In His Own Words
Published: October 21, 1993
Excerpts from Mayor David N. Dinkins's stump speech:
"So I want folks to know just who Rudolph Giuliani is. It's difficult, I admit, because he changes his positions a lot. I say he's running for weather vane: he's got to see which way the wind is blowing to decide his position.
People ask him, what is your position on rent control? He says, rent regulation is too emotional an issue in which to become involved in a mayoral contest. That's what he said, until he found out that I was going to Albany and then he changed his position and came to Albany and said, me too. . . .
My first priority was fiscal stability because if we didn't maintain fiscal stability and balance budgets on time we would lose the right to govern ourselves. And no way was I going to permit that, even though Herman Badillo in recent months has said we ought to let the Financial Control Board take over. That's what he said, but it's understandable coming from him since back in the 1970's he counseled bankruptcy for the city of New York. People need to know these things, they need to know these things before they vote. . . .
So we got our fiscal stability. The next priority we had, the next thing we really worried about, was to make sure we were safe and secure. So we completed a study of our Police Department that had not been done in a quarter-century. It became the foundation for what is called Safe Streets, Safe City -- community policing. More police officers put on the street than we've had in recent years. We've hired 9,000 cops since I've been Mayor, for a net of 5,700, pretty close to 6,000, and more coming.
And crime is down in the seven major F.B.I. index categories for the first time in 36 years, and for more than two consecutive years. Down in the major areas. Giuliani says, well, crime is not really down, they're just not arresting as many people. Well, you know, you've got less crime, there are fewer things for which people ought to be arrested, that makes sense.
And moreover, among the categories is homicide. Where do you think they are hiding the bodies? He says they are not down, so they are hiding the bodies somewhere, I guess. Nonsense, crime is down. I appreciate that that's not the perception. If any one of you has been the victim of a crime or you have a friend or relative who has been, these statistics mean little to you, I couldn't agree more. But the fact is that crime is down, down 28 percent in the subways, down about 18 or 19 percent in the N.Y.C. Housing Authority projects, and we're doing more. . . .
I've got a lot of ideas. We are having our libraries open now six days a week for the first time since 1947. Why did we not do this before? We had money in the boom years of the 80's -- why did we not hire more cops then, why did we not open our libraries then? I don't know, but I'm doing it now, under difficult circumstances. Rudolph Giuliani says these things don't matter. I think they matter, and I think the people of our city think that they matter."

Yeah, right, the family meal? Every day! {Are you laughing?} That is my reaction every time I read an article "backed by research" discussing how children who sit down with their family for dinner every night are happier, more well adjusted, and will get into an ivy league college. The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized that I (and probably millions of other parents) are ... Continue Reading
Creative DIY Nature Themed Mother's Day Gifts
I am a sucker for Mother's Day! I have fond, vivid memories of waking up early on a Sunday morning. My brother, sister, and I would work hard to make (the worst) breakfast for my mother, ever. She always wore a smile and appreciated the effort. I am laughing now just thinking of it. Mother's Day is special. We celebrate the matriarch of our family. We also celebrate and honor the "moms" in our ... Continue Reading
What to Do to Rock Storytelling with Older Children
Yesterday my oldest son and I handed my camera back and forth taking picture after picture, alternating the perspective from him to me.

Remember that the you're photographing, think about the story are you telling." He ... Continue Reading
Celebrate Valentine's Day with Family or Your Class with this Cool Idea

My mom always let us stay up to ring in the new year. Watching the ball drop in the noisy, bright, joyful Times Square was a big deal. For us, New Year's celebrated family, new hopes, and big dreams.

What to Say to a Child Who Has Lost a Parent
My father died on a warm 1977 August day, six months after my twin sister and I were born. When a friend recently, genuinely asked me: "You don't remember your father at all then, right? Since you were so young?" I nodded my head in agreement. My heart, though, screamed a totally different response. Do I remember the first time my mother held me after hearing the shocking ...

Greek Mythology
Theo Baltas
May 21,2014
What is Mythology: Mythology are stories tell by person about Mythical creatures. Not only Mythical creatures but gods and goddesses too. The term "mythology" can refer either to the study of myths or to a body or collection of myths. For example, landscape mythology is the study of landscape features in terms of totemistic mythology, whereas Hittite mythology is the body of myths of the Hittites.
Name: Zeus
Description: God of the sky.
He was the god of the Olympians.
He was the father of Perseus and Heracles.
He was the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea.
Mythical Creature
Name: The Minotaur
Creator: Queen Pasiphae
Description: Half men,Half Bull. Body of a men and Head of a Bull.
"Minotaur" was originally a proper noun in reference to this mythical figure. The use of "minotaur" as a common noun to refer to members of a generic race of bull-headed creatures developed much later, in 20th-century fantasy genre fiction. Androgeus, son of Minos, had been killed by the Athenians, who were jealous of the victories he had won at the Panathenaic festival. Others say he was killed at Marathon by the Cretan bull, his mother's former taurine lover, which Aegeus, king of Athens, had commanded him to slay.
Myth Summary
Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.
Mythical narration plays an important role in nearly every genre of Greek literature.
Modern day connections
Today the mythology gives us a lot of mythical stories for kids. It gives us some ideas to create things that could be useful. Example: Games,Book,Project for school etc... Nike's where created because one night Jeff Johnson was dreaming about Nike the god of victory and in the morning told his boss that name and his boss was delighted. For Example: Athens ,Ohio or Minerva, Kentucky Etc.

