NEW PRICE! Clean California Riv with minor upgrades to give it an awesome look. Factory A/C, great color combination, and recent paint. These cars will not be getting cheaper!
Hailing from California, this super straight Riv wears that steely blue paint extremely well, with ripple-free bodywork, good gaps, and crisp character lines that make the most of Bill Mitchell's greatest effort. Finish quality is very good, certainly in line with the very reasonable price tag, and as far as we can tell, that's all original sheetmetal on the car. The doors open and close easily without a big slam and gaps are good all around. The chrome is probably original, and in very good condition, but there are a few light signs of age and the dime-sized plastic Riviera emblem on the nose is pretty deteriorated, but otherwise it presents quite well.
I'm inclined to believe that most of the code 787 black cloth and vinyl interior is original and holding up rather well. The funky brocade cloth inserts are pure 1960s cool and aside from the passenger's front seat back, which is a slightly different color (a little more gray) it appears to be factory-original stuff. It shows some minor signs of use and age, but the preservation is quite impressive overall. You'll note that this car has factory A/C which has been recently serviced and filled with R134a refrigerant so it'll be easy to recharge should it be necessary in the future. The original AM/FM radio still lives up high in the dash and the ventilation controls are neat aircraft-type sliders under the dash hood. Demerits include a thumb-sized hole in the headliner above the passenger front window and a rather cheesy homemade shift quadrant indicator in the console that has gotten wet (it actually looks like it was made on an inkjet printer), and, of course, the clock doesn't work. The trunk is upholstered in gray carpet which looks fantastic even if it's not totally correct, and there's a full-sized spare and jack assembly just in case.
This big luxury coupe moves like a muscle car thanks to the robust 401 cubic inch Buick V8. Obviously it's dressed for show, with a chrome air cleaner, finned valve covers and matching valley cover, as well as correct corporate Turquoise paint on the block itself. You can see evidence of both clean California living as well as recent service work in the master cylinder, A/C system, and alternator, and the overall condition is quite impressive. Yes, it has been driven, but a weekend spent really scrubbing the little nooks and crannies would make this a show-worthy engine bay. It also runs superbly, starting with a surprisingly robust bark from the custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system and there are no disappointments on the road where its torque curve is as wide and flat as Death Valley.
The Turbine Drive transmission has been replaced with a more modern TH350 3-speed automatic, which explains the revised shift quadrant and delivers crisp shifts that feel right in the luxurious Riviera. Tallish 3.23 gears in back make it a fantastic highway cruiser that feels like it could run forever without getting tired. Smooth road manners, powerful brakes with upgraded front discs, and a well-sorted suspension give this car the feel of a much more contemporary machine. The 16-inch polished American Racing wheels are a dramatic statement that works really well and wear Goodyear radials that fill the fenders properly.
Early Rivieras are not going to get more affordable and if I had to pick five cars that were going to be worth more in five years than they are today, this car would be on that list. Great colors, smart upgrades, and a killer look all add up to a first-rate hobby car at a price that just can't be beat.

More DC anticsMarch 10,2014There was a time, not that long ago, when Americas political activists identified themselves as primarily either Democrats or Republicans, and while there were always variations in the degrees of their partisanship, they nevertheless represented one broad set of political values or another.
Political scientists attributed the relative stability of American politics to this simple, straightforward separation of the two major parties, so much so that third-party candidates for national office seldom had any chance of success.
Its different today, and for proof just take a look at the recently completed Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. Or study the front page article in Sundays New York Times in which leading establishment Republicans describe their efforts to withstand efforts by their partys more conservative activists to defeat them their fellow Republicans at the polls.
The article reports that, led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, top congressional Republicans are waging a political war against aggressive advocacy groups that are determined to root out moderates and replace them with true believers on the far right end of the American political spectrum.
Democrats, of course, can only be amused by seeing McConnell portrayed as too liberal for the tea party types who are stirring up so much political dust in this election year.
McConnell and his incumbent colleagues are not amused, nor should they be. However, neutral observers might question his expressed optimism.
I think we are going to crush them everywhere, he told a journalist last week. I dont think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.
Had McConnell said that from the podium at the CPAC event, he probably would have been subjected to sneers and boos, even though hes also the GOP leader who once famously declared that in his leadership role his principal agenda was to deny President Obama any success on any issue.
When you look at the direction Washington as a whole is going, when you look at the state of the Republican Party and its decided lack of will to fight, you have to begin looking at the leadership itself, explained Drew Ryun, who runs a right-wing entity called the Madison Project.
Ryuns conservative genes are genuine. His father is Jim Ryun, a former congressman and once-famous athlete (a track star) who is the chairman of the Madison Project and has described McConnell as the essence of the problem in D.C.
Others in the Republican Party would probably prefer to identify President Obama as the essence of the problem, as they see it, or at least Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who also happens to be McConnells nemesis on a daily basis.
By definition, Republicans are conservatives, but for now there are actually two competing right wings on the American political landscape, and the way theyre fighting it seems unlikely theyll find a path to synchronization, to a common goal of winning enough seats on Capitol Hill to actually decide Americas political future.
The far rights supporters include the anti-tax Club for Growth, the Senate Conservatives Fund, the previously mentioned Madison Project and a group called FreedomWorks.
Whats interesting are those public figures speaking on this new rights behalf: former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, billionaire self-promoter Donald Trump, outspoken Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and several ambitious senators, including Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida and Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
For various reasons, President Obama and the Democrats are going through a rough patch right now. The behavior on the right must give them comfort.MORE IN CommentaryThis last week saw the departure of Bob Schieffer from the anchor desk of the CBS show Face The...

