One palace after the other :-)
Before you get to the first castle from direction Trafalgar Square towards Buckinham palace you will have to pass the imposant building(s) (see picture) of the Admiralty and the Horse Guards.
Here it is you might be able to get that picture of the "guard-on-his-own".
Pass through the alley end then end up at the Horse Guards Parade square.
In front of you is the St. James's Park.
If you turn right you end up at The Mall, go left and straight towards Buckingham Palace.
On your way at the right hand side you can discover Saint James's Palace.
St. James's Palace got constructed under Henry VIII between 1532 and 1540.
It was erected on the site of the Hospital St. James where leper women were threatened. Since Queen Ann moved into the Palace at 1702, it would remain the residence for the kings and queens during three centuries, until Queen Victoria chose Buckingham Palace as the new chief residence.
Officially however, the English court is still known as the Court of St. James.
Tip: if you after all want to take that picture with you and the royal guards, take it before or after the change at Buckingham Palace at St. James Palace.
There is a guard standing all on his own (the poor guy on my other picture) you can go and stand right next to him!
During the ceremony (at about 10.45am and again at 11.40am), the mounted guards will ride past, going up 'The Mall' and returning back down.
Built in the 1820s Wellington Arch was one of a pair by the architect Decimus Burton, celebrating and commemorating Britains victory over Napoleonic France - the other one is, of course Marble Arch.
Originally built as the entrance to Buckingham Palace it is now possible to pay a £3 entry to climb to the top for views over the Royal parks. There are three floors inside telling its fascinating history.
The Arch was once topped with a statue of Wellington on his horse (the largest horse statue ever commissioned) but it was highly unpopular and when the arch itself was dismantled and moved (due to a massive road improvement scheme) in 1912, it was seen as an opportunity to replace it with the "Quadriga" a four horse chariot at full speed, driven by the Winged figure of Peace - by sculptor Adrian Jones.
Opening Hours:
Wed-Sun & Bank Hols 10am - 4pm (5pm from 1st April)
I cannot imagine London without its ceremonies. There are barracks in several areas of London to house the troops whose duties are largely ceremonial.
The Changing of the Queen's Guards is quite regal. The uniforms are impressive, the martial music is inspiration, and the shouted commands certainly demand attention!
This ceremony is made up of Old Guard who form up in the palace forecourt to hand over their duty to the New Guard. This is a very public ceremony right in front of the Palace. When the Queen is in residence in the Palace, there is one more officer and nine more men.
I had no idea that this popular ceremony was so complicated. It begins outside Wellington Barracks. Each morning a band (one of four) of the Brigade of Guards gather and begin to play. A group of guardsmen in scarlet jackets, black trousers and boots, and, of course, bearskin helmets is inspected before beginning their guard duty. Suddenly, the guard detail marches off, and the Changing of the Queen's Guard is under way.
At about the same time, another group of soldiers (on horseback) move from Hyde Park to Whitehall to change guard duties at Horse Guards Parade. These are members of the Household Cavalry, and they are chaperoned through London's traffic by two mounted members of the Metropolitan Police.
Both of these ceremonies are colorful, musical, dynamic, and EXPENSIVE to keep up.
2nd visit August 2008
Warwick Castle can be visited on a long day trip from London, this is one of my favorite castles that I've visited and they have activities going on during the day that are entertaining for both adults and kids. The weekends in summer tend to have the most activities but I imagine they are also the most crowded.
There are several different ways to visit Warwick Castle:
Several companies run day trips out to Warwick by bus, these are more expensive than independent travel and also include other stops in Oxford and Stratford.
If you opt for independent travel, the journey takes about 1 hr 40 minutes by train. If you are just planning on spending the day you can get a "cheap" day return, we purchased 2 for 1 tickets in advance from Lastminute.com, you can also get a slight discount by booking on the castle's website, plus you can avoid the queues. The Castle is just a short 15 minute walk from the train station.
Or if you want to try and combine a visit to Warwick with Stratford, there was a Shakespeare Explorer pass for either 1 or 3 days that allowed you to go into Warwick and out of Stratford (or vice versa). As seeing the castle properly takes at least 4 hours, unless you get a really early start on the day, you really can't do justice to both places in one day.
I posted some additional tips and pics on my Warwick page.
If you are spending more than 3 or 4 days in London, I would highly recommend a day trip out to one of the castles/palaces that are easily reachable from London via train. Windsor Castle is one of my three favorites that are close to London (the other two are Hampton Court and Warwick Castle), the trip takes about 35-40 minutes from London and can easily be a full day trip should you want to do some shopping, wander over to Eton or take a boat trip on the Thames River. Or a 1/2 day if you get an early start and all you want to see is the castle.
I've been out to Windsor several times on a daytrip from London, twice to take other people who hadn't seen it, twice on my own. Windsor is a quintessential castle, beautiful architecture, lots of history and lots to see inside the castle.
For more information on what to see in Windsor and how to get there, please see my Windsor page.
It amazes me how quiet this event is from a tourist turnout perspective. It appears to be almost unknown to tourists, yet the ones that accidentally stumble across it appear a bit bewildered and fascinated in equal amounts! If you want London pageantry, this is about as good as you get, and the even better news is that it is free and also you get direct access to the participants. Not only do you get to see Pearly Kings, Pearly Queens, Princes and Princesses, you get to see a whole raft of Lord Mayors (although unfortunately Ken Livingstone always seems to have something better to do). You get the London Town Crier. Chelsea Pensioners, Shire Horses, Donkeys and lots of little carts. You also get numerous self-styled London personalities.
