Vasilopita Bread
Happy Healthy Holidays!
Vasilopita Bread is a unique Greek tradition with a tender bread that includes Ouzo if desired for a little extra taste kick to celebrate the New Year.
Recipe Ingredients
32 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
2 tablespoons dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon anise
1 bay leaf
1 ounce Ouzo (optional)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup hot milk
1/4 pound butter
7 cups unbleached flour, unsifted
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
12 walnut halves
Recipe Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. Put spices, orange peel, bay leaf, and ouzo in a pot with the 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Set aside to steep and cool.
Heat milk and remove from heat. Add the butter and allow the milk to cool slightly.
Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, yeast, milk mixture, and flavored water (remove only the bay leaf) Stir the mixture until all the flour has been absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth, about 20 minutes. Place in a buttered bowl, and flip the dough so the top is greased as well. Cover with a towel dampened with hot water. Set in a warm, draft free place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 4 to 6 hours.
Punch down the dough and knead for about 5 minutes. Shape into one large round loaf and decorate the top with walnut halves. Set aside to rise once more, about 2 hours (uncovered). Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
Nutrition Information

Overheard from Below
Kris squeezed past me to lead the way through the pipes, her sinewy form almost curling in on itself as she navigated the tight twists and turns of the pipes. I kept as close behind her as I could, trying to keep my mind off the pounding pain in my chest. Now I was doubled over, the pain felt about ten times worse. I focussed on crawling, teeth gritted against the pain. I couldn't blow it now, I told myself, I'd got us this far and I couldn't let myself fail now. However, I could almost feel the adrenaline draining out of me. With every passing second I began to feel weaker, my vision more blurred than ever. I began to wonder how long I'd last if we didn't get to the exit soon. Or, more worryingly, what would happen to me if I never got there at all.
We followed the pipes for what felt like hours, with only the wet splashing of our hands and knees in the puddles that littered the bottom of the pipe to break the silence. It was cold in the pipes, and they obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time for they were practically dripping with mould. Kris continued to lead me on through the tunnels, scarcely slowing, but sometimes turning over her shoulder to check I was still with her. However, as we rounded a corner, Kris halted abruptly. Bleary with exhaustion and pain, I nearly ran into her from behind. I went to ask what she was doing, but she clapped a hand over my mouth and pointed upwards. I held still and listened and, sure enough, there were sounds coming through the floor above us. Voices.
"... Finally finished him off," came one voice, not one I knew. "Took long enough, must have been chasing all over the Arena for almost an hour. Almost gotta feel sorry for the bugger eh? Nasty way to go."
"Guess so. The boss was damned keen on getting rid of him though, wonder what he did?" replied another. "Least it was quick. Last guy was practically in pieces by the time they got that monster off 'im. Thing was a bit of a mess itself this time, blood all over its face. Reckon that'll put it out of the ring for a bit."
"Wouldn't count on it," the first voice again, laughing slightly. "Nothing stops that thing. 'Sides, the boss wouldn't like it if we put the thing away. The mob adore the damned thing and the boss' in a real celebratin' mood since Ryder copped it. Rumour says he's throwin' some sort of party out in the city, and he's kicking up the number of fights these next few days. They've got that Phoenix woman lined up for it next you know, think she's gonna be the grand finale or something like that."
I heard Kris gasp sharply. When I looked at her, the blood appeared to have drained from her face. I thanked God we'd got out when we had, otherwise she'd have been next on Wayne's hit-list. And there wouldn't have been any Sodium Sulfide to save her.
"C'mon." said the first voice at last. "Time to get going. Gotta run the rounds, then we can head for the mess. If I don't get a drink in the next hour my gut's gonna shrivel clean up."
The voices overhead moved off, their voices gradually growing fainter. Kris and I relaxed, but before I knew it she was off again, moving so fast it was almost hard for me to keep up. What she'd heard had evidently scared her, more so than I'd have thought. But one thing I did know, we'd have to get out of these pipes fast. If the guards were out on patrol, it wouldn't be long before they realised the pipes were off, or before they discovered that I was missing from the morgue. Time was of the essence, and what little we had was fast running out.
We had to find the exit pipe. Fast.

