We have written a number of articles entitled "Only God could build..." and with strong reasons behind them. But most of those were concerned with a creature with a brain albeit sometimes very small. But the title of our efforts here concern two items of God's creation which cannot classify as creature with a brain. And herein is the reason no one could possibly have built them to perform and accomplish their mission without a brain except the omnipotent, omniscient God of heaven. Protein has been referred to by some as "The Brainless Wonder".
During the late 1800's a chemist discovered something within a cell which was different than protein which he named nuclein. Later it was discovered to be heavily acid and then became known as nucleic acid. Still a little later, chemists were able to find and separate 4 compounds which contain nitrogen in them. These compounds were named, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Within each of the nucleic acids, large numbers of these 4 compounds were found.
In 1911, Phoebus Levene, an American biochemist, though born in Russia, discovered that there were two types of nucleic acid in each cell. These were named ribonucleic acid, (RNA), and the other deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Just the discovery of these ultra microscopic things in each living cell is enough to convince any unprejudiced mind that they could never occur through pure chance or accident. But those who are determined to discount God who created all things, continue their crusade to convince that they could, through billions of years, develop. However, even with modern chemical laboratories and remarkable devices to work with, they cannot put these chemicals together and create life!
But, the critical part is yet to come. These discoveries, specifically protein and DNA, have functions which could not be duplicated by the most brilliant human mind. The processes are difficult to explain with proper clarity, however we shall attempt to present it in a manner which will at least furnish us with the virtual impossibility of being conducted without a mind to direct it.
Let us briefly, with some quotes from those who know, what takes place in these cells. This writer is, by no stretch of the imagination, an accomplished scientist, having studied biology on a limited basis in college, with no further science education other than considerable reading. It would be of benefit at this point to consider the following paragraph.
If one is sincerely eager to gain some understanding of this amazing function of these microscopic cell compounds, we recommend reading the full page carefully which is found here. The structure and function of DNA.
However, in purely layman's terms, we will attempt to lay out the basics of these compounds.
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is described as being built in the shape of a double-railed winding staircase and when fully extended would be some six and one-half feet long! This gives some semblance of just how tiny these things are. Within these tiny strips are embedded instructions concerning every minute feature of its host. And every additional cell which develops must be given that code in order to replicate it. It is the purpose of the proteins to carry that information from the DNA to the new cell under construction. Biologists have learned that proteins are built perfectly to decode the DNA and transfer it to the new cell. The proteins have a single twisting strand of chemicals, unlike the double strain of the DNA. This single strand, helix, fits into the groove of the DNA helix and makes contact with the DNA code. That is by far an overly simplified description. But, once again, it is suggested that one read the information contained in the linked page above.
It is not our purpose to educate one in the make-up of these cells but, rather, show the miraculously accurate operation of these cells to produce other cells with common characteristics. With no brain, no obvious electronic tracks to move upon, yet they perform their tiny duties with precision and accuracy.
Our question is, how many billions of years would it take for these chemicals precision factors to come together from primordial soup and form such a precise cell and what would make it become a living cell? 14.5 billion just won't cut it. Nor will it if it is tripled, or multiplied by one with one trillion zeros. With all the outstanding accomplishments and instruments to work with and sterile surroundings, they still cannot make it happen in a modern laboratory.
So the dilemma is that of wondering why, when God has given them, not only the chemicals and materials which is required for life, but He also has given them premium instruments and opened up the very particulars which it takes to create life...and yet when they put those things together, there is no life. If they put them together and wait another 14.5 billions of years, there will still be none.
We must not skip the fact that ribonucleic acid (RNA) can transmit data from the DNA code but Proteins can also obtain data from the DNA and take it to other developing cells. If one stops to consider these amazing facts, knowing that neither of the compounds has any sort of a brain or electronic tracks to travel, etc. They simply do their job with no known means of direction.
It is without question, an amazing accomplishment that scientists have learned the many things concerning the operation of the universe, the human body and the many other highly technical fields. Yet, the one thing which is missing in their studies, rather than what they have personally achieved, is the existence of all of these amazing marvels, where ever they look are things virtually beyond the human's ability to comprehend. And, the mere fact that they have discovered it, does not diminish the fact that God created it all. Rather, it proves it beyond any doubt. Time and chance simply cannot produce all of the intrinsic factors which fall within our natural laws, but even more impossible is the fact that these natural laws exist. It has been absolutely proven by our natural laws that: (1) Something cannot be made from nothing. (2) Nothing physical can continue forever, nor can it have been here forever. (3) In order for this immense universe with it precise functioning, could not have been born from nothing. Anything has to have a cause. Even totally empty space would not exist with out a cause. The Biog-Bang could never have occurred, simply because there was not a singularity the size of a pencil dot...if indeed such did exist, from whence did it come?
Common sense and reason totally must end when we arrive at the point of nothing physical existing. Nothing. Since much does indeed exist, there absolutely is no answer except a supernatural mentality having existed forever and ever. When our people come to realize the in depth meaning of that circumstance, and turn their attention to investigation of that supernatural power, this world cannot help but become a better place.

Megafirms' Dance with Credit Investing
If you ask any large alternative asset managers what is the asset class to be in at the moment, you'd likely get a one-word answer: credit.
The response shouldn't come as a surprise, as the volatile and uncertain world we are living in has once again reinforced investors' crave for yield.
Just this morning, LBO Wire reported exclusively that the staff of the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association has recommended the pension system's investment board increase its allocation to what they call "opportunistic credit" investments, which include private loans and bonds, and securitized credit products such as commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Lacera's staff's recommendation is welcome news for megafirms that are raising or are contemplating raising credit-related funds. The last time private equity firms made a big push into credit investing was in 2009, months after the financial crisis.
This time around, firms say things are very different, according to an analysis published in the October issue of Private Equity Analyst. Europe is in much worse shape, the firms are saying. And this time around, fund managers are trying to differentiate themselves, with more than one manager saying that they are not a commodity.
Only time will tell how well the firms will fare this time, given that their investment track record in credit products is mixed at best. For now, managers don't want to waste any time laying the groundwork for new credit businesses or expanding existing platforms.
As Fred Goltz, head of credit strategies at Kolhberg Kravis Roberts & Co., put it in the article, "Maybe the financial crisis was the lightbulb that opened people's eyes. And this is the long-term follow-on to that lightbulb."
For more detail about the private equity industry's push into credit products and yield, check out this month's issue of Private Equity Analyst.

