Initial behavioral phone interview with someone from HR and then an in-person technical interview. The technical interviewer had a narrow scope in terms of the skills he was looking for-- mostly networking and linux questions were asked. The primary purpose of the interview seemed to be criticism of my experience, although I'm not sure why, since I truthfully represented myself in person and on paper.
After my poor experience in their office, I chose not to move forward with the process. It turned out to be a great decision as I was hired by another company that appreciated my current skill set and has invested in developing me further.
Interview Questions
- Please describe one of the most difficult technical issues you encountered and what you did to resolve it. Answer Question
- No OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at ScrollMotion in February 2015.
This company seems to be selling a very cool product. If you see what the founder has created/done, it is impressive. I applied through the website and about a week later had a phone interview scheduled. The phone interviewer seemed like she was reading the questions off of a paper, in a checklist-type fashion. Didn't seem to be a very skilled interviewer. Approx. 30 minutes long. The questions were nothing out of the ordinary.
Interview Questions
- Are you a hunter or a farmer? 1 Answer
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a staffing agency – interviewed at ScrollMotion (New York, NY) in January 2015.
Spoke to the Controller briefly. Met with the CFO, and the other members of the finance team. They seemed to be on the same level. The appear to be a strong group. The are smart, and sharp. Good leadership skills from the controller. The close the books quickly.
Interview Questions
- Do you know Intect/Quickbooks? Answer Question
- No Offer
I was contacted by someone from ScrollMotion HR. She said: I work for a tech startup called ScrollMotion. We make really cool mobile apps in the enterprise space. I noticed your profile on LinkedIn, looked through your profile, and I think your experience is great. I'm not sure if you are in the job market or at least open to new opportunities, but we'd love to chat with you sometime if you are interested. However, even if you're not, I'm still very impressed with your background and profile and you should be very proud of your accomplishments!"
It sounded like an interesting company, and they sounded very interested in talking, so I responded to suggest times to talk, and never heard back from them.
Interview Questions
- What was unexpected was that the HR rep would reach out to me and then not respond after I suggested times that we could talk by phone. I think that they should generally contact potential hires this way only if they are interested in actually talking to them. As a general courtesy, they should provide some type of response after encouraging people to respond to interview requests. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days – interviewed at ScrollMotion.
The interview process was simple. Basically a very well-mannered person talked at me for 30 minutes. When asked if I was interested, I eagerly nodded my head. ScrollMotion will hire anybody and everybody. They will keep the investors' children on payroll while they waste everyone's time.
Interview Questions
- Do you want this job? Yes! Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at ScrollMotion (New York, NY) in July 2012.
The interview process was quick and concise went through the whole gamut of interviews in a structured and timley manner. The hiring process happened a couple of days later. It was quick and decisions were made rapidly. It was a very pleasant experience.
Interview Questions
- The questions were pretty standard but with some technical slant so obviously needed to know what I was talking about. Answer Question
Negotiate a little more. Its possible if they want you they will pay for it. But don't get greedy either.
- No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 4 days – interviewed at ScrollMotion (New York, NY) in December 2011.
I initially received email from the person I would be reporting to. The email consisted of a list of questions dealing with Apache, networking, mail, and find -- intermediate Linux questions, basically. I then got a phone call from him and we talked about my background and work. A few days later, I got a call from his boss and, again, the discussing was focused on my background and experience. Finally, a few days after that I got a call from the CTO and his was more of a high-level conversation about the company and what I could bring to it.
I then visited their offices and met the first gentleman who interviewed me. At that point he grilled me with technical questions, some of them basic ones that I knew, others obscure ones that would require some research. When he was done he took to criticizing my responses, but then passed me on to his boss. (Quite honestly I thought the interview was over after his remarks to me.)
The culmination was meeting the CTO, who took me into a small conference room and was looking over my resume and hardly looking at me. He then said he had no questions and asked if I had any questions for him. I then proceeded asked him questions.
When it was all said and done, the first interviewer then emailed his list of questions and asked that I research them and respond. It was a very strange request, I must say.
Interview Questions
- What are the functions of a router and a switch? Answer Question
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of relative and absolute modes of chmod? Answer Question
- No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day – interviewed at ScrollMotion (New York, NY) in May 2011.
Their hiring proces is a joke, they have no idea how to hire fire, access, they have no idea what they are looking for.
Interview Questions
- The way the company is so poorly run, how people burn out, yell, they think they have this chordate culture because there are books on wall, but they need to grow uo Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days – interviewed at ScrollMotion (New York, NY) in January 2010.
Scrollmotion knows what they want and they are building a team unlike anything I have every been a part of.
Interview Questions
- What are your strengths/ weaknesses. Am I good at Atari Answer Question
Be honet, they are fair and working there is going to make your life better and trust me do what you can to get a job there if there are any even available
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day – interviewed at ScrollMotion.
When I started, it was pretty minimal, and I only had to meet with the person I would be working directly under. There was no HR at the time.
Interview Questions
- None. Answer Question
There was back and forth with the controller, who tried very hard to pay very little.

