In an article of Malaya posted by Ethel Ramos, one of the respected entertainment columnists in the Philippines, this morning, April 24, 2014, some observers say that several questions in the movie of Sarah Geronimo and Coco Martin have already been answered. It's director Jerry Sineneng admitted that he is also shuddered by his talents' chemistry onscreen.
Some years ago, Sarah and Coco together with their fellow ABS-CBN talent Sam Milby did a Glee inspired music-series titled "1DOL," but due to some issues and conflict of schedules, the network decided to cut the series short. Some observers claimed that it was one of the biggest mistakes that the pop princess ever made in her entire showbiz career because it did not reached the expectations of the big bosses of the biggest TV network in the country today.
Many of her fans and supporters agreed that her team up with Coco Martin and Sam Milby in the music-series was undercooked, they added that the network had miscalculated its target viewers when they were just starting to make a concept. But anyway, all of them have already moved on and they are now waiting for the latest and upcoming movie project of Sarah with Coco who is also busy doing a TV series titled "Ikaw Lamang" (Only You) with Kim Chiu, Jake Cuenca and Julia Montes.
Before she received an offer from the management for a Coco Martin movie, some people were saying that she is already scheduled to do another movie with John Lloyd Cruz. This issue was confirmed by Ms. Malou Santos in one of her interviews, but sad to say that after almost a year, things have changed.
The management tapped Coco Martin to become her leading man in the movie titled "Maybe This Time." Reports say it is similar to her previous movies with John Lloyd Cruz because of the trembling factors included in the film, but the pop princess said it is different.

I guess you could say that there arent a lot of racetracks out there that I havent visited. Ive been to a lot of the small hometown tracks around the countryespecially in the Midwestand I have raced at countless NASCAR-sanctioned venues. During the racing season, my commitment to the M&Ms Racing Team is my top priority. However, as my schedule permits, I try to visit a couple of dirt tracks during the week before I climb behind the wheel of the M&Ms Winston Cup car on the weekend.
Quarter-miles, superspeedways, dirt, or asphaltits hard to say which is my favorite. To be honest, I just want to race. I always tell people that if theres a track out there that I havent been to, it is more than likely on my list of tracks where I still want to go.
Since I try to race at so many different places each year, I get asked a lot of questions by some of the drivers I meet. Theyre always picking my brain, trying to get some tips from me on the track that were at. Most of the time, Im trying to do the same thing.
It doesnt matter that Im a NASCAR Winston Cup driver when Im out at these quarter-mile dirt tracks; were all on an even playing fieldIve just been racing a whole lot longer than some of those guys out there. Since I have been to so many of those regional tracks over the years, I thought I would try to help some of the drivers who may be visiting a track for the very first time.
Ask Questions
There are two things that I always tell drivers will help them get around a track where they have not been before: make phone calls and get plenty of seat time before the race.
Youre probably wondering how making phone calls will help you do well at a racetrack. Well, I have been to a lot of places with this car. Whenever Im getting ready to go to a track that I havent been to before with my Late Model dirt car, I get on the phone a couple of days before the event. Joe Walsh he takes care of my Late Model carand I make as many phone calls as we can to get some information. Were trying to stack the deck and get ahead of the game before we actually get to the track.
You see, if you are going to a regional track, there are always going to be hometown drivers who go there every weekend. Call them and ask them questions about the layout of the track, different things theyve triedjust any advice they can give you.
It also wouldnt hurt to call the chassis manufacturer for your car. More than likely, the manufacturer has a car that runs at that track. The manufacturer will be able to help you with the kinds of spring and gear combinations you might need to run.
Making these phone calls is kind of like testing in the Winston Cup series. Not every team can go and test every track before we race there. So, my teammate Johnny Benson and the No. 10 car will go test a track like Atlanta, while the M&Ms Racing Team and I go and test Las Vegas. Well come back home, talk and share what we learned about running at those two tracks. That way, were ahead of the game when we head out to those venues for the race weekend.
By calling other drivers and other people in the know about the track, you will be able to figure out the basic setup youre going to need to get around the track. You really should use other peoples experience to your advantage.
Seat Time
Once you get to the track, the key is to get out there and get as much time behind the wheel as you can. The track changes from week to week, so theres not going to be one certain setup that is going to work every single time. And thats really the hardest thing for a driver to deal with, especially at dirt tracks.
Not only does a track change weekly, but it changes constantly during the course of an event. Keeping up with these changes is a challenge for the driver and the crew. There are so many adjustments that can be made, and you can really dial yourself in or out very quickly. Once you run a few laps, you may realize you need to go the opposite direction with your setup. If you get out there and run your hot laps, you should be able to figure out what changes need to be made. It may even help you figure out what kind of challenges you will face during the race.
With each track you visit, it gets a little easier. Once youve run one quarter-mile dirt track, then you are really ahead of the game when you go to the next one. It may be a little bit different, but I can guarantee you that it will have a lot of the same features as the first. And once you have been to two tracks, it makes the third that much easier.
You get to the point where you can look at the track and recognize the similarities to other tracks where you have raced, and you get a feel for how the car should be set up for its best performance. Its like building blocks. The more experience you have at the tracks, the higher you can climb and the better you will become.
I hope this little bit of advice helps any of you guys who want to break into the world of weekly racing, or for you drivers who already travel to various small tracks near your hometown. Some of the advice may sound silly to you, but I can attest to the fact that it works. If it werent for making those phone calls, I wouldnt have won or even started some of the races at the small dirt tracks that I have.
