Personality Edit
Cyrus is a kindhearted, gentle young man with a somewhat guileless disposition. Though he wouldn't be characterized as having a spoiled personality, his semi-pampered upbringing as a hero has led to him being outraged at simple lacks of understanding or patience, typically when directed at people other than himself. His hero complex runs extremely deep. While this isn't something that most people would take issue with in his own world, his willingness to help strangers is often perceived as off-putting in societies removed from New Olympia.
Despite his kindness, frankness, and empathy, Cyrus is easily provoked to anger, and has been known to showcase his explosive strength in a moment of fury. When he feels someone he cares about is threatened, Cyrus can become cold and terrible; in a similar vein, when he's asked to deal with gods and monsters, he adopts a professional, almost businesslike demeanor with a twist of necessary charm. Cyrus hates behaving in such a manner, but realizes it's necessary around all gods, save for Persephone, Hades, and, perhaps, Thanatos.
Trauma has made Cyrus unwilling to let people pry into his personal life, so despite his attempt to get to know others, attempts to piece out his own inner strife will likely be met with resistance. Cyrus has blocked out events of his past to such an extent that he pretends certain things didn't happen to him; as a result, any reminder of such events will cause him to spiral into shame and self-hatred. He has a list of particular trigger words that should be avoided to prevent such a spiral from happening.
Abilities Edit
Cyrus has a range of powers, thanks to his godly parentage and status as a hero. These powers can be broken up into divine and fated, the former of which were granted to him by Persephone, and the latter of which were granted to him by way of his status as a hero.
Divine Powers Edit
- Plant growth/manipulation: Cyrus can cause plants to grow and can manipulate them to do his bidding if he chooses. Through this method, Cyrus can also create plant-and-clay homunculi, who can keep him company or do his bidding.
- Healing abilities: Cyrus's blood and bodily fluids contain healing agents that make it almost impossible to kill him by way of a mortal wound. He heals himself automatically, and can heal others either by introducing them to his own blood, spit, etc.; or by using a particular incantation he learned from a son of Hecate.
- Earthquakes: Because Persephone is a cthonic deity, Cyrus inherited from her the ability to cause earthquakes and open portals to the Underworld.
- Judgment: As Hades and Persephone are the judges of souls in Greek myth, Cyrus acquired a certain passive ability for divining the quality of souls. He can tell which souls have been blackened with hatred and violence, and which haven't.
Fated Powers Edit
- Strength: Cyrus has strength that surpasses that of regular demigods.
- Speed: Cyrus has the ability to run faster than his peers.
History Edit
Childhood Edit
Cyrus is from New Olympia, the North American superpower in an alternate future. In this alternate world, polytheism reigns supreme as religious world powers, and among the most prominent of those religions is the mythology of Ancient Greece. In New Olympia, Greek demigods outnumber non-demigods, and are perceived to be unofficial first-class citizens. While there's no specific hierarchy of gods' children (i.e., a child of Zeus is no more important or powerful than a child of Iris), the most important and desirable kind of demigod is a fated hero.
Fated heroes are born once every few decades, to act as a precursor to some great battle or war. There are some who say the birth of a fated hero provides a self-fulfilling prophecy: that people discover a fated hero's existence and begin plotting their battles, rather than the battles being predestined and the reason for the hero's birth. Either way, Cyrus was born as one such hero in the year 2031, to the grand general Henry Delgado, and Persephone, the goddess of spring.
Being that Grand General is the title given to the executive leader of New Olympia (much like a prime minister or president), Cyrus was born to relative luxury and endless opportunities. Though his twin sister, Ofelia, was not born as part of a prophecy, she was treated in the same manner as her brother. They were tutored by Chiron, nannied by nymphs, and, every spring, they were sent to their mother's temple for godly instruction. Persephone, ever the doting mother, filled her children's heads with ideas of grandeur and eternal life; she said they would be promised immortality after death, and sent to live in the halls of the other gods.
Despite their worldwide fame and endless care, Ofelia and Cyrus were hated by their brother, Sebastian, who was born a non-demigod and perceived by his father as lesser. Sebastian, who was six years older than his younger siblings, did everything in his power to torment them both. His favorite target was Cyrus, who lacked Ofelia's ire, and would often attempt to reason with Sebastian rather than pushing him off. Sebastian berated and pinched Cyrus for years without the young hero's protestation, out of the watchful eye of his mother or father.
One day, however, as Cyrus was doing laps around his personal track, Sebastian tripped him with a concealed rat trap, and something snapped in the younger boy. He hurtled at Sebastian and beat him within an inch of his life, only stopping as Chiron forced him to. Henry Delgado, who had witnessed the scene from afar, praised Cyrus for sticking up for himself, and regarded Sebastian's injuries with contempt. Though Cyrus was horrified by his own violence, and was desperate to make amends with his older brother, Sebastian refused to forgive him or his father. He ran away in the night.
Without Sebastian in the house, Cyrus was free of torment. Still, he couldn't help perceiving himself as something dangerous. What if he got angry and killed his father? His sister? No matter how many times Persephone attempted to assuage her son's concerns, he maintained he couldn't trust himself until he had tested himself around other demigods like him.
