Our Fabulous Windsor Castle : This is a top of the range villa in the best location of Windsor Hills Kissimmee. A luxury home that we have spared no expense in. We have endeavoured to make our home beautiful and comfortable for the enjoyment of our family and guests. Recently decorated throughout it boasts high end furnishings, luxurious linens, towels and accent pieces. TV/DVD's in every bedroom. X-Box 360 & games.

The sun reaches our Pool and Spa from morning through to sunset. The higher elevation of the Reserve makes for a wonderful view of the surrounding community. One of the three children's playgrounds is within a few minutes' walk from the front of the house.
The Games Room : The Games room in our home is controlled by air conditioned fans; this makes a huge difference in these homes. Many of the homes in Windsor Hills have game rooms in the garage, however, without air conditioning ……….it can be really hard to enjoy the gaming space. You will find a full sized pool table, electronic darts board, air hockey and foosball table to round out the options in the game room. A great place to leave the kids while you top up your tan on the pool deck. This is not your average run of the mill Florida rental villa.
Our home is fully inspected and licensed by the State of Florida, so you are assured that the home is of the highest standards possible. We have a 24 hr management team in place to take care of your every concern and need.
Our home is also equipped with all those little daily items you need that will save you on arrival a trip to the shops, for our Guests convienance we can provide a 'Welcome Basket tailored to your needs, at cost.
Welcome to Windsor Hills : The Windsor Hills Resort is fast becoming the most popular place to stay in the Disney area. Not surprising really considering the superb facilities and………. it's so close to Disney !! The resort community is beautifully landscaped with pristine homes and a 24 hour guarded and gated entrance. ………it boasts the best facilities in the area. You will find a beautiful clubhouse with state of the art Gym, Private cinema, Sundry shop, Superb community pool with Water Slides and Spa, Video games room, Table tennis, Pool tables & Kiddies Playgrounds. Tennis courts, Basketball, Volleyball, Shuttle Service to the Theme Parks (small fee required). The list goes on……………
For those of you who love to Golf, Mystic Dunes Private Golf Club is just a stone throw away! There are literally thousands of rental homes in the Kissimmee, Davenport and Orlando areas to choose from but 'very few' are of this high standard. There is simply no comparison with the cheaper villas advertised.
The house was lovely and just as advertised. Only issue is the keypad code did not work upon arrival, which happened to be after 10pm, but the Property Managers called us back within 10 minutes of leaving a message to provide a new code so everything worked out fine.
The home was the right size for our family (11 people). The game room and pool provided hours of entertainment for the children and adults. The location was great for going to Disney and the main road (192) provided all we needed.
Windsor Castle Villa is a large, gorgeous home with plenty of room for everyone. The home was clean and had all the kitchen tools to make breakfast and dinner daily. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, feeling more like a home than a vacation rental.
The pool and spa were perfect although, in retrospect, I should have taken the owner's suggestion to have it heated and we probably would have utilized it more in the evening.
The bedrooms were large and very comfortable with the master bedroom/bath feeling more like an oasis after long, adventurous days exploring the parks and local sites.
The clubhouse offers plenty of amenities for all including a gym, arcade and pool for smaller visitors.
My family and I had a wonderful vacation experience here. The owner and management company were incredibly helpful and responsive and provided many details about the area that we would not have been privy too had we stayed elsewhere.
We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to the parks and all the Orlando has to offer.
Villa is in great location for visiting Disney. Windsor Hills resort is nice and secure so a good base to have. The Villa is well appointed and pretty much has everything you'll need in the kitchen or around the pool. Owner is very helpful and friendly and local support team are excellent if needed. We were a party of 11 and had a terrific two weeks.
The villa exceeded our expectations and more. The estate in Windsor hills in itself is a safe, very clean environment. The villa was large and had everything you could need, from bed guards for the kids to pool side inflatables. It was clean and maintained to a very high standard. Lovely touches such as the the welcome hamper on arrival. Would definitely go back and definately recommend.
Arriving at this home after a long day of travel is like entering another world. From the welcome basket of snacks & staples in the refridgerator, all basic needs have been anticipated. The home is beautifully decorated and well maintained. My grand children loved the pool & game room and were quite happy when we took a day off from the parks and stayed home. The location is excellent with easy access to the parks and tons of restaurants nearby. Susan, the owner, provided us with a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. Thanks again Susan-

