Having emerged battered and bruised from the 2008 recession, aircraft lenders face fresh challenges. While worldwide economic woes linger like a bad cold that won't go away, these lenders can expect accounting and regulatory changes that may have a significant impact on their business.

An airplane seller who was acting as his own broker told me that he'd been abandoned at the sales altar on three recent occasions, each time because of issues with buyer financing. "Welcome to the club," I thought.

For most corporations, the purchase of a business jet represents a major transaction that requires approval of the board of directors. What should the directors consider when the company is thinking about buying an aircraft?
December 1, 2012
The used jet market has had to contend with more than its fair share of obstacles over the past few years and 2012 didn't offer any relief. They say that when the stock market moves up it climbs a wall of worry and that's probably not much different from how jet buyers view the aircraft market. That said, there may be a bit less to worry about than there was last year at this time.

BJT readers–who represent one of the highest-net-worth magazine audiences anywhere–clearly have the means to contribute to a better world. But what's the best way to do that? It's not always easy to determine which charities are most reputable and efficient and which will make the best use of your donations. As such, we've decided to spotlight one deserving organization per issue.

When you need legal help buying, owning, operating or selling an aircraft, whom do you call? Many people contact their regular business attorney. That can be a big mistake.

Just as different singers often offer widely varying interpretations of the same song, different observers view the used jet market from diverse vantage points. Moreover, a buyer's or seller's perspective on the market can make, impede or prevent a sale.
July 25, 2012
The business jet finance market is changing, just like the rest of the world economy. It's becoming more highly regulated, more conservative and more international. Its biggest challenge is the surfeit of cash that many aircraft buyers have on hand with no compelling place to invest.

As a big-ticket asset promising large potential tax adjustments, a business jet easily captures the attention of IRS auditors. Given the woefully complicated tax rules applicable to these aircraft, who can blame the IRS for seeking additional revenue opportunities in the flight department?
April 20, 2012
Like other lawsuits, most of the ones involving business jets are settled out of court. Every once in a while, though, a corporate jet case will not only reach a judge but produce a decision that shines a spotlight into some dark corner of business aviation. One such case is JDI Holdings, LLC v. Jet Management, Inc., et al., 732 F. Supp.

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""
-business aviation entrepreneur Nick Popovich

