First weeks the trickiest to figure
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - The initial portion of the marathon Woodbine meeting is usually the toughest for handicappers, who must size up the chances of numerous runners coming off layoffs as they lock horns with shippers from throughout North America.
Not surprisingly, runners coming off a race at Gulfstream were very effective during the first six days of racing, winning nine of 23 starts. Shippers from Laurel took three of five starts.
Horses from Tampa, Aqueduct, and Mountaineer had a modicum of success. Fair Grounds invaders won just 1 of 16 starts, and they were also unsuccessful during the first month of the 2002 meeting.
Gulfstream shippers were often strongly bet, but there were some notable exceptions who got the job done. Majestic Wisdom finished well back in both of his Gulfstream outings, but utilized his fitness edge to defeat favored Wando and win the March 30 Achievement Handicap at 21-1. Pia Gold defeated $12,500 maidens at 23-1 on March 23 after getting dusted for $25,000 at Gulfstream.
Those willing to overlook poor performances from winter-raced horses can be rewarded handsomely when those runners compete in weaker company over more familiar terrain. With two cards canceled and some training time lost here last week, the trend could continue in the short term.
Track bias report
March 22: The rail seemed like the place to be on opening day, when eight of the 10 winners on the card ran along the inside most of the way. Horses who ran well against the bias included the winner of the second race, Executive Legacy, as well as Oye Yoye Yoye, Misty Expectation, Shipman, Dawn's Creek, Olympian, Salt Water Cowboy, Dinner at Jackies, and Lucky Dazzler.
March 23: Front-runners and pace-pressers dominated the card, although the bias should be downplayed a little because all 10 races were run at five furlongs. Horses who closed some ground included Fashion Proof, Cobra Star, Novantuno, Square Bob, Reservations Only, Chris's Bad Boy, She Is a Wild One, Fleet of Foot, Nicely Nasty, George. D., and Mike Shannon.
Two horses who benefited from an opening-weekend bias came back to win on the drop: Slot Happy and Sirona Gold. In fact, runners making their second start of the meeting have compiled a respectable record of 7-7-2 from 34 attempts.
April 5: Speed horses did most of the damage, but the bias did not turn out to be quite as strong as it seemed it was going to be after the first race, in which front-running Jack and Emma graduated by 10 lengths for $12,500, setting a track record for five furlongs of 55.95 seconds.
Front-runners and stalkers dominated the rest of the card, except for the last race, in which favorites Doug's Lad and Abba Do both rallied to finish one-two. Others who hit the board trying to buck the bias included Holster, Appas Tappas, Sweet Women, Kids Ridge, and Hour of Justice.
A strong west wind contributed to rapid fractions and many quick final times in the sprints. Even the lone 1 1/16-mile race on the card, a $20,000 claimer, was run in a fast 1:43.80.
* There will be a two free handicapping seminars at Woodbine this weekend featuring Jim Mazur and Jim Bannon. The United States Triple Crown will be the topic of discussion on Saturday, and handicapping at Woodbine will be the focus of Sunday's tutorial. The seminars will take place at the east end of the second floor, and will begin at 11 a.m.

Webster put on standby for Scotland
By Patrick Goss
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 20-year-old's impressive recent form has been rewarded with the news that he is a reserve for the Scotland squad, after being surprisingly omitted from Rainer Bonhoff's Under-21 party that beat Ireland.
Hearts boss Craig Levein (pictured) admitted that he felt it was about time his starlet was recognised by his nation.
"I'm a little surprised he hasn't been considered in the past," said Levein.
"Andy has done well and he's taken his recent chance in the team very well.
"Maybe he has realised he cannot come in and play one game well and then poorly in the next, then well again.
"He has to be consistent in the way he plays and he has managed that in the last few games."

The African lion is a member of the panthera order of big cats, of which there are four main types. Found throughout central Africa, the lion is the only cat that lives and hunts in groups. They are one of the largest members of the big cat family weighing in at between 265 to 420 pounds.
Asian Lion
The Asian Llon is the most closely related to the African lion and is recognized as a sub-species. Asian lions are slightly larger, weighing in at around 300 to 500 pounds. They are only found in one small area in the Girs forest of northern India and only around 200 to 260 are thought to exist in the wild. Like the African lion, the Asian lives and hunts in packs with the females doing the hunting while a single male protects the pride from other males. With around 200 lions living in the world's zoos, the total population of this sub-species is likely less than 500 individuals.
Tigers are the largest members of the big cat family, reaching weights of 240 to 500 pounds, and are closely related to lions to the extent that they can even interbreed. The offspring of this pairing are known as ligers or tigons. It is a mainly captive breed phenomenon as the two species do not share any common range in the wild. Tigers have five known sub-species spread around Asia and Russia, all of which are endangered. They are solitary animals, only coming together to breed.
The leopard is found throughout much of central and southern Africa as well as India and China. It is a member of the panthera family, but is not as closely related to the lion as is the tiger. They are much smaller than lions, weighing in at around 66 to 176 pounds and will sometimes have to defend kills from their larger cousins. Unlike lions and tigers, leopards are adept climbers and can carry large kills up into a tree to keep it from being stolen. The black panther is actually a leopard whose spots are so dark and dense that they are nearly impossible to distinguish.
The smallest member of the panthera family is the jaguar, weighing between 100 to 250 pounds. They are the only member of this family to be found native to the Americas and at one time were wide-spread in both North and South America. Today the jaguar is found mainly in remote areas of Central and South America, living a solitary lifestyle, much like leopards do. Like leopards they are proficient climbers and good swimmers, catching turtles, caimans and fish from rivers.