Glenn Beck Announces Yom Kippur Fast
His is for the Republic, not for redemption.
We were busy last Saturday, and so we failed to notice that Fox News host Glenn Beck chose Rosh Hashanah to declare his latest initiative: a day of Fast and Prayer for the Republic. When, exactly, will this new fast day fall? Conveniently enough for us, on Yom Kippur! In a Twitter post, Beck exhorted his 132,735 followers to "spread the word. Let us walk in the founders steps."
Luckily, National Jewish Democratic Council spokesman Aaron Keyak spent some time considering Beck's proposal in his Huffington Post column, and offers three possibilities: that Beck was trying to co-opt the Jews, that Beck was trying to co-opt all of Yom Kippur, or, more plausibly, that Beck just didn't really notice. "Maybe Beck will be surprised when his Jewish staff doesn't show up on Monday," Keyak wrote. "I bet he will be surprised when they take the Fast and Prayer Day for the Republic that seriously."
But here's a question Keyak didn't consider: when Beck invoked "the founders," was he talking about George Washington and his friends or Abraham and his sons? Because as far as we know, George Washington and Ben Franklin were neither Jews nor given to observing Yom Kippur, and, you know, there wasn't any Republic to fast for way back 5770 years ago. Mysteries upon mysteries! Anyway, we'll keep you posted on how the fast parties shape up.

Ascentia Wine Estates, a Healdsburg company established in 2008 with ambitions to restore local ownership to some of Sonoma County's most prominent wineries, is being sold off in pieces.
Employees at Geyser Peak Winery, Ascentia's flagship property in Sonoma County, on Thursday said managers informed staff the Geyserville winery is being sold to an Australian-based wine group. The buyer, Accolade Wines, could finalize the acquisition today, several employees said.
"We're being told tomorrow or Monday, that's all they've really told us," Jon Meola, a hospitality representative at Geyser Peak, said Thursday afternoon.
Jim DeBonis, CEO of Ascentia, declined to comment Thursday, citing confidentiality agreements. DeBonis said he was drafting a statement that would be released today or Monday.
Meanwhile, the Healdsburg company is reportedly selling its two Washington wineries to E&J Gallo. Wine Industry Insight, an online publication based in Sonoma, reported that employees at Columbia Winery and Covey Run were notified Thursday in emails from Ascentia management that both wineries would be sold to Gallo today.
DeBonis declined to confirm that emails had been sent to employees. John Segale, a spokesman for Gallo, said there hasn't been any announcement.
Rumors about the dismantling of Ascentia Wine Estates have been swirling for weeks. Its lead investor, GESD Capital Partners, declined to comment two weeks ago when asked about Ascentia's plans to sell off its wineries, and the San Francisco company did not return a phone call on Thursday.
Ascentia had heavy debt that dates back to its formation in 2008, when a team of veteran wine executives led by DeBonis essentially borrowed $209 million to purchase a cluster of wineries in California, Washington and Idaho from Constellation Brands.
Into the fold came Geyser Peak; Buena Vista Carneros in the Sonoma Valley, the oldest winery in California; and Gary Farrell Vineyards & Winery in Healdsburg, a producer of high-end Russian River pinot noir and chardonnay.
The deal also included Columbia Winery, in Woodinville, Wash; Covey Run, in Sunnyside, Wash.; Ste. Chapelle winery in southwest Idaho; Atlas Peak, a high-end Napa wine brand, but not the vineyards or winery by the same name; and XYZin, a zinfandel brand produced at Geyser Peak.

US ISP McColo has been cut from the internet after it was thought to have aided cybercriminals in online scams and hosting child pornography.
Joe Stewart, director of malware research for SecureWorks, said after McColo's access had been cut he'd received only one spam message from the Rustock botnet, while on a normal day he might get up to 20.
McColo's demise is going "to be kind of a vindication for a lot of researchers that have been complaining about McColo for years and why law enforcement wasn't doing anything about it," Stewart said.
SecureWorks has tracked bad activity at McColo, but law enforcement has always been "tight-lipped" about investigations, he said.
But it may only be mere days before those who use hosting services from McColo find other bulletproof hosters. "There's all kinds of wanna-be McColos that are on the hacker forums, the spammer forums," Stewart said.
In fact, bad activity at McColo increased after the shutdown in September of Intercage, a California hosting company also known as Atrivo, Cox said. Intercage's upstream providers stopped carrying its traffic following years of complaints that the ISP supported spam and harmful websites.
McColo's increased activity showed spammers just moved from Intercage to there, and will likely move fast, Cox said. Cybercriminals probably have "hot stand-by" websites ready to go with other service providers to stay in business, Cox said.
The Washington Post reported that McColo's servers are located in San Jose, California. The ISP's website lists a postal address in Delaware. Efforts to reach McColo via a New York area number were unsuccessful.

