The latest data from the May property market as reported by REINZ states that of all sales in Auckland; 38 per cent "went under the hammer" - up from 28 per cent a year ago, outside of Auckland auctions are also on the rise albeit off a smaller base up from 7 per cent of all sales a year ago to 9 per cent in May.
The comments within the real estate industry, as expressed by Harcourts Northern regional manager, support these rises saying sellers were wising up on the benefits of auctions - higher prices with less fuss. She went on to say sales by auctions had shorter and more thorough marketing campaigns that limited "stress periods" for vendors.
Sounds perfect - less stress, less fuss, higher prices!
The fact is, not only are auctions becoming more the norm, they are also being compressed into a shorter marketing period, which in my view is dumb and somewhat illogical.
Take the data for yesterday (June 13) - in Auckland 185 new properties came onto the market. A pretty normal day, although Thursday's tend to be busier (a hangover from the days when this is when the property magazines used to publish the weekly selection). Of these 185 properties; 98 (53 per cent) were auctions, with 28 per cent being marketed with a price and the balance for sale 'By Negotiation'.
More than half of all new listings today are being marketed by the auction method of sale.
However when analysing the auction date for all of the 98 auctions, what I found even more alarming is that nearly two thirds of those new auction listings have an auction date of 3 weeks or less from today. A staggering 1 in 12 have an auction date before the end of June, with one providing only 9 working days between listing and auction.
How long to Auction?
Making the process of selling your house a rushed and truncated process is sure to do one thing - spook buyers. Buyers who are already pulling their hair out trying to bid on houses with so little time to undertake due diligence.
As to the claim made by Harcourts Northern regional manager of 'higher prices', this is a claim that can never be truly substantiated. There is never a 'control' benchmark for houses; they are all unique in form, location and circumstances; measuring against CV is misleading as that is proven to be a poor benchmark.
So, real estate agents who are paid a commission by sellers and who have the sole interests of sellers at heart, are constantly pushing auctions. Nowadays as the supply constraints grow larger these agents are choosing to recommend shortening the selling period. In my view this can only drive more potential bidders/buyers from the market, rather than as they hope, bring more buyers together to bid up the price.
Just imagine this scenario played out by an Auckland couple who are in the market ready to buy:
This young couple have been looking at buying a house for over six months, they constantly hear tales of super-heated property market and having already lost out on an auction or two already, stress levels are high!
They get an email alert today for a property which meets their criteria. They review and decide to view at the weekend, they can't do Saturday as they are away, so they attend on Sunday. They like the property a lot, but the auction is on the 3rd July, just 13 working days away. Now, normally they would go back to view the property again on the second weekend before deciding if they are keen, but they realize the urgency. So they talk to their bank next Tuesday, who show support for the price they think they can bid to, but the bank tells them they will need a registered valuation.
The couple pause - they don't want to spend another $600 for a valuation - after all they have only seen the property for 12 minutes so far!
They decide to wait until a second viewing at the weekend which goes well; so on Monday 24th June they decide to get a valuation. But the valuer says he cannot fit them in until Friday the 28th (just 3 working days from the auction). The next question is should they do a building inspection? Left with just six working days they decide to forgo this, although they do request a LIM through their lawyer.
Days go by and the weekend of the 29th/30th lets them see the property a third time, but with no real idea of the condition or what the valuer says he will value it at. By Monday they're pulling their hair out and losing sleep, the valuer delivers the valuation placing the property at a value just below the level they had hoped based on their loan to value ratio. However all is not lost. One of the parents has said if needed they would lend them $30,000 to help. They call up on Monday night to literally plead for help, however the access to the money is not available due to the money being on a term deposit.
Whilst they could have bid at the auction and as they find out later with that $30,000 they would have been able to buy the property; they just gave up - totally frustrated on Wednesday night, instead of celebrating their new home, they drown their sorrows, vowing to give up on buying a house - they have a guts full!
(Note this is a scenario of a couple who are renting and don't have a place to sell, just imagine the compounding issues if they had that property to sell, scraping together the cash deposit and then the panic about selling their own house.)
So, another prospective buyer fails to present themselves to the seller, unbeknownst to the agent. How many buyers are being squeezed out of the market by such circumstances? Equally how many buyers are buying without due diligence? This could be a dangerous long-term issue especially if there turn out to be structural issues with the house.
Agents may well like short notice auctions. They may well get a sale and thereby service the vendor in a shorter period (this is clearly their idea of reducing 'stress') it certainly meets their needs as they get paid sooner with less work. Let's not forget that an auction requires less work by the selling agent around the process of facilitation and negotiation, the auctioneer actually does the negotiation at the auction.
Finally, what about that claim about auctions provide 'more thorough marketing campaigns'? Auction marketing is no different to any other form of property marketing, except for the date of sale and the word 'auction' in the marketing material and, of course, the cost of the auctioneer. Properties all get loaded onto Trade Me and Realestate.co.nz in the same way and promoted online the same way regardless of the chosen form of sale. Arguably and perversely the shorter auction period is further reducing the relevancy of print advertising, as lead-times for print are measured in days rather than the seconds it takes to get a property online.
Auctions are undoubtedly the favoured method of sale by agents, this they detail to vendors citing the data of 38 per cent of all Auckland sales being by auction. Be aware of these number as sometimes what is reported as an auction was not a true auction sale.
However the vendors should be more wary; they actually end up undertaking a sub-optimal marketing of their property by going for an auction or worse a short notice auction. They may actually end up eliminating buyers and thereby reduce demand for their house.
The underlying problem is that this situation in today's market has not become transparent as due to the current demand, as long as they get just two bidders at the auction, the property may well sell. The question has to be asked - was money left on the table?
In my view marketing a property needs to be a focused process undertaken with consideration. It should be undertaken with an appropriate period of time - sufficient enough to allow prospective buyers to satisfy themselves of the property, undertake due diligence and approach the sale in a clear-headed manner. That period is probably between three and four weeks. I think a fixed date of sale is appropriate. In fact, I think there should almost be a sell-by-date. I favour tenders as a method of sale - it achieves the same outcome as an auction without all the hype, razzmatazz and undue very public pressure!
Whilst on this topic it is relevant to reference the analysis undertaken by highly regarded ecomomists and authors of Freakonomics, Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt. When analysing the sales of agents' homes in the US (as this video shows), they found that agents marketed their homes for longer; 10 days longer than their clients' homes, and they ended up getting a better price. Makes you think!

