Shaquil Barrett returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown.
Nov. 10, 2012

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Battling snowy conditions at Hughes Stadium on Saturday night, the Colorado State Rams (3-7, 2-4 MW) walked away with a 33-11 victory over the UNLV Rebels (2-9, 2-4 MW).
It was the second consecutive win at Hughes Stadium for the Rams, a feat that hadn't been accomplished by Colorado State since October of 2010 when the Rams knocked off UNLV and New Mexico.
"We came in with the mantra that we determine the outcome," Head Coach Jim McElwain said. "We determine how we are going to play, what kind of effort we are going to play with, what kind of emotion we are going to play with. I thought our guys came out and had a little juice."
While the offense struggled early on in the tough weather, the Rams' defense had no trouble. Junior linebacker Shaquil Barrett got the scoring started for CSU with a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown with 4:30 left in the first quarter. It was the third defensive touchdown of Barrett's career at Colorado State.
Five minutes later, the Rams' defense would score again. On the first play of the second quarter, Calvin Tonga forced a fumble which was recovered by junior defensive back Shaq Bell and returned 30 yards for a touchdown to give CSU a 14-0 lead.
The score marked the fourth defensive touchdown for the Rams on the year, all coming in the last two home games.
Colorado State would extend its lead midway through the second quarter, after Donnell Alexander rushed for his first of two touchdowns. The 10-yard touchdown run capped a two-play, 19-yard drive that was set up by another UNLV fumble.
The Rams defense was relentless all night, forcing four UNLV turnovers which they turned into 21 first-half points.
Just before halftime, sophomore kicker Jared Roberts connected on a career-long 49-yard field goal to give Colorado State a 24-0 lead heading into the break. It was the first time CSU had held its opponent scoreless in the first half since Sept. 10, 2011 when the Rams defeated Northern Colorado, 33-14.
Coming out of intermission, the Rams did not lose a step on defense, forcing three-and-outs on each of the Rebels' first two possessions of the half.
Utilizing the good field position that their defense gave them, the offense featured a strong running game to move down the field. Capping off an eight-play drive, Roberts connected on a 32-yard field goal to give CSU a 27-0 lead with 4:47 left in the third quarter.
UNLV finally got on the board with 13 minutes left in the game, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Nick Sherry to Max Johnson on fourth-and-goal. The Rebels converted on their two-point conversion to close the gap to 27-8.
The Rams would respond right away though, moving the ball 55 yards in 10 plays for a touchdown. The drive was capped by a 14-yard touchdown run from Alexander, his second of the night.
UNLV would add a field goal late in the game, but CSU was able to run out the clock after recovering the onside kick.
Alexander led all Rams with a career-best 139 yards on 21 carries, while Chris Nwoke added 66 yards on 14 carries.
CSU's defense proved to be the story of the night, however. On top of the four turnovers and two defensive scores, the Rams also tallied two sacks on the night. Even more impressively, CSU held UNLV to just 3-of-13 on third-down conversions and just 219 yards of total offense.
"We did a good job getting off of the field," McElwain said. "It gave us a chance for a short field. I am really proud of the way they (the defense) came out and performed in the game."

Salaseini Vosamana
Thursday, October 04, 2012
MACUATA chief Ratu Aisea Katonivere has requested a new legislation on land use and land leases to create an enabling environment for land use development.
In his seven-page submission in Labasa yesterday, Ratu Aisea said agricultural ventures like sugarcane farming was the lifeblood in the north as it had been in the past decades.
He said most cane farmers were second, third or even fourth generation farmers who had tilled the land and supplied cane for the sugar industry and when their leases expired, they were left in limbo as debate took place in the political circles.
"Because the displaced farmers urgently needed sources of livelihood, they opted to relocate to other parts of the country and also ventured into other forms of farming," Ratu Aisea said. "Their departure is a great loss to the northern economy as these are generations of cane farming families who have built our roads, fundraised for the establishment of some schools, erected businesses and provided employment opportunities to name a few. They were the ones who have worked to improve the way of life in their communities."
He requested the legislation that covered land leases be dealt with on a case by case basis whereby records of the community contribution of individual farmers or families were evaluated and acknowledged.
"What better way to acknowledge their hard work than to renew their leases and allow them to do what they do best — cane farming, otherwise large patches of land that used to be productive will be left idle," Ratu Aisea said.