And if you see me at your home track one day, dont be shy. Come up and introduce yourselfIll be more than happy to give you some advice. I may even need to pick your brain about the track.

Could your family members be stealing from you? Inspectors give pointed warning about ID theft
CLEVELAND - If you think it's safe to trust members of your own family with your personal information, this story may change your mind. Investigators told us family and friends are high on the list of likely identity thieves.
"It was greed. I really think she has a problem," said fraud victim Jessica Plowden. "She does not care. Anytime you can do things like this to your elderly parents, your own son, your dead sister."
Plowden and the rest were all victims of identity theft and you might find it hard to believe who did it.
"Someone got a hold of my personal information and this someone just so happened to be my aunt," explained Plowden.
Plowden's aunt Dawn Johnson was arrested.
"She got my social security number from a piece of personal mail that was sent to my grandmother's house," said Plowden.
Postal inspectors said Johnson took out a car loan, credit cards and committed tax fraud.
"By submitting fraudulent tax returns in other individuals names and by adding on dependents who weren't actual dependents of those victims, in order to increase the fraudulent return money," explained U.S. Postal Inspector Frank Schissler.
She also applied for unemployment benefits in her nieces's name -- which is how Plowden found out there was a problem.
"She tried to frame me for an unemployment fraud that she had done… so it's just been a whole list of things," Plowden said.
Investigators said this isn't surprising.
"Statistics have shown that victims of id theft are two and a half times more likely to be victimized by a friend or family member than they are by having their id stolen through the mail," said Schissler.
"I think it was easier for her to prey on family considering the fact that you know -- family is trust," said Plowden. "If you trust your family with your personal information you would never think they would do things like that to you."
What has Plowden learned from this?
"Trust no one. Clearly, I couldn't even trust my own family. Make sure you keep up to date with credit reports," she said.
Schissler had this On Your Side Advice: "Review that report for any accounts that are in your name that you didn't open."
Johnson confessed to her crimes and was sentenced to 1 year in prison. She was also ordered to pay more than $42,000 in restitution.

It finally happened – the premiere of "The Bachelor" 2014 starring Juan Pablo Galavis aired on Jan. 6.
With 27 ladies to pick from, Juan Pablo had his hands full, literally!
The ladies were as creative as ever when trying to get the bachelor's attention. Some of these attempts were cute while others were just plain weird! In the end, "Bachelor" nation wonders, just who did Juan Pablo, or as he as dubbed himself "El Bachelor", send home during the premiere of "The Bachelor" 2014?
Of the original 27 bachelorettes cast for "The Bachelor" 2014, Juan Pablo sent home 10 during the first rose ceremony of season 18. Here's the list of the ladies who were eliminated during the premiere:
Maggie – gave Juan Pablo a fishing hook as a gift because she enjoys fishing with her family.
Amy J. – massaged Juan Pablo. What were his reactions to this massage? One word: awkward!
Ashley – presented Juan Pablo with a gold star for being "The Bachelor".
Christine – from Miami, Florida, Juan Pablo's current hometown.
Kylie – thought her name was called at the rose ceremony and embarrassed herself when Juan Pablo said he had called Kat.
Lacy – comes from a family of large family and currently works in an adult day care center.
Lauren H. – just got out of a nasty breakup where her fiancé dumped her over the phone.
Valerie – Cowgirl, she wore boots under her gown during the premiere.
Alexis – introduced herself in Spanish.
Bachelorette contestant Sharleen, the opera singer who flew in from Germany, was the lady to receive the first impression rose for the night. She seems a bit iffy with her feelings towards Juan Pablo at this point, stating things seemed a bit "forced". Previews for upcoming episodes show she may fall hard for the former soccer player.
"Bachelor" Juan Pablo seemed cool, funny, and a bit overwhelmed all at the same time. He danced a bit, posed in the photo booth with different women, and had one-on-one time with several of the ladies.
See a full list of the bachelorette contestants here.
How do you think the 2014 "Bachelor" handled the premiere night? Did Juan Pablo do well, or did he need a bit more advice from the now engaged Sean Lowe?
Tune in next week to ABC for more "Bachelor" drama as the ladies and Juan Pablo Galavis start their "aventura" to find love.

On a hilltop in southeast Oak Cliff, a small but powerful group of men and women walked into a quiet classroom one night a few months ago and took their seats at a rectangular table, facing each other, prepared for debate.
The group was gathered to help create a blueprint for the first public university in Dallas, the largest city in the country without its own. Among the people at that table was Mark Cuban, who has credited undergraduate business classes with helping him become a billionaire. Another, Al Silva, believed a college education of Faulkner and Tolstoy transformed him from a boy on welfare to the head of a billion-dollar corporation, Labatt Food Service. It seemed distinctly Dallas that mostly doers, rather than teachers, had been tapped for the task of deciding where the University of North Texas at Dallas goes from here.
More than a decade in the making, the school currently has 2,032 students, and is growing at a rate of about 12.5 percent a year. But as leaders work toward securing independent accreditation this year, they are preparing for massive growth.
If the vision is fully realized, dozens of brick buildings will rise on 264 acres off Camp Wisdom Road. Within the next 25 years, the university hopes to enroll as many as 30,000 students—more than double that of SMU. The university could reshape the city so significantly that its impact might eventually be compared to that of the DFW Airport, its boosters say. UNT Dallas aspires to educate those who are not being educated, at potentially enormous economic gain to the city. Leaders also hope the university will be the long-awaited catalyst for revitalizing the city's struggling southern sector.