Part 2 of 3
Kimble enters the bathroom of the strip club in Las Cruces, injecting the One-armed man with the lethal injection then handcuffs the two together. He escorts him out of the club holding the One-armed man's gun and waving the pawned police badge as they exit. Kimble explains to Charnquist that the poison will take effect over the next forty-eight hours, leaving him in a completely vegetative state unless Kimble administers the antitoxin. Kimble phones Gerard, explaining his plan to bring in the One-armed man in person. Gerard thinks this will be just another in a long list of Kimble runarounds.
As they drive north, Kimble's warn car reaches its last leg near a train yard and the cuff-linked men must hop on a freight train toward Chicago.
As the boxcar heads north, the One-armed man's speech begins to slur as tries to convince Kimble that he'd be just like him if Kimble allows him to die. Kimble is unmoved. Kimble and Charnquist find themselves sharing their car with a trio of hoodlums. Claiming a sort of hobo jurisdiction, they demand money from the handcuffed strangers. The One-armed man, although weakening, antagonizes the punks.
Tensions rise until Kimble unlocks the handcuffs and pulls his gun on them. Charnquist urges Kimble to shoot. As they argue one of the men knocks the gun from Kimble, which falls out the open door. The others pull knives and as the train begins to stop Kimble and the One-armed man face off with the trio then jump from the slowing train. A pair of rail cops give chase, splitting the men up. Charnquist is able to escape as the cops close in on Kimble, but lacking the ambition to involve the authorities, they eventually let Kimble go.
Charnquist tries to focus at a Chicago street intersection. A sign directs him to a nearby hospital and he labors onward.
Gagomiros tells Gerard that the deputy director of the bureau has made apprehending Kimble his top priority. Gerard is uncertain whether to trust this Gagomiros and his hearsay, but does not want to get beat out of a Kimble headline. He insists on pursuing his Kimble lead with little assistance form the outside.
Charnquist stumbles into the emergency room of a Chicago hospital. Unable to speak, nurses believe the man may have suffered a stroke. After watching this from outside, Kimble enters, posing as the One-armed man's brother, saying he suffers from Cerebral Palsy and tends to wander off. Reluctant to let the man go in Kimble's custody without ID, the hospital staff awaits some form of acknowledgement that the man is Kimble's brother. Kimble takes Charnquist to the side and explains to the groggy One-armed man that these people can't help him. By the time they diagnose his condition it will be too late to reverse the damage. Charnquist agrees to leave with Kimble and they jump into a cab. As they leave, one of the nurses recognizes the fugitive doctor as he speeds away.
Kimble calls Gerard from a burned out warehouse district, leaving the phone to dangle off the hook allowing a trace. Gerard orders Gagomiros to gather the rest of the task force and join him at the warehouse to catch Richard Kimble.
Unable to use his cell phone when he arrives, Gerard awaits his back-up. Gagomiros pulls alongside him, but he's alone. No back-up, no task force, no helicopter. Only Gagomiros, who points his gun out the window of his car and fires two quick rounds into Gerard's chest. Kimble hears the gunshots and suspects something is wrong. Charnquist begins a sickly laugh. As Kimble drags the One-armed man through the rubble he turns to face agent Gagomiros, a stranger who exchanges a look of recognition with Charnquist. Gagomiros raises his weapon in the direction of the two men - and fires, again and again and again...

Australians throw away around 40 million pairs of shoes every year. That's one pair of shoes every six months for everyone in the country. All those sandals, boots and shoes add up to around 13,000 tonnes of waste, much of which goes into landfills and puts pressure on our planet's natural resources.
Bstore Can Fix Your Birkenstocks
Bstore wants to be part of the solution to this waste problem. The first way Bstore makes a difference is by stocking well-made shoes that are built to last. Indeed, many of the companies whose shoes we stock use sustainable and recycled materials in their products to further reduce their impact on the environment.
There is no shoe that can outlast the human body, but with proper care and periodic repairs, well-made shoes crafted form high-quality materials—like Birkenstocks—can offer years of comfort. With this aim in mind, if you buy a pair of shoes from the Birkenstock range of brands, Bstore offers a comprehensive repair service to both online and in-store customers. The Birkenstock Australia range includes Birkenstock, Birki's, Betula, Papillio, Tatami and Alpro.
Bstore Shoe Repairs
The first step in arranging a repair is to download our repairs form and fill in the information on the nature of the repair required. Just about every part of any Birkenstock shoe can be repaired. The soles (either wholly or in part), the cork, suede linings and buckles, innersoles and foot beds: they can all be fixed. Our most commonly requested repair is a resole: replacing all of the EVA black sole on the base of your Birkenstock shoe or sandal.
Over time, especially if left untreated, the cork in Birkenstock sandals can become cracked or worn. From small surface cracks at your shoe's flex points to deep grooves and holes to the maximum of 2 cm, the procedure for repairing cork is simple. Once the area has been cleaned, our expert cobblers inject a special solvent and cork mixture into the damaged area. The repair is then sanded smooth and the entire sole treated with cork sealant. To extend the life of your Birkenstocks and avoid costly repairs, we strongly recommend using a simple cork care product on a regular basis.
There's also a series of cosmetic repairs that Bstore experts offer. Grubby suede linings can be replaced, battered buckles banished and replaced by beautiful new Birkenstock branded ones and toe posts swapped for shiny new supports.
Finally, we have drastic options to rescue beloved Birkenstocks from the recycling bin. For children whose feet have outgrown their sandals long before they have begun to wear out, we can remove the upper and put it on a new foot bed in the next size up, or even two sizes up. That's good for the environment and great for your wallet.
If you can't bear to part with your favourite pair, send them in and we'll add a totally new sole, including cork foot bed, suede lining and EVA outer sole. Ta-dah! Favourite shoes without the fuss.

National Credit Solutions put a collection of $156.71 onto my credit report (via Trans Union) that I did not accrue. (I was alerted by an Experian company alert service I paid for.)
They said that Credit Collection Services hired them to collect on a debt they bought from Hollywood Video for late charges I supposed had accrued in 2009.
I only rented a few movies from Hollywood Video and returned them on time. I specifically remember driving into the next state to return (making my husband drive as I was injured and making a big deal about having to return them on time, since I usually used Netflix and didn't have to worry about that.)
Hollywood Video, Credit Collection Services, nor National Credit Solutions had ever contacted me by mail or otherwise stating they were charging me for late fees. They just put it on my credit report.
In doing research, I have noted that this is a widespread problem.
I have written NCS disputing the debt, and also the FTC, my state's AG, the BBB, a local TV News station.

