The Episcopal Church at Yale is one of the oldest university Chaplaincies in the country (established on October 23, 1869). ECY is a ministry of the Episcopal Church to students, staff and faculty at Yale University. We seek to encourage and nurture members of the Yale community in the faith of Jesus Christ and to communicate in the academy of higher learning that the religious quest is relevant and essential to the educated mind. We do this by exploring both ancient and contemporary forms of prayer and common worship, facilitating stimulating discussions of the scriptures, and fostering a common life of fellowship and service.
A Message From Our Chaplain, The Rev. Bruce Shipman: Spring Break Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
Spring break saw me and three ECY students–Michael Nestler, Joshua Bruner, and Isabelle Erb–in Israel and the Occupied Territories along with a number of Yale and Harvard Divinity students taking part in a Tree of Life Journey. The visit might almost be called transformative as we visited places of devotional and biblical moment alongside the living stones of modern day Israel/Palestine. The term living stones came up in the conversation we had with our own Bishop Laura Ahrens at St. George's Cathedral in Jerusalem where she had just completed a two week course on the Palestine of Jesus. Over lunch we talked about living stones, the term favored by Palestinian Christians to describe their continuing but diminished presence in the Holy Land. Their lives in East Jerusalem and the Occupied Territories are extremely difficult, and for them the future looks exceedingly bleak. Solidarity can be shown through gifts to the American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, www.afedj.org.
We led Morning Prayer at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. George on the morning of March 13, our first full day in Jerusalem. It was a wonderful way to start the visit, and from our base in Bethlehem we toured the land from the Golan Heights to Jericho and the Dead Sea. At the Jordan River a short distance from its entrance into the Dead Sea members were invited to renew our Baptismal vows, which all of the ECY group did after removing shoes and wading in the muddy water. A half day was devoted to the West Bank city of Jenin, where we attended the "Freedom Theatre" and saw actors depicting the emotions aroused by memories of recent conflict and the ongoing Occupation.
At the end of the academic year, we said goodbye to several individuals who have been a big part of ECY. We want to thank Paul Thomas for his superb leadership as organist and choir director over the past three years. He and his wife Meredith will be much missed. We want to thank Cody Maynus for his excellent work as sacristan. Cody returns to his native Minnesota to begin the discernment process for holy orders. We want to thank Joshua Bruner for serving ECY this year as a semi- nary volunteer. His faithful and competent service have been a very big blessing to the entire chaplaincy, and we shall miss him.
With thanks for the moral and material support which so many of you have offered to me and the ECY chaplaincy I am,

This collection of images is my ode to Elizabeth Messina. Elizabeth is a genius photographer based in Santa Barbara, CA. In 2009, I attended her photography workshop in Poiters, France where I met so many fantastic photographers and life-long friends. I have a dear love and appreciation for Boudoir photography and Elizabeth's boudoir work is simply phenomenal. She inspires me to continuously strive to create beautiful art.
c'est le debut ... Paris
06 March 2014
The Lourve museum was my favorite, after seeing my other favorite the Eiffel Tower and before seeing my super favorite, the beautiful Versailles. Paris to me is a city that you can't help but fall in love with upon first seeing. It's as if there is a spell on all those arriving in the city to fall in love immediately. Its mystique, the beautiful architecture, romance... it's all so beautiful and alive.
As daylight streamed through the windows of our Paris apartment, we were all excited to start exploring the city & see more of the major attractions. Our first stop of the morning was the beautiful and enormous Lourve. We didn't get a chance to see even half of this fantastic museum. It would literally take days to view it in it's entirety so our plan was to see as much as possible & especially the famous Mona Lisa.
As we strolled the halls, I immediately fell in love with the sculpture exhibit. The attention to detail, the intricately beautiful replications of the human shape, body, form and expression. I'll never forget the way I felt - so inspired and in complete awe of the talent of the sculptor artists that had created these beautiful treasures. I walked away with a fantastically deep appreciation for their talent, dedication, and artistry. I also walked away knowing I will one day be back.

AHF Praises Iowa Supreme Court for Overturning Wrongful HIV Conviction
As the Iowa state legislature actively amends and updates laws to reduce discriminatory criminal convictions of people living with HIV, wrongly convicted Iowan Nick Rhoades receives justice with Supreme Court's decision to set aside his conviction – Rhoades faced 25 years in prison following a one-time safe sexual encounter that did not result in transmission of the virus
DES MOINES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The largest provider of HIV/AIDS care in the U.S., AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), today praised the Iowa Supreme Court for justly setting aside a discriminatory conviction of a man living with HIV. The decision that came down today marks a growing recognition from Iowa courts that HIV-positive individuals who have a reduced viral load as a result of effective treatment pose little risk of transmitting HIV. The ruling follows the first change in state health code regarding HIV transmission in nearly a decade, which came when Iowa Governor Terry E. Branstad signed a landmark bill on May 30 that redefines state law to ensure only those who intend to spread HIV or behave with "reckless disregard" are penalized through the criminal justice system.
"It is heartening to see the Iowa Supreme Court cutting through the inflammatory hyperbole that caused Mr. Rhoades to face such discriminatory persecution where he should have received due process"
"It is heartening to see the Iowa Supreme Court cutting through the inflammatory hyperbole that caused Mr. Rhoades to face such discriminatory persecution where he should have received due process," said Michael Weinstein, President of AHF. "The court's decision infuses common sense and the upholding of human rights into a case where a man was targeted simply because of his HIV status with disregard for the responsibility he takes in managing his condition."
Rhoades was initially sentenced to 25 years in prison, with required registration as a sex offender, after having a one-time sexual encounter with another man in June 2008 during which they used a condom. Several days after the encounter, a friend told the man who had had sex with Rhoades that Rhoades might be HIV-positive. The police arrested Rhoades in September 2008, and on the advice of his counsel, he pled guilty. Despite the fact that a condom was used and the other man did not contract HIV, Rhoades was convicted under Iowa's now-amended HIV criminalization law. He received the maximum sentence: 25 years in prison and classification as the most serious type of sex offender. Rhoades spent more than five years appealing the wrongful conviction before finally receiving justice with today's decision.
"We applaud the Court for applying the law in light of current medical understanding of how HIV is and is not transmitted," said Christopher Clark, Counsel for Lambda Legal, the firm representing Rhoades. "An individual who takes precautions to prevent transmission should not be considered a criminal for choosing to be sexually active, and we are very pleased that the Court agrees."

