So go ahead, get a Green Bay Packers Fathead or any of our NFL Fatheads and throw away that lame football poster.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Product description
This book was awarded as a Guardian Best Book of the Year 2014. It is longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction. The Catholics of Elizabethan England did not witness a golden age. Their Mass was banned, their priests were outlawed, their faith was criminalised. In an age of assassination and Armada, those Catholics who clung to their faith were increasingly seen as the enemy within. In this superb history, award-winning author Jessie Childs explores the Catholic predicament in Elizabethan England through the eyes of one remarkable family: the Vauxes of Harrowden Hall. God's Traitors is a tale of dawn raids and daring escapes, stately homes and torture chambers, ciphers, secrets and lies. From clandestine chapels and side-street inns to exile communities and the corridors of power, it exposes the tensions and insecurities masked by the cult of Gloriana. Above all, it is a timely story of courage and frailty, repression and reaction and the terrible consequences when religion and politics collide.

"Destiny" and "determinism" are two different things, though. Choice has to be a crucial element in destiny, because destinies can be fulfilled; it's a belief system. Determined systems don't have room for choice in the sense that we can make a choice that isn't determined by the system itself - it's a mechanism that exists outside belief. This is why compatibilist systems tend to suggest local or social determinism.
Thanks for the clarification, Nate. I have enjoyed your posts a lot but haven't replied because I couldn't keep up :)
Okay, so I spoke about determinism, not destiny. Even if everything is inevitable, being based on past events, since nobody knows everything life keeps surprising us. So neither destiny nor determinism really matters.
Actually, there is maybe one type of destiny that is real and significant. When enough people believe in particular destiny or outcome, they make it happen. The stock market is an example.

Another way of saying it ... we are slaves ... insignificant expendable cogs in the machinery of the Universe, driven to churn energy and information around for a short time before we are destroyed and replaced. We worry about having a good life - being a good person etc but that only matter on a personal level. The Universe doesn't care - just by living you are fulfilling your function, ie. churning stuff around lol
However, the Universe, in Its benevolence, throws us scraps of free will that are left over once we're done working through the endless stream of unconscious compulsions that drive us :)
Thought bubbles ...

If we make it past this technological adolescence without wiping out our race, then I think it's inevitable that humans will populate other places in the solar system/galaxy besides Planet Earth.
Meanwhile, shall I have scrambled or over easy? I think I'll exercise my free will and just to throw a spanner in the works, I'll say pancakes. But I will end up doing scrambled. Free will in action. Men love scrambled. (obscure movie quote, any guesses? hint, Shelly Long said it)
That could be predicted too, Larry. Not that it matters. Just saying :)
Have you seen the Future Timeline website? When you think how much things have changed in just the last 20 years ... given that the pace of change is increasing, in another 20 years we won't know the joint. It seems like the good things in the world are getting better (social progress, technology, economic systems) and the bad things are getting worse (crowding, inequality, resources and natural die-back).

Statistical leaders seem to change almost nightly in the Ontario Hockey League, but when it comes to the draft eligible players, Niagara's Brendan Perlini is opening a small margin among his draft eligible cousins. Perlini leads in points (26), goals (12), and assists (14) and is in the top 3 in power play goals and powerplay assists.
Below are the statistical leaders among players eligible for the 2014 National Hockey League Draft for the first time. Players passed over in previous drafts are not included except for the goaltenders.

Paul Konchesky hails Leicester City's team spirit
Posted: December 15, 2012|
Defender Paul Konchesky has hailed Leicester City's team spirit.
City have looked more of a unit this season, with the rumours of rifts and tifts that plagued the morale of the side last year apparently a thing of the past.
Konchesky said he believes that City's last-gasp equaliser against Barnsley last Saturday could be put down to the side's togetherness and desire to play for each other right to the end.
"I think we've stuck together a lot more," said Konchesky. "When we do concede goals or start losing, we always think we've got a chance to get back into the game.
Related content
"That was proved against Barnsley. We had a lot of chances but it wasn't going in for us and we went to the 90th minute. If it takes that long to win games, or draw games, then we'll do it. You could see the team spirit we had.
"You can see we all stick together, no matter who is in the side, and we are together as a team and, hopefully, that will get us through."
The former England international said manager Nigel Pearson can take a lot of the credit for instilling such a strong team spirit.
"Obviously it was hard him coming in when he did last season, changing what he wanted to change," said Konchesky. "But he's had all summer and all season to do that and get across what he wants to do and I think the boys have taken to it. I think you can see that on and off the pitch that we're a good unit."
Togetherness is something City will have to draw upon this afternoon when they travel to Millwall to face a side that have lost just once in their last 14 games and are unbeaten in six on their own turf.
"It's going to be very tough," he said. "It's never easy going to Millwall. It's not a nice place to go either.
"We know they're big and strong, they like to play forward quickly and we've got to be able to deal with that and maybe break them up."

