Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), noun [OE. light, liht, AS. le['i]ht; akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth. liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[=o]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine, Gr. leyko's white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid}, {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]
1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered visible or luminous.
Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles per second; but it is now generally understood to consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether, assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in electrical oscillations, and is known as the electro-magnetic theory of light.

I had an interesting dream today around noon. I was sleeping in bed since 5 p.m. on Monday, the previous day. I went to bed around 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, but unfortunately, I failed to fall asleep. I remained alert in bed trying to fall asleep until 5 p.m. that day, when I finally fell asleep and slept until around 12:15 p.m. today, which is why I guess the dream happened around noon.
This morning I had totally awesome higher power superpower dreams.
It started off in my first and last childhood home where I was in a really weird altered state and my brother and Dad didn't trust me with anything dangerous. I was standing in the kitchen. They were in the dining room. While in my altered state, I tried to explain to them that I knew what danger was. I used the stove as an example. I explained that the burner was hot and the pilot light had to stay lit or otherwise gas would escape and catch fire.
It was nighttime.
Then there was a super loud electrical arcing noise coming from what sounded like miles away. Just super loud electrical sparking type noise. So Dad and I went to investigate. We drove several blocks and about half a mile through residential neighborhoods until we found a military zone full of security guards, then we found the source of the noise.
There was a huge gigantic antenna about 300 feet tall that had been built behind the backyard of a house in the grass of the elementary school schoolyard. Somehow then we were behind the house in the schoolyard, close enough to see the flashes of light coming from inside the house and that the sparks were being channeled through a ducting system that was connected to an amplifier unit and broadcast in all directions through some kind of ultra, ultra loud and elaborate public address system in the schoolyard, as well as through the radio antenna.
There was a military cop that greeted us. Dad had a black Colt .45 semi-automatic pistol and I had a small silver-colored .22 semi-automatic pistol with a wooden grip. The cop asked us if we had permits for the guns. Dad said he did but that I didn't. The MP asked for my gun. I handed it to him without resistance, but felt really stupid after the fact because I gave it to him barrel first - unfortunately pointed in his general direction. He took it without incident, but I felt embarrassed for not pointing the barrel toward the ground in the process.
Then we tried to figure out what the gigantic antenna was for. Dad guessed that it was classified but he said he thought it had something to do with extending the range of antennas at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Then we drove to Vandenberg and when we arrived it was suddenly daytime. It was clear that there was something big going on. There were all kinds of advanced rotorless aircraft flying around really slowly and low to the ground.
Dad and I and my brother and one of his friends were in a van. We saw a helicopter-like aircraft fly really low by us and we could see the pilot through the windows. It was a really beautiful woman with medium length blonde hair. She wasn't wearing a helmet.
Then all of sudden, the beautiful woman was in the van with us. She explained that she was able to sneak up on us without a sound and enter the van without even opening the door. She explained that they had advanced nanotechnology and the ability to move and reassemble atoms very quickly.
Then she took us to a place where there were spaceships from aliens and they said that we were selected as part of a small group of people that would now go with the aliens. She took us inside one of the alien spaceships.
The inside of the spaceship took us to another world that was filled with ancient hieroglyphics and giant aliens.
They explained that they had been looking for a human god to control the spaceship, and I naturally didn't want the job because I had so many flaws and limitations. Then they took me to the alien god who was in charge of the spaceship. He said, "This is for you and your list of limitations."
I was trying to explain to Dad that they had advanced nanotechnology and that they could do anything to us and then return us to perfect health. I tried to explain that there was nothing to fear because we were backed-up.
Then we were in a giant building that went on forever and it was filled with sleeping mummies that were starting to come back to life in perfect health. I remember saying that I would like to be the walls and floor of that building.
Suddenly all the walls to the whole building turned into solid gold, and all the floors turned into gold colored marble with an interesting continuous grain. It was all beautiful.
Then the aliens started demonstrating that they could kill us and revive us to perfect health, even better than we were before. They killed me and revived me and I never lost consciousness.
Then things started attacking us. There was some kind of dog like creature running towards me. I just stood there waiting to see what would happen, knowing that I would be fine. Then a group of four aliens were coming towards me. Again, I stood my ground and didn't run.
They attacked me and did some damage then quickly called off their attack and walked away slowly and peacefully, and I was repaired to full health. The whole process was painless and I never lost consciousness.
A bunch of stuff happened that is escaping my memory, but the last words of the dream were from the inside of a golden palace and the leader of the aliens said to me, "You're immortal soul is with us, the angels."
Then I woke up.