I am pleased to present to you my official app.
I created it to invite you to collaborate with me – through Shatoetry.
Shatoetry lets you arrange words to compose sentences, statements, phrases, messages… and hear me perform them for you.

And what do we call that? A Shatism, of course.
You can save the Shatisms you create, and send them to your friends by email.
Some people like to use it to compose poetry and haiku… but the more common and practical creations are simple sentences, phrases, word juxtapositions… even individual words sent in my voice as messages, comments, and communications to friends can be really fun.
You've heard my spoken-word performances. But until now, you've only ever heard what I wanted to say. This one-of-a-kind app makes it truly interactive for everyone. It's a way for you to express your thoughts and your ideas, using my voice.
Now when you want to say something, with Shatoetry on your Android, I'm there to say it for you!
So give it a try. And happy Shatoetizing!
My best, Bill

Bright pale gold in colour with flashes of lime green, this wine is fresh, crisp and aromatic on the nose, boasting delicious gooseberry, melon and pineapple aromas. It is medium bodied and juicy, packed with fresh ripe melon and guava fruits and hints of bell pepper with a crisp, refreshing finish which is bone dry.
2011 Oaked Chardonnay, Sutherland(6x75cl)
Fresh citrus flavours combine brilliantly with subtle toasty oak. This wine has pure, clean fruit,leaving a fresh finish. This wine shows surprising complexity for such a young wine. Should age gracefully

36 minutes hardly seems enough time to craft a completely fulfilling musical experience, but with Birmingham, Alabama quintet Through the Sparks leading the way, suddenly it's possible. Though the band's sound consistently gives a psychedelic indie-rock tint to the feel-good vibes of The Beach Boys and The Beatles, their rich and varied instrumental arrangements allow plenty of room for some very pleasing surprises. Integrating horns, pedal steel, ukuleles and transcendent vocal harmonies with a host of guitar and keyboard tones, the band is able to gear each track to not only properly convey a certain emotional tone, but to create a fitting environment in which that expression can flourish. From restrained, atmospheric mood pieces to bouncy rock and roll, Through the Sparks always sound intentional and never disingenuous with every change of tempo, temperature and style. "Falling Out of Favor with the Neighbors" recalls the sound of solo John Lennon while instrumental "The Smile of Your Shadow", though slowly shuffling, retains a sense of pulse and momentum. "Local Moon" is a nice slice of melodic indie rock while "Archetype" employs an old-time, Old West piano sound to create a modern, hard-luck ballad. Hard to pigeonhole but easy to appreciate, Through the Sparks are a bright star ready to shine for the right audience.

