I have owned the property since 2005. I turned into vacation rentals in 2009. I work very hard to make sure all of my guests are taken care of. I really enjoy it when my guests are extemely confortable and feel that they have gotten a very fair deal. I look forward to helping make your holiday confortable and stress free. You will enjoy your time at home as much as LA/Hollywood sites. My home is yours... Please read my reviews from my lovely past guests.
Deanna Alexander purchased this apartment in 2005
The area is green, safe, walkable, upscale (we have a few celebrities in the neighborhood) , peaceful, safe and is located within 10 minutes to most of the Hollywood sites! With the lovely weather, evening walks to the outdoor French restuarant will have to be on your list of to do's...
I look forward to helping your vacation be a stress free and fun vacation. I converted the triplex in 2009. The flat is wonderful and perfect for a large family or group of co-working singles. You will not feel cramped. You will have a lovely time at my home which is your home for your stay.My name is Deanna. I am a mother who has turned my lovely building into a vacation rental.
My collegues and I hit the jack pot with this apartment. We were in town from NYC to work on a show at the Ahmanson in downtown LA, this apartment is a 10-15 minutes drive on backroads to the theater. We couldn't believe the SPACIOUSNESS of this apartment. Big comfy bedrooms, lovely clean kitchen, WASHER AND DRYER (!!!!), and a great living room and even better dining space. Not to mention the owners were a quick phone call away to help us with any requests. We utilized the back deck with a big grill and lounge furniture. We were there for over a month and rarely saw the tenants in the other apartments in the building. Minor negatives: The hot tub was broken during our visit, and the parking spots behind the property are VERY tight (this is serious coming from a New Yorker). Let me emphasis the charm of the space, the attentiveness of the owner Deanna, and the amazing locale to Griffith Park trails, Zoo, Downtown, and several major highways. STAY HERE! You will not regret it! Thanks Deanna!
I stayed at the 4BR flat with my wife and two sons. The grounds were well kept. The patio was amazing with water misters and spanish tile. The flat itself was super clean and very spacious. Even though the flat was build in the 1920's, everything was new. All appliances were new. All the beds were grand with expensive sheets and duvet covers. Overall the experience was beyond our expectations of a vacation rental and the price was more than fair. We loved the flat and hope to come back again soon. Thank you Deanna..
My family, friends and I stayed here over my daughter's long wedding weekend. We were so pleased with everything being exactly as portrayed on the VRBO photos. Our time together here was much nicer than could have been at a hotel. We particularly enjoyed the front patio off the dining room along with throwing the french windows open and hearing the fountain below. It was totally hacienda-like -- such a California living experience different from our East Coast homes. Every little detail in the flats we occupied was for the comfort and convenience of the guests. Our young grandchildren were delighted with the toys and books awaiting them in the bunk room. The los Feliz neighborhood is so convenient to shopping, the highways and Hollywood. We would definitely like to treat ourselves to staying here every time we visit out here.
I loved this property from the second I walked in. It was bright, airy and spacious. It also had a very luxiourious feel to it. Jose and Deanna were great helping me get situated and were always available if I needed anything. The property also had a great location. It was close to the 101 and the 5, which was perfect for me since I was in LA to run around from Burbank, to Hollywood, to Downtown on a work project. Also, the neighborhood was nice and I felt safe. I know some sections of Hollywood area can be sketchy... but I felt comfortable there. I will definitely stay there again.
With a lot of family & friends coming in town for our wedding my wife and i wanted to find something more comfortable & relaxing for our guests than a hotel. This location was perfect - thank you to Deanna for a flawless experience. We used all four units and the back patio was a perfect common place for guests to relax. All the bedrooms were spacious and clean, the neighborhood is residential and quiet, and it was conveniently located for all our hollywood activities. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this location and would certainly use it again.
I live in Big Bear, where vacation rentals of all levels of luxury are plentiful. When I come to LA, I stay at Deanna's knowing, no matter which unit is available, I will enjoy top shelf luxury with an at-home feel.
I have stayed in every unit and they are all clean, beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked.

Triangular B reorganizations are often conducted whereby a subsidiary corporation will acquire a target corporation in exchange for stock of the subsidiary's parent corporation. Throw a foreign corporation into the mix and the opportunity exists for tax avoidance, especially as to the acquisition of the subsidiary of stock of its parent for valuable consideration to use in the acquisition. For example, a foreign subsidiary may be able to repatriate earnings to a U.S. parent without a taxable dividend, or if the parent corporation is foreign then funds may be transferred to the parent without a U.S. withholding tax.

