All That Glows by Ryan Graudin
Release Date: February 11, 2014
Publisher: HarperTeen; 480 pages
Emrys—a fiery, red-headed Fae—always embraced her life in the Highlands, far from the city's draining technology, until she's sent to London to rejoin the Faery Guard. But this isn't any normal assignment—she's sent to guard Prince Richard: Britain's notorious, partying bad boy and soon-to-be King. The prince's careless ways and royal blood make him the irresistible for the dark spirits that feed on mortals. Sweet, disheveled, and alive with adventure—Richard is one charge who will put Emrys's magic and heart to the test.
When an ancient force begins preying on the monarchy, Emrys must hunt through the London's magical underworld, facing down Banshees, Black Dogs and Green Women to find the one who threatens Richard's life. In this chaos of dark magic, palace murders and paparazzi, Emrys finds herself facing an impossible choice. For despite all her powers, Emrys has discovered a force that burns brighter than magic: love.
Ryan Graudin grew up in Charleston and graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in Creative Writing in 2009. She is the author of All That Glows and The Walled City. She resides near Charleston with her husband and wolf-dog. You can find her online at www.ryangraudin.com.
Her work is represented by Josh Adams of Adams Literary.
I am only a quarter of the way through this book and I am just dying of curiosity to know how much research went in to writing this book? Not only is there a ton of detail to history here but there's the history of fae and the spells that they say – while this is a book of fiction, I can tell a lot has gone in to this book; have you visited places you talk about and how much time was spent online looking up the fine details?
Research is a funny thing, because people assume that you do it all at once. For me, research is more of a lifelong endeavor. I picked up a lot of things over the span of many years. I grew up on stories of Camelot and faery lore, took an Old English class in college (which is what I based the Fae spells on), traveled to London several times, toured Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London when I was sixteen, hiked through the Scottish Highlands with my husband, rode the London Eye on a cloudless day. There were definitely places in the book I haven't been. And for those I hunted through my London and Britain guidebooks for details I could use to make the locations come to life.
Was the title always "All That Glows" or was it changed along the way? I know a lot of authors don't get a lot of say in covers, but how much control did you have over the title and what kind of process does have?
The title I gave it while rough drafting was "Godmother" (I called all the guardian Fae godmothers in the first draft) but my agent and I both decided it sounded to old womany. The title was then changed to "Luminance Hour", which is the title it sold to HarperTeen under. The marketing team decided that was too complicated of a title (and they were right, it was a big tongue twister!) and wanted to change it. I actually came up with a whole list of title suggestions and sent it to my editor. "All That Glows" was on there and they snapped it up straightaway. I was happy to have a title I really loved.
There are a lot of fairies books out there that seem to each have their own take on the history of fairies and their world (though lots of similarities, too) – what is one of your all time favorite fae books/series?
Faeries definitely have a wide birth of lore to draw from (which I think is why many authors have tried their hand at them). I really enjoyed Laini Taylor's Faeries of Dreamdark books. Her faeries are quite different from mine: tiny, with wings, they hunt things with knives and ride crows. Her world was dreamy and innovative. So unlike ours, yet in ours.
What was one of your favorite scenes to write in All That Glows?
I'm a sucker for fight scenes. So pretty much all of those. I also really enjoyed writing the scene where Breena and Emrys go hunting for soul feeders in London's largest night club.
If you could co-author a book with any writer, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Oh man. I think I would have a hard time being a co-author, just because I like being in full creative control of my projects. But I do think it would be amazing to work with someone like Joss Whedon. His ideas are phenomenal and his character development is something to be envied. It would be fascinating to see how he worked and to be involved in his creative process. (Firefly forever!!!)
Here's a few questions with the ever swoon-worthy, Prince Richard!
Does it bother you that your family feels you need some growing up to do and that all you seem to do is go out and get pissed every night, sometimes not even remembering what happened while drinking? You're a Prince, after all, and lots of eyes are always watching you . . .
Like you have to remind me. It isn't a day that ends in –Y if my bloody face isn't plastered all over The Sun. But yeah—the family thing. I guess Dad has a point. And Belle does too. But they've always found the being a royal thing so easy.
When you first found out about the faery guard that have been protecting your family for generations, what went through your mind (besides the fact that you were freaked out & hardly believing what you were being told)?
Where's the whisky? There really wasn't much more room for anything else besides shock and awe. And questioning my mental integrity. Dementia has sprung up on Mum's side of the family before…
If you could have one of Emrys power (i.e. strength, invisibility, etc.), which would you choose and why?
Veiling spells would really come in handy for all those paparazzi run-ins. So would memory spells. But maybe I'd just fly away… I dunno. Can't I just keep Emrys around and have all of them? That way it's a win-win.

Innovation and Patent Protection
November 15, 2001
The willingness of governments to override the protection of intellectual property embodied in patent law may lead to less innovation in the future, warns Frank R. Lichtenberg of the Columbia University Graduate School of Business and National Bureau of Economic Research.
This is true particularly in pharmaceutical research, where certain governments have shown a willingness to ignore patent protections when the price or availability of a desired drug concerns them. For example, Canada ordered the anti-anthrax drug Cipro from a generic manufacturer at one point, later ending the practice and going back to the patent owner. In the United States, Sen. Charles Schumer proposed ignoring the patent, although nothing came of the proposal.
Weakening patent protection may have a chilling effect on private research and development investment, and therefore reduce the health and wealth of future generations. That is because spending on R&D depends on the expectation of future returns. And the actions of government can affect those expectations:
- Thus, for example, the threat of pharmaceutical price controls in the Clinton administration's 1992-93 health care reform proposals had a significant negative effect on pharmaceutical R&D investment.
- The threat of Clinton health care reform reduced the market value of pharmaceutical firms by 44 percent during the period from September 1992 to October 1993, estimate economists Sara Ellison and Wallace Mullin.
- On the other hand, passage of the Orphan Drug Act in 1983 led to a twelvefold increase in the number of drugs for rare diseases brought to market.
Pharmaceutical firms rely more on patent protection than firms in other industries. Edwin Mansfield found that 65 percent of pharmaceutical inventions would not have been introduced if patent protection could not have been obtained; for the 11 other industries he studied, this percentage was only 8 percent.

Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski
Publisher: Orenda Books
Release Date: 15th March 2017
Buy: Paperback | Kindle
What They Say:
1997. Scarclaw Fell. The body of teenager Tom Jeffries is found at an outward bound centre. Verdict? Misadventure. But not everyone is convinced. And the truth of what happened in the beautiful but eerie fell is locked in the memories of the tight-knit group of friends who embarked on that fateful trip, and the flimsy testimony of those living nearby. 2017. Enter elusive investigative journalist Scott King, whose podcast examinations of complicated cases have rivalled the success of Serial, with his concealed identity making him a cult internet figure. In a series of six interviews, King attempts to work out how the dynamics of a group of idle teenagers conspired with the sinister legends surrounding the fell to result in Jeffries' mysterious death. And who's to blame … As every interview unveils a new revelation, you'll be forced to work out for yourself how Tom Jeffries died, and who is telling the truth. A chilling, unpredictable and startling thriller, Six Stories is also a classic murder mystery with a modern twist, and a devastating ending. FOR FANS OF SERIAL
Six Stories is one of the most compelling books of 2017. With the interest of true-life murder podcasts, like Serial, I can see Six Stories being huge. I've never been a podcast listener, and I've never listened to Serial or watched Making A Murderer on Netflix, but there is something compelling about finding out the truth about things that leave you feeling iffy. Six Stories tells the tale of what happened at Scarclaw Fell, through six different perspectives and, boy, is it compelling.
With a book like this, it's definitely plot driven rather than character driven because the writing of the novel doesn't really allow you to get to know the characters and, in typical thriller fashion, there is a sense of unease while you're reading. It's a super compelling novel, and it's so, so unique in its writing style. I love an author who pushes the writing boundaries like that and Matt Wesolowski has knocked it out of the park with Six Stories.
Unique, original, compelling, Six Stories is everything you might ask for in a book. It keeps you hooked from beginning to end, and Scarclaw Fell sounded deliciously creepy. Orenda Books seem to publish nothing but top-notch books and Six Stories is yet another brilliant addition to their staple. I thoroughly enjoyed Six Stories and its unique, original storytelling methods will delight you, as it delighted me. I honestly cannot rave about the format enough, it was fantastic.

Vodafone is rejecting requests from customers who want to leave the network in light of its recent price increases. It was alleged by The Independent newspaper earlier this week that Vodafone was resisting what the newspaper considered to be 'lawful claims' from Vodafone customers to cancel their mobile phone contracts under the operator's own terms and conditions.Vodafone's terms state that contract customers who face over a 10% rise in their bills are allowed to discontinue their contract with the operator, regardless of when they first signed up.However, Vodafone said that the allegations were 'misrepresentative'. A spokeswoman said that '99% of Vodafone customers will see a less than 10% change to their bill', so wouldn't be within their rights to demand cancelling their contracts. Some customers are understood to have been concerned about the price hikes and contacted Vodafone's customer services. Although the number of customers who raised the issue is understood to be low, the precedent of letting customers rip up their agreements mid-term is believed to have caused concern at the network. The spokeswoman said those who don't go outrageously outside of their bundle would not suffer from a 10% bill increase and were therefore not permitted to exit their contract without a charge.The operator announced earlier this month that its minimum call charges would increase by 25%, and calls to 0871 and 0870 numbers were rising by between 30% and 40%. It has caused particular concern as an increasing number of services use 0870/0871 numbers instead of standard landline prefixes, but are not included in customers' inclusive bundles.• 3 is also expecting a similar problem of customers requesting to terminate their contract mid-term after its upcoming new charges. 3 will start charging customers for paper bills, not using direct debit, and has ditched per-second billing.Vodafone price changesVodafone has made changes to 'non-geographic call charges and the minimum call charge', which are effective from 1 SeptemberContract customersCalls to 05, 080, 084, 0870 - 15p to 20p per minuteCalls to 0871 - 25p to 35p per minuteMinimum call charge (when exceeding bundle minutes) - 5p to 15p per minute

|Let the memory of Lashawn be with us forever
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Lashawn Thomas-Lolis, 42, born on February 11, 1972 and passed away on September 9, 2014. We will remember her forever.
"I am now learning of your passing and my heart is so heavy with pain. We met as children in NC and were like sisters (Kooda and Nay) for many years into adulthood.. There are so many memories.... thank you for them all. You were always loved."
"Happy birthday friend. You are truly missed."
What can I say right now? Well, I draw comfort in the fact that what started off as a casual interaction between two MEPCOM employees blossomed into a great friendship. You came by my desk to say "hello" and "how are you". I came by your desk to do the same. You showed genuine concern for me when I had my 'moments'. I did the same for you when you had yours. But I must go beyond those comparisons to state just what you meant to me.
You encouraged me when I was having a rough time. You steered my mind back in the right direction and showed me the reasons why I needed to continue to "be myself." Because of you I got my confidence back to where it used to be. You performed brilliantly at my retirement ceremony – at least according to the family who couldn't stop talking about it for weeks! And you were really proud of me on my retirement - that's how we Airmen do. I still have the cards and letter you gave me for my special day. You also showed great concern for my mother and her issues. She appreciated that, as did I – more than you will ever know. It wasn't just the kindness and devotion you showed me. It was the pride you had about your children. You told me that they were your life. And the pride you had in your daughter when she went to DC, well that was special. You were passionate about young people's education. One can always tell a person's heart just by looking at the facial expressions.
I could go on and on about other stuff but then that could take all day. I'll end it by saying that I will always be grateful to God for my having known you, and I will be eternally grateful for the fun moments. There is the statement that people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. You my dear managed all three. You came into my life for a reason, and your lifespan was but for a season. But I will love you for a lifetime.
Rest well my friend, until we meet again.
"I miss you, Sunshine. Your light shown bright and you touched a lot of people, even though you probably didn't realize it. We are better pwople because you cared about us. I love you.
"Words cannot express how heavy my heart is that you are no longer with us. Praying peace and eternal rest for your soul my beautiful sister. Thank you for being an amazing friend...missing you dearly."
"You will forever be in my heart not just as my cousin but as my sister. I'll miss your calls but most of all your beautiful smile. Sleep angel"
"May you find peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I will miss you dearly."
"Rest in peace Ms. Lolis, you are very much missed!"
"I will miss your lil fast-talking self!"
"SIP my 'round the way girl!! <3 You For the Rest of My Life!!!"