A Recipe for Making Cookies
The overwhelming majority of URLs begin with the letters "http", which stands for "hypertext transfer protocol". Just as e-mail is transferred using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and files are often retrieved using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), files written in HTML are generally transmitted using HTTP.
Why did the Web's inventors create a new protocol for transmitting hypertext, rather than sticking with previous ones? One answer is that they were interested in allowing servers to respond quickly and efficiently to requests from browsers. The client (browser) side of an HTTP transaction consists of a request for a document, containing several optional parameters, describing the document's content type and its last modification date. The server responds to the request by describing the document, including its content type, and returning the document. Once the document is sent, the server closes the connection. By exchanging a minimum of information and then breaking the connection, documents are transmitted with a low overhead, and thus, at a relatively fast clip.
This "statelessness"--the fact that each connection is used to transmit a single document and that each transaction takes place in a vacuum—was a terrific idea in the early days of the Web. It meant that browsers and servers had to keep track of very little information when transmitting documents, thus reducing the size and increasing the speed for these programs.
As a result, if we look at the access log from a typical web server, we see a list of document requests as well as the IP address (i.e., the number that uniquely identifies a computer on the Internet) of the computer from which the request originated. We do not, however, know whether three requests made from the same computer at roughly the same time were made by the same person or by three different people.
In many cases this would not be a problem; after all, if my web site is set up to serve out pages of HTML, then I probably don't care whether 1,000 different people have visited my site or if the same person has read 1,000 documents. For many sites statelessness does not present any obstacles.
However, many site owners, particularly commercial ones, are increasingly frustrated with the Web's inherent statelessness. It is much easier to sell advertising when you have a precise count of the number of people visiting your site, rather than a list of how many times each document was accessed. The number of "hits", or individual HTTP requests received by a server, is a reasonable measure of a site's success only in the non-profit and personal sector; commercial sites are far more interested in how many pages were viewed by a given number of individuals.
Even small personal sites occasionally like to keep track of users. If you want to personalize a user's view of your site, a way to keep track of each user's preferences rather than a setting which applies to all users. And, while you could certainly get a user's name (and password, if necessary) via HTML forms, forcing the user to enter this on every page, or even upon arriving at your site's home page, would be a great burden on the user.
This month we will look at one of the most popular ways to keep track of user state, best known as HTTP cookies. Cookies allow servers to store small pieces of data on the user's computer, and thus to keep track of a user's movements on our site. Note that while cookies can be used to keep track of a user's movements, and potentially build a profile which might be of use to advertisers, they cannot collect any information which the user does not provide. Fears of privacy abuse might be true in some cases (and designers should recognize that cookies will offend and upset some users), but the fear that cookies can somehow collect information from your computer without your knowledge is off the mark. Cookies simply make it much easier to create interesting sites.
Cookies are small (up to 4KB) pieces of data stored on the user's computer by his browser. In addition to a name,value pair, cookies are tagged with expiration dates limiting the length of time they may be stored, as well as an indicator of the Internet host or domain that originally created the cookie.
The basic rule to remember when dealing with cookies is that the value of a cookie is set by the server using HTTP responses, and browsers return those values using HTTP requests. It's a bit disconcerting to think of things this way; we are not used to responses from servers containing a request of their own.
Let's say that we have a CGI program that returns a small bit of HTML when invoked. Assuming that the program is in the /cgi-bin directory and is called sample.pl, our browser would retrieve it by connecting to the server on port 80 and issuing a request like this one:
GET /cgi-bin/sample.pl HTTP/1.0
This request says that we are using HTTP 1.0 and would like the server to send us the document /cgi-bin/sample.pl. The server, because of its configuration options, knows that anything in /cgi-bin is a program, and so it executes sample.pl, returning the output. Here is an example of what sample.pl might return:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK Content-type: text/html  <Title>Test</Title>
Test
 The above is about as minimal as a modern HTTP transaction can get. A single header (Content-type) following the status code and preceding the message body is returned. Most of the time, more information is included in the response headers, such as the server name and version number and the date on which the document was created. If the server wants to set a cookie on the browser's computer, it must include an additional header, named Set-cookie. Just as the Content-type header defines the type of data that is being returned in the response, the Set-cookie header defines the name and value for a cookie that applies to the site from which the response originated.
For example, Listing 1 contains a short program (cookie-test.pl) that creates a cookie on the user's computer. If we run cookie-test.pl from a web browser, we see the HTML output produced by the program. If it were not for the program's polite indication that it had set a cookie, we would never know unless we asked our browser to warn us each time. (I tried this feature on discovering it in Netscape Navigator 3.0, but I quickly turned it off when I discovered how often such dialog boxes were interfering with my web browsing and how innocuous most of them appeared to be.)