Park Rapids man charged with possessing meth
A Park Rapids man has been charged in Becker County District Court with one felony count of fifth degree drug possession.
Michael Nicholas Thelen Jr., 39, of 37075 County Road 127, Park Rapids, was charged as the result of a Nov. 16 incident in which a search warrant was executed at his home in rural Becker County.
Thelen was taken into custody, and during a pat-down search, a plastic baggie and a paper bindle were found on him, both containing a white powder that later tested positive for methamphetamine. Officers also found three syringes, a prescription bottle and a clear plastic straw containing a white powder residue.
Thelen is currently in custody at the Becker County Jail awaiting his next court appearance, at a Dec. 10 omnibus hearing. His bail has been set at $600 cash or $2,000 bond, with conditions, or $8,000 without conditions.

I always get really excited when cooler temperatures hit because that means I can pull out my Fall hats! I love when I can wear a sweater, jeans, boots, scarf and throw on a cute hat to finish off the outfit. In my opinion, it gives the outfit just the right touch. The best thing about hats is that they can be worn when you are dressed up or dressed down. With all the Fall colors that are in style, be sure to invest in a basic colored hat that can be paired with any of your Fall outfits and you'll be happy in the long haul. It's a win-win situation. Here are my top 5 favorite hats that are sure not to go out of style.
I've been wanting a gray panama hat for quite sometime now. I think this is the perfect color that will go great with any outfit.
I really love this charcoal colored felt hat. I think the color is great if you aren't wanting a plain black hat.
Everyone needs a basic brown hat in their closet. This most definitely is the perfect brown hat. I love how the buckle around the base of the hat totally makes this hat worth swooning over.
I am loving the color and the contrast of this hat! It is different, yet darling all at the same time!
This hat is a simple statement piece that you need to have in your closet.

6m - I had the setting wrong
One reason for my lack of 6m WSPR spots (other than lack of activity) was that I had the wrong USB dial frequency set (now corrected). I had set 400Hz too low. Hopefully I am now on the correct frequency and might see something!

The Alpha-H Liquid Gold Skin Renewal Wash is a luxurious exfoliating cleanser with a liquid to cream formulation, designed to help unveil soft, bright, poreless looking skin.
Working to boost the skins cell renewal process, Alpha-H Liquid Gold Skin Renewal Wash gently resurfaces and decongests the skin to allow active ingredients from subsequent products to penetrate below the surface layer. The inclusion of Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Shea Butter means the skin is smoothed and exfoliated while being soothed and hydrated, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and pigmentation.
With improved skin texture and re-stimulation of collagen production, this is a cleanser that does it all, helping you to maintain a brighter, healthier, more youthful appearance.
Highly Recommend! Review by Ellen
I love this cleanser as it has the AHAs which act as a gentle exfoliant on my skin. I find you get a very thorough cleanse and you skin feels smooth and refreshed afterwards. Highly recommend it!
This is an update of Review by Kathryne Morgan-Charles
This is an update of my previous review. I like to oscillate between this, and ASAP's Daily Facial Cleanser, to reap the benefits of both AHA's. This rich creamy cleanser is beautifully luxurious, and emulsifies into a soft milk when mixed with water. Lush Coconut oil and nourishing shea butter infuse the skin with precious moisture, whilst combined Glycolic and Lactic acid's exfoliate and renew the skin, leaving it luminous, soft and rejuvenated. I'm really partial to this deluxe cleansing milk, and over time, I've noticed gradual improvements in the appearance and condition of my skin. A smoother texture, and softening of mild Melasma on my cheeks, as well as a reduction in facial redness and diminished breakouts. I'm unable to comment on the anti-ageing aspect, as I'm still quite young, and this is not yet applicable to me.

When you hear the name Guillermo del Toro, you immediately think about monsters mirroring tales we've been told as children. The landscape he lays out remains, in large part, the stuff of dark fairy tales. This may be the element that most excites fans when they hear about The Strain comic book series from Dark Horse Comics, and we're pleased to present an exclusive first look at the cover for Issue #3.
Take a man with an imagination like that and set him loose in present day New York City for a vampire story like no other. Got your attention?! Here's the skinny…
The Strain (click here to pre-order) will be a 24-issue series told over two years as 8 issues each of The Strain, The Fall, and The Eternal, based on the novels from Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. The comics are adapted by David Lapham (Stray Bullets) and artist Mike Huddleston (Butcher Baker the Righteous Maker).
The Strain Series Synopsis: When a Boeing 777 lands at JFK International Airport and goes dark on the runway, the Center for Disease Control, fearing a terrorist attack, calls in Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team of expert biological-threat first responders. Only an elderly pawnbroker from Spanish Harlem suspects a darker purpose behind the event – an ancient threat intent on covering mankind in darkness.
Issue #3 Synopsis – As an eclipse covers New York City in midday darkness, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and his team from the Center for Disease Control struggle to find an explanation for what happened to Flight 753. But when the symptoms don't add up to chemical warfare, and bizarre circumstances unexplained by modern medicine arise, Ephraim begins to entertain the ramblings of a Holocaust survivor who knows too much about this unknown threat…
…an unknown threat that resembles a naked, fat vampire guy with a tongue straight out of a Resident Evil game!!
Issue #3 goes on sale February 8th, 2012.
This epic of vampire infection begins December 14th when The Strain Issue #1 hits a comic shop near you. Check out the cover art for it and Issue #2 (coming January 11, 2012) below.