Kuma Shinken, or Heihachi-style Improved Kuma Shinken (平八流熊真拳/改?), refers to a fighting style created and developed by Heihachi Mishima himself for his bear pets.
While featuring mainly powerful and "animalistic" claw sweeps and brute strikes, this fighting style is suited for highly intelligent animals such as Kuma and Panda and allows them to use their primal instincts for skillful maneuvers that normal animals don't use, such as kicks, sweeps and combos. This fighting style also features some of Heihachi's favourite personal techniques, such as the Demon Uppercut and the Stonehead. Farts and other bizarre moves are also included.

Getting a New Tattoo With a View: My Experience at Living Art Studio in Duluth [SPONSORED]
I had been long overdue for some new ink and have used a couple of different shops in the past. The first was in Springfield, Illinois where I learned what I don't like in an artist. After a couple more tats locally I took a break from new ink for a while, taking my time to figure out what I wanted to get done. I knew my next piece was something I wanted to really be proud of, something that would catch someone's eye.

Specific OpenFOAM Code
I would like to extract some code from OpenFOAM, but I'm not quite sure which code I need. I have looked through OpenFOAM documentation, but it's not that helpful. I am trying to JUST calculate aerodynamic coefficients. I've seen one post in this forum, but it does not actually reach a conclusion, and it does not talk about pulling out specific code. I want lift and drag coefficients, as well as moment coefficients (if available). I'm sure I'll need more than just the code for calculating coefficients, so any help about just basic classes/functions that I need will be appreciated.
Ultimately, I want to be able to calculate the forces and moments (in all three axes), and as I'm looking through the OpenFOAM code, I'm seeing that it is calculating forces, then calculating coefficients. If someone who has looked deeper into the code takes a look at this, and is willing to help me out - what functions/classes do I need to pull out of OpenFOAM to be able to calculate the forces and moments (in all three axes)?
Thanks a bunch.
im afraid you can not find what you want, because OpenFOAM, is an integrated code, so usually calculation of a coefficient, may get possible by upper and different classes, so you need to have the whole package by it self
Do you know if I can just calculate the forces/moments (see my above "update")?
Yes you can. Have you looked at the motorbike tutorial?
Do you have a link to the motorbike tutorial? Also, is it just using OpneFOAM, or will I be able to extract out code to use elsewhere?
It is within the tutorial folder. WHat do you mean with extracting the code? What would you use it for?
If I wanted to include OpenFOAM code (under GPL) in a program I am writing, but all I want to do is calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments on a body.
It is a bit vague what you want. Are you writing your own CFD-code and do you just want to see how it is implemented in OpenFOAM, or do you want your program to interactively communicate with OpenFOAM?
I am not writing a full-up CFD program (that is beyond the scope of my project), however I do want to have a standalone program that includes some of the functionality of OpenFOAM, so I do not want to communicate to OpenFOAM. Right now, I know that I need to calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments on a body, although later I may need something else.
So what kind of data do you have? Is it OpenFOAM-data? What do you mean by stand-alone? You know that OpenFOAM provides a lot of seperate utilities and solvers? It is not just one 'program'.
I did not know that there were separate utilities and solvers. I found a piece of code that calculates forces/moments (calcForcesMoments is the name of the function), but obviously there is a lot that goes into it, and a lot that it interacts with, which I don't quite understand. I realize that OpenFOAM is complicated and that some pieces rely on multiple other pieces to work, I was just hoping someone knew of a way to pull out the code necessary to calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments (i.e. what code within OpenFOAM I would use, including everything linked/required, to calculate). If not, that's fine.
Greetings to all!
@pbhuter: whether you like it or not, OpenFOAM is a massive toolbox, not a recipe book ;)
Have you checked the cfd-online wiki? http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Main_Page - there you might find the calculations you're looking for.
Otherwise, it's rather complicated to strip code from OpenFOAM, given its intricate system of templates and classes and in some cases, interlocking with the class fields and mesh themselves.
If your application already has its own CFD capabilities, then you probably will have to find the base equations from books or wikis and code things yourself.
Those equations might be present in OpenFOAM, but they will either be oversimplified like this:
So perhaps you should rethink what your question really is! ;)
Good luck!
I appreciate all the help. I have a book on order from Amazon that I hope will help me solve my problems.

If its not equal please tell me the steps how to get Original FIR Copy?
In my case need to get new passport very urgently for my career purpose,so please reply as early as possible.

My Weapons from Birth to Ten
When I was ten years old in the mid 1960s, I acquired my brother's hand me down BB guns. They were a fine addition to my pint-sized collection. My first gun was a toy double barreled cork gun. The corks had two-foot lengths of string stapled to them and secured to the rib below the barrels. Each barrel had its own trigger and made a delightful "blat" when fired. I was only four but remember the first time I listened to a LP record of Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." I was holding the album cover and saw that the little boy Peter was carrying the same cork gun as I had. It was an immediate bond. We were kindred spirits, and from then on I have enjoyed classical music and woodwinds. Read More

