With its merry-go-round exchange of deluded and bewitched lovers, an orphan-turned-princess, a usurped prince, a jewel and a flower with magical properties, a march to the scaffold and a meddling 'mistress-of-ceremonies' who encourages the young lovers to disguise and deceive, William Makepeace Thackeray's The Rose and the Ring has all the ingredients of an opera buffa.

The labor unions have made some compromises, however, and the budget gap of €3.7 million seems to have been largely closed with these new agreements. Staff reductions and other measures to meet the reduced subsidies are still under review.

Chart showing different necklace lengths
Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearls
Japanese Akoya pearls are the original cultured pearl. The first Akoya pearl was created in 1905 and since then, the number of cultured pearls has grown exponentially. The pearls are cultivated in the cool waters surrounding Japan, where the average temperature ranges from 59 degrees Fahrenheit to 73.4 degrees Fahrenheit. These Japanese pearls come from Akoya oysters that live in shoals located several feet beneath the surface of the water.
Because the water tends to be calm and cool, the pearls tend to be richer and more colorful than other types of pearls. They have a brilliant luster and come in white, cream, pink or silvery-pink tones. Akoya pearls are also some of the smallest pearls on the market because Akoya oysters are some of the smallest pearl-producing oysters on earth. At American Pearl, we offer a variety of colorful Akoya pearls necklaces, such as the white Akoya pearl necklace.
American Pearl's Commitment to Quality Akoya Pearls
In order to assure customers that they are purchasing natural color, true top-grade Japanese Akoya pearl strands, we label each necklace with a TRUE label and include a pearl identification report with every necklace that includes the item's grade according to the GIA Pearl Grading System.

News: Deontay Wilder, Danny Garcia, Juanma, More
BAYAMON, P.R.- Unified Super Lightweight World Champion Danny "Swift" Garcia, Top Lightweight Contender Mauricio Herrera, WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder, heavyweight contender Malik "King" Scott, , WBO International Junior Lightweight Champion Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez and Former WBC Featherweight World Champion Daniel Ponce De Leon are deep in training camp for their respective March 15 bouts in Puerto Rico live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) and SHOWTIME EXTREME (7 p.m. ET/PT).
Here is what the fighters have to say about how their camps are going and how they feel about the night of action coming up on Saturday, March 15, at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez.
Where are you training and when did you start?
Danny Garcia: "I've been training in Philadelphia for about eight weeks."
Mauricio Herrera: "I started training the day I signed for this fight. I've been training out of Riverside, Calif. at a gym called Capital Punishment Gym with my trainer Jose Torres."
Deontay Wilder: "I'm training back home in Tuscaloosa, Ala.. I've been training non-stop since my last fight but officially started sparring on Feb. 17."
Malik Scott: "I've been training at the Ten Goose Boxing Gym since about mid-January."
Juan Manuel Lopez: "I have been training at the Caimito Gym since the beginning of January. It is the same gym used by Tito Trinidad for many of his fights and also by Oscar De La Hoya while he was in Puerto Rico."
Daniel Ponce de Leon: "I've been training for about a month at my gym in Montebello, Calif.."
If you had to pick the most challenging camp moment, what would that be and why?
Danny Garcia: "Losing weight and sparring is always the toughest challenge in training camp."
Mauricio Herrera: "This camp has not only been the toughest, but it's been the smartest. I have changed things that didn't work for me in my past camps and implemented more things that work."
Deontay Wilder: "I would have to say it's working with the Wladimir Klitschko camp. A lot of great moments all around with that camp. I came with questions and left with answers."
Malik Scott: "We've had a smooth training camp so we haven't had one."
Juan Manuel Lopez: "The whole camp has been somewhat challenging because it is the first time I am training in a different gym that is far from the one I normally use."
Daniel Ponce De Leon: "The most difficult situation for a fighter is to make weight. I recognize that I was struggling in my last two fights to make the junior featherweight division."
What are your thoughts on your opponent now that you are deep in training?
Danny Garcia: "Mauricio is a tough fighter but I am 110 percent ready; come March 15 it will be another epic performance by me."
Mauricio Herrera: "I don't see Danny Garcia as any different than anyone else. I don't want to hold him way up on a pedestal the way his dad does. Danny Garcia is just like me. We both bleed and we both feel pain."
Deontay Wilder: "I think Malik will come to fight and make this heavyweight showdown one of the best to come this year. So many people are super excited about this matchup that they can't stop talking about it and that's what the heavyweight division needs. I love the excitement and I'm very happy to be a part of bringing the division back to where it once was."
Malik Scott: "All my thoughts are on staying focused and getting ready for March 15."
Juan Manuel Lopez: " This will be a difficult fight for me. I am sure that it will be different than the first one."
Daniel Ponce de Leon: "Juan Manuel Lopez is a tough fighter. He has power and I know he will never lose his power. I expect a tough fight."
How do you feel about fighting in Puerto Rico?
Danny Garcia: "Fighting in Puerto Rico is a dream come true. I'm very excited and I can't wait to give my fans in Puerto Rico a great show."
Mauricio Herrera: "I feel great about fighting in Puerto Rico. There is a lot of love for the sport of boxing in Puerto Rico, so that gives me more incentive to bring everything I've got to the ring. In the end, I'll fight anywhere. The ring can be in Puerto Rico, Riverside or Las Vegas. It's a different crowd but the ring and my desire to win is the same."
Deontay Wilder: "I'm super excited about fighting in Puerto Rico. I look at it like this beautiful island, beautiful weather and beautiful people. I love traveling and one day want a home there near the beach."
Malik Scott: "All I know is, inside the ring it will be like home."
Juan Manuel Lopez: "I am super happy to be fighting in Puerto Rico and I see it asa great opportunity for my career."
Daniel Ponce De Leon: "I feel fine about fighting in Puerto Rico. I don't have any pressure. I know I am in his house but a lot of people will enjoy the fight."
The fighters participating on the "Garcia vs. Herrera" televised fight cardhave also taken to social media, sending out updates and photos from their training in anticipation of their March 15 bouts:
Wilder just said "super excited" twice, and Wlad has a habit of using that expression-- I guess the numerous sparring sessions made them more friends than foes.Comment by Hougigo on 03-03-2014