Man admits domestic assaultOctober 04,2013Man ignores his
lawyer with plea
A Rutland man previously convicted of a federal gun charge ignored his lawyers advice Monday and pleaded guilty to domestic assault.
Steven J. McAuley, 33, pleaded guilty in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of second-degree aggravated domestic assault.
My client is entering into this plea against my advice, defense attorney Nelson Floyd told Judge Theresa DiMauro.
Floyd said his client had received alternative offers that would be better for his criminal record and better for his future.
In August, McAuley was sentenced to 63 months in U.S. District Court in Rutland for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Under his plea agreement Monday, McAuley was sentenced to 44 to 45 months in prison, to be served concurrently with his federal sentence.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Porter, Lewis (Robert)
Porter, Lewis (Robert) [Portnoff, Lewis Robert], pianist, teacher, author; b. Scranton, PA, 14 May 1951. While he was an infant his family moved to Minn., MN, and then to North Decatur, GA (his parents divorced there in 1955). In Feb. 1958 his mother (born Carol Reiss, 1924) and two brothers (Spence, b. 1948; Gilbert, b. 1953) moved to the Bronx, in NYC, where they remained. His father, Arthur Portnoff (1924-2000) changed the family name to Porter ca. 1952.
Lewis had violin lessons from about age 10-12, then taught himself piano, becoming dedicated to jazz from about the age of 14, and eventually obtaining one year of lessons at the Eastman School of Music while in college at the University of Rochester (BA in psychology, 1972), where he also played in a combo class led by Chuck Mangione and began performing gigs on campus. He took a second year of lessons with classical recitalist Vivian Taylor while he was teaching part-time at Tufts University (he was the first faculty director of its student-led jazz band and directed a major jazz festival there in the early 1980s) and completing his MA in Music Theory there (1977-79) under his mentor, composer T.J. Anderson. He also earned an M.Ed. in Counseling at Northeastern U. in 1976. He received a PhD in Musicology from Brandeis University in 1983, having founded the jazz ensemble there while he continued to teach, now full-time, at Tufts, before moving in the fall of 1986 to Rutgers University in Newark, NJ, where he has remained. In the mid-90s he studied piano for a third year, with Andy LaVerne. He also had about six months of training each on saxophone and later with Keith Copeland on drums, performing extensively on the saxophone between about 1974 and 1994, and a few voice lessons (he sometimes scats in concert).
Dr. Porter founded the Master's program in Jazz History and Research at Rutgers-Newark in the fall of 1997. Well known as an author and scholar, in 2002 he began editing a series of books on jazz for the University of Michigan press. He continues to advise other publishers about books they are considering. He was one of five people nominated for a Grammy in 1996 for their role in producing the boxed set of Coltrane's Atlantic Recordings (under Best Historical Reissue). Other awards include a New Jersey Governor's Fellowship in the Humanities, 1989-1990; a New Jersey Department of Higher Education Grant to teach college jazz educators, summer 1988, Rutgers-Newark; and a Massachusetts Council On The Arts and Humanities Grant to teach high school jazz educators, summer 1985, Tufts U. He was a coauthor with Chris Rich on two Massachusetts Council On The Arts and Humanities grants to commision new works from Ornette Coleman (1987) and Butch Morris (1988) through Tufts University.
He has remained active as a pianist, and, increasingly, as a composer. He has performed in a variety of styles, with Dan Faulk, Kenny Wessel, Harvie S, Don Friedman, Yoron Israel, Alan Dawson, Gregg Bendian, Matt LaVelle, Daniel Carter, Judi Silvano, in solo recitals, with the Indian Jazz Ensemble (which he founded in order to perform with four faculty members of the Ali Akbar Khan school in San Francisco, 1973), and others. He has spoken and performed at colleges (Berklee, North Texas, many others), jazz clubs (Birdland, Knitting Factory, others), and radio stations in the U.S., Denmark, Italy, Germany, and England. His first CD, Second Voyage, was issued on the Swiss label Altrisuoni in 2002.
His children from his first marriage are Rachel (b.1991) and Matthew (b.1987); in 2000 he married for the second time, and was divorced again in 2003.
Recordings, Broadcasts, & Films:
-Second Voyage, with guest Dave Liebman (rec. 2000); Matt Glaser: Play, Fiddle, Play (1986).
-About 30 unissued audiotapes and three videotapes of performances from ca. 1970 on, with George Garzone, David Kikoski, Gerry Hemingway, Tom Varner, Jimmy Lyons, Alan Dawson, Terri Lyne Carrington, Joe Cohn, Don Friedman, Herb Pomeroy, Frank Lowe, Butch Morris, Herb Pomeroy, and others.
-Live radio performances on WBRS-FM (Brandeis U.; ca. 1983), WNYC-FM (Manhattan; 1995) and WBGO-FM (Newark, NJ; 2002).
-Numerous radio interviews across the U.S. and in England and Denmark; numerous interview segments as part of radio documentaries in the U.S. (NPR, All Things Considered, Jazz Profiles, etc.) and England (BBC).
-Interviews on several New Jersey TV stations and on BET TV.

Udayana Kingfisher Eco Lodge buil on Green Globe eco principles was designed by Meryl Wilson,, an internationally known eco designer in a conservation area (now also a bird sanctuary) on the campus of Udayana University. This lodge was a result of the friendship between Alan Wilson and The Rector, Nyoman Sutawan. Over the past 17 years, this lodge has become the nerve centre of Ecolodges Indonesia which now has six eco lodges spanning this vast country. The company now has it's own eco certification system based on six pillars of Eco Tourism established by The University of Western Sydney.
This is the first small hotel to be eco certified by Green Globe in Indonesia.
We have developed environmentally friendly buildings with the use of solar power for hot water, an extensive rain water storage system, and the use of a biological sewage treatment plant where all waste water is returned to the gardens through irrigation, a recycling rubbish system and employ only local people.
One of the end results is the beautiful gardens (for example we have 22 types of bougainvillea in the gardens). The university has also granted us a protected area where an attempt is made to protect all birds, butterflies, wildlife and plants. There is a large and diverse number of birds and butterflies recorded in the grounds of The Lodge.
The lodge is considered an "eco hotel" because it fulfils the six main components of eco tourism, namely:
- depends on the natural environment
- is ecologically sustainable
- is proven to contribute to conservation
- features an environmental training program
- incorporates cultural considerations
- provides a net economic return to the local community.
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.

- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened.
- To serve, top Tater Tots with beef mixture, cheese, lettuce and, if desired, olives. Serve with taco sauce and sour cream. Yield: 6 servings.
Reviews for Tater Tot-chos
"I added chopped onion and green, red, and yellow bell pepper while cooking ground beef. This turned out so good and was so easy to make. The tater tots give it a whole different taste than regular tacos. Would also make be good burrito filling."
"This is both good and simple, very easy to adapt to various tastes. I'm a fan of tater-tots because they're gluten-free. (I think the only thing I haven't put either over or under tots is spaghetti sauce and I'll probably try that, too.)"
"Great recipe.Increase the meat & cheese, add some onion & black beans."
"Very easy and adaptable to what you have on hand. Husband really enjoyed it!"
"This was a neat idea, we used more meat than stated and added some chiken. Some rolled them up like meat and potato burritos. We might do this again, it wasn't a huge hit."