Our brave little team has been occupying the Shell drillship in Taranaki for well over 48 hours now. Raoni, Shayne, Viv, Shai, Lucy and Mike are camped at the very top of the ship's 50m drill tower. All they have with them is what they carried up on their backs.
While they stay on the ship it won't be leaving for the Arctic to drill for oil. They've succeeded in bringing the world's attention to Shell's reckless plans for the Arctic. They remain determined and don't intend giving up any time soon.
But it has been tough.

We've Arrived!
It's time to celebrate following the successful launch of DirectAsia.com in Hong Kong.
"We are delighted to have launched DirectAsia.com in Hong Kong. I believe the value proposition is overwhelming in this heavily intermediated market. The easy work is done now we must convince the public!"
- Charles Burgess – Director – Whittington Insurance
As Hong Kong's first dedicated direct online insurance company, DirectAsia.com is set to change the face of the local insurance industry forever.
Tired of rising costs, complicated insurance jargon and lack of choices, consumers told us they were more than ready for a change. And we're here to do just that!
Since launching DirectAsia.com in Singapore in 2010, we have experienced a rapid uptake in our service, where we have claimed more than 3.5% of the market share and currently handle over 20,000 individual policies. Following our Singapore success, we felt the time was ripe to offer our insurance to the people of Hong Kong.
We're a Different Kind Of Insurance Company
By cutting out the middleman we can save consumers up to 30% on their premium and without cutting down on coverage. We never use insurance jargon so customers can understand and make clear, informed choices about the insurance that suits them. That way customers don't end up paying for insurance features they're never going to use. Just another way we're able to offer better value insurance.
Cutting edge technology supports our user-friendly one-stop, insurance portal, providing customers with the convenience of 24-hour access for obtaining insurance quotes, purchasing policies with instant cover and for making insurance claims. Our site is supported by a fully-staffed contact centre; 24-hour emergency service support and a customer walk-in office.
It's a Win Win!
The launch of DirectAsia.com has got everyone in the Hong Kong industry talking. And like all good launches we felt it only right that we should have a great giveaway - a fabulous Audi A1!
We have sent out a challenge to Hong Kong motorists. All car owners over the age of 30 who have comprehensive car insurance are being asked to try and beat the price of our car insurance. If they can beat our price with a quote from elsewhere, then they'll enter our lucky draw to win this superb motor! We'll keep you posted.
"Good to see DirectAsia launching in Hong Kong and customers being finally able to enjoy the benefits of a fair price for their risk profile without paying any commission."
- Adrian Cheung – Underwriting Officer.

Stay warm and stylish with this season's hottest knitwear
The chunky knit is one of the biggest celebrity fashion trends for the fall. Look for an oversized knit cardigan that's long, either to the knee or just below it. Match chunky knits with tight shirts and pants since this knit adds a lot of volume.
Knit Cardigan, Line, $399
Turtleneck, Banana Republic, $74
Black & Gold Bracelet, Ann Taylo,r $58
Tortoiseshell Bracelet, Ann Taylor, $38
Pants, 7 For All Mankind, $215
Boots, Town Shoes, $140
The oversized scarf is a must have for fall/winter. One style tip would be to belt it under your jacket so it doesn't move around and fall off. Find a hat with a pom pom for a more playful look but choose one that is medium in size so the look isn't too youthful.
Hat, H&M, $12.95
Scarf, Free People, $68
Cashmere Sweater, Lord & Taylor, $169
Gloves, Eco Design, $38
Jeans, 7 For All Mankind, $215
Boots, Town Shoes, $150
Colour block knits are one of the biggest trends shown on the international runways for fall. Look for darker colours on the bottom of the sweater and lighter tones up top. That will bring focus to your face and camouflage the tummy area.
Sweater, Addition Elle, $49.99
Pants, Jessica Simpson, $ 69
Boots, Town Shoes, $225
Clutch, Melanie Lyne, $43.99
These novelty sweaters are a big hit in retail stores right now. Pick a dramatic fun print that you love. Make sure the fit is snug and short because prints can be overwhelming so this will be a perfect fit for any body type.
Sweater, Ann Taylor, $68
Tank, Ann Taylor, $48
Necklace, Ann Taylor, $58
Pants, The Gap, $79.95
Belt, Ann Taylor, $58
Shoes, Converse, $100
Knit dresses are great to expand your wardrobe options for fall. Silks are too light and you need to be cozy at the office or parties so knit dresses are your best bet. Pair your knit dress with opaque tights and booties for the day and for the evening swap your booties for pointy toe stilettos.
Dress, Ann Taylor, $98
Belt, H&M, $14.95
Boots, Town Shoes, $225
Style Tip:
Make sure your favourite knit pieces always look their best by de-pilling it when those pesky pills and fuzz show up. A sweater blade and lint brush will help keep your knits looking sharp and flawless

Reviews For Organic Grassfed Beef Mighty Bar, Cranberry & Sunflower Seed
Based on 4 Reviews
great ingredients & flavor
These are great because the ingredient list is short and everything seems really high quality. I even prefer that there's a little bit of cane sugar as opposed to cranberries sweetened with apple juice (quality of apples used to produce juice can be very poor). The taste is quite good. The texture I would say is good and soft, but I docked it one star, because the whole sunflower seeds and sausage-like, tougher casing isn't the best. Overall, good bars.
- Anonymous
Really love these bars
Everything is right about these little snacks. If you get a hankering for an afternoon snack but need/want to shun carbs, you can't beat this item. Though small, they're definitely filling and extremely good tasting. I've tried other brands of organic beef bars and these, by far, have the least fat. I just don't find it. They are spendy which might account for no other reviews, but if you are looking for something like them, I don't think you'll be sorry.
- Kathie
I am not normally a meat stick person but these are amazing!
- Jamie
Love these. They taste better than most "normal" non-organic beef stick/bars. It's sweet with a hint of pepper. The consistency is perfect, thick but chewy, not dry. I bought them for myself for a snack here and there on the go. Good luck keeping them to yourself lol.

