Tying it all together
Sorry i haven't blogged for a while, i've been trying desperately to get this novel i'm writing cracked on with. It's difficult, because rather than write a nice, simple detective based novel, i've decided to spice it up by having a terrorism investigation running side by side with a murder investigation, but i'm trying frantically to tie it all together so it turns into one big plot rather than two seperate smaller ones.
I've reached a critical point where i need to decide if...
I'd better not say anything actually, i'd hate to spoil the surprise if this one gets published!
I've spent pretty much all week writing, with just one break for kung fu tonight, which nearly killed me after a week sat at the keyboard. Still, i think exercise is vital for a writer, as by the very nature of our profession we spend far too much time sat in front of a screen hacking away (some of us with one finger, Matt).
I have found though, that exercise helps my brain to function properly. Without it i get bogged down in words and pages without really seeing what i'm writing.
I'm not sure if there's a point to this blog, except maybe to mention that the lovely Col Bury has posted up A Long Time Coming on his guest stories tab on his new website, so if you missed it on here and on Matt Hilton's, go and check it out along with some excellent stories from some very talented writers.

I have a funny relationship with Grill'd - I've never had a bad meal there, but for some reason I always think that I don't like their burgers. When I do eat there, I usually find myself ordering something I wouldn't normally – a chicken burger, for example – and always end up enjoying it. Today we decided to head to Grill'd in the busy and ever-expanding Lakeside Joondalup shopping centre for a spot of lunch, specifically to sample their new range of sliders and sides.
There are four sliders on offer – beef with cheese, mustard & pickle; beef or chicken with pomegranate & mild wasabi slaw; and chicken with asian slaw & roasted peanuts. The two new sides are sweet potato chips with hot chilli mayo and asian slaw with fresh mint, coriander and roasted peanuts. If you're not familiar with Grill'd, you can see the rest of the menu on their website.
You can select whichever sliders you like, at two for $14 or three for $17 – on par with a "standard" Grill'd meal, as most full-size burgers are around the $13-$15 mark. The three I chose were:
Sweet potato is one of my favourite things, and these chips were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I'd come back for these alone. This was a "share" size serve ($8.80, a single serve is $4.80), plus $0.70 for the mayo. It's pretty obvious that one tiny serve of mayo is not enough for the share size fries, especially if you're like me and could just eat it with a spoon. I'd thoroughly recommend at least two servings of mayo with the share size.
The asian slaw with fresh mint, coriander and roasted peanuts ($3.80) is the same as in the chicken slider, and I found this rather underwhelming. There was just a small amount of dressing mostly dolloped on the top, and there wasn't a peanut in sight as with the slider. The peanuts would have added some much needed texture and flavour to what was basically a cup of cabbage with a few herbs.
I need to accept the fact that I do actually like Grill'd. The new sliders were very nice, and I can see myself ordering them again – particularly the cheeseburger. I'll pass on the slaw but the sweet potato fries get a big two-thumbs-up from me.

The original N64 version of Banjo-Tooie was met with near-universal critical acclaim, though some were disappointed by the cancellation of one of the title's most lauded additions -- a feature known as "Stop 'n' Swop," where special eggs located in Banjo-Kazooie could be imported into Tooie to exchange for various prizes.
Now, nearly a decade later, the feature has found its way into the XBLA re-release of Banjo-Tooie -- but this time around, the rewards are a tad more tangible. As seen in the video after the jump, an achievement, gamer pic and a Banjo-Kazooie NXE theme (as well as a few in-game cheats and items) are all up for grabs if you've got the mettle to go egg hunting in Banjo the First. And by "the mettle," we of course mean "the GameFAQs guide."