I was on a sidewalk along the beach and there were vendor stands and there was an outdoor club that was having a party.
A gorgeous woman at a stand walked over to me and kissed me on the lips. I was suddenly turned on. She said something like, "I want to have a test."
Right after that a small group of 3 people to my right came over and started talking to me.Somehow I forgot about the beautiful woman and I went with the group to the outdoor club and there was a cover charge. They said we could come in temporarily without paying a cover. She gave me a little sticker. I didn't have a shirt on.
I went to the back of the club and there were some racks of clothes. I was looking for a T-shirt. Then I went to another room and there was a large yellow T-shirt on a hangar in the middle of an otherwise empty rack. I put it on.
On my way back outside, I saw a full length mirror on a wall and could see that I looked really fat, as my stomach was sticking out. Then somebody said the T-shirt was dirty and smelled like body odor. I smelled it and agreed. I took it back and put it back on its hangar. I went to the back and found some brand new T-shirts that were on sale. I put one on and it fit loosely. Then I went outside.
I went to the person who was checking tickets and asked her what I was supposed to do with the sticker. She said I should just put the sticker on and not worry about paying a cover charge.
Then there was a little guy at a desk just to my left selling breath mints. Remembering having gotten the kiss from the beautiful woman, I decided to buy some breath mints. When I was handing the guy a couple of quarters, I dropped one. When I looked down on the ground in the dirt, there were lots of other quarters and nickels and dimes on the ground. I began collecting them. I dug a little bit more into the dirt and there were more quarters.
Then the phone rang and I woke up. It was the Highline Bookstore letting me know that my books and parking pass are ready.
I really had cool FANTASY dreams this morning.
In one, I was in a library and there was a section where every book was an interesting and novel and revealing look at thinking and being creative. The books were magical. The illustrations were all beautiful and complex.
I got a handful of the books.
Then I took them to my warehouse loft apartment in the dream.
There was a woman there.
In one part of the dream I was explaining to the woman that I was really smart but that I had a disability. I said originally I thought that I could do whatever I set my mind to, but because of my disability, I would have to focus on FANTASY instead of math and science and programming and SECURITY.
Then I went outside of the loft to the roof of the building. There was a 4-foot diameter circular hole going through the roof to a lower floor. When I stood over the hole, it went on forever, there was like a lighted crystalline miniature city in the hole. Everything was really fragile. I reached down with my right hand and touched a miniature lighted skyscraper and it tipped over and came to rest at an angle against another miniature lighted skyscraper.
Then a demon being came out of the hole and took me over. Suddenly, I looked like the demon being, and my real body appeared separately. The demon being said that we were going to be in switched bodies for 30 days.
Then there was one part of the dream where I realized that it had been 2 weeks since I had contacted my family. I wanted to call my Dad. Suddenly there was a huge rectangular video screen that appeared about 10 feet in front of me. It must have been about 15 feet across. Some phone numbers appeared and they telepathically said to me that they were calling Dad. But the numbers were in a different format than Dad's number. I explained to them that my Dad's number was in a different format. Then they decided that we would go there instead.
Suddenly I was in a car on 4 lane freeway headed North towards my Dad's house. A young kid was behind the wheel. The kid didn't know how to drive and we were weaving all over the place in heavy traffic. It was very dramatic and alarming. Finally, we pulled off at an offramp and ended up standing on a hill above some church grounds. There was an old wooden church house at the bottom of the hill. We were about 200 feet away from the door of the church and there was another 4-foot diameter circular hole in the ground about 5 foot from the front door of the church. The kid fired an Estes rocket toward the hole, it flew through the air but landed on the edge of the hole and caught on fire. It just kept burning. Then the hole was filled with dirty slushy snow and something started raising out of the ground.
It was a green alien lizard/humanoid being with big yellow eyes. He complained that he wanted to be left to rot in his eternal sleep and didn't want to be woken up.
Those are the details that I can remember.
When I woke up, I felt like I had just had a great FANTASY dream.
I had really cool dreams this morning, but unfortunately I don't remember much of them.
I interacted with many beautiful intelligent characters, male and female, and they all said with great enthusiasm and empathy but gently apologetically as if sorry to disappoint that they were me. "We're You!", they said excitedly but with a tinge of sadness at the implications for my sense of loneliness.
In one part of the dream an invisible dream guide was testing my dream hearing. He was talking to me in sentences over and over again at different levels of volume, down to a point where I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, then up to a point where I could hear him again. He would say a sentence, then I'd repeat it back to him, until I couldn't quite make the sentences out anymore because they were too muted. It's like he was testing my internal dialog volume level to determine the lowest level that I could perceive. Subliminals. Calibrations. Very interesting. I wonder what they're up to.