So, the Google Migration Utility for Exchange is broken by design.
Everyone on the planet knows about the MS non standard headers.
It's been like this for a decade or more.
Eudora and Thunderbird seem to have no problem with reading them, but Google is apparently above accommodating them, and displays "Unknown Sender" instead.
I found this out when I tried migrating some users from PST's.
So, I ended up just piping email through Thunderbird, which is able to read and populate the headers properly.
Only problem is the retarded Iphone, which apparently doesn't sort by date at all, but by some internal counter, so if you move a chunk of old messages into gmail, the old messages appear at the top until they're push down by newly arriving messages.

Google is free by and large so I would give them leeway over the others.

Google App Biz is not remotely free - unless you are on the Mom n Pop edition.

Back when I was evaluating solutions, Google was a no brainer. I am ALWAYS annoyed by Apple. I am not sure if it is the devoted followers or the company itself (awfully hard to choose). Microsoft, on the other hand, have always had my favorite products, but their licensing was not as exciting.
Google was out choice and I was able to (3 years ago) migrate Exchange 2003 mailboxes and system with no issue. Only around 75 boxes, but... We have gone Gmail (well GAFYD) and never turned back... Love it.

As a pedestrian, I recognize the fact that I have the right of way generally.
However, I fee like a jerk if I step off the curb without waiting for a driver to slow slightly and wave or acknowledge me somehow. In situations where the driver will have to slow down whether I wait for acknowledgement or not, I always wait for the wave.
Whats more annoying, boldly assuming that drivers will accept your right of way, or making them wait a couple of extra seconds to wave you past?
- Waiting for them to wave.Vote A
- Stepping in front of them without waiting for a wave.Vote B

Mr. Wells is the quintessential example of how one should practice law, care and serve for his clients, keep at it, get results and do it all along without ever an overcharge. He is a pure reflection of the oath they all swear to uphold, but rare few practice.

Yesterday was a tough day.
I worked til almost 8pm last night.
I got home and took a shower. Ate dinner. And started watching netflix.
Then I got up to go outside to smoke a cigarette.
It was then that I looked at my phone and noticed that my brother had tried to get in touch with me.
He had sent me a message on Facebook asking if I still had the same phone number.
Seeing that message, I already knew what he was trying to get in touch with me about.
I went outside and as I was responding to my brothers message I noticed that my father had also tried to get in touch with me.
So I called my dad, and he told me that at 7:30pm last night, my grandmother passed away.
My family and I had not been very close because of the fact that I was always getting in trouble.
I had spent most of my adult life incarcerated and because of that, my family had distanced themselves from me.
But since coming home after a 7 year prison sentence and working extremely hard to better myself, I've been repairing the bridges I had burned with my family.
They gave me a chance to prove I was done with the bullshit.
And I most certainly have been.
No more bullshit.
No more trouble.
I'm older now, and I'm ready to find the success I know I can achieve.
In December of this past year, my father invited me to his home where my grandmother and aunt were visiting.
This was the first time in probably like 15 years I had seen my grandmother and aunt.
I was so happy to see them, and I had so much to tell them about.
I had just been released from prison on October 13th and since then I had been working like a mad man to find a good job, and also to get AfterPrisonShow off the ground.
I wanted to show my family all the hard work I was putting into the idea of turning my life around.
I showed my grandmother the videos we had created up until that point and she was so proud of me and what I was trying to accomplish.
I spent the afternoon at my fathers home with my grandmother and it was an amazing feeling reuniting with her.
But it was also bittersweet.
I knew leaving that afternoon that that would be the last time I would see my grandmother alive.
She had been battling cancer and it was progressively getting worse. And this reunion of sorts was just for that exact reason…
For me to see my grandmother one last time before she passed.
How the hell do you say goodbye to someone you know you will never see again.
It's only now that shes gone that I sit and ask myself should I have done more.?
I'm sure its always like that.
My grandmother lives in Massachusetts so visiting wasn't really feasible for me. Hell, I'm not even supposed to leave the state.
Her funeral is next Wednesday.
I'm hoping my probation will allow me to attend that.
I remember telling my grandmother that I'm really going to make something of myself. And I remember the slight skepticism I saw in her reaction to hearing that.
They had heard it all before. So I couldn't help but accept that.
My track record isn't exactly one to assure positive results.
But even since telling my grandmother that I'd make her proud of me one day on that afternoon at my fathers house, so many months ago, I've stayed the course and I've kept driven like no one else I know.
Her passing only intensifies that drive inside me to make it….
Not only for myself but also for my family.
I miss you Grandma Grace and I know your in a better place now watching down over me.
Even though your gone, I know your going to see me make it.
Rest in peace Grandma Grace.