Doctor insights on:
Hida Scan Gallbladder Ejection Fraction
Hida scan showed gallbladder ejection fraction 33.4%. No stones but have constant pain x 2weeks and unable to eat. What is the likelihood of surgery?
Pretty Good: Biliary dyskinesia is the most likely cause of your problem. See a surgeon to review all of your findings. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Hida Scan (Definition)
Patient is injected intravenously with isotope tagged to chemical hida that is extracted preferentially by liver cells mimicking bile. Some of this is stored in gall bladder and some enters small bowel from common bile duct. Cholecystokinin is a natural hormone slowly injected intravenously to stimulate gall bladder contraction. Normal function has at least 50% ...Read more
During a hida scan, what is a normal gallbladder ejection fraction?
>35 %: A normal gallbladder ejection fraction is usually over 35%. Anything less than this would be considered dysfunction of the gallbladder or biliary dyskinesia. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is considered a high gallbladder ejection fraction during a hida scan?
Usually normal: Hyperkinetic or hyperactive gallbladder is not generally accepted as a diagnosis. A small group of patients (63) was symptomatic with cck infusion with greater than 80% ejection fraction. 28 of these patients underwent removal of gall bladder. 97% of these 28 patients showed improvement in symptoms following surgery. . More published retrospective and prospective studies needed. ...Read more
I'm a 31 year old male, had a HIDA scan on my gallbladder, my ejection fraction results were 13.7%.
What am I looking at in terms of treatment?
Depends: If you are having symptoms of gallbladder disease, like upper abdominal pain or nausea, you will likely benefit from gallbladder removal. If you are not having those symptoms, you may be able to avoid operation--for now. ...Read more
Doctor ordered a HIDA scan without ejection fraction. What's the point if I won't see gallbladder ejection fraction?
Rule out Acute Chole: The doctor ordered it to make sure your cystic duct is open and you do not have an Acute Cholecystitis, a common bile duct or small bowel obstruction. You stated that you have Gilbert's disease. Thus the doctor may also want to see if you have acute hepatocellular disease. The Ejection fraction will tell him if you do or do not have chronic cholecystitis. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
What does early homogeneous uptake of isotope within liver on a hida scan.. Is this ok? Also saod depressed gallbladder ejection fraction 10%
Normal: A hida scan is a gallbladder function test. The first medication is able to be followed as it goes through. The first thing seen is uptake by the liver. The liver takes the isotope out of the blood and dumps it in the bile. Once we see it in the gallbladder and bowel a 2nd med is given to tell the gb to work. The 10% is a decreased function of your gall bladder. Should be 50% +. See surgeon. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
What does ejection fraction means? I'm having a hida scan tomorrow because i'v been diagnosed w/a gallbladder sludge
Ejection fraction is: A measure of how effectively the gallbladder releases bile when it contracts. During a hida scan, the gallbladder accumulates the radioactive substance. Another medication is then given (cck) which stimulates the gallbladder to contract. A special camera measures how well the gallbladder empties. This is reported as a percentage. If abnormal, this may be a source of pain without gallstones. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
I'm constantly nauseated when i eat! is it because my gallbladder is only functioning 15%? Had hida scan which showed ejection fraction of 15%
Yes: A low ef suggest gallbladder dysfunction, which may cause nausea and abdominal pain after meals. Check with your doctor for treatment options. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Will a hida scan show if gallbladder is acute vs chronic. My ejection fraction 7% . Pain even when not eating .Some nausea. Vomited x1?
It does : In acute chokecystitis, the hida scan will typically show obstruction of the cystic duct (the duct to the gallbladder) this results in a nonviualized gallbladder. In chronic cholecystitis the gallbladder can be seen, meaning the duct is open. A stimulant is then given and the ability of the gallbladder to empty is measured. 50-75% ejection is normal. Less than 25% is considered dysfunctional. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Gallbladder ultra sound was normal w/NO stones... HIDA scan showed ejection fraction at 10%. I have frequent attacks, what are my chances of Gangrene?
Not common : Unless you have severe pain and fever, gangrene is unlikely. Avoid fatty and greasy foods. Gallbladder contracts when stimulated by fatty foods and this is when pain occurs (after fatty or greasy meals). ejection fraction is normally over 30 %. ...Read more