I'm signing off this site. It has not been so swell for me, so I figured I would honestly spell out who I'm looking for. First, no old women need apply...not necessarily age, but old in mind and soul and have let themselves go so they are older than their years. Second, I have only dated and married (2) younger women. I like younger women apparently. By younger I am not interested in 20's and 30's...unless someone is into older men? Everyone likes what they like. I am open to any age woman as long as she is in great shape, thinks and acts young, does not dress like an old lady, is aware and into music, movies, art, food, sex, wine, vacation, etc. Lastly, I don't care about how you ski, surf, exercise, play sports, climb damn rocks...and you are not looking for a Sugar Daddy. Not me. I know this may sound a bit "heavy", but that is not me. I'm cute, funny, smart, sweet, not sweet, sexy, loving and looking for my last love. Thanks for reading all this, if you could endure it.

I converted from Team Droid to the iPhone. I like it, but I can't say it's better than Droid. It's just different. There are some free apps that I miss from the Droid market because the iPhone app market doesn't have the comparable apps for free (you have to pay & I don't pay for apps). Other than that, I'll just stick to saying it's good to me just not better. Oh & I though this was a castor oil post too! LOL

Gone but never forgotten
... to deal with this loss. All I want to do is be with my family and sisters right now. However, Anna lived every day of her life to the fullest and I know she would want all of us to do the same. Although this is an extremely hard time for me I am going to try and live my life to the fullest everyday in honor of her.
Please send Anna's family and friends your prayers as they are going through this extremely hard time.
With a heavy heart,
Farmstay, Parco Statella & Restaurant
... people travel a long way for just the restaurant - delicious. All local food and wine produced here. The farmstay is owned by 3 sisters.
I would have loved to stay a few days here as the property was beautiful, and the perfect spit for a picnic.
Thoughts for today - blessings so far
... around for the people of Italy - surrounded by love!
The owner of the apartment I stayed in, in Nomentana, Rome was an earth angel too. Can you imagine, an art history teacher a few years ago...takes me on 2 tours of art in Rome, and cooks me dinner on my last night in Rome. Her kindness and generosity were so special to me.

They were very persistent, as John found out. Fortunately he escaped unscathed.

Too Close to See
... the converted airy chambers which once housed the vast bustle of the kitchens, now scrubbed, spare, and breezily furnished. It is a white, anticipatory space where the walls shoot up and begin imperceptibly to curve until at some point they become sections of the great arc of ceiling, a place where the sun is caught on the terrazza but coolness is never quite banished from the inner chambers. ...

The Space
The Beach Bungalows is a cozy alternative hotel consisting of four raised teak bungalows, conveniently located near the beach. Each bungalow is fitted with a queen-size bed, ceiling fan, mini-fridge, full shower bath, and a safe box for your valuables. On the lower llevel, each bungalow has a personal lounge area near the pool, with daybeds or hammocks perfect for relaxing after a fun day at the beach!
n effort to reduce energy consumption, we decided not to install televisions or air conditioners in the bungalows, but there is a comfortable common area with a/c and a flat screen cable tv in the event your favorite team has a match you just can't miss! We also have wi-fi available on the property, a refreshing pool, and a common kitchen area and barbecue grill for guest use. Come kick off your flip flops, stay with us and enjoy all Tamarindo has to offer. Our friendly labradoodle Parker may even bring you a beer if you ask her nicely!
The Beach Bungalows provides its guests with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience beautiful Costa Rica. Close to restaurants, bars, boutiques, and grocery stores and only a few minutes' walk to the beach, the Beach Bungalows provides a real "get away" feel, with its unique garden setting and visiting monkeys.
We also have installed a state of the art water treatment system that allows gray water to be used for irrigation, helping to conserve precious resources, and a water purification system that makes the water from all taps drinkable.
Whether you want to scuba dive, surf the day away, zipline or just take in the sun, Beach Bungalows is the perfect spot to be! We can help you book your adventures and then provide a comfortable spot to relax at the end of an amazing day! And with our magic jack connection, you can make free calls to the US and Canada to tell your friends about your adventures.
Let our intimate tropical setting with just four custom cabinas built from local sustainable teak -- each with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs, an in-room fridge, a safe for your valuables, and a separate outdoor lounge area near the pool with hammocks and day beds or lounge chairs -- be the base for your Costa Rican adventure!
Guest Access
In addition to their private bungalows, guests will have access to our bbq grill and common kitchen area, dining patio, media room with flatscreen tv, netflix and apple tv, free calls to US and Canada via magic jack, free wi-fi throughout, guest laptop, beach bicycles, refreshing pool, and beach towels.
Interaction with Guests
We love getting to know the travelers that come our way! I live on-site and enjoy visiting with guests during breakfast and are available to help plan adventures and answer questions as needed!
The Neighborhood
Some of the things we love about Tamarindo:
Sunsets at the beach
Scuba diving with Agua Rica
Organic coffee at Cafe Tico
Duck Tacos and Beef tartar at Wok'nRoll
Pie at Nogui's
the cool people here!
Getting Around
You can walk anywhere in Tamarindo in 15 minutes or less. Taxis are also available and are inexpensive. Shuttles can be arranged from LIR for $20 per person, and Tamarindo is just a hop from San Jose on Sansa or Nature Air.
Other Things to Note
We now have ocean kayaks for guest use!
While we love kids, this is not an ideal location for children due to the open pool area and bungalow stairs.
Rule 1. Please be sure to contact us at (email hidden) with your expected arrival time so we can be sure to be back from the beach in time to greet you!
Rule 2. Have fun!!

