- Renting inNEW YORK CITY
Most landlords want to see that your income is more than 40 times the monthly rent. So take your pre-tax, annual income (salary, bonuses, dividends), and divide that by 40. That's the maximum rent you'll be approved for. Some landlords will allow you to combine your income with your roommates' income to hit this 40-times threshold.
Because some landlords have more than enough qualified applicants, many will require tenants to make 50 times the monthly rent. Welcome to New York.
When your income doesn't meet the 40-times requirement, you may have one other option: a guarantor.
If you'll be using an agent, you'll likely need to pay a broker's fee. Remember to budget for that cost, which will be between 8 and 15 percent of a full year's lease. (Assuming a 15 percent fee, if your rent is $2,000 per month – $24,000 per year – you'll owe the agent $3,600. Agents expect payment in full at the time of signing.)

Andrew Garfield of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' tells us what it means to be a hero
One of the things that works for me in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," is the way in which they depict Spidey being idolized by his fans. He is a larger than life superhero and so it makes complete sense that people in the world of the films would love him (heck, people in the real world love him). Talking then with star Andrew Garfield, I wanted to get his take on the idolization and see if it was anything that transferred to him as an actor.
Garfield's answer is that he never feels idolized, that it's always the character and that, "It's right that this character would be idolized… be an icon." He finishes his thought with something that seems terribly wise about the character and what it means to idolize a superhero, "If anything, they're responding to the mask and to the suit, which is good for me because that's the truer thing to respond to."
The answer to that first question goes into much more depth, and Garfield discusses what it means to be a superhero and what sacrifice is involved there. The actor shows a great understanding of who Peter Parker (and Spider-Man) is, and the virtue in his being Spider-Man anonymously. It is something that Garfield, clearly, has thought about in playing the character. "It doesn't matter who's behind the mask, it's about the symbol of good, the symbol of protection and of love."
I also ask in the interview about whether his part in the movie really requires him to play not one, but two people. Garfield answers by saying, in part, that it's who Parker is as an individual that makes Spider-Man a great hero. He also goes on to discuss the metaphor of the character and how, "We are all Peter Parker in terms of being ordinary and struggling with the same things everyone else struggles with, and we are all Spider-Man in the sense that we all have something extraordinary to give to the world."
Whether or not the movie as a whole is great—Drew McWeeny says that "the film does work in fits and starts" in his review—what is great is hearing just how much the actor wearing the mask has considered what it all means. Do be sure to watch the full interview for more answers from Garfield, including one where he discusses whether Parker will ever hang up the suit for good.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" swings into theaters on May 2nd.

Incentives in Corporations: Evidence from the American Whaling Industry
In the 1830s, when whaling was a prosperous American industry, a number of whaling corporations were chartered. All of them were short-lived. This paper analyzes the failure of corporations in American whaling, and argues that the corporate form was unable to create the incentives requisite for success in the industry. Most nineteenth-century whaling ventures were owned by a small number of local investors, and were configured to provide powerful incentives for their managers. The effect of the corporate form on productivity is analyzed using a newly-collected panel dataset of 874 whaling voyages. Many whaling corporations were managed by individuals who had previously (or would subsequently) manage ventures with the usual ownership structure. Using an individual-fixed-effects framework, a strong negative effect of the corporate form on productivity is identified.

Wow, this kid is getting coal now.
Forget the obligatory, boring boyfriend New Year's kiss.
Katy Perry got sprayed with silly string.
When I quit believing in God, my mom said I'd start again when someone I really loved dies.
I feel emotionally exhausted. Not because of my long wait or relatively simple procedure, but because of the raw humanity. The humanity I work so hard to compartmentalize and hide away.
Today, the notion that we must shelter Christmas from the ravages of outside influence spreads intolerance.
Why does sadness sometimes seem to overwhelm joy?
he best thing about the Hall and Oates Jingle Bell Rock video is: Everything. It's the way they bop almost-but-not-quite in time with the music. It's the cheesy special effects. It's the rockin' granny. It's so very tongue-and-cheek, as if Daryll and John created it not for their contemporaries, but for the future.
And remember, it's not your fault if things don't go as planned; be proud of yourself for doing your best.
Send Christmas cards. Nothing makes me feel happier at the end of a long day at work than finding my mailbox stuffed with sweet little cards from my friends and family come holiday-time.