I would highly recommend a visit to this festival. It tends to be around Mid-September. If you want to know more, try the following website:
The event I refer to above is the Pearly Guild Harvest Festival.
In days gone by, before there were Public Address Systems and microphones and News Programmes on the TV, the way news was spread about a large town/city was to have a Town Crier who went through the town with his bell shouting out the proclamation he had been tasked with telling the population.
This is the current London Town Crier. I believe he has been in the role for several decades (he did tell me exactly how long, but I have forgotten the precise figure). Of course his role is pretty much just ceremonial these days, but is part of the pageantry of London that is still kept alive that many people may miss. The best way to see him is to either get lucky (I have seen him a few times), or to try and find an event he attends (such as the Pearly Kings Harvest Festival).
These days, most people associate Chelsea with Englands (currently) most successful Football Team. However A Chelsea Pensioner is NOT something ex-Chelsea players become when they get old (I can't see Frank Lampard or John Terry joining their ranks...). Chelsea is an area in London (a rather well to do area as it happens). The Chelsea Pensioners are old soldiers who live together in an Old Soldiers Home (unsurprisingly based in Chelsea). As with the Town Crier, they are part of London's heritage and you can often see them at ceremonies such as Trooping the Colour or the Pearly Kings Harvest Festival.
The Chelsea Pensioners live in the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. The building itself was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1682.
The Horse Guards Parade is the second most popular ceremony outside of the Changing of the Guard. In fact, the two mounted cavalry regiments of the Queens Household Regiments, who march in the Changing of the Guard, make up the Horse Guards Parade. The parade happens every Monday through Saturday at 11.00am and on Sundays at 10.00am. It takes place outside the Horse Guards Building on Whitehall, which was built in 1745 to house the old palace guards
The Guards (Queen's Life Guards) ride along the Mall between Horse Guards parade and Hyde Park.
The Queen's mounted Life Guards hold one of the most prestigious military positions. Every afternoon at 4pm the Dismounting Ceremony takes place. First the Guards undergo an inspection - down to whether they have creases in their boots! The mounted sentries stationed outside the Horse Guards are those who did the best at Inspection.
There is limited space for spectators so be sure to arrive early!
The men you see around Buckingham Palace and around London are not only ceremonial guards. While upholding the traditions of the past, they perform duties throughout the world as professional soldiers and are known as some of the most elite and skilled soldiers in the British Army. The responsibility of guarding the Sovereign by the Household Troops dates back to the time of Henry VII (1485-1509). They take an active role in protecting their Sovereign and at night they patrol the grounds of both Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace. These are some of the best soldiers in the British Army and have fought in many major areas of conflict since the 17th Century.
The Household Division is made up of seven Regiments and comprise of the Household Cavalry Regiment, The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals along with five other Regiments of Foot Guards, the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, The Scots Guards, the Irish Guards and the Welsh Guards.
Following is the breakdown of the dress code for the Guards:
Life Guards - Wear a metal helmet with a white plum on the helmet, red tunic no buttons
Blues & Royals – Wear a metal helmet with a red plume on helmet, blue tunic no buttons
Grenadier - Wear a bearskin cap with a white plume worn on the left, red tunic singly buttons
Goldstream - Wear a bearskin cap with a red plume worn on the right, red tunic, pairs of buttons
Scots-Wear a bearskin cap with no plume, red tunic threes of buttons
Irish - Wear a bearskin cap with a blue plume worn on the right, red tunic, fours of buttons
Welsh - Wear a bearskin cap with a white/green/white plume worn on the left, red tunic, fives of buttons
When looking at the guards at Buckingham Palace one might forget to think of which one you are looking at?
There are seven different regiments.
The one on the picture at the left is one of the 5 regiments wearing the bearskin hat.
The one on the picture has probably his bleu plume at his right side (not showing in this picture). He has his buttons with 2 x 4 on a row, so I presume this is a member of the Irish regiment.
The other four are recognizable bye the plume and the way the buttons are on the coat:
Grenadier: White plume at the left and singly buttons
Coldstream: Red plume at the right and pair buttons
Scots: no plume and buttons by threes
Welsh: white/green/white plume at the left side, buttons row of 5 each.
At the right side on the 2nd picture you can spot two members of the Life Guards. They wear the white (long) plume on their helmet, their tunics are red and they have no buttons.
The Blues and Royals have a similar red plume on their helmet and their tunics have no buttons and are blue.
Or as we say in England - A Right Royal Walk.
Follow the link for details of a walk around Big Ben; Westminster Abbey; Buckingham Palace etc.
Takes about 3 hours
Even though we didn't like the Palace, we did like the gardens, and these are FREE TO VISIT.
The Gardens were beautifully laid out and were full of colour. These were the Italian Gardens, a 150-year-old ornamental water garden located near Lancaster Gate. It is believed to have been created as a gift from Prince Albert to Queen Victoria.
Also in the gardens, is the elaborate Albert Memorial, commemorating the death of Prince Albert in 1861 of typhoid, and the Diana Memorial Playground, a FREE PLAYGROUND in memory of Princess Diana
The gardens are open at 6 am daily
Horse Guards Parade-Ceremonial mounting of the guard daily at 11:00 am (10:00am Sundays) in summer on Horse Guards Parade and in winter in the courtyard. Dismount ceremony daily at 4:00pm. The Guards (Queen's Life Guards) ride along the Mall between Horse Guards parade and Hyde Park

