The U-turn came in an email sent at 1am yesterday before a meeting with living wage campaigners, set for noon.
In the email, Malcolm Grant said: "UCL will work towards implementing the London living wage pay rates in contracts with outsourced suppliers as they fall due for review over the next couple of years, in common with some other higher education institutions in London."
His press officer added: "UCL will now support the London living wage of £7.85 an hour. Our people will now be working towards implementation and transitional arrangements."
It represents a spectacular victory for UCL cleaners earning poverty wages of £5.80 an hour and the campaigners who fought their cause, as well as for the Evening Standard whose series of articles highlighting the issue is understood to have tipped the balance.
Confronted by the Standard last week, Mr Grant, 63, whose £404,000 remuneration last year exceeded cleaners' pay by 44 times, insisted: "UCL has no plans to join the London living wage campaign.
"I am advised that paying contract cleaners the living wage would cost UCL £500,000 to £1 million a year. That's a big slug. And what I haven't got is a spare £1 million, okay?"
But yesterday he changed his tune and a planned protest by students and staff outside his office turned into an impromptu victory celebration. Dozens of students, who brandished placards which read: "Shame on you UCL" and "Clean up your act" cheered as details of Mr Grant's capitulation were read out.
"This is a fantastic victory and a great day for the hundreds of minimum wage staff at UCL," said undergraduate and campaign co-founder Greg Brown.
"It marks a historic moment — the end to poverty wages at UCL. We've been fighting for two years and in all honesty, we couldn't have achieved it without the brilliant support of the Standard."
Colin Skeete, chairman of the local branch of the Unite union and part of the UCL campaign team, said: "Mr Grant is to be commended for taking such a brave step and for being prepared to make a 180-degree turn."
But Dr Jane Ferrie, senior research fellow in public health at UCL and a supporter of the campaign, said it amounted to "a public relations
disaster" for the provost.
"To denounce the living wage as a luxury he can't afford' in the Evening Standard on Thursday and then adopt it on the Monday night amounts to a great victory for campaigning journalism and for social justice, but an acute embarrassment for UCL management."
She also paid tribute to cleaners "who risked their jobs by speaking out", and the student campaign leaders "who put their careers aside to help people they might never meet".
She went on: "It's these moral values on which our university was originally built."
The breakthrough came as new Labour leader Ed Miliband put the living wage at the heart of his policy agenda. In his debut speech to the packed Labour Party conference in Manchester yesterday, he said: "The minimum wage is not enough. The foundation of our economy in the future must be a
living wage."
There was also good news for the broader London living wage campaign, with Islington council announcing a new deal for its 150 cleaning staff from November.
The council's deputy leader, Richard Greening, said: "The council is taking an important step in making Islington a fairer borough by ensuring that staff who clean council buildings are paid properly.
"Bringing the service back in-house means we have been able to redirect money spent on contractors' profits to increase cleaners' pay to the
London living wage of £7.85 per hour. We've done this without increasing the cost to council taxpayers."
UCL is the seventh London university to adopt the living wage, the others being LSE, Birkbeck, SOAS, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Queen Mary and Goldsmiths.
In 2008, Mayor Boris Johnson committed the Greater London Authority to the living wage, and Barclays, HSBC, KPMG and the Royal London Hospital are among more than 100 employers to adopt and champion it.
The provost confirmed to Mr Brown and his fellow campaigners that he will stick to this pledge "whatever the upcoming government spending cuts" and however they affect his £713 million budget.
Sol Gamsu, a UCL campaign leader, said he hoped the university would follow the leads of Birkbeck and SOAS in rewriting its agreement with contract cleaning companies to pay the living wage straight away.
"The UCL cleaners desperately need the money now, not in two years' time," he said. "We hope the provost understands this."

My beautiful baby Molly has Arthritis in her left hind leg and seems to be getting worse every day.She is on Temazapam daily,she has injections every four weeks and now today I had it changed to every three weeks.My Vetenarian wants to try Acpuncture or another drug that costs $85.00 weekly.I think it is terrible the money we have to pay our vets to give our Animals some quality of life.Where is the compassion to.My cat will put me in the poor house before I stop seeking some help for her.I will not let her suffer no matter the cost.Molly is only 11yrs old the same as her Brother Jake.I was just wondering if any of you chicks had the same problem with their cat and what did you do about it?