Not lost on those involved is the rare opportunity before them, a virtual educational blank slate. The school's brain trust is attempting to create a new type of university in an experiment that already has gained the attention of national education experts.
"How many times in the lifetime of a community do you get to create a public university?" asks Dallas businessman and educational philanthropist Eric Reeves. "It's so rare; it just doesn't happen. It's not even generational. It's once in a lifetime."
Led by a former accountant, UNT Dallas is moving into the future with a mix of idealism and practicality, trying to educate more people more efficiently. The school is also attempting to carve out its own identity, both as a separate entity from its Denton parent and, more grandly, as the face of higher education in Dallas. It's a tall order, especially since UNT Dallas is making a go of it in a city that is already so closely associated with a well-endowed school that sits on a much tonier hilltop to the north.
"We're building a university in the middle of an area that many people have written off," UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson says.
The story of UNT Dallas spans more than a decade and was driven, in large measure, by one fact: only 28 percent of Dallas adults have college degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For comparison, Austin boasts 44 percent and Atlanta hits nearly 46 percent. There are universities nearby—UTD in Richardson, UNT Denton, the University of Dallas in Irving, UT Arlington. But that was no longer good enough. Area leaders, long troubled that Dallas did not have its own public university, asked three universities to submit proposals, and chose UNT to finally fill that void. They liked that UNT, a large research university in Denton with 36,000 students, did not want to establish a satellite campus or simply replicate itself within the city's limits. Instead, UNT was prepared to launch an independent university with its own president, programs, and Dallas-driven prerogatives.
The main goal would be to expand access to higher education to some of the 72 percent of adults who do not have college degrees. If the city could shift that percentage even slightly, the economic benefits would be significant, city leaders believe. A study by the group CEOs for Cities claims that if Dallas could raise its college graduation rate by 1 percent, the net impact could be $4.6 billion in personal income. Leaders also wanted UNT to establish a public law school downtown and other professional graduate programs.
Politicians decided that the new university should rise south of the Trinity River, to target potential students there and to serve as a possible game changer for the city's long-struggling south. Senator Royce West and others helped secure legislative approval in 2001, and the city paid $3 million for 202 acres off Camp Wisdom Road, near Interstate 20. Gifts and purchases added another 62 acres to the campus. The large, undeveloped tract was considered a rare gem by city planners. It had enviable natural features—rolling hills, a creek system, scores of mountain cedar and hackberry trees—and an elevation that gave it a view of the city's glimmering skyline.
As UNT moved forward, one man began to emerge as the clear leader for the Dallas experiment, an accountant from rural Mississippi named Dr. John Ellis Price. Price was a CPA turned academic who had spent 14 years at UNT Denton, rising from professor to department chair. Before he became president of UNT Dallas, he had gotten a close look at the machine of academia.
As an accountant, he was constantly concerned with efficiency and economy. He came to see academia as operating largely at the pleasure of professors, who taught courses when they wanted to, on subjects they wanted to, rather than focusing on students' needs. Though they do many things exceptionally well, universities could use a healthy dose of supply and demand, Price figured. He did not view students as customers, per se, but thought their schedules and needs should be better taken into account. Then, perhaps more students would attend and finish college.
Weighing in on an enduring debate about the best approach to higher education, Price believed some traditional tenets of college—such as an emphasis on research over teaching—had contributed to the skyrocketing cost of a degree. While higher education should include an Aristotelian pursuit of knowledge—knowledge for knowledge's sake—it also should be practical, affordable, and lead to a paycheck.
In Price's own life, higher education was life changing. He grew up in a house with nine siblings and no indoor plumbing. Neither of his parents finished grade school. He remembers being embarrassed at having to chop and deliver firewood at night with his father, and ashamed at having only two pairs of pants in high school—one to wear, and one to wash.
"I vowed early on that I wasn't going to have that kind of life," Price says. "It didn't take me long to realize that education was my way out."
Educators, he believes, have done a poor job of teaching students the vital link between school and prosperity. On his campus in southeast Oak Cliff, he aimed to change that.
It was a slow start. Before the hilltop in Oak Cliff came the office park on South Hampton Road, where the university first opened its doors to students in 2000 as a branch campus. By law, the school needed 1,000 full-time equivalent students before it could declare independence from the flagship in Denton. As the enrollment slowly climbed, construction began on the first of the university's two brick buildings, at a cost of $25.4 million. Looking ahead, City Council members drafted a hopeful land use plan for miles around the university, envisioning walkable, mixed-use developments similar to Mockingbird Station and West Village.
After the 1,000th full-time student enrolled in 2009, UNT Dallas declared its independence on September 1, 2010, officially becoming the city's first publicly supported, four-year university. The City Council changed the name of the adjacent road to University Hills Boulevard. Price turned to the next significant hurdle: separate accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
A thorough process that can stretch on for years, accreditation was the next step toward true independence. If Price wanted to experiment with a new model, he needed his own accreditation. Until then, he had to operate under that of the flagship in Denton, teaching the courses it taught, in the ways it taught them.
But that day was soon coming. And Price wanted to be prepared. So he did something unconventional in academia. Instead of turning inward to professors and administrators, he sent out a request for proposal to top business management firms. Within a week, he received a letter from Bain & Company, a consulting firm that typically worked with Fortune 1000 and midmarket companies.
"You know," one of the partners told Price, "this RFP you put out is really cutting-edge stuff."