Pursuing Early Financial Independence through Dividend Growth Investing and other Passive Income.
Monday, June 29, 2015
Recent Buy...Again
Whenever I make a new purchase for my portfolio I feel it's only fair to get a post written giving all of the juicy details. I want to be as transparent as possible with my journey to reach financial independence through dividend growth investing. Being open about the moves I make allows for better discussion with all of you and helps spread ideas around as well as letting me create my own "investing journal" to chronicle why I purchased a company in the first place and that way I can revisit if something changes and make the decision on whether to continue owning the company or not.
In my last post I listed some companies that were on my radar to purchase soon. Well, Thursday I did just that by adding to my recently initiated position in Union Pacific (UNP) (Full Analysis Here). I purchased 11 more shares of UNP for $97.04 per share. After commission my per share cost basis came to $97.49 per share. Based on the current quarterly dividend of $0.55 this lot will provide $24.20 in annual dividends and carry a YOC of 2.26%.
My previous purchase of UNP was at the end of May and since then the share price has drifted lower. My original cost basis on this position was at $101.81 per and this addition was purchased for 4.24% lower. I typically target a 5% decline before I average down on my cost basis but I feel that Union Pacific is a great long term holding and I wanted to build up my position more while I have the opportunity. The investment thesis for UNP hasn't changed over the last month. It's just the share price that has drifted lower and if I liked the company at $101.20 per share I should like them even more at $97.04.
A quick valuation of Union Pacific using the Gordon Growth Model with a $2.20 annual dividend, 10% discount rate, and $97.49 current price means that UNP would need to grow the dividend at 7.57% per year to earn a 10% annualized return. Since earnings are forecast to grow at 13.5% per year for the next 5 years, UNP shares appear undervalued here. The TTM P/E ratio is at 16.49 with a forward P/E ratio, based of FY 2016 estimates, of 14.13. I performed a full analysis of Union Pacific last month which can be found here.
Also, on Friday of last week I used $10 of accumulated dividends in my Loyal3 portfolio to purchase 0.0871 shares of Disney for $114.81 per share. Based on the current semi-annual dividend of $0.66 this lot will provide $0.11 in forward annual dividends and carry a YOC of 1.15%. It's not much but every bit helps, right?
My FI Portfolio's forward 12-month dividends increased to $5,967.83. Including the $56.92 from my Loyal3 portfolio brings my total taxable accounts forward dividends to $6,024.75. That's over $500 per month on average that I can expect to receive for doing nothing other than having the foresight to invest in excellent companies that pay and grow their dividends.
Other companies that I'm looking at potentially adding to are Union Pacific again as well as T. Rowe Price, Phillip Morris, and potentially Chevron. I'd also like to add another financial company or two to my portfolio with insurance companies and a Canadian bank being in the mix as well.
What companies have you been buying? What companies are on your watch list for purchase? What do you think about the long term investment prospects of Union Pacific?

How is that everyone is going ham on UNP, the numbers are all great but the yield is not really that fancy?ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't speak for everyone but for myself it's because the business is absolutely solid. I don't really foresee any disruptions to rail being the dominant mode of shipping large quantities of goods. The only viable one as far as efficiency is by ship but it's too difficult to get from say LA to NYC via water compared to rail. UNP's yield is low but they make up for it with huge scale and no real competitors. There's not anywhere near the right of way available if someone did want to try and steal their turf and the capital requirements of starting a new rail network are prohibitive as well. It's a long term play on a company and industry that should continue to do well.
Plus for my own portfolio I'm at the stage now where adding a lower yielding company won't really swing my portfolio's yield. So I have the freedom to add some that might yield lower but make up for it with a solid long term growth potential.
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome purchase PIP. Wow, UNP is down today again. :) Keep it up bud. Congrats on Forward Dividends of 6k!!! woohoo. Happy for you my friend. Cheers PIP.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, wish I'd have waited another day or two. Oh well, there's still some ammo ready if need be. It feels pretty good to cross over the $6k mark. $500 a month average for doing nothing but collecting checks is awesome.
Thanks for stopping by!
Gratz on passing the 6k mark! Gogogogogogogo!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's awesome to think that less than 4 years ago I had only one income source but now I'm collecting $500 per month by doing nothing. DGI at work!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great purchase, JC. Congrats on adding more to your FYDividendsReplyDelete
It's always fun adding more shares of excellent companies.
Thanks for stopping by!
UNP is on my watch list to average down. I bought it when it was just over 100. Now, we have a nice dip for me to add to this company.ReplyDelete
For me, I agree with one of the commenters above on yield, but it has good growth metrics from the last 10 years.
Div Son,Delete
Yeah I'm contemplating adding more if the share price dips just a bit lower. If I had more capital available right now I'd add sooner but I have to be a bit pickier right now while I build up some reserves.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice purchase buddy. We picked up Union Pacific shares about 4% above these levels. Looking to average down in the near term. Great job on the $6k in forward dividends!ReplyDelete
I'd love to see your $91 price target so I could add more as well. $6k is a great start on my way to FI. There's still a long ways to go but it's progress!
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice move averaging down here. UNP remains near the top of my list right now, which means I'm very likely to buy more here soon.
Glad to be a fellow long-term shareholder!
I'm trying to focus a lot more on building out positions rather than adding new ones. I get in the habit of making one or two purchases of a company but then stopping there. Part of that was because a couple purchases would push the portfolio weight higher than I'd like but I was missing the forest for the trees. My portfolio was still adequately diversified and I have no plans of stopping investing anytime soon so it would work itself out in the long run.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice addition! I initiated a position today after bouncing back and forth between oil companies.
I might have one more oil purchase in store but no plans to add too much more. It's a bit too risky for me since my income is also tied to the industry. Always liked the RR's in Monopoly!
Thanks for stopping by!
Been reading about XOM and UNP buys a lot among the dividend bloggers. Guess this whole Greece thing has world markets on edge giving us better buying opportunities. It will be interesting to see how things shape up this summer. Seems like the whole financial world hangs in the balance. Thanks for sharing your recent UNP buy and for being able to average down on this solid long term dividend payer. No rails for me in my portfolio but that doesn't mean they don't look interesting.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hear you on the financial world kind of teetering. I could see things going both ways which means there's lot of uncertainties. I like the RR's because they have a huge moat and I don't really foresee any major external threats to the business model. It's just too efficient of a mode of shipping large amounts of heavy goods.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice buy JC. As DivHut mentioned, UNP and XOM were popular buys today. We already bought shares in XOM, so I guess that means we should consider grabbing some shares in UNP. Great company! We've been watch UNP for a short while and have to say it is looking attractive at current levels.ReplyDelete
Keep feeding the passive income stream! AFFJReplies
Those two companies were my last two purchases so clearly I'm on board. It feels pretty awesome to get past the $6k mark for annual dividends. $500 per month is a huge milestone and it's only going to help me to really get the snowball rolling with DGI.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice buy JC. I'd love to add UNP at some point to compliment my CSX and NSC holdings. I love the railroads! $500/month is an awesome milestone, keep up the good work.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's funny because I've been thinking of adding CSX to complement my new UNP and old NSC positions. The railroads are great with huge moats. You can't really go and build a new rail network that could legitimately compete with the big players. Oligopolies are great! $500 per month is pretty cool. It's still a long ways from where I need to be but I've built that up in less than 4 years so I'm pretty happy about that.
Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to and what you have in store now that you'll be back to blogging.
Thanks for stopping by!
Glad to read this posteriormente. 500$ per month is really awesome!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's been a long time coming and it feels good to cross this milestone. Now on the mark to $7k in annual dividends!
Thanks for stopping by!
Excellent purchase, seems that a lot of people are buying UNP lately. $500 per month dividend is a great milestone to accomplish.ReplyDeleteReplies
I like the railroads because the whole industry is set up as an oligopoly. There won't be any new competitors because there just isn't the right of way available and the capital outlay just to build out the network would be extremely prohibitive.
Thanks for stopping by!