Pre-Tartarus Edit
At the age of eleven, Cyrus and Ofelia were sent to Laurel Academy, the private training and tutelage center for wealthy demigods in what's known to us as New England. Being a famous hero, Cyrus was welcomed into the school with open arms; the other students flocked to him, desperate for his friendship and attention, and desperate, mostly, to be named his therapon, or heroic companion. At Laurel, Cyrus and Ofelia became friends with many demigods, like Milo McKinley, son of Thanatos; Jasper Mitchell, son of Ares; Lainey Cahill, daughter of Pontus; Micah, a son of Morpheus with a shifty backstory; and Melanie Delgado, his first cousin and a daughter of Iris.
Cyrus's closest friend, however, became Alec Swanson, a son of Hecate and Cyrus's choice of therapon. Alec was strong and quick, though naturally not as much as Cyrus; in fact, there were many other students at Laurel whose abilities seemed to surpass Alec's own. Yet, Alec had a certain something about him, a charm that had been known to beguile even Aphrodite herself. He was a smooth talker, a positive influence, and an incredibly beautiful boy. Between the ages of eleven and twelve, when Alec was Cyrus's companion, Cyrus believed himself to be in love with the other boy.
Everything changed when Cyrus and Alec fell into Tartarus, a tragedy that befell them during the summer between their second and third years. Cyrus had promised Alec a trip into the underworld, where his mother and stepfather resided. While the trip itself mostly passed without incident, they were unaware of the fact that they had been followed there. Milo, who had unlimited access to the underworld as a child of Thanatos, had been bullied and blackmailed into leading his godly cousin, Ezra Allen, after Cyrus and Alec.
Ezra, a son of Eros, was a few years older than the other boys, and intensely jealous of Alec's position of glory alongside Cyrus. He desired the power of a heroic companion, though he felt Cyrus himself was naive and stupid. In an effort to remove Alec from Cyrus's side, thereby giving himself an opening, he forced Milo to help him lure the boys into Tartarus, the realm of punishment in the Greek Underworld.
Tartarus Edit
WARNING: Mentions of torture, death, blood, and rape below.
Cyrus and Alec were steered in the wrong direction by a centaur under Milo's order. The centaur, rather than leading them to the pathway between the Underworld and the Mortal World, deposited the boys directly into the entrance to Tartarus, then sealed the portal behind them. Milo's involvement ended here; his job had only been to give the centaur orders, orders only a descendant of Thanatos was capable of giving.
In Tartarus, Cyrus and Alec struggled for breath and fought to find a way out. They toiled together for roughly a week, fighting off monsters and taking shelter wherever possible. Without food or drink, they were forced to survive on nectar and pomegranates alone; by the time they ran out of those, both Cyrus and Alec began to fear they would die in the pit.
As despair set in, Cyrus confessed to Alec that he had feelings for him, a sentiment Alec didn't immediately return. Before he had the chance, both boys were attacked.
Alec and Cyrus were knocked unconscious and dragged to a place where a group of monsters and dead souls held them captive. It seemed word had gotten out among the residents of Tartarus that the living fated hero had ended up in their reach somehow; the opportunity for retribution against the gods was too great for them to pass up.
However, as Cyrus was their intended victim, they had no use for Alec. He was stabbed by one of the monsters and left to die. Cyrus's power was insufficient by that point, so he was unable to heal his companion. Their captors laughed and jeered as Cyrus wept over his dying friend, who admitted in his final moments of life that he had feelings for Cyrus, too. Even then, Cyrus suspected this to be a lie, but he kissed Alec all the same before he stopped breathing. Then, without giving him time to grieve, Cyrus's captors began torturing him.
Cyrus was in Tartarus for a full month, during which time he was bled, flogged, starved, and beaten. Cyrus's healing abilities, being passive and requiring no energy, made it so that he couldn't bleed to death or pass out. While this was, in a sense, the blessing that kept him alive, it also forced him to endure pain that most people would have blacked out from. Worst of all, it forced him to stay alert during a series of violent rapes, often at the hands of huge, nonhuman monsters.
Ezra Allen, who'd followed Cyrus into Tartarus himself, presented himself at the moment when it seemed as though Cyrus had lost hope. He used his passive ability to charm the monsters, then killed them while they were in a daze. He carried both Cyrus and Alec's body out of the pit with him, and was heralded as a hero by those who learned of his rescue. His plan to forcibly become Cyrus's companion worked; a shell-shocked and starving Cyrus agreed to take him on as his right-hand man, in front of a crowd of their peers.
Cyrus's heart was broken after Tartarus, a rift that never fully repaired. To this day, he feels responsible for Alec's death, his own rapes, and Ezra Allen's rise to relative power.