Get a little more elbow room in any room
If you're a homeowner and have a family, chances are you've decided you needed more space at one time or another. Instead of considering a move to a bigger home, look around your current footprint to see if you can carve out existing space.
There are many options that homeowners may consider when it comes to getting a little more room from your existing home. How about your unfinished basement? This is most common area to finish to gain extra space. The biggest decisions are how much to spend and how to allocate the space. Do you want one large recreational area or do you need multiple rooms, perhaps a bedroom, office, more storage, etc. If you choose to finish your basement, be sure to add a bathroom, it is a wise decision for your family now and resale value later. According to an annual survey by Remodeling Online, a basement project returns about 80 percent of the original cost. For now you and your growing family can enjoy your new space and perhaps in a later stage in your life, you could also treat your basement as a rental property. Basement apartments are becoming more popular.
Check your attic to find extra space. Special considerations are needed when looking at finishing your attic space. How will you ascend to this new space? It there an existing staircase or will one need to be constructed?
Another option is to install a spiral staircase. If you have the old rafter and beam setup then you are a good candidate to finish your attic. However, if your home is 15 years old or newer and has Manufactured Roof Trusses, these are very costly to remove. According to the 2012 International Residential Code, rooms with sloped ceilings must have a minimum ceiling height of 7 feet for at least 50 percent of the floor area. The new finished space must also be a minimum of 70 square feet and not less than 7 feet in any horizontal direction. You will also need to check the capacity of your HVAC unit to ensure that it can handle the additional square footage.
How about that seasonal sun room? Convert it into an all-season room. The major cost would be insulating and perhaps adding more capacity to your HVAC unit.
Last but not least, another option is adding a loft. The main requirement is adequate ceiling height. If you have 17-to-19-foot-high ceilings, you can create a loft. I recently created a loft at my home because we needed an office. This cozy space doubles as an office and reading nook overlooking the lush treed back yard. We matched the carpet to the hallway carpet. The banister was made exactly to specs of the existing rails leading down to the basement. This loft looks as if it came with the original house and adds more square footage to the home. This loft measures 7 feet wide by 14 feet long.
The key to any of these options is to be sure to finish it off as if it matched the style and natural flow of the home,
Be sure to use a licensed professional that can deal with issues of codes and standards. Always get three quotes and references for each one. If you are planning on making the investment, take the time to research and plan.