Update: The Pro Wrestling Name Generator is now located at www.wrestlingname.com!
Two websites I visit often are The Presurfer and The Generator Blog.
The Generator Blog is "about software that creates software. Software to play around and have fun with."
A few years ago I had made a Pro Wrestling Name generator that would take your name and tell you what your wrestling name would be. So, I was inspired to re-create it (in both cases, I had modified the "Wu-Name Generator" source).
This time I spent a lot of time modifying the html and php code that I had used as a reference (it wouldn't work at all with Dreamhost, my hosting provider). I added some security and validation to the form 'post' method and added a lot of functionality to the PHP code. My friend from work, Justin, helped me clean up the html and CSS so that it validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Anyways, Gerard from The Presurfer & The Generator Blog was kind enough to post my Pro Wrestling Name Generator and I've been getting a ton of traffic since!
So - give it a try and find out what your Pro Wrestling name should be! Here's a screenshot:

As August comes to a close, the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, and SummerSlam, three of the WWE's Big Four PPVs have come and gone. With those three shows in the books, there is only one more "Big" Pay-Per-View to look forward to during this calendar year, and it's Survivor Series, the much-maligned redheaded stepchild of the WWE's annual Big Four PPVs. For several years now, I've heard WWE fans complain about how the concept of Survivor Series has become tired and irrelevant. In 2010, the show was in danger of being dropped from the WWE's PPV slate and rebranded, until the WWE decided to keep the show and its concept in their schedule.
Now I'll be the first to state that the Survivor Series PPV and concept lack the box office appeal of The Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and SummerSlam. Last year, The Rock returned to the ring for the first time in seven years and barely boosted the annual event's buyrate (mainly due to the fact that the build up to the match was illogical and simply poor storytelling). What is the problem with the show and its concept that has people believing that it's not worth seeing? I say it's the execution (or lack thereof) of the event and it's core concept, that have lead to disinterest in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team bouts that once were the primary draw for the event. Seeing the same formula again and again (babyface team is at a disadvantage, but battles back to win or almost win), the generic team dynamics, and the simplistic nature the Traditional Survivor Series matches have adopted, clearly has turned some people off of the event.
Rather than focus on the things that have gotten people to tune out, I want to look at what can be done to revitalize the fourth biggest PPV event on the WWE's calendar. How can it be rebuilt stronger and faster than ever? Simply by remembering to establish three vital narrative dynamics that are certain to add interest to the ensemble event that the Survivor Series is. Establish what's at stake, establish an interesting and layered story, and try something different with the traditional boundaries.
What's At Stake?
Something that I find takes away from some of these Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tags is that there is more often than not, very little at stake. Take last year for instance, where Team Barrett battled Team Orton. At the time, Barrett and Orton were embroiled in a rather high profile feud, so I understood why they would want to face-off at the PPV, I just didn't understand what was motivating the other eight superstars in the match. What was at stake for them, other than winning the match? At a PPV, there needs to be more at stake. A win or a loss in a match at a PPV needs to feel more important than one on Raw or Smackdown. Last year for 80% of the combatants in the Traditional Elimination Tag Match, there wasn't anything that made the match feel more important than any match you could see on free TV. There was nothing at stake for them, which subsequently makes me not give a damn. The same could be said about Team Mysterio vs. Team Del Rio from the year prior, or 2009's Team Orton vs. Team Kingston and Team Miz vs. Team Morrison. Fact is I get why the captains are feuding with one another, but why do the four babyfaces and four heels picked to participate give a damn, and what is at stake for them?
A way to raise the stakes for these Traditional Survivor Series matches is to have surviving them mean something. Give each competitor an incentive to be one of the survivors on his team. A way you could do that is by having the survivors of these matches have to compete later in the evening in a bout to win a World Heavyweight or WWE Title shot at an upcoming PPV. If you have two of these Survivor Series Elimination matches, an each sees two survivors, then later on there will be a Fatal 4-Way to determine a new Number One Contender. Again, I'm just spit balling, and there is likely a better idea out there to make these matches have more at stake. I just think this kind of incentive gives everyone a reason to want to survive, and will make for some dramatic Team Dynamics.
Give Each Team a Story
Whenever a team is put together in a TV show, or a movie, there are certain characters that you know are going to pop up and make the dynamic of the team interesting. There's the rebellious hothead, who thinks he can do it on his own, or the reluctant leader unsure of his ability to lead the team, or there's dastardly second in command plotting the demise of the man he answers to. These characters as members of the team make the story more interesting because it isn't simply will the good team beat the bad guys, its will they be able to work together to do so? 2012's highest grossing film The Avengers has that kind of dynamic, teaming Norse God Thor who is a fish out of water, with an idealistic Captain America who hates teammate Tony Stark (Iron Man) and his snarky attitude, and finally throwing in a volatile and unpredictable element like The Hulk, makes your wonder not only will they defeat the evil forces they face, but can they survive each other and become a team?
This year at Wrestlemania, I suggested that the Miz be named to Team Teddy Long at Wrestlemania 28, after Johnny Ace decided he didn't want Miz on his team. The rest of Team Long would question the decision because Miz is a heel, and they'll think he's up to something nefarious. In the weeks leading up to the big Elimination Tag Team Match (which the match would have needed to be to make this work), Teddy Long would take his team through a series of trust building activities and retreats, trying to get his team to accept and work with Miz. Going into the match, you have a compelling story to tell, not only are people's jobs at stake, but you have the story of which side The Miz is really on, and can Team Long really trust him. The story can't jut be Team Babyface vs. Team Heel, there needs to be a story being told within the teams themselves. No team assembled works as perfectly as the WWE makes it seem they do.
What Can Be Done Differently This Year?
A lot can be done to update a classic premise and make the resulting story interesting and fun to watch play out. Force conflict within the teams themselves and give the WWE Universe something fun and unexpected. Here's an idea:
For this year's Traditional Survivor Series Multi-Man Tag Team Elimination Match, have the two teams compete amongst themselves in a Battle Royal the night the teams are announced that will determine the Team's Captain. So let's say the match is announced as Randy Orton, Zack Ryder, Kofi Kingston, Brodus, and Christian vs. Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Tensai, and Damien Sandow, that would mean on the night the teams are announced Orton, Ryder, Brodus, Christian, and Kofi would compete in a battle royal for captaincy of the team, and the same goes for the heels. Fans would expect Orton to win and claim the leadership role, but Kofi would surprise everyone and win the match and the captaincy.
Now you have an interesting Team Dynamic to play with. Orton can feel that he is the most accomplished of the members of his team and that he should be the obvious leader, but Kofi having earned being the captain will try to lead the team, causing the two to clash, The story will be can Randy put aside his ego long enough to let Kofi learn to lead. You could have the same kind of fun on the heel side, by having a guy like Sandow win the captaincy, and become a ruthless dictator, who takes delight in mercilessly whipping his team into tip-top shape and controlling their every move. He doesn't tolerate dissension or insubordination and thinks his method of control over his team will lead them to victory. A story needs to be told by each team leading up to the match, to keep interest high. If the superstars have conflicts and incentives to compete for, if an underdog steps up to become a leader, or any other interesting plot takes shape, Survivor Series can be every bit as "Big" as the other Big Four PPVs.
There you have it, but I want to know what you think? What are your thoughts on Survivor Series? What would you do to garner interest in the event again? What are some of your favorite Survivor Series teams?
I also have a big announcement to make. Going forward, my pieces will be posted on Tuesdays rather than Mondays! Was that as underwhelming as 90% of WWE TV's big announcements? Anyway, look for A Matter of Character and my other assorted weekly musings to be posted Tuesdays from now on.
Until next time, I'm Matty J. Douglas saying "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!" One More Week!

