context of her particular path of experimentation and deconstruction. Boy is a refreshing and much-needed reminder of what pop – as an oblique angle, influence, and intent – can do in the hands of a ferociously commanding singer/lyricist who has cut her teeth on genre-bending, genre–blending, and DIY aesthetics. Bozulich says she was "resuscitated" in her teenage years by punk rock, and then "destroyed, in a good way" by people re-inventing the idea of how music works. Here is a batch of ten songs that clock in at 3-5 minutes each, mostly hewing to recognizable structures of verse, chorus and bridge, but full of destabilizing accents and strategies, and nothing that could read as winking irony, gloss or mere effect/affect. The songs are grounded by hooks and melodies, delivered by the singing itself, with the underlying instrumentation and arrangements always in the service of Carla's voice and lyrics – in that respect, there is a strong through-line from the Evangelista albums. But Boy sharpens and focuses each song's intent and structure; unlike most of the Evangelista work, this new album, apart from a song or two, would not be mistaken for sound art, dark ambient, or quasi-Industrial music.
While she wrote most of it, played the majority of the instruments and made the album artwork, the album's creation was aided, abetted and sometimes rescued by the input of John Eichenseer (aka JHNO). The duo traveled and played together all over North America, Europe, South America and India - with a particularly fruitful burst of writing on a tiny island off the coast of Istanbul. They joined the Italian drummer Andrea Belfi in Berlin to record with his impeccable rhythmic support. The songwriting reflects a life of travel - remaining purposefully uprooted and nomadic, living without ever really unpacking that single bag - and guided by some of Bozulich's most perceptive, honest and sometimes venomous lyrics.
Boy unfurls a beautiful, unsettling narrative wrung from an artistic life of unflinching creative experience, commitment, courage and learning. It is sharp, supple, satisfying and generous.
Here's another track from Boy

By season's end, these players will be best of 2013
Some easy choices, like Miggy and Mo, and some close ones, like Puig and Molina
With the All-Star Game in the rearview, there's nothing to do but look ahead. So we at MLB.com decided to do just that.
A panel of experts took a crack at trying to figure out what the team of the season will look like at the end of September. We know about 60 percent of the year's results already, so we have a head start. But we don't know everything yet.
So here's what you need to remember. First, we're not naming the team of the first half; that would be easy, and besides it's what baseball just did at the All-Star Game. And we're not naming the team of the second half; that would be largely guesswork, trying to figure out what's going to happen in 65-70 games.
We're combining the two and attempting to name what we think will be the best full-season squad at the end of the year. That includes both the games that have already been played and the ones that are yet to be played.
Here's what we came up with:
Catcher: Yadier Molina, Cardinals
And right from the top, we get an example of why this is such a difficult task. At this moment, Molina has an edge over the Giants' Buster Posey, since his defensive advantage outweighs Posey's offensive advantage. We don't really know how either player will hit in the second half, but the nod goes to Molina for his all-around game and the fact that he catches quite a bit more than Posey.
First base: Chris Davis, Orioles
At first base, it's a matter of one guy being so far out in front that, even if he fades a bit, he's still likely to be the man at the end of the year. If you were picking a team of the second half only, you'd likely go with the Reds' Joey Votto. But Davis has all those homers (37) and RBIs (93) in the bank. Even if he comes back to earth somewhat -- and that's likely -- it's difficult to see anyone catching him. Including Votto.
Second base: Robinson Cano, Yankees
This one definitely falls under the category of close calls, with multiple legitimate candidates in both leagues. But no one has a stronger record of recent success than Cano, who is enjoying another excellent season and has been helping keep the Yankees offense afloat. There are surely cases to be made for Boston's Dustin Pedroia, Cincinnati's Brandon Phillips and St. Louis' Matt Carpenter, but of all of them, history suggests Cano is the most likely to play at an MVP level over the next 2 1/2 months.
Third base: Miguel Cabrera, Tigers
It's a good thing Cabrera has taken his game to another level, because he has a serious chaser in his own league. The Orioles' Manny Machado is emerging as one of the greatest and most exciting young players in the game. However, Cabrera has moved from magnificent to historic levels of production, and even Machado's defensive advantage doesn't outweigh Cabrera's spectacular bat.
Shortstop: Troy Tulowitzki, Rockies
There weren't many easier calls than this one. The only question is whether Tulowitzki stays healthy. If he does, he is simply the best two-way shortstop in either league, and it's not especially close. He's a first-rate defender and an MVP-quality hitter. Even playing only 64 games, he was the best shortstop in the first half. Give him a full second half and he's extremely likely to be the man for the full season.
Left field: Mike Trout, Angels
From one of the clearest calls to one of the most difficult. Left field is laden with superb choices, from the Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez to the Nationals' Bryce Harper to the man we chose, Trout. Gonzalez has the raw numbers. Harper has the power. But Trout keeps doing what he did last year, showing no sign of slowing down. He also combines superb offense with exceptional baserunning and defense. There isn't a more complete player in the game.
Center field: Andrew McCutchen, Pirates
Here's one case where we deviated from the midseason winner. That would likely be Carlos Gomez, who's having a spectacular year for the Brewers -- or perhaps Trout, who's played a lot of center in the absence of Peter Bourjos. But we're figuring that by year's end, McCutchen will have re-established himself as the game's premier two-way center fielder. He's not far behind right now.
Right field: Yasiel Puig, Dodgers
Here's one where we're likely to take some heat. So be it -- our panel believes in the youngster with the spectacular tools. Nobody really knows where the season or his career will take Puig, but it's going to be awfully fun to find out. His combination of power, speed, and defense means that the sky is the limit.
Designated hitter: David Ortiz, Red Sox
Who else could it possibly be? Ortiz was the best in the first half. He's been the best DH on a yearly basis for the better part of a decade. It's conceivable that somebody could have a spectacular second half and make this a race, but it's not likely.
Starting pitcher: Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers
Here's another case where a midseason tie is broken by track record. At the break, the Mets' Matt Harvey vs. Kershaw is a fair and open debate. But Kershaw's longevity as an elite pitcher wins out here. We simply don't know how Harvey will hold up over his first full big league season.
Relief pitcher: Mariano Rivera
Speaking of track records... Nobody has a better one than Rivera. Guys like the Braves' Craig Kimbrel and the Reds' Aroldis Chapman are tremendous, but it's tough to have more confidence in any reliever finishing the year with a better performance than Rivera.