How to Avoid Identity Theft
By: Hope Atkins
Identity theft can easily be avoided, below are ways to avoid identity theft happening to you.
Your trash is their treasure, make sure when throwing away bank statements, credit card offers, and receipts that they cannot be read by someone else.
Only carry essential documents with you. By not carrying your birth certificate, social security number, and passport you reduce your chance of identity theft.
Be careful when you give your personal information over the phone. Do not give out information unless you're the one who placed the call and you know who you are talking to.
Make sure to use secure PINs and passwords. Passwords that come from birthdays are not secure. Use different PINs and passwords for various websites and credit cards.
Always check websites security symbols when shopping online. If the symbol is not there, do not give out credit card information. Do not shop from random websites, they could end up not being legitimate.

كيفية استئجار العمال من شأنها أن تدفع رواتبهم الخاصة
Whether you know it or not, you need to hire workers that will pay their own salaries if your business is to move forward and become a mature company. You may not know it yourself, but you contribute one way or the other to paying yourself when you work as an employee with another employer – everything you do in your office or workplace contributes to company-generated revenue which is used to pay you.

Designer & Head Stylists Notes
Bec's favourite dress (and she is our resident fashionista!) Blanc is a showstopper, it's such an exciting dress to wear, you will be dying to put it on! Every angle is a treat for the senses and it's got a great mix of modern edge with classic modesty. Blanc is great for the woman wanting to keep a certain amount of tradition but still have a huge WOW effect. We can't decide if our favourite feature is the back (which is insanely beautiful) or the sleeve and front.
Would love to see Blanc worn with your hair in a loose top not, a bold lip and killer heels.
Complete The Look
- Dosa heels
- Salita earrings
- Chase choker (for an even higher neck)
Special Notes + Questions
You can wear adhesive cups for shape and support, however nothing is required.
What underwear do I wear?
We recommend wearing skin coloured, seamless underwear.
Is the dress see-through at all?
Lined in all the right places; the bust and skirt are lined with an ivory stretch lining, however the rest of the gown is sheer.
What does it feel like to wear?
Ultra comfortable due to the luxurious stretch laces and breathable arms, back and side of legs.
How long does it take for my dress to be made?
Generally our brides order between 6-24 months in advance. We require a minimum of 5 months to hand make our beautiful dresses. For urgent last minute orders please email [email protected]
How is my dress made?
All of our dresses are designed and hand made at our studio on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Can I alter the design of my dress?
We would love to give every Grace girl what they request in terms of alterations, however each and every one of our gowns undergo intensive design processes to ensure that the fit, feel and balance of each dress is absolutely perfect. Therefore, we do not offer customisations, unless stated.
What if I lose/gain weight?
Our designs are crafted from luxurious stretch lace, so often if you drop a size in weight, the original size still fits beautifully. If not, it is also very easy to have the dress altered by a professional seamstress if you would like it to be a little more fitted. Your measurements will determine which size you fall into.
Furthermore, we go to every effort to ensure your dress is the right fit. If you place your order well in advance of your wedding date then we can confirm your size right before your dress goes into production.

text: Medgenics, Inc. (NYSE Amex: MDGN and AIM: MEDU, MEDG), the developer of a novel technology for the sustained production and delivery of therapeutic proteins in patients using their own tissue, today announced receipt of clearance from the Israeli Ministry of Health to initiate a Phase IIa clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of sustained erythropoietin ("EPO") therapy produced and delivered by the Company's EPODURE™ Biopumps™. The study will assess EPODURE's ability to replace months of routine EPO injections for the treatment of anemia in patients with end-stage renal disease ("ESRD" or "kidney failure") who are on dialysis. EPODURE is an autologous dermal Biopump, a small tissue implant made from the patient's own dermal (skin) tissue, processed to enable it to continuously produce EPO. EPODURE Biopumps are subsequently implanted subcutaneously into the patient to provide continuous delivery of EPO. "Our EPODURE Biopump technology offers potential advantage over current therapy because it enables patients to continuously produce and deliver their own EPO within the normal physiological range. Sustained delivery of EPO is expected to help keep hemoglobin within the target range to reduce the risks of hemoglobin variability, while avoiding the possible risks posed by EPO concentrations many times the normal physiological range, as observed with EPO administrations. EPODURE could potentially be a safer anemia management tool. Additionally, the cost benefits for the management of anemia could be highly significant," said Andrew L. Pearlman, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Medgenics. This open-label Phase IIa study will enroll up to 20 dialysis patients with anemia due to ESRD who have been receiving routine EPO injections three times per week. Each patient will receive an individually targeted initial dose of EPODURE Biopumps designed to produce levels of EPO that would replace the routine EPO injections over a period of 4-12 months. The EPODURE dose may be adjusted if needed by adding or removing Biopumps, emulating the standard care, dose adjustments, currently made with injected EPO. The study's objective is to maintain hemoglobin levels within the desired therapeutic range without the need for EPO injections. The study will be conducted at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center by principal investigator Doron Schwartz, M.D., Head of the Center's Nephrology Department. The Ministry of Health has approved the Company's commencement of the recruitment and treatment of patients, subject to a follow-up safety review on June 19, 2012, similar to the protocol followed in the Phase I/II pre-dialysis study.