American DJ COB Cannon Wash LED light effect
The COB Cannon Wash by American DJ – a household name in high-quality light effects - is a super-clear Par Can wash effect that's equipped with 150-watt four-colour COB LEDs in red, green blue and amber. COB LEDs allow for better colour blends and stage lighting.
Features and applications
This device has an exceptionally large range that is partly due to its 80-degree beam angle, allowing you to wash large objects from quite a distance. Optionally, you can choose to reduce the beam angle to forty or fifty degrees with the included lenses, which are easy to replace, making the COB Cannon Wash even more versatile! But that's not all! The COB Cannon Wash can also be used to wash walls and ceilings, as it comes with a pre-fitted bracket that allows you to use it standing up or flying from a truss construction. The COB Cannon wash has eight DMX channels, but can also be used in stand-alone or sound-active mode. What's more, the device also has a pixel mapping function that allows the user to create pixel effects with several of these fixtures.

Appartamento molto bello in una posizione molto panoramica e soleggiata.
C'è un terrazzo privato con due sdraio per prendere il sole.
C'è una cucina con piastre a resistenza (non induzione quindi attenzione ai bambini!).
La proprietaria di casa è stata molto gentile, ci ha aspettato nonostante il nostro ritardo all'arrivo e ci ha dato anche alcune utili informazioni.
A pochi metri di distanza c'è anche una terrazza pubblica che guarda su tutta la città e lo spettacolo è davvero suggestivo.
Lo consiglio molto a coppie e a chi abbia figli abbastanza gradicelli (dai 10 anni in su) perchè la casa si trova in alto alla città (vantaggio panoramico!!) ma le strade sono un po' ripide.
E' l'autentica Lisbona con i suoi tram e le sue stradine!!
Miejsce faktycznie rewelacyjne - niezapomniany widok na Lizbonę z jednego z najwyższych punktów widokowych w tym mieście. Gospodarz bardzo pomocny i elastyczny. Bardzo miłe, czyste i zgrabne mieszkanko z wyposażoną kuchnią jeśli ktoś ma ochotę na przygotowanie kolacji na tarasie z widokiem na leżące u stóp miasto. Zdecydowanie polecam.
Aleksander /Wrocław /Polska
Situation tout simplement parfaite (et quelle vue magnifique !). Salle de bain peu fonctionnelle, terrasse minuscule, mais sans incidence sur la qualité de la prestation.
l'accueil par Sara a été de qualité. je suggère qu'on attire l'attention des futurs arrivants sur le fait qu'il y a plusieurs noms de rues similaires ce qui nous a égaré. coté sortie métro à préciser....le logement est conforme a ce qui a été dit, un peu sombre et bruyant mais normal pour ce secteur très central de vieille ville avec un rapport qualité prix satisfaisant.
nous n'avons pas cuisiné sur place et avons profité des restaurants alentours parfois arnaqueurs.... Satisfaits dans l'ensemble mais nous n'y reviendrions pas en forte saison chaude ......
We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!
Clara, Lena, Theresa, Laura
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.
nice location, everything was fine. thanks to some frensh party people was noisy that days. bathroom is very small and on suite!! was clean but somehow very used. maybe you like to bring your own pillow.

Once I hold you up.
This upon my sollum vow,
I pledge and prey to you
My guilt, my failiur will never bear you pain
When I hold you on my shoulders.
I'll never make you cry again.

On the Choice to Rent or Own a House
€ 48,99
Sofort lieferbar
Oktober 2013
BeschreibungThis book focuses on the choice of owning versus
renting. A life-cycle framework is proposed, where a
¿nitely lived risk averse agent can choose between
owning and renting a house, and is exposed to two
sources of uncertainty: house price and labor
The ¿rst chapter analyzes two alternatives for
renting a given house: (i) a long term
¿xed-price rent contract, and (ii) a rent contract
that is fully adjustable to house prices.
Alternatively, the agent can buy the house borrowing
at the risk free rate. The equilibrium long term
¿xed-price rent and the adjustable rent are derived,
such that the agent is indifferent ex ante between
owning and renting. The second and the third chapter
investigate how the choice of owning a house is
affected by taking a mortgage contract that has a
risk of default. Lenders price the mortgage, charging
a default premium to compensate themselves for
expected losses due to default on the mortgage. As a
result, the cost of mortgage has a major impact on
the owning decision. Moreover, the adjustable rent is
derived, such that the agent is indifferent ex ante
between owning and renting.