I knew it would be small in the waist, but simply omitting the gathers in the skirt gave me the room I needed. But as for the top... yikes! According to the envelope, size 10 was meant to fit a 34" bust. I'm 2-3" larger, and after checking that it wouldn't be too small, and making my standard 1" tuck in the length, I went ahead and cut my fabric. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture - it was massive! I ended up eliminating the back yoke pleats by taking in 3" at the centre back, and still needed to take in about 1 1/2" at either side seam. The proportions of the original dress would have been hilarious! Almost 10" of ease? No thanks. And this is why I avoid Eighties patterns.
I'm very pleased with how the dress came out in the end. The fabric, also a Yardage sale find, has some unnatural bounciness, but for $5, I can't complain. I didn't want sleeves or front pockets, so I didn't use them. I bound the armholes in self almost bias, there wasn't enough fabric for true bias strips!
I really like how the skirt hangs, and even though I wasn't doing the 2-in-1 Sew Along with A Fashionable Stitch, I used this trick for button placement. Love it!
|Odd head placement - but pockets!
|The back - sans excess blousing
Although I finished the dress at least three weeks ago, it took me that long to find a belt. But now that it's all together, I'm looking forward to wearing it outside the yard.
Til next time...

Citation: Funnell, D., Pedersen, J.F. 2005. Evidence for increased resistance to Fusarium moniliforme sensu lato in sorghum genetically modified for reduced lignin content. Phytopathology. 95:S32 Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Two genes, bmr-6 and bmr-12, conferring the brown midrib (bmr) trait associated with reduced lignin, were backcrossed into five elite sorghum lines, resulting in near-isogenic lines with reduced lignin when compared with the wild-type. Seed and leaf tissue from field-grown plants of bmr and wild-type lines were screened for infection by Alternaria species and Fusarium species. Numbers of Alternaria species isolated from bmr lines were not significantly greater than those isolated from wild-type lines, suggesting that the bmr lines do not have increased susceptibility to colonization by Alternaria species. When fungal outgrowths from seed were selected on a Fusarium selection medium, significantly fewer seeds from bmr lines were infected with Fusarium moniliforme and other Fusarium species, suggesting that lines reduced in lignin might have increased resistance to colonization by F. moniliforme, at least in some genetic backgrounds. Further support was provided by greenhouse bioassays in which peduncles of developing heads were wound-inoculated with a F. moniliforme isolate pathogenic to sorghum. Mean lesion lengths on bmr plants were significantly less than those resulting from inoculations on wild-type plants. A possible mechanism for increased resistance in reduced lignin lines is discussed.

Positive Feedback
The 2003 Consumer Electronics Show was an eventful happening. It took place at several hotels and the Las Vegas Convention Center, and there was also T.H.E. Show, the alternative high-end show at the San Remo Hotel. CES is a mixed bag as far as the audiophile as concerned. The Las Vegas Convention Center has nothing to offer, though the videophile will have a much better time. The first prototypes of the blue-laser players were shown. This technology is meant to bring high-definition video into the home. Since a blue laser has a much smaller wavelength, more data can be put onto a disc. I saw players from Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung. The pictures produced by these players were spectacular, even better than off-the-air high definition sources. Right now the only sources of a high definition signals are broadcasts, digital tapes, and computer hard drives. Sony has developed this technology, and has licensed it to nine other companies. They were projecting the first quarter of next year for the introduction of the players. I feel that this is optimistic, as a final standard has not yet been adopted. Blue-laser technology also promises five-channel SACD sound along with video, and the ability to record high-definition data. This will be important at first, because of limited initial software availability. The Panasonic blue laser player on a plasma set had about the best picture I have seen on anything.
Many companies showed machines that play DVD-Vs, DVD-As, SACD stereo and multi-channel discs, and CDs. Six months ago, there was only one such player, but now there are players or prototypes from Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Pioneer, Zenith, Lexicon, Linn, McCormack and Muse. I think the industry realizes that the only way for either DVD-A and SACD to survive is not to force the consumer to choose. There were also demonstrations by most of the video projector manufacturers. The brightness, contrast, clarity, and black level of video projectors have all improved greatly in the last year, and the prices are coming down. I saw an $1800 projector from Sanyo that had a very respectable picture. The Marantz was the best projector I saw. It had an incredible black level and a nearly perfect picture.
Plasma, LCD, and rear-projection sets were also shown. Though plasma sets are catching up fast to the rear-projection sets in picture quality, the LCD sets arent quite ready for prime time in large sizes at this time. I did notice a very interesting AV preamp from Fosgate Audionics. Its price was $3000, and it appeared to be well built. It had all the newest chips for surround sound, which is unusual for a high end preamp. It also had a 5-inch LCD display on the front for setup without hooking it up to a video source. I noticed this feature on two other more expensive preamps. It also had full video switching. Unfortunately, it was in a static setup. The sound throughout the Convention Center was awful. Most of the stereo equipment was not being played. The one interesting audio technology, the Digital Sound Projector, was from Pioneer. It looks like a metal base for a television, and it creates a surround sound field in a room without the use of surround speakers. It was very effective. The sound was not of audiophile quality, but was as good as most receiver-based surround speaker systems. With a price tag of $40,000, it will probably not be a big seller.
The portion of CES at the Alexis Park Hotel was much more sonically exciting. For the first time at the show, I heard systems that were worth hearing. There were more than 220 rooms showing equipment, most with active sound demonstrations. For the most part, the sound was between acceptable and very good. Since I only had one day to spend at this site, I quickly made decisions on whether or not to spend much time listening to a system. I only saw one revolutionary product at this sitethe Hallograph Soundfield Optimizers by Shakti Innovations. These are room treatment devices that improve the soundstage presentation of a stereo system. They were extremely effective, and they are even tunable for your preferences in sound. I hope to have a full review by the March issue. I also noted the large bass output of the HSU subwoofers. The best value at the show was the Triangle Electroacoustique Speaker room. Their Celius 202 speakers produced some of the best sound at CES at a fraction of their competitors prices. The Celius 202s are only around $2000 a pair.
T.H.E. Show was a definite step up in sound quality. There were very interesting subwoofers from Virtual Bass Technologies that were very small. Using a different technology to produce bass than other subwoofers, they reproduced a very articulate double bass, though with limited time and software, I could not fully evaluate them. I had questions about how they would mate with speakers, and about the volume of the bass they could put out, but they showed great promise. Another room that had very good sound was the Audience Au24 speaker room. Their large, slender tower arrays have amps attached to their sides. The best sound of the show for me came from the Sound Lab electrostatic speakers driven by Atmasphere electronics and the Marantz DV 8300 SACD/DVD-A player. This system had great presence. It could play large-scale pieces with power, and could also play the delicate parts. The dynamic range was extraordinary, soundstaging very good. The speakers would have probably sounded even better in a larger, more treated room.
I noted various interesting trends at the show. The first was the absence of DVD-A. The only cut I heard during the whole show was demonstrating the Pioneer 47Ai multi-player. SACD players were in a number of rooms, and LPs were being played in many rooms. Surround demos were few and far between, and the choice of video demonstrations was very unimaginative. I saw Ice Age and The Fast and the Furious frequently, and also a lot of high-definition video recorded from an off-the-air source. The Marantz DV 8300 was in three of the best-sounding systems at the show. Finally, there were many fewer separate D-to-As than in past years.

