Shimla Mall Road
Channel partners in the capital of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla, have been grappling with several external and internal business challenges. Majority of the IT partners are predominantly banking upon home users, but going by the increase in online buying, partners fear to loose their home clientele in the coming times. The impact of online buying is apparent, since this year Diwali sales saw a drop of 50%.
Concerned on the present unfavorable scenario in Shimla, Anil Sharma, general secretary of Shimla IT Dealers Association Society (SIDAS) and owner of Ace Infotech said, "This is high time for Shimla IT partners to work in isolation. Our association will be working towards taking up important issues which are posing threats to the growth our business. We have to come out with solutions to safeguard our business for the long run. We have started getting heat from online buying. Looking at the trend, our association will create an online portal where we can gear up for this threat."
Another big threat that the Shimla partners have been facing for the past many years is the burden of freight charges; each partner has to pay Rs 300 per box on freight, which means 1-2% of their revenue is spent on buying the material, which as a result, is making the goods expensive as compared to the neighboring cities like Chandigarh.
Jayant, president, SIDAS and Rupin Rekhi of Satellite Computers are annoyed over the freight charges imposed by the national distributors for delivering the materials. According to them, materials worth Rs 1 lakh, including taxes, amount to Rs 75 as the freight charge, and anything above Rs 1 lakh costs the resellers something in the range of Rs 300 as the freight charge. Venting his anger, Jayant said, "We do not understand the logic behind their freight charges. Distributors like Ingram, Savex, Compuage among others charge amounts, which are totally unacceptable. In return, we deliver the goods to our customers for free."
Apart from the external trade issue, the most disturbing factor for the IT partners is the step mother treatment on the hands of the state government. Unlike other hilly states such as J&K, where the government is the biggest buyer of the IT, in Shimla, the government is posing a major roadblock for the development of the local IT partners, as the government departments fulfill their IT needs by HP State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (HPSEDC). The main objectives and functions of this corporation include promotion of computerization in the state (particularly in the state government departments and its undertakings), development of software packages, procurement and supply of computer hardware, software and other related electronic products, office automation and medical equipments at reasonable rates. This government machinery is a biggest competitor to the entire HP partners.
"Since government being the largest IT buyer, unfortunately we do not have any role to play in the segment as HPSEDC directly procures the material from the IT companies. We expected the new government in HP to look into this matter, which has been discussed at several forums, but there is still no headway," said Sharma.
Moving forward, the association is planning to take up the VAT issue with the upcoming government soon. After the J&K government waived off VAT on IT products, the association is seeking participation from Himachal partners to come forward and form a joint action committee so that they can also do away with VAT in HP.
Besides other teething problems such as lack of a service support center, collection points, logistics and real estate are the daunting challenges for the Shimla IT channel partners.

|Smiling Titan
The "Smiling Titan" is the unofficial name of the 14-15m Titan that was notable for killing Eren Yeager's mother, Kalura Yeager, during the invasion of Wall Maria. It was later devoured by other Titans directed by Eren, after killing Hannes, who saved Eren and Mikasa from the assault of the Titan itself.
The "Smiling Titan" was 14-15 meters tall and it was shown to lack intelligence like other Titans in its class. Its main distinguishing feature was its characteristic grinning smile; in which its lips were fixed wide open, exposing its teeth and gums within at all times. In the anime, the sclera of its right eye has a luminescent yellow color.
The Smiling Titan had a thin emaciated frame with stocky proportions, in which its ribs were visibly apparent, and it possessed an unusually long neck. It had medium-length dark hair that only barely reached down to its head. Though it was not unlike many other Titans in terms of its instinct to seek out and eat humans, it's been shown to kill its victims before devouring them.
Fall of Shiganshina arcEdit
After the Colossal Titan breaches the walls of the Shiganshina District, many Titans proceed inside and among them is the Smiling Titan. It embarks inside the town and is seen by Eren and Mikasa as they try to free Kalura Yeager under debris. Though Hannes initially comes to their aid and decides to face the Smiling Titan, he stands catatonic in fear of its frightening appearance. After Hannes realizes that he is too afraid to face it, he opts to instead take Eren and Mikasa to safety, leaving Eren's mother behind. Afterwards, Eren witnesses the Smiling Titan pull Kalura out of the debris, as it proceedes to violently incapacitate her and devour her shortly thereafter.
During Eren's days training to enlist into the military, it has a traumatizing impact on Eren. This is evident when he is approached by his fellow classmates about his impressions regarding normal Titans, in which Eren experiences a flashback of the Smiling Titan devouring his mother; associating normal Titans to the trauma caused by the Smiling Titan. He remains silent and is visibly shaken by the thought, until maintaining his composure in front of his classmates and shrugging it off as if he were unaffected by their questions.
Clash of the Titans arcEdit
Five years later, after Eren had already joined the Survey Corps, the Smiling Titan appears again before Eren and Mikasa outside the Forest of Giant Trees during the military's pursuit of the Armored Titan. After killing Hannes, who was protecting Eren and Mikasa before he was devoured, the Titan reaches out for Eren, who punches its hand. This activates powers he was previously unaware of, and seemingly gains control over the surrounding Titans. The ones that are under his control proceed to kill the Smiling Titan, by ripping it to shreds and devouring it.
- The scene of Kalura Yeager's death is depicted slightly different in the anime and manga. In the manga, the Smiling Titan squeezed her until her spine snaps, making her vomit blood and twitch in its hand before it ate her, whereas in the anime, it simply breaks her spine off-screen with both hands, showing the Smiling Titan bite downwards with blood spraying afterwards.
- The Smiling Titan is the only Titan shown to kill a victim before devouring them.

