Biggest Dating Mistake: Diluting Core Values For Girls
While I've always been stunningly handsome, extremely intelligent, and exceptionally modest, I haven't always said or done the right thing when it comes to members of the other species; females.
I'm going to keep it real and talk about a problem that has been the bane of my existence as I was growing up. I don't know, maybe it's just me, I MIGHT be the only one, but I am guilty of sacrificing what I want, and who I am, in order to fit into a girl's life.
Growing up most kids don't have firm opinions on their own identity, where they're going in life, or what moral stances are most important to them. I was no exception, and was easily swayed by peer pressure, which led to some bad decisions.
No decisions were as bad as the ones I made in order to please girls. I mentioned I didn't have a FIRM moral stance on certain issues, but gray area or not, I had an intuitive feeling if something wasn't ultimately right or wrong. The only thing that was easily swayed was my justification of things being okay to do "just this once."
My Mistakes
In my escapades of trying to please girls I've gone through adopting a certain music and fashion sense, changing my hair, piercing my ear, traveling 2 hours in a ridiculously bad blizzard, buying them stuff, being nice to parents I didn't particularly like, and putting up with their best-friends who were absolutely unfit to be friends with.
At one point I even smoked cigarettes because a girl who I was madly infatuated with smoked. We'd often go for a walk, or sit in the park, and smoke a few cigarettes while we talked. Eventually I'd even smoke when I wasn't with her, which turned into a very unhealthy habit that my asthma hated me for.
An interesting thing to note is that during the periods of time where I was feeling the most desperate and needy, I actually got the most girls. This might be counter intuitive to what you thought I was about to say, but the truth is that at these lowest points of self-restraint and 'standards' I overplayed the numbers game and ended up with a few bottom of the rung girls.
It should be noted that while I might have gotten these girls, who were for sure of low standard and quality, this type of behavior never got me the high-quality girls, who I would ultimately go on to admire and have a super fun and healthy relationship with (such as current and best girlfriend ever!)
Yes, girls can sense when you're needy, and it is actually quite repulsive, but the lowest quality girls are even needier and don't seem to care. That's why the high-quality girls, the ones that are actually worth your time, won't usually fall for these low-level tactics.
My Revelation
When that starts to make sense in your own mind you realize that you have a few viable choices. You can continue your behavior and continue to pursue things that aren't worth more than one night of your life, if that. Alternatively, you can change your state of mind, and ultimately your behavior, in order to become the type of person who is naturally attractive to the high value girls.
This is actually much easier to do than it sounds. I believe that we actually flip a switch in our mind when we make a decision and take action on it. For me that decision was to decide exactly the type of woman I want to marry, have children and build a life long passionate friendship with.
The main ingredient in what I did was to take action. The first step was to figure out what it was that I needed to do. I think that most people are able to figure out what type of questions they need to ask themselves with enough maturity and experience. I also think that anyone has the potential to take action on this information when given a chance and the right motivation.
I would love nothing more than for you to have the type of relationship that I have described, but unfortunately I can't go to your house, ask you these questions, and motivate you to do what's best for you. Trust me, I had a roommate in college who I couldn't pursuade to take ANY action. I literally locked him in a room with a girl who was willing and able, and he ended up running out of the room scared.
Free Advice
Ultimately, if you want to go for bottom of the rung, or if you refuse to work on your confidence and social skills, then there isn't anything I can do for you. On the other hand, if you do want to take your life into your hands, I'd like to give you some FREE advice.
I've taken what I learned since I started dating in sixth grade and I've written down the things that have worked for me. The important ones that got me the self-confidence, and skill, in order to get the girls that were not only the highest quality, but the best fit for me, and put them into my free ebook, for your reading pleasure, titled How to Get a Girlfriend.
The funny thing is that after you know the right questions, and you start filtering out girls and being selective, you will naturally be more confident, which will automatically make you more attractive to girls without compromising who you are.

I work as a probation offcier now. It is almost second nature for me when I approach somebody or they are in my field of view to give them a visual once over. I notice the color of their belt or what kind of shoes they are wearing etc. I am lucky to have an almost photographic memory. I cant watch the videos here at work so I will check them out tonight at home. I will be interested to se how well I do.

I just finished reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, which I would have bestowed the title Best Beach Reading ever. Except, you probably shouldn't read it at the beach, because if you do, you won't so much as glance at the gorgeous waves rolling toward your feet or notice the sun-warmed sand between your toes. Because Gone Girl's intriguing plot will smother all of your senses.
I loved this book.
And starting tomorrow? I'll be Gone, Girl. I'm heading up to The Hambidge Center for a creative fellowship where, for twelve days– with no cell phone reception and limited wifi– I will write.
I have to admit– I'm a little nervous. I started writing when my oldest child was six months old– almost eleven years ago. I've always written with kids around or nearby or while doing stuff for them. My quieter moments are stolen from the early morning hours, when the kids are sleeping, or the late night hours after they've gone to bed. But even those quiet moments– I'm writing in between packing lunches or folding laundry or doing something for my kids. The chaos of children is sort of–how— I learned to write.
So what happens when my kids aren't there? Aside from me pining away for them, will I actually be able to write? Will my creative juices be able to flow as easily?
Who knows? But I sure hope I can make great use of this time.
But to keep me on track…to hold myself accountable, I'm going to blog every day I'm at Hambridge. Well, at least I'll try.
Wish me luck!

Tomorrow will be the last WHEN DO YOU WRITE? before it goes on hiatus until after Labor Day. So swing by tomorrow and check it out!