A soft tinkling noise cuts through the roar of earth-moving machinery, dog barks and bird cries. The sound, normally inaudible in the daily raucous chorus of an active landfill, originates from a grape-sized bell.
For a sea gull, the faint chime means danger is swooping in at 30 mph on the talons of a Harris's hawk.
The hawk is bred in captivity with a bloodlust for game and is trained by professional falconers to target lures – and sometimes gulls.
Avian Entertainment, a local falconry company, provides bird abatement services using raptors at five landfills and two transfer stations across the state.
Al Hodges, 56, of Laguna Niguel is a full-time Avian Entertainment trainer and bird abatement specialist at Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in Irvine. His job is to use birds of prey to scare off the pesky gulls and crows that scavenge the landfill.
His arsenal includes a bullwhip, two hawks and a falcon.
A couple of gunshot-emulating cracks of the whip are enough to drive away the crows, Hodges says.
The sea gulls, however, need a little more encouragement to leave the bounty a landfill provides. That's where the predatory birds come in.
Why do the gulls and crows take up residence in landfills?
According to the falconer, crows like to dig up and find their treasures under a protective layer of the landfill's dirt, unlocking waste debris and gases. But the sea gulls are more opportunistic, he said.
They pick through the sites and carry waste from them, littering the county with trash.
The crows can number a few hundred.
A flock of 100 to 200 gulls can join forces with others, and soon Hodges and his three birds find themselves fending off almost 1,000 sea gulls at once.
Before a bird takes flight, it is equipped with a bell and radio tracker. With these tools, if a bird decides to leave the area, Hodges can locate it.
"They are well-camouflaged," Hodges said. "If he is in a bush, he's going to be hard to spot. But every time he moves, (the bell) will make a noise."

