Get the Palace newsletter
21:41 22nd February 2011
Palace returned from the south coast empty handed after a dogged display saw them overcome by an excellent Pompey side after David Nugent's second half strike.
Dougie Freedman made one change from the side that beat Sheffield United as Sean Scannell came in for Wilfried Zaha after impressing as a substitute and Palace started brightly as Paddy McCarthy headed wide from a corner in the opening five minutes.
It didn't take Portsmouth long to hit their stride though as they got the ball down and, with their strike-force linking well, looked to get the ball forward early and to feet. A dangerous ball in from Jonathan Hogg led to their first chance which Joel Ward nodded just wide, although Julian Speroni was adjudged to have been fouled in the build-up.
Anthony Gardner then had a great chance to give the Eagles the lead as he rose highest to meet a Darren Ambrose corner but headed the ball back across goal when he should have done better.
Pompey soon began to look like the side that had just been relegated from the Premier League with a succession of dangerous attacks. First Gardner doing well for Palace with a sliding challenge as Dave Kitson almost got through on goal, then David Nugent scuffed wide with Pompey playing the ball around on the deck impressively.
The best chance of the half though came from a long throw from Greg Halford which the outstanding David Cotterill just missed at the far post, when any touch would have meant a goal. Nugent then showed his class cutting inside well from a diagonal ball and seeing his shot was blocked by Speroni, the ball fell to Cotterill who should have opened the scoring but blazed over the bar from nine yards.
Palace were weathering the storm well with Paddy McCarthy clearing well after Ritchie De Laet had burst into the box and done well to cut the ball back. Then a lovely passing move that started with a De Laet cruyff-turn ended with David Nugent flashing the ball across goal for the last goalmouth action of the half.
Pompey came again at the start at the start of the second half with Nugent heading wide from a dangerous right-wing cross and then McCarthy clearing well from another dangerous Cotterill delivery. A foul on Scannell at the start of the second half gave Darren Ambrose a chance from a free-kick but his strike hit the wall and Pompey broke through Dave Kitson who was held back just outside the box. Halford stepping up for Pompey and blasting his free-kick past the wall but too close to Speroni who saved well.
Minutes later though Portsmouth were ahead as a long throw from Cotterrill was flicked on by Kitson and fell for Nugent in the box who struck the ball first time, into the ground and over Speroni to give Portsmouth a 1-0 lead. The Eagles were almost level immediately when a Darren Ambrose delivery fell for McCarthy who timed his run perfectly but headed a good chance just wide.
Another Cotterill ball in caused havoc in the area with Speroni just doing enough as Kitson looked well placed to double Portsmouth's advantage as Freedman threw caution to the wind with the introduction of Steffen Iversen, Wilfried Zaha and Jermaine Easter.
Zaha's introduction almost proved vital when he broke free down the left and whipped in a good ball that Halford did well to clear. McCarthy then one Palace a free-kick deep into Pompey territory as the game entered addded time but it came to nothing as Porsmouth held out for all three points.

"The walls of my office are lined with letters complaining about managing agents," says Barry Gardiner MP, a veteran campaigner on leasehold reform. "The cases range from not keeping the building in good and decent repair to improper administration of monies." Mr Gardiner this week repeated his call for man aging agents to be subjected to independent scrutiny. "If past form is anything to go by we cannot rely on the industry regulating itself."
Anyone can set up as a managing agent, although many belong to the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Agents do not have to attend courses or receive training.
But Nigel Wilkins of the Campaign for the Abolition of Residential Leasehold, says unscrupulous freeholders use the system to milk leaseholders. "If a lease states that a managing agent should be appointed to manage the block, the freeholder can set up a separate 'management company' and run the block themselves," says Wilkins.
When it comes to commissioning repairs, there are opportunities for dodgy agents to gain personally from awarding contracts to friendly suppliers.
In its consultation paper on leasehold reform published last November, the government noted: "It is difficult for people or bodies with responsibilities for managing leasehold property either to select a managing agent with confidence... or to acquire the knowledge and skills required for themselves, other than through trial and error 'on the job'."
David Hewett, executive secretary of ARMA, says most managing agents do a good job. However, even he acknowledges the sector has an image problem. "We are all in favour of greater safeguards. But our members already have to have insurance and properly audited accounts," he says.
ARMA and RICS members are also expected to abide by a good practice guide that governs everything from keeping clients' money to commissioning repairs and complaints procedures for dissatisfied leaseholders.
Mr Gardiner agrees that ARMA, whose members manage blocks of flats, is trying to improve standards. "But until they give themselves the power to fine members and publish the names of members who violate the code of practice, they have no teeth," he says.
"We have removed a number of companies from membership because they are not able to comply with our insurance or auditing requirements," Mr Hewett responds.
Mr Gardiner claims to have brought cases of poor practice to ARMA's attention. When the complaints began to be investigated the companies left the organisation.
Leaseholders unhappy with how a block is run or angry about sky-high service charges can apply to a Leasehold Valuation Tribunal (LVT) and ask them to appoint a manager. If the tribunal agrees, the landlord ceases to have management control over the building. The new manager is answerable to the tribunal alone.
In August, the government will publish a draft bill setting out plans to overhaul leasehold laws and introduce a new form of tenure called commonhold. Under the new system, leaseholders would be able to manage their block without proving the freeholder was at fault and without having to acquire the freehold to the property.
"Leaseholders may want to employ a managing agent to do the work for them," says Mr Hewett.
Mr Wilkins argues that the introduction of a "no fault" right to manage is not enough: "The landlord will have the right to object and appeal to the LVT. If the block consists of only half a dozen flats, few leaseholders would have the resources to fight him."
Mr Gardiner argues for a two-pronged attack involving both greater leaseholders' rights and regulation of managing agents.

Finally, Coast 2 Coast is a mammoth mode that melds all of these different challenges. You pick from a number of flagmen - the rotund chaps who wave you off the starting line - or girls and complete their missions.
The flagmen pose racing type missions, with you sprinting through the stages against a number of rivals in a race to finish first, with drifting challenges appearing along the way.
For each girl, you'll have to meet a different kind of demand. Clarissa likes thrills, and sets missions that need speed to complete; Jennifer goes for technique, and wants you to perform inch-perfect drifts and cornering; Holly likes her men with brains - she throws up maths questions that you have to solve, or makes you drive through a particular type of icon on the track.
Get it wrong, and the girls will make sure you know how disappointed they are.
There are roughly 100 different missions in Coast 2 Coast mode, the most challenging of all pitting you against 99 rivals in an epic race over 15 stages to the ultimate goal.
OutRun 2006 isn't an average racing game and, even though the gameplay may sound simple and old-school, there are few games - and even fewer racing games - that are so utterly pleasing, yet so easy to get involved with.
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast pulls up on PSP, Xbox, PS2 and PC on 31 March, and if this hands-on preview reads like a review without a score, that's down to the reliability of OutRun; you know what you're getting, and it's always good.
The series might have its doubters, but we'd like to bet that Coast 2 Coast will convert more than a few newcomers to the cult of the arcade racer. It's going to be oh-so-excellent to watch it happen.