Bain & Company had done some work in academia but focused more on business efficiency rather than academic policy. Partners knew the project could be lucrative for the firm. Dallas is the perfect testing ground for new approaches in higher education, because it has all the problems of other cities, on a much larger scale: struggling K-12 schools, dwindling financial resources, and a growing Hispanic population with low college attendance rates. Bain partners told Price they would offer $1 million in consulting fees for the project, pro bono.
"The gods were smiling on me," Price says, leaning back in a blue leather chair in his campus office. As a fledgling state university, created in one of the worst economic downturns since the Depression, he had only $75,000 in his budget to draft a plan.
The project was of personal interest to Bain partner Mark Gottfredson, a Harvard business graduate. "Almost everyone agrees that we have an educational crisis in this country," Gottfredson says. "So many people come out with degrees that don't get them jobs, with high levels of debt that they can never pay off. The next big financial crisis in this country could be the whole student debt overhang. It's an enormous problem."
One of Bain's first jobs was to help Price assemble a group of high-profile business leaders and politicians to brainstorm what the university of the future needed to be. They would call themselves The Commission on Building the University of the 21st Century. Quickly, the school secured A-list support, including Cuban, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, and Texas Higher Education Commissioner Raymund Paredes. The group's members began meeting in November to discuss every aspect of the university. One committee member attended virtually, his face beamed onto a video screen in the classroom.
They talked about what they thought higher education needed to be. Businessmen urged an international component, as Silva, the head of Labatt Food Service, talked about how his industry has become largely driven by snack sales in India and China. The committee also examined what was happening in the marketplace, outside of taxpayer-funded education.A collection of for-profit universities has launched over the past few decades to great success, including the University of Phoenix. Some of these universities, which offer online programs, have been criticized for being "degree mills" of low quality. But clearly they were meeting a need. The millions of people who enrolled were interested in obtaining degrees in programs that were flexible and affordable.
"Without getting into whether they're good or bad," committee member Eric Reeves says, "the bottom line is that they're so heavily subscribed by students that they're doing something right."
Those universities have swung the pendulum to the extreme on digital education and dramatically cut one of the more significant costs—buildings and maintenance. But efficiency couldn't be the primary goal of UNT Dallas, argued Silva, also a regent for the UNT System. Silva grew up as one of five children of a single mother on welfare. For him, interacting with other students at Texas Lutheran University, where he attended on a full scholarship, was in some ways more vital than what he learned in books.
"I quickly learned that the affluent kids put their pants on the same way as I did," says Silva, a first-generation high school and college graduate. "Most of them weren't that smart, they were just born with a lot of money. That's the kind of education I want these kids at UNT Dallas to get, to know that they can excel no matter where they come from."
Committee members agreed students should spend most of their time in real classrooms with live teachers. But they believed higher education hadn't done enough to exploit the cost-saving advantages of digital education. They believed some portion of courses, perhaps almost half, should be conducted online.
UNT Dallas, they decided, also needed to make sure it transformed into a residential campus, rather than a commuter school. Having a student population and hundreds of school employees who needed to eat, shop, and play is the only way the surrounding area will transform. "I came from the hood," Silva recalls telling the committee. "The last thing I want to do is go to college and find out I'm in the hood again. What kind of offering is that?"
Gottfredson, the Bain consultant, assigned a team from his firm to analyze ideas from the committee and see if they were feasible. They began compiling data, interviewing experts, and developing additional theories about how to cut costs. Gottfredson has come to believe that states could offer a similar quality education to that of most public universities, for less than half the cost.
But there would be sacrifices. For instance, facilities. On the traditional college campus, most academic disciplines have their own buildings. Those buildings are used an average of 40 percent of the time and filled to about 60 or 70 percent capacity, Gottfredson says. Though many buildings are paid for by donors, they carry enormous maintenance and utility costs. If building space were maximized, Gottfredson says, universities could cut their average facilities cost per student by more than half.
Another area to consider, he says, is the traditional approach to faculty tenure.
"You receive tenure not by being a good professor but by doing research," Gottfredson says. "The point of a lot of that research is to get
published, not to make the world a better place."
Students and taxpayers support the enormous costs of that research, he says. A preferable model for UNT Dallas might be to emphasize teaching skills, coupled with some applied research. Teachers focused on teaching rather than research would further cut costs.
It has not gone unnoticed that the commission is light on professors, although one was asked to serve as a faculty liaison. Some inside the university have quietly voiced concerns about the direction of the committee, but officials say the majority of professors have been supportive and heavily consulted along the way. Of the 53 professors at UNT Dallas, only six have tenure.
Many universities, particularly large public ones, have aspired to do everything well—sports, research, highly specialized courses, graduate schools. Having everything comes at an enormous price. But, as Gottfredson sees it, if a university is willing to focus and target specific groups of students, it can deliver education at a fraction of the cost. If they are successful at UNT Dallas, he thinks the model will spread.
"It will put pressure on other public universities to become more effective and efficient," Gottfredson says. "And that's going to change the educational landscape in this country."
In early December, Price asked SMU President R. Gerald Turner out to his new campus for lunch. The two men are old acquaintances, meeting when they were administrators at neighboring colleges years ago in Mississippi.
"He wanted to make sure that I knew what was going on down there," Turner recalls.
As Price tries to secure his university's place in the city, he might look to Turner, who, during his time at SMU, has worked to more fully
integrate his school with Dallas and its residents. Turner says he has worked to respond to community needs. For instance, after a number of Dallas school leaders asked for help with teacher training, he created the Simmons School of Education. He thinks UNT will be able to help meet the city's specialized education needs in the same way.
