Pat Cash has claimed that some women players at Wimbledon 2014 have been forced to play without underwear due to a "ridiculous" clampdown on the rule that outfits must be entirely white.
The former Wimbledon champion said that some competitors didn't have any sports bras deemed suitable by the tournament and instead had to go without them.
The clampdown comes after some players, including Serena Williams, tried to inject colour into their outfits in previous years by wearing bright underwear.
"Some of the girls have been told to go back and change their bras and tops because they had slight colour on them," Cash told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I believe some of the girls didn't have suitable sports bras and had to go without them. It has absolutely gone ridiculous."
Wimbledon officials imposed new guidelines this year asking that coloured trim on outfits be no wider than 1cm.
In a letter sent to players, tournament referee Andrew Jarrett, also wrote: "Undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white and contain no more than 1cm of coloured trim."
Cash, who was due to play in the master's competition, has pulled out of the tournament in protest to the new rules after his own training shoes did not meet them.
He said that the last time he played without the specially adapted shoes he suffered an injury.
"It's archaic thinking," he added.
"One of the players was called into the referees' office because he had blue underwear that showed through when he got sweaty so he was told not to wear dark underwear."
Venus Williams defended the rule change however, saying that all-white is a nice novelty and that everyone "glows" in the colour.
"I think it's a nice change," she said. "I think everyone just kind of glows in white. Obviously not all year, because anything every day is boring. But during these two weeks, it's nice."

Note: Most reported marsupial hybrids are products of macropodid crosses.
Bettongia gaimardi [Tasmanian Bettong]
× Bettongia penicillata [Brush-tailed Bettong] CHR. DRS. London Zoo had three hybrids in 1874 and 1875. In this cross Bettongia penicillata was originally reported as "Hypsiprymnus ogilbyi," but ogilbyi is now treated as a subspecies of B. penicillata. Flower 1929a (p. 362); Sclater 1863; Zuckermann 1953.

Dendrolagus dorianus [Doria's Tree Kangaroo]
× Dendrolagus notatus [Ifola Tree Kangaroo] ENHI. CON: highlands of eastern New Guinea. The IUCN (Internet Citations: NOTAT) states that the forms dorianus and notatus were until recently treated as conspecific and are in parapatric contact (along a line running north-northeast from the vicinity of Kwletta to the coast near Lae). Presumably, then, these very similar animals hybridize throughout the area where they come into contact.
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus goodfellowi |
Dendrolagus goodfellowi [Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo]
× Dendrolagus matschiei [Huon Tree Kangaroo] CHR. The Cleveland Zoo (Ohio, USA) had a hybrid (Internet Citations: GOODF). These highland forms are separated by the Ramu River valley, but may come into contact there.
Dendrolagus inustus [Grizzled Tree Kangaroo]
× Dendrolagus ursinus [Vogelkop Tree Kangaroo] CHR. CON: northwestern New Guinea. A male hybrid was born at Philadelphia Zoo (Pennsylvania, USA) on December 23, 1935. It was transferred to the National Zoo (Washington, D.C., USA) on December 1, 1936, and died there on July 13, 1943 at an age of 7 years, 6 months. Its skin and skull are now in the Smithsonian Institute (USNM 271183). Flannery et al. 1996; Mann 1938; Weigl 2005.