An apparatus and method for coupling a parallel array of laser beams into a single optical fiber. The increased optical laser power, if that of helium-neon lasers, can be used for photodynamic therapy of cancer with hematoporphyrin derivatives.
1. A beam delivery system for photodynamic therapy comprising:
an optical fiber;
a plurality of lasers emitting laser beams at substantially similar wavelengths;
a plurality of beam steering means, each said steering means directing one of said laser beams through at least two right angles to form an array of near parallel beams onto focussing means; and
said focussing means receiving said steered beams for focussing said steered beams into said optical fiber.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said plurality of laser beams are produced by a parallel array of high power helium-neon lasers.
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said steering means includes mirrors which direct said laser beams in approximately parallel directions.
4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the steered, parallel beams are less than 3 millimeters apart.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the focussing means has an f-number such that all of the focussed beams will enter the fiber at an angle smaller than the fiber's acceptance angle.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the focussing means includes a lens.
7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the focussing means includes a mirror.
The field of the invention is that of an apparatus and method for coupling a parallel array of laser beams into a single optical fiber for the transmission of higher optical power. If multiple helium-neon lasers, each with a high output power of around 50 mW or more are used, the focussed laser light transmitted in the optical fiber can be applied effectively for photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment.
It is currently known that photodynamic therapy (PDT) using hematoporphyrin and its derivatives (HpD) requires red light at the wavelength range of around 630 nm. This corresponds to one of the broad absorption maxima of HpD. For FDT applications, red laser outputs from argon ion pumped dye lasers (Forbes et. al., 1980), gold vapour lasers (Forbes et. al., 1984) and helium-neon lasers (Perria et. al., 1980) have been reported. Dye lasers can be tuned to output in the red from 620 to 630 nm whereas the gold vapour laser has an output at 628 nm and the helium-neon laser at 632.8 nm. All three lasers can deliver red laser light equally effectively to an optical fiber for photodynamic therapy. FIG. 1 shows how a simple lens is used to focus a laser beam into an optical glass fiber (typically from 400 to 1000 um diameter) for delivery of red laser light for PDT. Laser output power of a few hundred milliwatts (at least 600 mW as quoted J. A. S. Carruth and A. L. McKenzie, 1985 ) are necessary. Both the argon ion pumped dye laser and the gold vapour laser can deliver these powers. However, both types of lasers are technically difficult to operate. High electrical power consumption (usually from a 3-phase supply), water cooling, long start up time and elaborate maintenance procedures are needed.
On the other hand, helium-neon lasers are relatively simple lasers to use and can be operated from the usual domestic single phase supply. Helium-neon lasers are also known to be reliable with long operating life. However, presently available commercial helium-neon lasers can give at most 100 mW of stable output power. A single helium-neon laser has therefore too low optical power for practical photodynamic therapy. The possibility of folding a series of helium-neon lasers, either end-on or in folded geometry, has not been reported to be successful due to the difficulties in the alignment of such a long cavity laser due to the small bore size normally required of helium-neon laser tubes. The possibility of using a parallel array of helium-neon lasers, effectively coupled together, has not been conceived as a possible alternative to the dye laser or gold vapour laser systems for photodynamic therapy.
This invention relates to a parallel array of lasers with a beam delivery system for directing multiple laser beams for focussing into a single optical fiber efficiently. Such an array of lasers, with an arbitrary number of units, can be beam steered and simultaneously focussed into a single optical fiber. If high power helium-neon lasers are used, this arrangement can result in sufficient red laser light power to be focussed into a single fiber and transmitted effectively for photodynamic therapy. Such a helium-neon laser array is easy to operate requiring very little maintenance.
FIG. 1 illustrates a known concept of focussing a single laser beam into an optical fiber.
FIG. 2 shows the method of steering a linear array of two laser beams forming two near parallel beams that can be independently steered for focussing completely into a single optical fiber.
FIG. 3 shows the method of steering a square array of 2�2 laser beams for focussing using a single converging device into a single optical fiber.
FIG. 4 shows the method of steering a linear array of n�1 array of laser beams for focussing into a single optical fiber.
While it might be known that more than one laser beam can be simultaneously focussed into a single optical fiber, no practical application has been published. Due to the constraints in the physical dimensions of each laser, no scheme has been published for the incoherent addition of multiple laser beams into a single optical fiber.
FIG. 2 shows how a linear array of 2 laser beams can be beam steered for focussing into a single optical fiber. The arrangement of the 2 beam steering mirrors is paramount to this method. Mirrors M1 and M2 are positioned to enable the two beams to become near parallel and at most two or three millimeters apart, limited by the physical spacing and positioning of the mirrors and their mounts. Mirrors M3 and M4 will enable the directions of the two laser beams to be independently steered through another right angle before incident on the focussing device. While mirrors 3 and 4 can be replaced by a single mirror, the use of two mirrors instead of 1 constitutes a better method due to ease of alignment of the two beams for optimum focussing into the converging device. Since both laser beams can be independently steered, they can be both focussed simultaneously into a single fiber placed at or near the focal point of a light converging device. A converging lens is illustrated although a reflecting concave mirror can similarly be used. The f-number of the focussing device is chosen sufficiently large so that all the converged beams will enter the fiber at an angle smaller than the acceptance angle of the optical fiber used. Further, the fiber diameter has to be chosen sufficiently large so that optimum light acceptance is achieved, taking into considerations the different beam diameters at the focal point due to spherical aberration. The 2 laser beams need not be parallel to the optic axis of the converging device for optimum focussing into the fiber. An aspheric lens or a parabolic mirror can also be used. For maximum coupling of laser light into the fiber, the reflecting mirrors should have the highest reflectivities possible to the laser beams and the converging lens should be anti-reflection coated to the laser wavelength.
FIG. 3 shows how four laser beams, in a square 2�2 array, can be beam steered to be focussed completely into a single optical fiber. Mirrors 1 to 4 enable the four beams, near parallel and physically separated some distance apart, to be brought closer together in one direction as discussed in the case of FIG. 3. Mirrors 5 to 8 enable the beams to be brought closer together in the other direction to form a neatly packed 2�2 laser beams for focussing into the optical fiber. Each of the 4 beams can be independently aligned easily and quickly for maximum coupling into the optical fiber.
FIG. 4 shows the generalised method of steering a linear array of n�1 laser beams to become near parallel and very closely spaced laser beams for focussing into a single optical fiber. Miniature mirror mounts are used to ensure that small spacings are obtained between each laser beams.
Based on the methods outlined embodied in the discussions for FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 for the 2�2 laser array, and FIG. 4 for the n�1 linear laser array, any square n�n (n>1) array of laser beams can be generalised and focussed simulataneously into a single optical fiber.
For easier maintenance of the laser array, some of the inner laser positions need not be filled. Thus, for the 3�3 array, the innermost laser should best be left vacant for easier maintenance of the 8 lasers placed on the outside.
While the above describe the best mode of steering a n�n array of laser beams for focussing into a single optical fiber, there are obviously many possible modifications and variations to the arrangement of the beam steering optics with the same end results in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

London 2012 Olympic velodrome completed
The Olympic Delivery Authority set out a number of sustainability and material targets in the brief that have been either met or exceeded
The building has been designed to spread crowd noise evenly and reduce distractions for competitors
Spectators are allowed a 360 degree view of the concourse
The velodrome was one of the last venues commissioned but the first to be completed, on time and on budget
The steel roof weighs less than half the roof of the velodrome from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
The external cladding is made of Western Red Cedar timber
The legacy velodrome will become part of the Lee Valley VeloPark incorporating a road cycle circuit, mountain bike course, cafe, bike hire and cycle workshop facility
The Velodrome seats 6,000 people

Article Summary
One of the four permanent venues in the London Olympic Park, the velodrome was one of the last to be commissioned, and the first to be completed on time and on budget. Unveiled in February, the sinuous velodrome was chosen to represent London's claim for the "greenest games ever," because of its sustainability and efficiency initiatives. Inspired by lightweight and streamlined racing bikes, the Hopkins Architects-designed velodrome will provide a venue for the indoor track cycling events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