Post-Tartarus Edit
Though Ezra initially attempted to win Cyrus over by playing nice, when he didn't get anywhere fast, he resorted to manipulation and blackmail. He convinced Cyrus that it was his fault that Alec had died, since he had given the centaur the wrong directions that led them to Tartarus. Unknowing that Milo had given those directions, Cyrus became wracked with guilt, and convinced himself he was stupid and unable to follow simple directions. Ezra promised never to tell a soul what he knew about Cyrus's involvement in Alec's death, so long as the hero agreed to do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life.
Believing he deserved punishment, Cyrus agreed, and embarked on a four-year stint of letting Ezra humiliate him however possible. Ezra's torment ranged from anything as innocuous as forcing Cyrus to pick up his groceries, to anything as sinister as forcing him to dress and undress in front of Ezra. The latter of the two eventually yielded to Ezra forcing sex on Cyrus, who, despite his superior physical strength, felt he was powerless to do anything to stop the other demigod. Ezra, like all children of Eros, had been a victim of many sexual assaults in his lifetime; Cyrus reasoned with himself that Ezra simply didn't know how to be intimate with someone, and that he wasn't really "raping" Cyrus, as he probably didn't know what rape was. Additionally, Ezra had the ability to imbue Cyrus with an aphrodisiac that made him feel loose-limbed and ready for sex. The combination of all these elements led Cyrus to believe their sex was truly consensual.
Ezra made it a point to call Cyrus a slut or a whore at any opportunity. He told Cyrus that what had happened him in Tartarus had spoiled him for anyone else, and that no one "normal" would ever want to sleep with him. Cyrus began to understand that his sexuality was something that belonged completely to someone else, and succumbed to Ezra as his total controller.
When he learned of the restorative power of Cyrus's blood, Ezra began bleeding him once daily, accumulating a supply of the stuff with the intention of creating some kind of philosopher's stone for himself. Though Cyrus's healing abilities made it impossible for him to get too weak, the final intrusion made him feel increasingly unhappy about the way his life had been going these past three years. Now sixteen, he was nearly a man, and would therefore soon be expected to perform the tasks required of a man. He wondered if he would even be capable of performing such tasks when he'd proven himself to be so stupid and easy to control; he began cutting himself, not with a mind to commit suicide, but because he was so disgusted with himself that he felt a need to disfigure his body. It didn't matter, anyway, as his cuts merely stitched themselves up again in the end, but it gave Cyrus a sense of control.
During his sixteenth year, Cyrus became aware of the fact that the god Apollo had been watching his sister, Ofelia, intently. Though Ofelia was a lesbian, Cyrus quickly caught on to the fact that Apollo was intending to take her as a consort of sorts, possibly as revenge for Persephone having snubbed his advances centuries before.
Knowing there was nothing Ofelia would want less than to be the consort of a god, Cyrus offered himself instead, agreeing to act as a tribute for Apollo, who would come and take his pleasure from the boy every summer. Apollo began visiting Cyrus's bedroom once a week, which made Ezra increasingly jealous and more vicious in his own advances. For some time, Cyrus was torn between his demigod "boyfriend" and the needs of Apollo, who, despite being kinder than Ezra, was more aggressive by far. Though he didn't want to sleep with Apollo, either, Cyrus again believed that because it was his idea, then it must be fully consensual.
All of this happened in secret. No one knew of Cyrus's guilt over Alec's death, Ezra's persistent abuse, or Apollo's visits. Cyrus worked double-time to prepare for the battle he was supposedly fated for, and grew stronger than ever; meanwhile, Milo, wracked with guilt himself, watched as Cyrus's emotional state deteriorated almost imperceptibly. Finally, despite Ezra's express orders to the contrary, Milo approached Cyrus to tell him the truth about what had happened in Tartarus.
The May Day Massacre Edit
Though May Day isn't a Greek festival, it's one of the carry-overs into New Olympus, and something the students of Laurel Academy celebrated in honor of Persephone. At the May Day festival, Milo pulled Cyrus aside and confessed to him that Ezra had coerced him into leading Cyrus and Alec into Tartarus, and that Cyrus's guilt was therefore unfounded. Cyrus forgave Milo immediately, understanding that Ezra's manipulative abilities were so great as to force anyone to do what he wanted. However, at the realization that he'd been suffering for years for nothing, Cyrus flew into a rage, which caused a small-scale earthquake and opened a portal to Tartarus.
The festival-goers were terrified, believing they would all be destroyed by the monsters that came forth from Tartarus; however, Cyrus, in his abject fury, mutilated and destroyed every monster that rose to meet him, then tossed their mangled bodies back into the pit. After what felt like hours of bloodshed, Cyrus finally rounded on his classmates, using a passive ability to determine who had been in league with Ezra all this time. Those who had conspired against him, and had thus contributed to Alec's death, were killed; those who had no part in the events were shepherded to safety by Ofelia and Milo.
Cyrus saved Ezra for last, and took special care to destroy him in the most painful and gruesome way possible. When it was over, and Ezra was finally dead, Cyrus was filled with a dull, hollow feeling. He felt he'd finally fulfilled his own prophecy of himself and become a monster, unable to control his own violent impulses. Even with the admission that Ezra had unfairly blamed him for everything that happened, Cyrus still felt as though Alec's death was his own fault, and still felt like all the violence that had been inflicted against himself was deserved. Desperate to move past the trauma, he left Laurel Academy; through some chance, he then ended up in Pseudo Seattle.