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Witch Doctor Mal Practice # 3 - Brandon Seifert Lukas KetnerBy Arion in Reviews on March 30, 2013
The tribulations of the hero can be many. Some writers will create easy problems for their characters to solve; others, however, will literally torture their protagonists in order to entertain us, the readers. As if we were in the Roman Coliseum, thirsty for blood and death. But, in the end, aren't our favorite stories those in which the stakes are high and victory no longer seems to be a possibility? Certainly, in the third issue of Witch Doctor, Brandon Seifert does precisely that. He places Doctor Vincent Morrow in an almost impossible situation. And he raises the stakes, and failure seems the most possible outcome. And it all works quite nicely. Because, as readers, we experience the desperation of the protagonist and the obstacles he must surmount. And the doctor isn't the only one who is in problems. For the first time ever, Penny Dreadful, the invincible secret weapon, is subdued. At the end of the issue, the only man standing up is Eric Gast, but will he have enough resources to prevail? Penny Dreadful defeated / Penny Dreadful derrotada As I have mentioned before, Lukas Ketner does a terrific job as penciler and inker of the series. Just a look at his suggestive cover tells us a lot about the risks the doctor will face in this issue, while making us remember all the Voodoo related folklore. The interior art, as usual, is superb. The fighting sequence between an army of Golems and Penny Dreadful is great, and so is the big panel in which we see her laying down, defeated, unconscious and with a powerful talisman in her neck. Another example of visual creativity comes when the enemy reveals his true self, and his companions shed their false skin, their human disguise, to appear as what they truly are: demonic monsters that defy our imagination. Of course, the scene in which we see Eric, completely alone, trying to hold his ground against a horde of monsters is quite memorable. There are only three issues left before the end of the miniseries, and I'm sure they'll be amazing. ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ the real enemy / el verdadero enemigo Las tribulaciones del héroe pueden ser muchas. Algunos escritores crearán problemas fáciles de resolver para sus personajes; otros, sin embargo, literalmente torturarán a sus personajes para entretenernos a nosotros, los lectores. Como si estuviésemos en el coliseo romano, sedientos de sangre y muerte. Pero, al final, ¿nuestras historias favoritas no son aquellas en las que todo está en riesgo y la victoria parece imposible? Ciertamente, en el tercer número de "Witch Doctor", Brandon Seifert hace precisamente eso. Coloca al doctor Vincent Morrow en una situación casi imposible. El riesgo aumenta, y el fracaso parece un desenlace probable. Y todo encaja muy bien. Porque, como lectores, experimentamos la desesperación del protagonista y los obstáculos que debe superar. Eric Gast Y el doctor no es el único en problemas. Por primera vez, Penny Dreadful, la invencible arma secreta, es sometida. Al final, el único hombre en pie es Eric Gast, ¿pero tendrá los recursos necesarios para prevalecer? Como he mencionado antes, Lukas Ketner hace un trabajo estupendo como dibujante a lápiz y a tinta. Sólo una mirada a su sugerente portada nos dice mucho sobre los riesgos que enfrentará el doctor en este número, mientras que nos hace recordar el folklor vudú. El arte interior, como siempre, es soberbio. La secuencia de lucha entre un ejército de golems y Penny Dreadful es grandiosa, y también lo es la viñeta grande en la que podemos verla sobre el piso, derrotada, inconsciente y con un poderoso talismán en el cuello. Otro ejemplo de creatividad visual está en la forma en que el enemigo revela su verdadera identidad, al desprenderse de su piel falsa, de su disfraz humano: son monstruos demoníacos que desafían nuestra imaginación. Por supuesto, la escena en la vemos a Eric, completamente solo, tratando de defenderse contra una horda de monstruos es más que memorable. Sólo quedan tres números para que termine la miniserie, y estoy seguro que serán asombrosos. Originally Published at http://artbyarion.blogspot.com/2013/03/witch-doctor-mal-practice-3-brandon.html

Review: The Goon Volume 1 Nothin' But MiseryBy Rui Esteves in Reviews on March 29, 2013
Cover The Goon and Frankie are back in action in Nothin' But Misery, written and drawn by Eric Powell and published by Dark Horse. This first volume collect issues #1 to #4, The Goon Color Special and the short story Die Fish Die. In this volume the Goon and Frankie have to deal with Zombies (of course), Alien Mook, Haunted Houses, Fishy Pete, ancient revenges and Santa Claus. How is it? Eric Powell continues the saga of the Goon and his pal Frankie, this time with Dark Horse. And it all starts with our good friend Fishy Pete in Die Fish Die. What?! You don't know Fishy Pete? Well, he's a dock worker that opposes the Labrazio's Mob presence in the docks. Still don't remember him? Then go read my Volume 0 review. This time Fishy Pete strikes back at the Goon. Basically it goes as well as you're imagining, but with some very hilarious and Monty Python ish moments. In the first chapter the Goon will learn two important lessons. First and foremost loony old people that play in the mud know a hole lot of stuff, secondly haunted houses are no laughing matter. As fate as it the Goon and Frankie stumble upon an old treasure buried deep in a haunted house by some low life a few years before. Yes Goon, you can touch Eric choose to write this book with episodic short or issue long stories, that are, for the most part, interchangeable with each other. While the weak continuity and lack of a strict reading order might turn some comic book readers off, I love it here. Eric does a great job coming up with original, albeit a bit gimmicky, ideas that keep the light humor and heavy action rolling and far from stale. So the second chapter is a new story, and this time is for an old foe of the Goon to inhabit the body of an Ogre and seek revenge. Needless to say there will be fist-a-cups, blood, tears and inflatable chickens. Also, contrary to popular mythos, this Ogre is very well-spoken, much more than our hero and galaxies more than Frankie. Question: Have you ever asked yourself how Eric would incorporate a Ghost Rider, Phantom Stranger or Crimson Avenger type of concept into The Goon? No? Me neither, but Eric did and the result is in the third chapter of this book. The ending is somewhat predictable but that didn't stop me from enjoying this odd but entertaining story. Fishy Pete The Goon Christmas Story. This alone should make you want to read it. But if you have to know more, then here it goes. Evil elves, badass cowboy Santa, hot lady in red, frozen zombies and gift giving Goon. The forth and (almost) last chapter is the weakest . During a night out on the town with his girlfriend Frankie gets kidnapped by a magician and his evil assistants. Then Goon goes to the rescue. Its not a bad story but its not quite up to par with the previous ones. Last but not least there is a short story about an Alien Mook that comes to Earth to conquer some turf and get down to business. Well, being a short story there isn't much to talk about, but I can say one thing... I laughed hard when the punchline came. Verdict? Overall this is a fun and entertaining book. I had high expectation and I wasn't disappointed. Eric kept the writing cool, funny and dynamic and the art constant in quality and always a delight to see. If you've read the Goon and didn't like it, then this is not for your. If you never read the Goon then this is a good jump in point. If you're a fan then you should already own it. Recommended.