Change is comingJanuary 10,2013
Change is coming
The announcement of large spikes in health care premiums for school and town employees is generating a lot of concern among taxpayers. Insurance companies are raising our premiums because they cant make money on their investments. Since Wall Street trashed the financial system, stocks and bonds and money markets pay practically nothing. Take a look at your savings account since 2008 and youll see the problem.
Insurance companies can do this because we the people dont have the expertise to comparison-shop for doctors, hospitals, medications or treatments the way we might for a car or computer. We cant pay for major care out of pocket, so we must rely on insurance, thereby losing the final say in what to buy or how much to pay for it. Markets work only when consumers have the power to say no if the price isnt right. Its pretty hard for anyone to say no in the case of things like end-of-life care or brain surgery, let alone childbirth or infections.
Because the market is not free, insurers can raise our rates whenever they need to. This guarantees them generous salaries and profits for their investors. All we can do is pay for now. But if we hold our legislators toes to the fire and make them follow through with a real single-payer health system, all that will change.

There a lot of FAKE animal pyschics out there, and just a handful of true helpful ones. Sounds like you got a obviously fake one.
I talked with one last fall who was very highly recommended. You make an appointment and then call her at your appt time. She asks your horses barn name, age, and color. That's it.
I think she charged like $25 for the first 15 minutes or something along those lines.
I was quite amazed at the things she said about my horse Red, and about my colt Shotgun. And ..... she brought up my old horse Beau who was about to be put down in 2 days. I never said a word about him to her.
It was a very interesting experience, although I'm not going to do it on a regular basis by any means, but I was really amazed at the things she brought up and the things we discussed. There's a lot of things that there's no way she could have known, even if she had tried to research me and my horses on the internet.
She also has a knack for finding soreness or pain issues, and usually, when taken to a vet or necessary checkup, they find an issue right where she said.
With Red, she said he either had a problem with his right jaw or the right palate. She wasn't quite sure what he was showing her, but it was around the right side of his mouth. When I had Red's first dental visit done about a month or two later, guess what? He had a hook on the right side. I never said a word to the dentist about what I suspected.
So I think there are some true animal communicators out there ..... but the vast majority of them are posers.

I've been using this cream for about 3 weeks now. At first, I was skeptical but I've now been converted. At the start, I had to use three pumps of cream to cover my face and neck. Then it went to two and now it only takes one pump. I love, love, love this product. The biggest and most pleasant surprise is how it maintains moisture around the eye area throughout the entire day! Last summer, I had something removed from my neck which left a scar the size of a dime. The other day, I noticed that the scar has diminished considerably. My skin tone has improved but not by much as I've been using organic products for the past couple of years. And last, but certainly not least, it's such a pleasure to be able to travel with two bottles of skincare instead of multiple bottles and jars! Thank you so much! The lipsticks are also very nice and moisturizing. I ordered the burgundy which is too dark for me, but I apply a lighter lip gloss over it. I hope TSC keeps this product line in stock for many years to come.

I ordered this product before but never gave it a chance because I thought it had heavy perfumes in it, but when I watched the show again, the host assured us that the perfume smell was from all the botanicals in the product, so I ordered it again. Glad I did. This glides on beautifully and my skin feels great after...not dry for wanting more moisture and not greasy either. It also works great in the undereye area. Many eye creams I find are not enough moisture for aging eyes, and I have to keep applying more and more. I wish the bottle was a little bigger ...when your using it on your face, eyes and throat, morning and night, it won't last long. The lipsticks keep my lips moist and don't dry them out. The pink color I ordered, is too pale for my skin tone, but I just apply another one of my colors on top. All in all, great products.