Conlan Planning To Rejoin Bills
Published: January 6, 1989
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., Jan. 5— Shane Conlan, a Pro Bowl linebacker sidelined for the last six weeks with a foot injury, practiced with the Buffalo Bills today and said he would start in the American Football Conference title game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Conlan suffered a severely sprained right arch on Nov. 20 and missed most of the team's last four regular-season games.
Coach Marv Levy was not quite as certain as Conlan was about his status, saying Conlan would probably play.
''He looked good and we're fully encouarged he'll be ready to play,'' Levy said. ''We'll have to see how he comes in tomorrow. But we're very encouraged by what we saw.''

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Tuesday, Apr 06,2004 8:06 AM
Adhering to the tradition of introducing innovative services to the media fraternity on a periodic basis and keeping pace with the volatile media trends, Time Monitoring has come up with a media implementation and operations software, called, Density.
As per the spokesperson of Time Monitoring Services, "Through Density, we have tried and achieved a milestone by providing a complete solution for media plan implementation and media operations for television. The software begins with creating a plan with a self-strategy and provides inputs to analyse the media plan or the same brand's past campaigns. The deal management module keeps track of all the deal criteria negotiated with the channels."
As he explains, a powerful tool of auto balancing and auto scheduling executes the balance act of demands (defined in the plan with the GRPs to be achieved, reach factor of campaign cycles, selection of channel cluster with specific TG audience, etc) and supply (defined in deal management with negotiated rates, paid FCTs and Bonus FCTs comprising the whole deal.
The final output of this module is an automated 'estimate with spot-wise schedule'. On the operation part, the ROs are generated automatically from the schedule in the customised formats, while, after telecast the schedule spots are automatically reconciled with the monitoring data through the system. The commercial part of generating the outward invoices and processing inward bills are finishing touches of the software. "The entire system provides an automated media plan implementation and media operation through the sequential execution of each implementation stage, without much manual intervention," says the spokesperson.
Encased with three integrated basic modules for planning, operations and post operations, the system offers optimised media plan implementation and media operations solutions. As per claims, the process of data integrity is featured so powerfully that the output of each module automatically flows as the input of the subsequent module without an iota of human intervention. "Periodical updating of mediologist (ad spend data), a part of the system subscription, provides an excellent tool for in-depth analysis of competitor's strategy," he claims.
The software has a periodical updating of Fixed Point Charts (FPC) for most of the channels integrated to the system. Periodical updating of standard rate cards are available with every effective date of channels, buying deals on standard rate cards or negotiated rates based on multiple rate types like programme-wise rate, time band rate, channel rate, package rate, channel family rate, producer rate across all channels.
Some of the advantages, as per the spokesperson, are RO data reconciliation with automatic monitoring of data, completely automated procedures without manual intervention, flexibility to intervene manually wherever required and highly secured and user level right protected features which may be defined by the administrator to restrict unauthorised users from trespassing into the sensitive and confidential data.

Niki's Weekend Word: Star Swim, and JJCNV at Trunk Space
By Niki D'Andrea
This weekend, I checked out a new weekly event and a groovy local music show, both in downtown Phoenix.
Friday, August 8: Since pool parties have been all the rage this summer, I decided to hit up "Star Swim", a new Friday night weekly put on by local promoter Psyko Steve. Every Friday, he'll be hosting hot Phoenix bands on the rooftop pool patio of the Hotel San Carlos. This past Friday, DJs Jared Alan and The Skinny rocked the decks with dance beats, while local bands The Wizards of Time, Princess Ladyfriend, and Black Carl kicked out the jams. People were swimming, drinking, dancing, and mingling, and it was an awesome way to spend a Friday night. You can read more about Star Swim in my upcoming "Niki at Nite" column (August 21 issue), but in the meantime, check out Star Swim for yourself. Entertainment for the event on Friday, August 15 includes What Laura Says Thinks and Feels, Miniature Tigers, Knesset, and Montresours.
Valley indie rockers The Wizards of Time performed at Star Swim on Friday Night.
Saturday, August 9: I headed downtown again, this time to the Trunk Space to check out a local music show. The main reason I went was to talk to local avant art-punk rockers Janis Joplin Crap N Vomit (JJCNV), who were headlining a show that also included Emperors of Japan and a new jazz jam band called Now Serving Breakfast, which includes local drummer and DJ Shane Kennedy (check out columnist Steve Jansen's story on Kennedy here ). I'll be doing a column about JJCNV in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, here's some eye candy in the form of a video showing the band performing "Hamsterdam" at the Trunk Space a couple years ago:

I never thought I was going to die—despite coughing up blood so much I couldn't keep my oxygen supply on. Despite the answer when I asked why my feet looked bruised ("You're peripherally shut down"). Despite seeing a consultant rolling up the bag to squeeze fluids into me. Despite being rushed through the corridors to the intensive treatment unit.
Less than two weeks before my final exams I was admitted to hospital with a temperature of 39.7°C. I was developing meningococcal pneumonia and septicaemia, and within a few hours I had haemoptysis and was hypoxic and hypotensive. In intensive treatment I received non-invasive ventilation and intravenous antibiotics.
Despite an apparently remarkable recovery, I was frustrated from the start by my inability to get better faster. It was all I could do to get out of bed to go to the bathroom during my first week in hospital, I was so exhausted, breathless, and in pain. The nurses fussed about muscle wasting and deep venous thromboses, which made me feel it was my fault …