|Cat Massage for Arthritis? on Oct 12, 2014 @ 07:24 am
I'm sorry to hear about your cat's health problem. You are right! Vet fees are incredible to deal with.
I know when I had my cat, I used to massage her gently to help with any arthritic problems. As I am not a trained vet or anything, all I would do is simply (and gently) move my thumb along her spine and other musculoskeleter parts.
If she was uncomfortable or in pain in certain areas, she would pull away from me.
I found that doing this on her paws was even more helpful because it gave me the chance to see if she was suffering with any scratches or injuries to her paw pads.
After a gentle massage, we both felt tired and usually fell asleep! Once, as she was lying on me, she just fell into a deep sleep because she was just sooo relaxed!
Maybe you can find some help online with different techniques to use to keep your cat comfortable!
Hope it works out for her; she sounds like an awesome pet!
|No on Oct 14, 2014 @ 01:15 am
i haven't but I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet cat. Thank goodness she has you and you care so very much about her.
|I know that feeling... on Nov 28, 2014 @ 08:40 am
Angelwings, I am so sorry about Molly.
You are right about pet care and vet costs. I literally maxed out my credit cards trying to save my former cat with emergency care. It was 8K (avoid emergency vet clinics!!)! Vetting costs are shocking - and I've been trying really hard to decide what gets done and what doesn't. My cat is 18 and has mild kidney issues, arthritis and leg weakness (she can no longer jump to the couch and struggles with the stairs) and hyperthyroid. For the arthritis, we are giving her small doses of glucosamine in her wet food 3x a week. We looked up and worked out a dosage for her.
Also, check around for a cheaper vet. It turns out that our vet is great, but on the high end of the charges. If you live in Toronto (I don't) here's one clinic I know of to make vet costs more reasonable: http://www.vet4you.ca/en/pricing.html
Hugs to you and Molly - thanks for doing all you can for her quality of life.

From New York to Chicago
... The train left promptly and we quickly got to see our first bit of rural America as we head up parallel to the Hudson river. it was an amazing site to see how quickly it became the countryside outside of New York as we headed into places like Poughkeepsie and (the slightly bigger than expected) Albany. We stopped for an hour for a break in Albany which is something i have never experienced on a train before - stopping at a station and being allowed to wander ...
Maddie Keisler travel day
... had to pay an arm and a leg for it. The plane ride wasn't as long as I thought it was going to be which is always a plus. Hardly slept in the plane. Watched a few movies that I haven't seen before and listened to some music. The plane ride was actually very smooth compared to other planes that I have been on. Even got to see the sun rise this morning and got to see some very cool views of cities last night during the ...
Chicago 360, Lincoln Park Zoo and CHICAGO BULLS!!!
... was awesome. During warm ups a gigantic inflated motorised Bull flys around the arena dropping t-shirts from under its belly. The Bull mascot, Benny Bull, is just crazy and entertains throughout the whole game. Every time out something is going on, whether it be cheerleaders throwing t-shirts or blowing them out of cannons, or animated dunkin donut races on the big screen. It was an even game through out but the Bulls got a little lead towards the end and won!! Yayyyy that ...
Monday in Chicago ...
Monday proved to be a very hot day in Chicago, with temperatures in the 90s, and extreme humidity. We decided to do Lincoln Park zoo, and took the bus after breakfast northwards to see the animals. We had a good couple of hours there, but left James in charge of the camera, which at a zoo can be a mistake (cue lots of random photos and giraffes galore). The sight of black clouds ...
Like a Herd of Turtles
Home again, home again, like a herd of turtles. Because my trip is coming to a close, I thought it'd be fun to recall a few of my favorite moments from the past few weeks. (By the way, the blog made me choose a city to pin this post to, but the truth is more interesting- that I'm writing and publishing this in the air somewhere over the midwest). Obviously there are too many favorite moments ...

But to the 96 riders who sped through the Trough of Bowland yesterday, it was just another stretch on the Tour of Britain Cycle Race.

Mom made me sleep on the floor of her and dad's room. She made a nest of old quilts and pillows on the floor next to the bed and tucked me into the mass of blankets.
I didn't sleep that night; I tried not to think about anything. Thinking about nothing resulted in thinking about everything, and I was afraid. Afraid my parents would wake to sleeping me, wake to the vine, and I would wake in an unknown place.
. . .
When the sun finally arrived, I rose from my nest, folded the blankets, and stacked the pillows. Mom's soft snoring filled the room, and I crept out, careful to avoid waking my parents.
Putting a kettle of water on to boil, I prepped a french press and grabbed a mug out of the kitchen cabinet. The kettle whistled a few minutes later, and I poured the water over the loose coffee grounds and let them soak.
As I waited for them to steep, I wondered how long it would be before I had another episode.
It could be any time now, I thought. What if I just drop?
After a few minutes, I pressed my coffee and poured a cup with shaking hands. Footsteps accompanied my slurping, and I looked up from my mug to find Mac staring at me.
His muddy brown hair was mussed from a dreamless night, and he stared at me from two big, blue glassy orbs.
What are you thinking? I wondered. Do you know?
. . .
Within five minutes, mom and dad unfolded from their bedroom and joined me and Mac in the kitchen. Dad poured himself a glass of orange juice, and mom grabbed a carton of eggs from the refrigerator. The morning was almost too normal.
Mom cooked my eggs over-easy, just how I liked them, and I ate them accompanied by a slice of toast. My hands continued to shake as I ate, and I attempted to keep the tremors at bay. I was sure my parents saw my hands, though.
Dad raised his eyebrows over the top of the paper, so I hid my hands under the table. I didn't want them to make a fuss.
There was already too much fuss.
My appointment with the neurologist was the day after tomorrow, and I didn't want to know what he would find.