1968, Mexico City: Last, Not Least
Most runners enter the Olympic Marathon with dreams of glory. Of course, only three can win medals. And some poor soul must finish last. In 1968, that was Tanzanian John Stephen Akhwari.
An hour after Ethiopia's Mamo Wolde had claimed the gold medal in 2:20:26, and with only a few thousand athletes, fans, and officials remaining in a darkening Olympic Stadium, a runner came through the tunnel. It was Akhwari. He had fallen heavily at some point, and badly injured his right knee. Medics urged him to quit, but he would not. As Akhwari approached the track, he broke into a halting, painful jog. He received a smattering of applause, and then more, and then, as he continued gamely around the track, a wild crescendo. This was not the Olympic champion, the onlookers seemed to be saying; this was the Olympic spirit incarnate. Akhwari finished in 3:25:27–more than 19 minutes behind the previous runner.
Later, when asked why he refused to drop out, given his severe injuries, Akhwari said, "My country did not send me 11,000 kilometers to start the Olympic Marathon. They sent me here to finish it."
Burning Bright! 40 years after his last-place run, Akhwari took part in the torch run prior to the Beijing Games.
Strange But True
Sure, the Olympic Marathon produces great champions ? but also bizarrely weird moments. Here are nine that still astound us.

Spin the wheel to try and earn as much money as you can. There are 12 sections and 9 of those contain cash amounts and the remaining 3 will bankrupt you and you will lose all of the money that you have earned. Spin the wheel as many times as you can whilst trying to avoid going bankrupt. If you land on one of the three bankrupt sections you will lose all of the money that you have earned.

How long have they actually been sparing. Now, I don't mean alive type sparring scenarios.
I mean actual sparring.
I'm sorry for all the inane questions but, I want to make 100% I have the facts before I comment. I've seen the way they spar at my old school. There is a potential problem with you, not your students.
Before angry man plasma pipes up, it has nothing to do with your personal skill.

Greetings all,
Andre here - I'm the older more balding one...
I appreciate everyone's comments, critiques and observations and look forward to more.
While I've been training with Sensei for almost three years, I'm still a major work in progress. My hands dropped low way too much - especially during the kicks, I wasn't very aggressive overall and my clinch and ground game is in need of serious work.
I've found that in sparring at our dojo, we all try to maintain some amount of control - especially when we wear minimal protective gear and that was certainly the case that day. From time to time we do put on the full kit and really pound on each other but that is more the exception than the rule in my specific case.
As I progress in training and aptitude, I do look forward to going at it more full-contact. In doing so, though, I want to make sure that my training partner and I are pressured at a level that is a challenge but not so much so that one or both of us get's seriously injured. I've had my share of black eyes, pulled muscles and strained ligaments but nothing that kept me out of trainging for much more than a week.
At any rate, thanks again...

No. The credit DOES belong to the man in the arena and I definitely give props to Andre for showing his video on the internet (well his teacher showed it but im assuming he got permission from andre and the other guy)
Nowhere in my sig does it say that because someone is trying that they arent subject to criticism. nobody ever got better without being criticised for what they are doing wrong.
edit- and im not the critic on the sideline anyway. im the other dude in the arena who is telling him his punches suck. mine do too but i can at least offer alternatives which might make them suck less.

Boston Review is a magazine of ideas, independent and nonprofit. We cover lots of groundpolitics, poetry, film, fiction, book reviews, and criticism. But a few premises tie it all together: that democracy depends on public discussion; that sometimes understanding means going deep; that vast inequalities are unjust; that human imagination breaks free from neat political categories; and that powerful images are worth piles of words.Boston Review