Brigantin is Carey's latest patch-up projectMichael Sharkie
Published: December 6 2012 - 3:00AM
PAT Carey's Mornington stable is not unlike a rehabilitation centre at the moment, with gifted young stayer Ethiopia and recent stable acquisition Brigantin both slowly on the mend from spring carnival injuries.
Carey is developing a reputation as Victoria's premier mentor of staying talent and his work was clearly not lost on Team Valor, owners of French stayer and one-time Melbourne Cup contender Brigantin, who selected Carey as the horse's new trainer following the spring carnival.
Brigantin arrived at Carey's stable with a pastern injury, so the trainer will need to patch up the six-year-old before he can turn him loose on the racetrack.
''He won't run in the autumn, but he's being treated and is on the mend and he's got a good prognosis,'' Carey said.
''Everyone tells me that he is a high- class stayer but, to be honest, I haven't paid the same attention to him that others have. I'm sure that when we get him back and sit down and go through his form and pull him apart, I'll see what everyone else has.''
With one of the world's largest ownership groups dipping its toe into Australian racing through his stable, Carey is aware of the potential flow-on effects of Brigantin making a successful return.
"He's owned by one of the most prominent groups in world racing and they will be keen to see him back at his best, and our job is to get him back sound and to a high level of racing again,'' Carey said.
He reported that Ethiopia was still spelling after suffering an injury to his hindquarters in the Melbourne Cup. He said he would not make any autumn carnival plans for the four-year-old for at least another month.
Carey was in the winner's stall at Sandown on Wednesday when well-bred filly Perfectly Stunning returned from a spell with a brilliant victory in the Sportingbet Handicap (1300 metres).
Carey hopes the mare will graduate to black type races at a mile and beyond.
"I'd like to think that she will be up to black type,'' he said. ''She's always shown good ability but has taken a little time to really put it together.''
■Favourite Luckygray has drawn ideally in barrier four for Saturday's group 1 Kingston Town Classic at Ascot, as he attempts to make up for a last start defeat in the Railway Stakes.
Railway Stakes winner Mr Moet has also drawn well in barrier one.

Let me start off by saying that this post isn't about Japan, really, so if you're not interested in iTunes or iPods, or my hobbies (:p), you can stop reading after this first paragraph. I am planning on writing up a post on my trip to Nara last weekend, but I haven't quite gotten to it yet. Anyway, moving on.
As you may or may not know, I have had an iPod for a while now… and frankly, while I do feel overall satisfied with the level of quality that the iPod and iTunes provide, I've long had quite a few issues with how certain things are handled. I won't get into most of them today, becuase they aren't really relevant. Unlike most of my problems, which are differences between the iPod and iTunes itself (such as differences in sorting), this is an issue that I have with iTunes alone: weighted random in the iTunes DJ (Party Shuffle) feature.
So yeah, I know, it's been a while…

But I haven't forgotten about my blog. To keep a long, boring, rather repetitive story short, I've basically been extremely busy with class. In between all of that, I've been studying (and playing) Go. I haven't really done anything that interesting since my mom back in March. Today I participated in a Go ranking tournament at the Japanese Go Association in Nagoya, but I lost both of the first two rounds so I didn't pass. Oh well. Next month I'll pass.
Moving on, there are now under 100 days until I return to the States. Which of course means I'm planning for next school year, since registration starts in like 2 weeks. It is going to be an extremely hectic year. I had originally planned on staying an extra quarter into the 2010-2011 school year to finish up some random requirements, but honestly, I've gotten to the point where I just want to be done — unless all else fails, anyway.
So I figured out how I can graduate in 1 year, but it's going to be a lot of work. Fall quarter, 21 credits. Winter quarter, 19 credits. Spring quarter, 19 credits. And then I'll graduate, assuming I pass them all. (Which I probably will with flying colors, but that may just be my ego talking ).
Anyway, my schedule for fall quarter is going to look something like the picture below (at least, I hope so, because any other combination of those classes has overlaps in class times, and I absolutely need THOSE classes).

Jermain Defoe believes that Tottenham could suffer due to their midweek game in the Champions League.
Spurs began their European campaign with a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Monaco on Wednesday and have had just three days rest before Sunday's fixture against Sunderland.
The Black Cats travel to White Hart Lane in desperate need of points after one draw and three defeats from their opening four league games.
Former Spurs striker Defoe believes that his current team have a chance of causing an upset due to the European commitments of Mauricio Pochettino's side, as quoted by Sunderland's official website.
"It's going to be difficult but I watched Spurs on Wednesday and they've not reached the levels they were at last year," he said. "But its still early days and it's the same with us so hopefully we can go there and be disciplined.
"As I said they played on Wednesday so maybe fatigue will kick in at the end of the game so we will just see what happens."
Defoe represents Sunderland's best threat in front of goal and they will hope to capitalise on his experience.
The 55-capped England striker has already notched up two goals in the club's opening four matches and scored an impressive 18 goals in all competitions last season as the club avoided relegation.
He also enjoyed two spells at Spurs during the earlier stages of his career, scoring a combined total of 138 goals in 357 club appearances.
Pochettino's side recorded a convincing 4-0 win over Stoke in their last league outing and will hope to redeem themselves for the Monaco defeat.
Spurs have begun their league campaign in good form and are one of only three clubs who are still unbeaten, with Manchester City and Everton topping the table after impressive starts.
In other Tottenham team news, the club's midfielder fears he will be frozen out by Pochettino.