Deathly Secrets, Chapter V
Our villain doesn't have much patience, yet he forces himself to rehearse his plans one last time. As he sits on the rocking chair on Molly Jenkins' porch, he twirls his thumbs and tries his best to concentrate on the situation at hand. Yet it's all he can do to not leap from the rocking chair and rush into the home of his first victim.
Summeridge is a strange place, yes, but it's much like any other town when it comes to curfew. At 3:00 in the morning, nobody is out on the streets of Summeridge, and even if there is, Molly's house is so secluded that nobody could be able to see our villain where he sits.
Once he's satisfied with his plan, our villain knocks on the door. Plain and simple. In the past, he hasn't had much success with breaking in quietly, and knocking on the door works just fine with his type of criminal activity.
Clearly, Molly's taking her time coming to the door. Our villain is getting impatient - really impatient - so he knocks again, this time more urgently. Finally, he hears something going on inside Molly's home. Good thing that Molly lives alone, he thinksto himself. Otherwise, this would be alot trickier.
Finally, a voice from within calls out hesitantly, "Who's there?"
"I'm so sorry for interrupting your sleep, but I have to talk to you. Now. Your life depends on it."
From inside, Molly gasps. Our villain smiles, but his smile fades as he realizes Molly still isn't opening the door.
"I mean it, Molly Jenkins. Open this door now." He pauses. "I've got a gun that I'm not afraid to use."
Molly is obviously just as frightened as the rest of them, so she opens the door just a little. Her face is pale.
Our villain shoves open the door and storms inside. In one fluid motion, he has Molly pinned against the wall. "Now you listen to me, sweetie. I don't want to hurt you. The only thing I want to do is shake your world a little. If you do one simple thing for me, then I swear I won't hurt you."
Molly is quivering, and crystal tears threaten to pour from her eyes. Our villain can't deny the sense of shame he feels in treating such an innocent woman this way.
"Have I got your attention?"

You may not have heard of André Cassagnes — in fact, I'd only come across his name briefly before without knowing much more about him — but you are surely familiar with his most famous invention: the Etch-a-Sketch. Born September 23, 1926, Cassagnes passed away earlier this month in France. Before I became a GeekDad writer, I attempted to make my name as an Etch-a-Sketch artist, so I have a particular fondness for Cassagnes and his invention. Like many other inventions, the Etch-a-Sketch resulted from an accidental discovery; fortunately for all of us, Cassagnes chose to pursue this happy accident, and the world has been playing with his "magic screen" for over 50 years.

BEREA, Ohio — Jake Delhomme is excited to play his first game, albeit a preseason game, in front of the hometown fans at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against the St. Louis Rams at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
"I think when you're new to a place and any time you suit up you get butterflies, the feeling you get before you play," Delhomme said. "That's something I still get. The day I don't get that, it's time for me to hang it up. It will be fun to be at home and this will be a live game under the lights. Hopefully, we can take another step."
Delhomme said the best thing about being with the Browns is the fresh start he has received.
"I think the biggest thing for me is it's starting over in a new place," he said. "That has really helped. I think I really tried to take the world on my shoulders last year and that didn't do anybody any good, but starting over at a new place has really helped me and I keep saying it over and over, but it's been fresh, it's been fun. That's what makes it so enjoyable for me."
Delhomme said he knows he was pressing in Carolina last year when he threw a career-high 18 interceptions to just eight touchdowns.
"I think deep down inside I'd put on a good face but I would be trying to be perfect, let me put it that way," he said. "My whole mindset was when you're struggling you just keep working and working, but I wasn't seeing results. After games was more like a relief. You have to enjoy playing this game."
Delhomme was happy with the way things started for him in Green Bay last week as he engineered an 80-yard drive to start the game, going 6-of-7 passing for 66 yards.
"We had a good drive and it felt normal," he said. "The guys were prepared and ready to go."
Delhomme is slated to play more against the Rams and he's all for it.
"(Against Green Bay), I had 11 plays and Seneca had 13," he said. "You think about how many reps you get on the practice field, you get a whole lot more. It's more about in and out of the field, let's move, let's go. It's preseason you're working on different things. That was our focus to go from a lot of different formations and personnel groups. "