text: CRITICAL THEORY, WRITING THE SELF, AND WRITING CULTURE Bolter's Chapters 8, 9 &10 Presented by Carol Manget-Johnson Critical Theory in the New Writing Space Revisiting the past 1960's & 1970's Debate in the academy- nature and uses of literature. Electronic writing played a minimal role. Traditional readers and critics vs. theories of postructuralists, postmodernists, neoMarxists, feminists and postfeminists, and postcolonialists. Hypertext was ignored and electronic mass media criticized as ideologically driven- by most of the academy. Then comes the World Wide Web – those academics [espousing poststructuralists and postmodern theories] who were interested in hypertext and hypermedia linked this new form of writing with various critical theories, and they were the ones who have moved away from the traditional way of understanding literary texts In 1997 George Landow in Hypertext 2.0:The convergence of contemporary critical theory and technology aligns hypertext with poststructural critical theory in what he calls "convergence." His position has prevailed among many opponents and proponents. Question: Which other theory besides poststructural may undergird hypertext? Critical Theory in the New Writing Space (cont'd) Electronic writing technology- has flexibility, has various forms of representation, embodies a multiplicity of critical theories including the most traditional. The computer's use today preparation of most printed books for publication as a tool for photocomposition- it reinforces the stability and fixity associated with print, the traditional views of the nature of authorship and finally the economic dominance of major publishers and distributors But, electronic technology still seen as a threat to literary values and not as an extension, by the traditionalists. The material characteristics of computer technology does not fully determine the character of electronic writing though it may seem so. Question? What, then, does determine the character of electronic writing? Writing Technologies and the Literary Critical Tradition Before electronic writing Traditionally, the qualities of good literature were: Stability, monumentality, and authority Authors deserved credit and praise- e.g. Shakespeare, Homer. To the 4th & 5th century B.C. Greek poets and historians – The thrust of writing was to give permanence to ideas and extend human memory. The text was considered a monument to the deeds and actors it described. Thus, the written epic poems for Alexander the Great etc. 1st century A.D. and later the Roman revered Virgil, Cicero, Livy who were considered authorities whose works were the to be emulated. In general the concern seemed to be the immortality of the subject or the author depending on whether it was the Romans or Latin. Writing Technologies and the Literary Critical Tradition (cont'd) BUT, stability and monumentality were not entirely stable because the technology of the time could not guarantee preservation of written texts/manuscripts. Papyrus and parchment could deteriorate. There were issues of the texts being preserved and if they were, questions about accuracy due to scribal errors, diminished authority. THEN came the advent of the printing press which revolutionized the literary world. - texts were preserved with greater accuracy - printed copies of manuscripts had more authority than the manuscripts - old authorities were challenged by writers in print - printed words were harder to dismiss and the author more distant and inaccessible to the reader - the audience for popular and "elite" literature grew - intellectual growth of author and wealth increased creativity in 18th century, according to Martha Woodmanser. The authority of the author had expanded. What does Bolter mean by '19th century critics believed poets had special visionary powers? The End Of Authority Why?- Traditional views of literature and authorship undermined by work of academic theorists[ postmodern and culture studies], and the manner in which popular culture/the academic community have been utilizing electronic technology. How? - www facilitates web sites that are transient, casual and un-authoritative. Our culture has accepted and endorsed that. - theorists who support hypertext portray electronic writing as a flexible and responsive medium that challenges authority/fixity - Reputable sites contradicted by activist groups with an agenda - sites are not vetted for accuracy of content. Anyone can publish - literary theorists & historians disliked the idea of a canon because of the bias against minority & 3rdworld writers and the idea that it permits worship and forbids criticism (Scholes) Question- Are we sacrificing safety for individual freedom? The debate over the canon was really a debate over the purpose and nature of reading. For: William Bennett et al - [see Bennett p. 166] response- ". . .an important part of education. ." - claim of universality. - canon contains the best work of a tradition and its authors are vital to our culture. Every educated reader should be familiar with it. The End of Authority (cont'd) Against- Robert Scholes et al. - critical reading more difficult and conversation became like worship- too much emphasis on the greatness and uniqueness of the authors of the canon. Question: How could an ordinary reader hope to hold conversation with a great soul? - the best texts should be determined locally, by local conditions, limited and facilitated by local wisdom- no imposition by a central power [Scholes 167] - belief by traditionalists that there was a center to our culture, great works are static in importance and message, and great authors are authorities. - an obsession with assigning authorship and verifying texts that followed the industrial age of printing, the overriding objective being to capture every letter the written texts of people like Plato, Euripides or the Church Fathers. Hypertex and Poststructrualism Hypertext authors & theorists have encouraged us to look outside of traditional criticism to find a paradigm for electronic reading and writing. We should look at the work of poststructuralists (including reader response theory, semiotics and deconstruction) in the 1960's -1980's prior to the appearance of hyper fiction. Poststructuralists refers to the writers of this period whose primary concern was with making or unmaking of meaning in literary and other discourse. Poststructuralism no longer dominant discourse, however it clarifies the cultural significance of hypertext, and the reverse is true. Reader Response and the Architecture of Hypertext In 1970's and 1980's literary theorists emphasized the role of the reader who had been neglected in favor of the poet and then the poem, ever since the romantic period. Wolfgang Iser - reader must participate in the literary act by realizing the author's text - the text is an arena in which the author and reader participate in the game of imagination - the reading process always involves viewing the text through a perspective that is continually on the move, linking up the different phases - his description referred to printed texts, but characterizes the reading of hyperfiction too. The role of the reader in electronic fiction lies halfway between the customary role of author and reader in the medium of print. Electronic Signs Semiotics – 20th century theoretical discourse acquired a particular resonance for literary theory in the 1970's and 1980's through work of Umberto Eco What is semiotics? Study of signs and symbols individually and grouped. Founder- Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure as the study of "the life of signs within a society" Semiotics grew in the same cultural matrix that produced the computer In semiotic theory a sign is not a static thing, but rather a function, a relation between the signified and the signifier: it is the sign function that relates expression to contents. Eco argues that the signs in a text intermingle and interrelate , as points in a space whose coordinates are determined by the intersection of many codes (1976). Both the written page and the printed page are fields in the codes which can intersect, but the computer as hypertext claims to offer a more appropriate space for such intersections. Question: What impact has semiotics had on the construction of hypertexts? Deconstruction and Electronic Writing Deconstruction? Largely the creation of Jacques Derrida denotes a particular kind of reading, a method of criticism and a mode of analytical inquiry. Whew! I looked it up. Somehow I thought it had to do with taking something apart. Well ,maybe. He says the text "is a differential network, a fabric of traces referring endlessly to something other than itself, to other differential traces. Thus, the text overruns all the limits assigned to it so far" The poststructuralists claimed that the text was no more important than its interpretations, because it cannot be separated from its interpretations. The text in electronic space seems to have no necessary margins, no fixed boundaries except for the ultimate limitations of the machine. Because an electronic text can change with each reading, it may not make a univocal statement that invites deconstruction. Question: In one reading of afternoon , the narrator does not visit his lover's psychologists; in another he does. Which is the reading that needs subverting? (Bolter 182) New Convergences and Popular Forms The field of cultural studies has been concerned with visual as with verbal communication, as it explores magazines, film and television as well as books and newspapers for representations of and resistances to dominant ideologies. In addition to cultural studies of new media, a growing number of critics and theorists are directing their attention specifically to hypertext. Many are exploring relationships between hyperfiction and more popular media forms. Looking At and Looking Through Through a decade of experience with hypertext and hypermedia, we have come implicitly to regard oscillation between looking at and looking through, between transparency and hypermediacy, as a defining characteristic of this new writing space. Question: Does the speed of oscillation determine or define our experience of reading as hypertextual? The Practice of Theory 20th century authors of hyperfiction have become some of the most important theorists. Michael Joyce, Moulthrop, Jane Yellowlees Douglas, Terry Harpold etc. Literary practice and criticism have been regarded as dissimilar entities, different genres linked with different rhetorical conventions though the writer was occasionally the same. Bolter sites T.S. Eliot as an example of one such who had been successful in both spheres. Poststructuralists insisted that the distinction between literature and theory is blurred, insisting that texts are interdependent or intertextual. Motive? Traditionalists says it was so that literature could lose its position in relation to criticism, considered secondary to literature and move theoretical writings above the literature itself. Bottomline: This was postructuralism's attempt to make theory triumph ain order to challenge the assumptions of print culture. BUT, this may be unnecessary according to practitioners of hyperfiction, because the creative uses of hypertext proved that theory can grow out of practice and return to practice Chapter 9- Writing the Self The reflexive character of each technology permits writers to create texts and in which they discover themselves and know themselves in a new way. Its probable that cultures invent and refine writing technologies partly to refashion their definitions of mind and self. Writing technologies partake in the constant cultural redefinitions of self, knowledge and experience. 