Take Action around 'Girl Model'
- Partner with a community organization that focuses on girls (e.g., a local Girls Inc. chapter) to host a screening and a discussion about the relationship between fashion, body image and girls' self-esteem.
- Include a panel of experts in media, modeling or body image to support a discussion and to offer strategies for resisting unhealthy media messages or peer pressure.
- Using examples of ads from the galleries at About-Face or the Library of Really!?!at Powered By Girl or ads that your group has collected, create and post counter-ads that help people think more deeply about portrayals of women and girls. You can find ideas for other types of media activism at www.sparksummit.org.
- Identify groups like FAIR Girls that help girls escape from human trafficking and related exploitative situations. Find out what you can do to support their work.
- Invite a representative from a state or local consumer protection office to speak to your group, school or organization about modeling agency scams.
- Together with women's studies faculty from a local college or university, host a mother-daughter event that creates a safe space for women and girls to learn about the historical roots of the emphasis on women's appearance and the people who make money from current messages about beauty.
- Carefully look through the images in your favorite fashion magazine. Estimate the average age of the models. How many images include young girls modeling clothing for women? Talk about why designers would choose to use children to showcase women's wear. What does that choice say about how society feels about actual women and aging?
Get informed about the issues in the film and lead a discussion in your community.
Girl Model strips away the façade of the modeling industry by following two people whose lives intersect because of it. Ashley is a deeply conflicted American former model-turned-scout. Thirteen-year-old Nadya, plucked from a remote Siberian village and promised a lucrative career in Japan, is her latest discovery. As the young girl searches for glamour and an escape from poverty, she confronts the harsh realities of a culture that worships youth—and an industry that makes perpetual childhood a globally traded commodity.
Girl Model's disturbing look behind the curtain raises important questions about responsibility that go beyond the people we see on screen. Viewers are confronted with a reality that forces all of us to ask who creates the demand for these models and who is responsible for their well-being. As an outreach tool, the film is an excellent springboard for discussions about the culture of fashion and the role its values play in our lives, media and economy.
In this lesson, students will engage in an in-depth discussion that examines the demand in the advertising industry for thin models under the age of 18 and the impact that this practice has on the body images of consumers.
This list of fiction and nonfiction books, compiled by Penny Talbert and Rebecca Zinner of Ephrata Public Library, provides a range of perspectives on the issues raised by the POV documentary Girl Model.

I was wondering how I could add small image bullets before the links in my sidebar.
I know you can insert an image as the entire link, but I want to keep my text links and just use custom bullets for each of my friends on my blogroll.

Off the top of my head you can write code for Unity using C# or Javascript. Unity is designed as a full game engine and development environment that you can import objects into and attach scripts to. It isn't intended to be included into other programs, so it is unlikely that it would be useful in a C++ or Java project.

Unity supports 3 scripting languages - Javascript (I call it UnityScript as its modified for use with Unity), C# (no modifications, Microsoft C# 3.0 .NET framework) and Boo (similar to Python). You can use any of these for coding with Unity, Javascript is preferred as its easier to use (even the example game provided is made in it).