Since that time, the Saudi state has been based on the principles of consultation whose shura councils were based for their part on adherence to Islamic instructions, commitment to the sources of Islamic legislation and observance of national interests of the people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The King added that this "link was enhanced by the policy of the open door, application of justice for all and providing equal chances for everybody."[more highlights from the King's speech]

Paralegals can expand pro bono services to those in need. Pro bono legal work offers paralegals the opportunity to use their professional skills and abilities to assist members of their community. In return, pro bono offers paralegals the opportunity for personal satisfaction, professional growth and recognition.
There are numerous opportunities for paralegals to do pro bono work in existing or new programs. The roles of pro bono paralegals vary depending on the nature of the program. A paralegal can perform many tasks under the guidance of an attorney, such as interviewing clients, drafting legal documents, representing clients in administrative hearings, providing referrals and collecting and disseminating discovery.
The following are a few examples of pro bono work being done by paralegals in Illinois:
To search for pro bono opportunities for paralegals in Illinois click here.
Paralegals should keep in mind the ethical considerations when participating in pro bono work. According to the National Federation of Paralegal Associations, paralegals should know how the unauthorized practice of law statutes in each jurisdiction applies to pro bono participation.

Beautiful Visuals Deserve A Beautiful Website
With this thought in mind, we decided to create Showtime, a Joomla template that allows you to display, classify, and organize a huge amount of visual information. Showtime is the perfect template to showcase great works of photographers, illustrators, videographers, creative people, creative agencies, or freelancers to name a few.
New Joomla Extension Release
Easy Social Icons is the first of many new Joomla Extensions we will release this year. Our Joomlashack Extensions were designed by Joomla Professionals to make running Joomla Sites Easier and more productively. Our Joomla Extensions provide you with the kind of tools, service, and benefits that you WISH you could use in EVERY site you build.
A couple weeks ago we announced the move of The Wright Joomla Template Framework to Github in an effort to make it more accessible and invite collaboration. In addition to opening up and inviting collaboration, we're also expanding our efforts to showcase the work of those who adopt Wright for their site development needs! In this our first Wright Wednesday Developer Showcase we're excited to share a short interview and the work of Dianne Henning, organizer and site developer for Joomla Day Boston.
You have to see this Template - Demo
Imago is a modern, hip, and colorful new Joomla Template from Joomlashack. If you appreciate new and clean designs, you are going to love it. It is the first of what we are calling our Designer Series templates. If you are obsessive about typography, color balance, use of white space, and simplicity, you are going to love these templates.
A great Joomla Template Framework is now even better
Last August we announced a major update to our Wright Template Framework. With this update, we were among the first in the industry to provide templates and support for Joomla 3.0, while also introducing a host of great new features, including responsiveness. This was a big step for Wright, made even greater because we did not lose sight of Wright's trademark lightness - - we made it even lighter still.
New Joomla Extension Clubs at the Shack
Our Joomla Template Developer Clubs have been best sellers at the Shack since 2005. Known for their unlimited template use and entitlements, the Shack's template clubs are loved by thousands of club members - just ask around. Interested in providing you with the same level of value and service, we are now proud to present you with our new Developer Extension Clubs. - Learn More, Clubs & Prices
Incredible Updates, and Incredible Offers!
We're excited to announce that Admincredible's beta has undergone a major update to the component. This new update lays the foundation for many great new features to be added in the coming weeks, and we'd like to invite you to take advantage of a special opportunity to join The Hall of Heroes, our Founder's Club, and start taking advantage of our great new features! With this new update, we have made some major improvements to the code which will allow:
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy - a New Joomla Template!
We are proud to bring you this awesome new Joomla Template. You may have seen other "Pinterest-Style" templates, but we have worked hard to make this one unique - - we know you'll enjoy it. Stay tuned: we are already working on the next 3 works of art.
The Memo Plugin: Create a Pinboard out of Joomla Articles
Other Pinterest style Joomla Templates allow you to create your "pinboard" using modules, but we were not content with that. The Joomlashack Team put in the extra effort to create added functionality that enables this new Responsive Joomla Template to use regular Joomla articles to populate the pinboard - - see it HERE. The Memo plugin is extremely light thus avoiding innecessary animations.
A time to reflect
2012 has been the busiest year in the history of the Shack. When putting together this review, I was amazed to see just how many products we worked on and released during 2012. It is a testament to the great work this small but highly capable team was able to accomplish and it deserves well-deserved praise. We released more Joomla Templates than every major template company.
At Joomlashack we pride ourselves on our technical prowess with Joomla and I think its safe to say we're a pretty intelligent group. So we want to test that. Are you up to the IQ Challenge contest? Don't worry, We're not really going to test your IQ in the way you think. In fact, what we really mean is can you come up with a good search engine optimization question, meaning an "Interesting Question" or IQ that has you stumped and you would like or SEO College Director to solve? And if we can be so bold, we guarantee you we'll answer it with AI (answer with intelligence).

A Conversation with Director JOSEPH OXFORD and Cinematographer BRADLEY STONESIFER of "ME + HER" (Official Selection, 2014 Sundance Film Festival).
A Don't Miss! We welcome both director Joseph Oxford and cinematographerBradley Stonesifer for a special conversation on DIY Filmmaking and screening of "Me + Her," a live action fantasy short where all of the main characters and sets were built out of standard cardboard boxes on a one fifth scale – and shot using theBlackmagic Cinema Camera and Pocket Cinema Camera.
ME + HER. A Cardboard Love Story:
When Jack and Jill of Cardboard City are separated by JIll's torrid illness, Jack must think outside the box to assure they will be together again.

AHA Moment
Thursday, August 16, 2012
As I read an entry on the Daily Spark this morning, I realized that I could have written most of it myself. I'm posting this here so I don't make her blog about me, but she made me think. I, too, thought that if you had reasons for being overweight, it meant you were abused. I was fortunate to have had a wonderful family growing up who always believed in me. But I gained some weight when my mother passed away when I was 24 (not a lot of weight) and then a (I thought very good) friend dropped me because she didn't like being around overweight people! She actually said that! I think that her comment, 28 years ago, made me feel like I wasn't worth it. And at the time, I probably had 30 pounds, not 100 to lose! I realized a few years ago that I had let her have incredible power over me so I no longer care what she thinks. I'm sure she doesn't give me a thought. But it has been hard to repair the damage that she caused. I am worth it and, not to judge (okay, I guess I am judging) I am not the sort of shallow person who could hurt someone else that way. But every day that I make bad food choices and don't exercise (more days than not) it reinforces those feelings. Every day I mean to journal, not just food, and I think it would be helpful to see what I do have, what I am good at, why my family and friends love me. I've heard many times that you wouldn't think those things about someone else, why would you think them about yourself. I guess I have a lot of work to do. I so appreciate everyone out there who motivates and inspire. Thank you!