Winn-Dixie Offers Fuel Rewards
North Florida residents offered a break on gas prices.
JACKSONVILLE -- Recognizing the impact rising gas prices have on customers, Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. launched a pilot "fuelperks!" program in Northwest Florida, which will provide savings at participating locations, the Jacksonville Business Journal reported.
"The fuelperks! program affords our Customer Rewards Card (CRC) customers tremendous value and helps them stretch their paychecks just a little further during these difficult economic times," Winn-Dixie spokeswoman, Robin Miller, said in a statement.
Miller explained for every qualified $50 purchase customers make using a newly redesigned CRC at one of 11 Panama City locations, they will receive a 10 cents per gallon fuel discount redeemable at any one of 13 area Chevron, BP and Shell locations.
The campaign is a result of a partnership with the Irving, Texas-based Excentus Corp., a fuel-based marketing, technology and integration services company. Winn-Dixie is the company's 90th U.S. client.
Customers can keep track of their fuelperks by reviewing sales receipts, or by visiting www.winn-dixie.com/fuelperks to review account balances.

How many stages of Alzheimer's are there?
How many stages of Alzheimer's are there?
Expert Answers
Thank you for your question. However, I must begin by saying that if you have a loved one whom you suspect may have dementia or is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, please have him or her evaluated by a geriatric neurologist. If, however, you are seeking the answer to that question for your own edification, I am happy to provide the following response.
Over the past several years, the patterns and stages of cognitive diseases and age-related mental decline have been well documented.
The first challenge facing anyone dealing with even the earliest indications of cognitive decline is to verify the origin of the problem, which goes back to being certain it is not depression or a physiological health problem that is causing signs or symptoms. The issue is that not everyone will experience every symptom and symptoms may occur at different times in different individuals. The reason for urgency in getting a definitive diagnosis is that people with Alzheimer's disease die an average of four to six years after diagnosis, but as stated earlier, the duration of the disease varies from 3 to 10 years. The earlier treatments, use of available medicines, and long range planning can be done, the better it is for both the patient and the family.
It cannot be overstated that if there are any symptoms of cognitive changes, be sure to have a competent neurologist or geriatrics-trained physician conduct tests to determine the actual problem. Watchful waiting does not help. Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is devastating, but so too is not planning for the future that both patient and the caregiver will face.
Years ago it was widely accepted that there were three main stages of Alzheimer's disease: Early or Mild Stage, Moderate or Mid-Stage, and Late, Severe or End -Stage. Today those stages have been expanded to accommodate the fuller scope of the progression of the disease, beginning with the earliest sub-stage of no memory loss.
We know that Alzheimer's disease neither progresses nor affects every victim in the same way, so these symptoms will not always fit every situation in terms of the degree of severity or the timeframe in which it might occur. There will be good and bad days, and symptoms will vary. Some people will experience many symptoms, others only a few, but the overall progress of the disease is fairly predictable.
In all stages, symptoms generally relate to the progressive impairment of mental processes including: memory function, communications problems, personality changes, erratic behavior, dependence and loss of control over bodily functions. Here are the 7-stages commonly associated with AD.
Stage 1: No cognitive impairment Individuals in this stage experience no memory problems. There are no signs of memory-related problems during daily activities or during normal medical interviews with a health care professional.
Stage 2: Very mild cognitive decline Individuals at this stage are self-aware that they have memory lapses, forget familiar words, and can't recall names or the location of their keys, or other everyday objects. But their problems are often hidden and not evident to family or friends, and may not be observed during a medical examination
Stage 3: Mild cognitive decline At this point in the progression of the disease, early-stage Alzheimer's can be diagnosed in some cases. Family and friends are more likely to begin noticing problems such as the person's: a. Inability to remember names or words. b. Decline in job performance. c. Confusion or poor judgment. d. Lack of energy or spontaneity. e. Difficulty performing routine tasks. f. Increased frequency of becoming angry or frustrated. g. Trouble communicating and understanding written material. h. Behaviors like withdrawing, avoiding people and new places. i. Minor memory loss, moods swings, and slower reactions to some verbal directions.
Stage 4: Moderate cognitive decline This stage is considered to be mild or early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Friends and family are aware of the cognitive decline, and a qualified medical professional is very likely to recognize the patient's cognitive issues. At this stage the problems can have a wide-ranging impact and may include: a. Inability to recall recent events. b. The individual may invent words. c. Difficulty recognizing familiar people. d. Fading memories of their own lives & personal events that happened. e. They may no longer be safe alone or may begin to wander outside of the home. f. Speech problems arise and understanding, reading and writing are more difficult. g. Loss of arithmetic skills "" the patient is unable to count backward from 100 by 7s. h. Decreased knowledge of recent events such as what they did the previous weekend. i. Declining ability to do complex tasks like pay bills promptly or balancing a checkbook. j. The affected individual may seem withdrawn in socially or mentally challenging situations. k. Alzheimer's patients may demonstrate various behaviors that range from depression, to irritability, restlessness and apathy.
Stage 5: Mid-stage or Moderately severe cognitive decline In this stage, the Alzheimer's patient can still perform simple tasks independently, but often requires assistance with more complicated activities. Symptoms in this stage may include: a. Becoming more disoriented to time and place or disconnected from reality. b. Awareness of their loss of control, demonstrating various behaviors that range from depression, to irritability, restlessness, withdrawal and apathy. They may also experience sleep disturbances and may have increased difficulty eating, grooming and dressing. c. Assistance with day-to-day activities is more likely to be necessary. d. The need to be accompanied to all medical appointments so personal history, current contact information and recent episodes or events can be reported. e. Inaccurate recall of their personal history, although they generally recall their own name. f. The need for assistance in dressing for the proper season or occasion. Stage 6: Severe cognitive decline In this stage, memory difficulties continue to worsen, significant personality changes may emerge, and the patient may require extensive help with daily activities (ADLs). At this late stage patients: a. May recall their names, but not their personal history. b. Require assistance with several activities of daily living (ADLs). c. Are no longer aware of recent experiences, events or their surroundings. d. Recognize some familiar faces, but often forget the names of their spouse or caregivers.
Stage 7: End-Stage or Very severe cognitive decline This is the final stage of the disease when individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, their ability to speak, and ultimately, the ability to control their own movements. Most patients: a. Suffer from impaired swallowing. b. Need help to eat, use finger foods or may have to be fed. c. Reflexes become abnormal and muscles become more rigid. d. Suffer from urinary and fecal incontinence and must be accompanied to the toilet. e. Lose their capacity for recognizable speech, but may say certain words on occasion. f. In the last stages, they lose the ability to walk without assistance, often followed by loss of their ability to sit without support, the ability to smile or even hold their heads upright.
In end stage Alzheimer's disease, death may come from pneumonia, inability to swallow, failure to thrive, or one of many other medical issues. The cause of death is not always Alzheimer's per se, but death often stems from having suffered and debilitated as a result of having had Alzheimer's disease.
I hope you find this explanation helpful, it was taken verbatim from my book, "Caring for a Loved One With Alzheimer's Disease." Again, if you're dealing with a loved one, and that is the basis for your question, I suggest you get a professional opinion from a geriatric neurologist to help with an accurate assessment and diagnosis.
Best of luck.