Warning: do not stay here.. you will never want to leave! Trish was such a bubbly and warm hostess. My friend & I thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay-- everything from the company (Trish, Claudio, Parker, Stella, Edwin and the other guests) to the breakfasts and the relaxing vibe of the property was perfect. Trish gave us a lay of the land of Tamarindo when we arrived, shared a delicious dinner at Green Papaya, laughs and stories throughout our stay and sent us off with a big hug and beautiful memories. Pura Vida!
The beach bungalows were absolutely amazing. I went on a trip with my sister and it exceeded my expectations. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, the property is beautiful, and breakfast is UNREAL. Although I didn't get to meet Trish she was so helpful throughout the entire booking process. Communication was excellent. The location is also great and my sister and I loved using this bicycles to get to the beach. Thanks again for everything!!
Pura vida :)
We absolutely loved our 5 night stay at the Beach Bungalows in Tamarindo. Trish and the rest of the Beach Bungalow crew truly made it feel like home. Trish provided excellent recommendations all around town when we arrived and did not steer us wrong. While only a few min walk to the beach, we loved using the bikes to zip down to the beach and around town. Also the breakfast each morning was amazing. We would recommend the bungalows to anyone looking for a more personal and family feel for their Tamarindo vacation.
From the moment we opened the doors, we were welcomed with a smile and were offered a beverage on the hot day we arrived! Trish was out of town but she was great by helping us with our reservation and with the shuttle transfer. Claudio and Eloisa were exceptional and the staff catered to our needs. Thank you again Maria for the Huevos Rancheros (Bungalows) on our last morning! WiFi worked quickly and breakfast was great everyday. Short walk to the beach and main area from this location. We loved taking the bikes to Playa Langosta from the Bungalows and it saved us a few bucks rather than taking a taxi! Highly recommend staying here!! We will inform our friends and family to stay here in the future :)
We had the best time in Tamarindo because of Beach Bungalows. The environment they have created is incredible. Every morning, the staff cooks a delicious homemade breakfast while everyone sits around a big family-style table and shares stories. We met amazing people, both in the staff and in the others staying at the bungalows, and were so sad when we had to leave. Although I was not able to meet Trish, she sent spot-on recommendations before my arrival (Panga's was incredible!) and made sure I was well taken care of for my birthday while there :) Claudio and Eloisa were especially welcoming and I am so happy we had the chance to meet them. Hope to return to Tamarindo soon - Pura Vida!
I had the loveliest time getting to meet you by email, and I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay and had a great birthday! I am disappointed that I wasn't able to meet you in person, especially because everyone here had such nice things to say about you!! I'm also sorry that the review I sent while traveling somehow didn't go through, but we loved having you and I will share here as well that we all found you to be friendly and considerate and we highly recommend you to other potential host! We hope you can come back and see us again!! Happy travels, Trish
Everything about the Beach Bungalows was perfect, especially the breakfasts! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Tamarindo. Pura Vida!!
Trish's place was great! We spent a ton of time lounging around the pool and in the hammock and day bed. Even though there were other people staying in the other bungalows, things were quiet and we had privacy. Trish herself was a pleasure. So friendly and gave us great recommendations of things to do. Trish's staff were also friendly and helpful. We had freshly cooked breakfast every morning and spent time playing with Trish's dogs. We are already looking into coming back next year.