20th century –we turned to radio, film and TV (audio-visual media 21st century our focus is audiovisual digital media (graphic forms on the Web, virtual reality, computer games), in addition to electronic writing. Overwhelmingly, electronic writing, rather than print, appears to be perceived as more authentic or appropriate space for the inscription of self. Question: Why a more authentic space? Writing as Analysis Semiotic theory- philosophical perspectives- The mind not so much a computer as a network of signs which would lead to its understanding as a text. Further, the mind is regarded as a writing space occupied by interwoven signs. Walter Ong(1982)made Mc Luhanesque argument . - writing was a representation and powerful extension of thought process. - writing was a transformative technology- it has transformed human consciousness. - literal mind was objective, oral mind traditional - writing made logical relationships more discernable and subordinate one idea to another. - various writing technologies allow reader/writer more control when speaking and listening Under technologies constructed by ancient and Western cultures, writing was perceived as helping analysis and reflection. In Western culture, writing as a technological practice developed in association with schools, legal systems and modern bureaucracy which accumulated around literacy and without which they wouldn't exist. Writing as Analysis (Cont'd) Earlier view of computer as a writing surfaceattempts to deploy the computer as a cultural metaphor. Alan Turing and artificial intelligence – 1950 Questions: Could computer ever pass the Turing test? What definition of intelligence or mind is supposed by his test? Could human thought be explained as a network of interrelated symbols? Writing the Cartesian Mind Writing as a process of analytical reflection encourages definition of the human mind and definition of the human identity- and suggest that our reasoned discourse expressed in written form is most important. In making verbal thought visible, writing can fashion the mind as a personal and cultural metaphor wherein memory becomes a writing space and the writer a homounculus who views the world through our eyes and records what he sees. Perceptions are translated into words and images and recorded and the writer's inner thoughts and conclusions as well. Views on writing the mind: - Mind as a writing space goes back to ancient and modern Western literature – Aeschylus (poet0, Dante, Shakespeare, - Plato- who thought thinking and writing were inseparable - Socrates- whose metaphor for 'writing in the mind'- "the best argument is that which is written with intelligence in the mind of the learner which is able to defend itself and knows to whom it should speak before whom to be silent." - Freud- the perceiving self is shaped by writing Writing the Cartesian Mind (cont'd) Technology of writing traditionally regarded as creation of human mind or the mind is the creation of writing. Descartes argues that "what makes us function is our ability as a reasoning agent- a writer who inscribes and takes responsibility for his mental text." Hypertext and the Cartesian Ego Ong- the emphasis of the power of writing- a tool for rational analysis and the unified ego. - Embraced by computer specialists who defined intelligence as symbol manipulation whether done by machine or agent. Back to Landow! Poststructuralist theory underlying hypertext > hypertext as writing technology can be aligned with the critique of the Cartesian ego. Question: What influence does the Cartesian ego have on hypertext as a writing technology? Electronic Writing and the Postmodern self Hypertext - not always transparent though it can be used to challenge the notion of thought as a transparent network of signs, and the Cartesian ego as the author of that network - lines up with large and varied group of theorists (Bourdieu, Judith Butler, Kenneth Gergen, [Lyotard & Bandrillard- post modern], not only poststructuralists. These have argued for notions of the self that are multiple, fragmented, and in an important sense material. Chapter10- The Network Culture We write our culture through electronic technologies We choose which groups we want to identify with whenever we want We exploit the www to enable a culture of temporary allegiance and changing cultural positions through e-mail, chat rooms etc. We are individualistic though we can form groups. But, we enjoy the freedom to be autonomous. Thus, we can affiliate ourselves with others then break those associations as we see fit. We prefer to deploy electronic technologies as interactive applications that allow us to respond and talk to each other. Thus The network is displacing hierarchy Electronic writing reflects and is reflected in our culture of interconnections such that the making and breaking of social links result in people beginning to function as elements in a hypertextual network of affiliations What we value most. The capacity to promote multiplicity, heterogeneity and immediate, if temporary, connections The enormous leverage to average citizens at little cost- intellectual, social, commercial, and most important political leverage,. (Fred Rheingold,1994) Diversity? According to Rheingold these virtual environments are liberating both on a political and personal level Network Culture cont'd We find expressions of popular culture, commodity culture and traditional high culture, but there is no special demand on the user's attention. Question? Is that last statement really accurate? What about sites that bombard with marketing ploys/ excessively attention- grabbing, flashing graphics, promises and sometimes coercion? Bottomline: Technology not universally available. Global hypertext system, though its known as the World Wide Web, is mostly limited to developed countries and exclusively to the upper and middle classes of 3rd world countries, though not elitist in the traditional sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Consequence of networking of culture= abandonment of high culture ideal (literature, music and fine arts). If no single culture only network, then no favored literature or music, nor single standard of grammar or diction or writing Cultural Unity Isn't that because people are freer to make linguistic choices, not that there isn't a standard? Electronic writing is being exploited to oppose standardization, unification and hierarchy. The WWW is chaotic; because there are no demands for accountability; because there is no central authority- individuals and organizations add their pages and sites to the global hypertext daily without censorship. This writing system changes to suit its audiences of reader-writer with no interference from any standard or predetermined authority. Questions: What are the implications of this for students in our writing classrooms? How will it affect their ability to use formal language (the standard), in an academic setting, for example? Decipher reputable sites and information from the inaccurate? Is unity an achievable and desirable goal? - fragmentation of our textual world is only a problem when judged by standards of print technology which expects the humanities to be relatively stable and hierarchically organized. - Postmodern culture values instead, the heterogeneity and spontaneity of shifting positions- the ability of small groups to fit local circumstances. - Any insignificant group the world over can use the global hypertext- the WWW to propagate their interest regardless of what it is – more so because hypertextual publication can and doe accommodate all the mutually incomprehensible languages of the political and academic world. Remediation of Culture The distinction between high culture and popular culture has almost disappeared. Ease and equal accessibility to a variety of cultural representations- including pornography- disgust the traditionalists who want to see the distinction between respectable literature and forbidden images maintained through some hierarchy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Electronic forms of communication provides the opportunity to redefine cultural ideals inherited from printed genres and forms - How so? Through our network culture that rejects hierarchical distinctions and uses the Internet and Web which it can manipulate to express its preference for popular forms - network culture construes new media as radical forces able to disrupt the traditions of print In the late age of print, electronic technology defines itself as remediation , and print technology defines itself as resisting remediation. The Internet matured through a technology congenial to our culture where individual autonomy is prized. The WWW grew out of the same culture which accounts for its distributive architecture, lack of security and hypertext model of associative thinking. Questions: To what extent do the technologies determine these different qualities that our culture is assigning? p. 209 Control issues raise questions of censorship for porn and protecting intellectual property, would technology always defeat any method of censorship, protect intellectual property, or attempts to protect economic interest of the entertainment industry? Remediation of Culture Cont'd) For all our communicative purposes, print is now measured over against digital technology, and the ideal of perfect communication that our culture is associated with print is under constant challenge. BUT, print allows for imposition of copyright while in an electronic writing space words and images are transient and susceptible to being copied and altered easily [plagiarized?] What then? If technologies determine cultural values any ideas of copyright for electronic publication has been curtailed, though hypertext seem to suggest a different social and economic model. Tyanna Herrington- an ideological struggle over intellectual property: it's between those whose focus is economic for the owners of information and entertainment vs. those who want to use technologies for social benefit. What else? On one hand the focus of electronic commerce on the net – reestablish familiar genres such as newspapers, auction, magazines, bookstores, porn. On the other, other constructions of new media are working to undermine the older models of economic and cultural control. Meanwhile our culture continue to find in the Internet and WWW, qualities of decentralization, local autonomy and flexibility. What then? The reforming or remediating potential of the new writing space has probably not been exhausted. There is still power wielded by entrenched hierarchies that could force new media technologies into traditional formal legal and economic structures. But, it's possible that those traditional structures will change even as they try to assimilate new media. The future of text as a remediator of culture is uncertain, even if text (as hypertext) continues to serve a variety of function in cyberspace. Millions know how to surf the web, create their own sites, but largely users are still consumers of web sites and other multi media which remains a privileged mode of communication within the already privileged world of the Internet (Bolter 213) Situation may change. Questions???? When most users gain fast access to the Internet and have the software and hardware needed for audiovisual communication, will they continue to type e-mal messages? Will they not seek to recapture the immediacy of phone and face to face conversation through real-time, video and audio conferencing over the Internet? Will they not look to other audiovisual media (TV, film, and radio) as defining the authenticity of communication that they wish to capture and refashion in new media? Will written verbal communication come to be regarded as an ancillary form, to be used when microphones or cameras fail or when the Internet connection is degraded?