The point of the Combat Accuracy article is to get people past the idiotic teaching that it is all about making the hit. It is not all about making the hit! It is all about the perfect balance "to hit and to not be hit" within the correct context of the fight. So much of the training of the recent past has been just about making the hit. This teaching and this mindset can get people killed. That is a very low standard of training, because it does not take the reality of the fight into consideration.
As we look at being as deadly as we can possibly be inside of "the perfect balance" it is clear that not getting hit is extremely important. There are times that the importance of that fact will lead to less than perfect accuracy. The only way to get comfortable with this fact is by understanding the accepted accuracy levels inside of the reality of combat. Not the made up BS on the square range.......but the historically proven combat for blood reality.
"How do you know what you are capable of if you do not know what you are not capable of?"
Since we train to the higher standard of the toughest of situations, we are more likely to not be perfect inside of our training. But the only way to progress in the most efficient and effective manner as possible is by learning through pushing the envelope and being man enough to fail.
If you do not fail......you can not learn to be as deadly as you can possibly be. It is only through failure that you can find out what you are truely capable of. Because if you do not fail, you do not know your limitations. If you do not know your limitations you do not know what you need to be working on to be as deadly as you can possibly be.
There are plenty of ignorant people out there that look at our PSP targets and think that we are accepting a lower standard. But it is their ignorance that is the problem.......not how hard we push ourselves. They have no idea what level we are working at because they can not even grasp the difficulty level that we are pushing ourselves to achieve. When the "you do not know what you do not know" training junkies comment on what they think they know......it is nothing more than mildly amusing to me. There is a certain subsection of closed minded, ignorant, overly opinionated people out there that I hope never break away from their dogma. My passion in life is to help "good" people. I have zero interest in trying to save the life of a closed minded, ignorant, overly opinionated person. Straight out, I do not want people like that in my courses or anywhere near me and the good people that I strive to help.
So, I am good with the fact that I am an "in your face son of a gun." I am good with the fact that I piss people off. I am good with the fact that there are a certain subsection of people that will always hate me. I strive to incite them. I strive to have everyone around them questioning them. I strive to force them to put there common sense up against my common sense.
The single most important thing that I teach inside of any of my courses is "drive the gun to the focal point." "Lock onto a dime size point on your adversary and drive the gun directly to that point, using the very best eye/hand coordination and body mechanics that you can possibly muster." "Get to your sights if it is at all possible inside of the situation." "Aim small and miss small."
That means put the hits, as close as possible, to exactly where you want the hits to be, inside of what the situation will allow.
"Situations dictate strategy, strategy dictate tactics, and tactics dictate techniques!"
The situation is the king and you are just a pawn inside the situation doing the very best that you can. An extremely well trained pawn will usually do much better than a closed minded, ignorant, overly opinionated pawn.

I remember watching him play. I'm not a huge NBA fan but he gave a lot to help others. RIP Manute Bol.
Virginia hospital: Former NBA star Manute Bol dead at 47 - CNN.comManute Bol, one of the tallest players in NBA history, died Saturday at the age of 47, a spokeswoman with the University of Virginia Medical Center confirmed to CNN.
The hospital did not disclose the cause of death.
Bol, who was listed at 7-feet-7 inches tall and 225 pounds, played for the Washington Bullets, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat in his 10-year career.
The native of war-torn Sudan was known during and after his career for his charity work for his home country. In 2004 after he was nearly killed in an auto accident, Bol told Sports Illustrated, "God guided me to America and gave me a good job. But he also gave me a heart, so I would look back."
Bol donated his NBA earnings to charity, according to the article.
Bol, so tall and so lanky, was somewhat the oddity when he came to national attention as a player for the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1984. He was a dominant shot blocker and rebounder at the Division II school, where often the tallest player on the other team would be a foot shorter than him. He played one year at Bridgeport then went pro.
Known as the Dinka Dunker for the Sudanese tribe he was from, Bol was drafted in 1985 by the Bullets and twice led the NBA in blocked shots.
Fans also loved when he would stand behind the 3-point line and push up a long-distance jumper.
He had more blocked shots than points scored in his career, the only NBA player to ever have that distinction.
He also drew attention after his career ended when he fought a former NFL player, William Perry, in made-for-TV boxing match. Bol won the fight over the man known as the "The Refrigerator" with a third-round decision.
Bol is survived by four children, two sons and two daughters, he had with his ex-wife, Atong.
Former NBA player Gheorghe Muresan, who starred with Billy Crystal in the 1998 movie "My Giant," was also listed at 7-feet-7.
I remember him. RIP.