Ultimate Truman
The Hugging Bulldog
You can put a sub headline here.
Like many members of the Newtown community, the tragic events that occurred at Sandyhook Elementary School on Friday, Dec. 14 left resident Michael Cragin feeling helpless and devastated. Wanting to do something, Cragin came up with an idea involving his best friend Truman, the English Bulldog. According to NBC News, Cragin and Truman parked their SUV at the local Dunkin' Donuts shop and posted a sign with the message: "My bulldog gives hugs."Soon enough, families pulled into the parking lot and met Truman's dog hugs with open arms. "He wants to give them that hug and that seems to be what counts," said Cragin. "I hope I can make their day to some extent, that's all."
Cragin is a retired special education teacher and former volunteer firefighter that has lived in Newtown for 30 years. When he found out what had happened, he said, "I just was numb. The fact that so many children were impacted by this is beyond words for me ... I'm totally shaken by it. I can't watch the TV or anything so this is how I opted to take care of it."
Cragin and Truman have now given out more than 100 hugs to passersby. "It's the type of thing that people will for that brief second leave the nightmare behind, just to hug him, and that's what I was hoping on, because I don't know what else to do," he said.

A Better Way To A Better Home
This one might seem like a doozy, but it's actually pretty simple! The answer does depend, though, on how you choose to build your BrightBuilt Home...
If you opt to go modular, you have three primary routes you may choose: base BrightBuilt Home, modified BrightBuilt Home, or custom BrightBuilt Home! That is to say, if you are happy with one of the standard 9 designs as is, we can expedite the pricing process, help you identify a builder, and get the ball rolling lickety-split. If you would like to make some modifications to our existing designs, we will happily work with you to achieve the finishes, spaces, and interior arrangements that best address your needs. And, of course, if you find that the existing BBH designs aren't exactly, perfectly, just right for what you'd like in a new home, then we will help you get there by working with you to design a new, custom modular home.
But modular isn't the only way! While we advocate for the advantages of modular, we fully acknowledge that it doesn't work for everyone or every site. If you want to build one of the BrightBuilt Home designs as a site-built home, we can help! A number of site-built BBH designs have in fact already been completed, and they are loved just as much as their modular brothers and sisters.
And last (but not least), if you have fallen in love with a BrightBuilt Home design and you're a builder yourself, or hope to build sometime in the future, we are happy to provide drawing sets that will get you the plans and specifications you will need to get started.
Indeed! As you may have just read in the preceding question, it is absolutely possible to build a BrightBuilt Home design using site-build construction. If you are a builder yourself, or your spouse, or best buddy, or child, or parent, or anyone you know and trust is a builder (and can fit it in to your/his/her schedule), we want you to be able to realize your home as you see fit.
Absolutely. From cedar shingles, to clapboard, to board and batten, to Hardie-plank, to vinyl, to titanium, you may specify the siding style and material that best suits your aesthetic and budget. While vinyl is the only siding that can be applied in the factory (due to flexibility and weight during transportation), you may specify any type of siding you like. What you choose can be detailed and installed on your site, once the home has been delivered and/or the site-construction process is ready.
We will adjust the finish schedule per your specifications, but there are some finishes that must be done on site. Granite countertops, non-vinyl siding, some hardwood flooring, some cabinetry, and other finishes may all be best installed on site. As you determine which finishes you would like for your home, we will work with the builder to establish how and when the work will be done.
Please feel free to research, collect, and/or sketch away! Any concepts that you're willing to commit to paper can be helpful. Also, any research you can do on your own such as collecting clippings and links certainly will help us get into your head and can streamline the modular modification or custom design process. And selecting hardware, fixtures and finishes ahead of time is a great way to get involved, especially with the giant world of internet shopping at your fingertips!
If you've sketched out rough floor plans per an existing model or for an entirely new design, that's a help to guide us in what you're thinking. If you've picked out your favorite finishes already, that's a great help as well. We're happy to look at whatever you want to bring to the table.
We don't necessarily expect you to have a detailed budget going into your project, but it sure helps to have an idea of what you're hoping to spend. Once we know that, we can help figure out if your wants and desires fit the size of your pocketbook. The baseline prices for each home can give you a sense of what's doable for you. We can build the standard model according to the base specifications, or we can make adjustments tailored to your lifestyle, and keep them within the parameters of your bottom line. The hopeful truth is that we're the ones who can weave together the program and design in clever ways that will allow your budget to be met. We've done it in the past, and we're confident we'll be able to do it for you.
Building materials do have a certain cost, and buildings can get expensive quickly. Every project faces tough choices at some point in the process, and the key is to know what these choices will be before wading in too deeply. Our dedication to Attainable means that we're committed to seeing your project built, so that it doesn't end up beautiful only on paper.
If you would like to take on aspects of the finishes, interior build-out, or exterior elements, our hats are off to you! As avid believers in the independent spirit, we fully support anyone who wishes to tackle paint projects, carpentry, or other aspects of the project closeout. While there may be arrangements necessary with our modular builders for those hearty souls who wish to take on substantial portions of the construction, it is absolutely possible for us to finish the modules to varying degrees, per your needs, wants, and creative freedoms (and your local lending agent's requirements).