John Koskinen, Commissioner, Internal Revenue Service
Six different investigations into the Exempt Organizations group at the Internal Revenue Service. Commissioner John Koskinen says the end of those investigations will let him concentrate on rebuilding the perception of the agency in the eyes of Congress and citizens. That, in turn, will help boost the morale of the work force at the agency. On In Depth with Francis Rose, Koskinen said some of the investigations will wrap up soon.

DISARM, a multi-agency law enforcement program created by Supervisor Mike Antonovich, had a banner year in 2009. During early-morning raids using officers from a variety of agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department and state Probation officers, nearly 1,200 illegal weapons were seized and more than $27 million in drugs and drug money was taken from felons subject to unannounced searches.
Tony Bell, Antonovich's spokesman, said that the program's simplicity adds to its success. Teams create a list of locations where probationers are allegedly living and start knocking on doors before most of the neighborhood is up. Sometimes they wake a person who is working on turning their life around, but more often, they find violations of the court-ordered probation, narcotics, weapons or drug money.
In the last 11 months (statistics are only available through November), 18,153 unannounced searches were conducted, resulting in the seizure of 1,176 weapons, $27,275,341 in drugs and money and 1,862 arrests.
The acronym stands for Developing Increased Safety though Arms Reduction Management and the program was developed after the shooting at the West Valley Jewish Community Center. Since the shooting was done by a convicted felon who was in illegal possession of two weapons, the Supervisor felt that something could be done to marshal available resources and do some checking on those probationers living in Los Angeles County.
"This is probably the most top, bang-for-your-buck law enforcement program that I have seen," Bell said. "What it does is goes after and confiscates weapons from those who have the highest propensity to use those weapons in the commission of a crime. We're not talking about law-abiding citizens, we're talking about convicted felons, that as a terms of their probation, are subject to unannounced searches.
"Most of these convicted felons never think they will be searched because we don't have the resources to do it. Well, guess what, come 5 o'clock one morning, when they're not ready for it, there will be a knock on the door and probation officers will be there to confiscate their weapons, their drugs, their drug money and making the public safer."
Since its implementation in February of 2000, the DISARM program is responsible for the seizure of more than 6,000 weapons, more than $333 million in illegal drugs and drug money, and resulted in more than 12,300 arrests.

Central Park
The Central park consists of a number of lanes crossing each other.
Nowadays, the impressive territory formerly occupied by the Kostroma Kremlin is part of the city's Central Park bordering on the lovely and pleasantly green in the summertime Tchaikovsky street, which goes up from the river bank to the historical center of Kostroma.
You can watch my high resolution photo of Kostroma on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates57° 45' 48.22" N 40° 55' 40.26" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Central Park.
Wooden houses
A peculiar feature of the old part of Kostroma is the abundance of wooden houses. Their facade decorations and forged balcony railings add very special features to their appearance.
You can watch my 3 min 54 sec HD Video Kostroma part 2 out of my Youtube channel with Kupala - Kostroma.

Stone houses
Of the buildings erected in the XIX century no two were alike, which is an indication of a high standard of town planning in that period. You will see the most interesting houses on the Symanovsky and Tchaykovsky streets.

a green house at the monastery
This lovely, green wooden house with a lot of fine ornaments can be seen opposite of the entrancegate to the Ipatiev Monastery, and you will certainly pass by it on your way to or from the monastery, it is conveniently located directely on the way to the large carparking for tourbuses. And when you dare to run fastly around the corner you will also have enough time to see a really interesting wooden church, see it in my next tip !

the wooden church
Dont miss to take a closer look at this great wooden church that you will find just a few steps "off the beaten path" between the large car-parking for tourbuses and the Ipatiev monastery. It was obviously under reconstruction in summer 2008 and should be finished by now. Unfortunately I was not able to enter that church, but maybe thats possible now as well.

Ilyinskaya Church in Gorodishe
Two XVIIth-century temples, of rather conventional architecture, may be seen on the opposite side of the Volga.
The Ilyinskaya Church in Gorodishe was built in 1683-1685.
It is located on the right bank of the Volga. The ancient settlement Gorodishe belonged to famous old-believer Boyarynya Morozova, who was represented on the well-known painting of Vasily Surikov.
Moscow Gates
The Moscow gate is where the cruise-passangers will enter the town of Kostroma, after beeing arrived on a cruise of the river Volga. This gate was built for Tsar Alexander I, when he was expected to visit Kostroma in 1823. The architect P. Fursov built 2 obelisques with the Tsars eagle on top and as you see they would need some restauration as well.
Obviously Tsar Putin did not intend to arrive that way and therefore nobody thought of restauring this part of the city ;-)

The Joann Zlatoust Church was first mentioned in 1628. The stone church was erected in 1751. The Bell Tower was added in 1791. This church was among a few those weren't closed in the Soviet times. Since 1929 till 1964 it was the Eparchy Cathedral of Kostroma.