Happy # 4 - Grant Morrison Darick RobertsonBy Arion in Reviews on March 29, 2013
Imaginary friends have a well-defined origin. Just like certain toys that function as transitional objects, an imaginary friend often serves a similar purpose. Happy, the blue horse, also personifies transition. For starters, Happy is the last remnant of Hailey's childhood naiveté, but this cartoonish pet is also the motivation behind Nick's transition. His characteristic cynicism and cruelty are slowly changing into commitment and responsibility. The final confrontation between Nick and the pedophilic Santa Claus is quite brutal. In many ways, Nick Sax has been a character doomed since the opening frames of this miniseries. He's a sick man, with a heart condition and someone who has been wounded and hospitalized more often than he would care to admit. Now, using his last energies, he does everything he can to preserve the lives –and innocence– of the captured children. Santa Claus on drugs / Papa Noel en drogas This final issue has some truly thought-provoking moments: the confrontation between Nick and a depraved priest, whose job description, as Morrison brilliantly sums up, is to get in touch with something that doesn't exist (and isn't that the job of all priests in the world?). One of the best scenes here also involves a game with inexistent creatures and projections of our fantasy. Happy, as an imaginary friend, travels as fast and as far as he can go, and he rounds up thousands of imaginary friends from children all over the globe. And it's thanks to the arrival of Happy's reinforcements that Nick is able to finally kill Santa Claus. The ending of "Happy", however, isn't precisely about happiness. On the contrary, it's quite sad, but it also makes perfect sense with the premises established since the opening chapter. Once again, Darick Robertson creates some truly exquisite art. From the great "Santa Claus on drugs" panel to the marvelous double page spread in which Happy and the cavalry surround Santa Claus. If you have been slightly unsatisfied with Morrison's recent output from DC, then you must read "Happy", it will restore your faith in the Scottish writer. I guarantee it. If you want to read more about Happy, click here: Happy # 1, Happy # 2 and Happy # 3. ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Nick Sax Los amigos imaginarios tienen un origen bien definido. Al igual que ciertos juguetes que funcionan como objetos transicionales, un amigo imaginario a menudo desempeña un propósito similar. Happy, el caballo azul, también personifica la transición. Para empezar, Happy es el último remanente de la inocencia infantil de Hailey, pero esta caricaturesca mascota es también lo que motiva la transición de Nick. Su cinismo característico y su crueldad están cambiando lentamente en compromiso y responsabilidad. La confrontación final entre Nick y el Papa Noel pedófilo es bastante brutal. Desde las secuencias iniciales de esta miniserie, Nick Sax ha sido un personaje condenado. Es un hombre enfermo, con problemas cardiacos y alguien que ha sido herido y hospitalizado más de la cuenta. Ahora, usando sus últimas energías, hace todo lo que puede para preservar las vidas -y la inocencia- de los niños capturados. Happy and the imaginary friends / Happy y los amigos imaginarios Este número final tiene algunos momentos que nos invitan a la reflexión: la confrontación entre Nick y un cura depravado, su trabajo es descrito por Morrison con lucidez, se trata de ponerse en contacto con algo que no existe (¿y no es ese el trabajo de todos los curas del mundo?). Una de las mejores escenas involucra un juego con criaturas inexistentes y proyecciones de nuestra fantasía. Happy, al ser un amigo imaginario, viaja tan rápido y tan lejos como puede, y recluta a miles de amigos imaginarios de niños de todo el orbe. Y es gracias a la llegada de los refuerzos de Happy que Nick es capaz de matar, por fin, a Papa Noel. El final de "Happy", sin embargo, no es precisamente feliz. Por el contrario, es bastante triste, pero es coherente con las premisas establecidas desde el capítulo inicial. Una vez más, Darick Robertson crea un arte realmente exquisito. Desde el gran "Papa Noel en drogas" hasta la maravillosa página doble en la que Happy y la caballería rodean a Papa Noel. Si han estado ligeramente insatisfechos con la producción reciente de Morrison para DC, entonces deben leer "Happy", restaurará vuestra fe en el escritor escocés. Garantizado.