Indus Capital Partners has launched its first UCITS III-compliant hedge fund.
The new Indus PacifiChoice Asia Fund debuted with US$10 million. It is managed by Sheldon Kasowitz and Ethan Devine of New York-based Indus, which launched the fund on Morgan Stanley's FundLogic platform.
The Indus UCITS fund will have between 60 and 90 long and short positions in Asia-Pacific markets, with about one-third of the portfolio concentrated in its top 10 positions.
"Asian markets are inherently inefficient and are therefore an excellent backdrop for long/short strategies," Indus said. "Since we founded Indus in 2000, we have been developing an investment process which we believe can yield positive returns in difficult markets, and strongly positive returns in stock-friendly markets, yielding an attractive return profile over a given cycle."
Morgan Stanley plans to market the fund primarily within the European Union. Its standard management fee will be 2% for institutional investors and 2.5% for retail investors, with both paying 20% for performance. There will also be a minimum investment requirement of US$1 million, £1 million or €1 million. But the fund is offering an "early bird" period with a reduced management fee of 1.5% and no minimum investment.
Morgan Stanley did not say how long the early-bird period would last.
The Indus fund is the second new fund on the Morgan Stanley platform this year, following the launch earlier this month of an Algebris Investments-run financials fund. There are now five UCITS funds on the FundLogic platform, with a sixth to come next month.

"I didn't like it!"
I kept on listening since it was a time filler, but found it often crude. I was hoping for a clincer for the story to give it more meaning but was disapointed to the very end.
"A very masculine book"
Unlike the other reviews that I read, I found it hard to listen to this story. The topic was very heavy and disturbing, not realy entertainment for me, although I listened through to the end. I also found the narators forced southern acent detracting from the story. I will be more careful in my audiobook choices in the future.

Big Kuntry King - Let Em Talk
Artist: Big Kuntry King
Featuring: T.I.
Producer: Nard & B
Album: Cocaine 2 Mixtape / Brandon Presents: Max Altitude
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 24 total votes )
T.I. may be currently serving time, but he keeps finding ways to keep himself relevant. On the new track Let Em Talk, T.I. hooks up with fellow Grand Hustlers Big Kuntry and Brandon (one-half of Nard & B) for a track that's as Southern as it gets, but (unfortunately) could leave fans hoping for a new Southern anthem likely disappointed. The production, done by Nard & B, is nothing revolutionary, staying the same pace throughout the track, and while T.I. sounds serious on his opening verse, leaving out his usual witty, snappy lines, ultimately his contribution is mediocre at best. In fact, the standout here is Big Kuntry, who aptly towers over both T.I., providing some fresh perspective to the record's been there, done that "stop snitchin" theme. Let 'Em Talk will be used on two upcoming mixtape projects, Big Kuntry King's Cocaine 2 and Brandon Presents: Max Altitude, neither of which have set release dates.
ed: We have been informed that this track is Big Kuntry's, not T.I.'s, as we previously reported.

John Brooks of the United States celebrates scoring his team's second goal with Aron Johannsson during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group G match between Ghana and the United States.
The United States' victory against Ghana in World Cup action Monday drew historic ratings for ESPN, which amassed an overnight 7.0 ratings average. It was the highest overnight rating ever for a men's World Cup match on ESPN or ESPN2.
Overall, more than 11 million people watched USA-Ghana, the largest audience ever for soccer on the network. The largest concentration of that enormous number resided in Washington, which had the highest ratings in the country.
Top-rated ESPN markets for USA-Ghana: Wash DC (11.8), NY (10.2), Hartford (10.1), Boston (10.0), Columbus (8.9)
— ESPN Research (@ESPNResearch) June 17, 2014
Through 14 matches, Washington is the American leader in average ratings across the ESPN networks:
Here's your perspective, though.
DC leads US in WC ratings, but it's still a Skins town. USA-Ghana did a combined 14.4 on ESPN/Uni in DC; Skins averaged a 25.8 on 3 nets.