Get Past Your Core Beliefs and Confront the Dissonance in Your Portfolio
At the end of the day, the ultimate arbiter of reality is price. Price is the only thing that pays. You can throw out opinions, breaking headlines, confidence, sentiment, valuations, economic ratios, or any other indicator of where we are at in the current market cycle.
The market does not care where you or I think it should go and often times react in a completely unpredictable way.That is why you have to be prepared for any eventual outcome if you want to be a successful investor.
Everyone has been wrong in their investing endeavors at some point in time. I often admit that I am too cautious when stocks are going up and not aggressive enough buying dips when those opportunities are presented. I find myself fighting those same what if scenarios in my head all the time. There is no shame in being wrong; there is only shame in staying wrong despite all evidence to the contrary.
Here are a couple of simple tips to overcome cognitive dissonance in your investment portfolio:
1. Don't fall in love with any investment You don't want to become so enamored with a particular stock or exchange-traded fund that you find yourself watching it fall out of bed or underperform. Try to be as objective as possible when looking at your existing positions to determine if they still warrant being in your portfolio. 2. Stop calling tops. Every week I see a new expert trying to tell us how stocks can't possibly go any higher and to prepare for Armageddon in the markets. Know why? Fear sells. However, fear rarely makes you any money. 3. Create a watch list.You should have a watch list of positions that you are considering for your portfolio and comparing them to your existing holdings. Refresh these ideas on a regular basis as the markets change to make sure you are capturing new opportunities and setting price points where you will implement them.I recently purchased the Vanguard Emerging Market ETF (VWO) for my growth-oriented clients because it was a holding on my watch list that I actively monitored and met the price targets I established. 4. Manage risk with stop losses. In investing there are four possible outcomes: (1) a big gain, (2) a small gain, (3) a small loss and (4) a big loss. The first three outcomes are acceptable. However, you always want to avoid a big loss that can set you back significantly. I always recommend setting a trailing stop loss or other sell discipline to define your risk and delineate a clear exit strategy. 5. Stay balanced. While it may not always be possible to clearly see both sides of the trade based on our core beliefs, you should keep a balanced mindset when constructing your portfolio. Confidence and discipline can be used effectively to implement new investment ideas.
However, an overabundance of greed, fear, or conviction can wreak havoc on your nest egg. Consider building your portfolio with multiple asset classes as another method of diversification and risk management. While there is no perfect formula for the stock market, there are disciplined steps you can take to improve your outcome. The first undertaking on that journey is to become self-aware of any ideological bias that may have worked against you in the past and fight to overcome it in the future. That way you are better prepared to take advantage of new opportunities when they come your way. At the time of publication the author had a position in VWO.