The Butterfly Effect
In a desperate attempt to change her life, a woman goes back in time to save the world she hopes to have.
The bustling of a city and the constant noise of angry and impatient drivers is all she can hear. The people, walking down the street, going to and coming from work, all tired. The sun, shining through the clouds, like a young plant struggling to break the mass of dirt above it.
Her eyes open, waking from the dream. She smiles. A good memory, one from the way things used to be before. Before the meteor hit earth, before the world humans and all living organisms loved, got turned end over end into a dark abyss, full of changing temperatures and darkness.
Sitting up, she takes in her surroundings. Pristine white walls, a uniform desk and chair, the door to the bathroom in the corner. Her home, circling in what was earths orbit was the Artemis 1, the substitute earth, per say.
"We lost earth long ago," the woman remembers her father telling her when she was young. "A man had been in a crash that took his life. That man was going to create a particle beam laser that would have destroyed the meteor that crashed into our earth. Because he didn't make it to work that morning, no one saw his blueprints for the laser. And the best everyone else could do was create our home, the Artemis."
The woman recalled the story, wishing the man had made it to work that day. That way she could feel the cool breeze, smell the fresh air, and touch the roughness of the protection of an oak tree. To listen to the howling of wolves on a full moon, or the song of a blue bird, looking for his love. To hear the trickle of a river, alive with all the animals inside it. Instead, she only has the memories of the world before.
With a silent cry only she can hear, she runs to the front of the ship, desperately believing a rumor that has haunted her for years. 'There is a machine at the front of the Artemis,' people would say with hushed whispers. 'It will take you to any time you wish. Past or future.'
Hoping with a warm heart, yearning to feel the wind and hear the howls, she opens a door that is forbidden to open. Tumbling through, wearing only a robe and slippers, she takes in the sight before her. A machine alright... But old, for the Artemis had existed for centuries. With a trembling hand, she opens yet another door, but this one is to the machine. Pulling herself in with a renewed strength and determination, the woman starts up the mechanical beast. Dates fly in front of her, thousands of videos of what has happened, and what would happen... Even one of her, moment for moment in this machine.
Gasping, she randomly pushes a button. The videos dissipate. Solely blinking is a month, day, year, and time in front of her. Praying to the only God she knows of, she presses the 'go' button.
Stars. Bright lights... There's no other way to explain what she saw, for the machine was taking her hundreds of years into the past. She could feel the moisture from her eyes leaving her, the skin on her face being stretched, tightening over her nose, her body, pinned to the chair she sat in. And just as soon as the pain and speed started, it stopped.
She was sitting in a taxi... Or at least she thought it was a taxi for it looked much like the kind she saw in her memories. Stumbling out of the machine, for it had disguised itself, the woman runs desperately to the location of the mans house. She was watching him leave his house hurriedly, rolls of paper falling out of his arms, his tie done incorrectly, his hands and fingers fumbling for his keys... And the woman knew exactly what she needed to do.
Jumping up from the tree she was hiding behind, she sprinted to the man before he reached his car.
"Wait! Mister! Please stop!" She yelled breathlessly as she waved her arms crazily and ran to him. The man, looking up, stammered a reply.
"Please ma'am... I'm... I'm late for my meeting... I really must go!" He starts to get in his car even faster. The woman, tears streaming down her face, for fear of failure, jumps into the passenger seat of the car. The man's head snaps to face her.
"Wha... What are you doing in my car!?" The man says.
"Please... Just wait for a few minutes!" The woman begs. Deciding that he's too scared of her, and that he'd rather be late to work than be killed, the man waits.
After a few moments of awkward silence, the woman decides that maybe the man has waited long enough.
"Thank you," she says. "Now I'll be able to feel the wind, and hear the singing of a blue bird. Thank you." As the woman gets out of the car, with a smile on her face, the man nods. Finally starting up the car, he slowly pulls out of his driveway, warily waving at the crazy woman.
Feeling satisfied, the woman walks to the machine, the thing that brought her to this time, that gave her the chance to watch the waves of an ocean be held back by the land.
Reaching the machine, the woman skips a few hours ahead, watching the man make it to work safely.
With a relieved sigh, she sets the machine to go back to her time, to her home, but this time, she had a glimmer of hope that it won't be on the Artemis. That it will take her to an actual house, with a dog, or a cat maybe. Her head fills with possibilities of what her life could be like on Earth. Pressing the button to send her there, the woman stands the temporary pain while the machine takes her to her time.
A sudden halt makes the woman hesitate for just the slightest of moments. With a hand hovering just over the door handle, she takes a deep breath. Thrusting the door open in one swift motion, the woman takes in the sight before her... Although it's more of a lack of sight, for all she sees are shadows.
For it was a small hope, and a false truth that the mans invention would have saved the Earth. That instead of time and money being put into the creation of the Artemis, it was put into the construction of the Laser... The Laser that ultimately failed. Humanity didn't survive... Didn't survive any of it.
And all the woman could see was darkness.