Jared Noel has just one wish before he dies following a five-year battle with cancer: to see his yet-to-be-born daughter.
"My greatest hope is that I get to spend some time with her and enjoy fatherhood. She won't know me. She won't remember me. But I'd like to let her know how much I would have wanted to be there when she's 18, when she's 25," he said.
Dr Noel, 32, a physician at Auckland City Hospital, was diagnosed with bowel cancer in November 2008. He has since battled through 66 rounds of chemotherapy and two major operations.
Despite knowing the cancer would eventually beat him, he and his wife, Hannah, decided to try for a baby in the hope that he would live long enough to experience the first part of his child's life.
After four rounds of IVF, they succeeded, and their daughter is due on January 21.
But last week, the couple were given the devastating news that the cancer had grown rampantly in Dr Noel's liver and spread to his lung.
Without more chemo, it was unlikely he would live past Christmas.
"This is the moment we have been dreading for five years and have been lucky to escape until now," Dr Noel wrote on his blog on Saturday after receiving the diagnosis. "This is where everything changes. I have a lifespan measured in months.
"The disappointment is compounded by knowing we have a daughter waiting to meet us, and for the first time, doubt has been cast over whether or not I will make that meeting. This is aggressive cancer, doing its best to kill me, to rob our child of their father."
The couple did not have the money to pay for the drug Avastin, which it's hoped will slow the growth of the tumours enough to extend Dr Noel's life expectancy beyond the birth of his daughter - though it will not cure him. Ten courses of the medicine, which is not funded by Pharmac, cost $60,000.
Dr Noel said he had always been "a little reluctant to pay for a drug that does not change outcome".
But in light of his imminent fatherhood, he said, his life expectancy had become more important and he was open to fundraising for the Avastin.
"If it wasn't for her [the baby], we would do our best and let nature take its course. But all of a sudden months and weeks are the difference between meeting my daughter or not and maybe the difference between me having a few months with her or not. It means a lot to Hannah, as she'll get to see me holding her. I'm doing it mainly for Hannah and my daughter now."
As a result they allowed a friend to set up a page on fundraising site Givealittle appealing for the $60,000.
The page went live at 3pm on Tuesday and within seven hours it had raised the money. As of this morning, just over $114,800 had poured in.
Many of the donations came from anonymous donors or people who did not know the Noels.
A Givealittle spokeswoman said it was the quickest a fundraising target had been reached since the site was set up in December 2008.
Dr Noel said he was overwhelmed by the generosity shown. "I have no words. We're just stunned. We're grateful and humbled by it all. It's just so overwhelming. I knew there was some support and empathy out there but the response that we've got - I have no words."
He said the extra money raised would go towards giving his wife financial security after he is gone.
However, if it continued to come in at the present rate, he would consider setting up a trust to benefit his daughter.
Dr Noel said he planned to have his first course of Avastin and restart chemotherapy next week.
He vowed to give his all to make sure he was there for the birth of his daughter.
"I'm at the business end of the fight now. But I've outlived everybody's expectations so far. I can make it."

With so many places to choose from, skip this hostel. No sheets, the staff was unhelpful and unwelcoming. They gave you a towel for a cover. The location is pretty near the beach but fairly far south from the action of the city. As a seasoned backpacker, there are better options out there.
now NO SHEETS ? that is a LIE you get a cotton sheet the top sheet is a tower material blanket use as it is warmer if needed and better for cleaning you get included a towel hat other charge you for not that you would know how to clean 10 baht ride to the action most backpakers praise our hostel heathy to see some one complaining i suppose but please do not LIE

Durch 10 Baht Taxis ist die Anbindung sehr gut ans Zentrum. Im Hostel war man sehr isoliert von anderen Gästen. Die Betten waren relativ hart. Die Küche war eine Zumutung und das angegebene Fitnessstudio war nicht aufzufinden. Es war lediglich ein Gerät zum Trainieren dort. Die Internetverbindung war jedoch ziemlich gut.

John is a fine host, He was quite helpful the whole time I stayed there. The beds are comfy, and the bottom bunks make for cozy comfort. The bath and shower in my dorm is tight, but good decent hot water. Most quys were quiet at night/morning. During my stay anyway. Pressing isnt included, so ask if they do it. Lift for upper floors. It can get busy, so don't hesitate to ask for assistance with the bell. No loud bars or noise during my stay. Will return when I need a place again
we do only wash and dry service the place is indeed quite for guest to sleep. thanks for your comments

John was nice and accommodating, but the hostel definitely needs some work. The room and the sheets were quite dirty, there was a cockroach on my bed, the toilets did not flush (took about 8 flushes), some ants climbing up the wall, and the staff's kids were running around screaming at 6:30am for 3+ hours. The location is awesome and it really is a good value for the money. I would definitely recommend it if the staff put a little more effort into the cleanliness and upkeep of the facility.
well noted to keep the place clean . sheets are cleaned you should have shown us the stains and action could have been taken and changed the stained sheet . we try our best most say the jomtien hostel is clean your room is on the ground floor the ants again is mostly due to custumers bringing food into the rooms. we spray but we cannot kill you by spraying too much sorry on planet eath there are many insects we do our best to keep them out the Kids running and skreaming for 3 hours that is quite a show how where we as kids ?