Seagate Self-Encrypting HDD Now Gov't Certified
Seagate's Momentus Self-Encrypting Drive received FIPS 140-2 certification.
Tuesday Seagate announced that its Momentus Self-Encrypting Drive (SED)--the world's first laptop HDD with built-in encryption--has secured FIPS 140-2 certification from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
In short, it's a 2.5-inch SED that even the government can rely on. In fact, Seagate's Momentus will be deployed by all U.S. and Canadian federal agencies, state and local governments, and regulated industries required to use FIPS-certified gear.
"Today's NIST approval gives our system builder and end-user customers the peace of mind that Momentus Self-Encrypting Drives deliver the full power of government-grade security," said Dave Mosley, executive vice president of Sales, Marketing and Product Line Management at Seagate.
According to Seagate, the drive's embedded AES encryption chip automatically and transparently encrypts all drive data, not just selected files or partitions. IT administrators can instantly erase all data cryptographically for quick drive redeployment.
Additionally, the Momentus SED eliminates disk initialization and configuration required by encryption software. It even keeps all security keys and cryptographic operations within the drive, separating them from the operating system to provide greater protection against hacking and tampering.
Momentus SEDs with FIPS support are available in 250 GB and 500 GB capacities. To learn more about the entire Momentus range, head here.
7sabot00 , September 15, 2010 12:16 AMIt'll get hacked.
3mark0718 , September 15, 2010 12:35 AMCan you make an image (encrypted, of course), of the drive
without having the key? If not, how do you get your secretary or IT guy
to make a backup of the system?
Yes, the encrypted backup would have to include all of the data blocks
on the disk, which makes backups take longer and take more space,
but that is a good tradeoff for security in many cases.
0Darkk , September 15, 2010 2:54 AMI personally use TrueCrypt to completely encrypt the hard drive. Nice about it is that I can select what cyper to use and it's completely transparent to the OS with little overhead. Also use to encrypt my flash drives and external hard drives.
Recovery is easy. During creation it'll create a recovery CD with the original headers so if it ever gets damaged or lose the password long as you know the original password you can recover the data. Just have to keep the CD in a safe place...still requires a password to use the CD.
Slick stuff.
1randomizer , September 15, 2010 4:01 AMWait, the key is stored on the drive protected only by physical barriers? Oh man. No wonder it only achieved Level 2 certification (there are 4 levels).
0theoutbound , September 15, 2010 4:06 AMrandomizerWait, the key is stored on the drive protected only by physical barriers? Oh man. No wonder it only achieved Level 2 certification (there are 4 levels).
Agreed. It's impressive technology, but if anyone really wants the data and has physical access to the drive they will still get it.
0dEAne , September 15, 2010 5:04 AMIt should be standards to everyone.
1randomizer , September 15, 2010 5:12 AMtheoutboundAgreed. It's impressive technology, but if anyone really wants the data and has physical access to the drive they will still get it.
If the drive had Level 3 or 4 certification it would have to erase all plain text cryptographic keys upon opening of the drive. It wouldn't be so much of an issue if that was the case here. But this drive won't do that.

Most company systems will sync up to a profile which is stored on the company servers. The local hard drive could get trashed and a new drive put in and the profile syncs up again.

Not really, it's just a set standards just like any other set of standards (and pretty generally defined when you read the document) whether it's from UL, IEEE or any other of the bajillion standards agencies (private, public and gov't) that are out there. Put away the tinfoil hat, roads and hard hats have gov't standards too and it's hardly an evil gov't plot to steal your dvd collection.

Did you know the largest single contributor to anonymizer is the US government? When you make the US gov't the keepers to our secrets, who watches the keepers?

We all know Kim Jong-un is an insane tyrant, but this is ridiculous.
Men in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported.
The state-sanctioned guidelines were introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, Radio Free Asia reports. They are now being rolled out across the country – although some people have expressed reservations about getting the look.
"Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will," one source tells Radio Free Asia. "It doesn't always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes."
Oh yeah? How will your face and head look when they're detached from your body? Huh? That's right. Now shut up and hold still, peasant.
On the bright side, it'll be a good look on Rodman.
In other N. Korea news, they just fired two ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan as Obama met with Japanese and South Korean leaders. It's nice to see we're communicating.

Incarceration in the United States is frequently described as an epidemic, with per capita rates nearly quadrupling in the past 30 years. African-Americans appear to be particularly susceptible: In 2011, they were six times more likely than whites to be incarcerated, making up 38% of the 1.6 million Americans behind bars while accounting for only 13% of the U.S. population. Now, a computer simulation originally developed to track infectious disease suggests the longer prison sentences that blacks often receive may accelerate the rate of infection.
In the past years, invisibility cloaks were developed for various senses. Objects can be hidden from light, heat or sound. However, hiding of an object from being touched still remained to be accomplished. KIT scientists have now succeeded in creating a volume in which an object can be hidden from touching similar to a pea under the mattress of a princess. The results are now presented in the renowned Nature Communications journal.
Physicists have found more evidence that the "Higgs-like particle" they discovered two years ago behaves just as the fabled Higgs boson should and they've begun ramping up for fresh discoveries from the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest particle-smasher.
Dark matter is one of the universe's most befuddling, and elusive, components. It could make up roughly a quarter of the universe's total mass and energy, yet no one knows for sure because no one has actually seen it. Well, it may be showing itself at last. nasa's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has recorded high-energy gamma-ray light emanating from the center of the Milky Way that fits well with dark matter predictions.
A distant galaxy containing three supermassive black holes, each millions to billions of times more massive than the Sun, has been discovered 4 billion light-years away.
Space may appear empty -- a soundless vacuum, but it's not an absolute void. It flows with electric activity that is not visible to our eyes. NASA is developing plans to send humans to an asteroid, and wants to know more about the electrical environment explorers will encounter there.
Surrounding the sun is a vast atmosphere of solar particles, through which magnetic fields swarm, solar flares erupt, and gigantic columns of material rise, fall and jostle each other around. Now, using NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, scientists have found that this atmosphere, called the corona, is even larger than thought.
A star in a neighboring galaxy might have swallowed another star. Sitting about 200,000 light-years away in the constellation Tucana, the star HV 2112 appears to be a red supergiant that has engulfed a neutron star. This strange pair, called a Thorne-Zytkow Object, or TZO, was largely theoretical until now.