Can computer games be designed to deliver education in an effective manner?
With high school drop outs becoming a national epidemic and kids terminally bored with education in its present delivery format, could a series of educational games be devised to get kids from pre-school to high school graduation? I'm talking of games so compelling and interesting, yet gradient in skill levels, that ALL schooling will become home schooling and the costs of running brick and mortar school districts would disappear into the dust bin of history. The money saved by municipalities could be used to supply every child of age 3 with his own gamer system. My feeling is that incredible skill sets could be taught in short order, including cognitive skills that could rival autistic savant levels. It is becoming more clearly evident that we either get smarter faster or we welcome back the 12th century.

Jan 18 2012: I know, the digitization of learning is a bit scary and has issues. But the power of simulation training is evident and could become an educational paradigm soon. If the Japanese or other techno savvy people get a leap on us, we'll be playing catch up for years. Maybe brick and mortar schools can be cut back into "lab sites" where kids can come together in field trips to get hands on experience. But keep in mind that simulations can be extremely realistic. They are used to train surgeons and jet pilots.

Despite losing 27-13 to the Houston Texans at Metradome, Sharrif Floyd was in a cheerful mood this weekend. The 22-year-old made his NFL debut Friday night and though he had to leave the game early, Floyd had a lot to be thankful for after dodging a potentially serious knee injury.
Late in the second quarter of Friday's preseason opener Floyd went down and raised some serious concern while he lay there on the ground after a 2-yard carry by Texans running back Cierre Wood.
"Late cut (block) and I came off to the side," Floyd said of his injury. "It felt weird, and when something feels weird, don't move. (Trainers) said everything was fine so no problems."
The rookie defensive tackle did not move from his position for a sometime while being attended by athletic trainer Eric Sugarman and other members of the Vikings' training/medical staff who were examining his left knee. However, it was a comforting sign when Floyd walked off the field under his own power, even though did not return to the game at a later interval.
"He should be fine," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier offered some reassurance based on his immediate understanding of Floyd's injury after Friday's game. "We could have put him back in the game, but decided (with) where we were at this time of the year we didn't (need to)."
Despite taking 15 defensive snaps which constitutes to just 20 percent made in the game, Floyd made a good first impression finishing with a tackle for a loss and also deflecting a pass by Texans quarterback T.J. Yates at the line of scrimmage.
"I felt as though everything went well," Floyd said. "Obviously I can get better at everything I do. So I'll go back, sit down with coach and find all the ways to get better."
Floyd said there was "not a chance" he would be held out of a practice – with the Vikings returning to Mankato on Sunday for the final week of their training camp.
As a first-round pick by the Vikings in April, Floyd is projected to backup Kevin Williams at the 3-technique this season. But with Willams among the veterans who were held out of Friday's game, Floyd got a chance for a bigger role. Defensive end Christian Ballard got the start inside on the frontline, alongside nose tackle Letroy Guion.