About the Host, Trish
I love travelling, new adventures, my dogs, and getting to know people from different places around the world. While taking a break from my legal career, I wound up in Costa Rica taking surf and Spanish lessons and fell in love with the beautiful beaches, amazing surf, fabulous scuba diving, and wonderful people!! After several months in Tamarindo, I decided to look for my own piece of paradise and knew as soon as I saw it that the Beach Bungalows was the place for me. I would love to have a chance to share this magical place with you!

I'm a fun loving person, and I value quality time with my friends and family more than anything. I love to laugh and even more so to make people laugh. Most people would describe me as an intellectual. I read extensively. I love classic movies. I'm extremely eclectic with music. I love spending time outside doing things like hiking.
My faith is extremely important to me. I am Christian and my relationship with God is always the most important thing in my life. I am looking for a church right now. It's important to me that the person I'm with shares my beliefs and values.
I'm looking for a intelligent woman who has a good sense of humor. Kindness, loyalty, and honesty are very attractive qualities in a woman. I view myself as a gentleman, so I'm looking for a lady. If you want to know more, feel free to ask.

Was not familiar with Gamay. I really enjoyed this bottle--so different than most of the commercial wine out there. Fruit forward, moderate alcohol, drinking very well now.
There was some funk at first. Over the course of a couple hours, it settled into dust and pepper on the nose with red fruit in the backround and a lightly vegetal tone. The palette is light and approachable. I'm not sure I understand this varietal yet. 6-16-6-6
Really starting to enjoy this immensely.. Growing into it. More fruit and depth than the first two bottles. Love where this wine is right now..
#RRSFBAY (Washington, DC): Tangy, almost sour, with fine tannins, bright cherries, roses, some funky-meaty undertones. Equal parts tasty, fun and weird. Digging this Rhone Gamay.
Perceived some sourness, especially just after opening, that reminded me of a sour belgian beer, e.g. a lambic. Good and zippy if you like this, or maybe it was an odd bottle variation. Definitely some tart fruit, however.

Fiesta Mart celebrates food every day of the year. The company operates about 60 stores across Texas that sell ethnic and conventional groceries, including items popular with its target customers: Mexican- and Asian-Americans. Its stores are located mainly in the Houston area, but Fiesta also has been adding stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and in Austin. Fiesta purchased three supermarkets from Winn-Dixie Stores when the grocer left Texas. At its supermarkets, Fiesta leases kiosks to vendors who offer such items as jewelry and cell phones. The company also runs some 15 Beverage Mart liquor stores. Fiesta Mart, founded in 1972 by Donald Bonham and O. C. Mendenhall, is owned by investment firm ACON Investments.
Change in Company Type
In mid-2015 investment firm ACON Investments acquired Fiesta from grocery wholesaler Grocers Supply Co., which in late 2014 sold its wholesale business to C&S Wholesale. C&S will continue to supply Fiesta.
Geographic Reach
To capture market share in the crowded and competitive Texas grocery market, Fiesta Mart is looking beyond its core Hispanic and Asia-American customers to serve other groups as well, including shoppers that hail from India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
In addition to food geared toward Mexican and Asian-Americans, Fiesta stores offer kosher and halal foods and some have dedicated aisles stocked only with international items. Indeed, Fiesta's newer 57,000-sq.-ft. store in Houston, which opened in 2012, stocks items from more than 60 countries and is one of the chain's most intensely international locations.
The sheer size of the Hispanic market in Texas has prompted other local grocery chains to develop dedicated formats to serve Latino shoppers, encroaching on Fiesta's established niche. Examples include H-E-B's Mi Tienda ("my store" en Español) and Brookshire Grocery Co's. Olé Foods, to name a few. Wal-Mart's supercenters and SAM'S CLUB also seek to cater to Hispanic shoppers.