With its solar panels their cleanest in years, NASA's decade-old Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is inspecting a section of crater-rim ridgeline chosen as a priority target due to evidence of a water-related mineral.
3,500 million years ago the Martian crater Gale, through which the NASA rover Curiosity is currently traversing, was covered with glaciers, mainly over its central mound. Very cold liquid water also flowed through its rivers and lakes on the lower-lying areas, forming landscapes similar to those which can be found in Iceland or Alaska. This is reflected in an analysis of the images taken by the spacecraft orbiting the red planet.
CORVALLIS, Ore. A new study suggests that a warming period more than 400,000 years ago pushed the Greenland ice sheet past its stability threshold, resulting in a nearly complete deglaciation of southern Greenland and raising global sea levels some 4-6 meters.
Scientists excavating an archaeological site in southern Spain have finally gotten the real poop on Neandertals, finding that the Caveman Diet for these quintessential carnivores included substantial helpings of vegetables. Using the oldest published samples of human fecal matter, archaeologists have found the first direct evidence that Neandertals in Europe cooked and ate plants about 50,000 years ago.
Consuming a plant-based diet results in a more sustainable environment and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, while improving longevity, according to new research. Based on findings that identified food systems as a significant contributor to global warming, the study focuses on the dietary patterns of vegetarians, semi-vegetarians and non-vegetarians to quantify and compare greenhouse gas emissions, as well as assess total mortality.
We all feel lonely from time to time. It is one of the fundamental aspects of human nature for us to desire to share time and space with others of our own kind. When devoid of this contact, we can be pulled down into the dark depths of despair. But can you imagine the extreme loneliness of not only being being truly, soul crushingly alone, but forgotten as well? Can you imagine being the very last of your people?
2014 marks the 45th anniversary of the Skamania County Sasquatch Refuge. The closest thing to official government recognition the creature has ever had.
Its no secret that wolves, foxes, and dogs are highly social animals. But beyond all the wagging, pawing and yipping we like to try to interpret, canids may have yet another way to communicate. New research hints at the possibility that dogs and their ilk could be sending each other signals with their eyes.

VIRGINIA—For a politician, having a building with your name on it is the ultimate symbol that you've made a difference in the lives of people. But even before Friday's unveiling of the new Tom Rukavina Engineering Center, on the Mesabi Range College campus, the former state representative from rural Virginia knew his tireless efforts to enhance educational opportunity on the Iron Range had paid off.
The engineering school building that now bears his name got its start several years ago, as educators seeking to introduce an innovative teaching method into an engineering school found a backer in Rep. Rukavina, who had pushed for years to bring four-year educational options to the Range and to better link those opportunities with the needs of the region's major industries.
"It was a meeting of the minds," said Ron Ulseth, Director of Curriculum for the school.
It was also a matter of timing, as the DFL had just retaken the Minnesota House, and Rukavina was tapped to chair the Higher Education and Workforce Development Finance and Policy committee, which gave him significant influence over higher education spending.
It was both Rukavina's foresight and his ability to obtain funding for the school that made the difference, said Carol Helland, Interim Provost at Mesabi Range College, during comments at last Friday's unveiling. "Thank you, Tom, for your vision," she said.
Rukavina, who also spoke at the event, said many others deserve credit more than he. "I just got the funding," he said.
Still, Rukavina acknowledged he was happy to have his name on a school, and particularly pleased he didn't have to die first to achieve the honor. "I think it might have been cheaper and easier, however, if they'd just melted down a couple jars of old pennies and made a life-sized statue of me," he said.
Innovative program
With funding from the taconite production tax and through a partnership with Mankato State University, the new school was launched in January 2010. Since opening to college junior and senior year students, the program has provided students, most of whom come from northeastern Minnesota, with a real hands-on teaching method, known as project-based learning. The students, in most cases, have already completed two years of community college by the time they enter the program, and they spend two more years working towards a bachelor's degree in engineering.
But unlike every other engineering school in the country, where students are expected to learn mostly through classroom lecture, students in the Iron Range Engineering (IRE) program learn by solving real problems and taking on significant projects. Sometimes, that means working with real clients, such as a mining company or electric utility, to solve an engineering problem or challenge. In other cases, students in the program have real product ideas and spend their training developing business plans and fine-tuning product design and manufacturing methods. "A lot of our students are entrepreneurs," said Ulseth.
The project-based approach is much different from traditional teaching methods because it is much more personalized and student-directed and it gives the students more autonomy over their learning program.
"We were looking for a model of learning that would better align with student needs in graduation," said Ulseth about the choice of project-based methods. "Ours is the only purely project-based model in existence in an engineering school," he added.
To date, the program has launched 50 new graduates, and two-thirds of them have remained in northeastern Minnesota upon graduation, many of them going to work for companies like Essar Steel, United Taconite, Marvin Windows, Minnesota Power or Cirrus Designs in Duluth.
Another third of the students have gone on to work for engineering firms elsewhere in Minnesota and a handful now work for major corporations, such as Proctor and Gamble and Amazon, outside of Minnesota.
"It shows our students are capable of competing on a national stage," said Ulseth.
The four-year degree and the real-life experience that Iron Range Engineering provides to students from the region is helping to stem the region's "brain drain," which has been a regional concern for over two decades.
Ulseth experiences some of the benefits of that on a personal as well as professional level, noting that his son and daughter-in-law are each graduates of the program. "And both of them are working on the Iron Range," he said.
Roth Indihar, who grew up on Lake Vermilion, is another young Iron Ranger who has found a career in the area. Indihar, who was a member of IRE's first graduating class, currently works for United Taconite on safety project design. He said the project-based approach to teaching employed at IRE took some getting used to at first.
He had completed two years in the more traditional engineering program at Itasca Community College, where the learning process is highly prescribed and teacher-directed. "Usually, in college, the instructor hands you a syllabus the first day of class and says here's what we're going to be learning."
The project-based model, says Indihar, flipped that traditional approach upside down, giving the student much more control and autonomy over their learning and providing real hands-on experience. "You might not get as much of the highly technical background, but you develop more of the problem-solving skills," he said.
Looking back, Indihar said the program served him very well in preparing him for the workforce. "What I do at United Taconite is very different from the school courses I took in engineering. What the IRE program taught me was what I needed to work in the real world. If I had gone somewhere else, I don't think I'd be at this level."
For Rukavina, it's stories like Indihar's and others that demonstrate the difference the new school has already made for the Iron Range. "From the early years of my tenure, I always wanted to have a four-year program connected to the needs of the mining industry. It really is a dream come true," he said.
A well deserved honor. Tommy was driven to bring educational advancement to the Iron Range. Who will carry the torch now?
I would like to share a funny story about Tommy. Tommy and I went to JC together. Tommy sat in front of me in Professor Andrew Lang's Principles of Economics class. Mr. Lang always took roll, and sat us alphabetically in the lecture hall. Tommy sat in front of me. After Mr. Lang took roll and cast his eyes across the room, he began his lecture by "reading a couple of items out of the Wall Street Journal". Tommy, wise as a trap shy mink, slowly made his way to the back seat in the room, and when the time was right, he silently exited the lecture hall like an Indian scout. I can't remember one time Tommy stayed for a complete lecture.
I felt years later, when I saw him working on behalf of education for the Range, that a building in his name would be appropriate. After all, I reasoned, anybody who never attended class and could graduate from UMD, must have know something about education.