General Mills employs around 1,300 food scientists, nutritionists and other technical specialists in the US. In the developing world, such expertise is in short supply. In an attempt to bridge this knowledge gap, the US food giant is connecting its in-house specialists with small food processing firms in West Africa.
Instead of flying its staff out on a Peace Corps-style expedition, its volunteers hook up with local entrepreneurs via Skype, phone and email for an hour or so per week. The model ensures a longer-term engagement and fuller support services, from quality enhancement to marketing.
"We now live in a world where a PhD nutritionist sitting in Minneapolis can share that knowledge in almost in real time with a company at the end of the road somewhere in Zambia or Kenya", said Jeff Dykstra, executive director at Partners in Food Solutions, a business-backed non-profit that was set up to expand General Mills' programme.
The social benefits of promoting entrepreneurship in developing markets are indisputable. Partners in Food Solutions has so far supported 50 local food processors in five African countries. The success of these businesses has given rise to a secure market for around 100,000 small producers. Couple that with the increased food security that comes from getting higher quality products onto local shop shelves, and it looks like good news.
The business benefits for the project's corporate sponsors (which now include commodity trader Cargill, among others) are less obvious. None of the corporate participants operate directly in the markets concerned. Nor do any currently have equity stakes or supply relationships with the enterprises that they are assisting.
According to Dykstra, the initiative was always designed as a "tweak" on traditional corporate philanthropy. The business outputs that have emerged, which include reputational enhancement and improved employee retention, are incidental "bi-products", he said.
Supporting start-ups: aid or trade?
Management theorists increasingly argue that corporate sustainability programmes need to have a business rationale for the sponsor if they are to become, well, sustainable. So can supporting entrepreneurs in the developing world generate mutual benefits?
Chris Brett, head of corporate responsibility and sustainability at agricultural and food commodity firm Olam, says yes. It all comes down to supply chain resilience. Olam has around 3.5 million smallholder farmers in its supply chain, he noted: "Enabling farmers to move out of subsistence farming to becoming serious commercial partners is fundamental to our business model."
He cites Olam's work with rice farmers in Nigeria. The Singapore-listed commodity trader is providing "entrepreneurial smallholder rice farmers" with training, credit and technical inputs to increase their yields and grow operations. The farmers (who commit to selling to Olam) gain from have a stable buyer at a reasonable price, while Nigeria can gradually reduce expensive rice imports (which currently stand at around 1.5m metric tonnes per year). For Olam's part, it lands itself a long-term supply of good quality crops.
The model carries with it two question marks. Firstly, if the entrepreneur is bound entirely within the corporate sponsor's value chain, the danger of a local monopoly arises. "This structure provides Olam with a great deal of control over prices of inputs, outputs, and, ultimately, over farmers' profits", a recent report by the Rockefeller Foundation concludes.
Secondly and more seriously, it's debatable whether helping subsistence farmers become better at what they already do strictly counts as promoting entrepreneurialism. Who exactly qualifies as an entrepreneur is highly contested. At its most basic, the term supposes an individual who exploits a new market opportunity to create social or economic value. The emphasis is on the word new. A rice grower is still growing rice, albeit more efficiently.
A clearer example perhaps is that of Iri-iani, a co-operative of fairtrade tea producers in Kenya. With funding from UK retailer M&S and several donor agencies, Iri-iani has established its own processing and packaging facilities, enabling it sell branded products rather than raw tea leafs that command a far lower price.
M&S still sources Iri-iani's Pure Origin Mount Kenya Teabags, benefitting from having a higher quality producer in its supply chain, but the cooperative is generating revenues through sales in its domestic market too. "We wanted to help our Kenyan tea farmers understand how to add value to the tea they were growing… and grow their business beyond just supplying to us", explained Louise Nicholls, head of responsible sourcing at M&S.
Market making
Aside from supply security, market creation can represent another powerful motivator for investing in entrepreneurs. Gib Bulloch, executive director at Accenture Development Partnerships said, think of a telecoms company like Vodafone in Africa. Five years ago, its business model was focused almost exclusively on selling airtime and internet bandwidth. Now, it's moving into mobile-enabled services in sectors such as health, agriculture and banking. Supporting entrepreneurs in these new value chains therefore makes sense for telecom firms, argued Bulloch.
The same could feasibly happen in Africa's agriculture sector, said Simon Winter, senior vice president for TechnoServe, a non-profit working in collaboration with Partners for Food Solutions. He points to Cargill by way of example. The US commodity giant's primary business model revolves around the production and primary processing of agricultural crops. "They are going to want to make sure there are viable local and regional processors that are then creating demand for those products", he explained.
For large corporations, the logical next step from market creation is market entry. The best small companies eventually become big companies. If and when that happens, who better to step in and acquire these upcoming entrepreneurial firms than the corporations that helped them grow in the first place?
Of course, they may prefer to go it alone. The prospect of today's developing world entrepreneurs becoming tomorrow's competitors lies a long way off, but it's not inconceivable, Dykstra admits. "Just like General Mills doesn't help Iowa companies, at some point this won't make sense in Africa either", he added.

Owner of company has received multiple notices from this group claiming that they are recognizing our company as a United States Excellence Award recipient, with a panel of industry executives that met and determined which companies met and exceeded industry benchmarks.
Basically what they are SELLING is a framed certificate, a crystal award, and a very vague press release, all the spectacular price of $358.00, more or less. These items are useless because this is not a well-known, or doubtfully even real, organization. You can find what appears to be a press release by them on google, but it appears to be FAKE.

FOSDEM 2010: Marketplace for Distros
At FOSDEM 2010 in Brussels, software that was declared dead was resurrected (Hurd), known combatants sat down at the same table (openSUSE, Fedora and Debian) and almost forgotten entities raised their hands again (openSUSE for PowerPC).
In contrast to last year's FOSDEM, visitors searched in vain for a lecture series by the major distros. Instead, organizers set things on a common track: "It was exciting to find out how other projects maintain their servers," said Klaas Freitag of openSUSE. "We run our Open Build Service from a central computing center, while other distros spread their computers across the entire world." Other talks concerned themselves with the need for, and relationship with, upstream maintainers or with issues surrounding community management. In one talk, former head of Fedora Max Spevack explained to those present at "Fedora Governance" what held the project together internally.
But not only the mainstream got heard. A few visitors were amazed about an operating system making a recurrence, when Olaf Buddenhagen asserted that "The Hurd lives." The Berliner worked on Hurd for his master's thesis while still in school. Likewise, KVM kernel developer and Novell worker Alexander Graf wants to reanimate openSUSE for PowerPC. Because he's employed to port the KVM Linux virtualization technology, he'd be happy to offer the distro with the Gecko to the Power platform, he told Linux Magazine Online: "If I can find a few comrades-in-arms to help me, it can be done by openSUSE 11.3. The KVM extensions for it are already completed."