|State-Based Versus Federally-Facilitated Health Insurance Exchanges of the Affordable Care Act: A Qualitative Analysis of State Decision-Making
|Rosen, Steven
|Howard, Heather
|Woodrow Wilson School
|Class Year:
|Health Insurance Exchanges are a key provision of the Affordable Care Act. The ACA allows states the option to design and to implement a state-based exchange using federal grants. Many states, however, have decided not to create their own exchanges and, consequently, have defaulted to a federally created and operated exchange. State decision-making regarding exchanges is a recent topic with little, clear analysis of the factors that led to states' decisions. This paper attempts to answer the question: Why did so many states default to the federal exchange while others have been successfully implementing state-based exchanges? Since there is no comprehensive analysis of the factors that were and were not integral to states' decisions regarding the creation of exchanges, the primary purpose of this paper is to explain the general trend of conservative states defaulting to the federal exchange. The factors that state leaders claim to have considered in their decisions include the extent and speed of federal regulatory guidance, the amount of information available about the Federally-facilitated exchange and the ability of their states to successfully implement state exchanges. By analyzing these claims through reports on state actions, through comparisons with states that are creating their own exchanges and through interviews with health insurance exchange experts, these claims from conservative state leaders appear that they were not, by themselves, the deciding factors for most states. Additionally, conservatives may be ideologically opposed to the ACA, but they historically have favored state control over federal control of health insurance exchanges. Some states explicitly opposed state-based exchanges for political purposes. For other states, conservative assertions about the prohibitory nature of limited federal regulations, the short exchange-planning timeline, and the lack of information about the federal exchange were resultant of the prevailing political atmosphere. Overall, politics, practiced by both the states and the federal government, was at the core of states' decisions to either implement state-based health insurance exchanges or default to the federal exchange. Although states could benefit more from tailored state-based exchanges than from a federal exchange, the states that would have benefitted the most from the ACA also were the states that defaulted to the federal exchange. Politics, however, explains why some conservative states sacrificed state-based exchanges in order to obtain the greater benefits of the Medicaid expansion. Most tellingly, despite defaulting to the federal exchange, several conservative states have been attempting to take control of some functions of their exchanges without officially operating partnership exchanges. This arrangement demonstrates both states' willingness to take responsibility in their exchanges and the politics that has prevented them from officially collaborating with the federal government.