My heart goes pout to you. I just read a blog of yours for the first time. You had writtren a blog ttitled disappointed. This old friend of yours said cruel words, and I can't imagine what it must had been like to lose a friend based on soly how you looked. I used to get teased and treated badly becuase I am black/German one year while I was in elementry school. Although I knew they werew wrong to treat me that way, and I realized these people were not people I would want to be friends with anyway, it still hurt. Although that was over 25 years ago, I can still remembwe that year well. I was fortunate that my family moved and I never got teased based on how I looked again. My mom, seeing her daughter sobing after she came home from school many times tour her up, I know this now. I know my mom said a lot of prayers for me though, and it was God who changeds things for me. It is easy to remember the sad times the bad times in your life and let words or expereinces which happened 20 30 years ago come into our memory and hurt us as though it happened just yesterday. We all struggle with it, yet no one really talks about it.
I do not think that you were ever abused. However, there is a possiblity that you have at times allowed past emotional scars which have not been healed to defeat your postive feelings about yourself- to the point itmay have led you to your current atitude about yourself. You may have a preety good self esteem, but it is easy to allow yourself to think the wrost about yourself, even though you know deep down the things you think and say about yourself are wrong.
With God's help you can defeat these negative thoughts, and turn them around. Giod sees you and knows you like no one else sees you and knows you. He sees your heart, and knows your love and your goodness which is displayed in hiow you treat others.
I believe in YOU! I have faith that you can meet your goals, and change your life. I have said some prayers for you as I started reading yoiur 2 blogs. Through Christ we can do all things!

Good for you. Take one day at a time. Start exercising with 10 minutes a day and work up. You can feel success in ten minutes..
Start with one thing- exercise and then after awhile work with food. Get junk food out of house. do this for you!! You deserve it.

Sometimes we forget how those old feelings, caused by something said or done many years ago, have set us up for failure.
I'm happy that you have turned that corner and now are able to focus on what you need to do to become the person you truly are! The mind is very powerful, you know. It's okay to love yourself and put yourself first. I'm still working on that one myself.
Good luck!

Like I mentioned her body is very slim and petite. She has tiny A-cup breasts with sexy little nipples that I just wanted to playfully bite and suck. Elle enjoys pinching them and gets them quite erect. She then runs her hands down her flat sexy belly and then between her milky white thighs where the real hidden gem is hiding – her tight little pink pussy!
These shots are a mere prick tease of course. You can see way more of Elle Alexandra at 18 Eighteen by becoming a member. You will then be able to download all of her pictures and videos as well as hundreds more stunningly hot teen models.
Call me shallow but it's what is between this teens legs that had me memorized. I don't think I have seen a more pretty little pussy all year. That is the type of slit I would just love to lick slowly all night long.
You can see close to a quarter of million high resolution professional photos of the most beautiful young teens at Met Models. I never tire of the quality of their content and the gorgeous young women they feature. If you like what you see here I suggest you consider joining.
When I saw this episode of Pure 18 featuring the very sweet Holly Hanson I was more than eager to see her little body naked. In this video she gets a visit from the cops and is in a world of trouble. She tries her luck getting out of it by bribing the hunky officer. Not with money of course but by offering him herself. What man could resist getting a taste of her red haired pussy? Not me that is for sure!
See what happens next in the big high def video available only to Pure 18 members. Become a full member and also get access to all the sites in the massive Reality Kings network thrown in free.
Take a peek at some free preview pictures from one of her recent site updates. This set features her fooling around her daddys office while she is home alone. She lifts her skirt and reveals she is not wearing panties. We see plenty of pink as Tiny Miley spreads her delicate little pussy lips and gives us a close up view.
See way more at her site Tiny Miley. There are loads of pictures and video sets featuring the pretty redhead in and out of all sorts of sexy outfits.
If you join her site you also get complimentary access to all the sites in Solo Access network too.
Luckily for us Cameron turned up at I Am Eighteen to film her debut nude and hardcore shoot. One of her girlfriends Priscella had only a few months earlier filmed a hot video for them and earned a lot of cash doing it so Cam was more than eager to get started the moment she became legal. God I love the internet!!
As you can see from these sample video clips Cameron gets her pretty mouth fucked as her co-star pushes his fat dick down her throat. He also probes that thick tool deep into her tight little shaved pussy.
Pretty little Cameron Love earned her first pay check that's for sure. Be sure to visit I Am Eighteen to check out the huge 43 minute long video and all the photos.
And at times I've thought to myself, if I could only have one website where I could view all of their wonderful content, what site would it be? My answer always seems to be Nubiles.net and after one look at this busty teen you will understand why. A perfect example of the sexy and intriguing girls from Nubiles, this babe is the perfect mix of cute teenager, with the ass and tits of a healthy young woman. Proud of her youthful body she wastes no time baring all for you to see. By the time she's done she's revealed a glorious set of full breasts that still appear to be filling out, a tight, thin waist, and a near perfect round ass. I love how you can just barely see her little twat through her small little muff.

Funny, Martha's face kind of reminds of the red head woman from Desperate Housewives. Well, this is what I would imagine her to look like when she was younger. I guess this is one of the reasons I want to grudge fuck this 18 year old girl so bad. Fucking a rich bitch is something I always enjoy ha! Either way Martha has a spectacular lithe body.
Her perky tits sit high on her chest and look like they are still growing and I find her flat smooth belly sexy as all get out! And in these pics I was happy to see Martha gives us a peek at that pretty 18 year old pussy! She's got a nice trimmed landing strip under those panties.
It's no surprise that Martha is a Nubiles teen. Nubiles have very high standards and only feature the sexiest and most beautiful teen models. In saying this though they have been around forever and now have thousands of these coed hotties in their stable. Whether you like your teen girls with blonde hair, brunettes, big tits, small tits, shaved pussies they've got them. This is a teen megasite in every sense of the word and you'll never run out of young babes to gaze at. There is seriously years worth of eyecandy on offer in their massive members area. I got my password a long long time ago and still haven't seen it all. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