Last year while I was In the USA I went a bit mad in Walmart trying out and buying new foundations. I could literally spend forever in there looking at all the brands as its so much cheaper then here in the UK.
I ended up buying the Maybelline 24 Hour Super Stay foundation and the 310 Fit Me foundation. I went for a foundation from this range as we didn't have it here in the UK last year and even a year later we still don't have it. Not sure why, maybe we will get it eventually.
All the products from this line have numbers instead of names, so you are able to get exactly the same powders and concelers to match which is an awesome idea.
I went for 310 which is a little on the orange side but it was ok at the time as I had a tan. So its supposed to fit your skins colour exactly, however this isnt entirly true.
- It has a dewy finish
- Medium to full coverage
- Thick in consitance
- Fragrance free
This foundation is known for breaking peoples skin out and clearly thats what it did to me, my skin isnt particulary oily, its more dry that anything. I would recommend this to people who have dry skin, but stay away if your oily because it will just slide off.
Dewy finishes arent really my thing, it ends up looking greasy and feeling sticky and I do not like to be shiny. Out of all the foundations I own this is the worst for all of that. So if your like me then steer well clear.
I went back to the USA in December and picked up the Fit Me foudation in 235 as 310 was definatly waaaay to orange for me back home. I also picked up the 235 pressed powder to go with it.
Now even though I was in New York and it was cold the foundation still done the same thing. Through out my shopping trip that day it had come off in patches, but the powder was the worst.
I applied my foundation in natural light and this is why I noticed the powder fiasco. The foundation colour was looking good, I then went in with the powder and it changed the whole colour. It made it SO orange and patchy. Therefore I had to make sure i had applied the powder evenly to avoid colour patches. I was really disapointed with the powder it was noway near the colour of the foundation at all, and it didnt really do much to mattify the foundation.
Overall the Maybelline Fit Me range was a complete fail.

When I type "pop filter" into the search box, I like that a "suggested search" box appears. I am notorious for misspelling every day words. So, I find this helpful.
I'll choose the correct "suggested search" option and click the "GO" button.
When I hit the "GO" button in the search bar, I end up in a "Product Listings" page that has a bunch of different Pop Filters to choose from.
Now that I am here, I can start browsing the list of products to make sure I get the correct Pop Filter for my studio:
Since there are 17 different models to choose from, I should re-sort how these listings are shown to me. The sorting options I have to choose from are:
This helps me browse the product listings on "my" terms to help me choose the right one.
Now, I need to browse "my" listings and choose an appropriate listing to inspect further.
Let's take a closer look at the individual product listing to see what they include:
In this case, the product listings have the important information I am looking for:
These bits of information give me a lot to go on. I am especially intrigued by products that have a good rating.
Therefore, I am going to choose the CAD EPF-15A 6-Inch Flexible Pop Filter to inspect further.
Once I choose a product to view, I will end up on a "Product Details" page:
In order to make my final decision, I need to be convinced that this is indeed the right Pop Filter for me.
I know that if I choose the wrong product I will need to ship it back at my own expense. I've had to do this before and it is not fun.
The fact that this product is a "Top Seller" and has the best possible "Average Rating" makes me feel like I have chosen wisely.
But, now that I am here I want to take a more in depth look. The chunks of information that are important to me are:
If I want to get back to the previous page I can simply click on "Pop Filters" in the breadcrumb menu as well.
I think this one will do. Therefore, I'll click the "Add to Cart" button and continue Buying This Product next week.

wikiHow to Cook a Quick Spam Pizza
Have you ever had no time at all to cook, and no time to order a pizza either? This will take less than five minutes and even if it does not taste high class, it at least tastes good!
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 slices of cheese
- Spam
- Olive oil
1Gather your ingredients. Prepare the bread slices, cheese, spam and olive oil so you won't have to search for them later.
2Slice up your cheese into thin slices. Using a sharp knife slice the cheese into thin pieces. This will help the cheese to melt easier.
3Dice the spam and bread into cubes. Place the cubed spam onto the bread.
4Add a splash of olive oil into a pan. This will prevent the pizza from sticking and burning. If you don't have olive oil on hand use coconut oil instead.
5Toast for a minute. If you feel like the pizza needs more time put it in for longer but not too long you don't want it to burn!
6Let the pizza cool before serving. Don't burn your tongue!
7Enjoy! This is a great snack or lunch for school!