For the short term, Turner doesn't see UNT Dallas as competition for SMU, as they certainly will draw students from different pools. "They're in the formative stages of developing their curriculum and majors," Turner says. "They're kind of where we were in the 19-teens."
But down the road, the planned UNT law school downtown could compete with SMU, Turner says. "Our evening program has been so successful that we feel like we are pretty much meeting the legal demands in Dallas," Turner says. "If their law school is ever funded, I think that's the only place there might be competition down the road."
SMU has always held a special place in the city. The first building constructed on the SMU campus was named Dallas Hall, because the people of Dallas funded it and donated the land. Turner doesn't believe anything will change with the addition of UNT Dallas.
"The real entrepreneurial spirit of Dallas is very much reflected in the ambiance of SMU," Turner says. "We are what the basic DNA of Dallas is all about."
Good accountants, Price says, recognize that it's not just about the bottom line but the whole picture. UNT Dallas will not sacrifice quality for cost, he says. But the hope is to become something new, something different.
"If this university attempts to operate just as another four-year university, we're going to have a terrible time," Price says. "Education has become a very competitive environment. So in order for us to be a winner, a leader, we need to be at the forefront of change."
The 21st Century Commission plans to finalize its recommendations by summer, setting forth the most fundamental details of UNT Dallas. Already, some things appear certain. UNT Dallas will have a competitive admissions process, rather than admitting every student. It will have core humanities requirements, with students learning about Hemingway and history, along with pursuing professional paths. Some portion of the students' education will be delivered online, and some portion will occur in real classrooms. The school will have dorms and strive to become a residential campus.
The school hopes to gain its accreditation at the end of this year and begin offering its own unique courses by fall 2013. As the university grows, it will continue to add buildings. DART plans to extend its Blue Line to the campus in 2019, at which point planners expect to attract more serious interest from developers. One concern is the lack of infrastructure such as water and sewer lines in the area, a costly obstacle for developers. Mayor Rawlings says he plans to add this project to the city's next bond program, perhaps as early as this year.
Most everyone agrees that significant hurdles still stand in the way of UNT Dallas.
President Price is concerned about money. The $1 million in pro bono help from Bain ran out in January. He has enough money to get through this month, and then he must regroup. He worries about the difficulty of attracting vital funds to a school that doesn't have a robust group of alumni. He plans to take his case to local business leaders, hoping to convince them of the university's worth.
"What we need more than anything is a Mark Cuban or a Perot," Price says. "Somebody who says, 'By God, I want to be a part of this legacy.' "
He notes how vital the McDermott family had been in the growth of UTD in Richardson. "We need a McDermott family," Price says. "In fact, we need several."
UNT System Chancellor Jackson worries about focus. With multiple ongoing projects—not only UNT Dallas, but also the law school—he worries about the university stretching itself too thin, falling back into the very pattern it's trying to avoid.
And he worries about geography.
Jackson grew up in Oak Cliff, a few miles from the campus. "I know the area," he says, "and I love the area." But there are people, he says, who have never crossed the Trinity River except to drive to a football game in Austin. They don't know what's off I-35 in Oak Cliff, or South Dallas, or Cedar Hill. They're not aware of the topography that affords spectacular views of the city, or the nice, middle-class neighborhoods that surround the university, Jackson says. "And they're certainly not aware of the two buildings we have built, unless we're imaginative enough to bring them to our campus," he says.
When the university has thousands of students on its land someday, it may be the largest employer in the southern half of Dallas, anchoring the kind of healthy developments that unfold for miles along the city's north half.
"We will all be better off," Jackson says, "when we live in a city where job opportunities are distributed more evenly. Where people don't have to drive so far to shop for their families. Where there are really good grocery stores convenient to every single neighborhood. That will affect the quality of all our schools, from kindergarten to college."
Perhaps the greatest challenge of all will be skepticism.
"Because," Jackson says, "people in the north will say, 'But it's down there.' "

Our friends over at The Comet Camper attended the workshop in Boston. They wrote a very comprehensive review of the workshop. I think you'll see why we recommend them as the next step toward your tiny house.
Here's another couple on their way to a Tumbleweed life: Pete & Erin. Bookmark their blog so you can follow them on their Fencl build.
by Jo-Anne Peck, President of Historic Shed Custom Outbuildings
There comes a time when anyone who dreams of living in a small house has to ask the question, "Where will I put my tiny house?" When choosing to site build a little house, this becomes an ever bigger question since zoning codes and neighborhood association rules are often at odds with small house goals. As a result, many tiny house people look to rural areas where restrictions may be less stringent. However, not everyone prefers country living, and site development costs for utilities can be prohibitive on undeveloped land.
For those that would rather live within more established areas, close to walkable stores and with sociable neighbors, older and historic neighborhoods may be a good choice for building a new small home. The average size of an American single-family home has grown exponentially over the years, but most of our ancestors managed to live in much less square footage, often with much larger families. Therefore, there are many established neighborhoods with precedent for small homes. Historically laid out with small lots (for example, much of the historic core of Lake Worth, FL was platted with 25′ wide lots), local zoning in designated historic districts is often tailored so that new construction within the district remains in scale with the historically smaller homes in the neighborhood. In addition, many historic neighborhoods also allow accessory structures behind the main home that can be even tinier than the main home.