AbstractThis proposal concerns the fabrication of a hybrid battery capacitor (HBC) using Eltron's knowledge gained in battery and capacitor research. Energy storage systems are sought for use in remote robotic systems for planetary surface operations. HBCs offer improved performance while minimizing costs.Eltron has developed two different technologies that will be combined to create a hybrid device. First, modified graphite nanofibers (MGNs) with high power density have been prepared for electrochemical capacitors. Second, Eltron has developed a patented, low-cost synthesis method for preparing high surface area LiFePO4 cathode materials. Incorporation of the MGN between the LiFePO4 particles will provide an improved electrically conductive network that will advance charge transfer throughout the electrode, improving power density, cycle lifetime, and discharge capacity. We will also partnerwith an electrolyte manufacturer that has proven wide temperature electrolytes that perform exceptionally well at low temperatures. In Phase I composite electrode materials will be synthesized and characterized. Lab test cells will be constructed and tested using galvanostatic (charge discharge),EIS (electrochemical impedance), and wide temperature testing methods. In Phase II we will improve the performance of our HBCs and work with a manufacturer to produce prototype cells that will be delivered to NASA.

Creating a separate thread on the primary topic of virtualization.To achieve virtualization I have a specific idea in mind although this will most likely not be implemented before 2.0.(1) Server Wide Entry ID (not UUID)
First I'd like to see the server creating IDs for partitions, while exposing access to this ID.Ā Right now entry ids are specific to a partition implementation and are not exposed to higher levels.Ā I would like to see these IDs exposed to be able to leverage them within the server above partitions.Ā Note there's a confluence page about making server wide composite IDs which use some bits to associate the entry with it's partition.
Even if the partition is not necessarily Index based as is JDBM and LDIF will be, it still can take a server provide ID for entries it creates.Ā The partition is still in charge of what is created as long as it uses the provided identifier to associate with the entry.Ā This will allow the virtual subsystem to build indices itself if it's needed, both for caching and precomputing virtual values.
This change will also enable other kinds of features such as:ĀĀ (a) partition nestingĀĀ (b) hashed entry partitioning in a single parent where multiple partitions can be used to contain for example 500 Million user entries under a single parent
ĀĀ (c) A root (default) partition to store things like the RootDSE and DIT wide subentries(2) Schema Extension for Virtual AttributesA new schema extension will be created to be able to mark attributeTypes as virtual.Ā This marker simply allows the search engine to know that it must consult the virtual subsystem when conducting searches with filters contain virtual attributes.Ā VIRTUAL might be best.
(3) Virtual Subsystem InterfaceAn interface is needed to ask specific questions about sets of entries or specific entry candidates using IDs.Ā This interface kind of resembles an Index in the BTree based partitions.Ā You can ask for the value of a virtual attribute for an entry and get the result which is similar to an index lookup.Ā Behind the scenes the virtual subsystem may actually compute the value, lookup cached values, or read the value from disk or access some external store.Ā In this process, the partition containing the entry may be accessed to acquire more information.Ā Since this will most likely be built into the Xdbm search engine all partitions involved will most likely have indices and will be able to expose them.
In addition to lookup requests for specific entries, Cursors can be acquired to access sets of entries satisfying some assertion on the virtual attribute.Ā This virtual Cursor can be used by the search engine to build a Cursor system encorporating the virtual assertions into the search result.Ā Of course since virtualization can be expensive (computing or going over the network), these assertions on virtual attributes will have the lowest priority.Ā The idea is to constrain the amount of computation we need to do by restricting the search space to as small as possible.Ā The presence of the schema extension to designate attributeTypes as virtual will allow us to do this.
----------------With this configuration, the search engine will compose a system of cursors built to reflect the search filter while consulting the virtual subsystem to perform lookups and request virtual cursors.Ā Once incorporated into the system of cursors, the product is bubbled back up the system to be used as before.Ā Other layers of the server are not impacted but now need not worry about inject virtual attributes any longer (i.e. the collective system manually injects today).
I know this might not be perfect and several tweaks and optimizations will be required.Ā However I think this is a design we can work on to achieve a solid means to deal with virtual attributes in search.Ā This does not however explain how we are going to allow for user specified virtualization, or manage it in general.Ā This is just a first step to get lookups and search on virtual attributeTypes working.