QQ is a form of Instant Messaging, which means that you can enjoy private one-on-one chats with other QQ members, anywhere in the world.
Tencent QQ, generally referred to as QQ, is the most popular free instant messaging computer program in Mainland China, and the world's third most popular IM service.
Tencent was founded in Shenzhen, China in 11 November, 1998. Tencent's instant messaging service platform, "QQ" was formally launched in February 1999. After years of strong business growth, on July 16, 2004, Tencent Holdings Limited (SEHK 700) went public.
The original name of QQ was OICQ. The name was based on an already existing IMS (Internet Message Service), "ICQ". Other features were successively added such as chatrooms, games, personal avatars (similar to "Meebo" in MSN), internet storage, and internet dating services.
QQ currently allows free registration for membership.
In 2002, Tencent had stopped its free membership registration, requiring all new members to pay a fee. However, free registration was reopened in 2003 due to pressure from other instant messaging services such as Windows Live Messenger and Sina UC.
Tencent currently offers a premium membership scheme, which offers features such as mobile QQ, ringtone downloads and SMS sending/receiving. In addition, Tencent offers Diamond noble memberships. Currently, there are seven diamond QQ services available:
QQ has faced many criticisms and controversies.
Many users complain QQ provides fewer and fewer free services and an annoying number of ads. Because of QQ's extensive use of advertisements and processes related to ads, it has been branded as malicious adware by many anti-virus and anti-spyware vendors.
Coral QQ, a modification of Tencent QQ, is a popular add on.
While Tencent charges for some services and displays advertisement, Coral QQ, provides free access to some of the services and blocks Tencent's advertisements.
The QQ coin is a virtual currency used by QQ users to "purchase" QQ related items for their avatar and blog.
QQ Coins are obtained either by purchase, one coin for one RMB, or for using the mobile phone service. Due to the popularity of QQ in Chinese young population, QQ coins are now accepted by gradually more and more online stores and gaming sites in exchange for "real" merchandise such as small gifts.

text: Anyway we have some players to add back to the squad after injury and knocks which is great. I think Arsene has been juggling his squad rather nicely in this regard. Holding players back until the right moment and I think he has done that this time with the likes of Theo Walcott, Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal. He had done the same with Aaron Ramsey and Oliver Giroud before them, keeping them away for a little longer than perhaps they would have wanted but making sure they could (hopefully) make a lasting impact rather than break down trying to rush them back in.

UK: Carphone Warehouse
Research In Motion announced this week at the 3GSM World Congress plans to offer BlackBerry Connect software on five new Microsoft Windows Mobile-based devices from HTC to carriers around the world, including the HTC S710 launched at the 3GSM World Congress 2007 in Barcelona, Spain.
BlackBerry Connect on HTC handsets supports push-based wireless email access, wireless email reconciliation and attachment viewing in conjunction with both BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service.
Additional features supported through BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Connect v4.0 include:
Enhanced attachment handling capabilities, enabling users to view images, footnotes and tracked changes;
Remote look-up of corporate email address directory; Triple DES or AES wireless encryption; Internet and corporate intranet access via the BlackBerry Mobile Data System; Wireless device provisioning to allow devices to be activated wirelessly;
Remote control of email settings to allow users to wirelessly configure out-of-office replies, email filters, and auto-signatures directly from their device; and
Wireless IT policy enforcement and commands.
The HTC S710 is a versatile, compact handset that looks like a phone, but includes a concealed semi auto-sliding keyboard to allow for email and data input. Users are able to view their email, Word and Excel documents on the 2.4 inch screen with landscape view option. The HTC 710 operates on GPRS/EDGE networks and supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0.
Florian Seiche, Vice President HTC Europe, commented: "BlackBerry Connect is a great example of our continual drive to add more value for our customers. We have experienced strong demand for BlackBerry Connect from some of our key operator clients and therefore consider it important that our devices support the popular BlackBerry service."
"HTC is the world's leading provider of Windows Mobile-based devices and a strategic partner for RIM. We're pleased to be extending our relationship to bring BlackBerry Connect to a range of new HTC devices this year," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. "Together, HTC devices and BlackBerry Connect provide an innovative and powerful solution that meets the distinct needs of both mobile users and IT departments."
For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.
For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service allows users to access multiple supported email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.

A British pollster says it is easier to be 'economical with the truth' when using BlackBerry.
The study was conducted on behalf of a financial-services company.
However, workplaces were not the only arenas in which dishonesty was happening. More than 40 percent said they had lied to their family or partner too. People admitted to lying about buying new clothes or the cost of them, how good someone looked in something, how much they had eaten and drunk, and how much they weighed.
Before we all get on the whole society is going to hell in a handbasket bandwagon it should be noted that most of the respondents said they told lies with the best intentions and to spare others' feelings.
So, next time someone BlackBerrys you and tells you that tie looks great, maybe take it with a grain of salt.

Captured by Shiny Shiny , here's a peak at the new BlackBerry 8800 that was announced by RIM at the 3GSM World Conference.
CrackBerry Addicts Rejoice! After months of rumors, speculation and online debate, RIM has officially announced the launch of their new BlackBerry 8800 Smartphone. CrackBerry.com will dive into the features of the new 8800 Smartphone in the days and weeks ahead, but for now you can get your fill at RIM's official site - www.blackberry8800.com . RIM's official press release for the new device can be found here.
I was having dinner with a friend who works in the Transportation Department aof the local government and he was marveling about the new Blackberry Maps feature and how it will aid him in his job. "If only it had GPS" he lamented. Well, Martha it is now possible to get GPS on the CrackBerry. As you would expect it isn't as easy as simply downloading a software program but here is how you can do it.
BlackBerryMaps is only available for devices running software 4.1 and newer so, for the purpose of this article, we will use the new Pearl and how to synch the GPS with Blackberry Maps.
If you want to use the Location Based Services (LBS) features of BlackBerry Maps, you will need either a BlackBerry with an internal GPS (which can be very slow) do it is recommended that you have get Bluetooth GPS Receiver (GPS Puck).
1. Turn on your GPS receiver. Initially, the puck will take some time trying to locate and acquire a satellite signal. This can take as long as 10 minutes. Subsequent acquisition times will be significantly lower (usually 30 to 60 seconds).
Ensure that the GPS puck acquires a signal before you turn on the BlackBerry Bluetooth or you fire up BlackBerry Maps But to ensure your puck has acquired the signal first will reduce the performance of the puck it will have a harder time searching for a signal.
2. Select "Set Up Bluetooth" option from the main application menu on the BlackBerry Pearl.
3: In the dialog box it should read "Please Ensure your Bluetooth Device is in Pairing Mode." Press OK. The Blackberry will search for Bluetooth devices within range. This usually takes about 30 seconds.
4. The Pearl will list all the devices in range (which may be many if there are a number of devices nearby with Bluetooth capabilities). The GPS puck will have "GPS" in the device name. Select it and the Pearl will ask you for a "Pass Key." Unusually this is either 0000 or 1234. Once that is entered the Bluetooth is enabled and your device is listed.
5: Although the Bluetooth in now enabled on your BlackBerry, it is not necessarily "On." Applications like BlackBerry Maps will actually indicated that the BlackBerry is paired to a device even when your Bluetooth is not on. Ensure the Bluetooth connection is "On" by selecting the Bluetooth icon in the main application menu.
6: Now enter BlackBerry Maps and select "Options" from the menu. Highlight "GPS Device Option," click the TrackBall or select "Change Option" from the menu. The device you just paired should appear as one of the devices listed. Select it and click the TrackBall. The GPS receiver icon should now be highlighted.
Save your changes when you exit the menu.
7: From BlackBerry Maps menu select "Start GPS." If the puck has acquired its position, you should see a Chevron indicating current bearing and speed. If you zoom in it should indicted the street. Some people want North to always be "up" on the screen. If so, select "North Up" from the main menu. If you prefer the map to show up as the direction of travel "Track Up."
8: On the Pearl, hitting the Q key will give you information such as the time, battery strength, and how many satellites you are accessing (you need to access at least three for the GPS to work). On devices with a full keyboard, hit the "U" key. To display the map full screen, hit the space bar and the GPS mode switches to "Map Mode". (The GPS is still active but the info is not being displayed).