Macquarie Infrastructure Company's Hawaii Gas Business Receives Public Utilities Commission Approval On LNG Shipments
Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE:MIC) announced that its Hawaii Gas business has received approval from the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission ("HPUC") to land containerized liquefied natural gas ("LNG") in Hawaii. The decision by the HPUC was issued on March 6, 2014. Hawaii Gas is currently the only company in Hawaii approved to introduce LNG into the state.
Hawaii Gas intends to ship LNG from the U.S. mainland and use it as a backup fuel source for its synthetic natural gas operations on Oahu. The initiative will increase the reliability of its fuel supply to residential and commercial customers.
"Our Hawaii Gas business has been diligently pursuing its LNG strategy for the past few years," said James Hooke, Chief Executive Officer of MIC. "We're pleased with the decision of the HPUC and look forward to having Hawaii Gas bring a relatively lower cost, clean-burning energy source to Hawaii."
Hawaii Gas intends to use ISO (International Organization for Standardization) containers to ship LNG from the West Coast to Oahu on conventional container ships. ISO containers typically hold approximately 10,000 gallons of LNG. The LNG will be re-gasified and introduced into Hawaii Gas' distribution pipelines in Honolulu using a mobile vaporization unit.
Synthetic natural gas and re-gasified LNG are chemically virtually identical. Customers of Hawaii Gas should not notice any difference in the performance of their appliances as a result of the introduction of re-gasified LNG into the Hawaii Gas system. About Macquarie Infrastructure Company Macquarie Infrastructure Company owns, operates and invests in a portfolio of infrastructure businesses providing basic services to customers in the United States. Its businesses consist of a an airport services business, Atlantic Aviation, a gas processing and distribution business, Hawaii Gas, and a 50% interest in a bulk liquid terminals business, International-Matex Tank Terminals. MIC also owns and operates businesses in a Contracted Power and Energy segment including five solar power generation facilities and a district energy business. The Company is managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Macquarie Group. For additional information, please visit the Macquarie Infrastructure Company website at www.macquarie.com/mic. Forward-Looking Statements This release contains forward-looking statements. MIC may, in some cases, use words such as "project", "believe", "anticipate", "plan", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "should", "would", "could", "potentially", or "may" or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this release are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond MIC's control and which are described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, changes in general economic or business conditions; its ability to service, comply with the terms of and refinance debt, successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses, retain or replace qualified employees, manage growth, make and finance future acquisitions, and implement its strategy; its shared decision-making with co-investors over investments including the distribution of dividends; its regulatory environment establishing rate structures and monitoring quality of service, demographic trends, the political environment, the economy, tourism, construction and transportation costs, air travel, environmental costs and risks, fuel and gas costs; its ability to recover increases in costs from customers, reliance on sole or limited source suppliers, risks or conflicts of interests involving its relationship with the Macquarie Group and changes in U.S. federal tax law.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Ordering for the Fun of it at Miles Kimball
May 29, 2008
Full Review
I have been shopping at
Miles Kimball
for over 20 years. First I bought product through their paper catalog, and then with the advent of the internet, I made purchases using their website.
About Miles Kimball
This company has been in business since 1935. They offer a lot of different products. I would say the equivalent of Miles Kimball would be a department store. They offer everything from kitchen gadgets and outdoor/garden items to health and beauty, games and even pet products. Just like a department store, some items are of better quality than others.
Navigating the Site
This website is fairly similar to other online shopping sites, but with a few differences.
At the Top
The very top of the website offers two text links to: My Account and Customer Service. Beneath this header are five colored tabs: Home, Serenity Falls (gifts and collectibles), Candy Shoppe (candy, chocolate, drink mixes), Miles Kimball Cards (Christmas cards) and the Shopping Cart.
Under the tabs are buttons that link to: Catalog Quick Order (fill in the item number and quantity), Email Sign-up, and a Search box.
To the Left
This side of the page offers category links. Some of them include: Kitchen, Table Linens, Storage & Organization, Home Decor, Bathroom, Bedroom, Home Office, Books, Apparel & Jewelry, Hobbies & Leisure, Children, Photo Gifts/Cards, Holidays.
There are also some Easy Shopping links: New Arrivals, Best of Personalized, As Seen on TV, Kimball Klearance, Miles Kimball Sale, Web Exclusives.
In the Middle
The center of the Home Page includes a confusing array of images that are category specific rather than focusing on particular products. There is also a link to a customer survey.
Along the Bottom
More text links invite investigation of: About Us, Contact Us, Privacy & Security, Careers, Catalog Request, Quibble-Free Guarantee, Order Status, Shipping, Popular Searches. There is also a toll-free phone number for ordering.
Lets Go Shopping!
Over the years, I have ordered a variety of products that include: kitchen gadgets, measuring spoons, food hand-grinders, organizing products, personalized pencils and mailing labels.
My latest shopping expedition included a search for some garden decor for my mother. She loves whirl-a-gigs and pinwheels that spin in the breeze. I wanted to surprise her with a gift. The Miles Kimball paper catalog arrived and showed a neat holographic whirl-a-gig that was shaped like a flower. I knew she would love it.
I also used the Search feature to see if more whirl-a-gigs were available. In the search box, I typed wind ornament and one result showed a musical Christmas tree ornament ($12.50). I then typed in whirl-a-gig, and the search showed no results. I typed in lawn ornament, and seven results included deer sculptures ($21.99), frog yard ornaments ($19.99), outdoor squirrel ornaments in three different sizes ($4.99 - $9.29), a pair of flamingoes ($16.99) and go figure this one magical reindeer food ($2.99).
I gave up on the search feature and went to the Oudoor/Garden category. A sub-category included Windsocks, Banners, Chimes. This came back with eight results, but not the items I wanted. So I tried the sub-category of Outdoor Decor. This search yielded quite a few results, and the Holographic Flower Spinner ($8.99) was on page five. (Of course, if you have the item number from the catalog, you can type that directly into the search box for instant results.)
Each product page features a photograph and brief description. In the case of the Flower Spinner, the product information also listed the items dimensions. One disappointing feature is that the photographs cannot be enlarged, and there are no additional views of the item.
To add items to the shopping cart, at the bottom of each product page is the item description, item number, price and a box to indicate quantity. (Sale prices are written in red if there is a sale; otherwise, the prices are in black.) Type in the quantity and click the Add to Cart button. A note beneath the button says, Any sale price will be shown in your shopping cart. Once the button is clicked, a box appears that says the item has been added to the cart, and there is another button you can click to view the carts contents. All the product pages include a link at the bottom that says View Cart.
Checking Out
To check out, click the View Cart link. This opens a page where the items in the cart appear at the right in a column, complete with product photo, quantity ordered, item number, price and whether the product is available. A subtotal appears at the bottom. You can change the quantity of items and update the cart from this page.
The page offers a box to enter a catalog promotion code if you are ordering from a paper catalog. New users are required to fill out the typical shipping and contact information. Once you fill in this information, you need to indicate this is the address the items are shipping to. If you wish items shipped to a different address, there is a link to add another address. When finished, click the Continue button to check out.
Next a page opens with shipping choices. In my case: Best Service ($5.99), USPS Priority Mail ($11.99), FedEx Home/Ground ($13.99), FedEx Second Day ($21.99), FedEx Standard Overnight ($37.99). A note also appeared that said that I could spend $7.12 more without increasing the shipping costs.
If you dont like to receive emails from online stores, make sure to uncheck the box on this page or else youll start receiving emails from Miles Kimball.
Payment choices include: American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover.
Notification & Shipping
Shortly after placing the order, I received an email confirmation. Then I received notification the order had shipped. However, there was no tracking number provided and no way to obtain one. This was disappointing as I like tracking shipments so that I know when to expect them.
The package arrived in a timely fashion. It came in a sturdy cardboard box. The spinner was unassembled in a plastic bag. It became a family project to put it together. My mother loves it!! However, this is one of the products that has some quality issues. The materials are holding up great, but the spinner tends to fly apart with any stiff breeze. Then I have to chase down the parts that flung themselves around the yard and reassemble it.
I am not a frequent
Miles Kimball
shopper. However, I have been an off-and-on customer over the years. I usually buy products that I cant find elsewhere or that are a great value. As a rule, product quality is good. I have only had issue with a few items that I felt could have been better made. No doubt I will shop here again.
I hope you found this review useful.