Papa Lenin is still showing the right direction
Papa Lenin is still showing the right direction in Kostroma ! "Which direction ?" one of the tourists in my group was asking and the local tourguide said : "Here in Kostroma was say, he is showing the direction to the next pub, what else !"
OK, so lets have a drink there and acknowledge the fact that Papa Lenin was thrown from many monuments in Russia in 1989, BUT the further you go away from Moscow and St. Petersburg you will still find him among his beloved citizens.
Its always great when somebody is able to tell you the best way to the next pub, thanks a lot, Papa Lenin !

lovely wooden houses
You can still see a lot of lovely, old wooden houses in many parts of Kostroma, you simply have to walk also into the sidestreets and places, where the ashpalt-roads will end and go on with potholes and deep mud.
Just a few meters behind the boulevard
All of these wonderful and interesting buildings can be found just a few meters behind the end of the main boulevard of Kostroma.
a nice church between the wooden houses
This is a nice church that I saw between the interesting wooden houses in the outskirts of Kostroma. The gates of the church were closed unfortunately.

In this unit we explore how proteins are the 'doers' of the cell. They are huge in number and variety and diverse in structure and function, serving both the structural building blocks and the functional machinery of the cell. Just about every process in every cell requires specific proteins. The basic principles of protein structure and function which are reviewed in this unit are crucial to understanding how proteins perform their various roles.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- define and use each of the terms printed in bold in the text;
- describe the different levels of protein structure and their interdependence;
- explain how steric limitations determine secondary structure in polypeptides;
- describe, using examples, the relationship between protein structure and function;
- understand the significance of domains in protein function and how they have arisen;
- describe modifications of proteins and explain how these can affect the localisation, function or activity of the protein;
- give examples of how interaction of proteins with other molecules is critical to their function;
- describe experimental approaches to the study of protein–protein interactions;
- explain how site-directed mutagenesis can be used to study protein function;
- interpret and manipulate electronic three-dimensional models;

Proteins are the 'doers' of the cell. They are huge in number and variety and diverse in structure and function, serving as both the structural building blocks and the functional machinery of the cell. Just about every process in every cell requires specific proteins.
Let us begin by listing some of the basic cellular processes and the role that proteins play.
Chemical catalysis Enzymes, which are responsible for catalysing biological reactions, are the largest functional group of proteins. Whilst there are thousands of different enzymes, all catalysing different reactions, they do have some features in common and can often be identified as members of a particular family of enzymes.
Mechanical support Typically, support is provided by proteins, e.g. the cytoskeletal proteins inside the cell and the extracellular matrix proteins outside the cell.
Communication The signals within and between cells (e.g. cytokines) and the apparatus for recognising and interpreting or reacting to signals (receptors and transducers) are mainly proteins.
Adhesion Cell surface proteins mediate contact between cells and between a cell and the extracellular matrix (which is also made up of proteins).
Movement Proteins generate movement in a cell (motor proteins).
Defence Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are proteins that recognise specific targets (usually proteins themselves). This facility is critical for an immune response.
Transport Proteins are key molecules in the transport of substances both within a cell and to and from the cell.
Storage A number of proteins serve to store small molecules or ions; for example, ferritin binds iron and stores it in the liver.
You will come across many examples in this unit of proteins performing the functions outlined above, and the molecular basis for various cellular processes will be examined in some detail. The basic principles of protein structure and function, which are reviewed in this unit, are crucial to understanding how proteins perform their various roles.
The huge diversity in the functions of proteins is reflected in the specialisation of these molecules. As you will see in this unit, every protein optimally performs a particular job and the key to how it does so is its structure. The refinement of protein structure and optimisation of protein function are driven by evolutionary pressures. Mutations at the DNA level that result in a change in protein structure and function will persist if they enhance survival or are not detrimental to the organism.
Proteins come in as many different shapes and sizes (Figure 1) as they have functions. A broad distinction is made between globular proteins and fibrous proteins. Globular proteins are a particularly diverse group that includes enzymes, receptors and transport proteins, and are characterised by a roughly spherical compact shape. Fibrous proteins are elongated and rod-like (e.g. collagen, represented in (Figure 1) and often have a structural role. Most of the proteins discussed in this unit are globular proteins, which reflects both their number and the fact that they lend themselves to structural analysis by X-ray diffraction and NMR.
In this unit, we will consider aspects of the structure of proteins and illustrate how, through their interactions with other cellular components, they can function as dynamic molecular machines. We will begin by exploring the three-dimensional nature of proteins, reviewing some of their biochemistry and the biophysical rules that determine their structure and studying key structural elements that are common to many proteins. You will encounter these activities as you progress through the unit. The relationship between protein structure and function is explored using as examples a variety of different proteins, including enzymes, signalling proteins and transport proteins. All proteins bind other substances, often other proteins or organic molecules or inorganic ions. These interactions are integral to a protein's function and their specificity and affinity are critically determined by the protein's structure. This aspect is discussed at some length. The unit finishes with a consideration of some of the techniques employed in studying protein–protein interactions.