Police escort for teacher accused of fling with pupil
A TEACHER accused of having inappropriate physical contact with a pupil was given a police escort as she was taunted by a crowd of youths yesterday.
Bernadette Smith is alleged to have had a fling with a 17-year-old boy at Bannockburn High School, near Stirling.
Smith, 35, who is married, appeared in court accused of kissing the boy on the mouth and neck and lying beside him on a bed while partially clothed.
She quit her job as a history and English teacher on Friday when the allegations emerged.
Smith was held by police for the weekend over the claims, part of which alleged that she and the sixth-year boy engaged in activity in a public park.
Yesterday the teacher was driven to a side door entrance at Stirling Sheriff Court.
Groups of youths gathered outside the court gates shouting "Miss" as she was taken inside.
After being held in court cells for nearly two hours she appeared before Sheriff Mark Thorley. Dressed in a long grey coat and wearing stiletto-heeled shoes, she looked tired and distressed and spoke only to confirm her name.
Smith, of Denny, Stirlingshire, is pleading not guilty to a single charge.
The wording of the charge is that, between September 13 and 20 this year at an address in the village of Cowie and at Callandar Park, Falkirk, that while being a person who has obtained the age of 18 and was in a position of trust, in that she was the boy's teacher, she engaged in sexual activity with or directed towards the pupil in that she kissed him on the mouth and neck and lay beside him on a bed while partially clothed.
I appear on behalf of Bernadette Smith. The special capacity is challenged and thereafter she pleads not guilty and seeks bail.
Her solicitor, Harry Coughlan, said that she would be challenging the part of the charge which says that she was the boy's teacher and in a position of trust.
He said: "I appear on behalf of Bernadette Smith. The special capacity is challenged and thereafter she pleads not guilty and seeks bail."
Depute fiscal Alison Montgomery did not oppose bail.
But she said the Crown sought an additional condition that Smith does not approach or contact, or attempt to approach or contact, the boy alleged to be involved.
She added: "We will also seek an order that she attends an ID parade."
Sheriff Thorley told Smith: "You have pled not guilty and you will be given two dates when you need to return. Bail has been granted but with special conditions."
Smith is to appear in court in December with a trial date set for January. In a departure from normal procedure, where accused granted bail are left to make their own way home from court, Smith was taken away in a police van.
As crowds gathered, the van reversed down a ramp towards the custody door and Smith was ushered into the back by two security guards, shielded from view, and driven away.

Picture: Tito Jackson Michael Forever The Tribute Concert Press Conference held at The Beverly Hills Hotel Los Angeles, California - 25.07.11
"I was there (in court) last week and it's very hard. But we have a large family and there are only so many seats in the courtroom. Half of the family wasn't attending anyhow because there wasn't appropriate seating. I want the fans to understand that." Tito Jackson explains why some of his famous family are not attending the trial of DR. Conrad Murray. The medic stands accused of administering the fatal dose of anaesthetic Propofol that killed Michael Jackson in 2009. He denies a charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Windows 7 64Bit
Determine if a Product Key is already in use on another machine?
I have multiple users, all remote and I have another machine I need to load with Windows 7, I know one of the retail versions of windows 7 I have has yet to be used, just not sure which one...
Other than walking all users through the process of checking product codes to find which one is not in use I was hoping there is a way online where I can enter the product keys and it will tell me which have been activated and which have not been?
Anyway to do that?
I know I can install one and try to activate it, but I also know if I format and reload a machine it will let me activate that version of windows as many times as I want on that machine to so it's not going to tell me if it's in use or not right away, instead it will just hose one or both machines if it is in use already - not a great solution.

You can install auditing software in a server to query such data from machines on a network - but other than that, there's no alternative to checking each machine using either MGADiag (which has the added benefit of checking the license status) or a KeyFinder such as Magical JellyBean or Belarc Advisor.
One other possibility is to phone the MS Activation Center and request their assistance - but I doubt that you'd get an opinion on more than one or two licenses during each phone call.

Copper Tree Photography offers natural, candid and artistic wedding photography.Every wedding is unique and it should be captured that way.Let me tell your story.
I can HIGHLY recommend Copper Tree photography for your wedding, the service was outstanding. My first meeting with Copper tree Photography was an easy chat over a coffee to discuss date, time, location and what was important for our wedding. The second meeting was on location to assess lighting, discuss must have shots and to get to know each others expectations. The wedding day was hassle free, fun and flowing. I am delighted with the quality and quantity of the shots captured as well as the creativity and thought that went into the shoot.
Christina from Copper Tree Photography was amazing. Our photos were all very natural taking full advantage of the beautiful backdrops of the Hunter Valley. We weren't keen on having hours of staged photos taken which Christina respected, the more "unplanned" photos of how our day progressed were lovely.