Animal I Will Become
"William?" I asked, and my voice came out afraid. "What are you doing?"
He was beyond replying. I realised too late that he had smelled the blood I had been washing off and now he wanted it.
"Don't do this, William, don't!" I cried, trying to reach up and pull his hand from the back of my neck, but it was clamped there like a vice. He was many times stronger than Phoenix.
I felt his hot breath, then his spiky hair against my skin, then something sharp and ice cold. He didn't pierce my skin with his fangs, for which I was thankful, as I was sure that would have hurt despite my heightened pain threshold. He didn't need to bite me, the blood was already flowing freely.
I wondered briefly if Meena and Willow had heard me falling to the floor, and if so why it was taking them so long to come to my rescue. Then I realised that they probably hadn't, and I had locked the door. This was all my own doing, and I couldn't see a way out of it right now.
How incredibly stupid of me.
Unlike with Phoenix at the hospital, because his fangs hadn't penetrated my skin I couldn't feel the pulsing of him sucking the blood from the wound. It was just like he was drinking it off my skin, really. In fact, it didn't hurt at all. There was nothing to be afraid of, nothing to worry about. Wow, two vampires had drunk my blood in one night. It seemed some girls had all the luck. I had to mentally shake myself out of my dizzy feeling happiness. Because this was wrong.
He had been extremely thirsty judging by the fact that he could not stop himself any more. I was sure that if he had had enough restraint left in him he wouldn't have attacked me like that. It was a good thing he was handsome, and that I was forgiving. Well, sometimes. I wondered how much of my blood he would need to satisfy his thirst. I hoped it was not too much - Phoenix had already drunk quite a bit by himself, not to mention that some had been taken for blood tests at the hospital. Now it felt like William had taken more than Phoenix had. If he took much more, it might cross the line over to too much and I might pass out. And in a locked bathroom I wasn't sure that was such a great idea, though once he had regained control of himself I was sure William could unlock it and go and get Meena and Willow.
Enough now.
The wound wasn't exactly bleeding a lot, but I knew that you didn't have to lose a lot before you could black out. I knew from experience that blacking out was definitely not fun.
I summoned all my strength. I was one of the Infected! According to those vampire general knowledge books of Willow's, my overall power should be at its strongest. I could beat an ordinary vampire. However, William wasn't an ordinary vampire. He was a warrior of the strongest and fiercest kind.
He twisted my head so that I was tilted away from him and my wound was painfully exposed. The punctures wept blood and I could see from the corner of my eye that his own eyes were fixated on the crimson trickles. He bent his head. I squeezed my eyes closed, knowing there was no stopping a thirsty vampire warrior like him. I had to just wait it out. Wait until it was over. It couldn't be that bad...He dragged me over like a rag doll so that I was lying over his knees as he knelt on the bathroom floor.
I summoned all my strength. Hey, I was one of the infected! According to those vampire general knowledge books of Willow
I gripped his fingers and prised them one by one from my neck. I was sure there would be five finger-shaped bruises there tomorrow. He didn't resist this time - I suspected that now his thirst had been somewhat satisfied he was able to have rational thoughts again, and they were telling him what a mistake he had made. Still, once vampires started drinking from a body they usually couldn't stop until the body was drained of blood. Well, that was what I had read or seen in several movies and books concerning the undead. Though really, undead was a ridiculous term because now I knew that vampires had never died at all, they had been reborn into a new kind of existence.
I focused my scrambled thoughts. They were scrambled because I had somehow drifted into a lazy daze, as if I was high on something. It was probably something to do with hormones and something in vampire saliva. I knew from a science class that vampire bat saliva contained an anti-coagulant to keep blood flowing, so there was no reason why vampires themselves could not have the same sort of thing. It explained why the bite marks hadn't stopped bleeding by now when they should have. It felt as if I had been lying there across his lap for an age, though it couldn't have been more than ten minutes maximum.
Anyhow, I had decided it was time for his fun to end. I twisted my head round to look at him, loosening his hold on me and turning the bites away from his mouth. His eyes were almost normal again, his pupils still a little dilated but not turning his eyes completely black. That had been scary, as if he was more animal than man.I was annoyed to find that there was blood in my hair again, and there were spots of it on the shoulder of my clean t-shirt. Looking at his black trousers I could see they were stained in places too where my neck had rested on his knees. He had blood on his fingers and around his mouth, his lips smeared with it. It looked disgusting. I knew that before it would have freaked and disgusted me. But I could hardly abhor what I was becoming. I could be like that one day.
The colour had softened from the deep violet of earlier to a lavender colour. He groaned and let me go completely, so I slid away from him onto the tiles. I moved awkwardly until I was against the wall. He was leaning back against the edge of the bath with his eyes closed.
"William?" I asked nervously. My voice was small but it seemed loud in the cold bright room. I pulled the towel over and cleaned myself up, rinsing the blood out of my hair at the sink after draining the bloodied water out of it from earlier. I firmly stuck a plaster over the bites and then turned back to look at the vampire warrior. He had his head on his knees, his mid-length hair completely hiding his face.I repeated his name, then walked over slowly, tapping his muscled shoulder. He finally responded, looking up.
To my surprise, his eyes were shimmering with unspilled tears that were pink from the blood he had just consumed.
"I'm so sorry," he muttered, dragging his long black-sleeved arm across his eyes. He got to his feet and washed the blood off his face and hands, keeping his back to me all the time. I watched his face in the mirror. It was filled with remorse.

Earlier this month, The Washington Post published a chart (below) mapping the origins and development of neoconservatism. YDSers are probably familiar with a lot of the featured personalities and institutions. The chart has appeared all over the blogosphere but I think it gets a lot of stuff wrong.
For example, I don't think National Review played a real role in the rise of the neocons and I don't believe Ayn Rand influenced National Review (since Bill Buckley hated Ayn Rand's guts). I sort of resent the fact that Bill Kristol, a lightweight cable news pundit, gets the same prominence as Max Shachtman but I guess ours is an age of mediocrity.
The media makes much of Leo Strauss' influence on the neocons. I don't know much about Strauss, but he seems to have little to do with the Commentary crowd, the Scoop Jackson ex-liberals, Shachtmanite ex-socialists, New Republic hawks and other people I consider neoconservatives.