Some historic neighborhoods have few available empty lots, while others have many vacant lots available due to fires, demolitions, or never having been fully developed. It may take some diligence on your part to find the right spot, but with careful consideration you will likely find an affordable lot in an up-and-coming older neighborhood that suits you perfectly.
Benefits of building a small house within a historic district:
When looking for an appropriate historic neighborhood to build in consider the following:
For those interested in living more economically in a smaller footprint without having to build from scratch, looking for a house in a historic district may be a great opportunity to both live in an attractive home and neighborhood and to recycle an entire house. If the perfect house doesn't already exist, or is not within budget, building a new small house within a historic district may be just the right combination.

Greg Johnson of the Small House Society published a video on how city housing codes influence tiny house living. In a 4 minute video he covers a viewers question, "where can you legally put a tiny house on wheels?" Greg does a great job of explaining the problems we face in addition to different ways you can get around them. He also briefly discusses cities that are beginning to allow this type of housing as completely legal accessory dwelling units. Greg talks about the challenges faced by code enforcement to catch folks sleeping in recreational vehicles, campers, and tiny houses.
I'll let him do the talking, Hope you enjoy and be sure to visit the Small House Society for more information related to the tiny house movement.
If you want to listen to Greg's tips on how to get around building codes and city zoning, I encourage you to watch his 4-minute video below:

Take a peek at the new and improved version of the sweater vest. Emily Blunt has been seen sporting a version recently at the airport and we gotta say it's a big improvement from the itchy and boxy vests of sweater's past. Ruffled in the front, with flowy fabric for a loose fit, this Redbird Grey Circular Knitted Vest ($138) is just like the one Emily had on. If it's comfortable enough to fly in, then by golly it's good enough for day-to-day wear!

ANKHIALE (or Anchiale) was the Titan goddess of the warming heat of fire. She was the wife of Hekateros, the titan-god of the hands, and mother of the metal-working Daktyloi, literally the Fingers. These rustic gods lived on the slopes of Mount Ida (either the Kretan or Phrygian mountain), and together represented the power of fingers and hands to create and utilise fire. Indeed, it was Ankhiale's own brother Prometheus who stole fire from heaven for mankind.
[1.1] THE DAKTYLOI (Apollonius Rhodius 1.1120)
[1.2] THE DAKTYLOI, THE HEKATERIDES (by Hekateros) ? (Strabo 10.3.19)
[2.1] KYDNOS (Stephanus Byzantium s.v. Anchiale)
[3.1] OAXOS (by Hekateros or Apollon) (Servius on Virgil's Eclogues)
ANCHI′ALE (Anchialê), a daughter of Japetus and mother of Cydnus, who was believed to have founded the town of Anchiale in Cilicia. (Steph. Byz. s. v.) Another personage of this name occurs in Apollon. Rhod. i. 1130.
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 1. 1120 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"The many Idaian Daktyloi of Krete. They were borne in the Diktaian cave by the Nymphe Ankhiale as she clutched the earth of Oaxos with both her hands."
Strabo, Geography 10. 3. 19 (trans. Jones) (Greek geographer C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"Further, one might also find . . . these Daimones [i.e. the Kouretes, Satyroi & Oreiades] . . . were called, not only ministers of gods, but also gods themselves. For instance, Hesiod says that five daughters were born to Hekateros and the daughter of Phoroneus [Ankhiale ?], `from whom sprang the mountain-ranging Nymphai, goddesses, and the breed of Satyroi, creatures worthless and unfit for work, and also the Kouretes, sportive gods, dancers.'" [N.B. Phoroneus was the first man sprung from the earth.]
Strabo, Geography 10. 3. 22 :
"Sophokles [Greek C5th B.C.] thinks that the first male Daktyloi were five in number, who were the first to discover and to work iron, as well as many other things which are useful for the purposes of life, and that their sisters [the Hekaterides?] were five in number, and that they were called Daktyloi (Fingers) from their number [ten]."
Stephanus Byzantium s.v. Anchiale (from Athenodorus of Tarsus) (Byzantine Greek Lexicon C6th A.D.) :
"Ankhiale, daughter of Iapetos, founded Ankhiale (a city near Tarsos): her son was Kydnos, who gave his name to the river at Tarsos: the son of Kydnos was Parthenios, from whom the city was called Parthenia: afterwards the name was changed to Tarsos [a city in Kilikia]."
Ankhiale's name may have been derived from from the words ank- a prefix meaning "to reveal or uncover", and khlia and alee meaning "warmth" and "heat". The name may contain a double meaning, with a further reference to ankalê, a bundle (of firewood) carried under the arm.
The couple Hekateros and Ankhiale were grandparents of a variety of rustic gods, namely the Satyroi, Oreiades and Kouretes. As such Hekateros was probably closely identified with the earth-born Seilenos and Pyrrhikhos--Seilenos was the usual grandsire of these demi-gods in myth. In the account describing the parentage of Oaxos, he is also confounded with the god Apollon--the names Hekateros and Hekatos (a common epithet of Apollon) were quite similar.
Ankhiale herself may have been identical to the Kretan Nymphe Akalle who is also located in the vicinity of Mount Ida. The pronunciation of their names was quite similarly.
Other commentators suggest that Ankhiale was Rheia, who during her labour with Zeus, clutched the Earth with bent arms (ankalê), and prayed for assistance. In sympathy Gaia (Earth) birthed a clutch of fully-grown armed warriors to protect her, i.e. the Kouretes.