In tonight's episode of Last Man Standing that stars Tim Allen, Jonathan Taylor Thomas will make a "surprise" cameo – along with the previously announced Patricia Richardson – to help round out the impromptu Home Improvement reunion.
Richardson plays Helen Potts, a divorced neighbor of Allen's character, Mike. So how did the former Randy Taylor, aka the 33-year-old Thomas, end up in the episode, as well? Thomas came to the set to help promote the mini-reunion and the producers asked if he would step in to make a cameo. Lucky for Home Improvement fans, he did!

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles red carpet premiere of Dark Tourist starring Melanie Griffith featured a double reunion of stars from two beloved '90s shows: Beverly Hills, 90210 and Home Improvement.
Beverly Hills' resident hunks Luke Perry and Jason Priestly, who played Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh, looked as cooly casual as they found each other on the carpet and posed for photos with their signature smoldering stares. (Last year, the pair appeared together in an Old Navy commercial featuring fellow Beverly Hills alum Jennie Garth.)

Jonathan Taylor Thomas, formerly of TV's Home Improvement, left Hollywood at the height of his career, a decision he's never second-guessed.
"I'd been going nonstop since I was 8 years old," the 31-year-old actor, who appeared with Tim Allen on that ABC sitcom from 1991-99, tells PEOPLE. "I wanted to go to school, to travel and have a bit of a break."
In the nearly a decade away from the limelight, he attended Harvard, Columbia and St. Andrew's University in Scotland, and relished his time as a student.
"To sit in a big library amongst books and students, that was pretty cool," says Thomas. "It was a novel experience for me."

"I think at this point, I'd eventually like to work behind the camera," Thomas, 30, who quit the sitcom in 1998, tells Entertainment Weekly. "That's not to say I would never act again, I'm not quite sure to be honest. I still have a passion for TV and film [and] could see myself working in it."
As for his reunion with his former castmates, including his on-screen parents Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, Thomas says, "It was like a family reunion, like old times."

You never had a reason to fight. You never wanted to become a ninja. But your parents always expected you to become one, and you would do anything to make your parents proud. To make them happy.
But you were never strong. Even after becoming a chunin, you were always weak.
- This girl is a deception to our clan. - your father used to say.
That's why you started training every time you didn't have missions, until your exhaustion. You were always at the training field. Always. But you never grew stronger.
Then one day, you met him. He was a dark haired boy, with dark eyes and white skin. You didn't really pay attention to him.
- Can I train with you? - he asked.
- No problem. - you answered, distracted.
You trained together for hours. He was very strong, and you lost every time you fought him.
- I give up - you said, after some time. - You don't need to train with somebody weak like me.
- You're only weak because you give up and because you believe you're weak.
- What? - you raised your eyebrows.
- If you had something important to fight for, you wouldn't be so weak.
- Who do you think you are to talk with me like this?
- I'm Uchiha Itachi.
- Should I be impressed?
- I don't know. - he gave you a small smile, like you were being funny or something like this.
- And what do you fight for, Uchiha-san? - you asked him.
- For my village. - he answered.
As time passed by, you and the mysterious Itachi Uchiha became friends. You started to admire him - his dedication to Konoha, his strength, the way he was always taking care of his younger brother and the love he dedicated to him. It didn't take long for you to realize you were in love with him.
But when you told him about your feelings, he said:
- Sorry, but I don't feel the same for you. We are friends. That's what you are to me, a friend, and nothing more.
But you were not strong enough to give up. And you didn't. You loved him in silence, even if sometimes you felt depressed because of this. But you just could not give up. You loved him.
Two years passed and you noticed Itachi started to change. Now he was more quiet and serious than before, and he almost never smiled.
- Is there something wrong? - you asked him when you were at the training field.
- No, it's not.
- You know, if you have a problem you can tell me.
- I don't have any problem, (NAME).
- Okay...
You agreed, but you weren't so sure about it.
The next day, when you woke up, you heard the news. They were saying Itachi was a traitor. They were saying Itachi had left. You couldn't believe it.
The tears ran down your face. You walked the entire village, until you realized you were searching for him. You always believed him. He wasn't a traitor. He couldn't be.
"You're only weak when you give up. You become stronger when you have something to fight for."
And you made your decision.
"I'll find you. It doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll find you."
When the night came, you ran away.
Ran away from your village.
Ran away from your family.
Ran away from your friends.
Ran away from your life.
Because nothing of these things mattered anymore.
Not without him.
ItachixReader - Bitter love by Blanche-samaWatch
©2012-2016 Blanche-sama
oh dear god. Thank you thank you thank you. This is the most in character Itachi that I've ever seen (I love him to death really, but people tend to butcher his personality). Can I just say I love you right now?
Will there be another series about my adventure to find Itachi?
and sweet in a way
and sweet in a way
Considering this happened to me once, I literally feel heart broken just reading this.
That's sad but beautiful insperation