Think About The Following Before Choosing Your Home Fire Insurance Policy
Fire is something that can occur at any time. Fire can be cause due to incorrect wiring of the house, arson and natural factors. Eight out of ten people, who die from fire, die because of the fire at houses. It is found that after every seventy seven seconds, a residential fire is taking place and the main reason is unattended cooking. In Singapore house fires are very common. And that is why you need to insure against the fire.
Any home insurance coverage will provide coverage against the fire. But there are some important things that you have to keep in mind before choosing your home fire insurance Singapore https://www.hlas.com.sg/PersonalInsurance/HomeContentsInsurance.aspx.
If fire takes place at your house, your insurance policy should pay you for the repairs or rebuild the house. It is not only the house but the insurance policy should pay you for your belongings that were lost because of the fire. Some insurance companies will pay you cash while others pay the replacement cost. The cash value and the replacement cost will never be the same. Say that your computer was destroyed because of fire. You had to spend $2000 to buy it before three years. If the insurance policy pays you cash, they will pay you $2000 even if the price of that computer is low at present. If the company pays for the replacement cost, then what ever the amount needed to replace the computer will be paid.
Many Singaporeans prefer the replacement cost policy but if you are having expensive items like jewelry, artworks and other antique items, it is better to go for the cash policy so that you can guaranty you will get back the money you spent for them.
You can also maintain a file that includes details of all your belongings and their values. You can take photos of them or even video them. You must always have two copies, one with you and the other one in a safe place. If you have only one copy and if it gets destroyed due to fire, there is no way of assigning the correct values to the belongings that were lost and your insurance company may not pay you the correct amount if there is no proof. The other important thing to consider when choosing your fire insurance policy is the deductible and the monthly insurance premium. Deductible is like the base payment that you will have to pay. It is going to be a very large sum of money. If the deductible is very large then the monthly premium is most likely to be lower. You have to choose a policy according to what you want.

Henry pays tribute to school victims
He will wear his emotions not on his sleeve, but on his hat.
Emblazoned in a position usually reserved for sponsorship reasons, the letters will be with J.J. Henry as he plays the season opener, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. "A couple people have asked, and a lot of people have already figured it out," Henry said.
Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The sheer horror still makes you shudder.
"Whether you come from the area or not, just the devastation and the unthinkable that happened …," Henry said.
But here's the thing. Henry is from the area. He grew up in Fairfield, Conn., about 20 miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. When the massacre occurred Dec. 14, he was like nearly every other person who heard the news. He was frozen with fear. Twenty young children and six teachers and administrators gunned down.
"It's almost too hard to talk about," he said.
But it's something that needs to addressed. More to the point, the families need to be honored, and so Henry thought he would do something. "Sitting at home (in the Fort Worth, Texas, area), I thought if I could be a small part in honoring those families, I wanted to do that. I went to that school system. I've always remembered where I came from."
Henry said he has been in contact with Nathan Grube, tournament director of the Travelers Championship, one of the longest-running PGA Tour stops. When he won what passes as his hometown tournament in 2006, Henry rightfully felt as if he had captured a major championship, and it's with great pride that he accepts the responsibility of flying the flag for Connecticut on the PGA Tour.
A tournament with massive neighborhood and local ties, the Travelers has always rallied around Connecticut causes. Henry knows that will happen again, and he vows to work with Grube and Tour officials to pay tribute to the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims.
"I'm not sure where all this is heading," he said. "But we'll do something."
For years, the PGA Tour winner has overseen his own foundation, The Henry House. It works with the Ben Hogan Foundation in the Fort Worth area and supports First Tee programs in his native area and in his adopted home. The Henry House will be involved in efforts to pay tribute to Newtown families, he said.
"All my family still lives (in that Connecticut area)," Henry said. "My aunt (Sharon Harder) lived around the corner (from Sandy Hook Elementary School) for years." And when Sandy Hook students returned to school Jan. 3, they did so at Chalk Hill School, where as a kid Henry played junior high school basketball.
So, yes, this is personal. It hits close to home.
Like he said before, "It's almost too hard to talk about."
But it's impossible to forget.