Having played the defending National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide two years ago in the inaugural season of GSU football, the Panthers are aware of what they will be walking into Saturday. While that game was televised nationally, the Tennessee game will only be available on pay-per-view and possibly online. However, the Tennessee environment will present its own challenges, which Georgia State Head Coach Bill Curry acknowledged in his weekly press conference.
"The stadium is, in terms of degree of loudness and the ability to drown out signals, it's probably in the top five" Curry said. "It's colorful with the checkerboard end zones and all that, and the incessant playing of that song. We've gotten our guys accustomed to hearing it….the trouble is that is sticks in your mind for about a year afterwards."
Like the message Curry gave to his team before the Alabama game (seen here), the Georgia State Coach wants to make sure his team is ready to compete.
"Going into games like this, the most important thing the staff has to do is to cause the players to believe we have a chance to win this game," said Curry. "I've been on both sides of the coin. I've been the coach of the hopeless underdog going into these situations and have seen our team win the game. And I've been on the other side when we were trying to convince people these guys might be dangerous and they could come up and play a lot better than people expect."
Specifically, Curry referred to the 1981 Georgia Tech team that he said "was not as good as this Georgia State team." That Yellow Jackets team finished with a record of 1-10, the one win being a 24-21 victory against an Alabama team that would go on to win the SEC.
As is often the case with GSU, the side stories surrounding this game in relation to Coach Curry's past are prevalent:
- Curry's first away game as a college player was at Tennessee.
- Curry has a long history with Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley as he competed against his father, Vince Dooley, and Curry's son, Bill, was a teammate of Derek Dooley's at Virginia.
- Curry has earned five victories against the Volunteers in his coaching career, including four straight from 1986-89 while coaching at Georgia Tech and Alabama.
- Curry is believed to be the first person to coach against Tennessee with four different schools.
However, Curry's history aside, this game is more about a a Panthers squad in their third year of playing football going up against a Volunteer squad that skipped playing in 1898 because of the Spanish-American War. Coming off of what can generously be called a "disappointing" loss to SC State, the Panthers need to show that they can be disciplined, execute and "man up and finish", as the theme of this year's team requires.
Offensively, it was announced earlier this week that former starting QB Kelton Hill has moved to defense as his primary role. This was both to get Hill more playing time or "getting our best 22 players on the field," as Curry stated, but it was also to help solidify the identity of the offense, as reported by Doug Roberson of AJC.com.
This move should give redshirt freshman quarterback Ben McLane confidence that he is firmly in control of the offense, and help the entire offense to establish a better rhythm. However, a key to McLane's performance will be that of the offensive line which has yet to completely gel as a cohesive unit, giving up six sacks last week. In addition, receivers Danny Williams and Albert Wilson, who dropped passes in critical moments against SC State, will need to improve that aspect of their play. Finally, as the coaching staff admitted after last week's loss that running back Donald Russell did not get enough touches, some pressure may be taken off McLane through a stepped-up running attack.
Defensively, the switch to the 4-2-5 scheme seems to have paid off, the additions of true freshmen Joe Lockley and Joseph Peterson have made a clear impact, and top noseguard returnee Terrance Woodard has clearly improved. However, the cornerbacks will need to show improvement against Tennessee's formidable passing attack led by quarterback Tyler Bray if the Panthers are to have nay hope of slowing the Volunteer offense.
The bright spot for GSU Saturday may very well end up being its special teams. The few statistical areas where GSU outperformed SC State included average punt return, average kick return and average punt. As the only points the Panthers have scored against an FBS opponent came from Albert Wilson's 97-yard kickoff return against Alabama, perhaps the return game may once again yield an important spark for GSU against the Volunteers. In addition, coming off of his record-breaking 62.2 yard average against SC State, punter Matt Hubbard is poised to impress the SEC fans assembled in Neyland Stadium on Saturday.