Ben and Casey Affleck's Yankees Project
They're both well-known actors in Hollywood and now the Affleck brothers are coming together to rewrite a baseball flick together.
Ben and younger brother Casey are teaming up to re-do "The Trade" – a real-life story of two Yankees pitchers who swapped wives in the 1970s.
"My brother and I, it looks like, are going to do the next draft of 'The Trade,' so I'm really excited. I'm going to write it with Casey," Ben recently told MTV News.
The film is still in talks, as Affleck said, "I don't know how it will come together — acting, directing, who will do it, but Casey and I decided to write it. It's one of those things where we don't jump in and go, 'I'm going to do this, you're going to do this.'"

Science of Socks
Jiggs typed well into the night. He was tired, but excited. A well designed study to prove his theory would require a couple thousand pairs of top quality socks. At the current price of such socks, the cost of lab socks would total about ten thousand Ḱlupies, some of which he could recoup from the sale of ballpoint pens to the campus bookstore. He would of course need two research assistants at five thousand Ḱlupies per month, for a total 240,000 Ḱlupies (Ḱ240k) for a two year long study, and so it went. By the time he reached about Ḱ3M, he realized just how tired he was and decided to turn in for the night. He could finish his grant proposal over the coming week.
It took Jiggs a long time to fall asleep. Everything he had ahead of him in the coming days kept washing through his brain. When he finally fell asleep, he tossed and turned for a bit, and then started dreaming. He and one of his research assistants were in the lab washing a load of socks in an old wringer washer like his great grandmother, MeeMaw had. The research assistant started feeding the socks through the wringer, and Jiggs reached out to check the color of the sock. It bit him hard on the hand so that he was unable to escape its jaws. The wringer then pulled sock, Jiggs and all through its rollers.
"Eeeeow!" Jiggs writhed in the bed and became completely entangled in the covers. Beelzebeth woke up with a start and sat up in the bed, "What's wrong Jiggs?" When Jiggs finally awoke, he thought he was indeed in the wringer of his MeeMaw's old washer. After Beelzebeth helped to untangle him, and he told her the dream they went back to sleep.
Tomorrow's problems could be solved tomorrow.