Dorcopsis luctuosa [Grey Dorcopsis]
× Thylogale browni [New Guinea Pademelon] ENHI. Thomas (1888, p. 92) says Dorcopsulus macleayi (Macleay's Dorcopsis) "is in many ways intermediate between Dorcopsis and Macropus, so that it seems just possible that the type specimen may be a hybrid between D. luctuosa and Macropus [i.e., Thylogale] browni, both of which occur in Southern New Guinea. Pending, however, the arrival of further material bearing on this suggestion, I provisionally retain D. macleayi as a somewhat doubtful species of the genus to which its describer referred it." In fact, D. luctuosa and T. browni are nearly in parapatric contact in Papua New Guinea, with D. macleayi occurring between them so that its range appears to be configured almost as one would expect if it were a hybrid population derived from hybridization between luctuosa and browni (especially if one allows for the vagaries of mapping the distributions of animals living in such a remote locale). This morphological and geographic intermediacy on the part of D. macleayi suggest it as a PHP of this cross. Wikipedia describes Oldfield Thomas (1858-1929) as a British zoologist who "worked at the Natural History Museum on mammals, describing about 2,000 new species and subspecies for the first time," which is rather remarkable given that there are only about 4,000 mammalian species recognized.
Dorcopsulus macleayi [Macleay's Dorcopsis] See: Dorcopsis luctuosa × Thylogale browni.
Macropus sp.
× Canis familiaris [Dog] On page 2 of the March 19, 1892, issue of Logan Witness, a newspaper published in Beenleigh, Queensland, Australia (source) there appears an account of a freak show which describes one of the creatures on display as "an animal that may be truly termed half a dog, half kangaroo, the legs and feet being moulded in true marsupial style, while the head and jaw are canine." However, the notion that such a distant cross might actually occur seems not to have been confirmed elsewhere.
Macropus agilis [Agile Wallaby]
× Megaleia rufa (♀) [Red Kangaroo] CHR. CON: northern Australia. LFH. Hybrids of both sexes reported. Johnson 1985; Martin and Kirkpatrick 1971.
× Macropus rufogriseus (♀) [Red-necked Wallaby] CHR. CON: coastal northeastern Australia, near Rockhampton. HPF(♀♀). Lowry et al. 1995; Smith et al. 1979; Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.
× Wallabia bicolor (♂) [Swamp Wallaby] CHR. CON: northeastern Australia (Cape York Peninsula). London Zoo had 5 hybrids in 1968. Zool. Society of London Ann. Rep., 1968, p. 43 (as "Protemnodon bicolor × P. agilis"); International Zoo Yearbook 1968 (p. 289), 1970 (p. 250), 1971 (p. 260).
Note: Macropus dorsalis is probably extinct in the wild.
Macropus dorsalis [Black-striped Wallaby]
× Macropus eugenii (♂) [Tammar Wallaby]CHR. McKenzie and Cooper 1995; Smith et al. 1979; Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.
× Macropus parma[Parma Wallaby] CHR. HPF(♂&♀). CON: eastern Australia, south of Brisbane. Sharman 1974 (p. 151).
Macropus eugenii [Tammar Wallaby]
See also: Macropus dorsalis.
× Macropus parma(♂) [Parma Wallaby] CHR. CON: Kawau Island (New Zealand). LFH. Close and Lowry 1990; Taylor et al. 1999.
× Wallabia bicolor [Swamp Wallaby] CHR. DRS. Waugh-O'Neill et al. report a massive amplification of retrotransposons in a hybrid individual of this type. Reinsertion of amplified elements was limited to the centromeric regions of Tammar-Wallaby-derived chromosomes in the hybrid genome. They also detected very low levels of methylation throughout the hybrids genome in comparison with levels in genomes of either parent. Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.
Macropus fuliginosus [Western Grey Kangaroo]
× Macropus giganteus (♀) [Eastern Grey Kangaroo] CAENHR. HPF(♀♀). CON: southeastern Australia. Common in captivity. Hybrids of both sexes are known. In almost every case, F₁ females preferred to mate with Western males. A backcross to Eastern lacked eyes and was a unilateral cryptorchid male. A male produced from a second backcross to M. fuliginosus was partially fertile. In hybrids, the mean length of the estrus cycle and gestation period (37.6 and 34.1 days, respectively) are intermediate between those of the parents (fuliginosus: 34.9 and 30.6; giganteus: 45.6 and 36.4). Length of gestation in backcrosses to fuliginosus was 31.6 days. Poole and Catling 1975 (p. 349) say mixed mobs occur in all areas where these kangaroos are in contact. Calaby and Poole 1971; Cooper et al. 1971; Coulson and Coulson (2001) reported natural hybrids in Willandra National Park, western New South Wales (33˚13´S, 145˚07´E). Using molecular markers, Neaves et al. (2010) documented extensive hybridization with backcrossing. International Zoo Yearbook 1987 (p. 398), 1988 (p. 447), 1990 (p. 423); Kirsch and Poole 1967, 1972; Neaves et al. 2010; Poole 1969, 1970; Poole and Catling 1974, 1975.
× Megaleia rufa (♀) [Red Kangaroo] CHR. CON: southern Australia. LFH. Hybrids of both sexes reported. Calaby and Poole 1971; Poole 1970; Poole and Catling 1975 (p. 349); Richardson et al. 1971.

× Macropus robustus (♂) [Common Wallaroo | Euro] CHR(Ireland). CON: eastern Australia The Dublin Zoo had a hybrid in 1899. Anonymous 1900 (pp. 36, 52).
× Megaleia rufa (↔ usu. ♀) [Red Kangaroo] CHR. CON: eastern Australia. LFH. Hybrids of both sexes reported. In an old report Baron Rothschild (1898) comments that he had kept a wide variety of kangaroos at his facility, but that none of these "would live well in a free state, and of all of them I only had in 1895 one female Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus, left at liberty. This animal paired with a male 'Boomer' (Macropus giganteus), and produced, at the beginning of 1897, a female hybrid which, strange to say, was exactly like the mother and showed no trace of the father. At the time, knowing the many freaks which appear in hybrids, I took little notice of this creature, but this year (i.e., end of 1897) the same female Red Kangaroo produced a male hybrid from a Boomer which is of the most brilliant red colour, much brighter than any pure-bred Red Kangaroo I have seen, and also shows no trace of the male parent in its appearance. It seems therefore that in this case the female has more influence on the progeny than the male." Calaby and Poole 1971; Poole 1970; Poole and Catling 1975 (p. 349); Richardson et al. 1971; Rothschild (1898).

Note: The Euro and Wallaroo were once treated as separate species (Macropus erubescens Sclater 1870 and M. robustus Gould 1841, respectively), but have long been treated as conspecific. Although female erubescens × robustus hybrids are about as fertile as parental females, male hybrids are sometimes sterile, or at least of very low fertility. Cooper et al. 1971; Johnston and Robinson 1986; Johnston et al. 1976; Poole and Merchant 1987; Sharman 1974 (p. 151).