PS Canon Edit
Triggers Edit
Because Cyrus has repressed his trauma and has made no effort to deal with it, he's easily triggered by a handful of actions, phrases, or words.
Calling Cyrus any of the following names will cause him to go into a shame spiral:
- Slut
- Whore
- Princess
- Highness
- Bitch
He's also uncomfortable with mentions of bestiality, particularly concerning horses, as the mention reminds him of the centaurs in Tartarus that assaulted him. He has a similar relationship with bulls, thanks to his assault at the hands of a minotaur. Beyond that, any unwanted sexual advance or comment directed toward Cyrus is almost guaranteed to make him highly uncomfortable, even if it doesn't necessarily trigger an episode.
Relationships Edit
Ofelia Delgado Edit
Ofelia is Cyrus's twin sister and closest friend. The two siblings have been close since infancy, and balance each other's personalities out well.
Micah Edit
A Native American son of Morpheus, Micah's history is unknown. At some point in his early childhood, he left what's presumed to have been a Lakota reservation with his unwell mother. He became a member of Cyrus's guard, and one of the hero's closest friends.

Reasons and Benefits to Using an SSL Certificate on Your Website
If youre a website owner, you need to understand what an SSL certificate is, and whether you need one for your website. There are more and more incidents every year regarding hackers gaining access to websites and gaining information from customers like their credit card information.
Reasons Your Website Needs an SSL Certificate
Customer Concerns
Consumers are very concerned about the security of their information. They are mistrustful about inputting their credit card or personal information into a website that isnt extremely secure. Instead of a standard HTTP URL address, which means Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, in front of the website name, a secure URL has HTTPS in front of the address. HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. It will also have a secure SSL symbol in front of the HTTPS address. Before an SSL Certificate is issued to a website, the owner of the website is verified. Customers will know that if the website has an SSL Certificate that the owner is who they said they are.
What Information Needs to be Protected?
Even if you do not have an eCommerce site, you might want to have an SSL certificate to protect your users. If you have any kind of passwords or logins on your site, youll want to have a secure connection that will ease the minds of your website users. If you store sensitive information like social insurance number, addresses and credit card numbers, you will want to protect that valuable information. Confidential information like medical documents, legal documents or client contracts need to be protected.
Benefits for the Website with an SSL Certificate
Search Engine Ranking
Google is constantly changing the way they rank websites in their search engines. It can often be tough to discern what they use for ranking purposes, but in 2014, Google reported that they are using HTTPS as a ranking signal. Since they are a huge proponent of security, they want to reward websites that are serious about their customers security. Its not really known how much weight they are giving SSL Certificates on websites, but if it gives the website an edge over competitors, its worth considering.
Customer Preference
Since more Internet users are becoming savvy about their online security risks, they know they should be on sites that have an HTTPS in the address. This means they could potentially bypass websites that they feel are not as secure. It could be the difference between gaining a customer or losing one to a competitor who has a more secure website.
You dont need an SSL Certificate for the entire website. It could slow down the loading of the site on many computers, but youll need one on pages that are used for collecting customer information.
If you have any questions whether an SSL certificate is right for your website please call us or use our convenient contact form.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. ~Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou's quotation rings true especially with regards to any interest, craft, or hobby. Most of us aren't naturally gifted with the craft that we choose. It takes patience, and time, and practice before any improvements can be seen. Do the best you can until you know better. I love that.
I already have quite a collection of sketchbooks in which I have been trying different techniques. As I look through them from time to time, I notice that I can do better than what I have done, say , a year ago.
Of course any art can be improved at any time. However, after a year has gone by, and I have been experimenting, and practising, and following online classes, as well as having joined several online art groups, it makes sense that I can see some needed changes in my work more clearly.
Last week, I reworked a graphite sketch that was done a year ago in one of those sketchbooks.
The greatest improvement in last week's sketch I feel is in the shading. The sketch done a year ago did not have enough contrast in tones between the shaded areas and those in the light. I made a few other adjustments as well to the nose, the mouth, and to the left eye and added subtle hatching to her hat to mimic fabric which must be wool or felt.
This first sketch is the improved one.
After I completed the improvements, I set the drawing aside for a while. Then, one night, I found my stylus which I hadn't used in a while, and opened up my apps on my iPad.
Adding colour to the graphite sketch I had completed earlier was a breeze using Procreate, an app I purchased last fall. There are so many possibilities that I haven't yet explored with this amazing software. Besides adding colours, there are different brushes within a variety of categories such as inking, airbrushing, sketching, etc. that can be selected. You can see the effect of the oriental brush in the fur. There are so many options that I am just really only using the software in a most basic way at this point. I admit that I have a much greater admiration now for digital artists.
In the end, after the sketch was painted, I exported the resulting product into other apps and experimented with a variety of backgrounds, textures, lighting, etc.