When my friend gave up politics for Lent
Young Voices: Recognizing that he had unhealthy obsession with politics, the author's friend gave up politics for Lent -- during the 2008 presidential primary election season.
Young Voices: Recognizing that he had unhealthy obsession with politics, the author's friend gave up politics for Lent -- during the 2008 presidential primary election season.
Just blocks here from the U.S. Capitol and the White House, the Global Catholic Climate Movement, Franciscan Action Network and others are on day four of a 10-day fast for action to keep global warming below 1.5 degree Celsius. The fast will end with the beginning of a Day of Atonement celebration and overnight vigil that will culminate with Pope Francis' address to Congress on Sept. 24.
When the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan begins later this week, some Muslims around the world will face bigger challenges than others. The Quran is clear that the fast should last from before dawn to after dusk but says nothing about how many hours that might be.
Since Islam has spread from its Arabian heartland to the far reaches of the Earth, Muslims who live farther north must fast several hours longer than those in Mecca. On the year's longest day, June 21, some could end up fasting for as long as 20 hours.
Eco Catholic: Catholics in the U.S. will fast Monday as part of an international campaign geared toward greater awareness of and unity on climate change.
Real fasting isn't just restricting food choices. It must also include cleansing the heart of all selfishness and making room in one's life for those in need and those who have sinned and need healing, Pope Francis said.
Faith without concrete acts of charity is not only hypocritical, "it is dead. What good is it?" he asked, criticizing those who hide behind a veil of piety while unjustly treating others, such as denying workers fair wages, a pension and health care.
Eco Catholic: More than 40 countries plan to participate in the Lenten Fast for Climate Justice. Find out when your country's fasting day is.
In light of the recent political, military and social conflicts taking place around the world, Catholics and other Christians have found reason to come together in faith to pray for world peace and healing.
The 22nd International Week of Prayer and Fasting will take place Sept. 20-28. Organizers are encouraging individuals, families and parishes around the world to participate by fasting, attending daily Mass, prayer services and Holy Hours, going to confession, and praying the rosary and the Divine Mercy chaplet.
Pope Francis criticized those who practice fasting as a mere ritual, rather than as a sacrifice representative of a religion of love.
The pope made his remarks March 7, the first Friday of Lent, in his homily at morning Mass in the Vatican guesthouse, where he lives.
"These hypocritical people are good persons," he said, referring to the Pharisees who criticized Jesus and his followers for not fasting as required by Jewish law. "They do all they should do. They seem good. But they are ethicists without goodness because they have lost the sense of belonging to a people."
The traditional Lenten practice of fasting is being paired with the latest round of Fast for Families, intended to bring attention to the campaign for immigration reform.
From the interfaith clergy to the civil rights heroes, from the union activists and community organizers to one of the youngest members of Congress, those involved in an event Tuesday spanned the wide range of people working to keep Washington's attention on comprehensive immigration reform.
Marking the 22nd day of the Fast for Families, a prayer-and-fasting activity being observed around the country as well, four people who had consumed only water for 22 days broke their fast and symbolically handed over the role to others.

SEC Likely to Have 'Trade-At' Debate
Traders Magazine, May 2011
The Securities and Exchange Commission is likely to initiate a debate on a potential new rule that could drastically crimp the activities of broker-dealers that trade against their own orders. Known as "trade-at," the rule would force brokers who match their orders internally-rather than sending them to a public exchange-to make a choice.

Rossum Evolution Filter vs Moog Sub Phatty - A comparison by WMD
Published on Nov 15, 2016 William Mathewson
"In this video, Alex conducts a comparison of the two ladder filters, which when filtering a single saw wave sounds almost identical until it comes to the Q compensation and "species" knobs that are unique to the Evolution.
Alex is a huge fan of the classic Moog sound and was looking to integrate a similar voice into his live performance rig which includes a WMD/SSF Monolith Case. He brought in his Sub Phatty for a fun, semi-clinical comparison and decided to make quick a video so he could share the results with you.
Love Moog bass but want even more phatness with some resonant filtering? This might be the one for you :)
Both synths are recorded directly into the Tascam DR40's external inputs."

Xannya - Uninvited Guest
The air smelt strange this morning and it wasn't the pollution that was stinking. Something was coming, and it wasn't going to pretty. I knew this scent from somewhere, though I couldn't tell where. It didn't bother me; I didn't let it bother me. Today, Tahi and I had to take care of the little ones while Uncle Marlow, Betsy and Granny Amy went to buy supplies. We were the oldest now, it was one of our household chores, and I did not detest it.
Tahi is nice human boy; slightly cocky and overbearing, but as gentle as a butterfly. He can't throw a punch to save his life, and he is a coward among cowards, but he has the loyalty and honesty of a wolf, a true wolf, not the wolves we the elders bread us into, the incompetent, competitive, fighting monsters.
I slipped into my day clothes and galloped down stairs. Tahi stood waving a frying pan over his head. Succulent pieces of bacon lay cooling in the pan. The small hungry little kids stood clawing at his shorts, almost as if they were trying to climb on top of him and get the hot bacon.
"Come on ya' lil brats!" He yelled, "It's hot damn it, you'll burn you're tiny little fingers off!" He tried to shake Tama off his leg, but the little one clung onto him for dear life.
"All of you, get of your big brother." I yelled from the staircase. They ran up the stairs and hugged my legs. Tahi gave of a breath of relief. I guess learning how to command a pack from my father helped.
"They listen to you but not me." Tahi grumbled as he set the table. Hanny and the other older kids were playing soccer outside. I rang the bell to call them at the table, and began to take role call.
The odd smell grew closer, it began to bother me. I hadn't smelt this scent for a long time, but it was so distinct. I knew it so well. As it grew closer, my heart began to race.
"Xannya, is something up? Your face is all pale. Tahi asked worriedly. I couldn't find the words to reassure him. I knew everything was not fine. That smell, I hadn't smelt it for four years. It was the scent of a demon, a fox demon.
"Stay in with the kids, I...I have to go outside." I couldn't let the fox demon enter she would hurt the humans, probably kill them. Silence erupted on the table. Everyone looked at me as if expecting me to blow up into a thousand little pieces like a bomb.
"Sorry I sound all solemn, it's just, um....I forgot something ...precious to me outside that I want no one else to see!" Lame excuse, but the little ones bought it well. The older ones...not so much.
Tahi raised one eyebrow. "Really?" he whispered, "You really think that will work?"
"Should I call Marlow?" Hanny asked, stuffing her rather large and chubby face with bacon.
"No. Please, I promise, it will be ok." I wasn't good at lying, but I couldn't possibly tell them that they may get ripped to shreds.
I ran outside the gate. Tahi, who must have been watching me, bolted after me, as did most of the others. Hanny stayed behind to reassure the little ones that we were playing an early morning game of tag.
"Xannya!" He yelled after me. I stopped dead in my tracks. The fox stood in front of me, looking so doll-like and innocent.
"Who...who is she?" Tahi asked as he gripped my shoulder. Even a human could tell, she was dangerous.
"Should we go somewhere to...talk, wolf, without the humans?" The fox asked.
I nodded my head in agreement, bur Tahi held onto my hand tightly. I aint leaving you alone with this....chick.
The fox curled her lips. "Suite yourself, human." She answered.
"Run, Tahi. RUN!!" I yelled.
"NO!" He yelled back.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled as a quick whack to the head, knocked him unconscious. I caught him quickly, and lay him on the floor.
"Now we can go, fox."
"No...." Tahi muttered, as he grabbed onto my foot.
"How are you...?"
"I aint going nowhere!"
"YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU'RE DOING! I had lost it with him. He needed to get out. "YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT I AM, WHO I AM AND WHERE I COME FROM, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN 'PROTECT' ME?!"
"No I don't Xannya, I know your not normal, thats about it," He mumbled as he got to his feet. " But I don't care. Whether you're a dog or a demon or a fairy, a robot some kind, a chicken or even the freaking hulk, I don't care, cause it doesn't matter! You are my sister, related or not, whether tyour human or not!"
I knew humans were excepting but not to that extent. How the heck had he guessed I wasn't human? The fox stood her mouth open, completely stunned and speechless.
"My my, what a spectacle." A voice came from out of the shadows. A tall, muscular girl leaned out from the darkness, her black hair shinned behind her, and her beautiful blue eyes flashed in the silhouette.
"Panther..." I whispered beneath my breath.