As you know, I'm a huge fan of Stephane Rolland, so I'm excited to see a look from his Fall 2011 Couture collection on the red carpet.
The singer donned a sexy black one-sleeve dress with a bold shoulder and cut-out detail on the thigh.
This detail reveals that Gaga runs very high. From the side we Gaga flashes us her sheer panties and unicorn tattoo. Classy!

Melbourne's auction market consolidated last weekend's strong result with another robust clearance rate at the weekend. The 75.3 percent recorded was just below the 75.5 percent recorded the previous weekend and just below the 77.7 percent recorded over the same weekend last year.
The Melbourne winter auction market is now rising towards spring with the current four weekend average at 74.8 percent compared to the previous four weekend result of 72.9 percent.
Next weekend is the last Saturday auction day before spring begins with listings set to rise significantly through to the end of the year.
Auction numbers in Melbourne have risen steadily over recent weekends with this weekend 647 auctions scheduled compared to the previous weekend's 623 and the 592 listed over the same weekend last year.
Melbourne's south east again recorded the best result of all the suburban regions at the weekend with a strong clearance rate of 82.6 percent. This was closely followed the by outer east with 81.8 percent with the inner south at 78.7 percent, the inner east 77 percent, the north 73.8 percent, the north east 73.7 percent and the west 71 percent.
Notable sales in the inner south reported at the weekend included a 5 bedroom home at 5 St Kilian Street Hampton sold by Hodges for $2,620,000, a 3 bedroom home at 1/13a Dendy Street Brighton sold by Marshall White for $2,230,000, a 1 bedroom home at 23 Huntingfield Road Brighton sold for $2,006,000 by Nick Johnstone and a 4 bedroom home at 68 Comer Street Brighton East sold by Buxton for $1,920,000.
The most expensive property reported sold at auction at the weekend was a 5 bedroom home at 589 Riversdale Road Camberwell sold for $3,280,000 by Marshall White. The most affordable property reported sold at the weekend was a 1 bedroom unit at 1/68 Woornack Road Carnegie sold for $230,000 by Biggin and Scott.
First home buyer numbers continue to rise in the Melbourne market as this group gradually re-energises. According to latest ABS data, 1715 first home buyer loans were approved in Victoria over June which was the same result as recorded over the previous month.
Despite the flat result over the month, the June result was the highest monthly total recorded in Victoria by first home buyers since August 2013.
First home buyers however account for just 8.6 percent of Victorian housing loan activity which is just above the record low market share of 8.1 percent reported in April this year.
First home buyers will continue to gradually work their way back into the Melbourne market as low interest rates and flat house price growth improves affordability for this group.

India Insight
Permit-free visits for foreigners to IndiaŌĆÖs Unexplored Paradise?
For the first time in half a century, India plans to let foreigners visit all of its troubled north east without special permits, opening up the picturesque region that New Delhi hopes will be its gateway to Southeast Asia, local media have reported.
If the proposal goes through, it will open up the eight north eastern states that remains a mystery even to many Indian, a region so unexplored that IndiaŌĆÖs tourism board sells it as ŌĆ£Paradise Unexplored.ŌĆØ
It could also give a fillip to the local economy, which now largely is sustained on federal handouts, creating jobs and boosting incomes in the states where separatist movements have tapped into resentment over lack of development.
Seven of these states are linked to the mainland through a narrow strip of land, called the ChickenŌĆÖs Neck, that runs between China and Bangladesh. Foreigners need permits to go to every state except Assam, the most developed in the region, and even Indians need passes to go to some places.
For decades, the government has restricted access, worried about the influence of Christian missionaries and other outsiders on the native cultures of the tribespeople of the region and as it tried to keep a lid on rebellions. Foreigners can travel only in groups of at least four and must be accompanied by an approved guide.
New Delhi and Beijing dispute the boundary between them in this region and both claim the Indian-controlled state of Arunachal Pradesh. But there have not been any recent military clashes between the two nations, which fought a short war in 1962.
Many rebel groups are in peace talks with the government and except for Assam and Manipur, the states are largely peaceful. Observers say that popular support for violent groups is fast declining. India has also mooted a ŌĆ£Look EastŌĆØ policy, using the region as a gateway to economically and strategically important countries like Myanmar and Thailand.
The risk of insurgency remains and how the government deals with insurgents will determine how the liberalisation will be welcomed. But it is clear that the opening up of this sensitive region signals IndiaŌĆÖs increasing confidence in dealing with internal faultlines.