This is not the first time that I use traditional art and make digital improvements and changes to it. You can view similar enhancements to my other drawings from last fall here. http://louiseprimeau.com/my-goodness-how-the-time-has-flewn/ and here http://louiseprimeau.com/going-digital-without-fear/ .
I still don't know exactly where this art journey is taking me but I am having fun along the way, and I am encouraged that I can see differences between my work today and my earlier work.
I am doing the best I can until I know that I can do better. So wisely said.

killak posted...I just noticed that Arch mentioned my TV like the champ he is.
Hah I was going to put (LAA950 for Killak) but didn't.
As for not mentioning the LH90 it is because my posts are already long winded enough and I doubt most people even read them, or care about them, or understand the model numbers anyway. I use Sony and Samsung a lot just because they are more known on this board the the model may trigger something in people.
However as for the LG, sure I think it was a good panel but I don't think they truly knocked it out of the park until the LX9500 (LE8500 for non 3D version) in 2010. The big goof on the LH90 was not separating anti-judder/blur stuff from Tru-Motion. It was all or nothing. Either choose to have 300 to 400 lines of resolution with everything off or get that hideous SOE. Plus it was "meh" on blooming when it came to the toughest tests.
As a side note this is the only time I have ever seen two identical flagship displays where one was 3D and one was not. That really is the only difference between the LX9500 and the LE8500. Also the 3D was rated the worst out of all major displays on the LX9500 so you would think might as well get the LE8500 right?
Funny thing is the LX9500 was cheaper. At one point I saw places still charging full MSRP on the LE8500 while the LX9500 could be had for almost $2,000 cheaper. Crazy.
However in the spirit of the pepsi challenge if we are talking value here the MSRP of the 55 inch LH90 was $3,000 while a 54 inch Panasonic V10 was $2,700.
Street prices dropped quickly on the LH90 but at the ond of the day I could still find a cheaper price on a V10.
Remember this is coming off the 2008 year where LCDs broke the 52 inch barrier for the first time so there was always a premium on the highest size. 55 was the highest size for the LG models where as 54 was behind both the 58 and the 65 inch V10. So it was priced modestly.
Anyhow, I'm babbling. I have nothing against the LH90.

However you have other issues as well if SD looks sharper.
Is it so odd? I've found Call of Duty games to look "sharper" in some areas graphically on an SDTV because there's no softness from extra upscaling going on. With a 1080p HDTV at 0 Sharpness/Edge Enhancement, the upscaling of the game's 1024x600 resolution looks both more detailed compared to the SDTV image, yet softer in appearance at the same time.

Look at this sharpness setting on his tvs. His comparisons are baseless as well as wrong on a gigantic scale.
On calibrated sets I have never seen a SD set look sharper than HD. Sure maybe in some cases with out of the box settings or some crazy "personal taste settings" that use torch mode, and every other wrong setting.

Oh wow, perfect topic for something I wanted to post. I'd have my HDTV for almost five years now, it's a Samsung 32" LCD 720p and I like it a lot, but one problem has been creeping up with the picture display. Basically there is some discoloration happening on the borders of my screen display. Against a grey or low color backround there will be a blue/purple-ish color hue around the border of the screen display.
A couple of years ago I started to notice it, but it was so slight that I could just ignore it. But now it seems like it is getting worse. So I'm having thoughts of buying a new HDTV but the problem doesn't seem big enough for me to warrant buying a new set. But on the other hand the problem is big enough to be distracting and annoying.
The thing is, if the picture being displayed is bright and colorful then the discoloration is not there, or at least I can't see it. So sometimes I forget about and think "gah, the problem isn't really there, no need to buy a new HDTV." But then sure enough, the next day I'll be playing a game or watching a movie and I'll see it again really bad.
So if anyone can tell me what's going on or if there are similar or common problems like this with HDTV's maybe it will be helpful for me to make a decision on whether to buy a new TV or not.

In the past four years Mike has been our agent through buying and selling a house and renting out an income property. Mike is straight up, no bull and incredibly invested in his clients. He's also charming and knowledgable which makes the whole process a lot easier. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a great partner in a complicated market.
- Anais G.
Mike is one of the most hard working realtors I have ever met. I have worked with many and so has my husband and we were never happy with their services. But MIKE GRYSPEERDT works so very hard for you, your home and his clients happiness. I have met good realtors but Mike surpasses this. He is professional, personal, GREAT at what he does, doesn't miss a thing and lastly is 110% honest. He is interested in his clients well-being and satisfaction. It doesn't get better than MIKE GRYSPEERDT! Seriously! You won't be dissappointed only really glad you made this call! to either sell your home or buy a home! Thanks Mike, you are seriously AMAZING!!!
- Jo and Eric
Found my wife and I our dream home and made sure that we got it! Can't say enough about how hard Mike worked on our deal. If you're looking for a real estate agent that truely cares about his clients and is always going above and beyond, Mike is your guy.
- Wayne J.