Halfbrick Studios specializes in mobile game development. They're well known for their mobile titles which feature Barry Steakfries, a dynamic and uncensored hero that actually just loves to kick the shit out of stuff.
Barry Steakfries actually stars in several games like Age of Zombies, Monster Dash and the game we're going to talk about today, Jetpack Joyride. The Halfbrick titles have been available on Android and iOS for some time now. Luckily, Halfbrick just added Blackberry 10 support to Jetpack Joyride, which was previously available for the Blackberry Playbook. Hopefully the developer's other titles will soon follow suit.
JetPack Joyride for Blackberry 10
The game itself is pretty straightforward. You take control of Barry Steakfries, a disgruntled employee who breaks into the laboratory at his work and steals an experimental jetpack. The game is an endless sidescroller, and you essentially guide Barry along dodging obstacles, eliminating enemies and collecting coins and other goodies. All you need to do to control Barry is tap the screen, and his jetpack will propel him into the air. That's it! To dodge obstacles, you just have to balance use of the jetpack by allowing Barry to fall or fly at different times.
The coins you collect can be used to purchase new outfits for Barry, equipment and vehicle upgrades and a number of other customization options. Essentially it gives you an incentive to keep playing over and over.
As you progress through your playthrough (each one lasts only a short while) the scenery changes at different points. The game also gets more difficult as the speed increases and the emergence of obstacles is more frequent.
There are online leaderboards to compare scores and stats with other member of the community, as well. If you have a more competitive nature, then you'll enjoy moving up rank in leaderboards.
The game runs incredibly smooth on the Blackberry Z10, which is something that I'm sure everyone will love to hear. Seeing as the platform is relatively new, there are quite a few apps out there that suffer from software bugs and growing pains.
Here's the colorful description of the game lifted off the product page:
Join Barry as he breaks in to a secret laboratory to commandeer the experimental jetpacks from the clutches of science evildoers. After lift-off, simply touch the screen to ascend and release to descend, raining bullets, bubbles, rainbows and lasers downwards as you fly towards higher and higher scores!
You'll start off with the legendary Machine Gun Jetpack to scatter the evil scientists of Legitimate Research, but throughout each game you'll collect coins and complete missions to earn cash and buy new gear in The Stash! Pick your favorite jetpack, snazzy outfit and stock up on items then get back out there!

Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and Council Member Chris Seelbach announced the proposal Thursday."We will continue to look for additional savings that could reduce layoffs even further," Qualls said in a press release. "We must preserve essential services that keep all of our neighborhoods safe and clean." Mayor Mallory reduces public safety layoffs in his budget By Jay Hanselman • May 15, 2013 Sarah Ramsey Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory's budget plan released Wednesday reduces the number of police and fire department layoffs. But 53 firefighters and 49 police officers would still be out of work in early June. Mallory said he believes the public safety layoffs are unavoidable. Cincinnati park supporters outlining possible cuts By Tana Weingartner • May 14, 2013 Ann Thompson / WVXU Cincinnati park officials are laying out some drastic changes you could expect this summer if proposed budget cuts are approved by City Council. Fountains could be turned off, lakes could be drained and flower beds could go unplanted. Ault Park's Facebook page lists more closings that could be considered including the Mt. Airy Dog Park and Disc Golf course, a handful of entire parks, and all park restrooms. Here's a letter being circulated by one park advocacy group: Cincy manager reduces layoffs in his budget plan By Jay Hanselman • May 9, 2013 Jay Hanselman Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dohoney Thursday presented his proposed budget for the new fiscal year that begins on July 1st. His plan included layoffs for 201 city employees, but that's down from the 344 he first discussed last month.Dohoney's budget plan was given to Mayor Mark Mallory, who now has ten days to review it and make changes before sending it to City Council. Cincy Council discuss options for city budget By Jay Hanselman • Apr 4, 2013 Jay Hanselman Can Cincinnati balance its next budget without money from a proposed parking lease or massive layoffs? The answer to that question depends on who you ask. City administrators say it's mathematically impossible to balance without one or the other. But some Council Members disagree. P.G. Sittenfeld said during a special meeting Thursday there are options. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