Equity Perspectives
Europe Looking Up
After years of lagging the global economic recovery, Europe is showing signs that it can stave off deflation and rekindle meaningful growth.
Newton's law of motion—that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction—often comes into play in economics and financial markets. Well, at least central bankers and economic policymakers hope it works in their setting. With this in mind, perhaps it is no surprise that the Chinese economy came roaring back earliest out of the global financial crisis, on the back of a massive fiscal expansion and debt-fueled investment boom. Next, the U.S. economy started to show green shoots of growth, based on both massive quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus. Even though US growth has been substandard, there's been a positive reaction to the action taken. It's too early to tell about the reaction to the financial crisis in Japan, but so far it has been positive and is awaiting further policy measures to keep the momentum going.
Clearly the laggard area has been the eurozone. Stimulus came late, was very hard to coordinate in a timely way, and was diluted over time. The upshot is that Europe, if policymakers can agree, has more room to accommodate further measures, such as central bank support, fiscal reforms, and structural economic reforms. If so, there may be more "reaction" still ahead in Europe that can support the capital markets, and perhaps this warrants more investor attention for that reason alone.
The hurdle of getting the banking system through the European Central Bank's (ECB) asset-quality review is a necessary step in reaffirming or recapitalizing the banking system. Once done, the ECB will finally have a clear idea of what kind of excess liquidity the overall eurozone banking system has in it and perhaps look for ways to put it to work. There's talk of reviving the asset-backed security market as well, and this could be a targeted tool for the ECB to help provide stimulus to the credit market and, in particular, small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe.
We've also seen a nice pickup in the leading economic indicators in Europe, especially relative to the indexes of leading indicators in the United States and China. There are other important indicators that also point to better skies ahead for Europe. The deflation in the peripheral countries has realigned unit labor costs, such that places like Greece, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal are now highly competitive with Germany. The fact that inflation in the eurozone is well below target is worrying, but a sign that a realignment of costs is ongoing. Given that the unit labor costs in most of the periphery are at or below those in Germany, this trend should begin to slow, thus eliminating the specter of outright eurozone deflation.
This good news from the periphery, along with far better government fiscal balances, should allow countries to focus more on growth-enhancing policies over the next few years. This also should inspire confidence and, ultimately, get employment moving in the right direction. By then, it should be evident that a reaction is due for these actions.
In a recent GaveKal Research report, François Chauchat said stock markets in the eurozone remain approximately 10% undervalued versus the United States and emerging markets, based on a long-term price-to-book metric. (See Chart 2.) And he expects small caps will lead the eurozone's earnings recovery.
"We would argue that European equities should over the short term sustain their outperformance," Chauchat said. "After all, Wall Street has gotten expensive, and although emerging markets have become cheaper, corporate profits in these centers are declining, commodity prices are stagnant and interest rates are trending higher. Also, investors in emerging markets continue to fear potential systemic risks in China and political risks in Russia, Turkey, and India."
Of course, central bank policy alone is not enough to sustain European equities. We have learned that with Japan over the years. ECB president Mario Draghi did buy time for the indebted countries to eliminate the worst-case scenario from two years ago. But he has consistently in the past said he will not make it easy for Italy and France to ignore economic and political reform by flooding their systems with money. So, pressure remains on France and Italy to get on with their reforms. Italy has an excellent chance; France, not so much as long as President Francois Holland is in office, which may be only two more years, according to some political observers.
Clearly, additional steps by the ECB to "do whatever it takes" must be accompanied by structural reforms in the most problematic countries. Is the process too slow? Yes, but that also should change.

Note about Risk: The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies and/or sectors in the economy. Investments in small and mid cap companies involve greater risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations, and illiquidity. Investing in international securities generally poses greater risk than investing in domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Special risks are inherent to international investing, including those related to currency fluctuations and foreign, political, and economic events. With respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding or other taxes, and political or social instability that could affect investments in those countries The securities markets of emerging countrires tend to be less liquid, especially subject to greater price volatility, have a smaller capitalization, less government regulation, and may not be subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial, and other reporting requirements as securities issued in more developed countries. Further, investing in the securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries may present a greater risk of loss resulting from problems in security registration and custody or substantial economic or political disruptions. No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.

"I lavish in desire" – Art by Martin Grahame-Dunn & Poetry by Katypoetess
Recently, I have began a journey of research to use the art and literature of the Pre-Raphaelite era as an inspiration to create pieces of fine art via the medium of photography, in that distinctive painters style. My first reference was to look at certain stanzas in the Keats ballad, written in 1819, "La Belle Dame sans Merci" that in itself is a reworking of the 15th century piece by that name by Alain Chartier. The stanza chosen was:
"I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful, a fairy's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild."
John Keats 1819
So, my Lady and I revisited a location we love, fully laden with a costume (although not in the colours I would have chosen) and props including beautifully crafted armour, and a head garland of white roses, that I had sat and made up the previous evening. The day itself was the third anniversary of us being together and what better way to mark the occasion than by doing something together we both love. Art & Poetry. Waiting for the 'sweet light' of the day I took sufficient images to create the first test piece for my new collection.
Later that evening having completed the art piece, my Lady, unbeknown to me wrote a beautiful piece of what she has dubbed, 'Micropoetry' and Tweeted it to the world. It's actually a perfect fit for the image and together I believe we have achieved what every artist and his muse desires, a harmony of vision and execution….
"I lavish in desire
for decay around me
in face or flower
cliff rock or body
or the sun setting on
another dying day"

Keeping up appearances – being a great photographer is a complete package!
Some food for thought. What is a Professional Photographer in 2016? What should they look like? How should they behave? Three very important questions then, that need an answer, and probably answers that some will not want to hear. So, perhaps its better to face questions with questions that only one's conscience can answer.
Isn't professionalism in photography more about a demeanour than a 'God Given Right' to call oneself professional, as it is a sole source of income? Nowadays how many people do we know that have multiple income sources? Many of my ex-commercial photographer friends have had to diversify to survive and some have taken second jobs to make a living. It's clearly a time for thought and how the professional organisations should be assisting and supporting those who have dedicated most of their working lives to the profession. Ivory towers are havens of fantasy, can fall and are often indefensible.
Surely a professional photographer should dress appropriate to the assignments they are undertaking? Is it therefore right for the photographer at a wedding where the guests are dressed smartly and elegantly in suits and dresses to turn up in jeans, T Shirts? How should one dress to shoot the MD of a blue chip company? As an equal or a tradesman?
Finally, on the subject of behaviour. Of all the 'disagreements' between a photographer and a client, the vast majority are caused by behaviour. Sometimes it's contractual. 'He said, she said' scenarios, or at worst its ego's that get in the way. Fear of criticism of their images to the point of being aggressively defensive when sometimes, those criticisms may be justified.
We are all judged continuously, not by a discerning market but on the whole, a market driven, cost conscious litigious one. Time for inward reflection and to remember, you are your brand.