Top 12 Hottest Disney Princesses/Gals
You know they are hot. See how they fare if you think of them as relationship material. Who's your favorite?
A look at how Disney princesses would fare in a relationship.
You either grew up watching these beautiful princesses or you watched them come out when animation had barely hit the entertainment industry. Either way, you loved these Disney Princesses, you just never told anyone. It's a fact that every person must accept – these princesses are hot! Check out the countdown.
12. Snow White
She is the epitome of classic. She made her debut in the first full length animated film… well Snow White. However I find here style a little old for me maybe if she tanned a little bit and dyed her hair a different color than charcoal black I'd reconsider, but for now she is stuck at number 12.
11. Alice
This little girl is very curious, a very loveable attribute. However, the main issue is in the prior statement. She is a little girl, calling her anything more than a cute nice little blonde girl could get me some nice shiny cuffs and a bible for a lesson on moral decency. She is a little young for me; I wonder how long if she has grown up since she made her last film?
10. Wendy
Wonderful girl who knows how to take charge and is a natural leader. Again, there seems to be an issue with age though. I think of Wendy as nothing more than a kid who wants to be a grown up, or seems like an overbearing "I'm more mature than you kind of girl" – Pretty much a turn off. Plus I want a girl who's not going to fly off on me in the middle of the night with some guy dressed up in a green pajama suit and a bunch of boys who have just seen Bambi for the first time.
9. Mulan
Have you ever said to yourself? "Man, I want a girl that could just beat the crap out of me if she wanted to." Well, she got it. This girl has a lot to offer, her wisdom is off the charts and her beliefs are respectable. The lizard thing here would be the issue. Can anyone say privacy? That blasted lizard is all up in Mulan's business; tell him to go find some other girl along the family lines to stalk.
8. Aurora
This woman has it made. Beautiful, rich, tall, and blonde, with flocks of forest animals giving her that constant invitational feeling of nature, Perfect! The issue here would be longevity; I'm thinking my woman would be able to handle more than some enchanted prick on the finger before going down. Ya, I think that I'm definitely going to add that to my checklist. I don't want to have to go through no dragon to get to her either, that's a lot of effort. You feel me?
7. Cinderella
I find this girl to be totally awesome. Again beautiful blonde, with a fairy god mother to boot, plus she got them glass slippers. I wonder how much those would go for on eBay. She is the perfect diamond in the rough girl with a great personality. So why is she in the middle of the pack? This selection can be summed up using two words… Rat Infestation! Moving on.
6. Megara
Miss Independent, with that long brown hair. She has this charisma about her. Plus I'm just a sucker for brunettes so you'll find that my top selections are mostly brunette, sorry to all the blondes, they seem to be more eye catching but I can't trust them as much, plus there is that dumb blonde stereo type… anyway back to Meg, I can just see this girl making a deal behind my back that I would have to clean up. We can't all be gods like Mr. Muscles. She also is too outgoing, I like the shy girls.
5. Jasmine
She definitely has one of the best bodies of the princesses and is also in the top two for least amount of clothing. I would have the time of my life with her pet tiger if I wasn't scared to death that it would suddenly slash my throat and I would die a painful, bloody death. Her father is rich so that's a plus and she is very beautiful and apparently a fast learner. She doesn't quite rank as high however because her ability to take care of herself is limited to acting like she is in love with a guy and randomly kissing him while forgetting to take off her crown. Nobody makes out with a hat on… do they? She did have a trilogy though so snaps for Jasmine.
4. Ariel
Finally a red head. This princess I think has the best face of all of them; its just so small and round and… well gorgeous. She also ranks the highest on the lack of clothing meter for all those perverts who care about that stuff. She is never afraid to follow her dreams. Sacrifice which is very important and a demonstration of that has already been made when she gave up her life in the sea for her true love. She can sing like none other too which makes being around while she is taking a shower that much nicer. Why not number one? Her best friend is a fish. I'm sorry that just really bothers me.
3. Pocahontas
What a woman. Free-spirited, strong-willed, wise, and understanding, one can't ask for a lot more. Beautiful, just beautiful, as well as having great athleticism and being at one with nature; she has it all. She also being Native American would make life lots easier, helping start up that casino I've always wanted to cheat everyone out on their money with and help her kids get into college. Let's face it we screwed them over big time. She got plenty to offer which is why she makes the top three.
2. Jane Porter
This girl never ceases to amaze. She is very intellectual and patient, I mean try and teach Tarzan how to talk and act human. Stressful I'm sure. She is super pretty, brunette (again) and nice body. Her dad seems pretty cool and she has that awesome British heritage that is always so very sexy. Very compatible which slides her into the number two spot.
1. Belle
Finally the number one. Surprised? Probably, but if you knew me you wouldn't be that surprised. She is beautiful and brunette, shy, intelligent, caring, everything a family guy like me could ask for. Therefore she is flipping hot! She loves to read which really is not my thing, but it's definitely a turn on. I just like the passion. She's not out to flaunt her stuff either which is why I gave Jasmine and Ariel the heave. Plus she has the guts and patience to deal with the Beast. She just got it all in my eyes. She has this one hands down.
So, the guys over at Disney have drawn up some pretty nice animations for us over the years however I don't think this was the kind of image they were looking for. Oh well. I just care to look at things a little differently. How would you rank your top twelve?
I like this article, made me smile!
But what about Esmeralda?
Snow white and Cinderella would not be on my list… I would also have to include Esmeralda. She flaunts her stuff, but she\'s very compassionate and a real firecracker.
haha I loved this article! I agree with you on a lot although I would Defenatly put hot Jane Porter at nr.1 ;D
great list!
urora is the wimmer dum ass
with the exception of pocahonas .. i agree with most of them
haha belle wins
kida is first, chel is second
Belle should top all charts! She is sooo inspirational and doesn't sleep while her prince is out fighting a dragon(like sleeping beauty)!