MHS soccer loses 2-1 in double OT
The Manhattan High girls' soccer team fell to Blue Valley West 2-1 in two overtimes Tuesday night in Anneberg Park.
The Indians held a one-goal lead most of the match, but a late strike from the Jaguars kept their night alive.
MHS head coach Mike Sanchez was proud of his team's execution, despite the loss.
"That's how we should be playing all year," he said. "It's hard, to go up 1-0, and let (Blue Valley West) get back in it in the last five minutes of the game.
"Both teams fought hard all night. It was a barn-burner."
Good defense was the foundation for the Indians most of the night.
Sophomore goalkeeper Molly Fiser led the match with 11 saves and was instrumental in holding back a very aggressive Jaguar offense — especially after halftime.
"She was amazing," Sanchez said. "She had one (save) in the first half and I think 10 in the second half. So she was great and kept us in the in the second half, definitely, because (Blue Valley West) kept putting pressures on us, sending three, four, after us.
"She did phenomenal today. I wish we could have got the win for her."
Senior forward Bailey Snyder scored Manhattan's first and only goal at the 15:20 mark of the first half and was assisted by fellow senior Jennifer Then.
The Indians kept that lead going into halftime and it seemed that Snyder's goal would be enough throughout much of the second half, but things changed with 5:55 to go when the Jaguars' Izzy Kurzban tied it up with an unassisted goal.
Both defenses held true in the first overtime, but Blue Valley West ended the contest in the second overtime when junior Rachel Catrell found the net at the 4:14 mark.
Manhattan had three shots on goal posted by Snyder, Kelsey Schroll and Par McNair. The Jaguars, however, totaled 11.


text: Posted November 7, 2006 Ever had one of them days where you woke up refreshed before the alarm clock went off. When you went to the kitchen and breakfast was made and sitting under the warmer on a warm plate and the wife was already gone for the day. You go out and start the truck and you are already pointed in the direction of your first errand. You hit every light on a green and a car pulls out of a first row parking space at the store just in time for you to pull in. You enter the store just as the bakery is passing out free donuts just minutes from the oven. You pass the meat dept. just as they are putting porterhouse steaks at half price out in the cooler. A pretty girl winks at you in Dairy and when you turn around there is no one behind you and she really was winking at you. You make it to checkout and find out you are the stores winning customer and you get a 100.00 gift card and your groceries are bagged and carried to your truck. Ever had one of them days when you go to the car wash and find a stack of quarters and time left on the hose. Ever had one of them days when you go to the express line at the bank and there really is someone there who knows what they are doing. Later in the day the cable guy shows up at 1pm when the appointment was from 1 till 5 he then upgrades all your wiring for free, and is done in 30 minutes cuz the head linesmen is working with him that day. Ever had one of them days that you are halfway though and realize that nothing is sore on you. Ever have one of those days when your bud calls and says he won a 4 day flyin fishing trip for two and you are the first person he called and you are free that weekend, Ever had one of them days?.....me neither.

|Investigating Lucene's Applicability to [Unusual?] Use Case
|Wed, 13 Jun 2007 19:39:02 GMT
Hello: [This is not an intentional cross-posting. I posted this same question to the 'general' lucene list; replies there suggested that I'd have better/quicker responses using this list instead.] I'm investigating Lucene as a replacement for a special-purpose search technology that was developed long before Lucene (or any of the current IR libraries) became available. The use case involves so-called print streams. Imagine 20,000 statements concatenated into one large file suitable for delivery to a print system. The document formats vary, but include AFP (an IBM printer format), PCL (an HP format), Postscript, PDF, and even "plain-text". The indexing application must track the total page count of the embedded statements. On a hit, the search application must extract and return the [possibly multi-page] statement embedded within the larger print-stream file. How would the search application know (be informed by the Lucene/indexer) the extent of the internal document(s)? I'm not seeing this scenario discussed in forums or books. Does anyone have comments or thoughts on Lucene's applicability as a solution? Thanks.

National Health Service
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 18 January 2017 12:31
- Written by James Gray MP
This winter, the NHS has made more extensive preparations than ever before for the added Winter pressures. There are, for example, 11,400 more doctors and 11,200 more hospital nurses in the NHS now than there were in 2010. An extra million has been added to local Clinical Commissioning Group budgets in 2016/17 for resilience planning, and £50 million has been made available for national initiatives. The NHS also assured the winter plans of every trust, launched the largest ever flu vaccination programme and bolstered support outside A&Es, with 12,000 additional GP sessions offered over the festive period.
As a result of this preparation and, most importantly, the hard work of frontline staff, the system overall is coping well and even performing slightly better than last year. Earlier in December, it treated a record number of patients within four hours and we are seeing 2,500 more patients within the four hour standard every single day compared with 2010.
However, I am aware that there are a number of trusts where the situation has been extremely fragile and NHS England is considering a series of further measures to be taken on a temporary basis at the discretion of local clinical leaders. Taken together, these actions will give the NHS additional flexibility to take further measures if appropriate at a local level.
Despite tight public finances, the Government has actively supported the NHS' own plan for the future. That is why it is providing the additional £10 billion of investment per annum in real terms by 2020/21 - compared to 2014/15 - requested to fund a transformation in care. I know that the Government recognises the current pressures facing local areas. That is why the Government is giving local authorities additional funding and flexibility so that they will have access to an additional £3.5 billion by 2020, providing a real terms increase in social care funding by the end of this Parliament.
The Government is committed to maintaining and delivering the vital four hour A&E standard to patients. It is widely understood that too many people are going to A&E unnecessarily, and therefore we must look at ways to protect the four hour target for people who need it most. This will be done through triaging more people at the 'front doors' and pointing them towards more appropriate services, as well as giving more information to the public so they can make the right decisions about the services they need to access.
I can assure you that the Government remains committed to ensuring that the NHS offers the safest, highest-quality care available anywhere in the world.