It wasn't pretty, but we made it.
Lucas Neill reflected that the performance might not have been what the public expected after the 4-0 victory over Jordan, but the result was what they were after.
The end has justified the means. The experienced heads got us over the line and the end of the campaign has seen the emergence of some genuine young stars.
Shortly, talk will turn to the future, with discussion on what needs changing as the race for the final 23 spots on the plane to Brazil begin.
But as we celebrate a successful, if not topsy-turvy qualification campaign, we run the rule over the players used by Osieck in the final group phase of qualification.
Return on Thursday for the return of the Fox Sports Power Rankings, as we take the first look at who has the inside running for spots in the 23, and who has done themselves a favour with performances over the past month.
Who has been the most important? Super Timmy, Lucas Neill, Mark Milligan or maybe Tommy Oar? Let us know by voting in our Knockout Poll below and read on for our ratings across every position below.
News_Poll: Road To Rio
Confident: Mark Schwarzer
Up for grabs: Mitch Langerak, Adam Federici, Brad Jones, Eugene Galekovic, Mat Ryan, Nathan Coe
Once the euphoria of this week subsides, Schwarzer will want to sort out his club future as soon as possible to ensure he is in top shape for Brazil. He showed his worth at key stages this campaign – none more so than in Saitama against Japan, as well as a vital stop in the 0-0 draw with Oman to open the phase.
Fortunately for Australia, there are a number of candidates at good clubs waiting in the wings. Game time over the next 12 months could decide who serves as his deputy.
Confident: Lucas Neill, Luke Wilkshire, Sasa Ognenovski, Matt McKay
Up for grabs: Jade North, Matthew Spiranovic, Michael Thwaite, Robert Cornthwaite, Michael Zullo, Ryan McGowan, Ivan Franjic, Rhys Williams
Up against it: Jason Davidson, Dino Djulbic, David Carney
The Achilles heel of Australia's side proved to be as solid as a rock over the final three games of qualification.
Lucas Neill was a pillar of strength on the pitch, and crucially, was the galvanising leader the national side needed in the face of qualification adversity. At a time when his club career was flailing, Neill called on all his years of experience to marshal the Socceroos, and his distribution was also underrated in the past three displays.
It is a credit to Osieck, Ognenovski and Neill that the 34 and 35-year-old centre-halves were not exposed for lack of pace over the last three weeks, and the Og-Monster hardly put a foot wrong in his return, creating a formidable presence alongside the skipper.
But the fact Osieck had to recall big Ognenovski to salvage Australia's campaign points to a concerted lack of faith in the players he had at his disposal, and there remains an enormous opportunity for a youngster like Trent Sainsbury or Ryan McGowan to make a pitch over the next year.
Luke Wilkshire remains a mainstay at right back and improved as he regained match time at Dynamo Moscow. Scored the clutch penalty at home against Japan, and he formed a good combination with Robbie Kruse in the June matches.
Left-back continues to be an area of contention, but Matt McKay continues to play the part despite his horror moment against Japan. For all the criticism, he's rarely beaten in behind, but for a usual midfield player, his attacking play hasn't had the conviction we were used to seeing from the former Roar skipper. Has taken one for the team out of position and has plugged a gap that would otherwise be leaking.
Overall, however, there were moments of real concern at the back over the duration of the campaign. It must be said that the Sydney pre-camp and the extended time together helped consolidate the side's defensive shape, but Osieck will need to add viable defensive options over the next year.
Confident: Mark Milligan, Mile Jedinak, Mark Bresciano, Robbie Kruse, Tommy Oar
Up for grabs: Carl Valeri, James Holland, Adam Sarota, Nikita Rukavytsya
Up against it: Neil Kilkenny
When the Road to Rio started, not many people would have paired an A-League midfielder with a temporarily retired Socceroo as the guiding lights in our engine room. But the Mark Milligan-Mark Bresciano combination was a revelation. Milligan's mobility, intelligence and excellent passing range complemented by Bresciano's game-breaking qualities and ability to create space for himself.
Indeed, with the twin threats of Oar on the left and Kruse on the right, there's a good-looking balance to Osieck's midfield, although there was a surprising tendency to back off defensively against Iraq. Perhaps that was to protect the back-four; or maybe it was an accidental by-product of Iraq's ambitious game plan.
The campaign can really be graded into two halves. In June, Osieck's side were organised to hit Japan on the break and then play a higher line against Jordan and executed both to plan. Before then, the side lacked tempo and struggled badly to dominate in a torrid start to the final round. A lot of the change comes down to the attitude in Osieck's selections, as well as the consistency in the side from extended time together.
Confident: Tim Cahill, Brett Holman, Josh Kennedy, Tom Rogic, Archie Thompson
Up for grabs: Harry Kewell, Alex Brosque, Dario Vidosic
Jordan aside, the Socceroos were hardly prolific, but playing up front has been a thankless task at times. At Suncorp, Alex Brosque and Cahill were battering rams; in the Middle East clashes, chances were few and far between.
Cahill is revitalised since his move to New York and a shining light for the side, while Archie Thompson is a marvel, playing as big a role in the national set-up as he ever has via his super-sub gig. His header against Iraq to salvage a dogged 2-1 win was arguably the pivotal moment of the campaign.
At clutch moments, the side have a lot to thank the money men for.
Thompson (Iraq), Holman (Oman), Cahill (Iraq and Oman) and Kennedy (Iraq) had the mettle when it mattered.
The bulk will find themselves on the plane to Brazil, and Rogic's influential cameo should be the catalyst for his further involvement in the side.
Will Harry Kewell join them?

Chile Exhumes Nobel Prize Winner Neruda in Pinochet-Era ProbeJoshua Goodman
Chilean authorities exhumed the body of Pablo Neruda as part of a probe into whether the Nobel Prize-winning poet was murdered in the bloody aftermath of the country's 1973 military coup.
Doubts have long surrounded the death of Neruda, who passed away just 12 days after military forces led by Augusto Pinochet overthrew the administration of the poet's friend, socialist President Salvador Allende. While Neruda was suffering from prostate cancer at the time, his then-driver believes he may have been poisoned while undergoing treatment at a Santiago clinic because of his allegiance to the toppled government.
Authorities, acting on a court order, today removed Neruda's corpse from the poet's Isla Negra home, on the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean, and transported it to the capital, Santiago, a two-hour drive inland. There, forensic experts will try to determine the cause of death.
Neruda is the latest South American luminary whose remains have been dug up as authorities probe the region's past, looking mainly to uncover crimes committed by the military dictatorships that ruled much of the region during the Cold War. In addition to Neruda, two other opponents of Pinochet, Allende and former President Eduardo Frei Montalva, have had their remains disinterred. Pinochet's 17-year regime killed about 3,000 opponents and tortured thousands more.
In the case of Allende, a Santiago court confirmed last year that he committed suicide while Pinochet's forces stormed the presidential palace, dispelling suggestions that he may have been murdered. Meanwhile, traces of mustard gas were found in 2007 in the corpse of Frei, upending accounts that he died in 1982 from an infection contracted during a surgery.
Brazil, Venezuela
In Brazil, the family of former President Joao Goulart, who was overthrown in a 1964 military coup, last month authorized his exhumation from a grave in Argentina to investigate their suspicion that he was poisoned in 1976.
In Venezuela the conspiracy theories go back even further.
Former President Hugo Chavez in 2010 exhumed the corpse of Simon Bolivar to determine whether the independence hero had been poisoned by Colombian oligarchs in 1830. While Spanish experts found no evidence of foul play, Chavez up until his death last month from cancer continued to insist his idol had been murdered. Allies of Chavez, including acting President Nicolas Maduro, have also suggested Chavez himself was infected with cancer for his anti-American political views.
Neruda was elected to Chile's Senate in 1945 on a Communist party ticket and cited his political leanings in his 1971 Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