ESPN.com: Chicago Bears | [Print without images] |
Tommie Harris' injury history is one reason the Bears need to develop depth along the defensive line. |
CHICAGO -- Nothing encapsulates the phrase "inexact science" quite like the NFL draft. Whether you're in the business of trying to predict a draft, or in the business of actually doing the drafting, the whole process (after maybe the first 10-15 picks) requires a substantial leap of faith. With that said, I spent most of the week trying to familiarize myself with players who might appeal to the Bears based on their projected draft status, their position in relation to roster needs and the organization's recent draft history.
It's tough to forecast who is still going to be on the board after two rounds, but most of the players listed below have been given below a second-round grade by most major publications/analysts.
Defensive tackle: The Bears' defensive system calls for lighter and quicker players to anchor the interior of the defensive line, even at nose tackle, where Marcus Harrison's weight issue caused problems in 2009. Although Henry Melton may be slated for a move inside, the Bears always place a premium on drafting defensive linemen, and with Tommie Harris' history, you can never have too many quality defensive tackles.
Free safety: The Bears have drafted a safety in every draft since 2005 (Chris Harris, Danieal Manning, Kevin Payne, Craig Steltz and Al Afalava), but still lack a consistent playmaker at the position. Since free agency offers little help in this area -- outside of Darren Sharper and Ryan Clark -- chances are high the Bears use one of their first picks on a safety.
Strong safety:Lovie Smith has always viewed the safety positions as interchangeable, but moving guys back and forth hasn't always worked; see Kevin Payne. The Bears need a big, physical hitter in the box, but someone who can also run. It's not easy to find these guys in the third- or fourth-round, but the Bears have always felt they can find a safety anywhere. Unfortunately, their track record the past few years seems to indicate otherwise.
Cornerback:The Bears need size at cornerback despite taking D.J. Moore in 2009, and they need to address the depth at this position. Once again, I think Corey Graham can play, but the Bears are down on his speed. After Graham, they have Moore and Nathan Vasher, so this is a critical area for the Bears this offseason.
On Friday, we look at offensive tackle, guard, wide receiver and defensive end.