Miki Nemeth: Since I've seen the Sony X200 professional video camera where Fujifilm (not Zeiss nor Sony) made a brilliant lens for Sony, I am fully convinced that Fujifilm should make its lenses primarily with m43 and E-mount lenses. Fujifilm's X-mount camera line is a waste of effort. Fuji should do focus onto lenses where it is really great. Fuji X-line is just a nice try vs the giants like Panasonic, Sony, Canon. Both E-mount and m43 are open standards (unlike Canon); how great it would be if I could buy this lens on my Sony cameras.
They are anything but are not open standards, this is a marketing myth.
joe6pack: I think Samsung should make a smartphone out of it. Ditch the folding display and we have the world's first interchangeable lens smartphone. Galaxy NX!
the name "Galaxy NX" is already used for a (large) NX-series camera with Android but not a phone.
Todd3608: I doubt enthusiasts and those who want manual control are really the target for this camera.
I want it for my collection. It can be used as digital 2X teleconverter for NX lenses.
vladimir vanek: OMG, now everyone's going to produce "selfie" cameras to support that ill idea to shoot oneselves. Human vanity must have gone a long way to reach today's levels.
I'd be very pleased if all girls posting selfies on the internet would use this camera instead of 1/4" camera of smartphone.
I see this camera more like a 2X teleconverter for NX lenses...
Its native lenses are anyway little too large to be truly pocketable (9-27 is about the size of Sony's APS-C 16-50 collapsible zoom)
binauralbeats: VGA resolution? Sorry, I know "many reviewers said the EVF is great", but that doesn't change the fact that it is significantly lower resolution. Less is not more. More is more. Personally, I'd like camera makers to spend more on the EVF than the rear screen. In fact, leave off the rear screen and spend it all on the EVF.
@Shamael: GX7 has smaller sensor in larger body, that's why it was easier for them to make faster shutter.
Ed Gill: Sony needs to develop a decent shutter. 1/160 flash synch - really? I'll pass.
what's the difference between 1/160 s and e.g. 1/240 s?
no way focal plane shutters willl catch leaf shutters.
Sure it's nice to have faster flash sync, but 90% users won't need this.
Better AF, more shots per battery -- that's what 98% do need
peevee1: 11 fps with C-AF would be perfect for sports, but Sony APS-C E-mount does not have a single decent sport tele zoom. f/6.3 55-210 and 18-200, nor $1500 FE 70-200/4 need not apply.
If they had decent sport zoom, but not a camera with fast AF, you'd complain the lens is utterly useless because it cannot focus.
They have to start somewhere from.
parkmcgraw: 3 of 3
The camera body offerings today, somewhat analogous to how a fledgling and or pretentious cook, as appose to a skilful chef, creates a "what is that" sort of desert, not being knowable or skillful enough in the arts to produce a basic though very high quality cake or seasoned pie with ice cream.
In closing, please STOP removing basic system hardware functions and or options without first insuring that what is being selected to be the replacement item is superior on most all respects to the predecessor.
Do a job, big or small, do it right or not at all.
Park McGraw
Go buy Nikon DF, or even better, Nikon F4.
Do you seriously think that camera makers should not sell small, high IQ cameras to users who want them just because of someone's else faggotry?
Jogger: someone needs to make an adapter that allows full electronic coupling with Nikon or canon lenses.
Give me adapter that allows full electoric coulping with M43 or NX lenses ! ;-)
30/2 is nice...
ProfHankD: Well that's two excellent E-mount lenses. Pitty I can't afford them ;)
Umm, NEX's 16/2.8 is small and this full-frame Zeiss 15/2.8 is huge
ProfHankD: Well that's two excellent E-mount lenses. Pitty I can't afford them ;)
What for would you use that in E-mount. That would be as large as a SLR lens.
HopeSpringsEternal: Still no support for RAW recording in any Sony compact sensor camera or large sensor camcorder
...as is every contemporary dSLR.
Jakob Dam Knudsen: Everything sounds promising except for a few aspects;
- The CMOS architecture is in itself inferior to the CCD. The reason as to why CMOS are used so widely in dSLRs, is lower power consumption, faster (much faster) readout and the possibility to place anti-blooming gates and dischargers and other stuff more directly on the CMOS pixel rows, than the CCD allows.
- 16,2 MPixels. On a ... what, let's guess 1/2.4" sensor at the largest. Our current compact camera leader in terms of image clarity and low noise, is the Canon S9x and G11/G12 with their 1/1.7" CCD which only performs 10 MPixels. So a smaller sensor and higher resolution WILL result in more noise, backlit sensor or not. I clearly remember how the backlit principle should've revolutionized Sony dSLR noise performance, and yet today, Sony dSLRs are STILL the ones delivering the most noise compared to Canon and Nikon competitors.
I use Sony dSLRs myself, but that doesn't mean I always agree with their choises in terms of tech.
Sony has never released dSLR with backlit sensor. Canon's dSLR are years apart from Sony & Nikon (which uses sensors from Sony)
role_of_72: This 'effect' is funny. :)
The other funny thing is if this was discovered in some other product it'd be a serious engineering mistake. But since it is in the iPhone this is fun and a killer feature.:D Apple has always been good in marketing.
Every focal-plane shutter camera has this 'mistake'. In first Leicas, it took about 1/25 sec for curtain to travel across frame
AshLee52: How about a body where the sensor moved to focus, leaving the lens in a fixed position? With various adapters you could use Leica R, Leica M, and other brand lenses. You would set the f-stop on the lens and focus in "stopped down" mode, but the image would be bright on a electronic viewfinder.
You don't know what you are talking about.
The amount of focusing movement, if done by moving sensor, is independent on a lens design and equals to square of focal distance divided by minimal focus distance.