Clive James is the Daily Telegraph's former TV critic. He also writes essays and occasional features for the Telegraph. His website is www.clivejames.com
Clive James was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1939 and educated at Sydney University and Cambridge, where he was President of Footlights.
The Observer hired him as a television reviewer in 1972, and for 10 years his
weekly column was one of the most famous regular features in Fleet Street
During this period he gradually became a prominent television performer himself, and over the next two decades he wrote and presented countless studio series and specials, as well as pioneering the postcard format of travel programmes.
In 1979 his first book of autobiography, Unreliable Memoirs, recounting his upbringing in Australia, was an enormous publishing success. It was followed by four other volumes of autobiography, the most recent being The Blaze of Obscurity (2009).
Collections of his essays on literary and other topics include The Metropolitan Critic (1974), The Meaning of Recognition (2005) and The Revolt of the Pendulum (2009), but the critical book that drew most attention was his study of culture and politics in the 20th century, Cultural Amnesia (2007). The bestselling Brilliant Creatures, the first of his four novels, was published in 1983. His most recent collections of poetry are Opal Sunset and Angels Over Elsinore, the second of which was short-listed for the Costa Prize.
He is married to the scholar Prue Shaw, and they have two daughters, Claerwen, molecular biologist turned painter, and Lucinda, civil servant and world expert on CSI: Miami. In 2008 he was awarded the George Orwell Special Prize for a lifetime achievement in journalism and broadcasting. He lives in London, Cambridge and various airports.
Many of his essays and poems can be found at his website, www.clivejames.com.