Money Life after Retirement

Senior citizens, too, need to be safe and smart with their money
Over the years, longevity is increasing and senior citizens need to be careful about saving and investing their money correctly so that it lasts for 20-25 years after retirement. This is a challenge for most people. Also, increasingly, the world is moving towards more and more interactions through mobile, Internet and computers. While this makes for convenience, it brings its attendant risks. To address these two issues—of safety and investments, Moneylife Foundation conducted a special programme for senior citizens on post-retirement savings and investments. Sucheta Dalal, managing editor of Moneylife and founder trustee of Moneylife Foundation, conducted the first session on 'safe investing and how not to lose money'. The second session was conducted by Debashis Basu, editor Moneylife and founder trustee of Moneylife Foundation on 'smart investing'.
Ms Dalal highlighted that "Senior citizens trust people very easily and, hence, they are more susceptible of fraud." This statement was supported by the concept of cognitive impairment which was explained by Ms Dalal in detail. Senior citizens should only invest in regulated offers by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India), IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India), PFRDA (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority) and RBI (Reserve Bank of India). Participants took a keen interest in phishing, vishing and identity traps which are rampant online these days. She asked them to keep all conversations with banks documented, store phone numbers and email IDs of relationship managers and managers, at least two levels above them. She suggested that selection of a bank should not be done in a hurry. One should follow some banking tips to keep one's money safe.
Nomination is a serious issue and it demands close attention. Ms Dalal emphasised that forgotten nominations can lead to great losses. Knowledge about the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 (passed in December 2007) was shared with participants. The Act provides for benefits such as monthly maintenance, faster complaint disposal and levying fines, if children do not take care of parents.
In the second session, Mr Basu explained why concerns of investors are different before retirement and post-retirement. He said that in the post-retirement stage, one should consider the average life span of individuals and plan investments accordingly. Amongst different schemes available in the financial market, Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) is a better option than annuities as it pays a higher interest rate; but both are taxed according to your income-tax bracket.
Two-part portfolio is an effective investment methodology for people who are retired. One can invest 60% of the total corpus in fixed-income securities and the remaining 40% of the total corpus in diversified equity mutual funds which would work towards beating inflation.
For the fixed-income part, based on one's individual tax bracket, one can invest in a mix of bank fixed deposits (FDs), corporate FDs, corporate bonds or non-convertible debentures, tax-free bonds and short-term debt funds. For people who fall in 20% and, especially, 30% tax bracket, an excellent option is tax-free bonds from government companies.
The different investment options need to be evaluated for parameters such as safety, ease of investment, post-tax returns, liquidity and interest payment options. The presentations were followed by lively discussions.

Coast Guard surveillance aircraft with three crew missing
09 June 2015
To bookmark you need to sign in
An Indian Coast Guard Dornier aircraft with three crew members aboard has gone missing, officials said here on Tuesday.
Search and rescue operations are on to locate the aircraft, which was last tracked near Karaikal in Puducherry.
The aircraft, deployed for surveillance along Tamil Nadu coast and Palk Bay, took off from Chennai airport around 6 p.m. on Monday for a surveillance sortie but did not return.
An official statement said the last contact with the aircraft was made at 9 p.m. on Monday.
The last known location of the aircraft, as per Trichy radar, was off Karaikal in Puducherry, where it was tracked till 9.23 p.m., 95 nautical miles south of Chennai.
Speaking to the media, Coast Guard Inspector General S.P. Sharma said that assigning any reason for the aircraft's disappearance would be "premature".
He said an inquiry will be ordered.
The crew included Deputy Commandant Vidyasagar piloting the aircraft, his co-pilot and Deputy Commandant Soni and navigator/observer Subash Suresh.
"The aircraft was the latest induction in the Coast Guard inventory in 2014 and was being flown by highly experienced crew," an official statement said.
Sharma said Coast Guard and Indian Navy ships are conducting search operations, with surveillance aircraft P8I joining in in the effort.
The fishing community along the coast also has been alerted to pass on any information regarding the missing plane that may come their way.
The latest incident comes months after a Dornier-228 of Indian Navy with three crew members went down in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Goa.