Picture: Olivier Martinez Hollywood Dominos - VIP Launch held in Knightsbridge Liverpool, England - 07.11.08
French actor Olivier Martinez has won damages from a British tabloid over claims he cheated on ex-girlfriend Kylie Minogue.
In November 2007, Martinez launched legal action for libel against The Sun newspaper over a story claiming he had slept with another woman during his four-year relationship with the Aussie superstar.
Martinez claimed the publication had used defamatory and libellous language, and on Thursday (08Oct09) a judge a London's High Court agreed - ordering The Sun to apologise for the allegation, and to pay undisclosed damages and legal costs.
A lawyer for News Group Newspapers Ltd said, "The defendant sincerely apologises to the claimant for the distress and embarrassment this article has caused. It accepts that the allegations are untrue and ought never to have been published."
The actor's lawyer said, "This false allegation has caused Mr. Martinez considerable embarrassment and distress.
"Mr. Martinez is glad that The Sun has accepted that the allegations are false and that the article should never have been published at all."
Martinez and Minogue split in February 2007.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the unexpected passing of Joseph LaGuardia.
In June 1982, I knocked on Joe's door at the NYS Fair with a few sample portraits in my portfolio.
Earlier that year, I had drawn a portrait of Walter Cronkite which incorporated Syracuse landmarks to commemorate his visit to Crouse Hospital that former Congressman George Wortley presented.
I shared with Joe my copy of the Conkrite portrait and asked if he thought a similar presentation might work for any of the talent scheduled to appear at the Grandstand... He was impressed and promised to give it some thought.
A week later, Joe called to say that Barbara Mandrell had agreed to accept a portrait!
I incorporated the NYS Fair logo and several graphic elements that were used to promote the Fair in 1982 into the Mandrell artwork.
Barbara Mandrell not only agreed to a portrait presentation, she invited me to sit in the wings of the stage to watch her show.
It was a fantastic experience!
In Fairs to follow, I would present portraits to Liberace, The Pointer Sisters, Anne Murray, Whitney Houston, Bill Cosby, James Taylor and Natalie Cole...
All because Joe said yes!
God Speed and thanks a million Joseph LaGuardia. You literally put the stars in my path that would guide my art career.
Mark-Paul Serafin, Mayor of Manlius

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Dies
Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the heir apparent to the Saudi throne, has died in New York undergoing treatment for an illness, raising questions over the succession in the oil-rich kingdom.
The Succession Question
The death of Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud raises questions about who will rule the U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.
Crown Prince Sultan, who also served as defense minister as well as being second in line to the throne, went to the U.S. in June for medical tests. He was believed to be 86 and will be buried Tuesday.
Although Sultan, who was the half brother of the ailing Saudi King Abdullah, was long seen as a likely future king, his health had deteriorated sharply in recent years, leading to long periods of absence from Saudi Arabia for an illness that analysts believed was cancer.
"King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz mourns the death of his brother and his Crown Prince Sultan who died at dawn this morning Saturday outside the kingdom following an illness," the royal court said in a statement released a few hours later in Riyadh.
King Abdullah, who also has health issues, underwent a back operation last week, the third in less than a year, to retighten the binding connector around the third vertebra. He left the hospital in Riyadh to continue medial treatment at a private clinic in his palace but it is still unclear how long the king will take to recover.
Limited information about the king's ailment has previously fanned speculation of a more serious problem with the health of the ruler of the Arab world's largest economy.
Now Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a brother who is thought to be 77, is seen as Sultan's most likely successor as crown prince, putting him next in line to King Abdullah.
The powerful interior minister was appointed as second deputy prime minister in 2009, an informal indication that he was next in line to the throne after the deaths of the king and crown prince.
In order for Prince Nayef to become the crown prince, a special committee set up by the royal family five years ago to regulate the kingdom's opaque process of succession will have to reach an agreement on his elevation.
The so-called Allegiance Council, representing every branch of the dynasty founded by King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud last century, has never been tested before. It must now meet to approve King Abdullah's nomination of a new crown prince, setting the direction of the country for years to come.
That prospect worries more liberal Saudis who say his record as interior minister since 1975 involved blocking some reforms and overseeing crackdowns on political dissidents.
Other analysts, however, say the nature of his job as interior minister demanded an authoritarian approach. They believe he might show a different face if he ever becomes king.
Unlike in most kingdoms, the Saudi monarchy does not pass from father to son, but along a line of brothers born to Ibn Saud, who founded Saudi Arabia in 1934. Only 19 of the Saudi patriarch's 45 sons are still alive, and Prince Nayef is the most senior of these who is active in politics.
The council is almost certain to approve Prince Nayef, say analysts, yet its decision is to some extent a trial run for a more difficult deliberation in the future, when it must anoint one of Ibn Saud's grandchildren as crown prince for the first time.
Prince "Nayef will be announced the crown prince most likely this week," said a Saudi official, who asked not to be identified. "It is a natural move which everyone expects."
Meanwhile, the death of Sultan has opened another important vacancy: that of defense and aviation minister, which the late prince held for almost 50 years, overseeing a series of massive armament programs.
In this role, Prince Sultan was a vital link in the series of alliances that bound Saudi Arabia to Western nations over decades, using weaponry purchases to solidify relations with the U.S., U.K. and France.
Most analysts believe the job will be inherited by his son, Prince Khaled bin Sultan Al Saud, who has been deputy defense minister since 2001 and commanded Saudi forces during the 1991 Gulf War.
President Barack Obama offered condolences to the kingdom, calling the crown prince a "valued friend" who helped cement ties between the allies.
"He was a strong supporter of the deep and enduring partnership between our two countries forged almost seven decades ago," Obama said in a statement.