Card games
Hagrid once played an unidentified game of cards at the Hogs Head and won a dragon egg (PS14)
Other games
Wizard chess
Ron also started teaching Harry wizard chess. This was exactly like Muggle chess except that the figures were alive, which made it a lot like directing troops in battle. Ron's set was very old and battered. Like everything else he owned, it had once belonged to someone else in his family -- in this case, his grandfather. However, old chessmen weren't a drawback at all. Ron knew them so well he never had trouble getting them to do what he wanted.Individual pieces have distinct personalities. Some are more vicious than others.
Crookshanks finds wizard chess fascinating to watch. Well, not just to watch; he loves to upset the board with all its moving pieces.
Harry received a new wizard chess set for Christmas in his first year, apparently as a prize from a wizard cracker (PS12). Hermione loses at chess, which Ron and Harry consider to be very good for her (PS13)
Wizards' Duel
Professor Flitwick is rumored to be a champion duellist. It is unknown if this is true and if it is, whether he is a champion of some particular competition. As long ago as 1430 there was an All-England Dueling Competition. Back then, the contest was won by Alberta Toothill who upset the favored Samson Wiblin with a Blasting Charm (fw27).
During the fall of 1995 [Y15], the Ministry was trying to get other countries to sign an International Ban on Dueling. Percy in particular was working to get the Transylvanians on board (GF23). It is uncertain if this type of duelling is the same as the sport variety or if it refers to the more lethal "pistols at dawn" variety of duel.

The limestone in the natural scenery and local buildings reminds you that you're right on the eastern foot of Texas' stunning Hill Country.Many local businesses take advantage of Bee Cave's natural surroundings to bring you a piece of the outdoors. Austin's open-air music venue, The Backyard, provides a natural backdrop for many music legends including Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson.
The Hill Country Galleria, home of Bee Cave retail shops and where locals can enjoy outdoor shopping for popular national brands. A valued gem just west of town is Hamilton Pool, a natural swimming hole beneath a fifty-foot waterfall. Though the site is a natural preserve to protect its beauty and surrounding wildlife, locals can visit the park during summer months to enjoy a swim.
Area Profile
The Bee Cave area contributes to the many commercial spaces in Austin's greater Southwest region. This entire region provides plenty of class A and B spaces among the nearly 400 office buildings, totaling 10.5 million SF of Bee Cave office space.

We thought this weekend would help sort out the race for best picture. We thought that at worst we'd have a two-way race. We thought wrong. The 2014 awards season is now officially chaos. The Producers Guild's top honor, the Daryl Zanuck Award for best motion picture of the year, gave way to a tie between Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity." Cue the dramatic music!
As the year turned the major contenders for best picture had essentially been whittled down to three, the previously mentioned "12 Years," "Gravity" and "American Hustle." Then Oscar nominations came out on Thursday and that belief was firmly justified as the three films led in total nominations. "Gravity" and "Hustle" tied for the most with ten. With things still to close to call, we thought the SAG Awards and PGA would shed some light on how the rest of the award season would play out.
It all started rather predictably. SAG offered no real shockers as "Hustle" took the prize for top ensemble, as it was the favorite. The real tell would be the PGA, whose winner has gone on to win best picture the last six years. If "12 Years" won, it's front-runner status that its held since September would still be intact. "Hustle" winning would result in a late surge and David O. Russell's fantastic streak of late likely to culminate into a best picture win. A "Gravity" win would have signaled that genre bias of sci-fi has been evaporated. What the heck does a tie mean?
Quick evaluation looks like this, "Gravity" is stronger than we thought, and "12 Years a Slave" a little weaker, while "American Hustle" holds firm.
Saying "12 Years" is weaker doesn't mean that it isn't necessarily the favorite, but a win here would have surely but it in a comfortable position. This tie brings both "Hustle" and "Gravity" right on it's heels, and showing weakness at the wrong time.
"Hustle," meanwhile, would have been a surprise win at the PGA, so it loses nothing from not winning. The tie only gives it a little boost however. While it moves closer to "12 Years," "Gravity" is now even more in the picture than before, and the last thing any film at this point wants is another serious threat.
"Gravity" obviously is the big winner from all this. It proves that more than directors and below the line people are willing to go for it. The last major guild award left is the Director's Guild, where Cuaron is without question the favorite. If he avoids the upset, momentum shifts entirely into their corner. The DGA award will be announced next Saturday, Jan. 25.
If we want to go extreme with this reaction, the possibility of a tie is actually not out of the question. Last year's Academy Awards reminded us of that possibility when "Skyfall" and "Zero Dark Thirty" tied for best sound editing. Well, that's just a tech category, you may say. The majors haven't been immune to ties either. Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn tied for best actress in 1969. Is a tie likely? No. Could it happen? Nothing's impossible, and if you want to be bold go ahead and predict that, but something is going to push one of these films ahead eventually.
In a piece I wrote a few weeks ago, I said I wished the guilds wouldn't be as uniform as they were in the past couple of years. Well, wish granted, and now we have a neck and neck… and neck race with about six weeks left to go.

Easy Tips For A Better Financial Life Today!
When you feel like your finances are out of control, you can be overcome with frustration. This is really common, and you will be able to overcome it by employing a few tactics. The following paragraphs will give you some cool tips that will give you the knowledge you need to sort out your money issues.
Never sacrifice your retirement savings to dig yourself out of a sticky financial situation. You have plenty of other options available to balance your personal finances. If you use your future to repair your present, that is similar to cutting your nose off and spiting your face.