Like the perfectly detailed dollhouse meant to be their home, the tiny anime family that lives under the floor of a vaguely English cottage seems a bit behind the current era of sophisticated animation produced by Disney (responsible for its U.S. release) and Pixar. But if "The Secret World of Arrietty" is an anachronism, it is a very pretty one.
This version of "The Borrowers," Mary Norton's classic 1952 children's book, is the latest feature from Studio Ghibli, the Japanese production company responsible for "Spirited Away" and "Howl's Moving Castle." So the sheer beauty of its settings, from tasteful interiors to colorful gardens, meadows and streams could well be more appealing to adult art-lovers than children accustomed to animated films peopled by rowdy robots and transformers.
The plot, of course, is another story. The daintily drawn—not computer-generated— characters belong to the Clock family—taciturn father Pod (voiced by Will Arnett), generally hysterical mother Homily (Amy Poehler) and feisty 14-year-old Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler), flush with excitement at her first late-night "borrowing" adventure above the floorboards, where Pod will show her how to obtain the items on the day's shopping list—a single lump of sugar and a tissue. For creatures as small as the Clocks, it's like a trip to Costco!
But earlier that day, Arrietty—out for a forbidden visit to the garden—had been spied by Shawn (David Henrie) a human (or 'bean' as the Clocks call us) boy who has just arrived at his aunt's cottage to rest up for a heart operation. The little people, who believe they may well be the last of their kind, live in fear of detection—not to mention predators like the family's cat!
And their fear is well-founded. While Shawn and even his aunt welcome the idea that such creatures might exist, there is one 'bean' intent on destroying them. Haru, the dumpy housekeeper, voiced by Carol Burnett, with a bit too much menace is the nemesis who goes as far as hiring an exterminator to rid the house of the little "pests." Sillier than she is frightening, however, Hara doesn't stand a chance against clever Arrietty in partnership with Shawn, whose role as her gentle protector seems to make him stronger in every frame.
It's a charming tale, told with the innocence of a child's point of view. However, it seems only fair to warn that children over the age of five might not appreciate its old-fashioned sensibility. The English screenplay by Karey Kirkpatrick tends toward the insipid, and for some strange reason, everyone does a lot of sighing (yes, sighing). The director was Studio Ghibli veteran Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
"The Secret World of Arrietty" opened Friday (Feb. 17). It is rated G.

text: GamesBeat Sega closes multiple offices worldwide and focuses on digital June 28, 2012 12:05 PM Omri Petitte 0 In a mark of the further decline for a once-formidable video game company, Sega announced the closure of several global offices, the relinquishment of distribution duties in the affected regions, and a stronger focus on digital content and established franchises. Gamasutra reports Sega's branches in France, Germany, Spain, Australia, and the Netherlands close July 1. Companies Level03 Distribution and Koch Media — Nintendo's U.K. distributor, which is known as Deep Silver (the publisher Deep Silver) in North America — now handles European areas for Sega, and 5 Star Games manages Australia. Sega's U.K. offices stay open and are overseeing the transition. Sega Europe chief operating officer Jurgen Post said the Sonic the Hedgehog, Total War, Football Manager, and Aliens franchises round out the brands Sega will focus on.

The California Supreme Court has unanimously voted to accept review in the matter of Valdez v. W.C.A.B. (Warehouse Demo Services) in order to address the following issue: Does Labor Code § 4616.6 exclude from evidence reports of a treating physician obtained by an applicant outside of his or her employer's Medical Provider Network ? Two en banc decisions by the Worker's Compensation Appeals Board answered this question in the affirmative, but those decisions were overturned by the Court of Appeal. The issue has been a great concern to California employers, many of whom employ such networks to provide reasonable medical care at controllable costs. As a result, 19 amicus letters were filed urging the Supreme Court to reverse the Court of Appeal, representing most of California's counties, cities, and school districts in additional to numerous other public and privates entities, particularly self-insured employers who often rely on MPNs.