2003 GMC Sierra • 38,000 miles
I took my GMC 2500HD to the dealer for the ABS light. I already ran the code and decided it was a module failure but I did not want to attempt the repair. When I picked it up, I went about ten feet before the truck stopped on it's own. After a little investigation, I noticed that when I turned the steering wheel the brake pedal would apply itself and the power steering pump could be heard straining itself. The dealer did not want to admit to a mistake and said the problem was in the hydro-boost. (Another $900.00) I don't see how the ABS and the hydro-boost could cross over but does anyone out there have experience with a problem like this? Thanks

Nickelback's Ryan Peake Talks BBQ And Male Nudity On Q103 [AUDIO]
Nickelback is hitting up the capital region and Ryan Peake and his Canadian accent come on my show to make off colored innuendos.
Nickelback is hitting up the capital region and Ryan Peake and his Canadian accent come on my show to make off colored innuendos.
When it comes to delicious smoked food, there are a few big name contenders that come to mind. So which is the best of the best?
In a new interview, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger comes to terms with the fact that his band will probably never be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or pick up any Grammys.
Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger was the special guest with host Mike 'Sandman' Sanders on Loudwire Radio this past weekend. Kroeger talked about the band's current tour with Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days, as well as a number of other topics...
Q103 welcomes Nickelback and Bush to Saratoga Performing Arts Center on July 24th. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10am. If you are a Rock-a-holic you can get the code to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the public. Pre-sale happens Friday 3/16 from 10a-10pm.
The Summer of 2012 will rock as Nickelback will begin its 'Here and Now' North American Tour 2012 in April with dates announced through June. Today, the band extended its tour with 9 additional dates including July 24th at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center with special guest Bush.
Avril Lavigne is definitely one of Canada's hottest imports, now she tweeted she is working with and hanging out with fellow Canadian rocker Chad Kroeger from Nickelback on her new album.
A Nickelback fan got tired of all the hate for the band lately that he created this video with a group of brave women standing up for a cause they believe in. Based on a campaign done in 2009 by celebrities to stop the bullying, Brian Boye a independent film maker from Kansas City created NO H8 NB as in 'No Hate For Nickelback' but in the end, he still hates them too!
Nickelback has announced their first North American arena tour in two years. The 39 date tour begins on April 10th in Moline, Illinois. Special guests Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days, join Nickelback on all tour dates. Tickets go on sale beginning January 20th at Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com.
What can you do when you've sold more than 20 million records and the drummer for a blogger-friendly indie-rock duo tees off on you during an interview with Rolling Stone? Nickelback had to find the answer to the question recently, when Patrick Carney of the Black Keys said "Rock 'n' roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world" — and to Nickelback's credit, they were able to find the humor in the situation.
Nickelback and the world of sports just don't seem to be getting along lately. Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Peter Moylan began a Twitter war with the band, who retaliated with some tough words of their own.
So after much fanfare leading up to Nickelback's performance during the halftime show during yesterday's Thanksgiving Day Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers match-up, including their own self-deprecating take at it on Funny or Die, the band took to the field in fine form.

Who Wore It Better? Pink Printed Patio Dress
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Who would have thought that not one, but two girls would wear such a Summery dress in the Fall? Paris Hilton wore her pink printed patio dress to a tanning salon in LA, while actress Olivia Wilde rocked it on the red carpet at the Movies Rock kick-off party. Both ladies have resort on their minds, but who do you think wore it better?

I thought it looked better on Paris because of the tan and because she has the body for it. (tall and slender)

Damn. I can hardly get it out , but, ok, here goes.....Paris, ok I said it. It was tough to say, but I honestly think she looks better.
pixelhaze 8 years
Paris, here's why: That strip of fabric in the middle is supposed to start right under the bust, thus creating an empire waist and supporting the girls. Olivia wore it at the waist, which means she bought the wrong size, the dress is too long, her boobs look misshapen, and she looks frumpy.
amber_castaldo 8 years
It's true I think Paris wore it better. It looks like a summer dress and the casualness of how she is wearing it makes it look good.
cottonpoots 8 years
Paris's fake tan makes the dress look ugly.
purpleisafruit 8 years
Olivia. But if it was pretty much anyone other than Paris up against her, that may change my vote!
BuffBabe6108 8 years
Paris, it is a casual beachy dress, not something to be worn to a night even unless you are on vacation in Hawaii.
snowbunny11 8 years
Ugh, Paris. And I love that she just wore something like that to a tanning salon, obviously not my lifestyle, but it looks like it works for her. But I <3 Olivia. She always looks cute on House, I guess she'll get her her red carpet look down soon.

Also, Paris isn't wearing boots with her dress, They are just closed toe shoes. She never wears open toe shoes. Even on the beach in a bikini she has closed toe shoes on. I guess she thinks her toes are really ugly.