× Megaleia rufa (↔ usu. ♀) [Red Kangaroo] CANHR. CON: Australia. LFH. Hybrids of both sexes have been reported. Schwarz (1931c) thought a specimen that Rothschild described as a species was this hybrid (Macropus magnus Rothschild, 1905; Macropus hagenbecki Rothschild, 1907). Cooper et al. 1971; Iredale and Troughton 1934 (p. 53); International Zoo Yearbook 1978 (p. 368), 1979 (p. 346); Richardson et al. 1971; Schwarz 1931c; Sharman and Johnson 1974; Smith et al. 1979.

× Thylogale thetis (♀) [Red-necked Pademelon] CHR. CON: Australia (eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales). Frankfurt Zoo had a hybrid in the 1860s. Ackermann (1898, p. 38) says the mature animal resembled its mother in color and size. The cross was with M. r. bennetti. Niemeyer 1868 (p. 69).
× Wallabia bicolor (♂) [Swamp Wallaby] CHR. CON: eastern Australia. In a hybrid, the number of Y chromosomes was not constant from one lymphocyte to another (the number observed varied from 0 to 8). W. bicolor has an unusual multiple sex chromosome system (XX females, XY₁Y₂ males). Sharp and Hayman 1981; Smith et. al 1979; Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.

Megaleia rufa [Red Kangaroo] See: Macropus agilis; M. fuliginosus; M. giganteus; M. robustus.
Note: In northeastern Australia rock-wallaby populations (Petrogale) differing in karyotype form a series of hybrid zones. The degree of sterility in hybrids is generally greater when the number of chromosomal structural differences between the parental types is larger. Bee and Close 1993; Briscoe et al. 1982; Sharman et al. 1990.
Petrogale assimilis [Allied Rock Wallaby]
× Petrogale inornata (↔) [Unadorned Rock Wallaby] CAONHR(coastal northeastern Australia). HPF. The wallabies differ in karyotype. The contact zone between chromosomal types lies along the Burdekin and Bowen river valleys. Male hybrids are sterile (or at least of very low fertility). Bee and Close 1993; Close and Bell 1997; Close et al. 1996; Sharman et al. 1990; Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.
× Petrogale mareeba (↔) [Mareeba Rock Wallaby] CHR. Parapatric contact zone northeastern Queensland (just north of Townsville). HPF(♀♀). Close and Bell report a three-way hybrid with P. penicillata. Sharman et al. 1990; Close and Bell 1997; Close et al. 1996.
× Petrogale sharmani (♂) [Sharman's Rock Wallaby] CANHR. Bee and Close (p. 31) say a male hybrid had many abnormal spermatozoa. Parapatric contact zone extends northwest from Townsville (northeastern Queensland). Until recently P. sharmani was known as the "Mt. Claro race" of P. assimilis. Bee and Close (1993); Close et al. 1996; Eldridge et al. 1988; Sharman et al. 1990.
Petrogale coenensis [Cape York Rock Wallaby]
× Petrogale godmani [Godman's Rock Wallaby] Bee and Close (1993, p. 33) say that these wallabies seem to be isolated by distance, but that there is some evidence for hybridization (on the basis of mtDNA haplotypes).
Petrogale godmani [Godman's Rock Wallaby]
See also Petrogale coenensis.
× Petrogale mareeba (♂) [Mareeba Rock Wallaby] ENHR(ne Australia). HPF(♀♀). Male hybrids have minute, aspermatic testes. Parents differ in karyotype. Structural heterozygotes are present in the zone (southeastern York Peninsula, along the Mitchell River), but not elsewhere. Bee and Close 1993; Briscoe et al. 1982; Close and Bell 1997; Close et al. 1996; Eldridge 1991; Sharman et al. 1990; Waugh-O'Neill et al. 1998.

Petrogale herberti [Herbert's Rock Wallaby]
× Petrogale inornata [Unadorned Rock Wallaby] Parapatric contact zone in coastal northeastern Australia (extending inland from Rockhampton). No hybrids as yet reported (these two closely related types are separated by the Fitzroy River). Bee and Close 1993; Close et al. 1996; Eldridge et al. 1990.
× Petrogale penicillata (↔) [Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby] HPF(♂&♀). CAENHR(coastal e Australia, northeastern of Brisbane, headwaters of Brisbane River). A stable hybrid zone exists in southeastern Queensland. Structural heterozygotes are present in the zone, but not elsewhere. Parents differ in karyotype. Despite bridge and fragment formation in hybrids during meiosis, mature spermatozoa were produced. Bee and Close 1993; Close and Bell 1997; Sharman et al. 1990.

Petrogale lateralis [Black-fronted Rock Wallaby]
× Petrogale purpureicollis (♀) [Purple-necked Rock Wallaby] CHR. HPF(♀♀). DRS. Eldridge et al. found that while meiosis was severely disrupted in 73% (8 out of 11) germ cells collected from two female hybrids, the remaining eggs showed normal pairing between homologous chromosomes. Meiotic abnormalities included "major pairing difficulties and irregularities, including regions of asynapsis, hairpin synapsis, tangled asynapsis and the formation of chains of multiple axes."