LED - lighting the way
LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology has come a long way in recent years; and it may soon challenge CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) as the green lighting choice.
CFL technology has certainly had a huge impact; allowing millions of us to save substantial cash and carbon dioxide emissions through electricity savings when compared to using standard incandescent globes. In fact, in some countries, the sale of incandescent bulbs will be officially phased out within the next few years.
LED based lighting for domestic applications has recently been getting increasing attention due to advances in technology and reduction in price. LED lighting has been around for years; it's extensively used in applications such as those little red lights on your hi-fi, standy lights on TV's, operation indicators on adaptors and other electronic equipment. For room lighting, it's often used in off-grid setups, RV's and other 12 volt lighting applications.
LED's have no filament to burn out and they generate little heat. Heat is where much of the energy is wasted in an incandescent globe. LED's are illuminated by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material.
While CFL's only sip electricity and have a very long life in comparison to incandenscents, LED's consume under a quarter of the electricity of CFLS and last about ten times as long. There's also been concerns raised about the improper disposal of CFL's as they contain small amounts of mercury. LED's don't have any mercury content at all.
Individual LED's are quite small, so it takes a lot of them to produce an array suitable for lighting an entire room. In most domestic applications, the lighting appliance will be a long strip, or a cluster of LED's in a lamp fitting. With so many needed, and the the materials an LED is constructed from being quite expensive, uptake has been relatively slow.
I had messed around with LED lighting previously, but wasn't really impressed with the light it produced - fine for torches etc., but for use in the home without spending hundreds of dollars on high end lamps; I found the light to be ... odd. I really can't describe it any other way; it was very unnatural and much harsher than tradtional fluorescent lighting
All that seems about to change. Philips recently announced the release of LUXEON Rebel, claimed to be the smallest, brightest power LED, capable of producing a more natural light.
The Luxeon Rebel is a tiny 3mm x 4.5mm with a profile of just 2.1mm. The small size also reduces the amount of materials required in production, so that will reduce manufacturing costs, making LED lighting cheaper for consumers. With less materials being used to create an LED of similar light intensity to its larger predecessors, that's got to be good for the environment too!
If you've considered LED's in the past but have been discouraged by pricing or the light produced; don't despair, we should soon be seeing the Luxeon and other new competing LED components widely utilized in domestic lighting products! I'll certainly be giving LED lighting another try!

Curl Nitro Demo Application Visualizes Facebook Social Graphs
Curl(R), Inc. today made available the newest example of a Curl Nitro "fit client" application. Designed by Manuel Lima, the founder of VisualComplexity.com, the CurlGraph features a visual representation of the social graph of individual Facebook members. Using the desktop-based application, users can visualize a circle of up to 128 friends from an established Facebook account, enabling them to see relationships and navigate quickly through that friend data to find the information they want. Through this demo application, Curl showcases its ability to support a visually engaging, interactive desktop application that is deployed like a Web application.
Similar to Curl's recently released timeline viewer, the CurlGraph is an example of the enhanced desktop RIA capabilities offered by Curl Nitro, an extension of the Curl Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform. The display initially presents the subject, the logged in user, in the center of a ring of their friends, with arcs indicating their interrelationship, and the size of the symbol indicating the number of mutual friends. The information panes on the right show details from profile and recent photo albums of the subject, while the images act as links to the originating Facebook page.
Key features of Curl Nitro highlighted by the CurlGraph application include:
— As a detached "Curlet" or widget, the CurlGraph runs independently of the browser, in its own view, and is accessible from desktop and start menu.
— As an "occasionally connected computing" (OCC) applet, it is installed on the local machine, so as to be available for use when disconnected. However, like any Web-delivered application, when connected, it is automatically updated whenever it is launched.
— With the Curl Nitro release, an embedded SQLite database is available for local data storage. In accordance with Facebook terms of service and privacy policy, stored data is accessible for a maximum of 24 hours before it is refreshed, to ensure that it remains current, especially regarding the privacy preferences of each user's data.
"The CurlGraph offers another representation of the unique aspects of our Nitro technology," said Bert Halstead, vice president and chief architect, Curl. "By once again showcasing features such as online/offline capabilities, while demonstrating Curl as an interactive visualization tool, we are providing yet another proof point of the breadth and depth of Curl's superior capabilities for mission-critical enterprise RIA applications."
For instructions on how the CurlGraph demo application works as well as how to download the application, visit the Widgets/Gadgets/Curlets section of the Curl Developer Center. This is a demo application intended to provide developers with a better understanding of how to build Curl Nitro applications that leverage the strong visualization capabilities of the platform. The 128 Facebook Friend limit is a function of the visual design for this particular example and was selected so as to provide a usable display of affinities. Curl also has made the source files available to modify or create variations of the application.