Green Globes NC is now based on the ANSI/GBI 01-2010: Green Building Assessment Protocol for Commercial Buildings standard. Improvements include:
The database includes building location, age, size, function, electricity and fuel consumption, equipment information, and operational characteristics. The data can also be used to compare performance trends among similar buildings, identify and prioritize cost-saving improvements, and assess the range of modeled savings.
Steamlined features include:
Developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the program provides benchmarks for building energy use, cost, greenhouse gas emissions, and characteristics. It allows users to compare their buildings to thousands of others from the California Commercial End-Use Survey and the DOE's Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey.
EnergyIQ allows both cross-sectional benchmarking, which examines one point in time, and longitudinal benchmarking, which trends building performance over longer periods. Your facility's data is then used to generate a list of energy upgrade opportunities.

Do you hear a knocking sound from your vehicle's strut rod? If yes is your answer, then there's a good chance that its strut rod bushing is already damaged. Luckily, you don't really need to call a professional mechanic to install a new strut rod bushing in your vehicle. If you're looking to replace the old strut rod bushing, just follow the instructions below.
Difficulty level: Moderate
Tools needed:
- Floor jack and jack stands
- 19mm Metric wrenches
- Rubber mallet
- Metric sockets (19mm and 22mm)
- Replacement strut rod bushing
- Paint pen or marker
Step 1: Using the 19mm metric wrench, remove the lug nut bolts.
Step 2: Raise the front part of your vehicle using a floor jack. Add extra support by placing jack stands underneath your vehicle.
Step 3: Using a 19mm metric wrench, carefully remove the undercarriage cover, lug nuts, front wheels, and front tires.
Step 4: Place a mark on the adjustment calibration discs of the strut rod bushing using a paint pen or marker. This way, you'll be able to put the calibration discs later on.
Step 5: Using a wrench, carefully remove the bolt that attaches the strut to the strut mount.
Step 6: Next, remove the bolts of the lower strut mount using the same technique in step number five.
Step 7: Now, to make the removal of the bushing easier, remove the bolts attached to the strut rod and the ones that hold the bushing. Don't forget how the bolts are attached so you can reinstall them later on.
Step 8: Remove the strut rod, and then remove the old strut rod bushing. Install the new strut rod bushings using metric wrenches and sockets.
Step 9: Reinstall the undercarriage cover, lug nuts, front wheels, calibration discs, strut rod, and front tires.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A U.S. defense official says the military believes that three pirates were killed in a gunfight among themselves on the ship they hijacked off Somalia's coast.
The official says there was an argument among the pirates that escalated into a shootout. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record, and he refused to elaborate or provide details. Several U.S. ships have been watching the vessel.
Officials believe several dozen pirates are holding the Ukrainian ship Faina, which is carrying a cargo of Soviet-designed tanks and weapons. The U.S. Navy has surrounded the vessel with a half dozen ships in hopes of preventing the pirates from taking any of the weapons ashore.

There is no better quarterback/head coach tandem in the NFL than Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
There is no better quarterback/head coach tandem in the NFL than Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
However, the two will get tested more than ever this season.
Gone from last year are Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez. Even Brady's biggest target — Rob Gronkowski — will begin the season on the sidelines, nursing his back after surgery.
Not only that, the uncertainty lies for a group of youthful receivers that will have to step into an offense that produced an NFL-best 2015 points since the 2009 season.
As far as Belichick is concerned, no problem.
The Patriots concluded their two-day joint session with the Philadelphia Eagles on Wednesday and will prepare to open their preseason schedule Friday night against the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Belichick spoke about a very productive first day with the Eagles.
"I thought yesterday (Tuesday) was a real good day for us," Belichick said. "We got a lot out of it. We got pretty much everything we expected — a lot of good situational work, a lot of good one-on-one work. Our team saw some things that we hadn't seen before that we had to adjust to, which was good."
Brady even pointed out it's a work in progress.
"Everybody's working at it," Brady said. "I would say we have a long way to go and we're doing some good things and we're doing some things that we need to eliminate."
Brady and Belichick have the best winning percentage (.777) among head coach and QB since the 1970 AFL-NFL meger.
The Patriots have compiled a 136-39 regular season record since Brady took over the starting job from Drew Bledsoe. The closest duo to Belichick and Brady is Miami's Don Shula and Dan Marino, who finished with a 116-68 record in 13 seasons.
Belichick and Brady enjoyed success in the postseason as well.
The pair landed three Super Bowl titles, five conference championships and 10 division titles in 12 seasons. Belichick trails former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry by two wins for most playoff wins (18). Brady leads all quartebacks in NFL history in victories (17) in the postseason.
Belichick was acquired from the New York Jets in 2000, thanks to a first-round draft pick. Brady was picked by New England in the sixth round (199th overall) in the 2000 NFL draft.
Belichick's overall record with the Patriots is 168-64. Since Brady has been under center, he has owned a record of 153-46, including the playoffs. It is the best record out of any NFL quarterback in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) with at least 100 starts.
The two have had a run at history like no other tandem the NFL has seen.
Belichick and Brady have made the Patriots what they are today.
Page 2 of 2 - With the regular season right around the corner, it will be interesting to see how much Belichick and Brady can shape New England into Super Bowl contenders.