The Floating Brothel: The Extraordinary True Story of an… (2001)
by Sian Rees
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is amazing, it is brilliantly written and enjoyable to read, at the same it is informative and educational with regards to the Colony that was the beginning of Australia
Great and informative book, educational and shocking, overall I would recommend you read this in your life time before it is forgotten
A little plodding in parts, but lively enough. Rees makes some observations about the relativity of justice and morality across time, but the bulk of her story is simply carried forward by the facts and the intimate narrative of John Nicol, retrieved decades later by a friendly ghost writer. Anyone with an interest in crime and punishment in late Georgian England, or in the colonisation of Australia would do well to stop with this book a while, but I'd recommend reading it alongside Tim Flannery's reissue of John Nicols 'The Life and Adventures of John Nicol, Mariner'.
All that said, the book is nowhere near as lively as bhowell's review of it here in LibraryThing. In fact bhowell's description of the book, and the book itself seem to part company in a radical kind of way after about 100 pages. For all of that, if Hollywood ever made a movie of Rees' book bhowells could certainly have written the script. Having checked out some of bhowell's other reviews this seems to be something of an entertaining aberration on her part.
A raw piece of Australian history
Wow! Captivating 18th century British and Australian history. Stories of the lives of a shipfull of convict women on their way to Van Diemen's Land. Sometimes written more like a novel than a history. Sometimes slow, but fascinating read.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (3)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0747266328, Paperback)In July 1789, 237 women convicts left England for Botany Bay in Australia on board a ship called The Lady Julian, destined to provide sexual services and a breeding bank for the men already there. This is the enthralling story of the women and their voyage. Based on painstaking research into contemporary sources such as letters, trial records and the first-hand account of the voyage written by the ship's steward, John Nicol, this is a riveting work of recovered history. The Floating Brothel brilliantly conjures up the sights, sounds and particularly the smells of life on board ship at the time and is populated by a cast of larger-than-life characters you will never forget.

Other: Kaltura Video Package
Kaltura's Video Package for Moodle 2.x makes it easy to add the robust capabilities of Kaltura's open
source online video platform to any Moodle site. The package was developed specifically for Moodle
and integrates with other features and modules, such as resources and activities, so that users can
upload and embed media easily.
The package adds the following features for all users:
* My Media: users' personal media gallery, for uploading, viewing, managing, and sharing media
* Create screen recordings and use them in the Kaltura activities
* Integration as an external repository with the file picker accessible from the text editor: embed your media or media you have access to, anywhere you can author text
In addition, Teachers and Admins have the following features available:
* Video Resource activity: Easily add video content to your course as a specialized resource
* Video Presentation activity: Create a synchronized view of a Document and a Video
* Video Assignment activity: Allows students to submit videos as an assignment submission
* View engagement reports for videos used on your course
Version information:
Please take note of the version of Moodle you have and the version of the plug-in you are installing. The Download page states which version of Moodle the version of the plug-in is for.
Version information example: Kaltura release 3.0.96 (RL: 18.104.22.168)
3.0.96 is the version of the plug-in that Kaltura has release. It does not correspond to any Moodle version number and it should be referenced when contacting Kaltura support.
RL: 126.96.36.199 is our internal version. The first two points (2.5) correspond to the version of Moodle that it has been tested with (Moodle 2.5.x).

- Fri, Feb 13, 2015, 3:52 AMHello,
I'm trying to install this plugin (2.8 or 2.7 V) to moodle 2.8.3. This is the error I have received "Invalid structure of the ZIP package". Can someone help me?
- Sat, May 2, 2015, 12:09 AMHi,
So I'm a Moodle administrator / developer for the University of Wisconsin - Madison. We're in the process of upgrading our sites to Moodle 2.8, and this plugin just doesn't work on Moodle 2.8, even though the plugins page says that the most recent version does.
In looking through and debugging, it appears that the issue deals with the LTI api changing for Moodle 2.8 due to LTI 2 becoming available. The biggest thing that I've found is that the resource link id paramter is missing from the request as that's what the KAF sends back as an error.
After attempting to add this back in my local code of your plugin, and then trying to launch I get Access Denied from the KAF. Are you guys working on this?
And if not, or are very early in the process, how might I help speed this up?
- Fri, Jun 5, 2015, 2:06 AMWe are also having the same problem at the University of Portland as John Hoopes described. Getting a "Video is not available on this site" message when trying to use the Atto Kaltura Media embed button. Also, the Kaltura Media text filter does not work properly when attempting to copy/paste a video URL into the text editor. We are on Moodle 2.8. Was this plugin actually tested with 2.8?
- Fri, Jun 26, 2015, 10:47 PMHey, please I need help with Kaltura plugin on moodle 2.6. I'm a new user here. How do I use the plugin I downloaded from the internet. I used the one on this page and right now when i try to upload a video i get the error: invalid url. Im using a wamp server on windows 8.1. I've searched round the internet for answers. Please what do i do?
- Wed, Oct 21, 2015, 7:32 PMHello
The plugin name is "Kaltura release 4.0.07 for Moodle 2.9 (2015091609)" but... it's works only for Kaltura version 4? Because I'm working with Kaltura CE 9.19 and I don't know if its works and if the release 4.0.07 it's about the plugin or about Kaltura.
- Wed, Nov 4, 2015, 12:52 AMHello,
We are just enabling the Kaltura plugin at the University of Illinois. The one thing that I notice is that the plugin uses a separate module for the Kaltura Media Assignment. This is the way that assignments used to work in Moodle, but there have been updates since version 2.2. Are there plans to integrate the Kaltura Media Assignment as a submission type in the regular Moodle assignment module. This would make the Kaltura plugin work more in line with how other things work in Moodle.

The deadline to get health insurance is approaching next month. Last week in his nationwide address to the public, President Obama spoke on the issues of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)/Obamacare.
The President asserted that the Obamacare website glitches have been resolved, and representatives are prepared to help millions of people. Prior to the law, tons of problems existed with healthcare. Citizens were spending too much money on insurance. Many were denied benefits because they had pre-existing conditions like cancer, diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis. Some were rejected because they were victims of poverty stricken families. Small businesses also struggled financially and were forced to shift employees to a part-time status in order to avoid steep insurance rates.
With the newly enforced low premiums, everyone qualifies for health insurance. People will have the opportunity to purchase health insurance regardless of their income status. Whether you are employed or on public assistance, you can purchase healthcare at an affordable rate. And, if you are a Medicaid recipient, your rates will remain constant.
Residents of Montgomery County, MD are taking a stance on healthcare. Nancy Navarro, Montgomery County Council Member, plans to introduce a bill at their next meeting to enforce Obamacare at organizations located within the County. Those who opt out of the healthcare plan would receive an increase in living wages to acquire their own health insurance.
All employees will have some sort of coverage if they intend to be employed within the County. Unlike the current bill, employers can pay employees below the living wage if they offer a benefits package which includes health insurance.
Although some residents may not have access to health insurance, Navarro hopes that they can at least ensure all government employees are covered. The meeting is scheduled for February 4, 2014.
Several people are expected to be enrolled in a health insurance plan this year. Those who do not purchase insurance are required to list it on their tax returns. Adults will be penalized with a $95 fee and children will pay $47.50 or 1% of income for the first year. The fees will increase in 2015 to $325 per adult and $162.50 for children or 2% of income. Each year the fees are expected to increase.
To avoid any tax penalties, President Obama has mandated that all individuals acquire health insurance coverage by March 31, 2014. Open enrollment is currently available at www.healthcare.gov.