In November 2009, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd advanced a radical proposal: to create a super-regulator that would take over most of the bank supervision that had been done by the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and other agencies.
The new financial regulation law gives the Federal Reserve chairman the authority to force banks to raise capital and tighten lending -- just as he's trying to steer monetary policy in the opposite direction.
Republican presidential candidates promised to deliver the leadership that Washington needs to overcome congressional gridlock as they pitched their plans for jobs and taxes and called for the removal of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke during a debate tonight at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Participating in the event, sponsored by Bloomberg News and the Washington Post, were former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney; Texas Governor Rick Perry; former pizza magnate Herman Cain; Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman; Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker; Ron Paul, a Texas representative; former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman. Moderators of the debate included PBS talk show host Charlie Rose, Bloomberg reporter

Friday evening, local fans of the famous Christian band Sidewalk Prophets were finally able to see the band live, thanks to the Punxsutawney Christian School, which contacted the band and brought it to Punxsutawney.
The band performed in front of a large crowd consisting of those of all ages.
Opening for the band were About a Mile and Brookville native Caleb Dinger.
Friday being a Friday the 13th wasn't the only thing special about the day, as it also saw the Punxsutawney Memorial Library bidding farewell to Coral Ellshoff, who has served as library director for many years.
Though she will always love Punxsutawney, a place she has called home, she said is making the journey back to Minnesota to be closer to family.
Pictured are Ellshoff (left) and Jane Parente, the library's ILL coordinator.

He was born Sept. 9, 1930, in Crumpler, West Virginia, the son of the late Roby and Kathleen Letha (Hager) Grose.
He was Protestant by faith.
On June 6, 1953, he married Ruby Jean London. She preceded him in death on Feb. 15, 1986.
He then married Sharon Leone (Bausch) Derise on May 26, 1990. She survives.
Mr. Grose previously worked as the Jefferson County Conservation District manager; he was also a New York Life Insurance agent, but at heart, he was a dairy and beef farmer.

Citing fatigue from a year-round schedule, Tony Mills stepped down as Liberty's football coach Tuesday after five mostly successful seasons.
Mills will remain the Patriots' baseball coach; he will begin his seventh season in that capacity in February.
"It's something I ask myself year after year: 'Do you want to be a two-sport coach again?'" Mills said. "I had always said, 'Let's do it again,' but it's just a situation now where I'm tired. And whenever you question your commitment, you're just not being fair to the kids."
Mills was 37-21 in five years at Liberty. He won two Southeast Yosemite League championships in 2008 and 2009 and led the Patriots to the Central Section Division I semifinals in 2009 and this past season, when they upset top seed Clovis 25-23 in the quarterfinals.
Mills also engineered upsets of state top-10 teams Centennial in 2010 (Cody Kessler's senior season) and Bakersfield this season.
"You can't replace the Friday nights," Mills said. "That's what I'm going to miss most about it. There's something about Friday nights, and it's going to be tough when we play Delano in that first game next fall."
Mills also said he'll miss relationships he built with players.
"In baseball, you get a kid from January to about the middle of May, maybe the end of May," Mills said. "Football is just different. You spend 11 months with the kids. You watch them develop."
Liberty athletic director Tim Davis said he would open the football coaching position for applications when the new semester starts Jan. 7. He said he hoped to make a hire by Feb. 15.
"We get comments all the time: How do you do two sports at a major school like that? He's the only guy I know that could have pulled it off like he did for five years," Davis said. "We're just sort of re-grouping, but the good thing about it is we're hoping to have a teacher opening to go with it."
North's Cy Silver, who just completed his second football season, is the only other area coach who pulls off the football-baseball double.
Mills said he has left the football program in good shape -- the Patriots return started many underclassmen, including quarterback Josh Medina, and the frosh-soph team won the Southwest Yosemite League title -- but that it's time to focus on baseball.
"I'm 99.9 percnet sure I'll only be a baseball coach and never coach football again," Mills said. "But you never know what the future holds."

In this special one-hour presentation, Morningstar experts share their takes on how investors can navigate a world with slightly overvalued stocks, an uncertain interest-rate environment, and a slow-growing economy.
In this special midyear presentation, Morningstar's Christine Benz demonstrates how to gauge the viability of your current plan, evaluate positioning, troubleshoot risk factors, and much more.
As investors ditched certain income-producing assets on worries of rising rates, an abundance of fixed-income CEFs moved into undervalued territory, according to Morningstar's Cara Esser.
We're limiting exposure to the front end of the interest rate curve in the U.S. and U.K., and shifting money to emerging-markets debt ahead of monetary easing in those regions, says BlackRock fixed-income CIO Rick Rieder.