Professional fees – what are we really worth?
There have been so many changes in our industry since the halcyon days of the 80's and 90's. I well remember a day rate as a commercial & advertising photographer commanding £5000. How things have changed and clearly, from our perspective, not for the better! But as consulate professionals we do have a worth. Indeed we should be commanding respectable fees for our work. All to often I hear and see discussions with tales of woe describing just how much our fees have dwindled to across the board.
Weddings are a prime example. Fees in the thousands used to be commonplace but we are told that due to the advent of the smartphone that we simply cannot command such figures. But there are some that still do. Perhaps its a case of understanding your true value and holding your nerve. Much easier if you have a unique presence and style of course.
In portraiture I well remember fees in excess of £1,000.00 for a portrait sale. Wall portraiture was at a premium. Photographers simply wouldn't sell loose prints, and as for giving away one's captures (negatives now digital files) it was unheard of. Almost a capital offence linked to either giving away part of one's soul or copyright. In either case a bad move that today has become commonplace.
To put things in some perspective and show that not every profession has similarly suffered, a solicitor, and not a principal I might add, commands a fee of around £2,640.00 per day or an hourly rate of £330 Inc VAT. So perhaps it's time to up our game and recognise our worth as an industry. I for one will be reviewing my fee structure for Mentoring, training and legal representation & conciliation services. Not everything in life, or our industry, should be for free.
Sorry, I've been away too long!
Its been over four months since my last post and my mind has been diverted with completing several pivotal projects but from next week…it's back to business as it should be. More posts, more information and more news as I progress on the next leg of my journey. Watch this space…
Professional Qualifications in Denmark with the dff
As I am constantly travelling and delivering education, training and mentoring of a global basis, I thought I'd give some thought in this post to the differences of delivery to the dff, the world's second oldest organisation for professional photographers. So here goes….
A synopsis of the two different level workshops.
- Master
- Qualified Master
The Workshop for aspiring 'Masters' (BIPP and MPA Licentiate equivalent) covers the minimum basic requirements to qualify as a dff "Master' photographer. The key elements of camera craft, lighting, composition and posing (where appropriate in people photography) are examined and developed in a mixed theory/practical workshop. Demonstrations are given in posing and handling groups in particular. Simplistic but effective lighting techniques are demonstrated and discussed illustrating the better known and used lighting patterns. Individual appraisals are undertaken of each applicants work and in group format, planning, presentation and layout for a digital submission is introduced as another essential element for success.
The Workshop for aspiring 'Qualified Masters' (BIPP and MPA Associate equivalent) examines not only the more substantial requirements to achieve a higher level of qualification but also instils the need to understand and practice self appraisal in a constructively critical manner. This is not simply a 'top up' of the M workshop as it requires a fresh start by all candidates where there can be little or no reliance on a current and past portfolio. Attaining a higher degree of qualification requires a serious commitment and investment in your future. Increased standards of imaging and ethics undoubtedly result in a better client experience. There are obviously a few areas of common ground between all levels of qualification but these escalate exponentially as the levels and requirements rise. This is a dynamic workshop integrating discussions and planning sessions focussing on personal continuous professional development. Lateral thought will be encouraged and a better understanding of the importance and implications of one to one Mentoring discussed. Your trainer will also explain in detail the systematic approach to conceptualising, planning and executing a person project as the base of your qualification.
If you're interested in progressing your professional qualifications or simply improving the standard of your imaging, contact me.
The Photography of Fatma Fahmy – Egypt
First a quote from this young lady rationalising her photography and the motivation behind it.
"Photography is another world to me. It allows me to live different lives of different people. It allows me to stop moments in time by capturing them to show the world the beauty that possessed my heart and soul and make it last forever. I wish I could affect people's lives with this magnificent art."
Fatma Fahmy – Cairo, Egypt
For this post I have decided to review a number of images submitted to me last month. The collection are well crafted and composed showing a variety of content that adds credence to her statement. They are a combination of what in the west we would call 'Street Photography' and more controlled, observational portraiture.
This image entitled "Eye Contact" does exactly what it says. It directly engages with the viewer with a delightfully captured expression that shows the happiness of a child no mater what his domestic environment, social background, living conditions or wealth. Simplicity is golden here and one cannot fail to empathise with this little boy. If one of the tools of a photographer is to create images that contain a story, then the story of this child's life is is to be written by the viewer based upon its content. In truth, the off centre composition is not particularly necessary and does not add power or dynamics. The subject could have been centrally placed for that matter as the viewer finds it virtually impossible to stray their gaze from those eyes that express a simple, joy of life.
As a contrast, quite a lot of work has gone into this image, photographically with good control of depth of field, compositionally by careful subject placement and in post processing where the problems lie. My best advice to Fatma is 'less is more' and although this is a good composition, a clear storyline, convincingly engaged subject, the processing has left a few artefacts and issues that could easily be resolved. When such processing issues are visible they can detract from the all important content contained in the image, the subject themselves and the narrative.