You would set the f-stop on the lens and focus in "stopped down" mode, but the image would be bright on a electronic viewfinder.
for 50mm focal length, and that's moderate telephoto for NEX, you only need to move sensor by a few millimeters. That's not much.
And having movable sensor doesn't mean lens cannot have a focusing system (in that case, only telephoto lens would have it, and normal and wideangle wouldn't)
digby dart: Don't be surprised to see Fuji associated with Leica system somewhere along the line, Fuji's industrial might would be a fine association for camera sensor and lens manufacturing.
A format between aps-c and full frame makes a lot of sense especially with Fuji's announced plans to take on Nikon for market share, something Leica would be keen to capitalize on.
Fuji has shown Leica what the x1 should have been by producing the x100, that would certainly not have gone unnoticed by Leica. Both parties would bring a lot to the market in a new venture. Time will tell.
What's wrong with having 18mm flange distance?
And E-mount can accomodate FF sensor and lenses.
Kiril Karaatanasov: I thought Leica is the leading brand for mirror less cameras in the last many many years including both film and digital. M-system AFAIK lack mirror.
Oh no, EVIL cameras have mirror too - it's under lamp which illuminates LCD screen...

Corus contribution comes in handy; looking for assets in primary steel making countries
Demand-supply gap to propel steel prices
Corus CEO sees strong momentum in Europe, Asia
MUMBAI: Tata Steel, which became the sixth largest steel producer globally after the acquisition of Anglo-Dutch company Corus last year, has announced a near three-fold rise in its consolidated net profit (including Corus and other Tata Steel group companies) at Rs. 12,321.76 crore for the year ended March 31, 2008, against Rs. 4,165.61 crore reported in the previous year.
The company board has recommended a dividend of 160 per cent for the year. The board has also recommended a dividend of two per cent on cumulative convertible preference shares (CCPS) of Rs. 100 each payable on a pro-rata basis from the date of allotment of CCPS, that is, January 18 to March 31.
The company's consolidated income jumped to Rs. 1,32,110.09 crore in 2007-08 from Rs. 25,650.45 crore in the previous year. On a standalone basis, the net profit and income for the year was up 11 per cent each at Rs. 4,687.03 crore (Rs. 4,222.15 crore) and at Rs. 20,028.28 crore (Rs. 17,984.76 crore).
Addressing the media here, B. Muthuraman, Managing Director, Tata Steel, said the Tata Steel group vision was to set a global benchmark in value creation and to increase the return on capital invested to 30 per cent by 2012.
The long-term strategy for the company was to build a strong base in India and look for acquisitions in primary steel making countries rich in raw materials. "Our aspiration in due course is to become a 50-million tonne plus steel company." Mr. Muthuraman said the company would continue to focus on high value-added products. "Our bearings and tubular divisions are working on products for the Tata Nano."
Philippe Varin, CEO, Corus, said steel was seeing a strong momentum in Europe, the U.S. and Asia in the current year. "As for raw materials, scarcity and tightness remains.
Mr. Muthuraman said India imported around six million tonnes of steel for consumption last year and this year imports could be 8-9 million tonnes, "as there is no significant capacity addition." Even if the economy grows more sluggish than expected, there will be a demand-supply gap and this would propel prices.

|Perez stays with Mariners for $1.5 million
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 05 November 2012 10:39
Seattle and Perez agreed Saturday to a $1.5 million, one-year contract. He was 1-3 with a 2.12 ERA in 33 games last season and had a stretch of 20 consecutive appearances in July and August where he did not allow a run. That streak was tied for the fourth longest in franchise history.
Perez started the season at Triple-A Tacoma and was brought up on June 16. He was strong against left-handed hitters but was even better against right-handers, who hit .204 against him.
Perez can make an additional $600,000 in performance bonuses next year: $100,000 each for 40, 45. 50, 55, 60 and 65 games.
In 2011 Perez was released in spring training by the Mets, who owed him the final $12 million of a $36 million, three-year contract. His deal with Seattle this year was worth $90,000 in the minors and $750,000 in the majors.

Use the ABCD Learning Objectives Model to write an effective learning objective.
Have you ever been asked to teach a class, or develop a training program?
If so, how do you know where to start? How should you structure your class? How can you make sure that your training program is suitable for your audience? And, how do you ensure that your students finish with the right knowledge and skills?
This is where the ABCD Learning Objectives Model is useful. This model outlines four things that you need to think about to create a thorough and complete learning objective; and this learning objective lays the foundations of a successful training session or learning experience.
Robert Heinich, along with his colleagues Michael Molenda, James D. Russell, and Sharon E. Smaldino, developed the ABCD Learning Objectives Model and published it in their 2001 textbook, "Instructional Technology and Media for Learning."
It outlines four elements that help you ensure that instruction has both a clear objective and a clearly defined desired outcome.
The four elements are:

Little Girl Ironing Playing House Circa 1945 (Vintage 8mm Home Movie Footage). Ironing is the use of a heated tool (an iron) to remove wrinkles from fabric. The heating is commonly done to a temperature of 180-220 °Celsius, depending on the fabric. Ironing works by loosening the bonds between the long-chain polymer molecules in the fibers of the material. While the molecules are hot, the fibers are straightened by the weight of the iron, and they hold their new shape as they cool. Some fabrics, such as cotton, require the addition of water to loosen the intermolecular bonds. Many modern fabrics (developed in or after the mid-twentieth century) are advertised as needing little or no ironing. Permanent press clothing was developed to reduce the ironing necessary by combining wrinkle-resistant polyester with cotton.