A new report from Bloomberg Brief shows risky lending is back for office, mall and hotel properties. An analysis of 2013 data found that half of all commercial loans bundled into securities are backed by interest-only (IO) or partial IO loans. The same trend prevailed before the height of the financial crisis in 2007 when 80 percent of all commercial mortgages were interest only or partial IO loans.
"IO and partial IO lending is fueled by low interest rates and a perpetual race among investors to get better returns," said Aleksandrs Rozens (@AleksRozens), editor of Bloomberg Briefs' special report on the U.S. real estate market.
This month, Bloomberg Brief published a special real estate report showing the latest market data and details how investors are putting money to work in residential and commercial real estate markets as the economy shows signs of recovery. Forward-looking analysis and expert voices weigh in on market trends. For example, Jefferies' CMBS veteran analyst Lisa Pendergast expects CMBS spreads to narrow by year end. Also, Fannie Mae economists Douglas Duncan and Patrick Simmons warn that a slowdown in the growth of the labor force suggests more modest prospects for the demand for new housing and construction.
Bond sales backed by commercial real estate mortgages are expected to exceed $80 billion in 2013. Some market watchers expect that number to jump to $100 billion next year. What happens if IO mortgages continue to rise in the next year? Find out at www.bloombergbriefs.com

Mostly I play Wordfeud. Username: Surazal.
All challengers welcome.
Also, baking and cooking. I'm not a trained baker or chef, but I do know my way around the kitchen. Though I've got experience with delicious things.
Lastly, hugs. I don't give half-ass effort on them.
Honestly, I will read just about anything. Though I can pretty much always be caught reading books mostly within the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre. I am trying to re-associate myself with the classics (Ulysses, The Illiad, Crime and Punishment) and read a few others I haven't read before (Aristotle's works, The Book of Tea and The Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius) .
Some of my favorite reads are:
Shogun by James Clavell
Choke, Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman
I love music in general, but I tend to drift more towards classical, techno, some rap and rock.
Bands/Composers include: Kid Cudi, Diplo, Chopin, Tv on the Radio, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Beck, System of a Down, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tool, Deftones, Lupe Fiasco, Rage Against the Machine, Daft Punk, Kayne West, Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z, Cat Power, Reggie and the Full Effect, Emily Haines.
I like cooking and while I can prepare most foods, I am a Pescetarian/Vegetarian. So, I don't get the chance to cook meat often, unless I'm helping a friend grill for a party. I am willing to try almost any food that is new to me, although I love my staples such as eggs, French cheeses, warm baked bread, shushi/sashimi, avocados, peanut butter and pink lady apples.
My Kindle
A mode of transportation
My phone
On a less serious note, I also spend a lot of time thinking about different ways I can improve myself. From trying my hand at arts, crafts, teaching myself new subjects and so on.
Though, sometimes I like to stay home and lay on the couch while reading a book or listening to music and drawing.

AN: I can't believe I'm doing this, I honestly can't. I don't even agree with the idea of "Love Never Dies" as a sequel to Phantom. But when I heard the soundtrack for the first time a bunch of these scenes popped into my head and I just had to write them down, and now for some strange reason I feel like publishing them. So go ahead, I know I'm being a bit of an idiot. Just know they were all written in the heat of the moment the first time I heard the LND soundtrack, and God only knows if I'll ever write more. Still, I had fun writing them, so I guess if anyone actually wants to read them then... well, why not? Basically it's just several one-shots based off scenes occurring and mentioned in "Love Never Dies." Some happen before the show, some during. And yes, I have seen "Love Never Dies," so I do know what I'm writing about.
Basically I felt like there were a lot of high drama and emotional moments in this show that the CD really failed to communicate. I mean, Christine's dying words are the last words on the soundtrack, so you don't know what the Phantom (who just lost the love of his life) and Gustave (who just lost his Mother) are feeling. There's so much emotion and it doesn't come across. I just couldn't take it anymore, and thus the vignettes were born.
The rating is for some mention of suicide and adult situations, but there's nothing graphic, don't worry. But come on - "Beneath a Moonless Sky" kind of deserves a T rating all on its own, so how could a vignette about it be any less descriptive? I mean, "And I caught you/and I kissed you/and I took you/and I begged you... again and then again" is pretty... well, blatant.
This is the Choice
She is to be married tomorrow.
She always knew this was what would happen. This whole mess was always doomed to end with a wedding; it was just the groom that was indefinite. And that was alright - Christine had always known she wanted to be married, to have a husband and a family and a home of her own. Raoul is a fine choice - he will care for her, she knows, and love her.
So why does she feel so sick?
She's pacing her room almost frantically, still dressed for dinner despite the late hour. She should be sleeping, resting.
She is to be married tomorrow.
The pacing ceases, and Christine looks out of the window. There's no moon tonight, and the grounds of de Chagny manor are dark and forbidding. But then again, she thinks to herself, she's used to that too. She learned long ago how to feel her way in the darkness and has become almost comfortable moving amongst the shadows. Yet another side effect of spending half her time in the basements of the Opera.
Where is he now? The mob didn't find him - Madame Giry told her that much, and the papers would have publicized it. The last time she'd seen him he'd been holding out his hand to her as she returned her ring and held onto him as long as she could before distance forced her to break away for good.
She is to be married tomorrow. And despite her naiveté, she knows this isn't how she should feel.
Closure. Perhaps that's what she needs. He gave her everything, after all, and she left him alone in a cellar. Perhaps if she could just say goodbye this feeling would go away. It would be easy enough to sneak out - everyone in the manor is asleep at this hour anyhow, and she suspects she knows where he is hiding. Closure. And then she can rest. And move on, despite the growing feeling that perhaps she made the wrong choice.
Christine moves quickly as she throws her cloak over her shoulders and runs down the stairs of the manor. It will be alright, she thinks. After tonight, everything will be perfect