Who Really Owns NDTV?
Sucheta Dalal
09 June 2015
To bookmark you need to sign in
In 2009, a Mukesh Ambani group entity took control of NDTV under the guise of a loan agreement. The plan was to find a buyer in "three to five years". No buyer has been found so far and effectively, NDTV is controlled by the Ambanis
In July 2009, Vishvapradhan Commercial Pvt Ltd, a company associated with Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) gave a loan of Rs350 crore without any interest to NDTV's Prannoy Roy, his wife Radhika Roy and their private holding company RRPR Holding Pvt Ltd. This was a bailout-cum-takeover in the guise of a loan.
The sole purpose of the loan was to repay funding obtained by Roys obtained from a bank, which is barred by the market regulator. Under the agreement signed on 21 July 2009, the Roys were to issue a convertible warrant that equals to 99.9% of the "fully diluted equity share capital of the borrowers (the Roys and RRPR Holdings) at the time of conversion" and the Ambani group agreed to limit their aggregate shareholding to 26%.
Let us unravel for you this wonderfully structured "loan document" which effectively allowed Ambani to take over the company with a few key clauses.
Clause 6 of the agreement talks about the warrant; the details of what this mean are a part of Schedule 1, under terms of the warrant. This says "
at the sole option of the lender (Ambanis)
", the warrant can be converted into the underlying equity shares "at any time during the tenure of the loan or thereafter without requiring any further act or deed on the part of the lender". An agreement, which allows the lender to convert a warrant into share even after the tenure of the loan, can only be a sale.
The loan/sale had two conditions. First that the Roys would have to transfer 26% of their equity to RRPR Holdings through the sale of 1.63 crore equity shares. Secondly, that a company called NDTV Four Holdings Ltd, would invest $85 million in NDTV Studios Pvt Ltd and this would be brought into the parent company NDTV through a merger or some other means. The agreement does not go into details about what is this holding company and why the pre-condition of bring back $85 million to India, but we learn this is under investigation.
Another clue that this loan is actually a sale is in Clause 11. It says that the borrower RRPR Holdings will have only three directors; of these, the lender (read Ambani group) will nominate one. More importantly, there can be no quorum unless this nominee director is present at every board meeting. Of course, there is also an undertaking that the lender will not interfere with the editorial policies of NDTV, but we can surmise how effectively that would work.
Clause 19 is titled "Mutual Endeavour". It says that over the next three to five years the Ambani group and RRPR would look for a "stable" and "reliable" buyer for RRPR who will "maintain the brand and the credibility of NDTV". It is now over five years since the agreement was signed, which explains the rumours about the possible sale of this crucial holding that is key to the ownership of NDTV. But it also raises another question: were the Ambanis only bailing out NDTV for someone else? Ambani also owns Network 18 group and reportedly has stakes or has offered similar friendly bailout loans to several other media groups, making it among the largest media owners in India.
Now let us look at some more corroboration. The agreement on behalf of Vishvapradhan Commercial is signed by Mr KR Raja.
A simple google search
shows that Mr Raja is the same person, whose private telephonic conversation with lobbyist Niira Radia led to Reliance Industries issuing a profuse apology in June 2011, to P Chidambaram, the then Home Minister. More about Vishvapradhan Commercial's transactions and its connection with Reliance is available in this report in
Newlaundry and e-magazine
. Mr Raja also figures in connection with RIL's purchase of a stake in NewsX, which was subject of an investigation by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO). This was reported by a media website called
The Hoot
Everybody knows that a loan agreement is concerned about interest and not valuation. This one is different. Schedule 3 (2) and sub clauses b, c and d to the loan agreement deals with issues relating to NDTV and the NDTV Group that need "prior written consent" of the Ambani company. It documents the minimum valuation of the group at Rs1,346 crores; any corporate action below this requires the lender's permission.
Other issues that require such consent pertain to the possible amalgamation, consolidation, merger of NDTV with any other entity, buyback of equity, reduction or alteration of its share capital or any action with regard to the share capital where by the promoters cease to be in sole control of NDTV and the NDTV group.
These clauses make it very clear that NDTV's promoters can do almost nothing without the consent of the Ambanis.
Curiously, none of this is known to the public or to the shareholders and stock exchanges.
SEBI has recently imposed a fine of Rs2 crore on NDTV
for a disclosure lapse of I-T notice, the non-disclosure of what it has signed in this loan document appears far more serious.
The iron-clad agreement signed by RRPR and the Roys with Vishvapradhan Commercial in 2009 make it clear that the Ambanis have had complete control over this group. But it is still not clear whether the group is the ultimate beneficial owner.
An email sent to NDTV has elicited no response. This story will be updated if and when we hear from the group.

Your article is not very clear. The followings are the doubts:
1. In Re:" 'at the sole option of the lender (Ambanis)', the warrant can be converted into the underlying equity shares 'at any time during the tenure of the loan or thereafter without requiring any further act or deed on the part of the lender', please clarify whether this clause apply irrespective of payment of loan. You say the loan is interest free; so, what happens if the loan is repayed.
2. What is the tenure of the loan agreement?
3. As per the shareholding pattern dt. March 2015, available on NDTV website, the promoter share, i.e. Roy's and RRPR, is 61%. You say Roys were to issue convertible warrant to the extent of 99.99% of promoters' share, and then that Ambani group agreed to restrict its shareholding to 26%. What do you mean? If Ambani has discretion to convert all warrants, how and why should they it restrict it to 26%?
You have raised more questions than answering them. Why don't you upload the agreement on your website.

Government's Arun Jaitley wanted to give RBI Government multi crore bonds issuance rights to SEBI.
Legal Eagles /Business Media world created 2008 melt down.Be ready for similar replay soon in BRICS.
Challenges are Free Media is myth.Everything is sold/bought.Few integral Executives investigate this stories Salute them.
Well in USA Cisco/Microsoft/ GE/Google etc have their billions in Ireland etc tax havens & US government cannot do anything.God Knows is US Government is supporting them,possibly Yes but question is WHY?
Ans is simple make State Bankrupt insolvent.Get Trillions $$ of loans.Issue bail outs to Banks.Kill Middle class.Beggar neighbours by printing $$ /Euros/Yen bonds & let markets become ineffective for business & have crash with JOY.
So it happens ONLY in India & also in USA.
Where are we going wrong.Values Systems.
Corrupts Rule because Honest are Silent.Let honest cheat get rich & fight with rich.Bad bit possible.