Capilano River Regional Park
Capilano River Regional Park is located in the District of North Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. It is one of twenty-one regional parks operated by the Metro Vancouver. The park encompasses most of the upstream areas of the Capilano River below the Cleveland Dam. The area north of the dam surrounding Capilano Lake is closed to the public as it is a GVRD watershed. The privately operated Capilano Suspension Bridge crosses the river, but it is not within park boundaries and does not access the park.
Capilano River Regional Park is most commonly associated with the Cleveland Dam. Admission to the dam is free, and one can walk across the dam and observe the river and the spillway. Formed above the dam, Capilano Lake stores the river's waters, stretching north for more than five kilometres. The lake is one of three major watersheds in the GVRD, and it currently supplies forty percent of the region's drinking water. Water treatment facilities are located adjacent to the dam, and a tunneling project scheduled for completion in 2008 will connect the reservoir to a new treatment plant at the Seymour Dam to the east.
There is also a fish hatchery in the park, about 500 metres downhill from the Cleveland Dam. The hatchery offers educational displays explaining the type of work that is done there, as well as basic education about the life cycles of the fish in the area. There is also a cross-section display of an active fish ladder. During spawning seasons, the fish ladder is heavily used by fish in the area that use it to bypass the dam.
The rugged waters of the Capilano River within the park also attracts kayakers and canoers. There are also a number of nature and biking trails in the park, and it is frequently used as a location for film and television production most notably MacGyver, Smallville, and Tin Man.
Street access is by way of Capilano Road in the District of North Vancouver. There are parking lots at the Cleveland Dam, near the top of Capilano Road, and at the fish hatchery along Capilano Park Road. TransLink bus routes 232 (from Phibbs Exchange), 236 (from Lonsdale Quay), and 246 (from downtown Vancouver or Park Royal in West Vancouver) stop near park and trail entrances. Hikers can access the park from several different trails in West Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver.

What do you think it is, abstractly, that makes this period so absorbing?
Here, however, one must follow closely what is said, not merely what is abstractly meant.
The study of rent puts this abstractly, but in a clear light.
For that matter it is difficult for the majority of persons to even think of a number, abstractly.
abstractly, it is said that virtue is its own reward—and it is.
Many of them already declare these ideas to be abstractly just.
Meditation, abstractly considered, is neither a virtue nor a vice.
abstractly it is no more important than the other odd thousand we work with.
abstractly, and from the standpoint of conscience, he abhorred slavery.
The highest form of character, however, abstractly considered, must be full of scruples and inhibitions.
late 14c., originally in grammar (of nouns), from Latin abstractus "drawn away," past participle of abstrahere "to drag away; detach divert," from ab(s)- "away" (see ab-) + trahere "draw" (see tract (n.1)).
Meaning "withdrawn or separated from material objects or practical matters" is from mid-15c. That of "difficult to understand, abstruse" is from c.1400. Specifically in reference to modern art, it dates from 1914; abstract expressionism as an American-based uninhibited approach to art exemplified by Jackson Pollack is from 1952, but the term itself had been used in the 1920s of Kandinsky and others.
Oswald Herzog, in an article on "Der Abstrakte Expressionismus" (Sturm, heft 50, 1919) gives us a statement which with equal felicity may be applied to the artistic attitude of the Dadaists. "Abstract Expressionism is perfect Expressionism," he writes. "It is pure creation. It casts spiritual processes into a corporeal mould. It does not borrow objects from the real world; it creates its own objects .... The abstract reveals the will of the artist; it becomes expression. ..." [William A. Drake, "The Life and Deeds of Dada," 1922]
"abridgement or summary of a document," mid-15c., from abstract (adj.). The general sense of "a smaller quantity containing the virtue or power of a greater" [Johnson] is recorded from 1560s.
1540s, from Latin abstractus or else from the adjective abstract. Related: Abstracted; abstracting, abstractedly.
abstract ab·stract (āb-strākt', āb'strākt')
Considered apart from concrete existence.
Not applied or practical; theoretical.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - My father managed a branch of a steel pipe making company in Pennsylvania. I was about ten or 11 the first time he took me on a tour of his company. Seeing the molten steel being poured from the furnaces looked very impressive to me as a young boy. In those days, steel pipe was created on assembly lines. As we walked along the conveyor belt, my father stopped at each station to have a few words with his workers who all looked very happy to see him. They had a break from the boredom of an assembly line. I couldn't help watching one of the workers cap pieces of steel pipe one after the other. I asked my father if that was all the man did, over and over, during his entire eight-hour shift. That was the man's job, and I couldn't imagine how anyone could repeat the process of screwing a cap on piece after piece of steel pipe for eight hours and not end up in a loony bin. There I stood, wondering how anyone could repeat, like a prisoner in a chain gang, the same procedure, hour after hour, day after day, from however young he was until he reached retirement age and wouldn't know what to do with himself until his life's boredom ended. Sometime after that experience, I swore that I would never subject myself to a life like that if there was any way to avoid it. Something in the field of communication would do just fine, I thought to myself. So I studied speech and writing and literature and prepared myself to teach. I'd at least have the benefit of challenges to the brain and the continuous learning that teaching offers. A decade ago, I turned to writing primarily about political events. Again, after 400 plus published articles, I'm going over and over the same political problems. Unlike the man capping steel pipe day after day, my work as a writer offered the chance to discover new ways of looking at the world's problems if not dealing with them. As those concerned with the fate of the Palestinians, we keep writing about their mistreatment by the Israelis. We screw a cap on each repeated apartheid pipe or illegal West Bank settlement and repeat ourselves again and again. Nothing happens. We feel the boredom of repetition. Netanyahu and the coterie of power ruling Israel continue to preach imagined dangers of Middle Eastern countries to Israel. The cap on the pipe repeated "bomb Iraq" until Iraq was occupied in an undeclared war. When the assembly line in Iraq finished with a pipeline full of falsehoods, the line filled with "bomb Iran" as the repeated cap. False as it is, America keeps screwing it on. Ray McGovern made it clear that "due scepticism seems warranted, given Netanyahu's unenviable record of dire predictions with respect to how soon Iran could get the bomb. If Netanyahu had been right initially, the Iranians would have had a nuclear weapon in the 1990s." Yet we listen. The propaganda spewed by Netanyahu and company echoes the same false warnings that the neocon blusterers spread in attempts to justify attacking and occupying Iraq. We will know that the ludicrous deceit has reached its peak when, as happened with Iraq, the Israel lobby begins to call for Iran to prove that they don't have what they say they don't have. The calls by Americans for regime changes represent the most outrageous interference in other country's concerns and none of our business. But we keep screwing the same caps on the same pipes. ___________________________________