Ahmed Gaber – Aged 19 – A young Egyptian Photographer with something to say
The next in my series of constructive critiques of the work of young Egyptian photographers. When I asked Mohamed Mahdy to arrange this I could not have hoed for a more enthusiastic group of young people.
This image entitled "Break Time" shows great insight and a natural flair for composition in its simplistic, documentary approach. It just goes to show that his opening statement is humble as he clearly demonstrates a budding talent with a good eye for an image.
Even thought there are differing points of subject engagement and interest, Ahmed has worked hard on subject placement within the frame and constraints of his DSLR. All to often we hear the terms "fill the frame", but to do so effectively one should ensure that the content is properly constrained. He has grasped the premise that space around subjects is golden. To enable them to live and breathe giving life and credibility to the animation. 'Street' images of this kind are not all about exercising absolute control of your subjects. Rather to affect the composition by placing yourself in the right place and controlling the content of you capture. Well done Ahmed, I can some great images will emerge from this young image maker.

Doctors at Hadassah Medical Center said they would start a full strike if they do not receive the salary owed to them.
Staff members on Sunday threatened to go on a full strike the following day unless they receive the remaining half of their unpaid salaries by midnight, the Times of Israel reported.
They received only half their January salaries due to the center's $367 million deficit.
The doctors at Hadassah's two campuses have been on partial strike, offering only urgent treatment on a Sabbath and holiday schedule for nearly a week.
Doctors in all of Israel's hospitals went on a two-hour strike on Sunday morning in solidarity with the Hadassah staff.
Israel's Health Minister Yael German announced a financial recovery package offered to the hospital, including a government loan of more than $14 million to be matched by Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, Haaretz reported.
The announcement came after the hospital on Friday filed for court protection against its creditors, including employees filing to receive back salaries, after two Israeli banks cut off their lines of credit, according to reports.
The money from the government and Hadassah would allow the hospital to continue operating, but not to pay the back salaries.
Haaretz reported that the court trustee in the case will not take over management of the hospital.
Hadassah Medical Center is one of the largest hospitals in Israel and the only one specializing in head trauma.

I just uptated to the most recent version of simpletap to get the rotate screen tile and now i do not have the screen brightness icon. Is there any way to make a custom icon to do this ? X201 running windows 7 64bit.
Anyone else having this problem ?
05-28-2011 06:38 AM - edited 05-28-2011 08:03 AM
Yes, my screen brightness tab has disappeared!
My Simple Tap version is 1.2.0005. So not the very latest.
Strangely, the screen brightness tile has reappeared this afternoon. It was not there this morning. The only thing that I think bring it back is that my computer went in standby during the day. I noticed SimpleTap seems to close or go to whatever state when the computer goes in standby because Simple Tap always takes longer to start the first time after resume. So I assume it resets or something. The tile is back. I hope it stays. If not I will probably kill Simple Tap and restart it.

I had a lower bleph 2 years ago and some fat was left in the corner of my eye. I had the first op by an incision made just under the eyelashes. My surgeon is happy to see me with the possibility of doing a revision. Should I have this done from inside the eye? I just want to know the risks involved in a second procedure and want to know what can go wrong?This surgeon is a general plastic surgeon or should I go to a specialised oculoplastic surgeon for this type of procedure?
Is a Second Blepharoplasty Risky?
Doctor Answers 6
Is a Second Blepharoplasty Risky?
Yes, the fat can likely be removed from inside the eye. The term general applied to plastic surgeons can be a bit misleading. Plastic surgeons who have gone through integrated training programs represent the top % of all medical doctors in terms of talent and intellect. This is the most competitive residency pathway by an overwhelming margin. In addition, the training involves 6 or more years after medical school with these very talented surgeons. Finally, some plastic surgeons like myself do hundreds of eyelid and facial surgeries in addition to hundreds of body surgeries each year.
Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com/Upper-and-Lower-Eyelids.php
Secondary eyelid surgery is always riskier than primary.
If there is a small amount of redundant that after lower lid blepharoplasty trans conjunctival approach might be the preferred route. Any secondary operation is riskier than the primary.
Web reference: http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,22-atlanta-eyelid.htm
Revision blepharoplasty
If you just need fat removal, a transconjunctival approach may be satisfactory to remove the excess fat.
You might also like...
Risks with revising a lower blepharoplasty.....
Revising a prior lower bleph to remove more fat is a challenging procedure but the risks of weakening the lower eyelid muscle are lower approaching it via a transconjunctival approach. That said, lower blepharoplasty is one of the most technically challenging of facial plastic procedures and the experience of the surgeon is an important factor. Have the consult and discuss your options with your surgeon and obtain a second opinion if not convinced.
Revision of the lower eyelid after a blepharoplasty
A blepharoplasty is a technically challenging procedure and there are many methods used to perform the procedure. Every method has its risk and benefits. If only fat is to be removed then the transconjunctival approach is an excellent method especially for revision procedures where not enough fat was removed from one of the three pockets of the lower eyelid. There is no substitute for skill and experience with these operations.
Unfortunately, the particular specialty of your surgeon does not protect you from complications.
Having said that, general plastic surgeons are less likely to use the transconjunctival approach to the lower eyelid. The plastic surgery literature underplays the risk of making an incision under the eye lashes to remove lower eyelid fat. The majority of lower eyelid complications arise from the use of this incision. Removal of the lateral fat pocket is tricky business because when you lay flat on the operating room table, this knuckle of fat is hard to locate.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Chaves County emergency services receives helping hand
In preparation for the upcoming wildfire season, New Mexico Wing Civil Air Patrol signed a letter of understanding with Chaves County last week, making it easier for it to respond to local emergencies.
Authorities say the agreement allows the city of Roswell and Chaves County emergency manager to bypass state channels by directly requesting air support or other emergency services from NMCAP, a civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force that conducts search and rescue missions and disaster relief operations.
"This is going to be such an assistance to us in doing damage assessment or locating emergency situations from the air, so we are really looking forward to the agreement, and welcome it,†Teresa Barncastle, Roswell and Chaves County emergency manager, said.
Civil Air Patrol assets [auth] were already made available to EMS, Sheriff and local fire and police agencies per a 2009 memorandum of understanding between the Civil Air Patrol New Mexico Wing and the New Mexico Department of Military Affairs.
But, according to Mike Lee, squadron commander for the Roswell NMCAP, called Southwest Region-082 Roswell Composite, in order to request services, one had to "climb the chain of command,â€â€ˆwhich in-cluded calls to him, the wing commander and eventually reaching the National Operating Center, headquartered at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala.
The letter states that any local Chaves County entity can request NMCAP assistance by calling the city of Roswell/Chaves County Office of Emergency Management, who, in turn, will call the Civil Air Patrol National Operations Center, which would assign the mission a number and call NMCAP to activate the operation.
Col. Richard Himebrook, NM Wing Commander, said Roswell is the third county in the state to sign such an agreement, following Lincoln and San Miguel counties. Himebrook added that time is of the essence when dealing with a natural disaster or search and rescue mission.
Lt. Col. David Mac-Lauchlan, director of emergency services of NMCAP, said that the letter of understanding helps "speed up the process†by eliminating paperwork and bureaucratic red tape.
Jon Hitchcock, the sole search and rescue officer for NMCAP's emergency services, says the "real beauty†of the agreement is that there's no likely cost associated with it.
"If the Air Force determines that it's a mission that they can accept, then it's covered under their funding and their allocations of funds to us, to the state wing,†Hitchcock said. "If they decide to refuse a mission, which has never happened, then the state or the New Mexico wing could accept it as a state mission, and that's when they would seek reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs.â€
Lee said there are 16 NMCAP aircraft placed strategically throughout the state to respond to emergencies. SWR-082 Roswell Composite services all of Southeastern New Mexico and has one plane, a Cessna 182. He says the after all the snow Roswell received this winter, grass fires will be a hazard this upcoming spring.
"That's one of the reasons we really pushed it through,†he said.