What words would you use to describe your company?
The question is not as easy as it seems. If you're in the food service industry, it's likely you'd use words like "fast" "easy" and "friendly." But anyone searching for a caterer isn't typing those words into a search engine. They're more likely to use "caterer," "weddings," and "events."
It's a basic example, but it shows how search engines have changed the way companies advertise and market themselves. And while many choose to invest in paid search campaigns to improve their ranking, it's also helpful to step back and make sure you're taking some simple steps to ensure that people who need your service see your name pop up when they search. The key is to not let marketing language get in the way of selling yourself.
First and most obvious, take a look at your website. Does it use the kinds of words people are likely to search for? The plumber's homepage will mention availability for emergency response in the event of a leak or a pipe break. And play to your strengths. Your store may be the biggest seller of chocolate in the city, but it's worth calling out the kinds of rare or hard to find chocolate that's not available anywhere else.
Next, get involved in social media. Search engines now include Twitter posts in their results, along with Wikipedia entries, videos and blog posts. That's reason enough to start tweeting about your company and getting your brand involved in online conversations.
Try your hand at crafting press releases, and send them to publications or websites devoted to your industry. Keep them short and focused on what you're announcing – a new store location, a new product or offering, or the start of in-store classes or seminars. Be sure to include keywords people will search for when they go looking.
There's an entire industry built around search engine optimization, and no shortage of offerings designed to help businesses get noticed online. But for small operations with limited time and budget, a few small steps can go a long way toward making sure your company doesn't get lost in the noise.

very low shower head flow
Hi All-
I have a 4 year old, single handle tub/shower fixture that won't allow the shower head to flow with reasonable flow. This just happened a couple of days ago. The tub flow is fine. When diverted to the shower....it flows fine for a few seconds, then...thump...and the shower goes to MINIMUM flow. Turn it off and do it again....flow is OK for a few seconds then...thump (pipe thump) and the flow again goes to a fast trickle. Something in the valve is making a 'banging' noise and the flow to the shower almost stops. It does this in cold only too (valve position), so it probably isn't the anti-scald (although the reduced flow) . When the 'bang' and reduced flow occurs the tub does not have flow, so it isn't being diverted back to the tub. In fact, I can set the diverter (midway) so that the tub and shower both work and the shower pressure is fine. And with both running, the temperature is fine, hot or cold. It only does it when I divert MOST of the water to the shower head.
If you have copper pipes, possibly a loose piece of solder broken loose? try taking the showerhead off and running the water full force. If that doesn't work, you'll prolly have to disassemble the valve. :(
loose solder?
Thanks....took the shower head off first. No change. It seems the diverter is 'slammin' into place adn restriction the flow to the shower head. It is a distinct 'pipe hammer' when it clicks into place.
Name od valve would help, and the way you divert the water would help also.
The fixture is a Pegasus (Home Depot), single handle tub/shower unit with the diverter on the face plate. (vice on the tub spigot)
Replace the diverter parts on the valve, that sounds like the place to start.
shower head
Thanks for the site. And thanks to all who replied. It turns out the washer had disintergrated and was stopping the flow....varying each time.

Ellen (The Witch's House)
this wiki
|How long do you plan to chase me? You know that body won't last long.
|~ Ellen in Viola's body to Viola in Ellen's body.
Ellen is the witch and both the main protagonist and antagonist of The Witch's House. She lives in a house in the forest where she "befriends" Viola. She was dying of an uncurable illness but instead of finding a spell to cure it, she found a body switching spell. She made a false promise to Viola to switch for only one day and instead remained in her body permanently.
Viola used Ellen's own magic to try to trap her in her own house, which she fails. Ellen was inside Viola's body the entire time during the game, meaning that she is the player character.
Ellen, shown in her sprite, has long purple hair that falls down her face in long bangs. Due to her lack of appearance in the game, her attire is still unsure of, but many fanart depict her wearing a white blouse with a black ribbon tied at the collar and a large red bow tied at the back of her head. She also wears a red dress over the blouse and her eyes are (guessed) to be gold, yellow, or red. To what degree this is her natural color and what degree it's influenced by her magic are unknown.
Ellen is depicted as a sociopath, who took everything Viola ever had. While her friendship seemed genuine and Viola agreed to the (supposedly temporary) body switch out of pity for her disabled friend, Ellen had no intention of keeping her word. She even tricked Viola's father into killing Viola (in Ellen's body, thinking he was protecting his daughter.) Ellen is shown to be completely selfish and feels no regret for the many deaths she caused. She even laughs before following Viola's father home, clearly amused at her own trick.
She also demonstrates no regret at sacrificing a frog who had been helpful to her earlier in the game, feeding it to a giant snake so she could pass.
In a diary entry by Ellen, it tells of her parents not loving her, and that she was very sick so no one played with her. Ever since then, she has been living inside the house. The demon (possessing a cat) came along and granted her a wish for feeding him with the soul of her parents. It gave Ellen the house. She made a contract with the demon, making her a witch. The demon said, "if you let me eat more people, I'll teach you a spell to cure your illness." A letter shows that Viola's father knows of a witch in the forest, making a possibility that she had already trapped people in the house so many times that it is known even from the outside.
The next diary entry says that her friends came into her house and they were all eaten by the house but it wasn't enough.
One day Viola came into her house, becoming "friends" with her. She felt sorry for Ellen's sickness. Ellen asked her for a saying that they should switch bodies, "just for a day" (the body-swap spell requires both participants to be willing.) Viola was shocked to realize that the body she was in was falling apart. Ellen gave her "medicine", which burned her throat and made her unable to speak because Ellen didn't want to hear her own screams. Ellen cut off her own legs and gouged out her own eyes, so that Viola would despair and die painfully in her body and her soul could be eaten by the demon.
- It is revealed that Ellen was only 7 years old when she killed her parents and became a witch. In the game it is guessed she is around 13, which is Viola's age.
- Ellen (in Viola's body) giggles after Viola is shot to death and just before rushing off after her new "Daddy"