4.5 Have lasted for ages. 1004adam1990 | 03/04/2011 | See all 1004adam1990's reviews (5) I bought my 1st and only pair of these headphones back in 2009, after having several Skull Candy products that died after 2-3 months, I decided to try a bigger company and I'm glad I did. The quality isn't amazing, buy hey for 10 quid it's pretty damn good. The bass is good, as is the treble quality, although I feel when playing pod-cast's it struggles a bit with people talking loudly, it's nothing severe, it's just noticeable. And just this morning after owning them since August 2009 I'm sad to say that the left ear piece has given in.But 10 pounds every 2 years is great value, would recommend them to anyone.
4.5 Excellent value for money. VolvoMan | 05/02/2011 | See all VolvoMan's reviews (1) I lost my first pair of these, and was so impressed that I bought the same again. To those who say the lack bass - clearly they don't fit your ears. Mine fit perfectly with the standard sized ear-buds, though you get smaller and larger in the box. Sony rate them down to 6Hz, which is incredible - but having heard some large Asian drums through them where you really "feel" rather than hear the music I can believe the claim. At the same time they are not too bass heavy. They are also very compact and comfortable, and I find it easy to forget that I am wearing them, which is just as it should be. Highly recommended.
4.5 Really Good! kosaniec | 28/10/2010 | See all kosaniec's reviews (2) I am still waiting for my earphones to be delivered but I had been using them before I ordered the new one from the website. The sound quality is really good. For this price I highly recommend them!I really don't know what people expect for 10 quid in comparison to other earphones on the market. For this price, probably on of the best sound quality I have heard so far.
4.5 Stopped Working tommay96 | 26/08/2010 | See all tommay96's reviews (1) After less than a year one of the headphones now has no output, after very casual use. Weren't particularly good anyway, agree with the review below about treble & bass
4.5 NOT IMPRESSED! dudebuymygeardude | 22/02/2010 | See all dudebuymygeardude's reviews (2) Apparently these in-ear headphones provide 'superb sonic performance with deep bass' in the product description, although in actual fact they don't, they are just bland budget earphones! You need to turn the volume up a lot higher on your mp3 player to compensate for all the treble, and lack of bass, which results in a headache! Got EQ turned onto Heavy and X-Bass activated and its just tinny, tinny, tinny. GETTING A REFUND OFF SONY
4.5 deffcom1 deffcom1 | 06/01/2010 | See all deffcom1's reviews (1) delivery time excellent,packaging excellent,product.......well to be honest i love crystal clear sound.The sound re-produced by these phones is very good,the bass is awesome but for me i like more sharp clarity.However for 9.99 i am more than happy and would recommend.
4.5 Amazing MrLee123 | 09/09/2009 | See all MrLee123's reviews (33) Ok, my second set of earphones broke and i decided to buy some off play.com and i thought that these were just another normal set of earphones but wow was i in for a suprise. The sound quality is brilliant and theyre very comfy best set of earphones ive ever had.
4.5 Pants!! RockstarDave | 06/07/2009 | See all RockstarDave's reviews (3) Bought these 3 weeks ago, have to say that the sound quality is fine but they wernt a snug fit so the this is pointless! Waste of money
4.5 great value ironmoney666 | 01/07/2009 | See all ironmoney666's reviews (1) Just received my head phones through the post and was on plugging them in was not disappointed. These are a replacement for my shure e2c's which finally kicked the bucket last month. Sound quality obviously not as clear as the shures but not lacking for the £9.99 price tag, and the bass levels from my ipod touch are good without being too loose like on similarlypriced skull candy headphones...........overall highly recommended, just need to wait and find out durability of cable!!
4.5 Superb Quality ChrisHarris | 19/06/2009 | See all ChrisHarris's reviews (1) I brought these as replacements for the MDR-EX82 headphones that came with my Sony Walkman. As normal those ones broke at the wire on the jack rendering them useless. These are probably better than those headphones at a fraction of the price!At the current time these are £10, and a great deal for anyone!Being in-ear they can block out a large amount of outside noises and are capable of loud volumes and LOTS of bass!The sound is very clear, no crackles and the headphones themself are incredibly light, and most imporatantly very comfortable.They come packed with an extra 2 sizes of the ear buds so you can choose from Small medium and large sizes(the standard fitted medium ones are usally just fine), and alos the adjustable cord adjuster is very easy to attach and doesnt get in the way. I found that the headphones lead was about 20cm too long and the split wires for each headphone was a bit to long also so I used the cord adjuster above the split headphone terminal (or whatever its called) and wraped it round once or twice.Being the third set of sony headphones I've owned (Previosly the MDR-EX82 and i think EX75 before) I can definatly pick out the one worst desing flaw in them. They seem to break at the headphone jack, as Ive already said, within 4-6 months of owning them, and unfortatly sony wont let me get replacements for them as they seem to have the worst customer service support in the history of mankind (literally). Even if you take care of them with the upmost care they will eventlly break and this is becuase of where the headphones go into your media player, it bends back and forward in your pocket, slowly wearing the wire down. What I have done is wrap wire tape around where the wire comes out of the jack to prevent it from moving too much and hopefully they will last.Anyway! Overall they are a great pair of headphones and probably provide as much quality as you would get from a set of expensive in ear headphones.If your just looking for a cheap pair of headphones that have a good quality, these are the ones!