·What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds.
don't you just love how often sellers of sewing machines only provide pictures of the back? I don't see that with "guy" tools.
Don't know, but from the top it sure looks like the one I learned to sew on. Circa late 40's. Sewed well and made the most beautiful buttonholes ever.

It is a Kenmore sewing machine. I am not sure but I think they were made in the 50s.
It's a rotary type model from Kenmore. I love vintage machines, but these are my least favorite. They tend to be very limited in my experience. They're pulley driven and are kind of cool, but the brown finish and shape of the machine are visually a real turn off to me...I had one and gave it away.
That looks like the machine I learned to sew on. I inherited it from my mom. It was sold by Sears--Kenmore and Janome are made by the same company, but I don't know if they were at the time that machine was made. They are very heavy and I'm guessing that it was made in the l940's.
I'm with Candace. They were made by White for Sears. It is not the most attractive machine that's for sure! I won't buy pulley driven machines simply because I think a lot of the power is wasted and it is a PITA to find and replace the pulley. I could be lazy, but that is my story and I'm sticking to it.
Years ago, when my Grandmother passed away, Dad and my Aunt were looking for a new home for Grandma's old Kenmore. I didn't take it....none of my cousin's wanted it either....That old machine was a PITA and drove my Grandma crazy...why would we want to take it home?
She was eventually sold at an estate sale for almost nothing....

I had a similar model in a cabinet, built in 1948. I serviced it, went over the cabinet with some Howards Refinisher, and sold it for $35 a few months ago. It was a solid straight stitcher with all the attachments and a copy of the manual. It ran really well after I oiled it up and refilled the grease tubes. But they just aren't attractive and don't sell well even if they are in good shape.
I just saw the pulley parts at sew-classic
NEVER let a sewing machine know you are in a hurry.

Don't forget about Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha had a large surge of traffic a few months back when it launched and was lauded by some as "the Google killer".
"Killer" it was not, nor was it ever intended to be. It is a different kind of animal altogether, but it should not be forgotten about.
I have kept using Alpha for anything that I dont think Google can do. I am not exactly in the market for high maths and the like, but I like the curated aspect of Wolfram Alpha: I trust its answers. If my question is vague it doesn't try and match me with the closets random answer, it tells me that it does not know what I am asking.
I have put together a number of queries where Wolfram Alpha outstrips Google:
Google, Wolfram Alpha – The result is a runaway success for Wolfram, it lists all the possible information I would want if I were searching for the colour equivalent of this hash.
Blue + red
Google, Wolfram Alpha – This set of results is much sneakier, as adding up colours is probably a long way away from Google. Wolfram does have the advantage here because of its mathematical background, but it's still a job well done.
Population of South Africa vs population of United Kingdom
Google, Wolfram alpha – This one is actually a good testament to Wolframs interpretation of an almost natural language request. Google still does its normal word association looking for the string in various texts on the web – Wolfram goes straight ahead and understands the intent of the query. Although it struggles with some semantics I am finding a few that work very well.
Obviously Google would excel at traditional web queries like celebrity or history and can get everything that Wolfram Alpha presents – it just takes another click or two. The nice thing about Wolfram Alpha is the thouroughness of the results: they are very specific. For example "lilac + mauve" could either be a comparison of two plants (I didn't know there was a mauve plant either) or a mix of two colours. The interface is quite simple and helpful and the information offered about the plant is quite comprehensive. In the plant example there is a lot of potential and it would be very easy for the Wolfram team to insert factors like leaf shape, height of plant, seasonal facts and so on.
I don't think we should disregard Wolfram Alpha just yet. The team are always coming up with new innovations and expanding on the volume of data they can sift through to answer your question.