Freestanding wall foundation subsiding from erosion.
Hi All,
We purchased our home with a nice patio with a flagstone wall going around the perimeter. In the past 2 years or so we have been in the home, the edges of this wall have started to erode, and I am hoping to stop this from happening before the wall starts leaning. I attached some pics for reference. What should I fill this in with?
PS. Dont mind the lawn o weeds, that next years project :)
A wall that tall should have had a full footing pored before the stones went up.
That wall appears to be built using concrete masonry units specifically designed for use in retaining walls. You can tell by removing one of the units and seeing if there is a slot or similar connection between the upper unit and the one below it. I can't tell for sure from the photos, but it does not look like the blocks are retaining any soil, so the wall appears to be decorative rather than actually a retaining wall.
In any case, concrete block walls do not normally require a concrete footer, you simply excavate down to mineral soil (remove topsoil, all organic soil) and begin the wall. Each block manufacturer has specific recommendations for building with their block, which you should follow. Course if you are not actually retaining soil, then it does not much matter.
As for filling in front of the wall, sand, gravel, or a mixture of the two is good, and you can put a layer of topsoil over which you can plant grass on.
I actually have looked into the product used, and it is like a srw but minus the (r)etaining. I agree that a concrete footing would not be nessacary as this wall is less than 3 feet tall, but I do appreciate you trying to help.
Any suggestions on an effective way to pack it in underneath? I am going to be laying down about 3 inch of topsoil everwhere in that area, so that should solve further erosion

This week, my neighbor Jamie invited me to a Real Housewives-style lunch (sans crazy drama and plastic surgery) at her house with a couple other ladies from the block. Our other neighbor Cathy offered to whip up some of her delicious egg rolls and noodles, Jamie supplied her precious Lupicia tea, and since Jamie has her hands full chasing around her adorable 10-month-old daughter, I figured I would chip in with dessert. But what do bring that would be tasty next to Cathy's delicious Chinese delectables and Jamie's wonderful tea?
One of my favorite Japanese treats is daifuku manju: sweetened mochi (rice cake) filled with an (sweet bean paste) that is intended to be eaten with tea. I used to love to stop at Benkyo-do in Japantown for a manju sampler: white mochi with red koshi-an (smooth bean paste), pink mochi with white koshi-an, green tea mochi with red tsubushi-an (chunky bean paste). Lately, I have been intrigued with how to infuse my favorite Asian flavors into traditional western pastries, and since cupcakes afford so much flexibility with ingredients and textures, they seemed like a good starting point.
I wanted the cupcake to mimic the sensation of biting into chewy, soft daifuku manju, so I knew that the cupcake batter needed to contain mochiko flour, and the an would need to make an appearance, too. But I also love the flavor of green tea with manju, so I figured: why not use some matcha powder to whip up some green tea frosting? After tracking down a few recipes online, I had a good base to start with. I made my own an, but you can find it premade in Japanese grocery stores (though it tends to be on the sweet side...if you make your own, you can control the sugar).
Thanks to Apple Pie, Patis & Pate, JustJenn Recipes, and Cupcake Bake Shop for providing the recipes and inspiration for my experiment.
P.S. When you cut the cupcakes in half, they look like those crazy-haired, naked troll dolls that I used to collect back in the 80s:

This kit comes with a crush sleeve so obviously that will be my preload setup. Now the part that is confusing me is that for the pinion shims they included kit 1113 which is way to large to go between the pinion and inner bearing. So it should go between the race and housing. Now my question is if this is the case is it ok that the Shims are larger than the inner pinion race? If i lay the race down over the shim there is roughly a 1/16th of an inch or a tiny bit more around the whole circumference of the race, that the shim is larger? Is this okay, i just called motive about it and the guy didn't think that seemed right at first but while on hold he was looking into it and was told that it is ok that the shim is larger and they've sold alot of the kits and have not had any problems.
So, to make my setup bearings/races; I would need 2 carrier bearings and an inner race and thats it in this case?
Provided the shims fit in the race bore, yes. I'd recommend doing the ID of the outer pinion bearing just for ease of assembly.

5 Picky Eater Pleasers
I think a lot of families have at least one picky eater. Over here we've got one kid who won't eat grilled cheese because she can't stand cooked bread or melted cheese. But toast is fine and so are quesadillas and pizza. The other one is SO opposed to noodles that he literally starts dry heaving the minute he sees those little strands of spaghetti hit the colander.
Let's just say that dinner isn't usually a slam dunk around here.
Keep reading for 5 Picky Eater Pleasers that your family will enjoy. Unless you have my little pasta problem. Fingers crossed!
Good luck!

Philadelphia, Mississippi — notorious in American history as the place where three civil rights workers were murdered in 1964 — made another kind of history last week. In a moment fraught with overtones of atonement and breakthrough, this tiny town of 8,000 elected their first African American mayor, James Young.
To understand the paradigm shift that this election signifies, read some of the accounts by civil rights activists who went there in those terrible days of 1964, watch the movie "Mississippi Burning" about the investigation into the murders, and read about the subsequent trials of the members of the Ku Klux Klan and others involved with the murders.
Philadelphia MS remains a predominantly white town, but clearly, the electorate there was ready to signal a clear break with the tragic, racist past that has haunted the place all these years. While Barack Obama's election signified a breakthrough on the national stage of race relations and political opportunities, the real measure of racial progress in this country is at the local level where people live, work, shop and send their kids to school — and where they vote. In too many places in our nation, neighborhoods and schools remain radically segregated, and racial prejudice is a disease that still courses beneath the surface pleasantries. But change is apparent in many places, and even in the deep South, as James Young's election attests, equal opportunity is more possible than ever thanks to the sacrifices of prior generations.
Threats to equal opportunity and simple justice remain. Right now the Supreme Court is considering a case that could strip important civil rights protections out of the Voting Rights Act. Voting rights for disenfranchised Black citizens of Mississippi was the motivating force for the organizers who went to Philadelphia in 1964, risking their lives for the simple justice of allowing every citizen to vote. Three of the civil rights murders paid the ultimate price. While this nation has made progress in the last four decades, the lessons of history remind us that vigilance in the cause of justice should not relent.
Read more about the Voting Rights case pending before the Supreme Court.