Estimating Room Impulse Responses from Recorded Balloon Pops
Balloon pops are convenient for probing the acoustics of a space, as they generate relatively uniform radiation patterns and consistent ``N-wave' waveforms. However, the N-wave spectrum contains nulls which impart an undesired comb-filter-like quality when the recorded balloon pop is convolved with audio. Here, a method for converting recorded balloon pops into full audio bandwidth impulse responses is presented. Rather than directly processing the balloon pop recording, an impulse response is synthesized according to the echo density and frequency band energies estimated in running windows over the balloon pop. Informal listening tests show good perceptual agreement between measured room impulse responses using a loudspeaker source and a swept-sine technique, and those derived from recorded balloon pops.

And fellow Twins prospect Miguel Sano is No. 3, so this is a pretty good day in terms of allowing Minnesotans like me to forget about how bad the current Twins are.

For 26 seasons, no one has been depressed to know that there was a baseball player who lived his life according to the numbers, who kept statistics in so many categories that he seemed to be a portrait of a ballplayer painted by the numbers. On the contrary, the calculations of Pete Rose have been central to his charm. Who else remembers ordering room service in 1963, and that it was $12.75?
On the last day of Rose's first season, the great Stan Musial squirted a final pair of singles, one to each side of Cincinnati's rookie second baseman, and retired....

SUD is responsible for upwards of 450,000 people in the United States each year, with North Carolina experiencing an average of 32 SUD-related deaths each day.

If you are looking for a hotel that is close to the center of the city, shopping, restaurants and the MRT, then the Carlton may be an option worth considering.It's right across the street from the Raffles Hotel.
The Carlton consists of two main guest wings. The bedrooms in the newer wing are better - I've stayed in both. I would not go back to the Carlton unless I had a confirmed room in the new wing. It seems to be a "transit" hotel with a lot of guests staying one or two nights only.
The Mosaic Restaurant is inconsistent in terms of food quality and temperature of the buffet. Some mornings/evenings the hot dishes are barely warm. If you are concerned over food hygiene - go to the buffet breakfast early and before the crowd. The hygiene standards of the hotel are good (A Certification), but I've regularly seen guests cutting loafs of bread with their bare hands and carelessly putting severing tongs back so the handles touch the food.
The Gravity Bar is expensive and the live music drowns out any chance of a decent conversation.
Quality of service is mixed. Some staff are very guest focused and spot on with helping and serving you. But I found the majority of managers and service staff just seem the be their to a job, rather than making sure you have a first class experience.
The hotel has a club lounge for higher priced rooms. Their does not seem to be an associated access scheme in place to attract the average repeat customer.
Pool area is okay but again try to use early as the sun loungers fill up fast. Their is a pool bar but it's not manned all the time. You have a call for service.
I've stayed at better hotels in Singapore at a lower cost. Something seems to be missing here - I can't say that I was really valued as a customer which is disappointing.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Expedia, Orbitz, Booking.com, Cheap Tickets, Priceline, Agoda, Asiatravel.com Holdings, Travelocity, Odigeo, EasyToBook and Tingo so you can book your Carlton Hotel Singapore reservations with confidence.