Eclipse in the Clouds
We had partly cloudy conditions for a recent partial solar eclipse, so I thought I was going to miss my chance to get good photos of the event. Was I ever wrong! As the sun, with it's prominent sunspots, passed behind the wavy clouds, I got some great photos.

It's Friday afternoon and thousands of spectators have already started to pour into Budds Creek MX Park at Budds Creed, Maryland, for the 61st edition of the Red Bull Motocross of Nations, which gets underway tomorrow afternoon with qualifying races for all teams.
Tomorrow, 35 teams will compete in three qualifying races (MX1, MX2 and Open), paring the field down to the final 20 teams which will compete for the Chamberlain Trophy on Sunday.
The pits are all set up and riders have been walking the track and checking out the facilities.
The big buzz in the pits is that some of the crates shipped from Italy have been detained in customs in New York because some food goods, including wine and pasta, were shipped in the crates with bikes and parts, causing the hold up. This means that bikes belonging to Italian team members Antonio Cairoli (Yam) and David Phillippaerts (KTM), along with team bikes for Spain's Jonathan Barragan (KTM), and England's Tommy Searle, are stuck in customs.
We have heard that World Champion Cairoli says that he will not ride unless he has his official race bike.

JACKSON — Republican Lucien Smith says he's running for state treasurer because he wants to manage Mississippi's finances to help keep taxes from increasing.
Smith is traveling the state this week to launch his campaign. He's an attorney and certified public funds investment manager.

|Since the birth of Value Analysis (VA), during last century, by L. D. Miles all Value Management (VM) tools aim at increasing the Value of a VA subject, this being defined as the relationship between the satisfaction of needs and the resources used in achieving this satisfaction [1]. VA, which led to VM, was seen, formerly, as a cost reduction tool, even if using a functional approach. Today this is no longer possible and any VM study must take into account the different stakeholders needs and expectations. Technical and economical aspects can no longer be separated from environmental and social ones which means that the three components of Sustainability must be considered. The authors, coming from different backgrounds and experiences, have been developing, testing and implementing a methodology – Sustainable Value – profiting from the synergies between VA and other methodologies and concepts connected with Sustainability, mainly Cleaner Production and Eco-efficiency ones. The main difference towards any ordinary VA application is that through all the VA work plan special attention is paid to the three Sustainability vectors: economical, social and environmental - in the gathering of data, in the characterisation of functions during functional analysis, during creativity and in the evaluation of ideas. This approach has already been tested and implemented in about 20 companies from different areas: metal mechanics, plastic transformation, detergents, automotive components, quarrying and stone processing, etc. The proposal is to present this approach as well as some results and difficulties in its implementation.

The World Superbike men turned their first laps in anger today during the first official qualifying session of the 2010 season at the Phillip Island Circuit in Australia and the Ducatis – as was the case in the final pre-season test held at Phillip Island earlier this week – were the fastest of the fast. The surprise, however, was that it was the privateer Althea Ducati of Carlos Checa (pictured) who ended up on top in the first qualifying session for Sunday's two races.Ducatis ruled the roost, at least on day one, with four of the V-twins in the top five at the end of the session. But none were better than Checa and his Althea Racing 1098R, the Spaniard taking control with about 35 minutes to go in the one-hour session with his best lap of 1:32.155. Checa's session was not flawless, however, as the former Grand Prix star crashed with roughly 11 minutes to go – though he did return to the session on his back-up bike.With six minutes to go, Checa's run at the top spot came under pressure when Ducati Xerox's Michel Fabrizio took a run at the Spaniard only to come up just .007 of a second short.Fabrizio would hold on to second with Alstare Suzuki's Leon Haslam finishing the session third. With 38 minutes to go, Haslam, who led the morning practice session, shot to the top of the time sheets with a 1:32.373, slightly faster than his morning mark. But that lap would go down first to Checa and then to Fabrizio.Checa's teammate Shane Byrne completed what was a near-perfect start to the season by the Althea team with the Brit ending the day as the fourth fastest of the Superbike men.Then came the fourth of the Ducatis in the top five, the Xerox-backed factory bike ridden by last year's World Superbike Championship runner-up Noriyuki Haga. Haga was just a few ticks quicker than Aprilia's Max Biaggi, the Italian ending the day sixth.The first of the Hondas was ridden to seventh by Brit Jonathan Rea with Sylvain Guintoli eighth on the second Alstare Suzuki. Guintoli headed the session in the early going before slipping down the standings.Ducati-mounted Jakub Smrz and Sterilgarda Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow rounded out the top 10 as the Yamahas failed to improve much from the worrisome test the defending World Superbike Champions completed earlier this week. James Toseland was even worse off that Crutchlow as he ended the day 13th on his R1. Crutchlow, in 10th, was still within a second of Checa as the top men were all fairly close on day one.The first of the Kawasakis was ridden to 12th by former MotoGP star Chris Vermeulen while countryman Troy Corser rode the first of the BMWs to 16th. Corser suffered a crash late in the session.The lone American in the series, Roger Lee Hayden (pictured), ended the session in last place, 3.9 seconds off Checa's best in what is his first visit to the Australian circuit. Hayden did show improvement from the morning session and also from this week's test.