College Hockey:RIT gets three in the third to overcome Concordia (Minn.)
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Kolbee McCrea's hat trick led No. 1 Rochester Institute of Technology over Concordia (Minn.) 5-2 in an NCAA Women's Division III quarterfinal at Ritter Arena.
The teams were tied 2-2 at the end of the second period before RIT broke things open with three goals in the final period.
"We talked in the locker room (between the second and third periods) about how it came down to this," said RIT coach Scott McDonald. "Win the third period and you go to the Frozen Four. Lose and you start over in September."
Both teams scored on their first shot on goal. RIT's came just 1:27 into the contest when Marissa Maugeri floated a shot from the blue line that eluded Cobbers goaltender Rebecca Hendrickson.
Concordia's first shot didn't come until the 12:21 mark when Breann Julius broke down the right side put a short-side shot past Tiger goaltender Laura Chamberlain.
"I was just trying to get something on net and it worked," said Julius, who also had an assist in the game.
That assist came just 1:18 later on the power play when she found Kelsey Vandegrift in the slot, who beat Chamberlain five-hole to make it 2-1 Concordia.
Allowing two goals on only two shots obviously concerned McDonald, who considered pulling Chamberlain.
"I'm glad we have a good goalie coach," said McDonald. "[Jared Demichiel] got me settled down and said to give [Chamberlain] another period. We knew we had a good enough team to come back from a one-goal deficit."
McCrea wasted little time in tying the score in the second period, getting the first of her three goals at 2:01. She fought to keep the puck in at the Concordia blue line and then worked a give-and-go with Tenecia Hiller to tie the game.
"That one got us started," said McCrea. "We just kept trying to get pucks on net and it finally worked."
McCrea's second goal of the game came at 4:31 of the third period and put RIT ahead for good. She took a behind-the-net feed from Courtney Kunichika and roofed a backhand past Hendrickson.
The Tigers would put the game away with goals from Hiller and another from McCrea.
The Tigers outshot the Cobbers 25-13.
"There's a reason why they're No. 1," said Concordia coach Brett Bruininks. "We expected them to play hard and be disciplined. I think we made adjustments and they made adjustments as the game went on. We just ran out of gas."
"I think we got what we expected from them," added Hiller. "We hadn't seen them before, but we knew they were a good, physical team."
Besides the hat trick, McCrea got an impromptu haircut when a skate sliced off about five inches of her ponytail during a scramble in front of the Concordia net.
"It looked like a dead squirrel on the ice," joked McDonald. "I guess it saves her mom the cost of a haircut."
The top-ranked Tigers are the favorite to again host the Division III championship next weekend. RIT lost on home ice to Norwich in the title game last season.
"We remember that feeling and it's motivated us all season," said Hiller.
"We're right where we want to be," said McDonald. "I'll put this team up against anyone."