Wedding: 6/2/2012
Dear Jillian & the rest of F.T.T.&E staff:
Thank you SO much for all you guys did to make my wedding run smoothly. Hiring Jillian as a day-of coordinator was the best money I ever spent & it was wonderful having her personality at my wedding. The product was also wonderful - my guests LOVED the tent. I cannot say enough good thing about you guys and have already recommended your services to friends. And Jillian, thank you so much for the photo album. Cannot wait to fill it with pics from the wedding. Will also be saving the DARLING gift box it came in.
With much gratitude,
Morgan & Kyle
Wedding Date: June 2, 2012
Wedding: 8/10/2011
I was clueless when I first called this company to discuss the idea of a tent wedding. I decided to go with their signature 'fairy tale' peaked frame tent and it was beyond beautiful! I ordered everything else from them; tables, chairs, lighting, dance floor, linens, bars, portable restroom trailer.. everything was delivered and setup two days in advance and was all in like-new condition! I was even able to hire a coordinator for the day of my wedding who took care of EVERYTHING. They truly are full-service event planners without the huge price tag.
Wedding: 9/18/2010
The price was right!! And Julie and Jake were so nice to deal with! They answered all 457543 of my questions and were very helpful! And the tent was great quality! Everything looked so pretty with the lighting and the chairs were very nice! The guys were out there to set up when they said they would be and they took it down when they said they would. We were short a few sides and they were out first thing in the morning to drop us off the rest off the sides. We had stuff still in the tent and the crew was very respectful to the stuff. The only bad things I could say was the dance floor was a little beat up and they used very high wattage bulbs so we had to get an extra generator. But other than that great company!
Wedding: 7/18/2014
I wasn't present when they delivered the chairs and arch to my wedding ceremony site, as I was getting ready myself. But I was very happy with how professional they were when I talked with them on the phone to schedule everything, and the price was right on par with my budget! Thank you so much!

Public History
The Stevenson Public History Program: Where Students Make History.
If you love history and want to make a difference, Stevenson's Public History major is designed to help you achieve your goal. Through our skills-based courses and experiential learning opportunities you will acquire the very specialized knowledge necessary to joining the practice of public history. Stevenson's Public History program engages its majors in history projects that serve the community as well as local, state, and federal agencies. Most recently, Stevenson students have assisted government agencies and been commended for their contributions to history by George Washington's Mount Vernon, the Maryland State Archives, the City of Baltimore, the Maryland National Guard, and the Maryland Military Historical Society.
Bachelor of Arts or Science
One of the nation's few four-year undergraduate majors in the field, Stevenson's Public History major provides students a firm foundation in American history combined with the opportunity to study and practice the public presentation of history. Through specialized coursework, volunteer opportunities, and internships our majors learn how to engage as practitioners with the community of public history.
As a student of public history at SU, you will learn to analyze, interpret, and evaluate historical evidence; to apply historical perspective to contemporary issues; and to honor historical interpretation from those of diverse cultural traditions and values, all with the goal of conveying historical understanding to members of the general public.
What Will Your Learn?
Comprehend historical periods, persons, events, ideas, and themes with a special focus on United States history, as well as the concepts of historical causation, conflict, and change over time underlying all historical study.
Master fundamental historical research using both library and Internet resources: locating, reading, interpreting, evaluating, verifying, and documenting primary and secondary sources.
Master critical thinking about history: drawing conclusions from readings, applying knowledge to new situations, analyzing and synthesizing secondary and primary sources, evaluating opposing arguments, and understanding how historical interpretations fit into the larger context of historical inquiry.
Evaluate the historical significance of race and ethnicity, class, gender and sex, and religion, especially in the development of the United States.
Communicate historical knowledge and interpretations to a variety of general public audiences.
Analyze and synthesize practical and ethical issues related to communicating history to a variety of general public audiences.
Understand career paths related to public history and effectively search for relevant employment opportunities.
A complete listing of learning outcomes for the Public History program can be found in our Academic Catalog.
Learning OutcomesWhy Study Public History?
Within the United States there are more than 15,000 public history venues chartered as museums, archives, historical societies, battlefields, and other institutions at which people enjoy themselves as they learn about their past. The need for individuals to operate these venues is great and it is for that purpose that Stevenson has designed its Public History Program.
As a Public History major, you will learn about the past and how to communicate that past to a public audience. You will develop an understanding of U.S. history that will allow you to place into context any event of the last 400 years. You will develop the skills of research and analysis required to think deeply and critically about factually based arguments. You will develop the ability to write clearly and speak publicly about the subjects you research as a way of educating the general public.
Finally, you will learn how to assess the success of your efforts and how to use those assessments in improving your craft. As part of Stevenson's commitment to your undergraduate liberal arts education, your core courses will be supplemented by additional courses made possible through Stevenson's general education program.