Samba Project Considering Purchasing License for Windows Protocols
Now that Microsoft has stated that it is prepared to give competitors access to technical documentation in a case heard by the EU Commission, the Samba project is considering purchasing a license.
The Samba project can afford the asking price, which is estimated at around 10,000 euros, says Samba developer Volker Lendecke. "But we need to investigate the legal implications of this step", said Lendecke at the fringe of the Perspektive Open Source Conference.
The project is in close contact with FSF legal expert Eben Moglen who will be investigating the terms of the license. "The step would be a major boost to Samba as regards implementing an Active Directory server", says Lendecke referring to the advantages of the license. If the project detected a deviation between the specification and the implementation, Microsoft would be required to modify its products or specifications. In both cases the developers at the Open Source project expect improved conformity and interoperability with Windows clients and servers.

The Man in the Iron Mask is a 1998 American action drama film directed, produced, and written by Randall Wallace, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in a dual role as the title character and villain, Jeremy Irons as Aramis, John Malkovich as Athos, Gerard Depardieu as Porthos, and Gabriel Byrne as D'Artagnan.[3] The picture uses characters from Alexandre Dumas' D'Artagnan Romances and is very loosely adapted from some plot elements of The Vicomte de Bragelonne.
The film centers on the aging four Musketeers; Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan during the reign of King Louis XIV and attempts to explain the mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask, using a plot more closely related to the flamboyant 1929 version starring Douglas Fairbanks, The Iron Mask, and the 1939 version directed by James Whale, than the original Dumas book. Like the 1998 version, the two aforementioned adaptations were also released through United Artists.
France is under the reign of a cruel and self-centered version of King Louis XIV (DiCaprio), who spends his time declaring a war against the Dutch, distributing rotten food to the rioting citizens of Paris, and with women attempting to seduce him so that they would become queen of France.
The Three Musketeers have gone their own way at this point: Aramis (Jeremy Irons) is now an aging priest, Porthos (Depardieu) likes to spend his time drinking and hanging around with adoring women half his age and Athos (Malkovich) is retired and lives with his only son, Raoul (Sarsgaard), who is preparing to join the Musketeers. D'Artagnan (Byrne) is the only one who has remained in the Musketeers and is now the highly respected Captain.
D'Artagnan comes by and informs Aramis that the King requests a meeting with him. The King's chief advisor informs Aramis that Louis is having problems with the Jesuits, who have declared Louis' wars are unjust and the source of the public's hunger (due to the agricultural sector being impeded by the heavy tax burden as a result of these wars). Aramis suggests the King speak to the Jesuits' leader but the chief advisor says the identity of the Jesuits' leader is kept secret. Louis privately orders Aramis to kill the secret leader of the Jesuits. Aramis accepts the mission saying, "When I discover the identity of this Jesuit rebel I will kill both him and the man who told me".
It is the day of a huge festival at the palace, to which Raoul is escorting the woman he loves, Christine Bellefort (Judith Godrèche). He has just built up enough courage to propose to Christine with his late mother's ring. At the festival, the two lovers are greeted by D'Artagnan, who congratulates Raoul on being accepted into the Musketeers and wishes him luck. Soon after, King Louis sees Christine and becomes instantly attracted to her and obtains their names from his council of advisors. D'Artagnan tells Louis of his concerns for the King's safety due to the threats from the Jesuits.
Before Raoul can profess his love and propose to her, Louis announces a contest in which all are to participate. He places a diamond necklace on a piglet (which has a horn strapped to its head, resembling a unicorn) and announces that the first one to catch the pig will get the prize. Raoul goes to win the necklace for Christine, but as she goes to watch Louis uses water fountains to lead her towards a secluded area. Louis tries to woo Christine, however, just as he is about to kiss her, a Jesuit assassin tries to kill the King. D'Artagnan, who has been silently keeping watch, sees this and saves Louis and Christine. Raoul then comes up and takes Christine away. Louis then arranges to have Raoul recalled up to serve in the army.
D'Artagnan goes to see Athos to try and warn him of the King's eye on Christine, but before he can, Raoul comes home and gives his father back the engagement ring, stating that "he cannot marry her and make her a widow at the same time." Athos realizes the King's eye has fallen on Christine and angrily tells D'Artagnan that if Raoul is harmed in any way, Louis and any on his side will become his enemy.
Unfortunately, Athos' friendship with D'Artagnan is shattered when Raoul is killed by the cannons on the battlefront. Driven by revenge and anger, Athos attempts to assassinate Louis, but is stopped at the gate by the guards. He manages to wound a few before D'Artagnan and the other Musketeers are able to stop him. D'Artagnan orders them to let Athos go home, but Athos still refers to D'Artagnan as a traitor.