An Old-Fashioned Girl HTML version
18. The Woman Who Did Not Dare
POLLY wrote enthusiastically, Ned answered satisfactorily, and after much
corresponding, talking, and planning, it was decided that Tom should go West. Never
mind what the business was; it suffices to say that it was a good beginning for a young
man like Tom, who, having been born and bred in the most conservative class of the
most conceited city in New England, needed just the healthy, hearty, social influences
of the West to widen his views and make a man of him.
Of course there was much lamentation among the women, but every one felt it was the
best thing for him; so while they sighed they sewed, packed visions of a brilliant future
away with his new pocket handkerchiefs, and rejoiced that the way was open before
him even in the act of bedewing his boots with tears. Sydney stood by him to the last,
"like a man and a brother" (which expression of Tom's gave Fanny infinite satisfaction),
and Will felt entirely consoled for Ned's disappointment at his refusal to go and join him,
since Tom was to take the place Ned had kept for him.
Fortunately every one was so busy with the necessary preparations that there was no
time for romance of any sort, and the four young people worked together as soberly and
sensibly as if all sorts of emotions were not bottled up in their respective hearts. But in
spite of the silence, the work, and the hurry, I think they came to know one another
better in that busy little space of time than in all the years that had gone before, for the
best and bravest in each was up and stirring, and the small house was as full of the
magnetism of love and friendship, self-sacrifice and enthusiasm, as the world outside
was full of spring sunshine and enchantment. Pity that the end should come so soon,
but the hour did its work and went its way, leaving a clearer atmosphere behind, though
the young folks did not see it then, for their eyes were dim because of the partings that
must be.
Tom was off to the West; Polly went home for the summer; Maud was taken to the
seaside with Belle; and Fanny left alone to wrestle with housekeeping, "help," and
heartache. If it had not been for two things, I fear she never would have stood a summer
in town, but Sydney often called, till his vacation came, and a voluminous
correspondence with Polly beguiled the long days. Tom wrote once a week to his
mother, but the letters were short and not very satisfactory, for men never do tell the
interesting little things that women best like to hear. Fanny forwarded her bits of news to
Polly. Polly sent back all the extracts from Ned's letters concerning Tom, and by putting
the two reports together, they gained the comfortable assurance that Tom was well, in
good spirits, hard at work, and intent on coming out strong in spite of all obstacles.
Polly had a quiet summer at home, resting and getting ready in mind and body for
another winter's work, for in the autumn she tried her plan again, to the satisfaction of
her pupils and the great joy of her friends. She never said much of herself in her letters,
and Fanny's first exclamation when they met again, was an anxious "Why, Polly, dear!
Have you been sick and never told me?"

Randall's Island Deal Heads To City Council
A state judge has ordered the Bloomberg administration to bring an agreement involving Randall's Island to the City Council for a vote.
It's the second time community and parent groups won their case against a Parks Department deal that allows private schools to pay for preferential use of some ball fields. In a statement, the Bloomberg Administration says all legal options are being considered.
The New York Times reports a coalition of public school parents and students, community groups and park advocates had sued the city, arguing that allowing the private schools, which include Buckley, Chapin and Dalton, to pay $45 million to use some of the fields would turn public parkland into a private domain.
In the decision, released on Tuesday, the justice, Marilyn Shafer, rejected a revised deal between the city and the private schools, saying the city sought to "flout and undermine the purpose" of the land use review process and avoid the required community input.