Syerleena Abdul Rashid
The Malaysian Insider
5 June 2015
Sometime in 1991, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed envisioned "Malaysians of all colours and creeds are free to practice and profess their customs, cultures and religious beliefs and yet feeling that they belong to one nation". This dream was the essence of Vision 2020, or Wawasan 2020, as it is known in the national language.
Vision 2020 called for a united Malaysian society; one that indicated a progressive society where all of its citizens were more than able to embody compassion, civility and ethnic labels were a thing of the past. Malaysia in the year 2020 boasted an economy that was sound and healthy; there was fair and equitable distribution of wealth and development was spread out evenly throughout the Federation.
Now with only five years left before this vision becomes a reality, many of us can see how far off we really are. With only five years left, the vision of a colourless society seems far beyond our reach. Five years of catching up to a vision that has become some sort of a utopian concept that has lead this nation into a bitter cycle of suspicion and passive aggressive hostility.
The saddest part of humankind is that most of us are unable to shake off the "us and them" mentality and the harm we inflict upon other fellow Malaysians – be it physically and verbally, this is due to our own insecurities, humiliation and pain. Such feelings stem from our inability to understand human diversity – we want them to be like "us" and if they aren't, there is no way we can accept them into our fold.
Present day society has a huge battle – fending off conservative ideas that uphold bigotry and extreme dislike to diversity. These disgruntled factions continuously challenge secularism, pluralism and liberalism. They attempt to destroy values that helped past civilisations peak in sophistication and maturity, while sowing the seeds of discontent they bring us down to their level of illogical absurdity.
When humans begin to justify certain actions and events on racial grounds, the mythology of racial supremacism creates a perilous notion of misplaced entitlement. Those who believe in such vile ideologies clearly represent the failure of Vision 2020. These bigots are the antithesis of progressivity – the sliver of conflict in our society.
Many of us may be shocked to realise that such views are wholeheartedly endorsed by far-right wing ideologies namely fascism and Nazism. Think Mussolini and Hiter, both of whom preached and supported racial discrimination, religious bigotry and restricted economic mobility upon various groups. The level of corruption that exists in our Federation has proven yet another glaring failure of a vision that should have eliminated such practices. Meritocracy has given away to nepotism and cronyism; severely compromising quality, knowledge and excellence.
The creation of the quote system where a certain race was given preference, has systematically killed off healthy competition and the strength of mind. Evidently, as years passed, these groups too were being sidelined by those who were able to pull strings. In other words, those who were well connected were guaranteed a shot at life while the rest of us had to figure out what to do, how to do it or why couldn't we do it?
How can we envision a developed nation when our idea of development isn't distributed evenly throughout the Federation? How can we improve the lives of every Malaysian despite our shortcomings and limited resources? We need to stop assuming that the idea of culture is fixed because it isn't. Ethnicity, race and even culture should be given a broader definition such as how one sees life and how a person makes sense of it all. The concept of pre-determined conditions created by manmade belief systems must change for it is flawed and damaging.
But call me an optimist.
I believe that in the end, someday, our great nation will see the racial harmony many of us yearn for. I truly believe that our society is capable of peace, tolerance, understanding and respect. I absolutely believe that change can happen as soon as we are able to tear down the walls of religiosity that separate us culturally.
Let's put it this way: God doesn't practice apartheid and neither should we. – June 5, 2015.

Did Obama Start Blogging at the Daily Kos?
Filed Under Politics | 14 Comments
Here's the title of a completely serious post at the Daily Kos:
My first thought was that our nation's super-modest leader must have started blogging there, but then it occurred to me that if that had been written by Obama, he would have been a little more humble and only claimed to be the fourth best president ever.
Here's what is probably the most hilarious part of the Kos post, which was written by a user named Troubadour who hasn't lost the tingle of Hope:
I have little trouble stating the following conclusions – Barack Obama is…
1. The most liberal President ever.
2. The most accountable President ever.
3. President of the most transparent administration ever.
4. The most committed to civil rights and equality ever.
5. The most committed to science and technology ever.
6. Either the most, or tied with the most, competent and intelligent President ever.
7. The hardest-working President ever.
8. The most globally-respected, loved, and feared (by our enemies) President ever.
9. Either the most, or tied with the most, politically courageous President ever.
10. Most, or tied with the most, honorable and honest President ever.
If I had the next week or so completely free, I'd dissect that list a little bit. That isn't necessary anyway since you probably did it yourself as you read it and possibly shorted out your computer after doing a laughter-induced "spit-take" all over it.

Troubadour`s problem is obvious; he has the "Brown Head" !
I`ll give him "most liberal" AND "most politically courageous". Even Clintonionni was afraid to pull half the stunts Oblunder has !

That first one was the closest to the mark, though I've never felt "liberal" was an accurate description for Obama. That's kind of like calling Michael Moore "chubby"… it doesn't quite convey the breadth of it all.

Like A Bat Out Of Hell, that's how I would describe our exit from Iraq. Unfortunately we left Iraq, without a Status Of Forces Agreement.
No one but Rick Perry got the answer right on the Iraq foreign policy failure at the ABC republican debate last Saturday night. Not Mitt who missed an opportunity, and certainly not Newt who repeated the liberal media meme.
It's unfortunate that we will end up back in Iraq, but President Obama's leading from behind style has consequences to the United States national security.
The American Economy is tied directly to our Foreign Policy. Both of are tied to our National Security."It's the free flow of oil stupid"

Press shot of mystery dual SIM Nokia device could be the Nokia Asha 504
0. phoneArena posted on 02 Feb 2014, 11:49
A leaked press shot, tweeted out by evleaks, reveals that a new dual SIM Nokia handset is on the way. "What is this thing?," tweets evleaks, and it does appear to be a Nokia Asha model, perhaps the 504. The top bezel is a little different than previous Asha 5xx handsets, and the screen, estimated to be 3.2 inches to 3.5 inches, reveals that Bing is the default search engine on the device...

I'm not sure what we're going to see in 2014 either... Popcorn!
10. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1615; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
Same, lumias and lumias. Nothing dramatic. Plus NOKIA is staying as NOKIA, its a huge brand which is recognised as a good mobile phone manufacturer. MS isnt famous for that so I am sure they will keep the name and pop out the lumias. Like Lenovo is planing to keep motorola branding etc.