Laser rhinoplasty?
If the appearance of your nose concerns you, I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) with extensive experience in performing nasl procedures that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

I am not clear what the role of the laser in your rhinoplasty would be. I would make sure you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon and find out specifically what the role of the laser is. Good luck.

Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Just Wondering if a Dr Would Consider Helping Me with my Request for a Free Lsl
Doctor Answers 2
Free surgery
You could write to LSL and request their help. You could write to dr.Phil. Perhaps a unversity needs a patient to demondtrae or teach on or for televison.Check with universiy plastic surgery programs.
I'm very sorry for your loss...
As you know, grieving can be a very long and agonizing process. People experience an entire range of emotions. I have no idea how long it has been since the death of your family or where you are in the recovery process. I always advise patients who are in the midst of intense emotional stress to refrain from seeking cosmetic augmentation until they are fully recovered.
I would be very cautious about seeking free services from any surgeon. Free surgery almost always comes with strings attached and can lead to a very strained relationship between the surgeon and the patient. Give yourself time to heal and, if possible, save for a procedure in the future.

When we secured a free parking spot we hopped on the train and ventured into the city, finding it at once as clean and open as ever. The station was called 'Arc Del Triomf' where there was a little red Parisian like arch. Appropriate, but some what unimaginatively named. There was however an awesome old dude on a pushbike that had a side-car for his little dog.
The city of Barcelona has enormously wide avenues like that of New York, only these streets were so wide and you never got closed in on like a lot of other big cities.
Cities that are similar in style are Paris and Vienna
This guy made all these flamboyant buildings throughout the city, organic, colourful, and downright bizarre. The first and most important building we sought out was his cathedral 'La Sagrada Familia', an unfinished but outstanding thing to behold. Looking like some kind of coral springing out of the stone. There is nothing like it.
We walked and walked and walked, awed by the architecture throughout the city including several other of Gaudi's, all rainbowed in colourful random mosaic.
There was something different in this city that was quite hard to define. There certainly was no seedy aspect to it, which was incredible, but it seemed like the richest culture of art and design we had seen anywhere, as if the city truly had love and passion bursting at every corner
We visited the national gallery and ventured down the gardens, then into the marina.
When night had come we walked through the medieval district, then into the gothic cathedral. Every little corner would have an amazing musician playing away.
We did having a hard time leaving, not because it was awesome or anything, but because we became lost and disoriented. And the fact that we had worn our walking feet to nubs didn't help much either.
We were so genuinely impressed by Barcelona, without a bad word to say about it. It was such an awesome day together and we both agree that it is our favorite (modernish) city in the EU (and English is spoken well, the weed dealers even speak well). We would definitely welcome another trip back again. Perhaps in 2025 when Gaudi's cathedral is complete.

State Higher Education Relies Heavily on Adjunct Teachers
By Martin Salazar
Copyright © 2009 Albuquerque Journal
Journal Staff Writer
Until recently, Bill Nevins taught an average of five classes a term at Central New Mexico Community College just to eke out a modest living.
"I was happy for the work," Nevins said. But he added that it often meant commuting to several different campuses and teaching whatever writing and composition classes were offered to him.
Despite his heavy course load, Nevins was a part-time CNM employee. He made between $25,000 and $30,000 a year.
Nevins' story isn't unique. Across the country, colleges and universities are using more part-time faculty. And many of those part-timers take on large course loads just to make a middle-class living.
Colleges say the practice gives them flexibility to keep up with student needs and to hire professionals who are experienced and up-to-date in their fields.
In New Mexico, a study commissioned by the Legislature and issued in December 2007 by the Higher Education Department found that 54 percent of faculty at the state's colleges and universities are classified as part-time.
The study also found that part-time instructors in this state earn about $880 per credit hour, just above half of what full-time, non-tenure track instructors make at four-year institutions.
State Rep. Danice Picraux, D-Albuquerque, sponsored the legislation calling for the study.
"I wanted the study done so we could see where we were at and we could make a plan ...," said Picraux, who teaches at the College of Santa Fe. "We're using them in a regular way. Let's regularize their employment status in some way."
The ranks of part-time faculty are swelling rapidly as colleges reach for the cheaper alternative to hiring permanent instructors or tenured and tenure-track faculty, according to a national report released last month by the Modern Language Association.
It cautions that the unprecedented shift toward more poorly paid, part-time instructors may compromise the learning experiences of students and contribute to higher college dropout rates.
The report states that part-time faculty now make up 40 percent of those teaching English in four-year institutions and 68 percent in two-year institutions.
At CNM — the state's largest community college — 66 percent of faculty in all fields are part-time and 67 percent who teach freshmen and sophomore English classes are part time.
"Since most of CNM's programs are designed to meet the needs of business and industry in the region, many of CNM's part-time instructors are current full-time professionals in the fields they are teaching at CNM, which provides CNM students with the most current and relevant instruction in their field," spokesman Brad Moore said.
At the University of New Mexico, tenured and tenure-track faculty made up 38.9 percent of total faculty in 2006, the most recent year available. Temporary faculty, or part-timers, comprise 27.9 percent. That figure doesn't include graduate teaching assistants or lecturers hired on a permanent basis just to teach.
UNM's English department had 31 part-time or adjunct faculty, excluding graduate students, and 30.5 tenure track faculty.
At the College of Arts & Sciences, senior associate dean Phillip Gonzales said the hiring of adjuncts has been a creative way to provide classes that students need.
"What has happened is that the entrance of students to universities has outstripped the ability of universities to be able to keep up in terms of tenure-track hires," Gonzales said. "There are budgetary reasons for that."
He said another benefit of hiring part-time instructors is flexibility, because they can be hired as needed.
"As long as the people who are doing the contract teaching are well-trained, then, on the level of the instruction (students) get, there is no disadvantage," Gonzales said. "At UNM, we have adjunct instructors that have (doctorates), and so on the level of classroom experience itself, I don't believe there is a negative loss."
Adjunct faculty members who teach on semester-to-semester contracts are frequently paid less than their full-time counterparts, and they have fewer rights.
Two weeks before the semester that just ended, Nevins received a letter notifying him that his services were no longer needed. He had been scheduled to teach five courses.
CNM won't discuss the case publicly, but college officials maintain that they were within their rights to handle the case as they did. The American Association of University Professors, a national faculty group, is investigating. Meanwhile, Nevins is scheduled to start teaching part-time writing classes at UNM's Valencia campus later this month.
Christine Rack, a part-time sociology instructor at UNM who has a doctorate, is paid $3,500 for each course she teaches. She said she survives on about $21,000 a year.
"It's really a heck of a lot of work for very little money," she said. Rack said that, during the first five years she taught at UNM, part-time faculty received no raises.
"It was weird because the whole university would get a raise, and I wouldn't get a cent," she said. The university has provided modest raises to part-time instructors for the last two years, she said.
"Pay us like real employees," she said. "We are state employees. We work hard. We deserve to be compensated."