Panino's Pizza & Pasta
Gourmet pizzas fly through the air before landing on slabs in Panino's Pizza & Pasta's kitchen, where chefs slather the hand-tossed dough with sauce and toppings that complement pasta dishes, crusty paninis, and other Italian menu selections. Pineapple chunks, crisp bacon, and cherry peppers—just a few of those aforementioned toppings—weigh down slices slapped together according to a list of specialty and build-your-own pizzas. Homemade marinara and meat sauces add a hearty kick to pasta dishes, and a pan-seared sole fillet arrives in the straw hat of the Italian fishermen who caught it. The restaurant's BYOB policy means that diners can arrive with bottles of wine or six-packs of beer from their own collections, and a casual, festive atmosphere inspires conversations that continue long after the last plates are cleared.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average pushed through its record high last hit in 2007, as investors continued a rally that has boosted the index by more than 8 per cent so far in 2013.
Ted Weisberg, floor trader, Seaport Securities in New York
"I think it simply reflects investor sentiment that is clearly, for psychological reasons, being reinforced by this continued positive stock market we've enjoyed since December.
"In some respects we haven't made a lot of progress. If you go back to 2000, we've sort of been running in place for almost 13 years.
"It's hard to know what catalyst is in fact driving the market. Certainly Fed monetary policies have something to do with it. Certainly corporate earnings have a lot to do with it.
"But the flip side is there are still a lot of issues out there. The euro zone continues to struggle, the US continues to struggle with growth. You can find plenty of reasons to be cautious and even negative.
"The market is a forward-looking indicator and perhaps, just perhaps, the market sees something out there that none of us have been able to see. Which is positive, not negative.
"(But) I've seen a lot of market tops and bottoms. I always tell investors the same thing. Do your homework and make sure you understand the risks, because there are always risks. No matter what the environment, no matter what the market is doing, investors should always approach the market with a good deal of scepticism and caution."
David Kelly, managing director and chief market strategist, JP Morgan Asset Management, New York
"Things that could really have gone wrong like a blowup in Europe or a fiscal cliff in the United States or a crash landing in China created an extreme disparity between stocks and bonds and cash. Stocks are close to fair value, but very cheap relative to the bond market and to cash which is very expensive. Central banks have been keeping rates low and that justified higher stock prices. But we weren't seeing that because of these risks. As these risks have diminished, money is going into stocks because it has nowhere else to go. That led to the new high on the Dow Jones Industrial Average today.
"Plenty of risks remain, but they are smaller - and they feel smaller to investors. The real risk in Europe was not that one more person is out of a job in Spain. The real risk was the threat of financial collapse. The ECB stabilised the banking system and then stabilised the sovereign debt market. The economic prospects are gloomy in Europe, but the risk of financial crisis has generally fallen. China's growth came down to 7 per cent. In the United States, we've gone from a fiscal cliff to a fiscal hill with the sequester, which is deeply stupid, but does not threaten to put this economy in recession.
"It's not that the global economy is doing great or that the US economy is doing great, but the risk of catastrophe is lower. Not only is it lower, but it feels as if it's lower.
"After 2008, everyone was waiting for the next shoe to drop. You don't hear that so much now. The passage of time alone is diminishing the fears that have kept markets at such extremes. That is pushing money away from fixed income and away from cash, to equities.
"The central banks are making it impossible for fixed-income investors to make a good return. That means investors have to be overweight equities and they are moving toward that. That is helping the market move up."
Stephen Wood, chief market strategist at Russell Investments in New York, with about $US180 billion in assets under management
"It has been a long, grinding recovery, but the private economy is holding its own in the face of very challenging policy and political risks. Over the past few quarters, markets have been pricing through volatility. There is a lot of momentum and rotation going into equities from cash and bonds, and right now sentiment seems to have the upper hand over fundamentals, which haven't changed dramatically. It will still be volatile from here, and we're expecting high-single digit returns for US equities on the year, but it looks like China is making a commitment to stimulus and Europe realizes it has very serious issues. That's all positive."
Charles Nenner, president of the Charles Nenner Research Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"We're selling everything around here. I think we're forming a top, it doesn't mean it's going to turn around immediately, but it's too risky for me.
"All the people who missed the whole rally are pouring into the market now, and the people who started buying at the low of 2009 are selling."
Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist at Ridgeworth Investments, Richmond, Virginia
"I think that the stock market is riding the wave of global monetary stimulus. This is a market that wanted to test the old highs, but it is stretched. It's reaching out on a limb for that last piece of fruit. This stance is somewhat vulnerable.
"We're still going to have to digest some of the spending cuts that have gone in and the tax increases."
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer, BMO Private Bank, Chicago
"The Dow gets the headlines. I think there is a fair amount of Americans who remain skeptical about stocks. With the Dow hitting a record, they could perhaps encourage them to get out of the wading pool into the deep end. Given the valuation differential between stocks and bonds, the market will trade higher. As individuals get tired of measly yields, they could move into the market.
"For me, we are at fair value. The upside of the market is limited by the Fed. If the market rallies another 10 per cent, we could see stirring at the Fed. They will have to address of what potentially another bubble."
Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist, Schaeffer's Investment Research, Cincinnati
"For the average investor, this could mean things have turned around, even though we had a lot negative news like the 'fiscal cliff.' If you believe the stock market is a leading indicator of the economy by six to nine months, there could be stronger US economy coming later this year.
"People had sold equities earlier and missed out on a chunk of this rally. This makes those who held on to their stocks feel better.
"One thing we do like is the new high on transportation and it has been leading again. The market seems to be shrugging off all of the negative news.
"In the past few years, we have had ripples and pullbacks in stocks. We have a real strong first quarter. Then we have a summer correction. We still think we have a strong bids to this morning. Pension funds are very under-invested in equities. We have a target of 1650 for the S&P 500 this year. That's still a pretty logical target.
"The services industries are doing well on a global basis. We haven't seen inflation yet. This is a positive for stocks. Bonds haven't had a sell-off though. They are hanging tough. In the near term, there are still a lot of near-term uncertainties from Europe and Washington."
Robert Tipp, chief investment strategist at Prudential Fixed Income in Newark, New Jersey
"This is a classic bull market, climbing the wall of worry. Valuations in the equity market are spectacular. Meanwhile, positioning in some segments of the investor community, particularly retail, are light, while cash balances are extraordinarily high among retail investors.
"Stocks are incredibly cheap. They are as cheap relative to bonds as they were in the mid-1970s. They hit these valuations back in 2009 and the valuations have remained extremely favorable since then despite the higher prices, by virtue of the fact that the fundamentals have improved as evidenced by solid earnings growth.
"We are seeing the 'great migration.' But it's not the great migration people expected. There's a fear out there that a wave of money will move out of bonds into stocks. But the money will not come from bonds. It will come from cash, the most expensive asset.
"You will continue to see steady flows into fixed income which is expensive in some sectors like Treasuries, but is still fairly cheap in other sectors.
"Investors will chase the equity market out of the cash balances."
Anthony Conroy, head trader at BNY Convergex, an affiliate of The Bank of New York
"The numbers are real. The market's moving. You have billions of dollars changing hands day-in and day-out.
"You don't fight the Fed, and it seems to be fairly consistent with what's going on. We have a pretty strong market, the economy seems to be taking advantage of a low interest rate environment.
"What happens when this QE3 kind of evaporates or goes away, that's the major question in the back of my mind. But right now, the economy, the market, everything looks fairly healthy. Stocks still look fairly inexpensive."
Enis Taner, global macro editor at options research firm Riskreversal.com in New York
"I'm happy we got it out of the way and now we can focus on more important issues in the market. Maybe we can focus on the fundamental news such as earnings and macro economic policy."
Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer of Hugh Johnson Advisors LLC in Albany, New York
"It's meaningful in the sense it obviously has a lot of media potential - it's likely to move stories about the stock market to the front page from the financial section. From that point of view it is good news in that it tends to lift spirits or raise confidence. There is the wealth effect of the fact that when you start to lift confidence it leads to stronger consumer spending. From that point of view it will have positive feedback on the economy."
"The question it is going to raise - which this market has raised continuously - is how is it this market is doing so way in the face of meaningful spending cuts coming out of Washington with the sequester? The message of the markets is although the sequester is likely to impact gross domestic product, it is not likely to end the current stock market business cycle, or the bull market expansion. It is not likely to interrupt the current cycle."
William Larkin, fixed income portfolio manager, Cabot Money Management, Salem Massachusetts
"There is a component of this that is sort of a melt-up. Everybody is concerned about the low interest rate environment and the Fed pushing a little bit too long and too hard. That means that the larger, more global companies are going to be the benefactors, because the stimulus is not only domestic, it is global. A lot of these companies have dividends that exceed what their bond yields are, so from a rational standpoint it seems like a better investment in this environment."
Matthew Lifson, currency trader, Cambridge Mercantile Group, New York
"The question is, can the Dow maintain these levels? There's nothing coming out today that will alter the view of the US economy. The market is interested in risk - that's why the Dow is higher, why the riskier currencies are higher. If you buy stocks, you want to be involved in all of this. And the only thing the sequester is doing right now is hurting air travel. It's not having much of an impact elsewhere."