The Lori Berenson Papers
The charges hinge on the testimony of Pacífico Castrellón, a man with whom she shared a house in Lima and whom she identifies in the transcripts as her conviviente, usually translated into English as "lover." All accounts agree that in November 1994, almost a year before the police operation in La Molina, Lori Berenson met Castrellón, a Panamanian twenty years her senior, at the airport in Panama City, where they were both preparing to board a plane to Quito, Ecuador.
The genesis of that encounter, and its aftermath, are matters of dispute. Berenson's parents say that Lori has always denied a romantic relationship with Castrellón. Although she was not allowed to be interviewed directly for this article, she recently offered the following account: "I have never, ever, ever been or signed any document stating that Mr. Castrellón had been at any moment my significant other, lover, and much less conviviente," she said. She explained that an unnamed acquaintance in New York, who knew that she wanted to go to Peru, had recommended Castrellón as a traveling companion.
According to other sources, however, a romance blossomed soon after their meeting at the Panama airport, a meeting that Castrellón claimed was carefully orchestrated by the MRTA. In the Atestado, he tells a tale of shadowy Peruvians and Panamanians who hired him both as an architect and an escort. It was in Quito, Castrellón says, that Berenson spoke with Néstor Cerpa, then the leader of the MRTA, and a woman they called Ysabel. That was the first time, he stated, that he heard of the MRTA.
The MRTA, a traditional Latin American Marxist guerrilla organization, was significantly smaller and less complex in structure than the more ruthless Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), which took its ideology from Mao and fought a war of terror with the Peruvian government from 1980 through the capture of its messianic leader, Abimael Guzmán, in 1992. The MRTA had been known, for much of its career, more for its theatrical escapades--distributing free food in shantytowns and breaking out of prison--than for its few dozen killings and kidnappings. Jeremy Bigwood, a war photojournalist who has covered armed conflicts in Central America since the eighties, spent considerable time in Peru with the MRTA while represented by Gamma Liaison. "They were extremely pleasant people," Bigwood says, "but much less competent than [El Salvador's] FMLN. I call them The Gang That Can't Shoot Straight. One time, two of the MRTA leaders were walking along the street and saw an old man pushing a car that had broken down. They had just helped him get the car in front of a bank, when the old man ran away. Suddenly it hit them--the man was a member of Sendero, and they had been helping him push a car bomb!"
In 1990, the MRTA had its biggest publicity coup, digging a tunnel into Miguel Castro Castro prison on the outskirts of Lima and freeing, among many others, its top leader, Victor Polay Campos. But the kidnappings of several businessmen turned public sentiment against the MRTA, especially when, in early 1993, the dead body of David Ballón, once a robust 200-pounder, was found emaciated. Quickly the heroic aura evaporated as the need for cash morphed the image of the MRTA from a band of Merry Men (and Women) into a gang of common kidnappers who associated with drug dealers.
It was during this period, according to the police transcripts, that Lori Berenson had her first contact with the MRTA. After the alleged meeting with Cerpa in Quito and a brief sojourn in Ecuador, Castrellón and Berenson decided to take a bus to Lima. A short stay in two hotels finally led them to rent a house, one month after their arrival, in La Molina; Castrellón signed the lease. "We rented a big house to be able to receive guests," Berenson says in her testimony.
Castrellón told the police that in January of 1995, Ysabel put them in touch with a man the DINCOTE wanted almost as badly as it wanted Cerpa--Miguel Rincón. Rincón moved into the house. Then, according to the transcripts, the Castrellón/Berenson relationship ended, although both continued to live there (in August Berenson rented an apartment in the less-well-heeled district of San Borja). "After my separation [from Castrellón], I continued living in that place [La Molina]," says Berenson's testimony. Soon another woman, called Francis, arrived. Castrellón slept next to the garage, while Berenson, Francis and Rincón had rooms on the third floor. The pecking order, Castrellón said, was clear: With money from Rincón, Berenson bought a computer to which only she, Francis and Rincón had the password. Castrellón was relegated to the role of chauffeur.
In March, Castrellón began picking up young MRTA militants and installing them on the fourth floor, where they received political and military instruction. Occasionally, Cerpa himself came to the house, Castrellón told the police. Castrellón said he was forbidden to touch the computers, speak with people on the fourth floor, enter the fourth floor without wearing a hood that covered his face (he said this was also a requirement for Berenson, with whom he occasionally served meals to the top-floor guests) or enter the third-floor rooms at all. Berenson, he claimed, wrote on the computer, cooked and served. Castrellón also reported that he constructed a model of the Peruvian Congress based on information provided by Berenson.
Castrellón's testimony not only contributed to Berenson's arrest but was used by police to foster the Peruvian myth of her as an international terrorist. "Castrellón was still in love with Lori," recalls a former MRTA member who shared a prison cell with Castrellón in 1998. "He was sad and bitter."

Somewhat of a cross between Amnesia and Insanity, this is where a character replaces their own real original identity with a new false identity (i.e. a false reality/persona/memories), usually caused by either internal psychological trauma or external brainwashing.
This concept is for games in which the main character is male.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.