After hearing what happened, Aramis calls a secret meeting with Athos, Porthos, and D'Artagnan in an underground tomb. Aramis reveals Louis' order to kill the Jesuit leader, who is revealed to be Aramis himself. Aramis proposes a plot to overthrow Louis and asks his friends for their help. Athos and Porthos agree to help but D'Artagnan refuses saying he cannot violate his oath and betray the King he has sworn to protect and defend with his life. Aramis privately tells D'Artagnan he knows he carries a secret that is hurting him deeply. Aramis, Athos, and Porthos successfully free a mysterious young man in an iron mask from the Bastille.
They take the man, Philippe, to a country house, where he recalls that he grew up in the country until one day a man in black imprisoned him in the Bastille and placed in the mask. Aramis reveals Philippe is the identical twin of Louis; on the night the twins were born, their father had Aramis take the younger baby away, because the king had known too much bloodshed among feuding royal heirs. Their mother, Queen Anne (Anne Parillaud), was told the younger son had died at birth. Later, when the King was on his death bed, he told Queen Anne and Louis of Philippe's existence. Louis, fearing that Philippe would try to take the throne, had Aramis lock Philippe in the iron mask. Although he looks the same as his cold-hearted brother, Philippe is kind, and he accepts the truth behind his past in addition to forgiving Aramis for locking him in the mask that imprisoned him for six years.
Meanwhile, Louis succeeds in seducing Christine (Louis tells her that he ordered Raoul to a place far away from the battlefront, but that his orders were disobeyed by the general), and they eventually make love, but Christine later reveals that she was pretending to love him in order to get Louis' help for her mother and sister, who have pneumonia.
Athos, Porthos and Aramis teach Philippe how to act like Louis so as to replace Louis with Philippe, and they attempt to abduct Louis and take him to the Bastille during a masked ball, replacing him with Philippe and putting him in Philippe's cell in the Bastille. They succeed at first, but Philippe's good manners give it away a bit, especially after he helps a fallen woman to her feet and spares Christine's life after she publicly calls him a lying murderer after having found out the truth about Raoul's death. D'Artagnan asks Philippe to escort him to the dungeons, and Philippe can't refuse. They arrive at the dungeons just as Athos, Porthos and Aramis are about to sail to the Bastille. They make a trade for the brothers' lives, but during their escape, Philippe is recaptured.
D'Artagnan brings Philippe to Louis, who reveals he had known of his brother's existence and believed he had died in the Bastille. Their mother and D'Artagnan beg for Philippe's life to be spared. However, Philippe begs to be killed instead of being sent back to prison. Louis orders D'Artagnan to hunt down Aramis, Athos, and Porthos, and bring him their heads or Louis would have D'Artagnan's head for "taking the side of traitors,". D'Artagnan chastises Louis for his actions against his brother Philippe and expresses his disappoint in the kind of king Louis has become. Louis orders Philippe to return to prison, where he will wear the mask "until he loves it and dies in it." That night, Christine hangs herself outside Louis' bedroom and leaves a note for her family.
D'Artagnan sends a message to Athos, Porthos, and Aramis that he will provide them with a 10-minute window to save Philippe. Thinking that it is a trap, they wear their old Musketeer uniforms to enter the prison. Louis has D'Artagnan watched and knows that they are trying to rescue Philippe. He arrives with Lt Andre (Edward Atterton) and the elite guard unit to trap Athos, Porthos, Aramis, D'Artagnan, and Philippe in the prison. Louis offers to let D'Artagnan retire in peace if he lays down his sword and gives up the rest of the group. D'Artagnan refuses to give up Philippe and reveals that he is the real father of Philippe and Louis and his love affair with Queen Anne. The five then charge the other guard musketeers, who are ordered by Louis to shoot but they all deliberately miss and lay down their swords.
As Lt Andre and the other musketeers show their respects, Louis becomes angry, grabs a dagger, and attempts to stab Philippe but D'Artagnan jumps in the way and is fatally stabbed instead. Athos begs D'Artagnan to forgive him, realizing that D'Artagnan's loyalty to Louis was out of fatherly devotion to his son. Before dying, D'Artagnan reveals to the musketeers that the two are brothers. Lt Andre swears his men to silence and orders them out of the room and collaborates with the group to switch kings. After the switch, the remaining guards enter the room and Louis, now in prisoner clothes, is ordered by Philippe, now dressed as the king, to be put "where no one can hear his insanity" but is to be fed well by a deaf mute until "he finds redemption in wearing the pains he has placed on others". Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are named the Royal Council.
At D'Artagnan's grave Philippe asks Athos to be his father-figure. It is later revealed that Philippe becomes a good king known as Louis XIV and later pardons his brother Louis to live quietly in the country and is visited often by the queen.