TripAdvisor Reviews Klong Prao Resort Ko Chang
Travel Blogs from Ko Chang
It could've all gone Koh Rong...
... getting us into a songthaew going in the right direction too! The hotel we are staying in isn't half bad either. It's great! Gino, one of the owners, booked us in and gave us an extended happy hour. After we dumped our bags we ended up chatting to another of the owners called Maus. They are both Dutch and pretty funny. After drinks we went for dinner over the road and came back to find a pet cat waiting to get into our room. Not this time little buddy. Now it's bed time. Good night ...
Chilling on the Chang
... the sea and now makes his living renting out rooms and scuba-harpooning big fish that may end up on your dinner plate the very same day!
14 May
We decided against hiring a moped on the treacherous island roads after an almighty monsoon style downpour and instead took a taxi to Klong Plu national park and hiked through the jungle to the stunning waterfall and swam in the pool below - wonderfully refreshing at the time...
On the way back to Bang Bao ...
Mostly busy doing nothing
I've had to buy some white trousers and a long sleeve white shirt in a bid to foil the mosquitos. It seems to be working, but Jon is still number one favourite breakfast and dinner and is really suffering. I've threatened to bind his hands so he can't keep scratching and making the bites bleed.
Jon went diving ...
Thailand - Koh Chang
... treated me to dinner and the hotel had a themed night that night where you pay and eat as much as you like, well I took full advantage 4 plates and a few cocktails later I was spoilt, happy and full ;) After 2 full dates of bliss around the pool we had to checkout and return to paradise bungalows but like I said we loved it here too, the only complaint really was that everyday the electric would go out for a while and the wifi never seemed to work after ...
Firecrackers = Happy New Year
... still have to sit and wait while everyone else's visa was processed so nothing to gain. Then we travel on to Sihanoukville before nightfall, overnight there before another bus to Phnom Penh, simples!
John has been feeling a bit poorly all day and just makes it into our bungalow before emptying the contents of his stomach down the toilet. Later that same night he finishes off by emptying out the other end and I am pleased to say he is a lot better for it!

Job-related deaths are less likely for women
September 30, 1998
Women suffered 2,506 (or 8 percent) of the 31,567 job-related fatalities reported from 1992 to 1996. During the same time period, women accounted for slightly less than 50 percent of the workforce.
[Chart data—TXT]
Women suffered only slightly over one third of the 2 million cases of work-related injuries and illnesses that resulted in days away from work. Women accounted for more cases than men of carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, respiratory system diseases, infectious and parasitic diseases, and disorders resulting from anxiety and stress.
Women may experience fewer job-related deaths and injuries because they typically are employed in less dangerous jobs such as teaching or other service occupations. Few women work in the construction trades or in other high-risk jobs where work is performed outdoors.
Additional information on job-related deaths is available from the BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries program; additional information on work-related injuries and illnesses is available from the BLS Annual Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. More detail on deaths, injuries, and illnesses by gender is available from "Issues in Labor Statistics: Women Experience Fewer Job-related Injuries and Deaths than Men." For a thorough analysis of women's injuries and illnesses, see "Work Injuries and Illnesses Occurring to Women" (PDF 42K), Compensation and Working Conditions, Summer 1998.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Job-related deaths are less likely for women on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1998/sep/wk5/art03.htm (visited September 30, 2016).

This is my favorite sweatshirt in the whole world. YES it is boxy and the fabric is thick and I LOVE IT. I wanted the big boxy vintage fit and I think it is perfect for this fabric. I sized up and it is the perfect enormous fit, and it hits at my hips. I am 5'5" 105 and got a small. Sleeves are slouchy and long but it looks stylish and I prefer them this way. And again, I love the wide boxy fit! the fabric is super nice. Soft, warm and all cotton. The ribs are very insulating. Textured fabric traps heat. Throw this baby on with AA's baby thermal top and you are gonna be super toasty, you won't need a jacket. I can see this lasting forever. I HAVE ALL THE COLORS. PLEASE MAKE THIS IN MORE COLORS. I will die if you guys make this in the colors of the ottoman rib jacket. SO PERFECT.