Using Javascript is probably the best idea if you don't have that much coding experience. C# gives you more flexibility though and I've done all of my Unity projects in C#, it works pretty well. It is possible to mix all three languages in one project, but I wouldn't recommend that as itgets confusing and you have to switch between languages constantly.
You can have a look at the tutorials page: http://unity3d.com/s...rces/tutorials/
Those should get you started.

Hello All,
Having gotten a bunch of holders w my camera, I tested them for light leaks w paper and most of the wooden ones leak from the loading flap side, none from the darkslide side. One has torn tape holding the flap, but the others have intact tape. What's the best way to fix these leaks? Do they usually have to do w wood that doesn't fit together right after all these years, or is it usually tape-related? All help appreciated,

President Prasad?
And so to the RIBA council itself, where there were several nice tributes to Richard Feilden and Michael Highton, followed by a oneminute silence. One of the most noticeable aspects of council these days is the growing stature of Sunand Prasad, CABE commissioner and founding partner of Penoyre and Prasad, who was only elected relatively recently. More than one councillor gave the impression that we might well be looking at Jack Pringle's natural successor as president. It's extraordinary how fast the transformation has been from angry young man to establishment figure. . .

Apple, others chastised for licenses
02/20, 6:40pm
software agreements
The UK National Consumer Council (NCC) has called for increased, regulated mitigation of what it calls practices by software companies that "mislead computer users into signing away legal rights," -- including Apple. The organization is asking the European Commission to extend the scope of the Consumer Sales and Sales Guarantees Directives to include digital contracts and license agreements. NCC says its research reveals that software rights-holders are shifting the legal burden onto consumers who buy computer software, leaving them with less protection, providing companies an "unfair advantage over consumers."