Create a budget and learn to adhere to it. You may find that your money is not being managed as effectively as you had previously believed. Keep a written record of where every dime you earn goes. Analyze your entire financial situation at the close of each month. That way, you will know when to cut back.
To get your personal finances in order, you need to start saving immediately. The importance of regularly contributing to your savings cannot be overestimated. You should look at the money you put into savings as a bill you have to pay. Think of it as "paying your future," and when the future becomes the present, you'll have a lot of money.
It is crucial to pay all of your utility bills promptly each month. If you pay these bills late, your credit score could drop. Most utility companies will even charge late fees, which cost you that much more money. It's not worth the headaches that come from paying late, so whenever possible, pay your bills on time.
Speak with your friends and family about the situation that you are in and ask for their help. Doing so will help you feel less badly if you must decline invitations to go out. If you are not honest about why you cannot go, they might think you are mad at them! Keep your friends, just let them know what is going on in your life.
If you are going to make little purchases, carry cash and a debit card. Recent laws allow the merchants to set a minimum purchase amount when credit cards are used.
Don't keep buying things that promise quick money. Internet marketers tend to fall for these schemes. This isn't to say that there's no value in taking training courses. However, remember that your goal is to make money. If you're spending so much on study materials that you don't make a profit, you're wasting your money.
Make sure to budget and track money to follow expenses. If you can see where your money is going each week or month, you can determine what things are more deserving of your money and what things can be eliminated from your budget.
Look into purchasing store brand products. In many cases brand loyalty only leads to lower value. They often contain very similar ingredients but the fillers, fragrances and packaging may vary. Don't be afraid to give these foods a try because they can save quite a bit of money.
Stop using your credit card if you find that you are having problems making the payments. Reduce your expense as much as you can and find another payment method to avoid maxing that card out. Be sure to pay your monthly balance prior to starting to use your card again.
Keeping track of all of your expenses is important towards developing a solid plan for the future. However, if you document it somewhere you are never going to look, it will do you no good. Instead, create a big chart or board at home and use that to list all your expenses. You will pass by it all day so it stays in your mind.
As discussed earlier, inability to manage your own finances can lead to a great deal of stress. If you get the right advice and keep your options open, you will not have any trouble getting your finances back into shape. Take the advice given here in this article and you will be on the right road for success with your finances.

ancient Egyptian gods "R"
Re, Re-Harakhty:
He was considered
the solar god of ancient Egyptians and came to fruition around
the Early Dynastic Period. He was probably the most popular of
the solar gods. His cult took on the attributes and mythology of
other temples. His cult followers were mostly concerned with
things such as health, children, and virility. The sun had
different names for different times of the day and was known as
Khepri at dawn, Re at noon, and Atum at night. Eventually he
also became associated with the god Horus who was then called
Re-Harakhty or Re-Horus. Re is depicted as a falcon-headed sun
god who takes on the form of Re-Harakhty which is the morning
aspect of the deity. Re's most important cult center was in
Heliopolis, the city of the sun. In addition, he held the title
of the "Living King." Fifth Dynasty rulers had special buildings
known as sun sanctuaries erected to worship him. The most
impressive erections completed on his behalf are the obelisks –
their gilded tips were defined as the seat of the sun-god. The
most famous temple built for Re-Harakhty was under Ramses II in
Abu Simbel and thereafter Regular reflections depicted as "Son
of Re" are recorded from the middle of the Fourth Dynasty.
During the Old Kingdom, kings believed they could assume the
powers of Re; therefore, the kings were then thought to be the
physical sons of this god. This concept continued throughout the
ancient Egyptian history to where Alexander the Great believed
that he was the son of Re.

Olympic medallists Ed Clancy and Lizzie Armistead design helmets for auction
07:00 19 September 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Olympic medallists Lizzie Armistead and Ed Clancy are among the celebrities who have designed bicycle helmets for a charity auction at Sotheby's today.
The Celebrity Bicycle Helmet Auction II is celebrating the first year of The Legacy List, a charity set up to ensure a post-London 2012 Games legacy in arts and education.
The specially commissioned helmets include contributions from London 2012 competitors Armistead, who won silver in the women's road race, and Clancy, who won a gold in the team pursuit and a bronze in the men's omnium.
Other helmets which will be available to the highest bidders at the auction house in New Bond Street have been designed by people including fourth plinth artist Yinka Shonibare and artist Michael Craig Martin.
Money raised from the auction will ensure that arts, culture and education play a central role in the legacy of the future Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and its surroundings.
The auction will be introduced by the UK Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, Ed Vaizey.
Auctioneer Olivier Barker will offer 18 lots in Helmet Auction II. The first celebrity helmet auction, held when the legacy list launched a year ago, included a helmet designed by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
The Legacy List was set up by Mr Johnson and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), the body in charge of the Olympic Park after the Games.
The charity will work to make sure high quality cultural and learning programmes are an integral part of the future of the Olympic area. Its work already includes an architect-designed green Play-Space, a local theatre, a summer Art Camp and a poetry award for schools in the six Olympic boroughs.
Mr Johnson said: "We want the park to become a must see destination, attracting visitors from around the world, helping to create more jobs and support the economy. The Legacy List was set up with the support of my office to help develop these opportunities and your support of this charity will help us to raise money to help deliver that vision.'
Sarah Weir, chief executive of The Legacy List, said: "Since last year's auction, we have already developed a range of imaginative post games artistic and educational projects which build on both the creativity of the permanent art commissions in the park, as well as creative talent already in the area and beyond."