You had to have heard the call.
Those winds out of the north in the early mornings for the past two weeks set the stage. The surf is doing the calling.
And, fishing buddies Felton Dunnehoo and Don Hebert have answered.
They've headed south to the Gulf and have caught some mighty big bull reds in recent weeks, an indication that it's getting to be that time of the year when the surf settles down with a steady north wind and the redfish come in closer to shore to feed.
"Anytime you catch a bull red in the surf it's a thrill," said Dunnehoo, who is retired and lives in Moss Bluff but grew up in Reeves.
"I probably fished about every body of water around there," he said of his younger days. "Fished all the creeks and the ponds for bass and perch."
He and Hebert hooked up many years ago and began by fishing the river, the industrial canal (LNG) and Big Lake. It was only a few years ago that they started making steady trips to the Gulf for surf fishing.
"He got me hooked on surf fishing," Dunnehoo said of Hebert. "I think I remember catching three or four reds about 8 or 9 pounds each that first day and I was ready to go again.
"We usually make a day of it," Dunnehoo said, adding that they will get there by eight in the morning and leave at three or four in the afternoon. At times they will also pull a trailer down and use it when there is a break in the action.
He said his fishing gear is nothing fancy.
"I've got two rods and reels, a Penn casting reel and a Shakespeare alpha spinning reel. Both have 20-pound test line and I use a steel leader with about 3 ounces of weight or more, depending on the surf and a 3.0 hook," he added.
He'll also bring with him a couple of lengths of PVC pile which he will hammer several feet into the sand, these to be holders for his rods after casting the line out into the surf.
The bait they use they catch just off the beach with a cast net.
It's mullet and they will cut the mullet into chunks.
"Early on we tried taking shrimp down but they didn't work as good as the mullet," Dunnehoo said.
Now, for the fishing site. It's west of Holly Beach, but not all the way to Johnson Bayou.
What they have found is a trough that has been made with the shoreline on the north and a sand bar on the south. This is where the reds will come in to feed.
Dunnehoo said the sand bar is about 100 yards out into the Gulf and runs about 300 to 400 yards long.
The largest red he has caught in the surf is 24 pounds while Hebert has landed a 28-pounder.
All of the bull reds they catch they return to the water.
"It took me 20 minutes to land that 24-pounder," Dunnehoo said, adding that his second largest was 22 pounds.
He's also caught gafftop catfish, a lot of hardhead catfish and shark (small hammerhead and black tips).
"You really never know what might get on your line," he said.
As for his next trip?
It could be as early as in the next few days or as late as later in the week.
Whenever it is, he said he was ready.
Then he'll sink his PVC pipes, wade knee deep into the water, fly his line out into the Gulf, toss the butt end of his rod into a pipe, take a seat on a folding chair and watch his line.
Life is good.

Actor Robert Culp, 79, dies after fall
By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - American TV actor Robert Culp, best known for playing a secret agent alongside Bill Cosby in the 1960s cloak-and-dagger hit "I Spy," died on Wednesday after a fall near his home. He was 79.
Culp, who also starred alongside Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould and Dyan Cannon in the 1969 film "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," was pronounced dead at a Los Angeles hospital where he was rushed after falling during a morning walk, a police spokeswoman said.
"It appears that the individual (Culp) had fallen down and struck his head. It's still a preliminary investigation and we're still waiting on the official cause of death," she said, adding there was no indication of foul play.
Culp, who was born in Oakland, California, and attended university in Washington state and California, earned his first major television role in the late 1950s Western "Trackdown," playing a Texas Ranger.
But his most famous TV role was that of Kelly Robinson, a secret agent with a double life traveling the world as a top-seeded professional tennis player in "I Spy."
Culp also wrote scripts for seven episodes of the show, which ran from 1965 to 1968 and featured Cosby as his partner, Alexander Scott.
It was the first U.S. prime-time network drama to feature a black actor in a starring role and both men were nominated for Emmy Awards in all three of the program's seasons -- with Cosby beating out Culp each time.
Culp was also nominated for a Golden Globe for "I Spy," which was filmed on location in such cities as Hong Kong, Acapulco and Tokyo. Continued...

"President Obama is being strongly criticized for skipping the 150th commemoration of Abraham Lincoln's historic Gettysburg Address. In fairness though, Lincoln didn't attend Obama's 'Sorry about my crappy website' speech." -- Conan O'Brien.
Barack Obama is not the first president to duck a direct rhetorical comparison with Abraham Lincoln on the anniversary of the 16th president's Gettysburg Address, arguably America's greatest speech. But Obama is the most surprising.
Rather than travel a mere 65 miles to attend the 150th anniversary celebration of the revered speech by the president who ended slavery, the nation's first African American president hunkered in his White House fortress.
He got his daily intel briefing, met with a few senators, later motor-cading to the Four Seasons Hotel for a Wall Street Journal conference with businessmen.
The intel briefing routinely occurs anywhere. The senators' meeting was last-minute. And the business Q-and-A came long after Obama would have returned. Still, to show the importance Obama attached to the historic Gettysburg day, he dispatched in his place the Secretary of the Interior, whose name is on everyone's lips.
A Chicago Democrat, Obama has gone out of his way in recent years to associate himself with the Republican Party's first president.
Obama announced his candidacy in February of 2007 close by Lincoln's old Springfield law office. He's maintained Lincoln's photograph in the Oval Office, unlike the bust of Winston Churchill. And Obama often mentions Lincoln admiringly.
There are, in fact, some striking parallels in the lives of the two presidents that Obama shouldn't mind. Both Lincoln and Obama came from families of little means. They both became lawyers and settled in the 21st state. Both men launched their political careers in the Illinois state legislature.
Both men served only briefly in the U.S. Congress. And both Lincoln and Obama won underdog presidential nominations against political powerhouses in their parties -- Lincoln against William Seward and Obama against Hillary Clinton.
Both of those opponents were senators, both from New York. Both of them ended up in the newly-elected president's Cabinet. And both of them were Secretary of State.
True, Obama's full-blown, modern-day presidential entourage, treasured teleprompter and long-winded addresses would draw unfavorable comparisons with Lincoln today. Obama has yet to find a problem he couldn't throw a speech at.
The Republican personally wrote his 272-word Gettysburg Address on an envelope (Scroll down for the full text). Obama has a team of speechwriters earning as much as $172,000 a year. (Scroll to bottom for video of their most embarrassing screw-up.)
On that cloudy early winter day long ago, the nation's chief executive took about two minutes to deliver those historic words to the large crowd assembled on the bloody battlefield just four months after the Civil War's turning point.
Later, he hand-wrote five known signed copies, each slightly different.
The remarks' simple, elegant eloquence have caused them to defy Lincoln's own prediction: "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here."
Obama takes way more than 272 words in his speeches just to thank local dignitaries for being "in the house." Then, he really gets going. Indeed, at Tuesday's business conference, Obama took six times as many words just for his opening remarks as Lincoln uttered in his entire address.
Then, Obama followed up with another 4,300 words of answers, characteristically inserting numerous references to himself (60 times).
Initially, White House officials tried to portray the Real Good Talker as way too busy repairing the ObamaCare website, whose profound troubles he was unaware of for days, to take time for an annual Pennsylvania ceremony honoring someone else's speech.
At his regular media briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked why this president failed to attend the ceremony for a chief executive he professes to respect.
"I don't have anything more for you," Carney replied eloquently.
However, recognizing the gaffe of snubbing Lincoln, the White House website Tuesday posted a 277-word note to self by the current president ruminating on his long-ago predecessor and blaming Lincoln for today's poor economic recovery. (Just kidding about the blame.)
For the record, in his brief Lincoln statement, Obama still managed to refer to himself twice.
President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Nov. 19, 1863
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ####