Turkey Demi Glaze
Stock is one of the most important and valued product in the professional kitchen as it is the basis for all soups, sauces, gravies and stews. Much care is taken when preparing a superior stock which can actually take up to two days for large volumes.
Water, turkey stock, turkey fat, salt, tapioca starch, gelatin, turkey flavor, carrot stock, celery stock, onion stock and spices. This product is gluten-free.
By roasting meat bones, combining them with Mirepoix, (carrots, celery and onions), herbs, and water and simmering for a number of hours, the full flavor of the bones is drawn out. The water is then strained and reduced even more for a rich, favorable stock. These 'More Than Gourmet' glazes follow this exact procedure and then are reduced down even further until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. When cooled, they form into gelatinous little pucks of concentrated flavor.


text: Automakers Really, Really Want You To Bring Your Car In For A RecallMichael Ballaban3/09/16 12:15pmFiled to: RecallsHondaTakata993EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink There is a very small chance your car could kill you, if you don't take it in for a recall repair. Knowing this – and also knowing that they're getting shit for customers not getting repairs – automakers are going to huge and strange lengths to get you to pay attention. Including hiring private detectives to track you down. Advertisement One of the biggest recalls in history, the Takata airbag recall, is particularly confounding when it comes to getting people to repair their cars, if for nothing else but the sheer scale of the issue. Nearly 50 million air bag inflators may need to be fixed to prevent shrapnel from flying in the event of an accident, and that's a hell of a lot. In fact, it may be impossible for every car to ever be fixed. So automakers are going big in getting the word out, according to Automotive News: Advertisement Automakers, facing stiff fines for lackluster recall completion rates, are going to new lengths to reach owners of the millions of cars with known safety defects that remain on the road. Honda has even hired private detectives to track down owners of older vehicles. In addition to mailing the standard notification letters, General Motors has advertised recalls on Yahoo, YouTube and Pandora. It's a little unclear as to what exactly Honda's gumshoes are doing. Are they like the guy from The Big Lebowski, just following older cars around? When they track down the owners, do they just knock on the door, tell them all about the shrapnel lurking in their steering wheel, then run away?What happens?????? Sponsored (We've emailed Honda to find out what happens.)In the meantime, theories about the use of private detectives, and suppositions about what you think would be the most attention-grabbing method of getting you to bring your recalled car in for a repair, go in the comments below.

Amazon is taking aim at its main digital music competitor, Apple, as the online retailer announced on Thursday that it is launching an MP3 store optimized for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The store has a catalog of over 22 million songs and allows users to purchase songs for the Apple devices and listen to them via the Amazon Cloud Player. This move is the latest attempt by Amazon to further chip away at the dominance of Apple's iTunes Music Store.
"Since the launch of the Amazon Cloud Player app for iPhone and iPod touch, a top request from customers has been the ability to buy music from Amazon right from their devices. For the first time ever, iOS users have a way do that - now they can access Amazon's huge catalog of music, features like personalized recommendations, deals like albums for $5, songs for $0.69, and they can buy their music once and use it everywhere," said Steve Boom, VP of Amazon Music.

Because sometimes things flow easier than others,...I sat down the other night to try and thumbnail a few more concepts for some more RGB Halloween illustrations, (because there's no better way to celebrate the greatest season of the year than by drawing all sorts of Halloweeny stuff), and as sometimes happens,....a new Janine illustration literally dropped out of the stylus.
Now might be a good time to mention that odd phenomenon that occurs with all artists on a pretty regular basis and that phenomenon is occasionally,....you draw something as easily as you always dreamed you could and it comes about as easily as you think it does for all the other artists you admire.
When that happens, you simply ride that wave out and when you finish you whisper very quietly to no one in particular, (or perhaps God or the Universe), "Holy crap, how did I do that?"
This Janine illo' was like that.
It's not easy for me as an artist to admit that I struggle but I really I do. I'm a huge fan of pinup art. Bloggers like Shane Glines, Bruce Timm and the like revolutionized design, form and color. I could stare at their stuff all day and still think, "I'll never be able to do that!"
As much as I love it, it doesn't come easily or naturally to me. I was trained on Mice, cats, rabbits, anything Tex Avery as well as a pretty hefty diet of Anime back in the day.
But this is what this blog is about. The eternal struggle for artistic growth,.....demonstrated here, for all to see, warts and all. Because failing in front of people is scary,....but I think that kind of fear provides a motivated push to let go and just do it.
Or maybe it's just a thinly veiled excuse to do a hot drawing of Janine Melnitz in a sexy witch costume for Halloween!
More to come!