Qantas Airways has signed a contract with US-based renewable energy company Solazyme to study the sustainability of algae-based aviation fuel.
Under the agreement, Qantas and Solazyme will work together for the next 12 months to develop a business case for the introduction of the fuel technology in Australia, says the carrier.
Qantas also has a similar arrangement with Washington DC-based Solena group for waste-based sustainable fuel.
The agreements are part of a review of clean fuel technology being carried out by Qantas as it seeks to identify partners in this area.
"The costs and environmental impacts associated with traditional jet fuel mean it is imperative that we push hard now for the commercialisation of alternative fuel sources," says Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce.
"Qantas will be assessing the feasibility of each of these technologies against stringent commercial and sustainability criteria."

Well, now that you mention it...yes.
The underlying social contract may well be lying so deep in Davy Jones' locker by now there's no salvaging it.
But why not send down the divers anyway... what have we got to lose?
Great link! Thank you!
Yes, it's odd, isn't it, watching and hearing someone civilized, talking simple common sense like that, about the things that matter most.
She can't possibly be a politician, can she?
I think she's our only star out there. It's such a relief to see and hear her, as you say. And yes, hard to imagine that she's a politician.

Mafia 2 - How to avoid being spoiled and disappointed
By kalmis 6 Comments
No Spoilers here. Thought I write my view on the Mafia 2 hype exprience before actually getting the game. For me the first Mafia is my all time favourite games. Especially the story was really good. And I still remember the ending clearly, like I've just played the game. Anyone who played the game knows that it wasn't a perfect game. Janky controls and uber annoying police to name few. Not that game needs to be perfect it to be good or to belong to a favourite games list. Anyway fast forward to Mafia 2.
I preordered the game as soon as the release date was revealed. Getting bit too old for getting too hyped about games now a days, but I can still say that I am looking forward to Mafia 2. The game was released in the NA three days earlier than in Europe and that was the same day when the embargo for reviews was lifted. I did skimp Brad's review of the game and as a Mafia game I fan I was bit dissapointed. Gameguru had a small news collating some of the major reviews as well. All and all the game seemed to get bit mediocre reviews. I did check Mafia 2 QL quickly but just two minutes because didn't want to get anything spoiled so stopped it, same happened with a last at1UP podcast when they started talking about Mafia 2. Strange thing here is that I am avoiding any details about the game that might get story ruined for me, but same time I am thinking about cancelling the pre-order because of the mediocre reviews?? Can't let story to spoiled but the review scores make me (think about) cancel the pre-order? In the end I want to experience the game myself. And write a own review about it anyway. Well I can't cancel the pre-order anymore since Play.com has dispathed the game allready, the same day embargo was lifted. Usually they dispatch the games two days before, but now three days.(?) Actually I am glad they did because that reminded that I need to stick to my guns regarding spoilers. And reviews.