So many good things to say about Mike Gryspeerdt, and our experience working with him on the recent sale of our house, and the purchase of our new one. From helping us find a great contractor, to keeping us calm throughout the entire process of listing our house, to preparing an AMAZING listing/virtual tour of our property; and finally to working tirelessly to get us top dollar for our house and then finding us our absolute dream house, Mike was professional, positive, humble, honest and a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend him to anyone buying or selling! Thanks for everything Mike!
- Joelle S.
What can you say about Mike? What you see is what you get. A straight up, genuine, friendly, hard-working, enthusiastic and fun person who will sell your house easily, gently, and quickly. So easy to talk to, Mike takes all stress out of selling a house and makes it a totally enjoyable experience that is over before you know it. Highly recommend.
- Matthew M.
Mike totally came to our rescue! My husband and I had a really disappointing experience with another realtor who we listed with and did not receive a single offer. Terrifying and so frustrating. After a glowing recommendation from a good friend, we had Mike over for a chat. We ended up drinking wine and talking about our house, our families, and our dreams. We were instantly friends. Mike understood from the very beginning how emotional and challenging selling our house was going to be, given that we have a baby and two bigs dogs. Throughout the entire process he was not only lovely to work with, but he was fun! Suddenly a process that had literally reduced me to tears, felt doable and transformative. Mike reminded us that everything was going to be ok. He oversaw every step of the process from putting up the sign, to making sure the pictures/virtual tour were perfect (so gorgeous!), to finding the right listing price that we could all be happy with. And then he got us multiple offers and an over asking price bid. BOOM! I would recommend him in a heartbeat. The Toronto housing market is a jungle. Let Mike be your guide.

You know when every call, text and email leave you smiling that you've got a great working relationship with someone. Mike brought humour, speed, muscle (hauling, gardening, even window cleaning) and seamless project management to prepping my house for market – in a single week! It sold one week later with multiple offers, and everyone walked away from the table feeling good. That's a fine realtor. I'd definitely work with him again.

Mike helped us find (and get) our perfect home! We are so grateful.

Sieber, Thyne. "Real and Artifactual Components of Trends in SIDS by Race and SES, 1979-1987." PSC Research Report No. 89-149. 7 1989.
The frequency of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) as a cause of postneonatal infant mortality differs among racial and socioeconomic groups. However, it is not clear whether these group differences reflect real differences in the incidence of SIDS, or whether they are in part due to differences in the clinical practice of assigning cause of death.
There is a debate as to whether SIDS can be unambiguously diagnosed, even through autopsy, or whether it remains largely a diagnosis of exclusion. There is evidence that decedent characteristics and the training of the medical personnel assigning cause of death can affect the attributed cause. It would not be surprising if patient and parental characteristics affected the diagnosis of SIDS, for which there are few unambiguous indicators.
This paper investigates the issue of artifactual versus real differences in the level and trend in SIDS mortality by group characteristics. The data examined are linked files of birth and infant deaths for New York state (excluding New York City) for 1979- 1987.
Linear probability models are estimated looking at the proportion of postneonatal deaths that are diagnosed as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Predictor variables include race, maternal age, mother's education, birthweight, and year of death.
Although the results presented here are preliminary, they offer some support for the idea that diagnosis of cause of death is not determined in the same way for all groups in society. These findings point to the need for caution in interpreting differentials in rates and trends of SIDS over time, particularly among different racial and socioeconomic groups.

New Delhi: You can call it the D-word debate.
Economists are in a bind these days: Indian headline inflation measured by wholesale prices has dropped to near-zero, but consumer price inflation still hovers around 10%.
And then there is the problem of how to describe the drop in headline inflation—as deflation or disinflation?
Deflation denotes falling prices while disinflation means that the rate of inflation is falling. There is a world of difference between the two—and hence in the way they should be tackled.
Some economists dislike the term deflation, even as quite a few analysts have been using it to define the current economic situation, as it exaggerates the problem. They prefer to call it "disinflation". At the same time, they would prefer if it was used to highlight the downside risks to the economy if the global economy does not correct its southward drift immediately.
Deflation is the opposite of inflation. It is broadly defined as a situation when prices drift downwards, even as demand contracts as jobs and incomes get squeezed, which if not corrected could set in motion a vicious cycle of contracting incomes and jobs and in turn trigger another round of fall in demand and prices.
Different perceptions
While government economists rubbish the suggestion of deflation, terming it as a mere "statistical phenomenon" due to a higher base effect during the same period last year on account of high commodity prices, other analysts disagree.
Inflation based on wholesale prices declined to 0.44%, the first time in two decades, during the first week of March and may well turn negative. In fact, some economists aver that it would remain negative till December. The International Monetary Fund has projected an average inflation rate of 1.9% for India in 2009-10.
P.K. Padhy, economic adviser in the ministry of commerce and industry, whose office releases the headline inflation data, terms the present situation as "disinflation". "This is not deflation, rather disinflation. In a deflationary situation, decline in prices is combined with contraction in production. Even if we take the third quarter GDP data, the economy is growing at 5.3%," he says. Padhy says the high base effect and measures such as excise duty cuts under the stimulus package are key factors and expects it to be "short-lived".