Our focus now turns to the potential of record lows tonight. Many areas may wake up to thermometer readings below zero.
Georgetown Police say they're increasing patrols to put the brakes on speeders.
The crackdown comes after many complaints from the public.
Kathleen Hackworth owns a salon on Broadway. She says whenever she or one of her customers glance out the window, she can see someone speeding by.
"They usually say gosh, they sure are going fast," Hackworth said.
It's not only speed that worries her. The area can be heavily congested. With schools nearby, children are often put in harms way.
Police hope a stronger presence will convince drivers to slow down. However, that means more manpower and more money in overtime costs.
Despite some of the financial obstacles, Georgetown Police are moving forward with a new traffic enforcement unit.
The department is in the process of applying for a $55,000 federal grant, which would go toward the unit.
Georgetown Police say traffic fines usually fall between $140-$160. Anyone driving more than 25 miles per hour over the speed limit could wind up in jail.

Listed holdings where we are lead owner and operating subsidiaries. Long ownerhip horizon and value creation from dividends, value appreciation and cash flow.
Investments in EQT funds, IGC and unlisted partner-owned companies. Financial Investments should generate dividends and net exit proceeds.
Founded by the Wallenberg family a hundred years ago, Investor is the leading owner of high quality Nordic-based international companies. Through board participation, our industrial experience, network and financial strength, we strive to make our companies best-in-class.
Our objective is to build the net asset value, operate efficiently and pay out a steadily rising dividend. Over time, this should allow us to generate an attractive total return to our shareholders.
We have a long-term perspective for all investments. We always act in the best interest of our portfolio companies by fully supporting them in their efforts to create sustainable value.
We own significant interests in high-quality companies. Through the Boards we work for continuous improvements in the companies. Our cash flow allows us to support strategic initiatives in our companies, capture investment opportunities and provide our shareholders with a dividend.
We have a strong financial position and thus high flexibility. We have long duration on our debt, limited near term refinancing needs, and readily available cash resources.
The Boards are at the center of our governance model and should always act in the best interest of the company and all shareholders. It is critical to have Boards with relevant expertise, integrity, business judgement and passion for business.
Investor's Board of Directors has appointed Johan Forssell as new President and CEO as of May 12, 2015. In line with this, Investor now takes another step to evolve its model. To clarify the ownership in the listed investments and add additional wholly-owned subsidiaries, a new division will be established. Investor's organization will thereby consist of two clear divisions – one focusing on active ownership in listed core investments and one focusing on the development and expansion of the portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries.
To the press release
Net asset value amounted to SEK 260,963 m. (SEK 343 per share) on December 31, 2014, an increase of SEK 14,162 m. (SEK 19 per share) during the quarter, corresponding to a change of 6 percent. The Board of Directors proposes a dividend per share of SEK 9.00 (8.00). On January 28, 2015, the Board of Directors announced the appointment of Johan Forssell as new President and CEO of Investor as of May 12, 2015. Johan Forssell succeeds Börje Ekholm who is leaving his position after almost ten years. On January 28, 2015, Investor announced the creation of a new division, Patrica Industries, that will develop and expand its portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries. Börje Ekholm will be responsible for Patricia Industries.
To the report To the webcast To the presentation
Our vision is to be recognized as a premier investor, supporting the development of our portfolio companies to become best-in-class.

Hau Ruck
$8.90 | Digital buy MP3 albumAlso available · CD $12.98
KMFDM have been blending and bending musical genres in the underground scene for more than 21 years. While Sascha K. claims (tongue firmly in cheek) to be ''the Father of Industrial Rock'', KMFDM have in truth crossed over to rock, metal and dance fans alike. They have returned to Metropolis Records to release their newest album ''HauRuck''. As for the singing on this album, Lucia unleases a spectrum of vocal styles and Sascha K spews his own trademark, ''bad-ass'' attitude. Lyrically thought provoking, yet humorously ironic, KMFDM skewer the world and themselves with each stab. Throwing out all misconceptions of the band and the genres they are associated with, this is the most powerful and innovative album that KMFDM has ever created. KMFDM produced and mixed the album themselves and were even involved in the mastering process guaranteeing a sonic redefining of their signature sound. From the spoken introduction of the album to the closing track, KMFDM show exactly what some hard work can accomplish. On Metropolis.