Amazing Place in Paradise!
Unbelievable views
Nancy was the best hostess you could possibly have. She was only a phone call away and went out of her way to make reservations, answer questions, and do anything she could for you. We would definitely like to return to this beautiful place.
Mountain paradise!
It was heavenly to wake to the sound of birds. My husband and I would take our breakfast to the little lookout tower and take pictures of parrots and hummingbirds. One misty morning, my sister-in-law woke to 5 or 6 toucans eating berries in a tree on the hill outside her bedroom. My favorite place was the hammock on the porch. I rested in it for hours while my group went on a canopy tour zip line and hike.
The house is like a beautiful cabin with more windows and glass doors than walls, comfortable furniture and an amazing kitchen. My husband and brother-in-law were especially impressed with the beautiful wood all over the place. The bathrooms are rather basic, with just a simple shower, but even it had a window you could open while you showered to watch for birds.
*A word of caution for those who are not really into the outdoors...It almost felt like we were camping because nature was everywhere. (You can't be too afraid of bugs here. Not that we were overrun with them, but you can count on seeing some in the house. None of them bothered us or seemed dangerous, but don't leave food out, or the ants will find it.) There was no phone (I don't know if cell phones would work, because we didn't have any), and internet was spotty, but we would head down the mountain a little ways to the lodge if we needed anything. Nancy was always available in person or on the phone to answer questions or help with reservations. Believe me, though, this is the most luxurious "camping" you will ever do. :)
I can't say enough about the beauty of this place. The grounds were landscaped with hydrangeas in stone planters and little palms around the pool (which we never used because it was rainy or cool the whole time...but we sat in the hot tub down at the lodge, and it was lovely). Believe me, the pictures don't do this place justice.
Oh, and I have to recommend Rancho Margo for dinner. It is incredible, and not just because of the food (which was good, but not the best part). We drove there in the dark...it is only a few minutes from the cabin. There were fireflies sparkling everywhere! I was going to go into detail about the restaurant, but words can't really describe it. It was an adventure worth experiencing.
I absolutely recommend staying at Pie in the Sky!
Even better than the pictures
As beautiful as the photos are, it's even better in person! The entire property is beautifully landscaped, very clean, comfortable beds, and the view - the VIEW! My husband (who typically is not an early riser) got up at 5:30 a.m. one morning just to sit on the yoga deck and watch the wildlife - the wakeup shouting of the howler monkeys was unreal!
My favorite afternoon - the kids took advantage of the pool, and we adults just sat on the covered deck and watched thunderstorms roll in, one after another, across the volcano and the lake. There were numerous rainbows that came in behind each storm. The landscape changed every 10 minutes! It was truly breathtaking.
We also had a phenomenal time swimming in the thermal river in nearby Fortuna (Nancy pointed us in the right direction) and hiking on the property - there's a jungle trail just beyond the house.
Nancy was such a gracious host and was extremely helpful in recommending restaurants, etc.
One recommendation: it would be very helpful if guests could utilize the washer/dryer that are next to the pool, however.
Overall, we loved our time here!
Gorgeous Views, Well Eqiuped House
The driveway to the house is steep. There was one day when our van driver could not make it up and we had to meet him at the bottom of the driveway. The road from La Fortuna to the property is long and unpaved, so just be prepared to add this commute time to your daily touring. That being said, it is lovely to start and end your day on this lovely property. One day we just stayed at the house and did the rainforest walk which can be reached from the property.
Nancy was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I knew when I booked with her, just by her manner, that our reservation was solid, that her property would be in great shape, and that she ran a professional operation. She even lent us a portable crib that her grandchildren use when they visit. Her staff came quickly when we had questions or needed assistance. My only suggestion is that they add more lighting inside the house. It was a bit dark for my taste.
Enjoy this comfortable property.
Activity and Interests
Almost all activities that one would come to this area for are located in our village...Horseback to the waterfall, Ziplining, hanging bridges, rapelling, kayaking, hiking the Volcano, Serpentarium, Butterfly Conservatory, Rancho Margot, white water rafting, etc.

Shareholders of Agilent Technologies (A) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 0.9% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2016 covered call at the $75 strike and collect the premium based on the $3.90 bid, which annualizes to an additional 3.2% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 4.1% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $75 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but A shares would have to climb 24% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 30.4% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
Top YieldBoost Calls of Stocks Analysts Like »
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Agilent Technologies, Inc., looking at the dividend history chart for A below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 0.9% annualized dividend yield.
Below is a chart showing A's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $75 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the January 2016 covered call at the $75 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $75. ( Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Agilent Technologies, Inc. (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $60.14) to be 22%.

This story is about a dead girl, a dead dog, a dead mom, and lots
of dead mailboxes, so if you don't like dead things, stop reading right
For as long as I can remember, my mother has bought a new jigsaw
puzzle every few months. She says it helps our family work together
on at least one thing. The newest was a picture of a waterfall,
nice and peaceful, unlike our lives the past few weeks.
When you first start a puzzle, it's hard to imagine getting finished.
But piece by piece it comes together, kind of like life. Well,
some people's lives. I don't know if our lives will ever fit together. I
can't imagine what the picture would look like in the end.
But with all the dead things in this story, I think you'll be surprised
how much life came from it.