The first graph shows the metro-wide vacancy rate:
We can see that the vacancy rates in recent quarters now rival the very low vacancy rates that were experienced during the late 1990s and very early 2000s before the recession of 2002 struck Colorado after the dot-com bust. The vacancy rate was 4.4 percent during the third quarter of 2013, and it was 4.2 percent during the second quarter. The rate had peaked at 9 percent during the second quarter of 2009, for the 2007-2009 recession. The lowest rate reached over the past 20 years was 3.7 percent in 2000.
The vacancy rates in general were near ten year lows across the metro area. In the second graph, we see that the decline in the vacancy rates since 2009 have not been limited to any one or two county areas, and that the declines have been general.
The average rent for metro Denver can be seen in the third graph. The average rent hit $1,048 during the third quarter, and was up from $1,022 during the second quarter.
The fourth graph shows the growth rates in average rent more clearly. We can see that year-over-year growth rates since the first quarter of 2012 have been coming in at more than 4 percent each quarter. Historically, this is a strong growth rate, but we can also see that it's still well below what was reported during the dot-com boom, when growth rates were often above six percent. Nevertheless, the growth over the past seven quarters has been substantial.
All of the rent levels we've discussed so far in this article have been nominal rates and not adjusted for inflation. In the final graph, I adjust the average rent for inflation, using a base year of 1995. In this case, we can see that real rents are really only now back to what they were during the dot-com boom. Real rents declined from the dot-com bust until 2009 or so when they began to consistently grow again in real terms.
In real terms, the average rent peaked at $698 during the third quarter of 2001, and for all practical purposes, the real rent is back to its 2001 levels, having reached $682 during the third quarter of this year. (These are 1995 dollars.)

THE new venue for Dubai's international air show, which opened on November 17th, is yet another testament to the ambitions of the tiny Gulf state. Al Maktoum airport, when fully operational in 2027, will handle 160m passengers a year on five runways. And it will operate in tandem with Dubai's older airport, which is closer to its centre and currently welcomes 60m travellers a year. The punt on continued growth in demand is also reflected in the big orders for new planes that the region's airlines announced at this week's show.
Emirates, Dubai's flag-carrier, led the way by ordering 150 of the 777X, a forthcoming revamp of what is currently Boeing's best-selling long-haul plane. The deal is worth $76 billion at list prices. Boeing also landed orders for 75 more 777Xs from the two other fast-growing "superconnectors" in the Gulf region, Qatar Airways and Abu Dhabi's Etihad. Boeing's archrival, Airbus, won Emirates' endorsement of another big bet in aviation. The airline ordered 50 more of the A380, a super-jumbo launched in 2007 in the hope that carriers would want a plane even bigger than Boeing's ageing 747.
Emirates' enthusiasm aside, views on the A380's prospects are divided. Some analysts see it as suitable for only a few airlines on a handful of routes. Others see it as the best solution to the expected huge increase in passengers flying between the most congested hubs. Boeing, whose 777X will seat 350-400, not surprisingly sides with the doubters, reckoning there will be demand for just 700 or so planes with 400-plus seats in the next two decades; Airbus reckons on double that amount. The most pessimistic pundits maintain that the European firm will sell no more than 300 of its behemoth. Orders for the 747 are unlikely to revive.
The doubters say the main benefit of the A380's size, its lower cost per passenger-mile, is overstated: passengers want frequent departures at main hubs, and direct flights between smaller airports. Both of these require large fleets of midsized planes, not small fleets of giant ones.
Perhaps only the Gulf's three superconnectors, linking the most popular destinations in Europe and Asia via their home hubs, will want big fleets of A380s. Lufthansa, Air France and British Airways have already ordered as many as they will need for the foreseeable future, reckons Rob Morris of Ascend, a consultancy. They will fly them from airports with scarce take-off slots, on a few busy routes for which departure times are restricted by the need to arrive at a reasonable hour.
Emirates could have a further reason to be keen on buying so many A380s. Andrew Charlton of Aviation Advocacy, another consultancy, thinks that its big order may give Emirates influence over the design of future Airbus planes, such as its forthcoming A350-1000, a 369-seat rival to the 777X. Emirates wants its range to be even longer than is currently planned, since it is a long way from Dubai to America. It would also like just a few more seats.
Accusations that the A380 is a niche product rankle with Mark Lapidus, boss of Doric Lease Corp, an aircraft-leasing firm which has 22 of the super-jumbos and plans to order 20 more. He insists that if worldwide air travel keeps growing by 5% a year, as several forecasters expect, and if main hubs get ever more congested and fuel stays dear, airlines will surely come to see the wisdom of choosing the biggest plane their money can buy.
Airbus is sticking to its target of breaking even in 2015 on a plane thought to have cost it $15 billion to develop; so far this looks optimistic. But it is not impossible that it will turn a profit one day. Sandy Morris of Jefferies, a bank, points out that the peak year for orders of the 747 came nearly 25 years after it first took to the skies. Airbus's A330 took 15 years to hit the heights and had no orders in 1994, six years after its launch. But until an airline other than Emirates starts to order the A380 in significant quantities it will be hard to make the case that it is a soaring success.