What do you think about this broker?
What do you think about this broker?
I am using it without problems so far, please wait for other reviews, as you can't build reputation on just single experience. but so far, experience is good.
To answer your question;
Yes, they are a no-interest dealer. You hold your position for as long as you wish, you do not pay interest - and you do not earn interest. This is ideal for GBJPY interest payment hedge.
Thanks Topchess,
I've been doing some research on this hedging with 2 different brokers. The risk is that of bankruptcy of the no interest dealer. Apparently the interest is some form of protection to the broker. I've also read that there are some brokers out there who can revoke this feature if it is abused. What constitutes an abuse, i wonder?
TopChess, do you have experience with Marketvia as far as this hedging aspect is concerned? How long have they been around? How easy is it to deposit and withdraw money?
Once again, thanks
I do not know how would you abuse their feature?
I am already hedging to get interest from my carry trade, and I do not face any problems. and I do not see that one broker should disallow me from trading for such reason.
Marketiva, I do not know when they established, but I am with them for a year, almost.
I use Wire transfers for my transactions. Wire transfers are secure, and they credit the account the moment funds are received.
But If you can maintain e-Gold transactions, that's a lot easier and almost instant.
Hedging works for me so far, so I do not think even of trading markets unless there is a seriously attractive opportunity.
Hope this helped you a bit.
Thanks for all the info. It does help. If you don't mind i have a few more questions. I don't want to bog down this thread with my own personal research, so if i could PM you, would that be OK?
I'm also very happy with Marketiva.