I ordered this pullover in natural size xs, but sent it back. I did not like the way it was fashioned: very wide and not too long plus it was tight at the bottom and had very long sleeves.

March 23, 2011
5'6", 130 lbs, bought it in a size small, natural colour and i LOVE it. love it. the fit is JUST right. the perfect amount of room. i tried on the navy in a small also but found that it ran a lot smaller and shorter than the natural colour.
so plush and comfortable, well worth the $$. can't get enough.

October 12, 2010
after reading others comments i ordered one in S, as im usually an XS/S. The size was Ok i think XS would have been too short. I like it a lot but i still dont know if its worth 54 euros or not. It feels too boxy, like someone mentioned below me.

i LOVE this sweater. I think i will be living in this sweater this coming winter! I am usually an XS in AA, and this sweater is a S.
I love the fabric and the length but I dislike the length of the sleeves and the torso.
The sleeves are way too long and the torso is too boxy.
I would have exchanged it for a XS but the neck-hole was too small- Still love it though!
by Karyn
September 20, 2010
My sister bought this sweater and raved about it so much that I had to try it out as well. I am IN LOVE! Am a bit worried about how it'll hold up in the wash, but AA stuff is usually pretty durable. I haven't been able to take this off! I wear it everyday, which is getting embarrassing so please AA make more colors (like navy & black) so that I can wear a diff colour everyday!!!!!
by Kat
September 15, 2010
I'm 100 lbs and got a S since XS was too short (I'm 5'7). I like that the sleeves are super long because it adds a slouchy chic feel to the sweater. The fabric is amazing and my only complaint is that because it's unisex it can look boxy at times. Nonetheless great year-round sweater!

I ordered this online and I was very concerned about the sizing. Fortunately I got what I was looking for, I am a UK size 8-10 and I wanted a big jumper to wear with leggings. I hope this helps if I say that a size M will probably look on you like the model pictured.

This is so adorable. I got it in the XS as unisex items in AA are usually a little more ample, but this was so tight in the bottom and body that it went back for a S. Just got the small last week and it's a little bigger than I wished, but will keep it. It's very soft though and versatile and it will go well here in Chicago year round. Great fabric.

This is so adorable and soft and versatile. I ordered an XS as it's unisex & many of the AA products that are unisex run big. It's very tight though in the bottom and sleeves. And I'm only 116 lbs, 5'6" and smallish frame. So it's going back for a larger size. So cute though.

Off the Beaten Path in Europe: Bruges, Belgium and Rocco Forte Hotel Amigo
Often described as the "Venice of the North" or "another Amsterdam," the magical city of Bruges is an untouristed delight. As recently featured in a NYT article about Affordable Europe/Second-Tier Cities, Bruges is a less-pricey alternative for a European holiday:
Bruges, a medieval city in the Flemish region of Belgium, has fairy-tale streets, gingerbread houses and winding canals that lead to old windmills.
The city itself is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its 50 picturesque canals and charming medieval buildings. The newly-refurbished Rocco Forte Hotel Amigo has put together a special package for visitors to enjoy both Bruges and the lively capital city of Brussels. Superbly located in the very heart of the capital, adjacent to the Grand Palace, Hotel Amigo now provides the best luxury digs in Brussels. The "Bruges Your Way" package, starting at EUR 511 for two nights, includes accommodations in a Classic room, full buffet breakfast at the Ristorante Bocconi, one first-class return train ticket (Brussels-Bruges) per person, guide and map of Bruges, map of Brussels, and a box of Pierre Marcolini chocolates in your room upon arrival.
Shompole, Great Rift Valley: Luxury, Eco-Friendly Lodgings in Kenya
Indulge in some guilt-free pampering-- safari-style-- at the Rift Valley's stunning Shompole lodge. Overlooking the sun-bleached savannah near the Tanzanian border, Shompole is a luxurious outpost surrounded by pristine wilderness. Tented rooms are composed of quartz floors and pale thatch roofs, blending perfectly into the surroundings. From your own private "cool-pool," gaze out across the valley while lounging in blissful seclusion. The resort is managed by both a private safari company and members of the local Masai tribes, and sets an example for its environmental and social programs: wildlife conservation projects, the use of solar power, and low-impact building practices. Shompole has lured savy travelers with its exquisite accommodations and services, but now that green travel has gone mainstream, this eco-friendly resort will no doubt shine in the media spotlight. Guests enjoy safaris to view the big game and incredible wildlife, along with trips to the Shompole village and Flamingo breeding habitats at the alkaline lakes Magadi and Natron.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Lexington County has been added to South Carolina areas eligible for federal disaster relief after a February storm that caused more than $430 million in damage.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday that Lexington County had been added to 21 counties already eligible for the aid. Last month, the White House announced President Barack Obama had approved Gov. Nikki Haley's relief request.
The declaration means federal funding is available to state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged between Feb. 10 and Feb. 14.
The storm left up to an inch of ice that snapped trees and branches across a wide swath of the state and dumped snow in the Upstate.