IMB Missions Emphasis video
We are so THANKFUL for those of you who have faithfully and regularly prayed for the people of Hunan! As the pioneer Missionary to inland China stated;
"You must go forward on your knees."
We certainly believe that to be true, so in this month of Thanksgiving, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for the many times you have gone before the Most High with petitions on behalf of the people of Hunan, China!
November is often a busy month for many of you, with Thanksgiving and the beginning of the holiday 'season'. However in Hunan, November really has no cultural celebrations or traditions. The 70 million people of Hunan largely went about their lives with almost no awareness of the Creator and the blessings that He has provided for them. Continue reading
Jishou is in the northwest of central China's Hunan Province, at the eastern foot of Wuling Mountain. It is the capital of the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Nationalities Autonomous Prefecture. The tourism in this area strongly features the customs of the Miao ethnic group.
The Tujia and Miao ethnic minorities account for 85% of this area's population and many of them still maintain their traditional ways. They have their own festivals and rituals held at set times to pray for blessings or to make sacrifices to their ancestors. Though they pray and offer sacrifices, they do not know the One who can answer their prayers and they offer their sacrifices in vain. Continue reading
China's "National Day" was celebrated during the month of October. Think "4th of July" in America and add a Chinese twist, and that is basically what people all over Hunan and China celebrated during the first week of October.
The "People's Republic of China" was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Since then, October 1st has been officially designated as China's 'National Day'. Continue reading
In the north of China's south-central province of Hunan lies the lion-shaped city of Yiyang. The population of greater Yiyang is 4.5 million. The population inside the city proper is 1.3 million.
Yiyang's history can be traced back 2000 years to the Qin Dynasty. Since it is located at the junction of the Zi River, the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, water transport helped to quickly make it a booming town. As land transportation increased, Yiyang's prosperity ended. Today Yiyang has a mostly agricultural economy, with rice, tea and bamboo being the key crops. Continue reading
Dear Prayer Partners,
We are so grateful for the many men and women of faith who have been consistently lifting up the people of Hunan, China in their prayers before God. We are convinced that a great movement of the Holy Spirit among the people of Hunan will not be the result of a planning meeting. Just as it was for Pentacost, it will be birthed in a prayer meeting! The men and women who responded to the gospel in September have been directly affected by the prayers of saints, offered up from all over the globe! Hallelujah!
On the 19th of September, people in Hunan and all over Asia, celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival (sometimes called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival). During this holiday, the making and sharing of "mooncakes" is one of the hallmark traditions. In Chinese culture, a round shape symbolizes completeness and unity. Thus, the sharing of round mooncakes among family members signify the completeness and unity of families. Sadly, most of the 70 million people of Hunan are separated from their Heavenly Father because of their sin and have no idea how to restore this most important of relationships and bring true unity to their families.
There is a remnant in Hunan, small groups of Christ followers are scattered across the province. Continue reading
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known by other names, such as:
Mid-Autumn Festival is a good opportunity for Chinese Christians to get to know the people living around them and to talk about their families with neighbors and friends. While talking about this, they can also tell them about the family they have been adopted into because of their relationship with their Heavenly Father. This is a special family which will last into eternity because of the hope they have in Jesus and their relationship with Him.
Prayer Starters:
In the south-central province of Hunan lies the city of Zhuzhou (ju-joe). Zhuzhou, with its slightly more than one million people, is a key transportation hub for rail and highway in this part of China. As an industrial city, Zhuzhou's skies are often gray and her river, the XiangJiang, is polluted. As pollution often hides the sun, sin covers peoples' eyes and hides the Son, yet they don't know it.
Zhuzhou is a mere one-hour drive from the capital city of Changsha. The city proper is densely populated, but just outside the city limits are vast rice fields. More and more people escape to the countryside for the weekends to get away from the stress of the city. Continue reading
In China's south-central Hunan province lies the capital city of Changsha. This city occupies 4600 square miles in the east of Hunan and is home to approximately three million people. The outskirts of the city include another 3 million. Hunan, once dubbed the "Land of Rich and Fish (or "a land flowing with milk and honey"), is known for its agricultural produce. The people who live here are mostly Han Chinese.
Changsha has been important from the time of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC) and even as early as AD 750-1100 Changsha was an important commercial city. It has been the capital city of Hunan since 1664. Changsha has been the site of many battles over the years, and was briefly occupied by the Japanese. Continue reading
Dear Prayer Partners,
August in Hunan was one of the hottest summers in recent memory. In fact, the temperatures stayed in the upper 90′s and lower 100′s the entire month! Because of the heat, the normal routines of life for many were interrupted as people tried to accomplish outside tasks early in the morning and late at night.
In city squares and urban park areas across the province, people gathered late into the night to socialize and escape the sufocating heat. Often the temperatures in people's apartments remained stifling hot well into the evening, making it more comfortable to be outside than inside. This gave many of Hunan's Christians an opportunity to interact with thousands of their neighbors and share about the hope and freedom that can be found in Jesus Christ. Continue reading

Nice with skirts
I like these and will keep them. The fit is a bit different than what I am used to in Munro 10 N. Slightly wider in the heels and snug in the toes. That being said even though my heels slide up a bit them the shoes don't rub blisters. I can wear them all day in a job where I am on my feet a lot.
Good stylish and comfortable shoe
Wearing for work.
Love them!
Great fit. Very comfortable.
Beautiful shoes
I'm really into shoes, but at my age I have foot problems. I've been forced to wear flat shoes for six years, and thought these might work for me since they were a little higher. I'm afraid I couldn't keep them, but believe they are wonderfully made, stylish and perfect.
Nice Shoe
The shoe looks nice enough to be worn with clothes that are dressy casual. The sole is thick enough so it does not feel like you are walking on concrete. But not so thick they are unattractive. I had to return the first pair for a half size larger. The first shoe was too small.