Citizen Craig: A newspaper editor leaves his mark on Pittsburgh
Since 1786, when John Scull and Joseph Hall founded the first newspaper west of the Allegheny Mountains, many great publishers and editors have brought distinction to what today is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
John G. Craig Jr., who died at his Sewickley Heights home on Wednesday at age 77, deserves to be counted in that historic company. He came to the Post-Gazette in 1976 and served fearlessly and effectively for 26 years as editor.
He was from the classic mold of editors, someone with the strength of character to bring a sense of fresh purpose to his newsroom and by extension to the greater community. Intelligent, passionate about the issues and supremely self-confident, he was at ease in the presence of presidents or paupers.
Although transplanted from Delaware, he was always the friend of the Pittsburgh region, its adopted champion. Many sensible regional improvements over the years bore the imprimatur of John Craig. Some might not have happened without him.
He saw the Regional Asset District and its 1 percent county sales tax as a practical way to fund community assets; he thought new stadiums on the North Shore would anchor Pittsburgh's greatest sports teams and be the city's lasting glory; he saw that the city needed to embrace its rivers and to that end helped found the Riverlife Task Force. Even that hardest of nuts, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, cracked just a little to allow some customer benefits in the face of editorials that wouldn't tolerate politicians and bureaucrats vested in a state-monopoly status quo.
A lot of this agenda, of course, was controversial, but John Craig never thought life was a popularity contest. In doing what he thought right without fear or favor, he made enemies, but that never worried him. He accepted the criticism that naturally came with his job and always supported the right of his critics to have the last word in published letters to the editor.
Like many great men and women, he was not without faults. He was a contrarian; the conventional wisdom was not his wisdom. His way of independent thinking gave rise to great insights and some misjudgments.
But as Post-Gazette Publisher John Robinson Block noted, "He understood that journalists were more important, and more valuable, to a newspaper than were the printing presses. His insight on people approached genius. He was deft in selecting the best reporters and editors, and he fully stood behind his staff."
John Craig's previous life had prepared him well to sit in the editor's chair. He bore the sensibility of schools like Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., and the Fletcher School of International Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Boston, but also the imprint of invaluable life lessons learned in military service in the U.S. Army in West Germany and a newspapering career in Delaware. He was editor there until a matter of principle made him walk away.
When he became editor of the Post-Gazette in the late '70s, he inherited a good newsroom going about its duties, but one that was not particularly challenged to assert its influence in the face of the more widely read Pittsburgh Press.
John Craig would have none of that. Through sheer force of will and personality, he challenged the old and welcomed the new. He restored pride and purpose to reinvigorate the Post-Gazette. At the same time, he was trying to work the same trick with Pittsburgh itself, championing good government in all its forms.
As a taskmaster, he wasn't always an easy character, challenging everyone to do better and to care more -- not only the journalists who worked for him, but also the public officials he held accountable.
When against all odds the Press ceased to exist after a strike in 1992, John Craig helped reinvent the Post-Gazette once more, this time absorbing talented people from the competing newsroom and smoothing the way of a difficult transition. All the time, he never gave up his love affair with Pittsburgh. After retirement, he set up a project to measure the city's progress against comparable statistical benchmarks.
To the last, John Craig, an editor of the old school for whom journalism was not a job but a vocation, was courageous, curious and engaged. He died feeling optimistic for the Post-Gazette and the region it serves. Those of us who labor now in his shadow will try to justify that optimism.

Have any of you mama's recently heard of any new unique baby girl names out there? I hear paisley, Arianna, Elliana...stuff that has been mentioned on here a few times, but anything really new lately (in the past month or so)... any will do! I just want some ideas:) thankx!!!!
Any "new" UNIQUE GIRL NAMES? :)
I agree that a lot of these names are simply awful. As a teacher, I can't stress enough how important it is to choose a name that is easily spelled, easily pronounced, and doesn't give off a bad first impression.
Your name can immediately get your application or résumé tossed into the garbage can. Please read Freakonomics if you don't believe me. I know first hand that my boss has admitted to tossing applications based off of first impressions such as name or what university you went to.
Your child's name will not automatically make them unique. Who they are will make them unique.
^^ Ditto. But people don't seem to care as long as they like the name. Who cares what LO has to deal with, apparently.
Do you want real names or madeup names? There's a difference between unusual Margot/Esmeralda and unusual La'TaiLyLee-annah/Rai-VynnahLeigha. KWIM?
P.S. - Changing the spelling of a super common name does not make it anymore unique. It is still Madison whether it is spelled Mahdysin or Madison.

In her sixth novel, Searching for Caleb (1976), contemporary American author Anne Tyler presents a multigenerational twentieth-century portrait of the Peck family, an ensemble of relatives who make their home in and around the Baltimore, Maryland (USA) area. The primary focus is on Duncan and Justine Peck, first cousins who mature in mid-century and, despite family objections, marry and proceed to live outside of the closely knit family network. The couple walks way from the stability of residence in the staid Roland Park suburb and employment in the Peck family business, opting instead for a more peripatetic lifestyle; at one point, Justine goes so far as to describe her immediate family as "nomads" (171). Along the way, …

Yesterday, I finished "The Library at Mount Char," a great but disturbing horror novel. A Lovecraftian entity that is the secret ruler of the world adopts 12 children and set each of them up as his 'librarians,' in charge of learning a facet of his knowledge. Now in their 30s, their 'father' disappears and they are thrown into a struggle for control of the library.
Carolyn's portfolio is languages, and she's a wry, funny, protagonist. As the plot unfolds and grows more strange, her battle to stay alive comes into conflict with her keeping her essential humanity. The plot is full of twists and surprises, many of which aren't predictable. The plot twists keep coming to the very end.
I liked this book, but it is a very grim horror novel where bad things happen to worse people. It's a deeply original book — it smoothly blends the supernatural horror of Lovecraft & his ilk with more modern horror and urban fantasy, but it may not be to everyone's taste. Really strong effort for a debut novel, kindle edition has two editorial errors in it.