"We have booked 4 rooms for a friends gathering in Macau, hotel rooms are spacious and nice decorated. Location is good and convenience, there is many restaurants around the hotel. Only the check out time is too long and guests need to wait for housekeeping checking when you check out."

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The latest installment of the slick, highly profitable parody franchise.
Rotten: A film composed almost entirely of jokes that were much funnier when you read them on Twitter years ago.
Rotten: [A] numbingly inane if cheerfully up-to-the-minute new entry in a franchise presumed to have breathed its last seven years ago.
Rotten: For the art-house crowd, who may, I suppose, stumble drunk into the wrong theater after too much Chardonnay, there are nods to Black Swan and 127 Hours.
Customer Reviews
Funny but shocking!
Scary movie 5 was funny but there were some parts that were a little shocking and disgusting. Especially the scene where Jodi went with Kendra to the bar. That was just like, OMG! It was gross. But otherwise the movie was awesome! I say about 4 to 4 1/2 stars.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's not funny at all, and the jokes are really stupid. There's one part in the movie where a little girl sticks a toothbrush up her butt, pulls it out, smells it, and falls on the floor, gagging. It's not funny, it's really stupid and weird, and it pretty much describes the Movie as a whole. Don't buy it or rent it; it's not worth your time. You'll get stupider when you watch this movie, it's so bad.
For the Scary Movie franchise I have to say I was really disappointed in them with this movie. Save your self some time and watch A haunted house way better than this movie will ever be :l

I recently had the opportunity to Photograph these three gorgeous kids in Echuca, we had limited time and one aim, to get an image for a surprise birthday gift for their dad. They did well and the canvas arrived in time!
Sometimes getting your kids organised for a photo session can take all the fun out of it, believe me I have been there! But having a beautiful print or canvas to hang on your wall makes it so worth it!
Winter is a perfect time to update Family Portraits, and I have a sale on portrait sitting for July & August in Bendigo & Echuca, so email now to make a booking.

Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
The guy is about as "Vermont Stereotype" as you could get....a big black beard, huge glasses, wears a lot of plaid, hands that when you shake them it feels like you are grabbing a leather jacket that was left outside for several months. His wife is actually very pretty, to the point that I'm sure a lot of people double-take when they are together. It looks like this dainty princess walking around with a guy that eats bark She cleans a rabbit though faster than I have ever seen. It goes from rabbit to meat in about 25 seconds. I timed her. Beautiful.
Their home is actually off of a snowmobile trail, called the VAST here, so in the winter they leave their truck at the road, snowmobile to the house, then walk up the hill. Keep in mind they have a toddler, with another on the way.They are hardcore.
Mainly, you have to buy land that is open-zoning. Up where I am, this is probably 90% of it, but I know that in a lot of cities and suburbs there are a lot of rules....they will actually FORCE YOU to hook it into the grid, get municipal water, all to fit their "zoning" requirement. No one mentions this in all of their "freedom" talk. I understand the need for strict zoning within a city, but a lot of it is wanting to force even rural areas to get in line....here we don't have that problem. My state representative from my area lives on a 100+ acre apple farm with no electricity.
1) Buy a piece of open-zoning land. It will usually be really cheap, because very few people want land with nothing nearby. I recently bought 55 acres for 36k, as I plan on putting a hunting cabin up there.
2) Find a contractor that builds material homes. This means they will supply only the materials needed to build the home, and you get the actual builder separately. This will save a LOT of money, especially if you are able to do some of it yourself or have any friends in construction. Even without that, a straight builder won't cost that much compared to what most people pay for a finished house.
3) Build a well and get a power source. Clear some space if you need for the house.
I used these two companies for my land and home. Obviously I don't know the reputable people in CA, but I can't imagine these kind of companies don't exist:
Land for Sale, Vermont Farms for Sale, Vermont Ranches for Sale, Acreage - Vermont
Coventry Log Homes | Log Homes, Log Home Kits, & Prices | Website