Google, Microsoft post 'big profit jumps'
Internet search giant Google and software maker Microsoft have both reported rising profits.
London: Internet search giant Google and software maker Microsoft have both reported rising profits.
Google's net profit climbed to 3.35 billion dollars in the first three months of the year, up 16 percent from a year earlier, boosted by online advertising revenue.
Microsoft made six billion dollars in profit during the same period, a jump of over 17 percent from a year ago, the BBc reports.
According to the report, analysts said that Microsoft''s profits were boosted in part by changing the way its sold its products to corporate clients, as well as cost-cutting measures.
Meanwhile Google's profits were driven up by growing income from online advertising.
Online ads helped the firm boost overall revenues to nearly 14 billion dollars for the quarter.

In 2012, founder Sarah Boyd created Simply Inc. as an agency specializing in events and brand collaborations. Soon after, she noticed a missing link between people trying to make their way in the fashion and beauty industries and those leading the fashion and beauty industries. She saw a chance to connect these two stylish and driven groups by creating an event that would bring together key tastemakers to share, inspire and educate anyone who was interested in hearing about their thoughts and experiences. As it turns out, a lot of people wanted to hear what our chic and knowledgeable panelists had to say. And thus, Simply Stylist was born. In 2014, Simply Digital Network was born to assist celebrity bloggers navigate the digital space and monetize their blogs.
At Simply Stylist, we see ourselves as dot connectors – more of the chic polka dots in Jason Wu's Spring 2014 collection than the neon circles on Great Aunt Greta's blouse, that is. Think of us as the bridge that connects you with other like - minded stylistas, beauty babes and tech whizzes, and allows you to tap into the minds of major style influencers like Whitney Port, Brad Goreski, Aimee Song, Jay Manuel and more. Got your attention now, don't we?
Whether it's coordinating blog interviews with hollywoods hottest fashion and beauty stylists or bringing cutting - edge speakers to our annual Simply Stylist conferences and monthly Sessions, we're all about bridging the gap between individuals, tastemakers and brands in the fashion and beauty space.
If we've learned anything in the past few years, it's that there's one thing that really makes us tick: connecting people. So whether it's consulting on digital
strategy for entertainment influencers like Jamie Chung, Alessandra Ambrosio and Catt Sadler, creating social media strategies or an Instagram campaign, we're all about bridging the gap between brands and celebrity trendsetters. Contact us with your digital goals and we can put it in action via our celebrity blogger network with a combined reach in the millions.

When you buy from Ikea, you could be buying Ohio.
The Swedish retailer announced today that it has awarded Ohio's Sauder Woodworking Co. a five-year contract. As a result, the Archbold company will make more products for Ikea's U.S. stores.
Sauder, which specializes in ready-to-assemble furniture, already supplies Akurum kitchen cabinets to Ikea. Under the new contract, it will also produce bedroom, office, entertainment and children's storage furniture.
The partnership will create at least 150 jobs, Ikea and Sauder said.
Sauder is one of 25 companies in the U.S. that supply Ikea. The retailer said using American suppliers reduces the distance products need to be shipped and cuts down on carbon emissions.

And yes, I do have a Lancelot.And yes, it is threatening. Don't take your eye of this birdy. RPM's need to stay very high to avoid accidents
Ummm, I believe it's called 'The Lancelot', and they are stationary on a 4 or 4.5 inch disk setup. Very dangerous, grinders point this out in the manuals. This looks way too dangerous. Now if you wanted to weld little paddles or ducks on the teeth it would be cool, but no oil, chain larger than a tool...just looks like an accident waiting for this guy.