SOLD $11,250.00 May, 2014
This wonderful and quite rare "donut" duck effigy measures 7 inches long, 6.25 inches tall and 6 inches wide at the breast. The "donut" descriptor comes from the interior hole which goes completely through the center of the effigy. The reason for this design element is unknown and subject to much discussion and conjecturer. It should be noted though that very similar designs are found in Mayan pieces excavated in the Mexico and Guatemala areas. The exterior exhibits a classic Chaco "pennant" design and extremely fine line-work; the entire piece is in "as found" condition and has no breakage, restoration or addition of any paint. Such examples are quite rare and generally found only in the most advanced collections.
Additional details are available upon request.
SOLD $8,500.00 May, 2014
This mint Reserve Parrot was excavated on the Tommy Cox ranch in New Mexico in the summer of 1998 along with an animal quadruped which is also listed on this site. The bird measures 6.4 inches long by 7.25 inches tall and 6 inches wide at the breast. This piece was made to function as a canteen as evidenced by the loop near the tail and the loop at the back of the head. The beak of the bird is curled just as would be with a parrot. The piece is excellently potted and the painted design is bold and well done. The eyes protrude and are surrounded with mask-like elements. There is a chip at the top right of the opening which is the only thing keeping this piece from being mint. There is no restoration or addition of paint of any kind.
A close comparison of this parrot to the quadruped will leave no question that both pieces were created and painted by the same person. For that reason it would be desirable to keep the two pieces together.
This wonderful turtle effigy measures 6 inches long, 5.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall and exhibits excellent carving and relief. The stone, which has significant wear all over, is volcanic which is used in both the Hohokam and Mimbres cultures; this example I believe is Mimbres (C. 400 - 1200AD). The detail is quite extraordinary with the protruding head, feet, side lines and the crisscross design of the shell on the back. The piece is in mint condition. A very scarce and desirable item.............. ARTIFACT AUTHENTICATION papers from Ben Stermer will be provided attesting to age and origin. (please see photo 6)
The bowl is intact with to very minor rim cracks, no chips.
EX. Mina Brooks Collection
Spaniard Francisco Vásquez de Coronado became the first known European to lead an expedition into the USA when, in 1540, he with 335 soldiers and about 1100 settlers crossed the Mexican border near the Huachuca Mountains, site of the present day Coronado National Monument. Six months into the march he rode into a cluster of Zuni pueblos, Cibola, near present day Gallup. He attacked the Zuni at Hawikuh, taking over that principle town and its food stores for his famished soldiers. At Cicuye, later called Pecos, 150 miles east the reception was different. The Indians welcomed the Spaniards with music and gifts. A Plains Indian captive at Pecos told of a rich land to the east, Quivira, and Coronado set out in spring 1541 to find it. Wandering as far as Kansas he found only a few villages. His Indian guide confessed he lured the army on to the plains to die, and Coronado had him strangled. The expedition turned back. After a bleak winter along the Rio Grande the broken army went back to Mexico empty handed.
Colonizers and Missionaries
Nearly 60 years now passed before Spaniards came to New Mexico to stay. In 1581 explorers began prospecting for silver in the land of the Pueblos. Their failures foreshadowed a truth that determined much of Spanish New Mexico's history: that province held neither golden cities nor ready riches. But the fact that settlers could farm and herd there focused the joint strategies of Cross and Crown: Pueblo Indians could be converted and their lands colonized. Don Juan de Oñate was first to pursue this mixed objective, in 1598. Taking settlers, livestock, and 10 Franciscans he marched north to claim for Spain the land across the Rio Grande. Right away he assigned a friar to Pecos, richest and most powerful New Mexico pueblo. The new religion got off to a shaky start. After episodes of idol-smashing provoked Indian resentment, the Franciscans sent veteran missionary Fray Andrés Juárez to Pecos in 1621 as healer and builder. Under his direction the Pecos built an adobe church south of the pueblo, the most imposing of New Mexico's mission churches.
War and Re-Conquest Decades of Spanish demands and Indian resentments climaxed in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Indians in scattered pueblos united to drive the Spaniards back to Mexico. At Pecos loyal Indians warned the local priest, but most followed a tribal elder in revolt. They killed the priest, destroyed the church, desecrated symbols of the Catholic Church, and, symbolizing the discontent, built a forbidden kiva in mission's convento itself. One of the most often desecrated symbols were the crosses, both those used in the churches as well as those marking graves. Twelve years later, led by Diego de Vargas, the Spaniards came back to their lost province, peacefully in some places but with the sword in others.
The Katchina Stone Cross
Coronado's group spent the winter of 1540 - 1541 at the Pecos Pueblo very near the town of Pecos New Mexico in the upper Pecos River valley. During this time many of the soldiers and settlers died not being able to withstand the winter. It is documented in the writings from the expedition that those who died were buried in graves each marked with a stone cross. As a result of the revolt in 1680 the Indians desecrated many crosses including those that marked graves. The cross offered here was found in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico east of Santa Fe, the same area Coronado wintered in 1540 and is consistent in form and size with known Conquistador grave markers. It measures 38.1cm tall, 19cm wide and 5.1cm thick and exhibits significant age and mineral deposits on the reverse. As a result of the desecration of the cross, there is a deep inverted triangle inscribed above the cross member forming the face of the Katchina. Attached just below this first triangle is a second inverted, more shallow triangle, which forms the breast of the Katchina. Descending from the second triangle is a vertical inscribed line which extends to the bottom edge. The two horizontal extensions of the cross each exhibit a deep grove which forms the arms of the Katchina. In addition the upper triangle forms the face and has indentations which form the eyes, nose and mouth - these are clearly evident in the photographs. Both triangles have an ancient olive-green paint which was applied most likely to set off the body of the Katchina. Overall the front of the cross has significant "hand patina" which could only have formed over a long, extended time thus attesting to the age of the piece. During all periods excluding the Pueblo Revolt years Catholic icons were held in high esteem and would not have been desecrated or altered in any way by the Indians. This is without question a historically important piece from the now famous time period known as The Pueblo Revolt.