We know , medias are biased to political parties as they have to earn as well as survive. But NDTV, despite being owned by Reliance, is definitely not biased to BJP despite being a big business house. Another channel I watch is Times now. Rest of the TV channels are are busy worshipping, forecasting or praising Modi and the BJP and not worth wasting time on.

Reading a real journalist's article. Now it's upto the GoI and its Regulators to investigate and publish the truth. If Ambani invests in most of the media, what we get from MSM, is only trash!Afraid to call banana republic. It appears to me that as a Society we need more time to evolve to higher level.

You have proved that Ambanis have a 26% stake in NDTV but you have not proved that they have the majority shares or control.

Something is missing here. The way Kejriwal abuses Ambani and the way NDTV promoted Kejriwal in that interview and the way NDTV abuses Modi, it doesn't seem to me that Ambanis control NDTV. Maybe they will and they should.
I will be quite happy to have the media channels under Ambani and other industries, rather than under the round tripped black money of Congress people.

Now you know how statesman like is Mukesh! For him Kejri is a small mouse reared for green snakes in a garden that also has rattle snake, black mamba, pythons and cobras.
An astute bridge and poker player, Mukesh knows very well that revealing your intentions is a blunder in business that depends so much on sentiments.

Why SEBI/Govt?compay laws allow such murky dealings? There is no limit of level of subsideries one companies create. India's sovernity and govt is aloways in dangers with one entity controliing the media. Still there are entities whose ownership is neverknown, I feel india is still a banana republic. Our lawmakers are not wise enough.

MEMPHIS (AP) Willie Mays and NBA Hall of Famers Willis Reed and Lenny Wilkens were honored Monday by the Memphis Grizzlies on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The three sports figures received the National Civil Rights Museum Sports Legacy Award on Monday morning in Memphis, the city where King was assassinated in April 1968. The award pays tribute to athletes who have made significant contributions to civil and human rights, in the legacy of the slain civil rights leader.
Mays, Reed and Wilkens were honored with an on-court ceremony just before the start of the Grizzlies' game against the Chicago Bulls. The three also answered questions during a fan symposium.
MONDAY'S GAME: Bulls 96, Grizzlies 84
Wilkens, who once played cards with King, said the award is "a huge honor because Dr. King stirred the conscience of a lot of people many years ago and certainly paved the way for civil rights."
Reed said King opened the door for more black Americans to go to college and perhaps make it to the next level as an athlete.
"Someone felt like this young man — well, I'm not quite a young man anymore — has made a contribution to making this world a better place to live," Reed said. "We all want to give back in some way."
Reed said he remembered listening to King speak and marveling at his ability as an orator.
"I wish I had the ability to do that, but I don't have that ability," Reed said. "My ability was in my legs and my arms and my eyes, and hopefully that was able to translate into inspiring some young people."
On Sunday, Reed and Wilkens visited the National Civil Rights Museum, which chronicles the civil rights movement from its beginning, through the tumultuous 1960s, and into present day. The museum is located on the site of the former Lorraine Motel, where King was fatally shot.
"Going through the museum stirred a lot of emotion because we were all aware of all the things that were happening at the time," Wilkens said. "You kind of relive history again ... I experienced a lot of those things that happened to people back then."
During the symposium, Mays said he learned from his father as a teenager to turn the other cheek and let his play on the field be his response to racism he encountered on the road.
"I had to go in all kinds of places to play baseball," Mays said of his time playing for the New York Giants' organization in Trenton, N.J. "I was thrown at many times, and I hit it over the fence many times. So, it was quiet. They didn't bother me too much."
Mays, a 24-time All-Star, heads a foundation that supports education for underprivileged youths. Wilkens is in the NBA Hall of Fame as a player and coach, and he also has a foundation that helps provides health care and educational services for young people.
Reed is perhaps best known for inspiring his New York Knicks to victory by starting Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals with a severe leg injury.
Several dignitaries attended the symposium, including U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., and Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley.
During interviews, both Reed and Wilkens mentioned the election of President Barack Obama as a sign of progress made after King laid the foundation for civil rights for African-Americans.
"We need to keep in mind, especially for our young people, that the dream is happening, but we need to keep it going," Wilkens said.

But, he has survived this long after being trapped in the Eye by the Doctor in the eve of the Other's death … surely, clearly, one more escape was in the cards?
The Great Lord takes both, slipping one on. Immediately his hand becomes Pasmodius'gnarled old branch of a limb.
"Excellent work," says the true Rassilon, his false yet somehow more earnest-seeming wrinkles squinting like a Gallifreyan Mandrake as he grins. His mouth, the Assassin decides, looks more like a bloody beak than lips and chompers. "Run along now. I will take care of any Council opposition. There is always my mole in the Dromiean Chapterhouse. No one would suspect them."
"Do you intend to murder anyone, My Lord?"
The old man stares at his back, boring holes like dead stars. He does not see this.
Then Rassilon laughs. He laughs, and he laughs, and he laughs.
The timbre of that laugh holds the blackness of certainty in its mouth like a plaything.
When finally the Great Lord strides away, the Assassin feels a strange sensation running close to the nerves of his spine.
But at last he is alone, save for inconsequential Pasmodius in his borrowed tomb, flanked by four red pillars and dark marble. He should have killed the old man, he should have killed the boy, he should have killed…
He shudders, even as he slips his own ring over his finger and activates the transport back to his prison.
Only then, when his shimmer-disguised foot brushes the hidden node on the floor and his fingers wrap in comfort around the bars of his cell does he breathe.