Daisy Kenyon (1947) is a 20th Century Fox Film Noir feature film starring Joan Crawford, Henry Fonda, and Dana Andrews in a story about a post-World War II romantic triangle. The screenplay by David Hertz was based upon a 1945 novel by Elizabeth Janeway. The film was directed and produced by Otto Preminger. Daisy Kenyon has been released to DVD. The movie features cameo appearances by Walter Winchell, Leonard Lyons, John Garfield and Damon Runyon.
Daisy Kenyon (Joan Crawford) is a Manhattan commercial artist having an affair with an arrogant and overbearing but successful lawyer named Dan O'Mara (Dana Andrews), who is married and has two children. He breaks a date with Daisy one night and she goes out with a widowed war veteran named Peter Lapham (Henry Fonda).
O'Mara and his wife Lucille (Ruth Warrick) fight constantly: about his job, the upbringing of their two daughters, about his cheating. That same night, Dan turns up at New York's Stork Club with his wife and older daughter where Daisy and Peter are waiting to be seated. Daisy and Peter leave immediately. At the end of the date, Peter announces that he loves Daisy, and then leaves. Peter stands her up for their next date, but later he comes by unannounced and proposes to Daisy. She realizes that he is still in love with his late wife.
After a brief and hesitant courtship Daisy marries Peter, although she is still in love with Dan. Daisy supports Peter's post-war career. Peter is moody, sometimes quiet and withholding, sometimes wildly exuberant. Peter knows that Dan used to be in Daisy's life. Daisy feels like she's gotten over Dan. Dan's wife, finally fed up with his cheating, wants a divorce, using full custody of the children as leverage to hurt Dan.
Dan asks Peter and Daisy to allow him to reveal the full details of his former relationship with Daisy during the divorce proceedings. Peter states that he won't stand in Daisy's way, that when they first met he needed her, but that he doesn't anymore. He leaves. The trial begins, but Dan can see how much it's hurting Daisy, so he stops the proceedings. He asks Peter to sign divorce papers, even though Daisy did not request them.
Daisy goes away to think. She gets into a car accident. Dan and Peter are waiting for her at the cottage. She asks Dan to leave. Daisy realizes she no longer loves Dan and remains with Peter.

T. M. P. in the New York Times noted, "Miss Crawford is, of course, an old hand at being an emotionally confused and frustrated woman, and she plays the role with easy competence." Otis L. Guernsey, Jr. in the New York Herald Tribune commented, "Preminger accomplishes no mean feat in guiding these people in and out among the interweavings of their own complexes, and he does wonders in varying the action of similar scenes."[1]

text: I consider the inventors of Diafine to be the experts on two bath developers. Baumann was the company that did the research and popularized this development method. They recommend 5s of gentle agitation initially and then 5s every minute. They warn that too vigorous agitation will result in loss of shadow detail. Two bath developers are all variations on a theme and they are more similar than they are different. Development is a diffusion controlled process and too much agitation will only cause problems.

REA-based Enterprise Business Domain Ontology Construction
Date Added: May 2010
Format: PDF
Business domain ontology construction is of great significance to improving business modeling and knowledge management. Based on REA business process modeling method and integrated with enterprise strategy information, the paper proposes a REA-based two-layer enterprise business information architecture. And then the business domain ontology infrastructure is constructed in OWL DL language. To demonstrate and implement the method and architecture, an example of tobacco trading company is taken. The proposed architecture abstracts enterprise business information from strategic and operational level, covering the main business elements of enterprise operation.