It's been a while since I last did one of these, so expect a wall of text ahead.
First of all, I'd like to talk about my inactivity. Somewhere between December and March I started to feel like drawing just wasn't fun anymore and saw no point in doing it. As time went on I started to feel more and more depressed until I finally got that little spark of motivation going again, and so I started throwing little updates as I progressed with my work. I don't think something like this will happen again, but that's still a possibility, so please bear with me if it does.
Now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about content. Now, I know for a fact that many of you came from EQD and likely clicked that watch button expecting more pony art. Guys, I am no pony artist; I'm just a guy who likes drawing and just happens to like ponies too, so there's obviously going to be fanart along the way. Does this mean I'll stop doing pony art? Hell no! But it does mean that I will not be focusing on that at any point and will continue to draw whatever I feel like doing at the time, even if it gets a lot less attention.
And finally, I would like to thank everyone here for sticking with me despite everything that happened during this last few months. It's been tough and I've learned a lot about myself and what I want to do in that time, and now I feel really determined to achieve my goal of going to college and becoming a professional artist. Will it ever happen? I don't know, but I do know that drawing is what I love doing the most, and I will never give that up even if I don't succeed. Now, after sharing my thoughts here I really feel like doing some sketches, so I'll leave you guys here, Shadow signing off!

The Inventory of Beliefs about Wife Beating: The Construction and Initial Validation of a Measure of Beliefs and Attitudes
Saunders, Daniel G., Lynch, Ann B., Grayson, Marcia, Linz, Daniel, Violence and Victims
Although attitudes and beliefs about wife beating have been regarded as important for understanding the factors that cause and perpetuate woman abuse, researchers have not had adequate instruments to measure these attitudes and beliefs. This article reports on the construction of a scale of attitudes about wife beating and an assessment of the scale's dimensionality and validity. Data were collected from 675 students, 94 residents of a midwestern city, 71 men who batter, and 70 advocates for battered women. Five reliable subscales were derived, and seven tests of validity were supported. Sympathetic attitudes toward battered women were related, as predicted, with liberal views of women's roles and sympathetic attitudes toward rape victims. Abusers and advocates were the most dissimilar in their attitudes. Male and female students also differed significantly. Many of the results are analogous to those in studies of attitudes toward rape. Several possible uses of the measure are described.
The topic of wife beating evokes a wide variety of responses. Some people assign blame to victims, others blame the perpetrators, and still others divide the blame equally. Victims may be regarded with indifference, hostility, or compassion, depending on the belief held about the cause of the violence. Views about causation are equally varied and can center on the abuser's mental health or level of stress, on the victim's behavior, or on a cultural analysis that points to male domination as the cause.
Although there are a variety of reactions to wife abuse, the public and many professional groups are generally charged with holding negative attitudes toward battered women (Dobash & Dobash, 1979; Gelles, 1976; Straus, 1976). It may be difficult for people to understand the plight of battered women because abused wives are more likely than other victims to be seen as being in an ongoing, intimate relationship with their abusers. Many people believe that those victimized in such relationships are responsible for their abuse, that the abuse is not serious, and that victims deserve little sympathy and assistance (Rossi, Waite, & Berk, 1974; Shodand & Straw, 1976).
The reaction of apathy or hostility experienced by many abused wives when they reach out for help, sometimes referred to as "secondary injury" (Symonds, 1980), is the focus of great concern. Such negative attitudes may actually help perpetuate abuse by turning women back into violent relationships, feeling even more helpless than before (cf. Stark, Flitcraft, & Frazier, 1979). A lack of options leads to both selfderogation and derogation by others (see, for example, Fine, 1981). This derogation may lead, in turn, to a further restriction of options.
A more direct contribution to wife abuse arises from the attitudes of the perpetrators. At least for some types of men who batter, a link has been established between the approval of marital violence and the actual perpetration of such acts (e.g., Dibble & Straus, 1981).
On a cultural level, there is evidence that attitudes about wife beating are part of a broader attitude domain about women's rights and roles in society (cf. Dobash & Dobash, 1979). For example, Yllo (1983) found patriarchal norms to be related to the physical assault of wives by husbands, using states as the unit of analysis. Such norms are also related to the acceptance of negative stereotypes about rape victims (Burt, 1980; Feild, 1978; Klein, 1981), suggesting that a search for parallels in attitudes about rape and wife beating may prove fruitful.
Several scales have been developed to measure attitudes toward rape (e.g., Burt, 1980; Feild, 1978; King, Rotter, Calhoun & Selby, 1978; Schwartz, Williams, & Pepitone-Rockwell, 1981). These scales have been useful in comparing different groups of professionals and other individuals, testing theories of attributions for rape, and measuring the effects of media depictions of rape (e. …