In this version, the "man in the iron mask" is introduced as prisoner number 64389000 based on the number related to his namesake found at the Bastille. Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is the stand in for all the scenes that are supposed to be Versailles, although in the book, the switch between Louis and Philippe happens at Vaux-le-Vicomte. Vaux-le-Vicomte, the prototype for Versailles, was built for the real finance minister of Louis XlV, Nicolas Fouquet.
In some versions, the switch takes place at a real and actual event the "fête de Vaux" (17 August 1661), a famous party for the unveiling of the new château. Attended by Louis XlV, at which the king's own palace was seen to be inferior to the new château of his non-royal finance minister. The famous fête led to the downfall of Fouquet and the building of Versailles.
Differences between versions[edit]
The novel and the filmed versions of the tale have some differences in how they portray the royal twins and the plot to switch them.
In Dumas's The Vicomte de Bragelonne, although the plot to replace King Louis XIV with his twin brother is foiled, the twin is initially depicted as a much more sympathetic character than the King. However, in the last part of the novel, the King is portrayed as an intelligent, more mature and slightly misunderstood man who in fact deserves the throne - and the Musketeers themselves are split, Aramis (with assistance from Porthos) siding with the prisoner, D'Artagnan with King Louis, and Athos retired from politics entirely. In the 1929 silent version, The Iron Mask starring Douglas Fairbanks as D'Artagnan, the King is depicted favorably and the twin brother as a pawn in an evil plot whose thwarting by D'Artagnan and his companions seems more appropriate.
In the 1998 film, the King is depicted negatively while his twin brother is sympathetically portrayed. D'Artagnan's loyalties are torn between his King and his three Musketeer friends. He is also revealed as the father of the twins, as well as being dedicated to the interests of France.
Historical inaccuracies[edit]
Historical persons and events depicted in the film are heavily fictionalized, as declared in an opening narration.
- A portrait of Louis XV can be seen in Louis XIV's apartments: the film takes place about half a century before the birth of Louis XIV's great-grandson and successor.
- D'Artagnan's death is inconsistent with biographic fact: the real d'Artagnan died in battle at the siege of Maastricht, more than ten years later.
- Louis XIV had a real-life brother, Philippe d'Orléans, who is not depicted in the film and was not the King's twin.
- Set in 1662, the film portrays the king as unmarried; by then he had been married for some two years to Infanta María Teresa of Spain
- Notwithstanding the peace and prosperity alluded to at the film's conclusion, Louis XIV spent most of the remainder of his reign at war.
Critical reception[edit]
Despite receiving a rather mixed to negative critical response, it was successful financially, benefiting greatly from Leonardo DiCaprio's post-Titanic boost in popularity. The film currently holds a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 36 reviews. It holds a 48% rating on Metacritic, based on 18 reviews.
DiCaprio won a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screen Couple for his interactions as twins in the film.