Other government economists such as Prime Minister's economic advisory council chairman Suresh Tendulkar and chief statistician of India Pronab Sen argue similarly.
However, Surjit Bhalla, economist and managing director of Oxus Research and Investments, an economic research, asset management, and emerging-markets advisory firm, terms the proposition as "absolutely insane". "Inflation rate started falling since September, when there was no base effect. Even the GDP price deflator for the September-December quarter shows inflation rate at 1-2% which means price pressure is close to zero. Whatever you call it, there may be technical differences. But the fact is there is no price pressure in the economy. The focus should be to cope with that reality."
Citigroup, in a report on the economy released earlier this month, said that while India's deflationary patch is likely to be due to a high base effect and supply-side issues and be temporary in nature, it cautioned not to ignore the demand-side factors. "With both investment and consumption coming off, continued policy action is necessary to stem the deceleration in growth."
It further maintains that while deflation would result in policy rates coming down further, it could increase the problems in the real economy as expectations of falling prices would likely trigger a further reduction in consumption demand. "This results in less demand, lower production, and weak economic growth," it added.
Bleak outlook
While economists differ on whether or not this is deflation, they are united in their view that a policy palliative is imperative.
C.P. Chandrasekhar, professor in economics at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, says that "demand deflation" is also partly responsible for the current situation. "However, all of it is not due to demand deflation. In some commodities, price inflation is still occurring," he adds.
Though he does not term the current scenario deflation, he disagrees with the term disinflation. "Typically, in a deflationary situation, due to curtailment of demand, there is so much accumulation of inventories that the producers cut down their production and prices."
However, to wardoff "demand deflation" factor, he asks for more targeted fiscal measures by the government along with direct government purchases and expanding the scope of public distribution system.
Bhalla warns if the current situation persists, the outlook would worsen and further dent business confidence, contrary to the view of government economists who feel the "statistical phenomenon" will have absolutely no impact on the economy. "As the monetary authority was trigger-happy in controlling inflation, they should be equally trigger-happy in tackling a deflationary situation. The Reserve Bank of India should cut policy rates much further," he added.
In fact, given that consumer inflation for industrial workers is at 10.45% January, some economists believe the time may have come to replace the existing measure of headline inflation.
"The current WPI (Wholesale Price Index) inflation is calculated upon a base year which is 15 years old (1993-94). Though it is debatable whether this underestimates or overestimates inflation, however, it does not reflect the ground reality. A more representative inflation index is needed, not necessarily for the current development," Padhy said.

Here are two good shows which are basically running opposite each other. So you'll have to pick one or the other.
The Radigan Roundup is run by Terry Radigan on Sundays at Park Slope's 12th Street Bar and Grill. As usually, Terry will play a short set and is joined tonight by Andi Rae Healy, Jeff Litman, Benjamin Cartel, Jessie Kilguss, and Kevin James Doyle. At the Roundup, the music is usually stripped down and things are loose and spontaneous. Things will get going tonight at 7:30pm and run through 10:30pm, but getting to The 12th Street Bar and Grill early for a seat (the place is on the small size) is not a bad idea.
Over in the East Village, you'll find Wild Honey at The Treehouse. This tribute to The Beach Boys' 1967 album features Tom Shad, Dave Foster, Dennis Diken, Mike Fornatale, Lane Steinberg, Charles Roth, and Mary Spencer Knapp. Opening the evening will be Shira Averbuch. She will be previewing songs from her upcoming debut album Till The Sun Comes with Paul Carbonara.
The Radigan Roundup with Terry Radigan, Andi Rae Healy, Jeff Litman, Benjamin Cartel, Jessie Kilguss, and Kevin James Doyle, 12th Street Bar and Grill, 1123 8th Avenue – enter on 12th Street, Park Slope (F or G Trains to 7th Avenue, use the 8th Avenue exit), 7:30pm, No Cover, (but a contribution for the musicians is highly encouraged)
Wild Honey at The Treehouse (Shira Averbuch opens), Treehouse at 2A, 25 Avenue A between Houston and 2nd Streets (F Train to 2nd Avenue, use the 1st Avenue exit, F Train to Delancey Street or J Train to Essex Street), 9pm, No Cover (but a contribution for the musicians is highly encouraged)

He might be 53, but Jean-Claude Van Damme isn't showing his age. In a commercial that's gone viral — he says he's had his ups and downs. But he can still do this.
VAN DAMME: "What you see is a body crafted to perfection." (Via YouTube / Volvo Trucks)
As the camera zooms out, two trucks driving in reverse steer apart from each other causing the "muscles from Brussels" to do the splits. Surprisingly, he doesn't lose his balance even a little during the stunt. (Via ABC)
But is this believable? Volvo says the stunt is completely real. One thing that's missing from the ad is some safety equipment, which Volvo says was digitally edited out. (Via NBC)
And if there were any doubts about safety, Examiner reports there apparently weren't any concerns because of the vehicles.