|Trade deadline: C's may benefit from Warriors move
|03.14.12 at 12:56 pm ET
SAN FRANCISCO — The Celtics may or may not make a deal before Thursday's trade deadline, but they have already benefited from the process. While they were en route to the Bay Area, the Warriors pulled off a five-player trade that cost them Monta Ellis, Kwame Brown and Ekpe Udoh to Mliwaukee for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson.
The move subtracts Golden State's leading scorer in Ellis and a plus-minus monster in Udoh. It didn't stop the Warriors from hammering the Kings by 26 points on Tuesday night but with Ellis gone and Steph Curry out with a sprained ankle, they started old friend Nate Robinson and rookie Klay Thompson in the backcourt. Golden State also started David Lee and Andris Biedrinis, but without Udoh their frontcourt depth is even thinner than the Celtics.
Bogut is out with a sprained ankle, but when healthy he could become the kind of interior defensive presence the Warriors have sought for years. As SI's Zach Lowe points out, they made a run at Tyson Chandler and DeAndre Jordan this past offseason before settling on Brown. Jackson is a complete wild card in more ways that one, but regardless, neither player should be on the floor for Golden State on Wednesday. (In a nice twist, the Bucks visit Golden State on Friday).
The move impacts the Celtics in another way as they will be in Milwaukee on Thursday. The Bucks have moved into a tie with the Knicks for the 8th playoff spot in the East and it will be interesting to see how the Brandon Jennings-Ellis backcourt meshes.
|Warriors send Monta Ellis to Bucks for Andrew Bogut, Stephen Jackson
|03.13.12 at 9:24 pm ET
Golden State has agreed to a deal that would send guard Monta Ellis and two players to Milwaukee for center Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson, according to Yahoo! Sports. According to multiple reports, the Bucks also will receive forward Ekpe Udoh and center Kwame Brown.
The 27-year-old Bogut, who was the first overall pick of Milwaukee in the 2005 draft, has been dogged by injury over the course of his career. He's averaged 12.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in his seven years in the NBA. The 33-year-old Jackson — a fan favorite in the Bay Area when he played with the Warriors from January 2007 until November 2009 — also brings a jolt of offense to Golden State, as he's averaged 16.1 points per game since he arrived in the league in 2000.
Ellis, in his seventh year in the league, has career averages of 19.6 points and 4.4 assists.
The Celtics will get their opportunity to see the new-look Warriors right out of the gate — Boston will face Golden State Wednesday in the Bay Area.
|Even Ray Allen finds it hard to believe how open he was
|03.05.11 at 12:12 am ET
Ray Allen could only imagine what Warriors fans were thinking when he was unconscious in the first half, drilling all four 3-point attempts on his was to 20 points and a 64-53 Celtics lead at the break.
'Well, I think I'm the one guy that you look up and ask yourself, 'How did he get so wide open in the corner?' I think that everybody is thinking that ' everybody in the Bay Area is thinking that early in the game," said Allen, who finished with 27 in Boston's 107-103 win over those defenseless Warriors.
"You don't really look at Paul [Pierce] and he's wide open, and Jeff [Green] was wide open several times, Nenad [Krstic] was open a couple times; when Rondo get to the basket, I think that's as the result of all the guys on the floor and the plays that we run."
Good thing Allen's sore right knee healed in time so he could play. But ice and a stat sheet that shows that Golden State is 28th of 30 NBA teams in points allowed can make you healthy in a hurry.
'He shoots the ball pretty well most days," coach Doc Rivers said. "He's just an amazing shooter, he really is. And what's more amazing is how many times he's wide open. It's just remarkable when you think about it, the Reggie Millers, I've been on teams where before the game the coach is, 'Do not give this guy an open shot' and you turn around and he's standing there all by himself. It's just amazing how they find the open spots.'
"You just make sure you run, make a sharp cut, stay spaced, and if a team has to double, you know that someone has to be open," Allen explained.
But you get open with great defense. And when Monta Ellis wasn't lighting up the Celtics as part of a 41-point night [matching Kobe Bryant for most by an opponent this year], the Celtics were playing enough defensive to allow them to get out in transition.
"The defensive end is really where it starts because when we get stops like that and we force them to miss, and then I'm gone. I don't even wait, I just get to the corner. They have to get to the paint, and Rondo, he knows where I'm at so I just have to make sure that I'm ready.'
As for that bothersome knee, he wasn't out on a driving range on Thursday but rather just resting. "Driving range? Who said that?"
Informed it was his coach, Allen replied, "And where am I going to hit golf balls at?"
He then turned slightly more serious when asked just how sore were his legs to require a day off from practice.