Elaine and Arthur Jack Sackville-West IIII purchased the land in 1997. Jack is a retired Air Force engineer and an architect. He and Elaine designed both buildings. In 1999 they moved from their lake home and began building. BJ&R & Ray Bonney built the guesthouse weather tight while Elaine and Jack built the barn as storage for their household goods. While living in their travel trailer, they finished the guesthouse and shop. In 2001 Ray built the house weather tight. This time the used some subcontractors, but Jack designed and built the kitchen and oak cabinet and workstation to Elaine's specifications. Elaine created the stained glass. Together they built and enjoyed their home.
In 2004 they began the Knole Guesthouse Vacation Rental which operated until the summer of 2011. At this time they decided to downsize and move closer to family and friends and travel as much as possible. They named their home Knole House and the Guesthouse stayed a Knole Guesthouse.
The original Knole House is an English country house in the town of Seven Oaks in west Kent England. It is reputed to be a calendar house, having 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards. The house was built between 1456 and 1486 and owned by King Henry VIII in 1538. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, in 1566 it came into the possession of her cousin Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset, whose descendants the Earl and Dukes of Dorset and Barons Sackville have lived there since 1603. Today the house is in the care of the National Trust but the Lord Sackville-West family still considers more than half the house as their home and they still own the gardens and surrounding estate. The house was pictured in the film, 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. In our entry hall is a picture of Knole House and brass rubbing of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn done by Elaine and Jack during their visit to England and Knole House in 1983 where they met Lord and Lady Sackville-West.

Reviewer Comments:
Enjoyed the house, the location and the history. Very well appointed, with good quality and well planned kitchen stuff. We loved the decorative touches. We visited both parks in the area, as well as the beach and some wonderful local restaurants. Also visited Astoria and "The Column" which is a nice drive - about 20 minutes? - over a beautiful bridge. We will probably return, but would choose the big house which has more bedrooms and better views. We were unable to find bed linens for the two living room beds. Sheets we found did not fit. Blankets/quilts stored in closets need to be laundered. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and will think about coming back to stay in the big house. It was difficult to use the DVD player in LR because inputs were blocked by the TV wall hanger. Manager was very responsive and brought a new DVD player, but the problem was blocked hookups.

Overall good. Some minor issues. Code for key and instructions on where, how, and when to get the key not part of email or attachments sent to me. There was a code required for movies rated more mature than PG-14, there was no wifi (missing cable connection between router and reciever)

The house was nice. No one told us the exterior would be under construction. Most of the plugs in the kitchen did not work. The hide a bed is like a torture rack. Location was good. Overall house was nice but it needs a bit of sprucing up and some mattresses replaced.

Pros: Location! This is a quiet and peaceful spot. Deer roam the tall grass and are easily spotted. Very quiet area and we were not bothered at all. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need. We were very satisfied with the kitchen and this is the one thing that is perfect. Bedrooms are good sized and one of them has very large closet space. Bathroom is large with small sitting/changing area and a washer and dryer. Bathroom is stocked well. Plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and laundry soap. Access to and from the beach was perfect. Path was not marked well because signs are laying n ground.Leads to an area on the beach that was almost always clear of other people. Living room closet was stocked with kites and other useful items for the kids. Very thoughtful. Cons: Property is showing its age. The exterior appears to be under construction as half of the house is missing siding and was exposed with just tar paper. the replacement siding was just laying in the yard along with equipment. The living room furniture is past its prime. Recliner is missing a handle and will not recline and the couch/bed was pretty uncomfortable. The gas grill had a rusted and falling apart tank connected. There was a spare tank but I did not trust the condition of the grill to use. It needs a cover of some sort. The wifi appears to be connected from the main house. We were unable to get reliable wifi service in the guest house and set up our own hotspots for wifi service. This was a disappointment. tldr: I wanted to really love this place but it I am split with how I feel. I felt that for the price, I would have expected the condition to represent the photos. Wish we'd know about the construction ahead of time. We loved the location and privacy but this property needs some TLC before we would consider renting again.

The home looked as if it was under construction, siding was off and not pictured as seen. I called twice because the lockbox door was difficult and I could not get it back on and no response from the management team, even acknowledging that the message was received.

Soul Worker – Surprise publisher for Southeast Asia region announced
With Soul Worker (or SoulWorker) confirmed for North America and Europe back in April, gamers from other locations were anxious to find out if they are getting their own regional servers. Today, it was announced Smilegate has signed the publishing rights for Soul Worker for Southeast Asia, South America, and will also take over the South Korea market from SEGA Publishing Korea.
If you did not know, Smilegate is a Korean studio which almost closed down years ago, until Tencent started publishing its game, CrossFire, in China and became the world's biggest Free-to-Play game ever. These days, the founder of Smilegate is one of South Korea's richest man and you might heard about a MMORPG known as Lost Ark. To be honest, I am still in a minor shock over this piece of news!