I was just talking about how I want to decorate my bedroom first when I move over on haus maus since I've been pulling together interior inspiration in binders and in file folders on my desktop…. You know, all of the beginnings of any decor project! And I was thinking about all of the little details that really MAKE a room. It's so exciting to move and have all of these visions in my mind soon to be realized but it's funny, when I think of decorating I do consider foundation pieces (sofa, flooring, window treatments) important but above those, I consider the little details even more so. The sofa matters (it's the most important piece of furniture in the living room just as the bed is the key piece in the bedroom), but it's what I have around the sofa and on it (a soft throw, some pillows) that I delight in hunting and gathering as I begin a decorating project. I love the details, right down to the fine stitch work on a cushion or the beads carefully sewn around the edges of a curtain. It's all in the details, baby!
While searching for interiors inspiration I came across the home of Ingrid and Vidar from the Fjeldborg blog and fell in love with her space because she is detail-oriented too. I found Ingrid via Jeanette who runs the lovely Fryd+Design blog and well, I fell in love with the sugar sweetness of Ingrid's decor. I have a bit of a different direction in mind for my own space, but there are definitely parts of this home that inspire me. I hope it inspires you today, too.
About her home Ingrid says, "I like both the one and the other: white and shiny, rough and worn, black, pastel, retro, real wood floors, painted panel… I love flea market finds and painting projects, and at times I am good friends with the sewing machine."
Bonus: Like what you see? Jeanette photographed this home for her upcoming second issue of her e-mag so watch this page for that issue to appear around September 1st. I can't wait! I love Jeanette's online magazine soooo much.
I'm on deadline all week with the Decorate book so blog posts will be a bit more tortoise-like and less hare-like, but I'll be doing my best to get up a post or two each day between now and Friday. Bare with me! :)

The movers came! The movers came! They gave us an estimate on our October 1st move and I'm thrilled because it's a little under budget and that is always a good thing. So it's done, we are packing during the month of September and heading around the corner to our new place. I can't wait. Okay that's the understatement of the year. I CAN'T WAIT. That's better. It needed to be all in caps because I'm in an all caps mood today. I feel like screaming from the rooftops, but I'll scream out into blogland instead — I'm moving! I'm moving! Yay, yay, yay! Are you moving soon too? Are you equally thrilled?

It feels so good to know that I'll be living in my big new pad soon with lots of decorating projects to work on, a shiny new office to call my own, and a guest bedroom and guest bath for friends — I feel like my life is starting to come together after living in Germany for a year now and being a bit in limbo. I am not homesick at all, but I am tired of living in our former vacation apartment because it was never meant to be our full-time digs. I furnished it for vacation purposes only, so lots of IKEA and stuff from big box stores, and then flea market finds and things from local shops but still — it's mostly IKEA and though I don't mind a piece or two, I really miss the feeling my former home had because I had accumulated lots of mid century pieces and some pretty Room & Board stuff over time, along with Eames chairs and lots of art and stuff… So my home felt more like home, with feeling and warmth because it took time to pull it all together and lots of searching for the "right" piece. In my next place, I plan to take time to furnish it and slowly sell off the IKEA stuff from this vacation flat and slowly build my life back up again — my home decor life anyway. It took us a little longer than I expected to find the perfect place to move into, but the wait and frustration are over and the time has come to start packin' (insert celebratory gesture, like a fist pump, here) and plannin',and decoratin' and shoppin' (mostly flea markets and eBay)… we're movin' on up people!

If you've followed this blog for some time you'll recall that back in June of 2009, I packed an entire house in New Hampshire, minus the furniture which I sold, to relocate to Germany and my boxes arrived in October 2009 and guess what? Those boxes are still waiting in our basement to be unpacked. I don't even know what is in them anymore, I mean I know my wardrobe is down there, and my art work, and all the things that I love and need — but I badly want to open them and organize my life because I crave to have places to put everything and to have some kind of inventory system. When I need a stamp and envelope, I want to go to my mail drawer. When I need supplies to make cupcakes, I want to refer to my baking cabinet. When I need to find a back issue of Domino magazine, I want to go into my office, open a cabinet, and find them neatly cataloged there. Are you with me on this? It's nice to know where your stuff is!
{images: Les Tissus Colbert, Les Tissus Colbert (what can I say, I love Karin's work!), Emma Lamb and Jutta.}
So yes, very soon my chaotic two room apartment lifestyle with both of us working full-time from home will come to a happy ending. My office is currently in the living room, his is in our bedroom – a real romance killer all around because candlelight dinners have been replaced with my laptop and piles of paperwork! Today is a very good day friends because of those darn movers — the move is on – and I say bring it!