Matt, thanks so much for this LIghtroom 5 Basics instruction. You made it so clear and easy to follow! I can't believe how hard I had made it for myself stumbling around the past 2 months. It really makes sense now. Great course.
In this class, Matt Kloskowski walks you through the key things you need to know to get up and running right away. You'll learn the easiest and quickest way to get your photos into Lightroom. If you've ever had trouble organizing, Matt makes this a total breeze. Then you'll learn how to organize your favorites, the most important settings for editing those photos, and finally how to share them with everyone else.
Get instant access to this course & more
Matt introduces the class and goes over what we'll cover.
The most important thing when you start using Lightroom is where to put your photos. You'll learn how to get started the right way, with a folder structure that can grow with you.
Once you come back from a photo shoot, you'll want to get moving quickly and get your photos in to Lightroom.
Chances are that you've got photos taken before you started using Lightroom and you want to get them in your photo library as well.
One of the main advantages of Lightroom over other programs is sorting and organizing your photos. In this lesson you'll find out the easiest ways to do that.
Once you've found your favorites, Matt shows you how to use Collections (kinda like Albums) to organize them so they're just one click away.
You'll love the power of the Basic panel for editing your photos. There's a ton of different things we can do, but the Basic panel still remains one of the most useful.
Once you've done some global edits, you can hone in and do selective edits with Lightroom's tools as well.
Matt finishes up the Develop module by going through some of the more advanced (but not that advanced) editing tools that you may come across.
Whether it\'s simply saving a JPEG or sharing your photos online via email, Facebook or Flickr, Lightroom has built-in ways to do this automatically for you.
It's all about the print. Between the photo books and the Print module, you'll learn how you can get great prints that look just like they do on your screen.
Matt, thanks so much for this LIghtroom 5 Basics instruction. You made it so clear and easy to follow! I can't believe how hard I had made it for myself stumbling around the past 2 months. It really makes sense now. Great course.
Matt, Thanks for a very well done video. It has enabled me to avoid a lot of frustration. When I've made several photos of the same subject my inclination is to select what I think is the best one prior to working on it in lightroom. What is the quickest method of accomplishing this. When I have attempted to compare 2 side by side it seems to be slow.

This High-Yielding REIT Has Soared Along With the Housing Market
By Emmanuel Floriann - August 8, 2013 | Tickers: AI, MFA, TWO
If you are a dividend investor, Arlington Asset Investment (NYSE: AI) should be on your radar. This company has consistently paid dividends since 2003, and currently yields a whopping 14%. On top of that, its shares are also doing well, gaining an astounding 26.9% growth this year.

By Nur Tarkak - June 24, 2013 | Tickers: NLY, ARR, IVR, MFA
Invesco Mortgage Capital (NYSE: IVR) is one of the most attractive dividend stocks, yielding an astounding 14.26%. But it is quite risky, as well. The stock performance is a roller coaster, with numerous dips and jumps for this year. The bottom-line is a loss for this year so far. However, this is offset by its yield, which is higher than its share growth. Shares of Invesco might soar if more »
Mortgage Lessons of the Past Are Quickly Forgotten in This ETF
By Jeff Stouffer - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, MORT, MFA
The ability to forget and repeat mistakes is well recorded in the history of humanity. Back in the hey-days of mortgage originations, the idea of pooling individual mortgage obligations and restructuring the payment streams to fit investor appetites seemed like a great way for a bank to free up its balance sheet and create new mortgages. History reminds us that the demand to produce such mortgage pools led us down more »
What I Think Of ARMOUR Residential REIT
By Ron Chatterjee - February 21, 2013 | Tickers: AGNC, ARR, IVR, MFA
While rising mortgage rates increase the chance of higher revenue, higher leverage still concerns me in regards to Armour Residential (NYSE: ARR). It is not a people's favorite these days, as the monthly stock price graph shows--yet you have a "buy" rating from my end. With increasing stability in the housing market, a lower valuation, and improving fundamentals, the company might be worth a glance.

Insiders Are Buying These High Dividend Stocks
By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 30, 2013 | Tickers: HTA, IRC, MFA, NMFC, NS
We track insider purchases because stocks bought by insiders tend to outperform market indices (see our analysis of studies on insider trading). While this is somewhat interesting on its own, the relationship becomes considerably stronger (though it still does not work in many cases) when considering stocks that multiple insiders, or a "consensus" are buying (Read more about consensus insider purchases).