Parental guidance recommended
Father and son team take on a derelict Annandale terrace. Toby Johnstone reports.PT1M22S http://news.domain.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-27h3p 620 349 October 12, 2012
Matthew Duffy and his then-fiancee, Alyce, weren't looking in Annandale when they went to buy their first home in 2008. As Duffy says: ''We thought it was a bit out of our price range.'' So when the terrace at 2 Collins Street came on the market at $425,000, they couldn't believe their luck. Since buying the property, the couple, now married, have transformed it from a one-bedroom terrace into an architect-designed three-bedroom house.
Next Saturday, they are saying goodbye to their first home and taking it to auction through Belle Property with a price guide of more than $800,000. So, the first question is what did $425,000 get you in Annandale back in 2008?
A perfect match
Renovate or Rebuild: Collins Street, Annandale
Family plan ... Matthew Duffy with his wife, Alyce, his builder father, Laurence, and architect brother Liam on the deck of the Annandale property they renovated. Photo: Wolter Peeters
The original house needed work and lots of it. Paint was peeling off the walls, the carpet could well have been a living organism, the kitchen comprised a sink and a stand-alone oven and it was dark no matter what the time of day.
''Personally, I was excited,'' Duffy says. ''I am a carpenter and my dad's a builder and my brother's an architect, so for me it was the perfect property, but for anyone else, well, there were holes in the floor, the render was falling off, it was small - so, yeah, it wasn't the most attractive property.''
Although the plan was to renovate, the young couple didn't have the budget following their purchase. So they made the property liveable and settled in. However, following some enticing valuations, the couple decided to take the unrenovated property with DA-approved plans to auction last year. When they fell well short of their reserve, they turned to their family for advice.
Dad's army
After the auction, Duffy's father, Laurence, a veteran builder, approached him and said he would invest in the renovation of the property. With DA-approved plans previously drawn up by Duffy's architect brother, Liam, they were able to start straight away. As with all renovations for sale, staying within the budget was one of the most important factors.
''We sort of had different opinions between my dad, my brother and myself about the budget,'' Duffy says.
''I was hoping for around the $300,000 mark. I think dad would have been the most conservative, he's had the most experience in that field.''
The speediness of the build was a factor that helped keep costs down - it took eight months, which is pretty impressive, considering the wet start to the year. The build also didn't dampen Duffy and his father's relationship.
''We work really well together, it was good to have his knowledge and I learnt a lot,'' Duffy says. ''We kept our cool, there were some disagreements but there are always disagreements in families anyway.''
Take two
The property going to auction on Saturday couldn't be more different to the one that passed in last year.
In fact, apart from one side wall, the house is, in effect, a new build.
Those who visit the property today are greeted by a fresh facade that is a modern take on the traditional Victorian aesthetic.
Upon entry you bypass a brick feature wall, which serves as an immediate throwback, before you hit the modern open-plan back of the property. As is the case with many contemporary homes, the kitchen is the star, with the living area and back outdoor-dining deck flowing on from it.
Of particular note is the clever use of space, essential for a property sitting on a 75 sq m block (smaller than many apartments).
The new bedroom upstairs provides a retreat for parents, while the back brick wall, which is actually part of the Piano Factory, gives the property an overall sense of privacy.
In a nutshell:
Time DA 10 months.
Construction Eight months.
Land size 76 square metres.
Internal size 80 square metres.
Architect Liam Duffy, Christopher Jordan Architecture and Design, 0432 495 388.
Builder Lawrence Duffy.
Green points
- The house now has new insulation.
- All lighting is LED.
- A lot more natural light.
Favourite feature
Duffy says: ''I love the light that we've managed to get into the property. We've got a nice, big open stairwell and skylights but I was just surprised at the amount of natural light we could actually bring into the place.''
Insider's tip
Duffy says: ''Expect things not to go as smoothly as you think they will. There are a lot of things which can make the job take longer and cost more, so be prepared for when these things happen.''
What went right
The build finished on schedule despite the wet weather.
What went wrong
Council easement underneath property required five council meetings.

Kip's Corner: Inside Bearcat Hoop
Last Week:
Willamette's season may have reached its low-point, as WU was swept at home for the first time by Whitworth College and Whitman College. After dropping a nail-biting overtime decision to the Pirates of Whitworth on Friday night, Whitman erased an early 25-15 deficit en route to their 2nd conference win of the season on Saturday. WU lost captain Harold Sublett, Jr. to yet another injury in the 2nd half of Friday's game, and suffered through a 4-26 3-pt shooting night on Saturday. The Bearcats, now 6-11 (3-5) on the season, must regroup in a hurry, as they take to the road for all but 2 of their remaining 8 games.
This Week:
WU travels to Tacoma, WA for weekend matchups with Pacific Lutheran University and conference co-leader the University of Puget Sound. WU blew-out the Lutes earlier in the season at Cone Fieldhouse, before dropping a close decision to the Loggers the following night. Both games are part of doubleheader action with the Bearcat women's team, and will tip-off at 8 pm.
About the Opponents:
Pacific Lutheran Lutes (5-12, 3-5)
The Lutes and coach Dave Harshman have rebounded from an early 82-44 drubbing by the Bearcats to post 3 conference wins on the season, including a defeat of Lewis and Clark in Portland. The Lutes have been paced on the season by Sudon DeSuze (10 ppg) and Michael Torbenson (10 ppg).
Puget Sound Loggers (13-3, 7-1)
A D3 Top 25 team all season long, the Loggers and coach Eric Bridgeland enter the weekend tied for the NWC lead with George Fox. Led by Jeremy Cross' 17 ppg, UPS places 6 players at or above 10 ppg. Chase Curtiss' 22 points helped the Loggers overcome WU in Salem earlier in the season.
A Closer Look at the Bearcats
-WU's two-sport athlete Michael Plank scored a career-high 10 points and pulled down 5 rebounds vs. Whitman on Saturday night. Plank doubles as a standout kick-returner for the Bearcats' football team.
-Todd Lewis recorded a 17 point, 12 rebound double-double on Friday night.
-WU has lost more game minutes to injury this season than at any other point in Coach Gordie James' career. Case in point, captain Harold Sublett, Jr. and preseason projected point guard Josh Erickson have spent a combined 27 games in street clothes throughout the course of the season. Friday's game may have been the capstone, as at one point in the second half, Sublett, Brennan Garrelts, and Henry Greeley were all unavailable to return to action.
-Despite the outcomes of the weekend games, WU garnered season highs in attendance on both nights.
-The Bearcats continue to lead the NWC in Scoring Defense, Assists, and Assist to Turnover Ratio.