The Westville Hotel – a responsive web design
It's an absolute age (well, just over 4 months) since I wrote this post saying that I was developing a responsive website for the Westville Hotel, in Enniskillen. Well, after several changes of staff with the client, and at least two complete redesigns, we've finally launched this morning!
Exciting stuff.
So, yes, it's a responsive site. What does this mean? Well, it means that the site will meet the user no matter what device it is accessed on. So, the layout changes depending on whether it's being accessed via a smartphone, a tablet, or a lovely 27 inch monitor. The code base stays the same – this isn't a separate site – it just adapts to it's environment. Smart.
I firmly believe that this is the way the web should be built. It's the only way that doesn't involve duplicated content, or some huge compromise of functionality.
This example is not perfect – notably, the booking engine is hosted by a 3rd party which does not provide a responsive experience (which is hugely frustrating, but we can't do anything about that yet. Yet.) – and the sign up form for the email newsletter needs some work on the lower screen sizes, but it's a huge step in the right direction.
As Above, So Below
Sometimes I'm just about the luckiest person I know. One of those times was yesterday when the most deliciously colourful, sumptuous and beautiful piece of artwork arrived on my doorstep. It came courtesy of the Kenspeckle Letterpress. It's hard to do it justice on such a small web page. In real life it measures 4ft by 3ft. That's huge! Laurena and I are both so thrilled with it.
So, I know, I know … 'Where an I get mine?' … well, just here as a matter of fact: As Above, So Below. Ours was a custom size, so you'd have to get in touch with Kenspeckle if you wanted one that large (they go up to 5 feet wide!) … but it'd be stunning at any size.
(Lara sees it as trees. Jonah sees it as rain – the Irish in him, I first saw it as river delta's but now can't get past trees. I'll update later with Laurena's take!)
Retail Website for Belleek Outlet Shopping
This is the first hyper-local project I've worked on in a while … but it's fun to get this local sometimes! So … let me tell you a little story …
There was a shop here in Belleek that had traded for 50 years. Owned and run by 2 brothers, McGraths stocked a seemingly random assortment of things you might never need but were perhaps tickling somewhere at the back of your mind ( '… y'know, I've never owned a Bodhrán … perhaps now's the time. Or, I could get that pair of wellies I've always wanted').
Obviously, they did this successfully enough, but the thing I will always remember it for were for it's shop dummies. Writing this I cannot believe I never took a photo of them, but trust me – they'll live long in my memory. They were all blessed with a deathly green hue more at home in some zombie movie. Some had 4 fingers on each hand – others fewer. Their hair styling was, well, agricultural. But dammit, they had personality.
Anyway … brushing all of that aside, in stepped Belleek Outlet Shopping and with them a breath of modernity. It's a 3 phase development – phases 1 (menswear, ladies wear, accessories) and 2 (shoes, bags) are up and running, and we just launched the website too. Good stuff.
It's not often that websites I work on are supported by a national TV Ad campaign, but they advertised throughout the Rugby World Cup in the autumn and also the X-Factor.
The whole thing has been such a boon to our local area. On a Saturday it's now often standing room only in the local coffee shop and it's great to see lots of their carrier bags swinging merrily from shoppers hands. A small village like Belleek needs enterprises like this and I wish them every success.
Mobile web design considerations
Have just written a lengthy page on mobile web design considerations … I've got it as a page, rather than as a regular post because it will eventually feature more prominently on the site … but for now, that's where it is. I'm gearing up for some changes here at TickTock – 2012 is going to be different for me … I'm going to be undergoing a re-alignment in terms of the projects I'll be working on and in terms of the clients I work with. More of which soon enough – suffice to say, I'll be doing a lot more work in mobile web design … so I thought it best to have some general information available to people on their options: check it out.
Apple Store in Grand Central
For 3 extremely memorable years, I was lucky enough to walk through Grand Central Station, NYC twice a day, almost every day. To say it's an inspiring building would be damning it with faint praise as well as stating the bleeding obvious. It's one of my favourite buildings and so much of it is so perfectly suited to it's primary uses – it's like a cathedral for commuters, tourists, diners, hangers-around … it's wonderful.
And now it has an Apple store. There must have been so many constraints placed on Apple when they were designing this particular store – I'm sure everything needed to go through many layers of bureaucracy and that hundreds of hoops were jumped through. But the result is stunning – and result in a store that both looks like a completely natural fit and one that has been there for ever. Beautiful.
Recent reading and useful links from around and about
So, over the week I build up a collection of open tabs in my browser which need reading … and finally, I had a little bit of time this morning to finish them off. Listed below for your clicking pleasure:
- First off, a series of three articles from .net magazine (y'know, I wish they'd rename … I keep getting horrible Microsoft framework flashbacks) in their 'Insiders Guide' feature. It's the 'Insiders Guide to a successful website' – the three articles covering design, build and promote. A good breakdown from Laurence McCahill – co-founder of Spook Studio.
- Secondly, a couple of bits for the responsive minded amongst us … this great guide on 'Essential Considerations for crafting quality media queries' Such a simple thing, a little media query but – apparently – an awful lot to consider. Certainly, discussion about break points is necessary – I'm working on a responsive project at the moment and have settled on just 2 break points (tablet and iPhone) – but this will change from project to project … and with the increasing proliferation of devices.
- Then, the best article I think I've ever read on the why and the how (in terms of the considerations – rather than the nuts and bolts) you should start your responsive project – this from Elaine Simpson at UX Booth: How to design a responsive mobile website.
- Finally, a little bit for us web designers – how to be your own best promoter. It's not often we get to work 'on' our business rather than 'in' our business – but here are a few tips on how to do some of your own marketing.
That's it for now. I'm still working away on the responsive project I blogged about the other week … it really should be launching soon and when it does I'll be able to write about it properly again!
Front end coding for a responsive web
So then, the time has come to start a client project from scratch using purely responsive techniques (as defined by Ethan Marcotte's book Responsive Web Design). I've retro-fitted some responsive techniques to previous client sites, but this will be the first 'responsive' project I'm starting from scratch. The three core 'ingredients' for this responsive website are:
- A flexible, grid based layout
- Flexible images and media
- Media queries
If, at this point you're going 'huh, what?', then in essence I want to create a website that responds to the restraints and opportunities offered by the readers device – using the same code base. So, rather than serving a separate, mobile version of a website, I'm going to code one version that will work across devices. That's the plan anyway.
What am I working with?
To help out with this, I'll be using the Less.app – a pre-processor for CSS, cutting down my coding time immeasurably (that's the theory), and the Semantic Grid – developed by the same guy as Less.app. Everything will be hand coded – and then converted into a WordPress theme.
And the project?
So, the client is The Westville Hotel – and below is a JPG of the design – with the 960px grid super-imposed on top.
My aim is to blog through the different stages of the development … the first stage will be to fire up Less.app and start working with the Semantic Grid. I'll let you know how I get on …
Amazons New Kindles – analysis from John Gruber
Typically astute and interesting reading from John Gruber following the announcement of Amazons New Kindles.
I don't own a Kindle, but if I was going to buy one – or, perhaps, y'know, maybe get one for Christmas – the new Kindle touch seems ideal. I love the e-ink of Kindle's that I have seen in use.
As Gruber points out, the Kindle Fire (the tablet version with web browser), is the first tablet that doesn't take the iPad on on spec – and offers something that none of the previous round of iPad competitors do: content.
It's all about the content, though. That's the difference that other tablet makers missed. Motorola, Samsung, RIM — they seem to be chasing the iPad on specs, building the best tablet they can manage at the same starting price of around $500. But they have no clear message telling people what you can do with them.
Daring Fireball: Amazons New Kindles
The thing that still prevents me though is that the price of an e-book is still higher than the price of a paperback. Given that distribution costs must surely be lower (even with all the new fancy cloud storage) and that you don't actually have to print the damn thing, I don't see why they can't at least bring the price point to the same level. Maybe they will.
And actually, thinking about it, outside of gifts most of my books are bought 2nd hand from either charity stores or from greenmetropolis.com. So.
Site Launch: Angelas Bella Flora – lovely florist in Duluth
Ah – so, after a good few months in design & development, we were able to launch Angela's Bella Flora website last week. I've blogged about this before whilst the site was in development and the good news is, it still looks gorgeous!
The photography, the design, the products, the overall feel of the site – is just wonderful. It's been a pleasure to work on it.
For those who are interested, the site has been built using PHP. The shopping cart itself is custom built – but the guts of it comes from a blog post that is now 6 years old (! – hard to credit, I know) from Matthew Pennell. It's a really handy little cart script – sure, it doesn't do everything we needed, but that's not the intention, it provides a solid enough base to begin with.
I'm proud of the development work, and thrilled once again to have worked with such a talented team on the project – so thanks again to Marian who did all of the design work for the site, and for the ultra patient, enthusiastic and talented team at Angela's Bella Flora – both Angela herself and Bonnie who have lived and breathed this project for a good while now.


text: Hi there, The packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages recommend that unversioned .so libraries should go into a -devel package. I'm reviewing a package, eclib, that has no versioned .so libraries at all: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476398 To satisfy the review requirements submitter put the .so into a -devel package and suppressed the main eclib package, as there are no versioned .so to package. It seems to make more sense to actually remove the -devel package and include them in the main eclib package. The guidelines don't appear to cover the case of packages that only consist of unversioned .so's. Ideally upstream would add the versioning, but currently don't support versioning the library. Either way, I would like to know what the best practice would be in this case, and ultimately it would be useful if there was an explicit guideline. Alex