Vacation Photos You Should NEVER Post
I strongly disagree with this new survey listing the 10 most ANNOYING types of photos people post from their vacations. Are you guilty of any of them? I am.
1. A screenshot of your iPhone screen showing the temperature.
2. Selfies.
3. "Hot dog legs" . . . that's when you take a photo lying on the beach with your knees up so your tan legs look like two hot dogs.
4. Jumping.
5. Pretending to hold up a building, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
6. Your name written in the sand.
7. Your head sticking through a hole in one of those wooden boards with bodies painted on them, so it looks like you've got the body of a mermaid or carnival strongman.
8. Sunsets.
9. Blue skies and palm trees.
10. Food or drinks.

WHEN Charlie Van Cleve attended her first trade show for car accessory manufacturers in the mid-1970's, about 100 companies displayed their wares. ''There couldn't have been more than 500 people,'' said Ms. Van Cleve, who was then doing sales for the performance car company owned by Carroll Shelby, the racecar driver.
This week, as chairwoman of the Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show here, Ms. Van Cleve, who is now vice president for sales at Hedman Hedders and TD Performance of Cerritos, Calif., was keeping tabs on the 6,000 exhibitors and more than 80,000 people in attendance. Aimed at enthusiasts who want their cars to look flashier and go faster, the 36-year-old show, known as SEMA, has grown along with a huge increase in demand for aftermarket accessories. Today, consumers spend $21 billion a year to dress their vehicles, compared with $8 billion a decade ago, Ms. Van Cleve said.
New technology, from fancy audio systems to sophisticated navigation and entertainment units, now represent the single largest category of aftermarket products, amounting to nearly $8 billion in annual sales, according to the association. The mass exodus from cars to trucks -- including pickups, vans and sport utilities -- has pushed truck accessories to $6 billion in annual sales. Items include storage nets for pickup beds and pull-out drawers for sport utilities' cargo bays.
The restyling category, including products that young people use to create ''low riders'' -- in California, Honda Civics are especially popular -- has created another huge business, with sales of nearly $3 billion.Continue reading the main story
With numbers so large, the big auto makers want to get into the act. They have become increasingly visible at the show in recent years. Last week, they unveiled production and concept vehicles dressed up with accessories and outfitted with high-performance engines. Top executives and designers spent much of the week at the show.
The General Motors Corporation showed a trio of souped-up, cherry-red Oldsmobiles -- akin to BMW's line of high-performance M cars -- and a low-to-the-ground Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan with added horsepower. G.M. also took over Race Rock, a racing-theme restaurant and nightclub, to show off its racecars for 2000, including a Cadillac that will run at Le Mans.
DaimlerChrysler introduced two concept cars: the Howler, a rear-drive, V8-powered hot rod with a covered cargo bed, based on the Plymouth Prowler, and the Chrysler GT Cruiser, a 200-horsepower derivative of the 2001 PT Cruiser.
Ford showcased three specially outfitted vehicles: the Desert Excursion, with oversized tires and wheels, a built-in navigation system and a pickup bed replacing the cargo bay; a SuperCrew pickup with an on-board air compressor, and the Arctic Explorer Sport Trac, an Explorer with a pickup bed, roof racks and brush guards.
Auto makers also used to the show to make major announcements. Ford and G.M. disclosed plans to link with suppliers over the Internet. G.M. said that some of its 2000 models would offer Internet connections through its Onstar navigation and communications system, allowing motorists to get E-mail and stock quotes from the road.Continue reading the main story

2002 Kia Optima Reviews
2002 Optima Owner Reviews (2)
2002 Kia Optima ....
rxr506 2009-04-09 22:13:59
Just purchased a 2002 Kia Optima in red, low mileage and great looking body. Has anyone had problems with; 1)the engine light come one. The seller says it was sent to get fix but halfway to my house the engine light game back on. 2) the front passenger door sticks. It opened when it feels like it, with or without the key or keyless What should I do besides taking it in to be looked at by a machanic?
Good and cheap but watch out if time is important to you.
2007-09-04 01:53:23
What can you say about Kia? They are cheap and they run very well. However, individual parts tend to stop working. I actually lost count of how many times I had to return my Kia Optima to the dealer because of the engine light. Fortunately, with the 5 year warranty and good service, I never had to pay a penny to fix any of the problems. Two of the major components in the car, the computer and fuel injector have been replaced and the alternator has been replaced twice. Since I am retired, I had the time for all of these repairs. But for working people I cannot recommend a Kia. The warranty is great but better reliability is more advantageous when you are working. If you buy a used Kia, the price will be right and you might get one with lots of new parts. But it is a gamble. If your money is real tight and you need good transportation, the Kia might be a good option, although many American cars also sell real cheap when used. For people living in the Sunbelt, the Kia might also be a good choice since the AC has never failed.