Mad Cairo
Trip Start
Jul 20, 2008
Trip End
Oct 05, 2008
Well we finally made it to Cairo and what a turn up it was the flight was sleep sleep even I missed breakfast hm must be sick or very tired. we left Dubai an hour late and was a fun time. Well to fill you in on Dubai wow what an experience was worth it not only did we get a free tour but we also had a gudie who loved Aussies. On the first day we decided to go to a mall and was told one was around the corner or one in town decided the one around the corner was worth it but once out in the heat and humidity decided that the best part was the airconditioning, and asked if there was a taxi to the city mall we were charged 20 Dhm for that ride but was easiest to do the mall was great but like all malls shops shops shops and no shops for me (how sad). We decided to head back to the hotel and got a cab, he looked just like the cabbies back home when told where to go they give u a blank look, we had a card wtih the hotel address and he looked at it upside down side ways and even turned it over to the Arabic side and still did a 360 with it handed it back to me and then proceeded to get verbal instructions via his mobile while driving one handed and the other holding the phon, the traffic was mad house cars busses trucks all fighting for that one bit of bitumen we were occupying have never had a ride like this before wa sfantastic to see the way they all gave way and missed each other by cm's. we arrived safely back at the hotel anfd this time the charge was 12.50Dhms but due to his herioic efforts not to get us both killed i gave him a tip of 2.50 haha thats about 50cents our money. that night was another experience we had been on a dinner in the desertt tour wow we were paked in like sardines in a 4 wheel drive 6 of us plus the driver who told us we would rotate around the seats so we could see every thing and also experince how a sardine feelds in the back back seat of this 4 wheel drive.
First stop was to let down the tyres and we changed seats and had a drink of water while sitting waiting for the other 41 cars to join us we took some pic s and poor Trevor was feeling the heat he asked that i refrain from taking him out of the airconditioning again but tough he was shoved in my pocket and was comfy for the trip. The car had a directional and temperatrue display on the rear vision mirror while waiting it climbed to a balmy 51C out side we were in 30 in the aircon I took a pick at 48/49 but one of the ladies said no will wait till hit hit the 50 which it did 5 minutes later. we were then off and wow what a ride up and over round and down sand dunes following each other like a huge centipede. we were doing fine till the driver decided to over compensate and got us bogged on a 42 degree incline was not ahppy Jan can tell u as he was rocking the car back and forwards to get us out of this precarious situation but with the expertise of an professional and sheer good luck we got out and away we went. we called in to a camel camp and had a short break to look at them and then off again for sunset shots of a sand covered sun sinking below the horizon. It wa great as my picwill show :) the dinner was next and no no sheep eyes or goats testicles but beef chicken or lamb was a good feed mind u the body is not designed to sit on a pillow and eat off a bench but we managed with the help of me getting another pillow so u were slightly higher and comfy.
The belly dance was greart and she invited some of the people to get up and dance with her in the end there was a couple who were great and actually stole the show (we are not sure if it was part of the act as they seemed to move to closely to the music considering never had heard it before). so to bed at last rest sleep yeah right much to our dismasy we had a night off boom booms etc from the night club on the ground floor and finally at 2am we slept. the next day dawned fantasticly another day in Sand city, after breakfast we decided to go to the biggestMall the Mall of the Emerates, we walked out and a bloke asked if we wanted a cab and when he found out where we wnated to go he said no he is not going tp take us but rang a friend who turned up in a unmarked car and said 50dhms to the mall which was cheaper than the hotel price once under way Ali (yes of the forty theives variety ) was weaving in and out of tyhe traffic with the thoughts of us being held to ransom well maybe Nancy, me i would be left stranded on the side of the road. (sheesh this is long). He asked where we were from and when we said Australia well his eyes lit up the dollars signs went beserk and he took both hands off the wheel doing about 900kilometres an hr and said ohhhhhh i love Ostralians u are in the hands of me now and i will give u a free tour no extra charge, nancy and i mentally looked at each other and thought what the heck have we got our selves into here but hey go with the flow. Ali proved to be a man of his word we actually got photos of the Bur El Arab and with us in front of it he took the photos and did not take off with the cameras as we thought. He then took us to the Mall and asked if we wanted to come back and he would charge same money so what the heck in for a shilling in for a pound. so we arranged to meet him bavck outside at 1pm and sure enough he was there on the dot well 2minutes early but hey he WAS THERE. The afternoon was a city of merchants tour which we ended up back near the mall but were not shown the BurEl Arab like this morning so wow a bonus pic