2015 Ducati Scrambler Photo Gallery
Ducati reveals its new Scrambler at Intermot, a retro-themed bike powered by the Italian marque's air-cooled Twin and sporting an $8495 MSRP.
See photos of the Ducati Scrambler in the 2015 Ducati Scrambler photo gallery, including the original teaser pics from Ducati's claimed debut of the prototype Scrambler as well as the 2015 Ducati Scrambler production model. Read more in the
2015 Ducati Scrambler First Look
Ducati has officially teased its forthcoming Scrambler model, revealing the prototype to its Bologna employees.
Screen grab from Ducati's promotional video of the new Scrambler.
The Scrambler prototype appears to have a flack-tracker vibe.
The Ducati Scrambler prototype will take its styling cues from the '60s and '70s era Scramblers, including the distinctive fuel tanks - provided this screen grab is the prototype and not a vintage Scrambler...
Is this the Ducati Scrambler, or (more likely) a shot of the original from which it is based...
Possible design sketch of the forthcoming Ducati Scrambler, which the Italian marque claims is slated for release in early 2015.
The Scrambler will presumably be powered by an air-cooled Twin.
The new Ducati Scrambler, apparently hidden in a big yellow shipping container.
Ducati with yet another teaser shot, before the production Scrambler is finally revealed at the Intermot Bike Show in Cologne.
Obvious contemporary design elements on the Ducati Scrambler include the LED lights and LCD instrumentation.
The Ducati Scrambler's steel teardrop tank pays homage to its original ancestor.
The Ducati Scrambler runs semi-knobbie Pirelli MT 60 RS tires, with an 18-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear.
Ducati's signature steel trellis frame construction anchors the Scrambler chassis, with an aluminum swingarm.
Kayaba delivers the suspension, with a non-adjustable 41mm inverted fork and pre-load adjustable rear shock.
The Scrambler features a distinctive long seat, with a ride height listed at 31.1 inches (an accessory low seat option dropping this to 30.3 inches).
The Scrambler sources the 803cc (88mm bore x 66mm stroke) two-valve air-cooled Twin utilized by the Monster 796. However, engineers detuned the Desmodue Twin for the Scrambler, which claims 75 horsepower (8250 rpm) and 50 lb-ft torque (5750 rpm).
The base model Icon Scrambler is offered in two colors, yellow ($8595) and red ($8494), with three additional versions available.
The flat-track inspired Full Throttle Ducati Scrambler ($9995) sources a race-inspired seat and panels, shorter mudguard, lowered handlebar and Termignoni exhaust.
The Ducati Scrambler Classic ($9995) sources a vintage seat and wire-spoked wheels.
Urban Enduro ($9995) comes in a "Wild Green" colorway and, as the name implies, features off-road elements like a front fender, fork protectors, wire-spoked wheels, ribbed seat and modest skid plate.

You make a point, but while doing the exploration of a sector. The mission where you have to explore three systems, I was fairly happy with the outcome.
On one it was just scan some rocks, and some references to an episode.
But on other ones while exploring, there was a surprise attack by some other race looking for same thing.
Of coarse the Hud made it not much of a surprise, but there strength and charging factor where surprising. You get used to the easy ground stuff, then when it gets hard it is a bit surprising.
There are lots of elements to interactive story telling, immersion is a big one. When you watch a series for the first time the characters don't mean much to you, they are unknown characters, but after a couple seasons, you develop a feeling of empathy for people in the story, and care what happens to them.
A good MMO can translate that into missions with good story telling. Some of the little things like healing wounded citizens, when it was not in the task menu, was a nice add to another mission. Its the little details that give it an immersion factor.
Also surprises and unexpected things happening are always good, the Hud makes that hard, since it tells you what is going on.
I like the game.
The people saying it is bugged, I don't think have played it, sure it has room to grow, that is a good thing, it is easy to imagine where it can expand. But I have only seen one bug, in hours of play. A few things still need to be polished up or complete I would guess, but the code base seems pretty stable.
I expect the game will expand like other MMOs do, where more story line characters or recurring themes are added. And the depth of variety and surprise increases.
On a final note, some of the people that complain may do it for other reasons, there are people that make up things and are not honest, most of them were the bad guys in Star Trek, and saying the game is buggy I think is disingenuous.
The server issue is the only thing that hurts the launch, if they get that fixed, they should be in good shape.

Miami, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
World No. 1 Rafael Nadal had lost just nine games total entering the Sony Open Tennis quarter-finals, but needed to battle for a victory over Milos Raonic on Thursday night in Miami. The Spaniard prevailed against the 12th-seeded Canadian 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 after two hours and 35 minutes.
Nadal, a three-time Miami finalist, continues his pursuit of a first title at this ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament when he next meets Czech Tomas Berdych, the 2010 runner-up. Berdych defeated Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 7-6(3) to record his 450th tour-level victory.
Nadal boasts a 16-match winning streak against Berdych, and leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head series 17-3.
"For me to be in semi-finals after losing early in Indian Wells is very important for my confidence," said Nadal.
"The difference between quarter-finals and semi-finals is a lot, and tomorrow I have another day to try to keep playing better."

Nadal had not lost a set against Raonic in their previous four FedEx ATP Head2Head clashes, but was unable to maintain the streak. After failing to convert his three break point chances, the Spaniard double-faulted on set point to hand Raonic the early lead - and also leave the Canadian as the lone player yet to drop serve during the tournament.
It would not be for long, though. The World No. 1 came back with a vengeance in the second set, running out to a 4-0 lead. Raonic saved a break point to start the third set, but then lost serve in the seventh game. Nadal limited Raonic to just four points on return in the third set, and closed the match with a love service game.
"I feel like this time around I handled myself much better, especially considering the conditions," said Raonic. "So a lot of things we have been working on I managed to incorporate, and I feel like I'm much further ahead. I dealt with the situation much better than I would have a few weeks ago or few months ago."
Nadal advances to the semi-finals for a sixth time in Miami and for a 52nd time in Masters 1000 action. He finished runner-up at this tournament in 2005 (l. to Federer), '08 (l. to Davydenko) and '11 (l. to Djokovic).
Nadal and Raonic were facing off for the first time since last August in the Coupe Rogers final. Raonic advanced beyond an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final for the first time that week, and afterwards became the first player born in the 1990s to break into the Top 10 of the Emirates ATP Rankings.