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
I was acquited of a Class D felony back in 2007 due to mental disease or defect. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective d/o bipolar type. I had to go into a 5 year probation and attend day treatment every day. During this last two years, I have taken around 12 urine tests; inwhich 10 came back posstive for methamphetamine (the first through third time this happened I took another screen; a hair folicle test, and those results were negative) and 3 for marijuana. The first time a urine test came back possitive for marijuana I took a hair folicle test in it showed that it was negative. The second time I tested posstive for marijuana; no hair folicle test was done and I was sent to rehab. The third time it came back posstive for marijuana on the hair folicle test. sorry if this is confusing.
Basicially, the way I see it, is that they are trying to say I failed 3 drug tests; when infact with the methamphetmine possitives proves the the urine screens can be innacurate. One of the three was disproven by the hair folicle test. Since the urine screens are innacurate the second marijuana posstive should not be used as substantial evidence, meaning I've only failed on test for illicit substances? What should I do? My revokation hearing to have my probation rovoked, sent to the Arkansas State Hospital and start the 5 years probation over again has not been set yet. Should I hire a lawyer, or will my appointed public defender suffice. Thanks

GNC plans to make some major supply chain investments in 2014, including opening a fourth distribution center serving domestic stores, located near Indianapolis, following strong results for the third quarter.
The company reported a net income increase of 17.3%, from $62.2 million to $73 million.
Revenue grew about 9%, from $621.6 million to $675.6 million. Same store sales increased approximately 6.7% in domestic company-owned stores, including GNC.com sales, in the quarter, while in domestic franchise locations, same-store sales increased 5.9%.
Earlier this month, GNC switched to a third-party pooled carrier product transportation network and away from its private fleet, a move expected to produce $5 million in annual pretax savings.

Bought this because I needed a hydrating mask. I was sold when I saw that it was all-natural. It does have a honey smell (as it's made with honey), and the texture is also thick like honey, but it warms up in your hands and is very easy to apply. Love the glass bottle. Love the price! Will purchase again. Makes my skin super soft!5

New Uniform–Structure and shape are the driving forces behind the fall/winter 2013 collection of George Bezhanishvili. Model Ian O'Brien of Red sports the statement pieces, which include loose yet structured tunics, precisely tailored and draped pants, and a unique fabric blocking amidst a bold color palette. George Bezhanishvili dips into strong visual aesthetics with each piece telling an individual story of the collection, all captured by photographer Peter Stanglmayr.
Where is he now? He has no FB, Twitter, linkedIn, etc, basically NO SOCIAL MEDIA presence. And his current agency (RED NYC) is not responding to enquiries.

Tribes: Ascend shelved, Hi-Rez focusing on Smite
The game will continue to exist, but Hi-Rez Studios no longer has major updates planned. Fans aren't happy.
Hi-Rez Studios has revealed that Tribes: Ascend will continue operation, but the developer is no longer putting any effort towards the game. Instead, Hi-Rez is focusing on Smite, the company's answer to the popular MOBA trend.
"There are no major dev updates planned for Tribes: Ascend in the next six months," wrote Hi-Rez chief operating officer Todd Harris on Reddit. "For the next six months our primary development focus is Smite. Beyond that it is [Global Agenda 2]. And beyond that a [Tribes: Ascend 2] would be more likely than a major update to TA; but to be clear no devs are currently working toward TA2."
"Per the development blog on our forums, the recent TA work has been [Hi-Rez level designer Kate Pitstick] developing some additional maps. If time allows then these new TA maps (along with some bug-fixes) would be finalized and deployed but no committed date yet," Harris added.
This came in response to an open letter on Reddit asking if more content was coming for the game, with the last patch released on March 12, 2013. Some Reddit posters believe Hi-Rez dropped support for its first game, Global Agenda, after the game's free-to-play conversion back in April 2011. A number of fans have seemingly lost faith in the developer due to the drop-off of support on Global Agenda and Tribes: Ascend.
The company announced the development of Global Agenda 2 on October 2012, with beta testing on the game expected to begin some time this year.

Police say no charges will be laid after a driver pulled out of a parking spot and sideswiped a bus.
Relatively minor damage was the only result — less than $2,000, police estimate. No one was injured as a result of the collision, which happened at about noon on Saturday in the zero-hundred block of Ninth Street.
Police say there were mitigating factors that led them to not lay any charges.