I wonder ..does that means there's a chance for lost ark to come here (in SEA) ?
huh? so its going to be english translate for sea or its korean language?
srsly there's no way it'll be korean language in SEA, 90% people in my country (Indonesia) won't be able to understand at all (including me) and i believe the rest of the country in SEA didn't understand either
but it is smilegate company is korean company, not an SG / MY company. and they even lie to the world once, they said before lost ark going to be global at 1st launch. but where? its getting korean language.
Because its not launching yet? ..there just beta. If it come here it will be in english, just like how they did with crossfire (they publish it here but its dead) which is in english
they already announced that they are going to focus on the korean release and won't bother with a global release until they're ready
i think it will be english translate like any other game in sea
when will be Released On English Version of iT ??? please Tell Me nEws ive Been waiting 5 years Now …..
when will it come to sea?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Tuesday he has decided not to run again for president, saying he will instead remain a "little foot soldier of the revolution."
Hardliner Ahmadinejad, 59, was Iranian president for eight years until 2013, a time in which the country became increasingly isolated from the international community.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in the Islamic Republic, had spoken out against Ahmadinejad's potential return to the presidency.
Reports earlier this week said that while Khamenei had not issued a formal ban on the candidacy, he had advised the ex-president in a private meeting not to stand in the election, set for May 19, 2017.
The ISNA news agency reported Tuesday that Ahmadinejad wrote Khamenei a letter to say he would not seek the office.
"I'm not going to compete, and will remain a little foot soldier of the revolution and servant of the people," he wrote.
Ahmadinejad had hinted at his potential comeback several times since the start of the year and has expressed his desire to topple the current incumbent, reformist Hassan Rowhani.
After a drubbing by the reformists in parliamentary elections in February, many hardliners saw Ahmadinejad as the only hope for toppling Rowhani, but Khamenei's intervention extinguished those hopes.
The populist Ahmadinejad could potentially have exploited Rowhani's failure to reap the economic benefits from a groundbreaking nuclear deal with the international community in July 2015.

Reports suggest that HTC has cancelled its plan to release a full sized Windows RT tablet and instead the company is going to settle for a small 7 inch one.
According to Bloomberg, HTC decided to scrap the idea of a large surface device due to the weak demand for Windows RT tablets. Windows RT has not been a popular OS since its launch back in October and according to IDC, only about 200,000 of those have been sold in the first quarter of 2013. So even if these rumors turn out to be true, we won't be surprised. The sources further add that producing a 12 inch tablet was naturally more costly for the company and hence, the company would have been forced to charge a higher price tag for the product, which would weaken the already low demand.
But HTC still plans to release a 7 inch version of the Windows RT tablet. According to the company, the smaller version would appeal more to the customers especially after seeing that the demand for smaller tablets is much more than larger ones. Moreover, the lower price tag would improve the chances of the tablet being successful.
Well, this might be a smart move by the company, especially considering the fact that it cannot make any more mistakes. Back in April, HTC had announced the first facebook phone, but it turned out to be a big disappointment. With a bad financial quarter and several changes in the upper management, the company has to be careful in the products they invest.
The tablet market has been growing pretty rapidly and even threatens to overtake the huge personal computer share by 2015. But will HTC manage to profit from this huge growth?
Well, we can only answer this question after the tablet is released later this year.

Planetary Adventure Reads
Expand Messages
- Lahal and Kaor!
I've been reading a fair amount of planetary adventure boos lately
including a complete re-read of the Dary Prescot Saga. I finished 3 14 recently,
"Krozair of Kregen," so I've got quite a ways to go before reaching # 45, the
latest to be published in English.
Also been reading the Venus series by Burroughs, just having finished "Lost
on Venus." I did get confused at one point, wondering just what part of
Amtor, Carson and Duare were when they were in Morov and then Havatoo. Skor
has never heard of Vepaja but when told Vepaja once occupied the land of
Thora but was now resuced to an island domain, he admitted to hearing of it
when he was in distant Trabol. He then said that his domain of Morov was in
Strabol, the hot country. This could be just south or north of the equator
but Carson leans toward the northern hemisphere. Perhaps the land of Andoo
is in Strabol as well, but cooled off by mountains?
A few pages earlier, when first they met, Skor said his kingdom of Morov
was in the land of Noobol and he was well aware of the city of Kapdor and of
their Thorist leaning.
All of this info is found in chapter IX "The Gloomy Castle."
So is Noobol part of Strabol?
Here's a question for Dray Prescot fans. What do you think of the
possibility that Ken Bulmer was influenced by a combination of Vepaja and Havatoo
for his City of the Savants, the Swinging City of Aphrasoe? Vepaja and the
Savanti once occupied territories far flung from where they currently exist
and the Savants seem eerily similar to those in Havatoo and to a lesser
degree, the Vepajan city of Kooad,
Just started Lin Carter's "Jandar of Callisto" and frankly, I'm very
excited to return once more to Thanator, the jungle moon of Jupiter.
Lastly and not planetary adventure related, I recently received issue # 65
of Pulpdom, the first of two issues dealing specifically with Pellucidar.
Entitled "Pellucidar Revisited," Mike Taylor in issue # 65 deals with the
first three books in the series. Caz throws in a few interesting editorial
gems along the way. The cost is $8.00 for each issue (# 's 65 & 66). Send
payment to:
Camille Cazedessus
5055 Highway 151
Pagosa Springs, CO 81147
Be sure to mention the specific issues . Also, you can subscribe (in the
USA) for five issues for $30.00.
That's it for now. Back to Jandar!