Here we examine why fuel prices in Britain are so high:
Fuel is heavily taxed, with levies accounting for the majority of the cost of petrol. Successive governments have applied above-inflation rises to fuel duty.
The average price for a litre of unleaded petrol on British forecourts is 123.26p. Of this, 57.19p is fuel tax, 18.36p is VAT, while the actual cost of the fuel is only 47.71p.
In the case of fuel, the taxman takes a double cut because VAT is applied to the cost of the petrol inclusive of fuel tax. Essentially, you have to pay tax on the tax you pay to buy your fuel.
With VAT due to rise from 17.5 per cent to 20 per cent next week, the cost for motorists will rise further.
And as if that wasn't enough, an increase in fuel duty, which is also coming into force next month, will add a further 0.76p per litre. It follows two earlier increases, each of 1p a litre, in April and October.
Strength of Sterling
The price of petrol is closely linked to the price of oil. Oil is priced in dollars, which means that changing exchange rates in the dollar affect the price of oil in other currencies.
If the pound weakens against the dollar then those buying petrol in Sterling pay more. In 2008, when the price of oil was $147 a barrel, £1 bought you $2. Now £1 buys you $1.5. That means to buy the same oil, we need to spend 25 per cent more. This difference filters down into the price of petrol at the pump.
Rising oil prices
After a peak high of $147 in July 2008, oil prices have stabilised to between $60 and $80 a barrel over the last year or so. But they rose sharply yesterday reaching $93 a barrel when trading resumed after Christmas. With freezing conditions affecting much of eastern America and mainland Europe, experts predict a barrel of oil could soon pass the $100 mark again.
The Conservatives previously pledged to introduce a "fuel duty stabiliser" to cut taxes on petrol when oil prices are high.
However, David Cameron has failed to introduce the policy and ministers are now likely to come under pressure to offer help to motorists.
Petrol refining companies and investment banks can push the price of petrol higher through speculation.
This is when they invest in the commodity and try to influence the price by limiting the supply.
With global interest rates at a prolonged low, the speculators know that investors will be looking for returns from assets such as commodities.
As these traders push to sell their petrol for higher prices, so all petrol is dragged higher.

"Historical Ukrainian Costume"
I've mentioned it on this list before - and posted some colour plates to
the file area of the Yahoo groups site.
Someone on the list wanted more info on one of the colour plates (I
don't recall who - Ludmilla perhaps?)
Again I have a delay on getting it translated (my local translator is

posted a portion of the one chapter that seems to be about costume that
falls into the SCA time frame.
There are a bunch of black and white drawings in these pages - so even

This will give you a base to work up stories from. They aren't directly
tellable since they are written as literature or taken from chronicles -
so you have to alter them. If you've been reading a lot of the Russian
folk tales you'll quickly be able to pull out the "period" bits that are
in the folk tales and go from there.
I also found a new book called "Down Singing Centuries - Folk Literature
Of The Ukraine" Translated by Florence Randal Livesay, Compiled and
Edited by Louisa Loeb, Publisher: Hyperion Press Limited, 198, 204 pgs.
I haven't been able to take a good look at this yet (I found it over
Xmas and have been to busy since to read non-school stuff) - I suspect
that most of what's in it is 1800, and 1900's stuff - but you never know
the sort of gems you find.
There are also a lot of Ukrainian or Russian twists on Aesop's fables
and other tales that can be tracked to period (The tales, not the
cultural changes can be tracked). If you need (or want) more books that
deal with Russian or Ukrainian tales (non-period) I have a huge
collection and can post all of them. Or if you need titles of books of
period tales in general I also have a collection that I can post.
Here is a good place to look up info on common tales
I also have notes on how to make a case for a common folk-tale as a
period story. Doing this can be a technical research exercise - fun for
those of use who like research; but can take away from the story if you
don't like that sort of thing. I can post those notes as well - for
those who are curious.

Going back to romance and the 'love of your life', Johnny Galeki (sp?) said in an interview recently that he considered Penny and Leonard to be the 'love of each other's lives', which just goes to show how deeply ingrained this fantasy of the 'one special person' is. If Big Bang was real, they would never have hooked up, it would have been months of awkward greetings in the hallway and if he was lucky he would have ended up in her 'special friend' zone where he gets to listen to her talk about her mean boyfriends. Because that is the real world.
Statistically there may be many potential partners out there with greater or lesser degrees of compatibility with you. The size of the pool of potential partners would depend on personality and looks and money and all of those other things that people pretend don't matter, but really do.
I hope you don't take it personally when I say that's absolute nonsense.
If you can read this signature, you're dying.