Okay so what is this post really about anyway, besides me, me and more me? Ha! I know, right? Well it's about home and the importance of feeling at home, having a space that supports you and your lifestyle, and being productive at home — which usually involves being organized because the more organized you are, the less time you spend wondering where something is and the more time you spend on using it to create stuff (a shelf, a piece of art, a cake). Do you agree?
In this post, I've rounded up some spaces from the many creative contributors to my Interior Styling group on Flickr (over 2,350 members!) to share some inspiring rooms and nooks with you today. Perhaps these corners will get your wheels turning for the weekend — a new project to try, a cabinet to organize, a flower arrangement to pull together as a centerpiece for your table. No matter what little improvements you make at home, they all add up and serve as real well-being boosts so why not make some time this weekend to give your home a chance to make you a bit happier? I have about 10 minutes to myself this weekend, but I plan to sit down and draw up some floor plans for my new place so I can get a sense of what I have, what I need and just so I can have crazy fun playing around with ideas because isn't it exciting to move and decorate? Weeee!

Any Samantha Pynn fans in the house today? Throw your hands up and say, Oh yeah! I honestly know little about her, she hosts a show on HGTV in Canada called Pure Design, do you watch it? I read somewhere that she is soon to launch her own show in 2011 which may be quite inspirational. I just had a peek at some of her recent interiors and thought you'd be inspired by them so here are a few of my favorites from her online portfolio.
Do you like these rooms? Do you have a favorite? I like the kitchens because that is the one room that I'm thinking of now that I have to design mine and only have between now and mid September to decide and order what I want. We may do IKEA again, I'm not sure… but there is a kitchen designer living near to us that I may tap into for some help since the space does have some challenges and I want to utilize all of the nooks in the best possible way. I am not a kitchen designer by any means, but I do know what I like and I know how I want everything laid out!
I also love the color palette in the living room shown in the second image from the top. A little charcoal, some pink… yet something about that green pillow really gives that palette energy – it's so unexpected, I love that. Yet in nature, this is completely normal to have fresh green with pink, isn't it? Just look at your garden and let it inspire your next room design. Oh and you cannot deny the drama of that stunning over-the-top entryway in the large scale bold black and white pattern. Fantastic! You can really do something like this in an entryway as it's not a room you plan to relax in so you can experiment with an use an energetic pattern in this space of a home, don't you agree?

Katrin is a twentysomething software developer by day who lives in Germany with her boyfriend and four pet rabbits! Yes, four! She authors a blog, Where Your Heart Is, where she writes about her interior transformations using mostly colorful paint, yarn (she crochets) and fabric — her hobbies include decorating and blogging which enable her to tap into her creative side after work and on the weekends.
You could describe her look as handmade living and a little Yvestown, a lot Cath Kidston and Greengate, Scandinavian Country (a big decor trend in Germany currently) and very, very girly and sweet. It may or may not appeal to your style but there is still something important to learn from lovely Katrin…
What I appreciate about Katrin's style is that she buys furniture on eBay and transforms it into the cabinets and chairs that you see in her Flickr stream. Like the red cabinet, or the white one with the blue interior that was originally a depressing brown… or the brown chairs that she painted and they became the white ones in her kitchen with the pretty cushions that she upholstered herself.
Little changes like paint and fabric, can do so much to a piece of furniture — never walk by something you like at a flea market and turn it away because it's the wrong color. If it's the right shape and is made well, paint can give it the exact change needed to make it a cherished part of your home.
P.S. Love the stool!

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thanksgiving in your home last year was a most memorable experience. Your beautiful house with all of the interesting decor and cozy fireplace made for a truly warm homey holiday. The walks to the beach and throughout this quiet community made the rest of the week truly enjoyable and unforgetable. Our experience here just keeps getting better and better. We just love, love your house as well as this enchanting community. Our little chihuahua had the time of her life here and as all of us she will miss being here. We hope to come back soon. In the meantime our memories will entertain us. Thank you for everything.