"My knee was bothering me a little bit. I just had a little bit of soreness in there that I worked through over the last day and a half," Allen said. "Coming in this morning, it felt similar and I was kind of taking it hour-by-hour and seeing how it felt when I got down here and when I got down here, it felt better.
"This morning I just came in and got treatment and just try to play it by ear. That's why I have a suit on in case I was on the bench. I honestly thought when I came down here, there might be a chance but I came down here as usual to be ready to play. It's hard from one day to the next and then the day before say, 'I'm not playing tomorrow' because you feel a little soreness. You have to get in there and really put your body to the test and get it better. I got treatment and ice and by the time I got down here, I shot and felt a lot better and here I am."
|Ray Allen: 'Anything Can Happen'
|02.03.10 at 10:32 pm ET
Ray Allen has been around long enough to know anything is possible.
When Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge called a meeting with Allen, the veteran was appreciative of the organization's efforts to keep him in the loop with the trading deadline approaching.
Even though Allen had disciplined himself to ignore the rumors, they are hard to avoid when an expiring contract has made him the focal point of rumors floating around the NBA circuit. The most talked-about report had Golden State interested in sending Monta Ellis to Boston in exchange for Allen.
Because of this, Ainge wanted to clear the air. He met with Allen and his family for half-an-hour at the Celtics training facility on Tuesday in Waltham.
'We talked yesterday and he just wanted me to know that he hasn't done anything or tried anything to seek out a trade,' Allen told WEEI.com prior to Wednesday's Celtics-Heat game. 'He just, based off of what he feels that we've done for the organization on and off the floor, he was like I just owe it to you so that you know there's nothing that's been done on my behalf. It's just teams inquiring, natural NBA business.'
[Click here to hear what Ray Allen said about all of the rumors swirling and his meeting with Ainge.]
Ainge reiterated to WEEI's Big Show on Wednesday that he has not had any conversations regarding a trade that would move Allen. He felt it was unlikely that the Celtics would find a deal that would help them with a title both this season and in the future. Their priority, Ainge said, is winning now.
And besides, they like having Allen on the court.
'We want Ray,' Ainge said. 'We think Ray is a huge part of our winning a championship this year.'
Allen does not doubt the Celtics appreciation of his game and contributions to the Boston community. In addition to his Ray of Hope Foundation, the Allens became heavily involved with the Joslin Diabetes Center after their son Walker was diagnosed in 2008.
At the same time, there is a reality of the game. While Ainge said the Celtics have not actively sought out a trade nor have they been 'anywhere near or had any discussion,' that does not mean they wouldn't entertain talks either.
After 14 years in the league, Allen understands how it works.
'I really understand that this is a business and I got traded when I was the least one to be traded when I was in Milwaukee. So anything can happen. Anything can happen,' Allen said. 'There's nobody that's really untouchable in this league, so I appreciated his candidness, letting me know and letting my wife know, and my boys were in the office running around. You always hate to see people do business behind your back and kind of not keep you alert, so it just spoke volumes of who he is and as a GM doing his job.
'But, you know, he still could. I don't know. It depends on what is thrown out there. So it's not that I worry about it. It's a business. My job still has to be done the same.'

Deaths of real life people immortalized in 'World of Warcraft'
Sometimes when a player of World of Warcraft dies in the real world, their friends will erect a memorial in-game. And here's a video that highlights just a few.
When I first saw the following on Kotaku, I thought the tributes were for characters that had passed away, not the people who controlled them. So instead of goofy causes of death, like eaten by a dragon or smother, it's something very real and not exactly funny, like cancer.
I know it's an odd choice to kick a Monday off with, though I'm confident many will appreciate the clip nonetheless. Also, when I die, I hope some blue wizard shows up to my gravesite and does a spell so flowers grow and deer can graze upon the grass that's nearby…
But still, I can't help but be reminded of the follow, of the epic WoW funeral crashers. Perfect for those who want a hearty laugh, especially after the rather somber and admittedly depressing video above.
For those who don't know the details: someone beloved in a clan passed away (again, in the real world), so everyone decided to have a funereal in game. Thing is, it took place in a PvP server, and because they decided not to come armed (for whatever reason), it left them WIDE open.
It also features the best use of a Misfits song, ever…