Lee shooting investigation could take a couple of weeks
LEE - Circumstances that caused officers to shoot a local man near his home early Monday morning may not be known until the new year.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said she expects investigators from the AG's office and the State Police Major Crime Unit to take "a couple of weeks" before producing an official report.
She added further information will be released when the investigation is complete. It is standard procedure for state officials to investigate an incident where police use deadly force, according to Morrell.
Area police responded to 289 Lee Hook Road after the man's wife, Mary, reported that her husband, Steve Amazeen, 45 discharged a weapon in their home and was possibly suicidal just after midnight.
After being shot by police, Amazeen was transported to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, where he underwent surgery. Amazeen's wife, and their daughter, were not injured during the incident.
As of Tuesday, Amazeen remains in good condition at Wentworth-Douglass, according to spokeswoman Noreen Biehl.
She said Monday that she could not comment on the type of weapon Amazeen fired or any specifics related to the shooting or any pertinent timeline. It remains unclear whether Amazeen will be charged in connection with the incident prior to the shooting, which is being investigated by Lee Police.

Deathmatch Redux - Prologue
By OminousFlare 1 Comments
I have a great story to tell. But I just have trouble putting it out in words. I have a very poor vocabulary, and my grammar is rather shaky at best. So I'm going to try something, summarizing my story with my best effort and capability. It's definitely no Shakespeare, but... let's give it a shot.
The following original story is rated FR15 for some sexual implications, harsh language, and some amount of non-explicit violence. The story is set in the 616 Marvel Universe.
Prologue 1: Duel of the Masters
It all started as a pleasant day, eighteen years ago. Akai Tanner was just a little kid, barely seven years of age. His father, Kendrick Tanner, had brought him to a small island off the coast of Costa Rica, Ameline Island. It was going to be a building site for Kendrick's dream, a tourist attraction with the most extravagant entertainment facilities known to the world as of then. With the fundings readied and the construction began, it was a dream come true. Alas, it was not to last.
The father and child were exploring the site, mesmerized by the great opportunities that land could offer. As they returned to the four-wheeler they had drove in from their boat, two other vehicles pulled up behind their transport. Six men stepped out of both cars, with two carrying a suitcase each.
"Mr. Tanner, I presume?"
"My boss wishes to purchase off this little island from you."
Kendrick was less than interested in money, of course. Money he could always earn from his creation. Money wasn't involved in his dream.
"Who is your boss?"
"Lepton Foxe."
The name was well-known to him at the time. He was a powerful adversary in his business. Almost an underminer. Yearning to sort this out with the irritable tyrant, Kendrick agreed to follow the men to their boss, a fatal mistake he would have wished he hadn't made.
Within the cruise ship Foxe was waiting in, the tyrant was having a tarot-card reading in the ballroom - a request made by his servile wife. The wizened old man had an ill reading as he flipped the cards upright... much to Foxe's displeasure, naturally.
"The first card is The King. It represents Mr. Foxe's wealth and fortune."
"The Queen represents Mrs. Foxe's doubts and worries."
"The Wheel represents a big change that is to come upon your family."
"The Lion represents an impending adversary of great strength Mr. Foxe shall encounter."
"The Devil. If Mr. Foxe's mind is not strong enough, he shall cling onto him."
"Death. It shall pay a visit to your family in the near future."
That drew the straw. He was amused at first, by the ludicrous nature of the reader's words. But the mentioning of the final card was an insult his pride and ego - traits Foxe is well-known of - would not tolerate.
"Are you done?! You dare to toy me with this little magician act?"
Lepton Foxe was known as more than a ruthless businessman. Like many of the super-powered beings of New York, he too wield certain 'talents' that he sometimes used to further convince his fellow clients and competitions not to be a problem for him. Using the minimum of ease, Lepton raised the cards into his rising palms and swirled them around in mid-air. Telepathic display this was not. Nothing more than mere illusions, to be accurate.
As Foxe continued his mesmerizing performance, he secretly stashed away one of the cards into his costume - the Death card.
"Fate is controlled by man's hands," Foxe boasted as he slowly descended the cards onto the table, neatly stacking them back into a single deck before the reader. "Go ahead. Deal the cards. Let's see what kind of fate you could deal me this time."
The reader shook his head as he began to deal the cards once more.
"Mr. Foxe, you're too confident of yourself. As such, you have brought your wife more concerns than ever. And it's due to your self-righteousness that the wheels of fate have turned for you. Soon, your adversary shall appear."
After dealing the final card on the table, the Devil card remained nowhere in sight.
"This is no longer the Devil card. How do you explain that?"
Unknowledgeable in Tarot as any average individual, Foxe had not known about the true representation of the card.
"This card, Mr. Foxe, is Justice. If you continue to use unjustly methods to deal with your adversaries, Death will still appear." With that remark made, the reader drew another card onto the table, and the said Death card was revealed. But the reader was yet to finish. From the main deck, he continued his draw. "Your family, your first-born, second-born, and your third-born will all be taken away by Death itself. And if you remain stubborn, with Justice standing by your adversaries, she, too will receive the proper judgement."
As he concluded his reading, the reader pointed his index towards Lepton's youngest child - his daughter, sitting in Mrs. Foxe's arms.
"Bull***! I, Lepton Foxe, only believe in Man's triumph over God! I will never believe your lunatic ramblings." Lepton then proceeded to pull out the one card he had kept hidden within the cuff of his suit and flashed it in the open. "The Devil was already in my hands all along! What do you say to that?!"
As Foxe released a maniacal burst of laughter, he tossed the card away from his sight and departed the religious talk he was becoming tired of. When he had turned to walk away from the table, however, Foxe failed to perceive the discarded Devil card's perfect landing on top of a particular card in the center of the tarots - the King card. Both Mrs. Foxe and the reader, naturally, witnessed the ominous sight.