Anyone who owns a Dodge knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. Dodge vehicle drivers have become used to a certain level of reliable transport when driving their Shadow around town. Obviously, you bought your Shadow because you knew that you wanted power and great value both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. When your Dodge Shadow left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values versatility in their automobile.
Thanks to one crucial innovation last century, we now can experience a comfortable and versatile ride quality. Without the CV axle shaft, our cars and SUVs could not have independent suspensions and the ride in your Dodge Shadow would be much more harsh. The Dodge Shadow CV axle shaft has special universal joints that allow the shaft to continue to rotate at the same speed even if the transmission or differential and wheel hub are at different heights. When CV axles get damaged it usually means that the wheel it was attached to will no longer receive input from the transmission.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Dodge Shadow part for your project or repair. When your Dodge requires a new replacement CV Axle Shaft, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Don't let a broken CV Axle Shaft bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. All the Dodge Shadow CV Axle Shaft parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Demand for newly built homes is at an all-time high. Developers and estate agents report properties selling up to nine months in advance of a single brick being laid, and government inspectors have recommended that another 1.1 million homes be built by 2016 in the South East alone.
Just before Christmas, 20 out of 25 apartments in a Galliard Homes development in Clapham, south London, were sold within two weeks of the plans going on display, although the new owners will not be able to move in until autumn. This demand is largely driven by the shortage of property - any property - in southern England. But this does not explain the 10-12 per cent premium builders are able to charge for new homes compared with second-hand properties.
During the housing market slump of the late Eighties and early Nineties, developers were tempting prospective buyers with offers to pay legal fees, shared ownership deals, low-cost mortgages, holidays in exotic destinations and, in certain cases, a free Porsche. Everyone wanted a home that was at least 100 years old, with all the period features. Edwardian homes were just about acceptable, provided they had coloured glass windows and verandahs. New-builds were bought by people with no taste or those who couldn't afford anything else.
But now a second market has developed among people who like the clean lines and low maintenance requirements of a new property.
Guy Foster of Friend & Falcke Estate Agents in Clapham says: 'Although period homes are still sought after - particularly by families - some people are now moving towards a more contemporary way of living.'
Such buyers are not swayed by gimmicks. Foster says: 'Buyers of today have a lot more savvy. They would rather have the quality in finish than a free holiday. As a result there's a lot more character being put in now, and more care and attention than in the late 80s, when new developments were basically rabbit hutches.'
New developments are also a good option for first-time buyers. They offer the advantage of no chain, straightforward leasing arrangements and no wrangles over management bills. In most cases the price of the property will include cooker, fridge/freezer and even dishwasher.
Buyers who can afford to spend a little more get a lot of say in the way their property is designed and finished. David Marsh of Bradford & Bingley estate agents says people can specify what they want in terms of decoration, and changes can be made to the positioning of partitions since the advent of concrete ceilings. This means people who prefer space to a large quantity of rooms can, for example, convert five bedrooms into three with en suite bathrooms and a dressing room.
But the prime attraction, as far as Marsh is concerned, is low maintenance. Many new properties have small - or no - gardens, and the structure should be in a pristine state. Any problems that do crop up, such as cracks between walls and ceilings, should be covered by the 10-year Buildmark Cover, a warranty backed by the National House Building Council (NHBC), provided the builder is registered.
This has made the new-build very popular with empty nesters, who want to be able to lock up their UK home for several months at a time while they travel abroad.
Adrian Barrick, editor of weekly construction magazine Building, says that not all development problems have been ironed out. 'We still come across a lot of cases where new owners feel their homes haven't been finished off properly, or in some cases, not built by the completion date.' He cites two recent cases where homeowners had to move into unfinished properties.
But Barrick agrees that most developers are now keenly aware of the need to protect and improve their reputation for quality work. Reputable builders will, he says, check on properties to make sure the owner is happy, even outside the terms of the guarantee.
Barrick has lived in both a newly built flat and a period house in the recent past, so has experienced the advantages and disadvantages of both types of property. He says: 'Aesthetically I prefer a character property, and live in an Edwardian house now. But a really modern, architect-designed home with lots of space would be blissful.'

Strangers bring newborn presents after hilarious text mix-up
by: Hope Jensen Updated:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A hilarious text mix-up about a newborn led to a sweet moment between strangers.
A woman, who was trying to text family members about the birth of a new baby, accidentally texted a complete stranger.
Deorick Williams posted the interaction on his Facebook page on Saturday and it's quickly gone viral.
Williams' number was included in a group text from the woman that read, "We are at the hospital. Having a baby today! She has dilated to between 5-6."
Williams congratulated the family and told them they had the wrong number, but the texts kept coming.
Williams received a photo of the newborn captioned "7 lbs. 11 oz."
Instead of just ignoring the texts, Williams responded, "Well I don't know ya'll but me and the boys will be thru to take picture with the baby."
And Williams came through on the promise. He and his brother showed up at the hospital to see the family and baby, and they even brought gifts with them.
"What a blessing these two guys were to our family. They were so sweet and kind to do this. You 2 are great guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn't know," the woman posted on Facebook.
She ended her post by saying, "If we all only had this kind of heart."
We couldn't agree more.

text: The universe was born with the Big Bang as an unimaginably hot, dense point. When the universe was just 10-34 of a second or so old — that is, a hundredth of a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in age — it experienced an incredible burst of expansion known as inflation, in which space itself expanded faster than the speed of light. During this period, the universe doubled in size at least 90 times, going from subatomic-sized to golf-ball-sized almost instantaneously. After inflation, the growth of the universe continued, but at a slower rate. As space expanded, the universe cooled and matter formed. One second after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with neutrons, protons, electrons, anti-electrons, photons and neutrinos. http://www.space.com/52-the-expanding-universe-from-the-big-bang-to-today.html

UPDATE 1-Resolution says restructuring over, signs fund deal with Schroders
* Value of new business up 5 pct to 204 mln stg
* IFRS operating profit before tax up 59 pct to 436 mln stg
* Full year dividend 21.14 pence
By Chris Vellacott
LONDON, March 18 (Reuters) - British life insurer Resolution achieved a 59 percent jump in pretax operating profit last year, it said on Tuesday, as it heralded the completion of its restructuring and signed a fund management deal with Schroders.
The firm, set up by entrepreneur Clive Cowdery to buy underperforming life insurers, said it would adopt its Friends Life brand, dropping the Resolution name, while Cowdery will step down as a non-executive director.
In an earnings statement, Resolution said it had met key financial targets for 2013 and achieved 160 million pounds of cost savings during a three year restructuring. It is now focused on establishing itself as a "leading scale player" in Britain's life and pension market.
"It is appropriate in this new phase to move away from a restructuring brand," the company said.
The group also said it was transferring management of 12.2 billion pounds ($20.3 billion) of its clients' equity and multi-asset funds previously run by F&C Asset Management to Schroders Continued...