Laz's posts are often filled with information in a clear concise way. I had an Ecology instructor who used to call it the Bambi complex - he was referring to something slightly different, which is people who are anti-hunting while they are totally unaware of how much of the deer population starves to death, or how CAFO animals are treated before they become steaks. I think that vegans who think they are more moral than omnivores have just as much of a disconnect with their food as people who think ground beef magically appears wrapped in plastic.

Here in NZ our deer, pigs, wild goats and possums etc..... have no natural predators, so if we didnt hunt them we would have an even more serious problem than we do now. This country is overrun with wild animals, especially possums. Yes they are cute, and it scares the bejebbus out of you when they are staring you down, at night, in the middle of the road, but hell they eat out native birds eggs, and fauna and flora. I personally think that eating a pest would have to be the best use of resources.
And no I do not hunt, i do not know how to shoot a gun, however two of our daughters are great shots and will bring me deer, rabbits etc.
what i would like to say thou, is that guns are lethal in the wrong hands, so please PLEASE if you are wanting to learn how to process your own animals - learn from a master
"never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....
I would love to live like that!
I grew up on a farm with cow, pigs, sheep, rabbits, chickens, turkeys an orchard with apples, plums, peaches and a huge 1/2 acre garden. Walnut and almond trees that we sold the nuts from. We named our animals and slaughtered them. We canned fruit, vegetables and ate mostly what we grew. I loved that life and wish I could do it again.
My kids grew up in suburbia. Sadness to me. As adults they get grossed out when I talk about slaughtering of animals. They do understand it, but it is not how they grew up and I feel I have done a dis service to them in that respect.
Years ago - about 3 decades, when the farmers went on strike anyhow - my mother and I went up to Lynnhaven, MA where her parents lived, to give them a 50th wedding anniversary party. There was a run to support small farmers who were going on strike, and we got in it. Someone was doing a video, and they stopped us to interview us. We live on a farm. We were hearing people from Boston, and even my grandparent's neighbors say, "Food is manufactured. It comes from a factory. Peas and carrots and all vegetables are made in a factory, and then put in a can." They had nothing good to say about the thousands of small farmers who went on strike because they were losing their homes - their way of life. They had no idea IN REAL LIFE of where food originates. I was absolutely stunned!

The fourth-ranked Wichita State University Shockers men's basketball team, which beat Drake over the weekend to run its record to 21-0, has become a marquee opponent on everybody's schedule. Along with top-ranked Arizona and No. 2 Syracuse, the Shockers are among three unbeaten teams left in men's Division I basketball. Considering the weakened state of the Missouri Valley Conference and the schedule they still have left, there's a good chance Wichita State will become the first team to enter the NCAA tournament with an unblemished record since UNLV in 1991.

Times Cinema to reopen Dec. 28
The Times Cinema will reopen Friday with floodlight hitting the skies, a red carpet purportedly filled with paparazzi and "Django Unchained" on the screen.
The Times, at 5906 W. Vliet St., has been closed since March, when the lender for the building and other properties, including the Rosebud Cinema in Wauwatosa, began foreclosure proceedings. Investor Lee Barczak, who owns the Avalon Theatre property in the Bay View neighborhood, bought the Times and Rosebud at a foreclosure auction in May, and reopened the Rosebud in August »Read Full Article(1)
A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers. This list spans the genre's generations with classics from the likes of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Gene Autry and Kitty Wells and updated holiday hits from Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and many more. Did I miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
I also tossed the music video of Kenny Rogers and Parton's "A Christmas to Remember" at the end of this post. The song isn't available on Spotify, but that's okay because the music video is so pricelessly unique that you just need to watch it to get the full experience. Check out Kenny and Dolly singing together in a ski lodge filled with stiff mannequins from a 1980s Christmas special. There's no explanation needed - it's just one of those quirky Christmas moments! »Read Full Blog Post