On the other end of the ship, Foxe's men had successfully brought Kendrick and his son on-board.
"Escort Mr. Tanner down to Mr. Foxe's quarters," ordered the only member of the black-suited lackeys dressed in white.
As the other men proceeded to lead Kendrick as they were ordered, the white-suited one held young Akai away from Kendrick's clutches.
"What is the meaning of this?!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tanner. We'll take good care of your son."
"Just you dare harm my boy."
Bitter that his son was taken away and be put in potential danger, Kendrick paused for a moment as the men guided him. He turned around to take one more glance of Akai, hoping his boy would be safe.
"This way, Mr. Tanner," insisted one of the men escorting him, forcing Kendrick to go along with this blatant trap.
Standing over an adjacent platform up top, the reader and Mrs. Foxe watched the events unfold with worried hearts.
"Mrs. Foxe, you have to convince your husband to take precautions. Even though his Art of Deception might be legendary and unmatched, deception will always lead to a bad end."
Within, Foxe's men had brought Kendrick down the steps to an arena, where he came face-to-face with the group Lepton Foxe was notorious for being the supreme leader of, The Elemental Eight. As the name suggests, the members of the team consisted of individuals with the powers over the elements of the Earth, with only the leader himself being the exception. Standing patiently in the spacious room, three of the eight members challenged Kendrick to a fight. Kendrick wiped them clean, naturally, even when all three of them worked together at the same time.
The female of the trio, Maria, had the power over the earth. She had attempted to seal Kendrick in a solid dome of hardened soil, leaving only a single opening available. This would give the fire-wielder, Jankris, the chance to envelop the entire interior of the dome with his flames, leaving not a single area untouched. His heat would be further increased by the airbender, Henderson, who would use his power over the wind to increase the intensity of the flames bursting into the dome.
The strategy was well-planned, of course, if they were dealing with any normal individual.
Instead, Kendrick's powers allowed him to avoid any of that mishap before it actually happened. It was not telepathy, future-sight or any of those mind-bending skills, but rather the heightened perception of his senses. As soon as Maria had raise the dome out of the Earth, Kendrick had already leaped out of the way and out of sight. The plan proceeded as intended with ignorance, and only after a minute of barbecue cook-out did Maria lowered the dome, only to find a circular section of the flooring charred and blackened, but with no corpse in sight.
"Over here."
The voice lured their eyes above, much to their mistake. As soon as they raised their heads, three wooden sticks were fired towards them, each of them hitting the same spot on their bodies accurately - the lungs. Naturally, the impact was not strong enough to harm them in any way, but it was certainly a satisfying victory for Tanner, who literally dropped in on them thereafter from the section of the ceiling he had clung onto.
"Hope I didn't damage your egos too badly, boys. Lady."
Standing above in a private booth, the familiar maniacal laughter was spread throughout the room, echoing from one corner to another. Turning their attention to the source of the voice, the three fallen villains took in a gasp of nervousness as Lepton Foxe threw a vicious stare over them.
"Mr. Foxe, I presume?" Kendrick remarked with glee.
"The Elemental Eight had always been unbeatable. Even with the three of you, you are still utterly defeated. My entire reputation is tarnished by you pathetic worms!"
"We understand what we must do."
Upon Maria's signal, the three super-powered beings each pulled out a dagger sheathed in their costumes. To Kendrick's utter disbelief, the trio proceeded to lash out the blades against their eyes, leaving them eternally blinded.
"The three of us," the trio said all at once, "we shall never use our powers ever again."
After the shocking episode was done with, Lepton led Kendrick back into the ballroom he had came from, with his son escorted behind him by Foxe's man. There, another surprise awaited Kendrick. Sitting at the end of the table this time was Rebbecca Tanner, Kendrick's very own wife.
"I would never have thought that you would be interested in conversing with a woman as average and powerless a normal citizen as my wife, Mr. Foxe," remarked Kendrick as he approached the table. "Unless you have an ulterior motive...."
"You belittle your wife, Mr. Tanner. She came here prepared, my friend. Look what she brought with her." Reaching under his gold-plated dinner jacket, Lepton pulled out a sheet of paper familiar to Kendrick's eyes. "Your deed to this land."
Ashamed, Rebbecca turned away from her husband while shedding a tear. "I'm sorry, Kendrick..."
"Half of this island has already belonged to me, Tanner. Your little dream of building that Tourist Resort could no longer be fulfilled. There can only be one tycoon on this island!"
"Name a price then, I'll buy it back."
"No... I wish to gain that second-half of the island as well!"
"And you wish to blackmail that out of me?"
"No, not blackmail. We are both super-powered individuals, after all. Let's battle this out. The winner walks away with the other half of the deed."
"Hmph. You are the Master of Deception. I am the Master of Perception. Both our abilities lie in different areas. Why the need for battle?"
Again, the maniacal laughter.
"That is, unless you do not wish for your entire family to leave this ship in one piece!" Lepton's frightful words caused Rebbecca to leap in fear, and into Kendrick's arms.
"What do you mean by that?!" Tanner retaliated.
"Kendrick Tanner, I will battle you today no matter what!"
Kendrick breathed in slowly. His adversary is frighteningly powerful and utterly cunning, but it was his belief that the power of perception - along with his belief in justice - will ultimate triumph.
"Fine. If I win, you shall return me the deed, and allow my family to leave here safely. But if I lose, Ameline Island is yours."
"Excellent! BUT, I feel that the stakes are not exhilarating enough. I, Lepton Foxe, had battled against you for more than a decade, and yet we were unable to decide a reigning champion. This match we have today, whoever loses... will have to swear abandonment from using his powers forever! And you know what that means..."
Having to witness Lepton's own minions' unbelievable actions for himself, he more than understood his meaning. Naturally, with his strongest perception being his hearing, he knew, rather than a depravity of sight, Foxe would ask from him his very own ears.