I didn't realize they closed at 9 pm on Sunday, our reservation was for 7:30 pm. It was very quiet inside, we were seated and our drink order was taken. We ordered 4 menu items to start, with the intent to order 1 or 2 more. The lettuce salad was delicious. It is all small plates and it comes out one at a time. My boyfriend finished his drink and got a second, I wasn't finished with mine yet. The next two menu items came out, and we enjoyed them. They started closing stuff down, I never got another chance to order a second drink and we didn't get much attention after that last plate. We didn't feel comfortable ordering more food even though we were still hungry. We ordered dessert and left. Total we were only there 1.5 hours, we were there celebrating my birthday. We would of spent $200 or more and spent more time there, but we felt unwanted. I've had better service from lower scale restaurants. I had high hopes since it is only 2 blocks away from my house.
I would not recommend this restaurant. The service and food was average at best. We got our appetizers before we got our cocktails. Thai soup was bland and boring. The tomato tart with fried capers was on soggy tasteless bread. The menu looks great at first blush but the food is average. They are trying too hard and not meeting the mark. Food was not that warm either. On the upside, scallop special was good.
We have had dinner here a couple of times and loved it, so when friends wanted to go there with us but were only available during the day on a Sunday we decided to have brunch. It is as wonderful as the dinners are. The bread pudding French toast was particularly outstanding. We enjoyed it so much that we're taking another couple there for brunch next Sunday!
Everything we had was amazing, the flavors all blended perfectly. The prices are hard to believe. You would think you would pay twice as much for that kind of cuisine and taste.
It's a tiny restaurant, so I hesitate to say such good things. I am afraid everyone is going to figure it out and I won't be able to get a table anymore. But when a place does this good of a job, it shouldn't be kept a secret.
three of us tried the congee noted by 5280, not one of us liked it. It has an off putting taste and was the only dish not completely eaten. the food was ok, but not really tasty. If I pay that much for food, I at least want it to taste good. Not a comfort food place.
The service was good and the waitperson knowledgeable. The plate was attractively decorated, but of course not filling as it is a small plate place. The salad was good also. kinda pricey for what you get.
This place had really amazing food and beverages for brunch. I loved the clean, simple decor and the wait staff was very friendly. I can't believe there wasn't a line out the door! The portions were just right for brunch and I imagine every item on the menu is fantastic.
Delicious food and solid, approachable wine list. Friendly, casual vibe. The presentation shows how much effort goes into the food. It's all smallish share plates, and the menu can seem like a too-fast trip around the world. But the smoked trout and grilled romaine dishes were excellent. The duck confit ravioli sounded fantastic, but was really salty - must have been a mistake. The gateaux dessert with preserved cherries was outstanding.
Our group of four stuck with the shareable plates and enjoyed an amazing dinner! Each plate was beautifully presented, and the creativity of flavors was remarkable. Our favorites were quinoa "congee" with carrot curry sauce, cauliflower, and currants; and duck confit agnolotti with pickled plums, baby beets, and fried almonds. Some dishes were delicate and others heartier, so the meal felt balanced. Plates were changed often to avoid mixing flavors, and the service was both friendly and efficient. The space has clean and contemporary design and feels intimate. Totally satisfying, nothing like it in Denver!
I went with two vegetarian friends, one of which is also gluten free even though she does not have a gluten allergy and does not eat seafood. There were a lot of options for them. The style is shared plates. I eat meat but partook in all of the vegetarian options and ordered not meat dishes. I cannot speak to any meat dishes. I liked all of the seafood and vegetarian dishes we tried. I think we had 6 or 7. One friend is really into wine and she loved their wine list. She did pick an $80 bottle to start with. It was very good. It was a great meal with good service. It was just more than I wanted to spend for a girl's dinner. Now we did have wine, two bottles (the second one less expensive and two deserts), but split 3 ways, my portion was $92 including the tip.
This is the second time we have eaten here and cannot wait to return. The food is so good; things you don't find on any other menu in town. Each bite is better than the last. This time we ordered the plat du jour, which happened to be one of our favorites: crispy duck confit served with panzanella salad. Cannot say enough good things about how good it was. Keep up the good work, Jeff Osaka!
We had a last minute dinner there with our kids. We luckily hit the happy hour menu in time for the kids. Everything was delicious! The romaine continues to be one of my favorites. The desserts were amazing given the peaches being in season. It's just a great little neighborhood gem of a restaurant!

The midfielder and defender Gary Doherty were both sent off in controversial circumstances by Mr Elleray in Monday's draw at Goodison Park.
Boss Glenn Hoddle has already confirmed that the club will appeal on both decisions.
However, if they stand, a straight red card means a three-match ban and the pair will be suspended for Southampton, Chelsea and Sunderland next month.
Gus has been looking forward to the clash with his former club since the fixtures were announced in June and admits he cannot even think about not being there.
He said: "To miss the Chelsea match would be really disappointing. I have to be positive and wait for the referee and hope he changes to a yellow card because I think it was enough for me to miss 30 minutes tonight.
"This is the first time I've had a red card in England so that shows I am not a dirty player.
"Everyone can make a mistake. I made many, many mistakes during the game.
"I know it probably looked like it was a spectacular tackle, but it wasn't.
"I accept the mistake by the referee. I have nothing against him. I am just asking him please, look at the video.
"I think the fact I missed the last 30 minutes was enough. I cannot miss three games for something like that.
"As for missing Chelsea, that would be unbelievable. Don't even talk about it. I don't want to even think about it."
Gus was sent off for what was at worst a clumsy challenge on Steve Watson.
"I made the wrong decision," he said as he recalled events. "At first I wanted to go in but then I turned and put my foot there.
"I was quite embarrassed as well and shocked. I thought 'that is not possible'. I wanted to say 'look at the card, it isn't yellow'.
"When I saw the referee coming I was saying sorry and expected a yellow card.
"When I saw the red I was in shock. Normally, if you know me, you know I will react. But I didn't because I was so shocked.
"I was in the dressing room thinking 'please, keep the result' otherwise I would have felt even worse.
"I said sorry to everyone but they said don't worry, it was never a red card.
"But I have to say the attitude of the team, especially after getting two men sent off, was absolutely magnificent."