New York, July 23 (IBNS): Burundi has made progress on a number of fronts in recent months but still faces numerous challenges, including a weak economy, cross-border incursions and a mixed human rights situation, the top United Nations envoy to the country told the Security Council Monday.
Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Burundi, reported that there have been "significant" advances in terms of political dialogue over the past six months.
One among them is that several opposition politicians who remained in exile abroad following their boycott of the 2010 elections returned to Burundi to participate in a workshop that was held in March. Also, for the first time since the boycott, all Burundian political actors came together to discuss their country's political future.
"I wish to emphasize that the return of key political figures to Burundi marks significant progress and is an encouraging sign of the increasing willingness of all political actors to collaborate in the interest of preparing peaceful, free and fair elections in 2015."
The returning politicians have since resumed their activities and some political parties have already been able to make progress in terms of reaching out to their members in different locations of the country, he noted.
"These major advances on political dialogue have played a key role in reducing restrictions of political space which have had the negative impact of curtailing the ability of political parties and actors to freely conduct their day-to-day activities."
At the same time, the activities of some youth members of political parties have raised concern, Onanga-Anyanga said.
"Given the country's violent history, we strongly urge all stakeholders to ensure that youth wings of political parties perform their activities peacefully and do not become a source of intimidation and at times actual danger for the population, including those that may be politically active, thus affecting negatively the political environment ahead of the 2015 elections."
Supporting next year's elections in the war-scarred African country is one of several tasks assigned by the Council to the UN Office in Burundi (BNUB). Headed by Onanga-Anyanga, the Office was set up in 2006 to assist efforts towards peace and stability after decades of factional and ethnic fighting between Hutus and Tutsis killed hundreds of thousands of people.
The envoy noted that overall Burundi continued to enjoy a "commendable" level of security and stability. However, occasional clashes continued in recent months between Government forces and armed groups, including cross-border incursions from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with armed groups claiming responsibility for some of the attacks.
"As such incidents show, the ongoing instability in eastern DRC continues to adversely impact on Burundi."
In addition, the country finds itself in an "extremely difficult" fiscal position, which could, if not handled properly, pose a serious threat to hard-won yet still fragile stability, the envoy warned.
The picture regarding the overall human rights situation during the first half of this year is "mixed," Onanga-Anyanga said, noting that there have been far fewer cases of killings that may have been politically motivated than in the past.
He also noted that the "excessive and inappropriate" use of force by State security agents, mostly the police, appears to have been the cause of the majority of cases of human rights violations that have been documented since the beginning of this year.
Another issue the country continues to struggle with, said the Special Representative, is the high rate of extreme poverty. "Food security and nutrition remain major challenges, and most Burundians continue to face a daily struggle to make ends meet."
He added that projections for 2013 indicate a slightly increased growth rate of 5.3 per cent, which is still insufficient to significantly reduce the poverty level, given continuing high rates of population growth.
Ambassador Paul Seger of Switzerland, the head of the Burundi configuration of the UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), told the Council that his overall impression after visiting the country last month is that although it has made significant progress, a number of challenges remain to be tackled.
"I saw a real risk of a gap between the Government's expectations on the one hand, and those of the international community on the other," he stated. "Moreover, the fragility of the Burundian economy requires urgent action."
He said his message to the Government is to show political leadership and to redouble its efforts to undertake major reforms in the areas of good political and economic governance and the rule of law, while his message to the international community is to step up its commitment to Burundi and to maintain constructive, open and forthright communication with the Government.
"I realize that the peacebuilding process is difficult and requires perseverance. Every marathon runner knows that the last 10 kilometres are the hardest," Seger stated. "I therefore encourage the Government to press ahead with the race given that the country has made so much progress in terms of stabilization in recent years."

1. The Village at Irvine Spectrum Center
50 Prism, Irvine, 949-502-3000 thevillageatirvinespectrum.com
[IMAGE3]• The Village has 1,550 apartment homes within 4 distinct villages – each resident has access to all amenities in each village, according to an Irvine Co. representative.
• Retail on-site includes a market, Starbucks, dry cleaners, flower shop, ATM and 5,000-square-foot fitness center.
• Full-time events director plans resident events such as Monte Carlo night, outdoor film festivals and live art shows benefiting charity, according to developer/builder Irvine Co.
Why they are No. 1: "Someone doesn't live at The Village to have an apartment," said an Irvine Co. spokesperson. "They live here because people say 'hi', they speak in the elevators, they care if you (or your dog) are under the weather. When residents want a moment away from their home, they can walk to an on-site Starbucks and curl up in a comfy leather sofa."
Claim to fame: "We are O.C.'s largest live, work, play community. We are walking distance from hundreds of thousands of jobs and a 1.2 million square foot shopping center anchored by Nordstrom, Target and dozens of the county's most popular restaurants," said the company.
Fan favorite: "It's the most amazing place to live. It's so cool to have a movie theater across the street – and wine demonstrations right outside my home." – Ana Johnson, Irvine
Fun fact: "We have one of the most creative communities in Orange County. Walk around and you'll see artists painting on their balconies, screenwriters working on their scripts and leaders in the tech industry innovating just steps away in their Irvine Spectrum offices," said an Irvine Co. spokesperson.
2. Newport Bluffs Apartment Village