By the way, this cake? Is BOMB. So don't forget to bookmark and Pin it before you read on: just because I'm straying off-topic today (and I will be you'll see), doesn't mean this cake wasn't devoured in about two seconds to the highest accolade. Did I mention it's probably in my Top 5 Recipes for this year?
My blog is my Pensieve, and you are all the unfortunate captive witnesses to my unfiltered thoughts. Muahahaha.
Well I mean, not "captive," really. It's not like I can actually keep you here–unless you find my charm so overwhelmingly paralyzing that your eyeballs stay glued to the screen in spite of your concerted efforts to tear them away. I bet this is a major problem for most of you, right? Right.
Today's post is going to be a ramblepost…in case your gut didn't inform you already.
However, I should mention before I continue that today's post is also a #SundaySupper post with the way-talented SS bloggers! And the theme is Saving Summer, which is why I'm sharing lemons. The best thing about lemons is that you can "save" them by freezing them and simply popping them into the microwave for a few seconds when you need fresh juice/zest! Neat trick, right?
Okay, #continueramble…
The funny thing about my rambles and writing this food blog is that I'm not actually really into writing about food. Okay, so when it comes to picking recipes from the bajillion-and-fifty-two that live on the interwebs, awesome descriptions about how your (say, random example) Lemon Curd Coffee Crumb Cake features a tangy, sweet, incredibly moist, savor-every-bite crumb topping with the perfect balance of vanilla drizzle might convince someone that they actually want to make your recipe.
But while I could (and probably should) be writing things of that nature on a FOOD BLOG, I'm just standing over here at my computer going YawnyYawnYawnittyYaaaawn.… Read more

Locate key documents. Look through your house and safety deposit box for wills, life insurance policies, marriage certificates, property deeds, and other records. You'll need these for updating account information and claiming benefits.
Order at least 10 certified copies of your spouse's death certificate. The certificate is needed as proof of death for life insurance claims, Social Security and retirement benefits, and switching account information. Copies can be obtained from the local health department.
Postpone major decisions. Now is not the time to relocate, overhaul your investment portfolio or make luxury purchases. Think twice about paying off your mortgage. If at all possible, don't withdraw money from IRAs or 401(k) plans. Wait until you've had time to develop a long-term financial plan.
Review benefit options. Contact the Social Security Administration to find out about survivor benefits. Also call your spouse's former employer to find out about employee benefits such as payouts of unpaid salary, unused vacation or sick days and pensions. Some companies also may allow you to continue group health care coverage.
Decide how you'll handle life insurance proceeds. Benefits may be paid in a lump sum or an annuity. If you take proceeds in a lump sum, you'll want to consider placing them in short-term, interest-paying investments to ensure that the money is readily available.
Consider filing a disclaimer. Disclaimers allow you to relinquish claims to certain assets, helping you avoid inheritance and estate taxes. File within nine months of your spouse's death.
Get competent legal and financial advice. Seek out qualified and trusted professionals to help you through the process of probate, taxes, and planning for your financial future. For assistance, give your accountant a call.

Between technology's continuous advance and an ever-narrowing digital divide, the future of online cultural publishing is hazier than ever. How will we be reading and writing about art 10 years from now? We posed this questions to array of critics, cultural producers, and journalists—from critic Brian Droitcour to podcast producer Tyler Green, museum technologist Koven Smith to curator Willa Köerner.

Archi-tourism is a web community waiting for its own digital address, writes Alexandra Lange. She longs for a dream site—"Archimaps, Designtrip, whatever"—to map her architectural explorations using smartphone photos. A sense of immediacy, essential to Instagram's appeal, transforms old structures into new discoveries. The trick: how to keep that contagious energy as you make snaps into an archive. More

"What's interesting about Pop as a term," says International Pop co-curator Bartholomew Ryan, is that it's "a linguistic virus that gloms itself onto any production by artists of the period that engages the popular." Part two of the International Pop three-part documentary looks at the global pervasiveness of Pop tendencies in art during the 1960s. More

"I love movies and love the history of movies," director Christopher Nolan told film critic Tim Lammers. "With it—just as you have the history of the Batman comics to draw on with all their great writers and artists—you have this great history of experimentation and innovation of the past masters of moviemaking." Here Lammers shares the best of Nolan from nine films, eight years, and four interviews. More

After a 1964 coup in Brazil, intense censorship scattered artists across the globe or forced them to adopt less public forms of art-making. One, Antônio Henrique Amaral, is best known for large paintings of bananas, a critique that the military dictatorship was turning Brazil into a banana republic. "They can't censor bananas," said Amaral, who passed away April 24 at age 79, in this final interview. More

"Criticism is, in its own way, a unique variety of artistry that is no more confined to a format, a platform, or an outlet—and no less personal—than the art of filmmaking is." Richard Brody discusses the new movie-review policy at the New York Times.
"The significance of digital art's immateriality is not in its denial of a salable object." How should the market circulation of such work be regulated to ensure equitable pay? Art Agenda asks WAGE to set up compensation standards for digital art commissions.
"I've always sensed that women artists have to prove themselves exceptional in order to get their foot in the door, to be considered for something, whereas many, many mediocre men artists easily get by": Cindy Sherman on the pervasiveness of sexism in the art world.