During the its first term, the Obama Administration thus far has proven itself in favor of increased Government control and Central Planning. That is, the general trend throughout the last four years has been towards greater nationalization of industries (first finance, then automakers and now healthcare and insurance), as well as greater reliance on our Central Bank to maintain our finances.
Now that Obama's won a second term, there is no indication that this trend will end. We must recall that regardless of what is said, it was Obama who re-appointed Ben Bernanke as Fed Chairman. And it was under Obama's watch that QE lite, QE 2, Operation Twist 2, and now QE 3 were launched. It was also under Obama's watch that the US reached a Debt to GDP ratio of over 100%.
Indeed, at no point in history has the US had this much debt during peacetime. And the fact that we're overspending by this amount at the exact time that other countries are showing signs of shunning US Treasuries is a formula for disaster.
With that in mind, it is highly likely that the US will enter at the very minimum a debt crisis and quite possibly a currency crisis during Obama's second term. In preparation for this, investors will want to focus on the following investment themes:
1) Inflation hedges based on continued spending and money printing.
2) Gold and Silver as an alternate currency based on the US Dollar falling further.
3) Productive assets (foreign real estate, apartments in specific markets, businesses, essentially anything that produces cash).
4) Preparing for an eventual US Debt Default.
Regarding #1, there are several areas to consider. They are:
1) Precious metals (bullion)
2) Natural resources, particularly timber
3) (last and least) Blue chip businesses or companies with pricing power that can maintain profits during periods of inflation
As far as precious metals go, you need to:
1) Own Bullion
2) Store it yourself (not in a bank)
I do not recommend owning a paper gold-based ETF because frankly the custodial risk is high (that is, there's no telling if the Gold is even there or who would get it if the ETF is liquidated).
In comparison, physical bullion, stored outside a bank, is literally money in hand. You know where it is and you can find out what it's worth. Compare that to a Gold ETF in which you're hoping that the bank actually has the Gold and that it could actually send it to you if you requested (fat chance).
In terms of actual gold coins, there are three coins that comprise the bulk of the bullion market. They are Kruggerands, Canadian Maple Leafs, and American Gold Eagles. I've been told to avoid Maple Leafs by both a trader and a bullion dealer as they can easily be scratched which damages the gold and reduces the coin's value.
In terms of silver, the easiest way to get it is via pre-1965 coins (often termed "junk" silver). You can also get silver one-ounce rounds (coin-like medallions) and 10-ounce bars. Or you can buy Silver Eagles coins.
I cannot tell you which dealer to go with, but look for someone who's been dealing for years (not a newbie). You should always ask for references from the dealer (former clients you can talk to about their purchases/ experiences).
Some warning signs to avoid are dealers who try to store your bullion. Never, I repeat, never store your bullion with someone else. Always store it yourself. Also, be sure to talk to the dealer for some time and ask him or her numerous questions about the industry, the coins, etc. (feel free to test him or her on the information I've provided you with e.g. the three most liquid Gold coins, etc.). If they can answer everything you ask in a knowledgeable fashion, their references check out, and you verify everything they say with a 3rd party, you should be OK.
In terms of other natural resources, the best assets to own are the actual resources themselves. However, not everyone can go out and buy timberland or a lead mine. So this means looking at various commodity and natural resource ETFs.
As far as stocks go, I suggest looking at large cap blue chips stocks that are able to pass on rising costs to consumers (at least in part). I'm talking about well-defined brands that offer goods and services which consumers are willing to pay more for as prices rise due to increase operational costs and commodity prices.
This inevitably leads to defensive non-cyclical industries: tobacco, beverages, medicine, energy, etc. In the large-cap space, the following are worth consideration.
Price to Cash Flow
Dividend Yield
Kraft Foods
Fast Food
Exxon Mobil
Cleaning Supplies
Oral Health
Smaller companies I would consider if you need to remain long in the stock market are:
Smith and Wesson
Sturm, Ruger & Company
I want to stress that even though these companies all have considerable pricing power, during an inflationary collapse all companies will be hit as costs rise. This is why stocks are listed as the last inflation hedges from our list at the beginning of this issue: they do not offer the same protection against inflation as bullion, and natural resources assets/ companies do.
I am not recommending any of these companies here. But if you need to have exposure to stocks to the long side, these are some of the companies I would consider. As always be sure to do your own diligence before investing in anything.

Federal aid rarely affects tuition policies at colleges and universities, shows ACE report.
Community Testimony on Extending Higher Ed-related Tax Provisions
Following is a statement by Robert M. Berdahl, President of the Association of American Universities, on the letter sent to colleges and universities by Senators Max Baucus and Charles Grassley on the subject of endowments.
Paying for college is a partnership. The federal government, states, institutions, foundations, and individual students and their families all have a role in paying for college.
A new report to Congress by the Government Accountability Office paints a far different picture of college affordability than the rhetoric on Capitol Hill and in the media would suggest. The report, Higher Education: Tuition Continues to Rise, But Patterns Vary by Institution Type, Enrollment, and Educational Expenditures, refutes common misperceptions about college costs.
WHAT DO STUDENTS REALLY PAY FOR COLLEGE, AND HAVE THOSE PAYMENTS BEEN RISING? Between 1992-93 and 1999-2000, the net price of college for low-income students—the price students and families pay after grant-aid—was nearly unchanged..
The National Commission on the Cost of Higher Education met in Washington, D.C., January 21 and approved its final report. The Commission's report did not include an executive summary, and the Commission did not issue any kind of freestanding summary.

It has long been regarded as a major place of worship. Other architectural works include the ancient-style brick arch adorned with fine designs and the pair of sculptured lions at the door. There are also a square-shaped Chedi and a Khmer-style Buddha statue.