Claim to fame: "Vilaggio Park, located in the heart of Newport Bluffs, provides residents with open, lush green space for recreational enjoyment. The guest services office offers a wide variety of outdoor equipment for residents to use in the park," said a company spokesperson.
Fan favorite: "The activities director puts together creative things like poker nights and Super Bowl parties where we get the opportunity to meet our other neighbors. For dog owners there is the Yappy Hour where owners are given the chance to socialize and enjoy treats with their dogs. I have noticed this year especially that Newport Bluffs has become a very social place with events and sports activities for the kids, and gatherings for the adults. There really is something for everyone in the family." – John Renfro, Newport Beach
Fun fact: There are more than 2.5 miles of lushly landscaped walkways to guide residents through the community.

1 Park Newport Drive, Newport Beach, 949-644-1900 parknewportapts.com
[IMAGE2]• The company touts its resort living with eight lighted tennis courts, seven sparkling pools, including Main Pool with spa and bay view barbecue terrace.
Claim to fame: "Location Location Location. Our community's landmark location on the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve, combined with large floor plans and superior service and amenities, makes for a winning combination," according to a company spokesperson.
Fan favorite: "The property is simply splendid. There are all sorts of exquisite amenities like trips and outings they offer to places I never knew existed in Orange County. You get everything in one package, and for the value you simply can't beat it. Breakfasts once a month, a movie theater, and grills out by the pool ... I feel like I'm living in a resort with a million dollar view." – Claire Friend, Newport Beach
Fun fact: Winner of the California Apartment Association/South Coast Apartment Association's GEMM Award for Property of the Year, 2010 and 2011.

Company Overview of MacMillan Publishers Inc.
Company Overview
175 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10010
United States
Founded in 1952
Key Executives for MacMillan Publishers Inc.
MacMillan Publishers Inc. Key Developments
Massachusetts consumers are in line to collectively receive more than $5 million from settlements over an electronic book price fixing lawsuit brought against Apple Inc. and five large e-book publishers. The lawsuit was brought by the attorneys general of 33 states, including Massachusetts, and the total settlement was $166 million. The settlements have been approved by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleged that Apple; Hachette Book Group Inc.; HarperCollins Publishers LLC; Simon & Schuster Inc.; Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC, which does business as Macmillan; and Penguin Group (USA) Inc. conspired to eliminate retail price competition in order to raise e-book prices.
E-book consumers will receive compensation worth $166 million in aggregate, pursuant to settlements entered into by the attorneys general of numerous states with five e-book publishers on a price collusion case. The settlements arose out of an investigation and subsequent lawsuit brought by 33 states against Apple Inc. and five publishers - Hachette Book Group USA Inc., CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster Inc., News Corp.'s HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Penguin Group (USA) Inc. and Macmillan Publishers Inc. - over their alleged collusion to raise pricing on e-books. A federal judge ruled July 2013 that Apple conspired with the publishers.
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said March 25, 2014 that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has now approved the $166 million in settlements of the lawsuit brought by the Wisconsin Department of Justice and the attorneys general in 32 other states against Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Simon & Schuster Inc., Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC (d/b/a Macmillan), and Penguin Group (USA) Inc. An account credit or check will be issued based on the number of eligible e-books purchased by a consumer during the claims period of April 1, 2010, to May 21, 2012. Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., was also sued but did not agree to settle. After a three-week trial in June 2013, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote found that Apple played a central role in facilitating and executing a conspiracy to eliminate retail price competition in order to raise e-book prices, in violation of federal and state antitrust laws. A second trial to determine the amount of damages Apple must pay for that violation has been tentatively scheduled for May. If successful, additional account credits or checks will be distributed to Wisconsin consumers in the future.