A PERFECT escape!
Great place for a weekend city escape!
The home is well appointed and has all of the basics that you'll need for a weekend away. We also enjoyed the short walk to the nearby beach and caught the sunrise in the mornings. Overall great location, wonderful host and we hope to be back again!!!

Amazing house in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood
Looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful weekend, we arrived at Pam's house. Even before we entered the place, we already liked it. The quietness of the neighborhood, accompanied by the sound of birds chirping was just what we needed.
Pam took us on a tour in the house and we were amazed to see how well equipped it it. Everything we wanted was there, from kitchen equipment to blankets to snuggle on the sofa, and many other surprises that we just didn't get to. We love to cook and working in Pam's kitchen was such a joy. Also, since the fish market is so close, we were able to devour over Peconic scallops and seafood stuffies (you have to try those!) as well as the complimentary bottle of wine that Pam left for us.
There is so much inside the house to make you feel comfortable that we could have just stayed in all weekend. However, the weather was nice and we were able to also enjoy some time on the deck relaxing with the morning coffee or the afternoon sip of wine. On top of that, just a few minutes away we were able to go down to the private community beach.
Pam - Thank you for a wonderful weekend and such a pleasant experience (our first VRBO!). We would definitely recommend this place to our friends!

@turambar: Well that's surprising since it seems to be the most popular western game in Japan after COD. And Japanese games have been around more than a decade lol. But please go on because alot of those games you mentioned are last gen, so I would genuinely like to know what I have been missing out on this gen.
My comment is on the idea of "good Japanese games this generation." Also, feel free to define what is last gen, what is this gen, and what games gets disqualified as a result from the above list.
For example Persona, I'm guessing your talking about 3 and 4 that came out on the PS2 = Last Gen
So only what system it was released for matters. In that case, P4 easily fits current gen due to being on the Vita and P3 due to being on the PSP.
Then does FFX count as a next gen title because it's on the PSP Vita now? I get what you are saying with P4 though they did add alot of new content.
They added far more content for P3 on the PSP than P4 on the Vita. Also no, one actually has significantly more content, the other is apparently a port and not much more. A better comparison would be the FF3 and FF4 remakes for the DS, and yes, I would consider them current gen games.
I would consider DS and PSP last gen.

I stayed here with a friend for one night in June 2011. The location is fabulous, walking distance to everything in Old Town and the beach. Lovely breakfast, nice staff and great room. Only drawbacks were a shower that changed temp (probably because other guests flushed their toilets) and an over-eager toilet (close the lid before flushing). I'm just sad we didn't schedule more time in Rethymno. I'd stay here again.

Great location between the old town and the sea. Clean, spacious rooms, and cheap. Only drawback the thin walls. Internet in the room is 3 Euros per hour (they don't mention the price in the website), but I guess you are not in town to surf the web. Overall, a great choice.

Asked for a quiet room and got one at the top floor overlooking the pool in the backyard - very satisfactory. Nice breakfast as well.

The main problem of the hotel is the noise ; from our room we could hear every noise from the voices of young drunk girls trying to find their beds at midnight to the elevator machinery,and the cough of the people next room. And in the breakfast room the music was stupidly loud. The hotel is very well located and is comfortable.

Excellent location, good staff, good rate, good rooms, good breakfast. The sound proofing between the rooms (especially between the bathrooms) could be better, but the most penetrating noise came from young ladies talking loudly and late at night on their balcony. Highly recommendable hotel in the most charming town on Crete's north coast.

The hotel is in an excellent area, near the sea and not in the the center of noise. The pool is welcoming. It is easy to walk from the bust station to the hotel, a taxi ride from the bus station is 6 euros. I suggest a room overlooking the pool versus the sea because it is much quieter at night.

Arden Digital Leaders have been taking part in BBC School Report.
It is with great sadness I share with you the news that Derek Smart has passed away. This follows a long spell of illness.
Students in Year 9 will soon be choosing which courses to study in Key Stage 4. This is an exciting and important decision about the subject areas they wish to pursue alongside core learning such as English and Mathematics.
Arden's recent production of 'Little Shop of Horrors' was a phenomenal success - the commitment shown by every student ensured the quality of each performance.
Arden's new Year 7 intake were invited to take part in a project in conjunction with Birmingham Museums. They were asked to produce a response inspired by what they had seen when they visited one of the museums during the summer. The results were amazing!
Arden is delighted to have received a letter from the Rt Hon David Laws MP, the Secretary of State for Schools congratulating Arden on the excellent Key Stage 4 examination results achieved in 2013.