I have been procrastinating posting this because I am both extremely happy and sad that our little shop, Hoard Studios, closed its door on May 30th. We have purchased a home on the west side of the state and will be moving. Our goal is to continue the studio with an online presence. We will try to keep our Facebook, website, and Etsy pages up to date once the move is over. A huge thank you to all of our Dexter patrons and patrons that found us by chance. We have enjoyed our time in this great community. Thank you, It has been a pleasure!

An application of functional analysis in a predator - prey system

In this paper I want to show some advantages of the Geometric Iteration to a possible study of a predator-prey system. The Geometric Iteration presents characteristics such as continuity, derivability and integrability which could allow to analyze when a predator can still reach it is prey even when the prey has an initial advantage.

The Tales of Hoffman, by Jacques Offenbach
'A Tale of Three Women'
E.T.A. Hoffman (author of 'The Nutcracker') recalls his three tragic loves: Olympia the mechanical doll; Guilietta the greedy courtesan; and the genuinely good Antonia, who dies despite being treated by 'Dr. Miracle'. When the drunk Hoffman's current flame Stella appears, he sees her as the embodiment of 'The Three'. And he rejects her!
SF Opera is performing The Tales of Hoffmann from June 5 through July 6. Go see the opera with your newfound knowledge!
"Opera for the People" is a lecture series run by Larry Oppenheim. He is President of the Kensington Symphony Orchestra in the East Bay, where he is co-principal oboe and solo English horn. He also writes the program notes. Larry's goal is to make classical music more enjoyable and accessible to "all the people".

Ultima recensione
" The place is very clean and nicely decorated with pretty rooms and comfortable beds.. Youssef speaks many languages and he is happy to help with any issue you might have. He can also organise a trip by camel to the desert camp. His camp is only with three tents (very comfortable ones, fully acessorised ) which gives an intimate atmosphere to the experience in the dunes. To book you can just email him or organise it during your staying. If we go back to Merzouga, we will definitely stay here "- Anonimo