what to use to paint over paneling and also hide paneling lines?
what to use to paint over paneling and also hide paneling lines?
First, are you sure you cannot pull the paneling off so you have a bare wall to work with?
If not. Fill in the grooves using a wide drywall knife and drywall compound. Sand any high spots.
Prime with a quality superbond and superbuild primer.
Apply two coats of quality finish.
Making sure the paneling is clean first, and caulking the joints is also important.
There is a solid color bar at the top center of this page. On it is a search button. I would suggest using it to find similar posts for more suggestions and information.
I have used heavy weight wallpaper liner paper for this purpose. Scuff the surface of the paneling to give it tooth, then primer with a good wallpaper prep like Sheildz, hang the liner paper, skim coat the seams with joint compound once the wallpaper is dry. This will take only a lite coat of mud at the seams, then sand. Prime the whole wall and it will look like brand new drywall has been hung. Using the liner paper will cut down on the mud needed to smooth the surface. You only need to mud the seams of the wallpaper, about every 20 inches rather than trying to fill the grooves in the paneling, deeper grooves and about 4 inches and more applications of the mud after is shrinks. I usually caulk around the top prior to priming and at the baseboards. I really prefer to pull the baseboards out first and reinstall them after the liner paper has been installed, no chance for gaps doing it that way. The liner paper comes in different grades, some seem to be made for just this purpose.
We've been doing this all over our house and have tried various techniques throughout each room. So far, the room that turned out the best (and cheapest) was the bathroom. We used the putty knife and drywall compound and went to work. Once it was all sanded we used a can of spray texture and gave it a nice orange peel. When it was painted, you couldn't even tell it was paneling underneath.
Actually... the BEST room we did was my office and we used Sheetrock and did the whole thing, but that was WAY more money. I'm working on another wall in my kitchen using the webbed drywall tape. I'll be curious to know how it turns out...If I ever get around to finishing it...

Analyst makes case for Keystone XL
One of Canada's top commodities analysts called today for approval of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, citing a "compelling" case for why the United States should give it the green light.
The Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry 830,000 barrels a day to the U.S. Gulf Coast, has been held up by environmental concerns, forcing TransCanada Corp. to reroute it in Nebraska and submit its plans again. High-profile demonstrations continue against the project.
"Notwithstanding the benefits of TransCanada's Keystone XL and potential expansion of Enbridge's Alberta Clipper line between Canada and the U.S. Midwest, the development of additional market outlets - both in the faster-growing Asia/Pacific market and in Central and Atlantic Canada - remains vital for the Canada's oil industry," said Patricia Mohr of Bank of Nova Scotia.
Where the United States is concerned, Ms. Mohr cited three arguments in favour of approval, including the "long-standing free-trade relationship between Canada and the United States, especially on energy," the security the U.S. would gain on the supply side, and the boost to its own infrastructure needs to move oil from North Dakota and northern Texas.
"One-third of Keystone XL pipeline capacity will actually be available for U.S. producers, whose prices are also discounted," Ms. Mohr said, referring to the hefty discount on western Canadian oil.
"With construction expected to take 18-24 months after approval, Keystone XL could be in service by late 2014 at the earliest."
Constraints on the pipeline system are a big reason for the price gap between Western Canadian Select, or WCS, and the West Texas Intermediate and Brent benchmarks. This discount is costing Canada billions.
"The Keystone XL pipeline would allow greater volumes of oil from Western Canada to reach the largest refining centre in the United States in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas (via Cushing, Oklahoma, and TransCanada's Gulf Coast project), where 'world' prices for both heavy and light oil prevail," Ms. Mohr said in her report.
"WCS heavy oil should be priced close to similar-quality Mayan crude from Mexico – at US$101 per barrel in mid-January … instead of US$62.

Business investment projected to rise slowly
Canadian businesses plan to boost their investments by just 1.7 per cent this year, and may well rekindle the debate over "dead money" with the smallest increase since the recession.
Public and private concerns, along with the residential real estate industry, expect to spend $398.2-billion on construction, machinery and equipment this year, Statistics Canada said today in an annual survey.
"This would be the smallest increase since the economic downturn in 2009," the federal agency said, The Globe and Mail's Tavia Grant and Richard Blackwell report.
"The main contributor to the slowdown is an anticipated decline in investment reported by the mining and oil and gas extraction sector," it added.
"Declines are also anticipated in the information and cultural industries as well as in educational services. Strong increases in investment were reported in the utilities sector and in transportation and warehousing."
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has urged Canadian companies to invest, or return to shareholders, what he calls "dead money" that is sitting unused.
Of note is that spending increases by the public sector, at 5 per cent, are forecast to outpace those of the private sector, at 0.8 per cent.
Also noteworthy is that investment in the mining and energy sector is forecast to actually decline, by 2.7 per cent, in the first drop since the recession. This is largely because of a pullback in Ontario, to the tune of more than 30 per cent, and British Columbia, by almost 26 per cent. Spending in Alberta is forecast to remain flat, while Newfoundland and Labrador would see a gain of almost 83 per cent.
Investment in housing is projected to rise 0.2 per cent, which would mean the industry would represent more than 26 per cent of all spending.
"While the survey isn't a precise estimate of future spending intentions as plans may change through the year, it has been a decent barometer of overall trends in investment recently, and suggests that the Bank of Canada's hope for a 'rotation' in growth from housing to exports and business capital spending is going to face at least a one-year gap, since housing is already slowing," said chief economist Avery Shenfeld of CIBC World Markets.