I'm guessing 920 successor. 1080p display, Snapdragon 800 and so on. Air gestures are rumoured, but GS4 had them, and they worked, but as we see, nobody really needed them.

Wait few years. Then u will see people need Nokia. It takes time.

I'd probably get a Lumia 3 years from now, when they have more apps to offer.

Flipboard, Youtube, Photoshop, Pixlromatic, Press, Pocket, Swiftkey, PowerAMP, Tasker, Sleep As Android and REAL RACING 3. =]
38. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Flipboard - announced, coming soon
YouTube - Metrotube and a plethora of other options do the job better than the official apps on Android and iOS.
Photoshop and Pixlromatic - Nokia Creative Studio is better (personal opinion). Not really a must have app for most.
Press, Tasker, PowerAMP & Sleep as Android - never really heard of them before. You probably bought them up to troll.
Pocket - Pouch is much better looking and fully featured client.
Swiftkey - not required since the stock WP keyboard is one of the best around, something that cannot be said for Android.
Real Racing 3 - not available in the store, but Asphalt 8 is much better (personal opinion).
Anything else SleepingOz? :]

Its a done deal. Read some news. Plus it would have been an issue only if it was being a threat to national security which it isnt.
16. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
No, be sure.
5. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
IMO, MS needs to formulate a tuned down version of WP8 and load all Asha devices with it.. Those devices would be able to run a lot of apps in the store.. This would increase WP market share considerably..
9. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1615; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
WP8 is tuned down by nature, it runs on a single core and 512mb ram which most of new low end phones have now days. The only issue is some games or apps require in rare cases 1gb of ram.
20. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
No, they could give Asha devices a version with features left out like Kids corner, and Local scout.. These are smartphone features, and some require more advanced services.. It's not all about the hardware...
12. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
whats the point...ashas have a good OS...it encourages other OSes to thrive and besides Nokia shouldn't bow down the Microsoft at every occasion!
21. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
MS will be making Asha devices from now on.. They are a software company.. They should have their software and services on their products.. This is not unheard of..
14. akki20892 (Posts: 3902; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Asha is good os. I guess nobody want wp in asha devices, because Asha have more features than wp. And Asha is easy to use than wp and have better ui.
22. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
I disagree.
24. domfonusr (Posts: 565; Member since: 17 Jan 2014)
I'm with Rodney. Windows Phone has more features than Series 40, which is still Java-based. Yeah, Nokia tried to paint Asha's as smartphones, but they just aren't.
28. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
You can do a lot more with the NT kernel than you you can with Asha's foundation.. It just makes complete sense..
Some of these guys need to set their emotions, and hatred, aside and admit what makes sense...
32. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
WP Modern UI is the best looking UI, this asha UI looks like an ugly version of WP modern UI, also WP is often cited for it's simplicity, I suggest you actually use a WP before making such assumptions, Lumia 920 owner here.
39. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Tell me one thing that an Asha does better than a Lumia, barring battery life.
6. mayur007 (Posts: 577; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
seems like asha os but improved one
17. XperiaOptimusOne (unregistered)
Given Nokia's pricing on their Asha line, I don't see any point of buying one. You could get a decent Android phone for what they're asking for.
23. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Because a lot of times smartphones require a data plan.. And in emerging markets this isn't always available... It's gonna be a long time before feature phones are completely gone... A long time..

|Aggregated pages
|Mon, 09 Jun 2003 13:46:19 GMT
God Save the Queen, and may she have many more public-holiday-celebrated birthdays ;) I spent today adding whole-site-in-one-PDF support to Forrest. You'll see there are two new entries at the bottom of the menu: http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/sites/xml-forrest/index.html (0.5mb each; please be kind with Steven's bandwidth) It should also be pretty simple now to aggregate arbitrary sets of documents. For instance, we could have a HTML/PDF containing all the pages in one tab. Another thing I'd like to try is URL-defined aggregations, so: http://localhost:8888/index,primer,faq.pdf Gives you a PDF containing content from index.xml, primer.xml and faq.xml. The trickiest bit of aggregation is getting the links right. In our fictional index,primer,faq.pdf file, links from index to primer must be internal links, but links from index to any other non-included page are external. This is where 'site:' linking is useful, as depending on the linkmap used, 'site:primer' becomes: http://localhost:8787/forrest/primer.html (external link from PDF) or: #primer.html (internal link in PDF/HTML) or: primer.html (external link in HTML) I think I have got it right, but if you encounter any oddities please let me know. There are a few things that need cleaning up still. The aggregated page title needs to be obtained from somewhere (skinconf.xml I guess), as does the base URL for external links from PDFs, which is currently 'http://localhost:8787/forrest'. The community/howto/* pages break in the CLI for some reason I haven't worked out yet. Then the aggregation system and @tab tab systems need documenting. --Jeff

Search tree research
The search tree is the actual search pattern in front of the shelf; from the moment one enters the aisle up to product purchase. Many different things influence the search tree, including the shopper mission, familiarity, shelf layout, brand blocking and packaging. Eye tracking is a great tool to understand the search tree, which may or may not overlap the decision tree. It quantifies the impact of each of the above-mentioned aspects on the considered set.
In a typical research setting, two or three of these aspects are measured. Metrics tell you for each of the displayed shelf layouts what is seen and what not, what is considered and what not, and what is purchased from the considered set.