In Motion 4 Essential Training, Ian Robinson shows how to start building outstanding motion graphics and animations for video production. He demonstrates how to build custom text animations with the new Adjust Glyph tool and explores Motion's amazing real-time 3D tools. Ian highlights working in the 3D space, creating depth with lights and shadows, and using reflections to add realism. He gives practical advice on how to integrate Motion into a professional video workflow, round-tripping with Final Cut Pro and sending a final project to Compressor. Exercise files accompany this course.
Now, let's explore the difference between adding behaviors directly to an object and directly to a group. Let's start by exploring this composition. Press F5 to open the Project pane. If your canvas hasn't already scaled, make sure to press Shift+Z to snap it to the proper view. You'll notice we have a small rectangle and a line. It's hard to see behind all the lines and handles. Let's go up to the View pop-up menu and disable Handles and we'll also disable Lines.
Now we can still see the graphic, it's hard to tell that we have it selected, but if you turn the Visibility on and off, you can make sure you are on the correct layer. Now, I want this small rectangle to slide up and down along the line, and then eventually I would like the line to slide left and right across the screen. So this is a perfect animation for parameter behaviors. With the Small Rectangle layer selected, go to your Inspector, under the Properties tab and twirl open the disclosure triangle for a position. Now, since we want this box to slide up and down vertically, let's animate the Y parameter.
Ctrl-click on the letter Y and choose Randomize. Now, randomize will randomly move this up and down along the line at different rates and different speeds. Go ahead and hit Play to begin playback and you can see how this is affecting that box. It's only taking up a very small area. So go ahead and drag the Amount further out to increase the length of the animation. Now, since we fit the edge of this slider, go ahead and click-and-drag in the slider value to increase this to a much higher length.
Now unfortunately, it's still a little too fast, so let's decrease the Noisiness, and also we'll decrease the Frequency just a little bit. There we go. That's a little bit more along the lines, and what I was looking for. Now, as you can see with the Motion path, the small rectangle sliding off the canvas. So let's stop playback just for a quick second, and reselect the small rectangle. So in the Properties tab, we can just drag it down on its Y-axis by clicking-and-dragging in the value slider.
Notice both the object and the red parameter line is actually sliding. Let me zoom in, so you can see it a little more closely, Command+Plus. I'm going to hold the Spacebar down to bring my Hand tool, and click-and-drag to slide the animation back into view. Let's go ahead and hit the Play button one more time to check out the animation. And you can see the animation updating in the Properties tab of the Inspector. You'll also get this little gear, letting you know that there has been a behavior applied to that specific parameter. Now, we are halfway there.
Let me stop playback for a second, and press Shift+Z to see the entire canvas. Now, if I were to click on the Line and actually apply the behavior directly to this line, let's see what happens. If it's not already up, make sure you are in the Properties section of the Inspector tab, and this time Ctrl-click on X-axis. Since I don't want this movement to be quite as frenetic, I'm just going to use the Oscillate behavior. And you can see my problem, with the behavior applied to just the Line, and this other behavior applied to just the Small Rectangle, when you hit Play, you will notice they are not attached.
So this is when you want to actually apply a behavior to the overarching group. So I'm just going to drag this Oscillate behavior up to the main group. Now, with that Oscillate behavior applied, if you click the Play button, you'll notice the line is now moving properly and the small rectangle is also attached to the line. This is exactly the animation that I was going for. Let me go ahead and stop playback just for a second. To make this a little more interesting, let's go ahead and collapse the Group, and duplicate it, by selecting it and going up under Edit and choosing Duplicate.
In the Properties tab, click on the X- axis value well, and drag to the right to slide this to the right side of the screen. If you click the Play/Pause button one more time, now you'll notice both lines are moving in unison. So to make it a little more random, I'm just going to stop playback for a second, open up our duplicate layer, click on Oscillate, select it in the Behaviors tab of the Inspector, and make a slight adjustment. I would like this to oscillate over a slightly larger area.
Now, as far as the small box, let's go ahead and click on Randomize, and you'll notice there is an option called Random Seed. What this does, anytime you click on it, it generates a slightly different random animation. So the new small rectangle won't be animating at the same speed as the other small rectangle. Go ahead and click the Generate button, and you'll notice it generates a brand new number. Just click anywhere in the lower section of the Layers tab to deselect and click the Play/Pause button and let's look at our animation.
That's starting to look a lot more like what I was looking for. You can feel free to duplicate and create more layers and more lines to your liking, but for now, at least you have a firm grasp of behaviors on layers versus groups.

Pardon Me, Madam Secretary — Tea Leoni Is Here.
HINCKLEY HILTON, D.C. -- The Atlantic party certainly earned its name Saturday evening --- just getting to the bar meant slowly floating through a sea of people.
Vince Coglianese is the executive editor of The Daily Caller.
His reporting has received wide coverage, including in the pages of The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The Drudge Report, among others. Vince has appeared as a guest on the Fox News Channel, CNN and CNBC, as well as other cable news networks.