N.Y. Giants' Hometown Penalized by Stadium Tax Standoff
The National Football League's New York Giants sit atop their division. Their New Jersey hometown is in the fiscal cellar.
East Rutherford, a suburb of 8,900 people about 13 miles (21 kilometers) west of Manhattan, is struggling to assemble the state's tardiest budget as it battles the team over a tax bill. Investor patience is wearing thin with the borough, which risks a second credit downgrade this year and may have a spending plan imposed by the state. The penalty investors demand to own some of its bonds is almost eight times as steep as three years ago.
The town sold $12 million in short-term notes yesterday, its third such borrowing this year. The borough is seeking to collect $1.5 million in property taxes on the Giants' practice center, which the team and state say is exempt under a 1990 agreement.
"The fact that they need to use notes to pay for cash flow means that there's uncertainty about the timing or the outcome of the future revenues," said Daniel Solender, who helps manage about $17 billion of municipal bonds at Lord Abbett & Co. in Jersey City. "Given the focus on local-government stress around the country, it is understandable that the state wants to avoid those kinds of issues in New Jersey."
East Rutherford is the latest U.S. municipality hosting a professional sports arena to find the teams' profits don't always trickle down. Harrison, New Jersey, 10 miles south, lost its investment grade status last year after the $200 million venue for Major League Soccer's Red Bulls failed to meet projections.
Yield Penalty
East Rutherford debt has trailed a rally in the $3.7 trillion municipal-bond market, where interest rates have set 45-year lows this year.
Borough general-obligation bonds maturing in 2019 traded on Oct. 17 at an average yield of 3.02 percent, or 2 percentage points more than benchmark AAA debt, data compiled by Bloomberg show. When they were issued in November 2009, they priced at a yield spread of 0.27 percentage point more than top-rated debt.
The Giants play at MetLife Stadium, an 82,500-seat, open-air arena in the Meadowlands complex that opened in 2010. The $1.6 billion facility, which replaced the 34-year-old venue across the street, was primarily built with private money.
Tax Battle
The borough insists that Timex Performance Center, the site where the Giants practice inside the Meadowlands complex, amounts to new, private development and should pay $750,000 a year in real estate taxes. The team and the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, which owns the land, sued to stop the town from collecting the money, saying the facility is covered under a $6 million payment in lieu of property taxes the agency gives the town each year.
The New York Jets, which share the Stadium with the Giants, train about 30 miles away in Florham Park. The town collects payments in lieu of taxes, according to the team's lease.
East Rutherford's proposed budget relies on a total of $4.1 million it hasn't collected, including $2.6 million from the sports authority for costs related to a mall project. That's more than 16 percent of the borough's anticipated 2012 revenue, Moody's Investors Service said in an Oct. 10 report.
'Ridiculous' Situation
"They're assuming that their budget is going to be supported by these two revenue sources, which is far from certain," said Eric Friedland, head of municipal-credit research at Schroder Investment Management North America, which oversees about $2 billion in munis. "A more prudent manager wouldn't assume those monies are in the bank until they are."
Moody's said it may cut its A2 rating, the sixth-highest, on the borough's general obligations, following a January downgrade, because it has no budget. Lower ratings can raise borrowing costs as investors demand higher yields in exchange for what they see as more risk.
"It is kind of ridiculous that we're in the middle of October" and East Rutherford doesn't have a budget, Governor Chris Christie told reporters Oct. 23.
Christie's administration gave East Rutherford until yesterday to approve a spending plan or it may set a tax rate. The borough is the last municipality without a budget out of more than 550 in New Jersey that run on a calendar year, Thomas Neff, director of the state's Local Government Services division, said in an Oct. 16 letter to the mayor and council.
Field Goal
Councilman Thomas Banca said yesterday that the borough hasn't adopted a spending plan or scheduled any meetings to do so. The state is reviewing budget documents turned over by the borough, Lisa Ryan, a spokeswoman for the state's Community Affairs Department, said yesterday.
"It's a private building and just like any other corporation or resident in the borough they are supposed to be paying taxes," Banca said in a telephone interview. "We can't just arbitrarily excuse someone from paying their taxes."
Pat Hanlon, a spokesman for the Giants, and Wayne Hasenbalg, president and chief executive officer of the sports authority, declined to comment on the tax issue, citing pending litigation.
Victor Matheson, who teaches sports economics at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, said teams generally enter into subsidy packages with host cities that cover training facilities as well as the stadiums. Professional sports brings "almost no significant economic benefit" to the hometowns, he said.
"They are really designed to drive economic activity within those walls, not to drive economic activity in the local neighborhood," Matheson said.
James Cassella, mayor of East Rutherford, said the town will persist in its effort to collect taxes on the training center, and won't be deterred by threats of a downgrade or a state takeover of its finances.
"We're more worried about our taxpayers than we are about Moody's," Cassella said in a telephone interview.
Following are pending sales:
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON plans to sell $330 million in revenue bonds as soon as Oct. 30 via auction, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Proceeds will go toward capital projects and refunding. (Added Oct. 25)
NEW JERSEY plans to sell $2.6 billion of general-obligation tax-and revenue-anticipation notes through competitive bid as soon as Oct. 30, data compiled by Bloomberg show. It's the state's largest short-term note deal, the data show. Proceeds will repay a loan from Bank of America Merrill Lynch and boost cash flow. (Updated Oct. 24)