ALMOST TWO years ago, my husband and I decided to invest in a Broadway show. We found a group that allows small investors to buy shares in a production for a minimum of $10,000 and got on the mailing list. For a few months, we received information on various shows: A Little Night Music with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury; Leap of Faith (based on the Steve Martin movie) with Brooke Shields; and a ballroom-dance spectacular called Burn the Floor. We said no to the first two (Night Music because, although we love Sondheim, not everyone does, and Leap of Faith because I didn't like the movie) but put $10,000 into the third. Why? It had two of the dancers from Dancing with the Stars, a huge hit. We thought that would be enough to make it thrive.
We pretty much figured wrong all around. Night Music made money for its investors. Leap of Faith tried out in L.A. and is currently being reworked for Broadway. And Burn the Floor? It opened but never caught fire. We haven't seen a dime—and the last communiqué to investors doesn't make it sound as if we will. "I think you'll probably lose it all," says Steven Baruch, a producer affiliated with Richard Frankel Productions (rfpny.com), the group we invested with.
Even though we lost our money, it was a thrill to be thatclose to the theater. There are certain investments—in wine, restaurants, art—that I lump into the category of "play money." If you're already funding your retirement and your kids' college, if you've avoided massive debt and are willing to take a flier on up to 10 percent of your portfolio, why not follow your bliss? Especially if you invest in a way that maximizes your chances of making the money back—and then some.
If it's grapes that get you going, there are two primary ways to buy in: by becoming involved with a winery and by acquiring bottles, storing them and hoping they appreciate. Though some investors choose option one, that's a bad idea, says Joe Bastianich, owner of four wineries. The price of admission is higher than that of most "passion" investments (high five figures to low six at a minimum), and holding on to that money is extremely difficult. "If you want to make a small amount of money in the winemaking business," he says, "the best thing to do is to start with a large amount." In other words, he advises that you steer clear entirely.
The second way—buying investment-grade wines when they're first put on sale (but aren't ready to drink) and holding them—"is how you can make money," Bastianich says. That's not to say it's easy. Choosing a wine to drink is about taste; choosing one to invest in is about finding a wine that will quickly appreciate in value. Websites like Wineprices.com and Wine-searcher .com keep data on how much money wines have sold for recently, and -Vinfolio.com has listings of wines for sale. You'll see that returns on some fine wines have been in the range of 12 to 14 percent annually.
How do you identify those "hot" wines? Start with Bordeaux, says Ann Feely, vice president of wine sourcing and sales for Vinfolio. "It's the one category that's traded like a stock and has proven to appreciate reliably," even through the recession. "In terms of the wine-investment world, Bordeaux is the safest."
It's important, when you're learning this market, to understand that there are hidden costs beyond the wine's purchase price. There's sales tax (which ranges from none in Delaware and Montana to more than 8 percent in New York and Tennessee) and, if you buy at auction, a commission to the auction house. Then you have to pay for storage. Renting a professional space that provides the right conditions costs about $20 a month for 10 to 12 cases and heads upward from there.
When investing in wine herself, Feely requires proof of provenance—a paper trail documenting who owned the wine for how long and how it got from place to place. For older wines, she may also request photos of the storage room and the cooling unit, as well as a monthly record of the room temperature. Finally, she prefers to buy wines by the case (12 bottles), and for Bordeaux in particular, she looks for the letters OWC, an indication that the wine is in its original wood case.
You may also need to take out a homeowners' insurance rider—-essentially a supplemental policy—to protect your investment against losses due to storage problems. (You need a homeowners' policy even if the wine is not stored at home; your insurance company can advise you.)
Of all the dream investments, art is the most democratic. "Whatever your budget," says Alan Bamberger, author of The Art of Buying Art, "you'll find something to buy." In fact, there are better returns on lower-priced works of art than on those that go for seven figures, according to the Mei Moses Repeat Sale Database. For example, art in the $5,000-to-$50,000 range produced an average annual return of 8.5 percent through 2010. Works priced from $50,000 to $1 million produced 6.9 percent, and those over $1 million, 4.4 percent. (Find more about the performance of art as an investment at artasanasset.com.)
Tempting as it may be to believe the pitch, avoid galleries that hawk so-called great investments, like Picasso prints, because of huge markups (sometimes as much as 90 percent of what you pay). Instead, start with work you like; art is fairly illiquid, so you may end up admiring it over your couch for a long time. Narrow your choices by examining the artist's résumé, generally available at any gallery where his or her work is sold. Be wary of artists featured solely in international collections. Ask: Whose collections? When and where were the shows? Are the galleries reputable and established? Also watch for gaps in productivity. "You want to be sure the artist is in it for the long haul rather than dabbling," says Bamberger. "A large body of work tends to produce better sales because a gallery is more interested in promoting an artist with 500 works than one with five."
Hit the Internet to gauge the price range of the artist's work, then use that information to negotiate with galleries and dealers. And when you're starting, avoid auctions, where you'll be competing against professionals. "Until you're educated," Bamberger says, "it's like stepping into the ring with a pro fighter when all you've done is watch boxers on TV."
"If the whole idea is that you always want to be able to score a reservation, stop right there," says Bastianich, who has opened more than 20 restaurants with his partner Mario Batali. "Vanity restaurant investments never make money." Instead, when you're looking for a partner, search for someone who is opening her first or second restaurant—that way, you know she'll be the one in the kitchen. You can also check out the website of the National Restaurant Association (-restaurant.org) as well as Nation's Restaurant News (nrn.com).
And remember, a restaurant is a business. "You have to figure out what it's going to cost to open, run and, realistically, how much revenue you can produce," says David Robkin, a -private-equity investor. Here's how deals typically work: "A chef will start by raising a few hundred thousand dollars from family and friends," says Robkin. "They form a limited partnership and arrange how to split the profits between the chef-owner and the investors." There's no standard business arrangement, but often initial investors get their money back plus interest, and then the chef-owner and investors split the rest fifty-fifty (or whatever percentage they've negotiated). "Because of the limited life of restaurants," says Robkin, "investors usually want to see their money back within three years." In Robkin's investments, he shoots for a minimum return of 20 percent annually: "If you can't figure out a way to make that much, you should find other things to do with your money."
Yes, the risks are high. Three out of five restaurants close within three years of opening. Also, "it's very hard to get your money out," says Robkin. "If you're in a partnership, you may sell your share to someone within the group, but it's hard to sell it outside the restaurant."
Finally, more on investing in the theater. I would do it again, but this time with lower expectations; now I know that only about 20 percent of Broadway investors make back their money. I would also think harder about whether I wanted to invest in a revival or a new show. Revivals, which tend to be beloved, have a built-in fan base and so are inherently less risky. What new shows offer is subsidiary rights: When you buy into that production, you also buy into all subsequent stagings. So when a high school in Montana puts on a production five years from now, you'll get a check.
To find the right show, says theater producer Ken Davenport, become a regular reader of Variety.com and Playbill.com. You're looking for posts about plays that are holding their first readings, which are intended to lure investors (contact information is usually provided). Another method, he suggests, is to look for the names of producers you like, Google them and ask to be put on their e-mail or investor lists (but watch out: Some require a minimum investment of $10,000 to $100,000).

The following is a list of the prize money up for grabs for professional women golfers at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship taking place from April 3rd to April 6th, 2014, at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.
Mission Hills Country Club is located near Palm Springs in Southern California, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles along Route 10.
The Kraft Nabisco Championship is considered a major in women's golf, and every player on the LPGA Tour would love to win the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. The tournament has been played since 1972, and the Kraft Nabisco Championship has been considered a major since 1983.
The Kraft Nabisco Championship also has the distinction of being the first major played on the LPGA Tour annually. Three players, Amy Alcott (1983, 1988, 1991), Betsy King (1987, 1990, 1997), and Annika Sorenstam (2001, 2002, 2005) have won the Kraft Nabisco Championship a record three times each.
Three more players, Juli Inkster (1984, 1989), Dottie Pepper (1992, 1999), and Karrie Webb (2000, 2006) have each won the tournament two times. Sandra Post (1978 and 1979) also won the Kraft Nabisco championship twice, but before the tournament was a major.