One of the McBabies has a birthday this week. If you've followed my blog, you know what that means. Lots of celebrating, lots of prayers and tears. And my traditional bday-eve-viewing of Happy Gilmore. ("…'til the night closes in… big gulps, huh?… you eat pieces of xxxx for breakfast?"… see, don't you feel better already?)
While we were on vacation a few weeks ago, there were some early mornings. (Refer to a previous post about "vacationing" with kids.) The McBabies were dead tired, up later at night than normal, swimming their hearts out, and – wait for it – getting up earlier than average. It's as if God was pointing and laughing.
Ana woke one day at the crack of dawn and I brought her into our bed. I knew the routine. She'd quickly wake everyone in the loft where we were staying. Shocker of all shockers; she laid down in between us and conked back out. I honestly don't know if she's done that since her newborn days. I know that I could've fallen back asleep next to her, but I was so taken with the sweet line underneath her chin – the little crease that makes her 1-yr old face have a double chin. I could not stop staring at her. She had her arms folded – one resting under her chin and the other crossed across her tummy. She was breathing peacefully and my gratitude was leaking out of my eyes.
I looked next to me at an amazing man. A man who hasn't aged a year – unless you're talking negative numbers. He's like the real-life Benjamin Button. I want to grow old with him – my weird little baby man…
I looked to one bed and saw my 4-yr old little boy with his bum raising his blankie in the air. He's got more love in his little finger than I could ever have imagined. I looked to another bed and saw a little girl who oozes with generosity and makes presents and cards and bracelets and paintings and writes songs and crochets designs for all of her friends and family.
God is good. All the time. But that morning, I felt His kindness in massive waves.
Thanks be to God.

John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. "Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, 'What are you looking for?' They said to him, 'Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?' He said to them, 'Come, and you will see.' So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day" (John 1:38-39a).
Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had the barley loaves and fishes (see John 6:8-9). When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew (see John 12:20-22).
Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras.
"...[T]he Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, 'It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word'" (Acts of the Apostles 6:2–4).

Howard Johnson's Weathervane -History is Hiding Right in Front of You, Just Look Around!
Posted on: April 3, 2011
It's not a Howard Johnson's Restaurant anymore, but who could not notice that classic orange roof, cupola (tho not aqua) and Simon and The Pieman? I notice it every time I drive past this location (which I will be keeping secret at the moment, lest anyone go try and take down the weathervane!)
I have been told that Hojo's were more numerous and popular in the Northeast (they originated in Quincy, MA) and they were my favorite growing up. My grandmother would buy pints of Howard Johnson's ice cream and keep them in the freezer at her house – I can picture a scoop of strawberry ice cream in one of the little striped glass Pyrex bowls she'd serve it to us in. Later as I got older the Hojo's out on the Mass Pike would be a welcome stop on a long drive back from Girl Scout Camp, and even later than that the one just across the highway from where I grew up was a late night hang for high school kids just learning to drink coffee (or me, eating my favorite flavor of ice cream – Howard Johnson's mocha chip.) Orange and aqua is still one of my favorite color combos, even if there are only 2? 3? Howard Johnsons restaurants still around.
Keep your eyes peeled, you never know what might be a clue to the past!
http://www.roadsidefans.com Glenn Wells
That is a very unusual cupola style, and I would say it's pre-1960. In the 1960s most "modern" style Ho Jo's used a cupola style like this: http://www.roadsidefans.com/hojolgcupola1.jpg
Then in the 1970s they switched to this style (with no weathervane – BOO!)
Great picture with the sun and the flag. God bless America (the real one – not the one hijacked by interest groups.)
http://www.RetroRoadmap.com Mod Betty / RetroRoadmap.com
Glenn – thanks for the historical backgroud about the cupola – and the kind words on the photo – I was pleased with how it came out, and since it was really a drive by / split decision to photo it I'm also pleased with how it came out.
I'm also partial to this one : http://www.flickr.com/photos/modbetty/5586926441/ but it doesn't have the famous orange roof.
http://flickr.com/romleys romleys
but this is a knockoff HoJos…

could be! Funny that they'd go to so much trouble to pretend to be a Hojos!