Fitch warns on U.S.
One of the Big Three credit-rating agencies says time is running out for the United States to secure its triple-A status, The Globe and Mail's Kevin Carmichael reports.
London-based Fitch Rathings said today that the U.S. is on track to rack up debt that is "inconsistent" with a ranking among the dwindling number of countries deemed certain to repay their debts.
Fitch's intervention comes at a crucial time. On Friday, across-the-board spending cuts worth $85-billion (U.S.) over the remainder of the fiscal year will be set in motion unless Democratic and Republican leaders find a compromise. There are few signs an agreement is in the offing.

Cisco studies Canada
The chief executive officer of Cisco Systems Inc. appears to love Canada, so much so that he's considering investing in what he calls "the easiest place in the world to do business."
Of course, there's more at play here, primarily his failed attempts to change the U.S. government's mind on how it taxes companies and the amount of money they hold outside the country.
But, hey, if John Chambers wants to put some of that $46-billion (U.S.) to work here, it's okay with us.
Mr. Chambers said in an interview with The Financial Times that he was studying the possibility of investing part of Cisco's cash in Canada and Europe, having given up on pressing the U.S. government on double-taxing repatriated cash.
The chief of the tech giant did not say where or how the cash could be used, only that Canada and Europe would be "likely" targets and that the move could be soon, according to the business publication.
"In terms of our overall approach we're going to go wherever the start-ups are and where the governments are that really want us," Mr. Chambers, in Barcelona for a conference, told The Financial Times.
"The easiest place in the world to do business is Canada. Their prime minister gets it. They make it easy for me to invest and do acquisitions there; they have a great education program and they have a great immigration policy."

Caisse return almost 10 per cent
The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec posted a return of 9.6 per cent last year, boosted by a strong performance in global equity markets in the second half of 2012, The Globe and Mail's Bertrand Marotte reports.
That beat the giant fund manager's internal benchmark of 9.3 per cent and fell within the pension fund median for 2012.
Signs of economic recovery in the United States, China and some emerging markets helped equity markets close out the year on a positive note, offset by weaker Canadian stocks in the underperforming materials and energy sectors, the Caisse said today.

This is a great place to go if you want to be in the downtown area of Albany. A bed and breakfast feel, yet some privacy. Loved the staff, our room and the garden. Near some great restaurants. Also near the park and some questionable areas of town. Great for a quick stay or if you need a short-term apartment.

Good localization. Good flat.
I'd say for the price, i would have expected something more. Very small not at all clean apt. The kitchenette and (dirty) toilet in one room only with sliding doors isnt good. No iron board. And a horrible smell of rot in the kitchen!! But on the other hand a grand view of Sacre Ceur, surprisingly good bed, calm, great location and hot water. We only stayed 3 nights and were out most of the time. If we were to stay longer we would pick something else.
Disappointing standards in the flat, the shower and bath were leaky, broken and missing doors, blown light bulbs, dirty air vents, mould in the corners of the room.
Shower riser was broken, bath tap was broken, kitchen handles broken, cooker hood clogged with dust and filth, we have take photos and will send them to the owners when we get home as we are now in the UK for 4 weeks, not good value for money with all this maintenance needed, we will contact the owners soon. very poor standards not happy :-(
+ location is very nice.... explanations how to get there are also well done!!!
- not properly cleaned (((( check out is bit early... the internet access was not indicated in welcoming letter... took 2 or 3 days to arrange this...
we were 4 people (3 adults+child) was bit tiny... ideally for 2 people. max 3 people--
The apartment was perfectly located, with lovely restaurants, a mini supermarket and a Metro station within 3 minutes walking distance. It was clean and had enough space for four occupants, and was a nice place to return home to after a long day out. However, the lack of an oven did prove somewhat difficult, and (this may just be because we came from the quiet English countryside) the street was quite noisy, which was disturbing for the lighter sleepers in our party.
The area is wery nice, but the flat was so dirty everyvere. We had to clean the fridge before we could youse it, alt the things in the kitchen was dirty, the coffeymaschine, toaster, everything - and the kitchendoors. On the sofa was a very dirty sheet and all the doors in the appartment was dirty. We will not be able too recommand this appartment to anybody
It was a very nice place,in good location to everything.The street was noisy so it was difficult to fall asleep.The only thing we needed was a fan or air cond.
We hit a heat wave and property was really hot. There were fans which was very handy. Kitchen and bathroom very small and HOT. Anyone over 5 ft 6in would find it very hard to stand in the shower. Toilet seat broken. Plenty of room for 4 adults.
The flat is good for young people without children
Located close to metro station and there are many cafes, bars, restaurants near
Good for sightseeing and easy to get them even by feet
There is a lift, however it is suitable only for slim people;)
If you're a single man, this place is for you! there are many nice girls outside:)
The sink in the bathroom was choked up and couldn't be used properly
Room planning is not convenient at all
The flat is much smaller than it seems in the pictures
Wi-fi worked only sometimes
The key is very difficult to be found even with the instruction
In overall, we liked the location of this apt but the flat is inconvenient and not suitable for long staying
Nicely situated apartment. Clear and easy to follow instructions. Inside everything matches the description and pictures. We enjoyed our stay a lot.