Do I smell the aroma of jealousy in the air ? I am thinking , Auburn has monetary contributors to their programs as well. I believe Chip Kelly has been the mastermind behind the Ducks accomplishments over the last couple of years. See you at Glendale, game on.
Go Ducks.
maybe you should apply for his position, to ensure the Beaver's dominate the PAC 12 next year. Sounds like you have all the answers.
probably not a very well coached football team !
You might want to talk with your offensive coordinator for the Beavers, or better yet, the head coach.
If the occasion arises in the future, game day will be back.
This can and does go on everywhere in our society today. Quit pointing fingers.
And what college did you graduate from ? I would hate to think it was in Law.
well said.
You too? How is it so many can point the finger and say guilty without knowing.
Guilty until proven innocent? Glad you are not on any jury of mine.
Could it be..........a disgruntled Beaver fan, Lee Corso's arch enemy (can't believe he would have any), a Duck fan headed to the NC game at Glendale (how could one be such a moron to wear a stolen Duck mascot head at the game), or some greedy fool thinking they have stolen a valuable momento in a lame attempt to auction it off somewhere in the future as the first ever 12 - O Duck team heads to the NC to try and claim their first ever national title.
For which ever reason this was done, it reflects badly on the Beavers and their first ever game day at Reser stadium. Someone out there knows who did this moronic deed, ask them to take the high road and return the mascot's head to it's rightful owners.
Well Benny Beaver, there was lots of talk for the last year, same outcome, another Oregon win, and another Beaver loss. So much for the Beaver kicking our butts!
I was amazed at the amount of missed opportunities the Beaver let slide by them during the game. The outcome could of been much closer, but what else could we expect! The coaching staff for Benny Beaver is mediocre at best, they are willing to accept three and out, or settle for a field goal versus a touchdown. That alone has to hurt, especially when there is one chance to win and only 60 minutes of play, or yet to wait another year.
When you have the talent of a football team like the Oregon Ducks and the coaching staff to go along with it, that's a tough team to beat. It looks like the Ducks are recruiting well, and if all goes up hill from here for the Duck it looks like a long road ahead for the Beaver unless something drastic happens at OSU.
Better luck next year Beavers !
you are trying to read to much into this, try reading a comic book for a while
that is a great comment, best i've read in a long long time.
Why don't you send in your resume to the AD at OSU. Seems like you have plenty of time right now over the next 30 to 45 days to negotiate out a contract with the AD ! It also seems like your pretty flexible about your monetary payments. Instead of the college paying you $450k per year, why don't you take on the challenge for a base of about $100k per year, with a bonus when you get the Beavers into a PAC 12 champion ship game with an additional bonus for winning and going onto play at the Rose Bowl or the NC.
You sound like you're full of hot air to me, and you're most likely Beaver-less-nutz, if you get what I mean!
two balls, and osheepu
why don't both of you shut up and the comments column would be better off.
don't speak unless you have something complimentary, you both look like idiots for the comments the both of you post.
how can anyone get wound up about what colors a team wears on their football uniforms? makes no sense to me, a waste of time if you think about it.
for what it's worth, anyone who has been up close to a duck and observed the colors, there are a myriad of colors on any duck, including all white!
who says the Oregon football team has to stay with yellow and green ? how boring is that.
glad to see the Ducks have so many variations in their uniforms, it keeps one guessing what they are going to wear. and for what it's worth, many of the east coast fans love the Ducks,
keep going.
Go Ducks,
earlier this week i posted a strong dislike for the cliff harris comment, big brother, little brother, and now another comment about looking onto the national championship. coach kelly had a talk with him about the comments.
result so far, beavers 7 , ducks 6. end of 1st quarter. looks like #13 has had a little trouble so far, the ball was stripped from "nachos and cheese" for a fumble on the return.
way to go cliff harris.
see you at the end of the second quarter.
no predicitons, just saying.
you missed the point dave, boob stoops is complaining about his challenges, i was using the weather as an example, maybe a poor choice on my part. stoops has all of the tools the other coaches do, he needs to stop complaining and look at what he does have and how he can overcome his own obstacles to claim a pac 12 title.
i appreciate your comments back, and i do agree with your statements, it does go deeper than the weather.
is a bird in the hand worth two in the bush ? does a woodchuck chuck wood ? will the duck fly south leaving the beaver to dream what if .....

@Input Overload
You clearly have no idea what your talking about. Also, since when does AIM destroy a persons computer? Beta or Not. That's just stupid.... Plus there are "apps" available that remove Ads from this program.
Reviewing 220.127.116.11 (Jan 8, 2011)
I'm disappointed in AOL - this version doesn't ask your permission, it just installs its toolbar and hijacks your browser homepage settings.
This is a major change from previous releases, and one that leaves me unable to recommend that you install it. There are better multi-platform clients such as Digsby or Trillian out there, and they're honest about what they install.