"[The] stunt coordinator ... was adamant that despite how dangerous it looked, the stunt was 100 percent safe thanks to the precision drivers and Volvo Dynamic Steering."
And that's what Volvo says it was trying to point out with its commercial.
More popular and trending stories
At the end of this piece, Volvo explains: "This test was set up to demonstrate the stability and precision of Volvo Dynamic Steering."
The stunt was done in a closed area with two experienced drivers. Van Damme said he decided to do the "epic split" because he thought the concept was "amazing." The video has gained more than seven million views on YouTube since Wednesday.

Dear APF Supporter:
I'm Dr. Robert Kelman, an emergency physician from Detroit, Michigan, and have been involved with this stellar organization for more than 13 years. Among the greatest gifts it's given me is being able to form an abiding bond as a health professional with our Israeli counterparts.
I first learned about APF after the horrific Park Hotel bombing that took place in Netanya, Israel, on the first night of Pesach 2002. Eager to help, I was elated to discover this organization, which is the only one of its kind with a disaster registry to be endorsed by the Israel Ministry of Health. Almost immediately I signed up for its Emergency Medical Volunteer registry and joined an active roster of North American volunteer doctors, nurses, medics, therapists and other healthcare professionals who fly to Israel on a moment's notice to man hospitals and clinics when their Israeli staffs rush to treat crisis victims. In 2005 I took APF's Emergency Disaster Preparedness Course in Israel, and over the next decade got deeply involved in developing a robust Michigan Chapter.
I look forward to expanding APF's reach, including bringing more medical professionals into the volunteer registry. I also plan to open additional regional chapters and recruit world-class speakers to discuss our work as well as developments in the healthcare field in Israel. This will widen our circle of volunteers and supporters. And the larger that circle, the more help we can provide.
But I can't do this without your help. I welcome your suggestions for ways we can grow. Your active participation is what enables us to fulfill our mission to helping Israel.
Robert J. Kelman, MD, APF President

My Favorite Tom Hanks Movies
Few actors have a career like that of Tom Hanks. It wasn't easy to make this list, since there are so many long-forgotten gems in the VHS box. But after careful study, here are my favorite Hanks films.
Saving Private Ryan
Such an honest performance of a man fighting a war out of a sense of honor and duty. He doesn't want to be there, but thank God he is.
Forrest Gump
How can you not fall in love with America's charming man-child as he hijacks history.
Toy Story 2
Better than the original? Just barely!
Electric Dad
He's the dad we all wanted, and the robot we all needed. He was robbed of an Oscar for this one.
Disney's Catcher in the Rye
A new character was added to the dull and dreary story of Holden Caulfield, and who better to play Holden's funny and lighthearted chauffeur than Hanks himself! Hanks' character, Mr. Blythe, uttered the now-iconic line, "You keep Holden on to those dreams, Mr. Caulfield." One of cinema's most beautiful death scenes.
Slow Down, Vanessa!
He's a nerdy helicopter pilot. She's a college senior on Spring Break who wants to take a flying lesson. And we're just along for the ride in this early entry into the Hanks oeuvre. Continue reading My Favorite Tom Hanks Movies
Daylight Savings
Daylight Savings
By Dan Bergstein
It was the second Sunday of March, and so Max was standing in line at the bank eager to withdraw his Daylight Savings. He had saved so much daylight this year, more than he had ever saved before. For the past six months, Max had deposited every ray, gleam, glow and beam of extra daylight, even if it meant waking up at dark and going to bed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Max knew that if you saved enough daylight during those cold winter months, you could withdraw it on the second Sunday of March and spend the daylight any way you'd like.
Some would use their saved daylight a little at a time, spending a few rays of sunshine during the relaxed summer nights. But Max had bigger plans. He would use his saved daylight to explore Tunkman's Cave! And if there was enough daylight left over, he would have an all-night picnic with his friends. Continue reading Daylight Savings
My Daily Writing Routine
Creative people have different daily routines. Some writers wake up early to write; some can only work late into the night. We all have our quirks. Because I'm fascinated with the routines of other writers, I felt I should share my own daily routine. Maybe this will work for you. It works for me!
I wake up every day at 9 a.m. and quickly count my toes. I have not seen my toes in many hours and I need to reassure myself that the toes are A)still there and B)facing the right way. After that, I check the bed for any dream artifacts — items from a dream that can come through the dream world and end up in your bed (e.g. ukuleles, frying pan, ducks, a scrap of the serial killer's shirt, etc.).
Then I come up with an idea for a novel.
Then I slowly get out of bed and check my phone for messages and spiders. Spiders can crawl into your phone and lay eggs. This is where the saying, "Ya got spider babies in that phone, son!" comes from.
If no spiders are present, I reward my phone with a sticker. If there are spiders, the phone is placed in the punishment shed.
I put on my socks and pants and shirt and tie and apron and goggles.
Then I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth to remove all the food ghosts haunting my mouth. This takes an hour or so. Continue reading My Daily Writing Routine