Disadvantages of Using Cheap Paints – Did you know that choosing cheap paints over high quality paints will lead to more time, more labour, dull colours and a shorter wall life?
In Toronto and the GTA, there are so many paint brands, and lines to use. Whether you're planning to do your own house painting or hiring someone as your painting contractor, it is critical to educate yourself on the difference between low cheap paint and high quality paint. Doing so will save you time, money and spare you from the disappointment of an inferior paint job.
Remember that even brand names produce both low and high quality paints, so shopping by the logo or high quality paint brands is not a fool-proof way of avoiding cheap paints.
Going by price is also not a clear-cut strategy in singling out low quality paints. Paint companies employ teams of chemists to create their products. Even if paints had all their ingredients listed on the cans like food, it would still be a challenge to separate the good from the bad.
At Home Painters Toronto we understand the value of high quality paints. We use only trusted brands including Behr, Benjamin Moore, Dulux, Sherwin Williams, Para and more. Our 25 years of experience will help you pick the right paint for the right job.
So call 416.494.9095 or email us at email@example.com to schedule a no obligation, FREE in-home consultation and give your home the quality finish it deserves by top of the line high quality paints.

Historic, beautiful, scenic, artsy, quirky: Istanbul has many personalities. Each sight has a history (often a very long one), and as a rule of thumb, the older the building, the more likely it's had at least one makeover. You'll see many mosques where Muslims covered or destroyed Christian symbols to make way for their own faith. Even contemporary spaces like the Istanbul Modern Art Museum have used the old (in this case, an abandoned warehouse) to create something new (a showcase for the country's contemporary art scene). Sometimes, however, renovation wasn't enough. The sprawling home of the sultans, Topkapı Palace, was abandoned for the more ornate and European-style Dolmabahce. Go beyond art and architecture, too: you'll find culture and history everywhere. Rememberto step back and take in the big picture. Revel in the sensation of crossing between continents like it's no big deal, float into the sky on the Turk Balon for an aerial view, or make your way up Camlıca Hill for a 360-degree panorama. Whether you have your nose pressed against the glass or your neck craned back to take in the magnificence of the Blue Mosque, Istanbul has an incredible number of things to see.

Puppy-guarding its perch on the tip of the European peninsula, Topkapı served as the official residence for Ottoman sultans (and all their women—except the daughters who were locked up on tiny nothing-islands to preserve their flowers) for almost 400 years.

Istanbul Museum of Modern Art
the place to get a taste (or a filling meal for the soul) of the city's contemporary
scene. The upper floor houses a permanent collection called "Past and Future,"
a chronological record of Turkish contemporary art, from its Western-educated
beginnings to the colorful flowering of its own national and individual aesthetic.
Don't miss Alaettin Aksoy's Gardens of My Childhood (2002, oil on canvas),
a gorgeous, "puckish" painting trembling with glowing fragments, leaves, and
spots of light (as if there were a million fairies mooning you from all over the
surface). Between the first and lower levels is the "Stairway to Hell" staircase,
and nearby is the "False Ceiling" installation next to the library (a canopy of
books suspended from wires above, forming an artificial ceiling that envelopes
you with that wonderful "book smell" when you walk through it). The lower
level hosts temporary exhibits by local and international artists, as well as
photography and architecture projects, all curated with minimalist cool. Mini
dissertations, piece descriptions, and artist biographies accompany each work,
making this huge space a joy to both look at and learn from.
* From Metro: Tophane, walk toward Kabataş. After passing the Nusretiye Mosque, turn right and follow the red, square signs. 15 TL; groups (10+) 12 TL; students and over 65 8 TL; under 12, museum

St. Paul's Cathedral
The upper levels of the cathedral are open to the hearty and hale. This means you'll be climbing enough stairs to practically ascend to heaven yourself. Two hundred and fifty-one steps up is the acoustically marvelous Whispering Gallery, where you can hear someone whisper to you from 32m opposite. For 119 steps more you can visit the outdoor Stone Gallery, then another climb will take you to the pinnacle Golden Gallery, which provides exquisite views of the city (although smokers and otherwise respiratorily-challenged visitors can zoom through the same views on the free video tour).