The Press Release is available online as well as below:
GoGrid Continues Global Expansion With New European Data Center
Leading Cloud Provider to Deliver Integrated Cloud Infrastructure Services Globally
San Francisco, Calif., February 3, 2011 – GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure provider, today announced plans to open a new data center facility in Europe in the summer of 2011. The expansion represents a significant step in the company's global expansion strategy to accommodate growing demand for cloud computing outside of the U.S. GoGrid's regional presence will provide IT professionals, developers and organizations with fully integrated, on-demand infrastructure services available across the globe.
GoGrid has uniquely architected its cloud technology for seamless deployment around the globe with unlimited scalability. GoGrid leverages a common architecture footprint that ensures functionality and performance consistency in any region or data center. When launched in Europe, GoGrid will deliver a feature-complete solution via a single management portal. Customers can create, manage and deploy robust cloud solutions in any of GoGrid's various data centers all within GoGrid's web-based portal or programmatically via an Application Programming Interface (API).
"As we continue aggressively pursuing our global expansion efforts as a result of our tremendous growth in 2010, we remain committed to providing the easiest and most robust cloud infrastructure services to our customers around the world," said John Keagy, founder and chief executive officer of GoGrid. "GoGrid's cloud operating stack was designed and built from the ground up for this expansion. Unlike some other leading cloud providers that require multiple log-ins for each location, we deliver a seamless experience for managing global infrastructure through a single 'pane of glass'".
In a recent global study conducted by Gartner Research*, key findings indicate that "adoption of cloud computing is underway in all European regions surveyed and will accelerate during the next 18 months." By establishing a presence in Europe, GoGrid will provide regional customers with one of the industry's most reliable cloud infrastructure services backed by the most comprehensive 100% guaranteed service level agreement of cloud infrastructure providers. In addition to its upcoming European location, GoGrid also maintains existing data centers in San Francisco, Calif., and Ashburn, VA and also plans to expand to Asia in Q4 of 2011.

Kramer-Lifemark life settlement case: Too much fanfare?
By Erez Rotem
Integrity Life Solutions
The attention the life settlement community is giving the famous New York Kramer case, arguments for which were recently heard in the highest court in the state, would cause you to think the ruling will have huge repercussions in the life settlement industry. This author, admittedly unaware of the intricacies of the case, wonders whether all the hoopla is due.
Life settlement laws abound. Nearly 45 jurisdictions, including New York state quite recently, enacted comprehensive legislation covering the life settlements and STOLI arenas. The New York law, which seemed to take effect only after the facts of the Kramer case unfolded, covers the legal issues presented in the case. Had the law been in place at the time the Kramer initiated the transactions, the law likely would have prevented them, or at least made them illegal. Arthur Kramer — an attorney himself, ironically — as reported, purchased a $10 million in life insurance policy and put it in trust for his kids. Soon after, Kramer directed the family to sell the beneficial interest of said trusts to Lifemark for $1.9 million.
By the way, this is not a paltry sum, amounting to almost 20 percent of face value. No doubt, the investors were aware of Kramer's shortened life expectancy, and that is why they were willing to pay such a high percentage. As Kramer passed in 2008, the Kramer family would have been better off keeping the policy, if that indeed was even an option. One might believe, however, given our knowledge of how things are done or at least were done in this field, and what has been reported, that this is a pure case of STOLI — in which all the parties, except perhaps the carrier, had the unified intent of acquiring the policy for pecuniary gain through an investment.
Why all the fuss now? The New York state Legislature and his honor the lame duck Governor Patterson spoke out in their infinite wisdom, and they actually got together to get something done! Why not rely on this newly enacted law for total guidance? I suppose the parties here are entitled to their day in court. The court, as reported, was searching for a victim. Who is the victim in this case? Hard to find.
My first choice for victim is the investment company. A deal was made by the Kramer family, and even if the so-called beneficiaries of the trusts were not aware of the transactions made by the now deceased father, shouldn't they be held to those agreements? And should they not be held to their own actions of selling away the benefit interest? Here the old adage, "Ignorance of the law — or of the legal repercussions of your own actions — is no excuse," should be applied. The father made the deal, and what gives the family the right to undo that deal now? If the father had unclean hands, as it were, such lack of cleanliness ought to be imputed to the rest of the family, should it not?
Furthermore, the insured and original sinner, Arthur Kramer, an attorney, either knew or should have known of the requirement of insurable interest, and this knowledge should have been imputed to the family. Maybe they should all have taken our CE and CPE free course and educated themselves.
On the flip side, the investors were certainly equally aware of the legal requirements of insurable interest. Since I believe that both parties are equally at fault or guilty of wrongdoing, sitting as a judge I would not change the bargained for result.
That begs the question, "What about the carrier?" Should the policy even be honored? I believe that if the insured died outside of contestability, then the carrier is just out of luck. Exceptions for rules of contestability ought not be made and likely will not be made in the state of New York. It also does not appear that this is an issue confronted by the court. Phoenix, the carrier here, is reportedly willing to make payment.
Bottom line: This is a poor precedent and, in that manner, an unimportant decision given the parties in the scenario are both tainted with some form of illicit conduct. The court can rule either way, but let's look to state statute to govern our behavior, not to case precedent, especially when the facts do not present a good guy–bad guy dichotomy. What we have here is just … gray.

The best classic cars offer a better return on investment than traditional asset classes like luxury real estate.
A recent study by global real estate advisor Knight Frank discovered that cars like Ferraris, Bugattis and Bentleys increased their value by 21% over the last six months and by 28% over the last year. By comparison, prime real estate in central London grew by 7% in the last 12 months and gold saw a 23% decline.
"Classic cars we already doing well when we ran the index at the beginning of the year but I am slightly surprised they would continue to go up so much," says Andrew Shirley, who carried out the study.
Knight Frank found that most passion-led investments—from fine wine to jewellery, coins and stamps—performed very well in the last ten years, rising by an average 174%. This is somewhat higher than the 135% increase recorded by prime central London's real estate and significantly more than the 55% growth seen by the FTSE 100 (the index tracking the 100 top companies listed on the London Stock Exchange London Stock Exchange) in the same period.
Classic cars led the pack with a staggering 430% rise in value, outpacing even gold, which was by far the best-performing mainstream asset with a 273% increase in value since 2003.
However, warns Shirley, "we are only talking about the very best, most desirable cars. It's a very rarefied market."
The same is true of stamps, which were the second fastest growing collectable asset, with a 255% rise in ten years. "The very top end of the market really grew, although it doesn't mean that the collection you started as a schoolboy would have gone up as much," notes Mr Shirley.
Art and antique furniture are the only passion investments that have taken a battering in the last six months. But while antiques have consistently lost value (down 19% over the last decade), art has been highly volatile and, overall, has risen by 183% since 2003. "Before the credit crunch, the art market was going 'bonkers', while now it reflects a more careful approach: people are more selective," explains Shirley.
Generally, however, the outlook for collectable assets remains robust—Knight Frank expect their index will continue to grow strongly. "The fascinating thing is that people now view these passion investments as safe havens," says Shirley. "Interestingly, gold, which has traditionally been a safe haven, is not doing so well lately, and may get to a point, over ten years, in which some other asset classes will start to compare with it. "
The success of passion assets is such that Shirley knows some people who have recently bought stamps purely for investment reasons: "
They have no interest in them whatsoever." Nonetheless, it is not an approach he'd recommend. "You shouldn't buy a passion asset just because it may grow in value—it should also bring you pleasure."