Seth Meyers Is 'Jewish Enough' For the Jews
The comedian explains he's not actually Jewish, everyone just thinks he is
I had a friend in college who everyone thought was Jewish, and for a time, I did too. Then I asked a mutual acquaintance, just to be sure. "He's Jewish, right?" I inquired nonchalantly. Her response: "No, but isn't that so odd?" Seth Meyers, newly minted host of the Late Night show on NBC, is one of those odd people who everyone assumes must be Jewish, but actually isn't. Last night, reflecting on a yarmulke he'd recently received as a gift from a guest, Meyers set the record straight.
"I'm not Jewish," he told the audience. "Not everybody thinks I'm Jewish, but every single Jewish person thinks that I'm Jewish. And it's not their fault because they think that–they come to that conclusion–because of my face and my name and everything about me." This sometimes puts him in an awkward position. "I don't want to say, 'oh oh, I'm not Jewish,' because when you say that, you sound like someone trying to get into a 1950s country club," he said, "and I love the idea of being Jewish."
You can watch the entire monologue–which includes the story of how Meyers came to be accepted by his genuinely Jewish in-laws–below:

Football: City's title push dented by Norwich stalemate
Published on Feb 9, 2014 6:12 AM
NORWICH (AFP) - Manchester City failed to regain pole position in the Premier League after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Norwich on Saturday, Feb 8, 2014.
With Arsenal having been beaten 5-1 at Liverpool earlier in the day, three points would have been enough for Manuel Pellegrini's side to go top.
Instead, City now find themselves in third position as Chelsea - who had beaten them 1-0 in Manchester on Monday - opened up a one-point lead at the top by winning at home to Newcastle.
City began the afternoon by restoring James Milner, Gael Clichy and Stevan Jovetic to the starting line-up and moving Martin Demichelis back into defence.

Hypnotist helps Bochy and staff quit dipping
SAN FRANCISCO Ask Bruce Bochy if he has a dip and San Francisco's skipper offers up a standard response: "I don't do that anymore."
Bullpen catcher Bill Hayes answers the same way. Equipment manager Mike Murphy, too.
They've reached this point because of hypnotherapist AlVera Paxson, who is developing quite the reputation for helping the reigning World Series champion Giants kick some nasty, decades-old habits.
Bochy hasn't touched chewing tobacco since April 14, the night before seeing Paxson during his team's first road trip to Arizona. Hayes has gone without since Jan. 26. It's two years down for Murphy. No carrying around those little tobacco cans for these three any longer.
Bochy had his doubts when Hayes told him in spring training this year that he had stopped dipping at last following one thorough session with Paxson, a medical hypnotherapist.
Hayes succeeded after Paxson already had aided Murphy in stopping. She also worked with Murphy's wife, Carole, to help her quit smoking.
"I'm a believer," said Murphy, who joined the Giants as a bat boy when the franchise moved West in 1958.
"It's been the best $300 I ever spent," Hayes said. "It's weird to see how it works."
Bochy agrees. He already would have spent well more than $300 on dip by this point in the season, he said.
Still, Bochy - a skeptic on these sorts of things - had to see for himself if he could finally kick his nearly 40-year pattern of dipping before and after games and several times during the course of nine innings. He did it in the first, fifth and eighth innings. That had been his routine for years, a go-to stress reliever to deal with the pressures of a 162-game season.
When he left Paxson's office, minus his own $300 investment, Bochy headed straight to Chase Field for a game against the Diamondbacks.
He arrived in the clubhouse and didn't want a dip. The game started and there were no cravings. He has handled the occasional urges ever since.
"It was really strange," Bochy said. "There are so many triggers that you have that make you want to put a dip in. The following day, I did have an urge, not a real strong one. I said, 'OK, I've had my day off, now it's time to put one in.'"
But he didn't do it.
"The next game I did have an urge. The next two to three days I still had an urge, but it just wasn't as strong as other times I've tried to quit," he said. "When I got past the fourth or fifth day, I was over it. I didn't crave it. I didn't want it. I was fine."
Bochy spent 3 1/2 hours in a relaxed, near-sleep state under Paxson's guidance. She talks constantly as she walks around the room. While Hayes had his eyes closed, per Paxson's instructions, he recalled that the strongest direction about quitting came as she spoke instructions and Hayes heard sounds resembling a stack of magazines emphatically being thrown to the ground, one by one.