With over 500,000 new residents coming to Texas each year, new housing development is being forced to keep up. The share of residential units added as a proportion of the state's population shows that Texas grew its housing supply by over 10 percent for every household during the period, more than double that of California and New York. Some of the top Texas metros and their surrounding areas including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio have held some of the largest increases in new residential growth across the nation in recent years. San Antonio was the Texas city with the largest population gain from July 2016 to 2018, adding over 60 people every day – making it the nation's seventh-largest city.
With this demand for housing outweighing the available properties in the state's most desired city and suburban locations, an influx in both rental costs and home market appreciation is on the rise. Developers and property firms are more focused than ever on breaking new ground to make room for new and relocated renters and buyers.
Dallas-Fort Worth-based Western Rim Properties is focusing its expansion in some of these top surrounding city locations with three new projects coming in summer of 2019 to areas like Rowlett and Farmers Branch, and San Antonio. With its communities serving the growing need for affordable rental properties that provide some of the area's highest quality accommodations, the development locations are also positioned where the market is headed. With a booming economy and job market that helped land Dallas as one of the top 10 home markets in the nation, it's no surprise costs are increasing in the city and more people are looking for affordable alternatives near this leading location.

How To Do Downward Dog (Cute Infographic!)
I have a slight curvature to my spine, because I have scoliosis. It's always made downward dog a frustrating pose for me. But since the pose occurs throughout my daily practice, I knew I had to make peace with it. And, really, once you learn about the dynamics and inward attention this pose requires, you can see why it's such an essential part of every practice, no matter the style of yoga.
Many teachers will refer to this as a resting pose. I don't know if I'd go that far. After all, coordinating hips, knees, core, shoulders, spine, feet, hands, and elbows is no small feat! But I do think it's a reflective pose.
Think about it: your hands and feet are grounded. Your bandhas are engaged, and your gaze is directed inward, back to the center of your body. This is the place in which to take stock and, even if it doesn't feel like a vacation, it's definitely a place of restoration.
Here's what to keep in mind when practicing downward-facing dog:
- Is my navel drawn in?
- Is the pelvic floor drawn up?
- Now that I've created space in the core, can I press my hamstrings back while sending my heels down?
- Are my knees drawn up, encouraging that line of energy to move up the midline of my body?
- Having flat feet, I always send my awareness there next.
- Am I collapsing through the arches?
- Are my big toes engaged?
- Once that foundation feels stable, I move my awareness to the hips.
- Can I stretch and straighten my lumbar spine? Can I tilt my sitting bones a bit more toward the ceiling, encouraging the hamstrings and spine to lengthen? (This is where the curvature of my spine gets a little frustrating, but we do what we can with the bodies we have.)
Next, the torso.
Belly still drawn in?
Are my ribs splaying open in front, or are they knit together? I draw them in, which helps counteract the impulse to sway my back into an arch.
My elbows tend toward hyperextension, so I do the best I can to keep a microbend here, though I admit I don't always have an awareness of it, since the bend feels unnatural. I think of pressing my forearms forward while drawing my triceps down and around, wrapping them toward the midline of the body. (Downdog mantra: hug everything to the midline.)
Now the hands. Is there too much pressure in the heels of my hands? Am I distributing my weight evenly through the knuckles of my first fingers and thumb?
I often think here of pressing away from the floor as I draw my belly in and my hips up. That dynamic movement of hands pressing down, hips drawn up, gives me more space for my spine. I think of an elastic band — one end attached to the floor, the other being pulled toward the upper corner of the room. This keeps my shoulder blades from hunching on my back or up by my neck.
Then, I like to take a deep inhale through the nose, sighing it out through the mouth. I settle. I forget the inventory I've just taken and I feel the pose in my body. Without having to think about it, I make subtle adjustments and turn my gaze inward, toward my knees or (on flexible days) my belly.
Oh, and I breathe.
Usually, I remember to breathe ...