Azemour Les Orangers opens with sour orange peel and tart grapefruit – the juiciness is mouthwatering, and almost photorealistic paired with the greenery of cypress. It sounds repetitive but it really is the scent of your fingers after peeling an orange – maybe some aldehydes up top lifting those citrus notes into something flourescent and juicy.
It settles relatively quickly though, the orange still lovely, but the almost resinous greenery and warm cumin underneath turning Azemour a little more "cologne-y". The cumin isn't sweaty and overdone, and the orange remains become prickled with pepper.
The citrus fruit becomes more citrus floral – a bright neroli and orange blossom along with a big hit of rose come off quite dandy – without the lavender. The floral trio is relatively tame on the skin – after the gleaming opening the heart is soft and delicate in comparison. The orange blossom and neroli carry the citrus theme but for me, the rose comes off strongest. In fact, I grow Charles Darwin roses which are bright yellow and have a lemon-y tea like rose scent, and Azemour smells like it carries this aroma.
The greenery of the cypress lasts from start to finish, along with a subtle, bitter oakmoss. The chypre base of Azemour is extremely subtle on my skin – when I heat it, or breathe deep above the scent, it seems like there is a whole other world of complexity under there which just isn't strong enough to come out on its own. There's a rich, grassy hay, dry and brittle – along with a suede-y leather that gives it a plush "brown" colour – earthy and slightly animal, along with the remains of the dry spice of cumin and pepper. Maybe in hot weather, all this would erupt on my skin and it would be a perfect summer scent. For now, the opening is the part I keep craving, with a tame but enjoyable, classic bitter green drydown – the subtle florals thankfully steering Azemour clear from soap and powder.
Azemour is a good citrus/floral/chypre – it doesn't quite have the bold personality on my skin I'd hoped, but it is a very easy, versatile wear (words that wouldn't normally appeal to me), that manages to stand greater than many other house's signature citrus colognes.

CHURUBUSCO — While many teams are settling in to the 2012 season, learning what works for this year's team — and what doesn't — one thing hasn't changed for Churubusco. When the Eagles take the field, they're going to win.
In fact, out of the last 36 regular season games 'Busco has played, the Eagles have only lost three — just one on their home field.
Friday night's contest against Prairie Heights was no different, as Churubusco's offense racked up 42 points, and the defense held the Panthers scoreless.
Though the 42-point performance by the offense may seem like the highlight — 'Busco's true spotlight was the defense, which not only held Prairie Heights to no yards in the first quarter and 10 in the first half, but kept the Panthers from getting a first down until 6:46 left in the fourth quarter, after the reserves had taken the field.
"The defense played outstanding," Churubusco Head Coach Lee Etzler said. "We were hitting them pretty hard."
Churubusco scored all but one of its touchdowns in the first half, and only had three possessions in the second half, as the coaches agreed to use a running clock, speeding up the game.
Churubusco is back in action next week at Eastside.View more articles in:

Ed Cowan is happy with the way his partnership with David Warner is going at the top of the order for Australia, and believes they will continue to improve.
Cowan and Warner have opened together in 11 Tests, and will team up again in the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka. And Cowan says the secret to their success is working for each other and putting their individual ambitions to one side.
He said: "Cricket isn't about how many runs I get or how many runs he gets.
"I know if I don't get any runs, (the media) are going to fire a few bullets or, if he doesn't get runs, you're going to fire bullets.
It feels as though there is lots of upside there. Hopefully if we both keep improving the way we are, then it can be a long-term thing.Ed Cowan
It feels as though there is lots of upside there. Hopefully if we both keep improving the way we are, then it can be a long-term thing.
"But it's about partnerships. If he's 60 and I'm five and we've had a 65-run partnership, we're doing a fantastic job."
Cowan, who has scored a century and five half-centires in tests, feels there is room for improvement in the partnership.
"If you asked us what we thought, we'd probably say we're going OK," Cowan said.
"It feels as though there is lots of upside there. Hopefully if we both keep improving the way we are, then it can be a long-term thing."
He added: "We're learning to bat with each other and that's part of it.
"Just understanding when he's going, not to rein it in on my behalf, but when to feed him strike or to try and keep him away from strike if he's getting a little too excited."
Cowan feels he was a different player from Warner, saying: "I'm a thinking player and he's a feel player.
"You just let him go and bat. He's analytical in his own way but one of his strengths is, when he's playing well, he's very clear in how he plays well."
Australia are 1.61 to win the second Test, with Sri Lanka priced at 6.00. Michael Clarke is 3.60 to be Australia's top first innings batsman.