HINCKLEY HILTON, D.C. -- The Atlantic party certainly earned its name Saturday evening --- just getting to the bar meant slowly floating through a sea of people.
Under President Obama's rule, illegal immigrants will be eligible for Social Security payments --- and they'll be credited for the time they've been working illegally, in some cases.

Sleek, Sexy Trailer For 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Has Finally Arrived: VIDEO
The focus is all on Anastasia Steele and, of course, Mr. Christian Grey in the just-released first trailer for the highly anticipated film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. The movie is sure to be a hit with the "housewife" demographic that initially made the book a best seller, but given Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's brooding good looks, anyone could be enticed to see it.
While there are a few light-hearted moments in the trailer, the film seems to revel in the darkness of Grey's mysterious past and the lusty intrigue of his present. One thing's for certain: it all looks uber-sexy.
Check out the trailer, AFTER THE JUMP...
no thank you.

Holy Crap! (Pun intended) Pass...I read a free electronic sample of the book and it is just clownish. The scores of negative reviews hit the mark. Jamie Dornan isn't enough to get me to sit through this train wreck.

I hope it tanks because there's no idiotic narrator to filter out all the rape and abuse.

Why is this on here? "Uber sexy"...right, to the "housewife demographic." Which makes it dreck.

Yes please!

Looks better than I thought it would be. In some scenes Jamie looks just a tad too young to play his part. But on the whole, both leads did quite good. I might see it - I don't know yet.

Uh. No thanks!

"Uber sexy"? Sweetheart, no. It looks like a bigger camp fest than Showgirls.
How did you get this film review gig? You sound smart, so could you try a bit harder?
Posted by: radtastic | Jul 24, 2014 4:18:09 PM
Would anyone want to shag this guy if he were a bus driver? Aren't his wealth and ability to "keep" someone what kind of make the abuse seem fascinating? Or even conscionable? I mean with those abs and that private jet to fly me around in I could probably take a punch every now and then, all in the name of fun and play of course..... nothing messed up about me......

Posted by: jarago | Jul 24, 2014 5:04:54 PM
First of all, that's not sexy. It looks tawdry and boring, like the book. The atrocious book (which was originally Twilight fan fiction) is the reason that thinly disguised porn is currently cluttering up the best seller list and the bookshelves at Target. And Jamie Dornan is not that attractive. He looks way too young. If/when this is a huge success, how many people out there want to bet that they will split the last chapter into two movies completely unnecessarily to continue callously milking this tired cash cow.
Posted by: AJ | Jul 24, 2014 5:25:08 PM
Nothing but trash....(yawn)....
It's been a bad year for movies, and this is just one more in a long series of money-wasters.

Look at the nelly queens talking about what's tawdry, borderline porn, etc., before continuing on to the next story about Tom Daley and talking about how tight his butt is and the things they'd do to him. Hypocrites.
Posted by: Hrm | Jul 24, 2014 5:59:26 PM
It's about sexual difference and that's relevant and interesting. It took the bodice ripper one step further and that's something. Who hasn't wanted to have their bodice ripped just once?
Posted by: Markt | Jul 24, 2014 6:53:33 PM
Looks about as "sleek and sexy" as "Emmanuel Around the World" or something like that. How is this any different than a million softcore porn films from the last thirty years? It looks like something that could have been on Cinemax or Showtime AfterHours, even including the oh-so-shocking bondage. I'm seriously impressed they've managed to somehow sucker people into thinking this is a big event. P.T. Barnum would be proud.
Posted by: bobbyjoe | Jul 24, 2014 7:16:16 PM
More like uberstupid, if you ask me. Jamie Dornan was great in the few episodes of Once Upon a Time, but he looks out of his league in this one.
Posted by: SeattleMike | Jul 24, 2014 7:19:35 PM
So the movie is about two young straight people who get off on the S&M master/slave relationship? How blasé. Get back to me when the man's slathered his arm in Crisco and is fisting her ass, all the while hooking up her tits to some car battery jump wires. Because even that stuff can be seen as tame on a number of gay porn sites, but as Dr. Frank N Furter would say at least that wouldn't be too abysmal.
Posted by: Ian | Jul 24, 2014 10:05:25 PM
My only issue about this film is I personally thought the character of Mr. Grey was someone who was so charismatic and alluring. And yet I don't really get those qualities from the actor portraying him? I'm hoping I'm wrong though. Obviously the director felt something to cast him in the lead role. So I'll just have to wait and see before I can really make a decision.
Posted by: MickyFlip | Jul 24, 2014 11:24:49 PM
Actually I should add mysterious as well as charismatic and alluring. And I just don't get that vibe off the actor playing him.