How to Capitalize on the Mortgage Market
By Mohsin Saeed - December 13, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, ARR-A, CMO, MFA, PMT
To stimulate growth in the sluggish US economy, the Fed announced the launch of QE3. QE3 was aimed at particularly supporting the US housing and labor markets. However, the US labor market is still not close to the kind of improvement imagined by the Fed. I believe QE3 will stay even if the financial cliff is averted. Given the situation, I recommend investors stay away from pure play Agency Mortgage more »
The Dividend Farm
By Chris Hodge - December 5, 2012 | Tickers: ANH, BFR, CMO, MFA, TNH
Dividends come in a lot of different forms, but REITs and other kinds of trusts are some of the best ways to supercharge your income from stocks. One of my favorite inventions of all time is the DRIP (dividend reinvestment plan), because it allows your dividends to automatically purchase more shares and literally build your wealth for you.
Now, I would never suggest you fill your entire portfolio with REITs more »

Can These REITs Keep Paying Big Dividends?
By Michael French - January 29, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, AINV, ARR, CIM, MFA
For years now, REITs have been seen as an investment vehicle to generate a stable and consistent income stream for investors. Since they are required to pay at least 90% of their taxable income in the form of dividends, they have been an attractive option for income-minded investors.
Many investors make the mistake of making broad statements with regards to REITs. In fact, they are very complex and very different more »

By DividendYields - December 25, 2011 | Tickers: NLY, CBL, CIM, EPR, LRY, MFA, PGH, PWE, PT, WIN
Dividend stocks are wonderful because they increase my cash with regular payments. One major date in relation to the payment is the ex-dividend date. If you own a stock before this date, you get the next payment. This is very interesting because in the case of a high yield stock, I can earn at least one percent in cash for a short period of investing.

CHICAGO, IL - NOVEMBER 13: Charles Tillman #33 and Julius Peppers #90 of the Chicago Bears joke with teammates on the bench near the end of a game against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field on November 13, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears defeated the Lions 37-13. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Charles Tillman; Julius Peppers
Chicago Bears star Julius Peppers defended his academic record Saturday afternoon and expressed his concern over the University of North Carolina posting his college transcript.
A week ago, the university posted a "test" transcript which was very similar to Peppers' purported transcript, including a 1.84 GPA. The transcript has since been removed, but the mistake does not bode well for a school that is already under review for academic fraud.
On Saturday, Peppers issued a statement to the Chicago Tribune.
"This statement is in response to false allegations regarding my connection to an academic scandal within the University of North Carolina athletic and African-American studies departments. This week has been an upsetting and challenging week for me, as one of my most private academic documents appeared on the university's website for public examination. I'm terribly disappointed in the fact that my privacy has been violated, as well as frustrated with whoever negligently and carelessly committed such a flagrant error."
The rest of his statement recounts his experience as a college student adjusting to independence and admits that his "priorities were not always aligned properly." Peppers then thanked Dr. Carl Carey and the athletic academic department for their help and guidance while he charted a course for his life.
Peppers expressed his continued gratitude for UNC's role in his growth and development.
"Going forward, a decade later, I can honestly say that I now understand the importance of supporting students early in their college career. Presently, I'm thinking of ways that I can use my experiences and resources to help assist them. Thanks and Go Heels."
See the Chicago Tribune's report for the full statement.

Just finished with Thrashers morning skate before tonight's game against New Jersey.
Ondrej Pavelec will start in goal for the Thrashers after his win Thursday against Dallas. "It ain't rocket physics," coach John Anderson said of the decision to start Pavelec.
The scratches tonight will be Bryan Little, Anssi Salmela and the injured Mark Popovic.
With Little out of the lineup, the lines looked like this at practice:
Afinogenov was awarded the Thrashers player of the month for November by the team's fan club.
I will check back in later.

Brendan, you're sniffing glue or drinkin' what Don Cherry is drinkin' if you're gonna blame Bryan Little for that goal in Fla. The guy fell down!! Weird things happen and Little has been hustling more than his captain for over 6 games now. Perhaps he didn't jibe well with Kovy and Antro the other night, but he can't carry the burden of winning every puck battle at the wall and corner when Kovy is floating around like a gypsy and Antropov is staying high so he can get back defensively. If you don't see the problem with our defense right now, then I don't know what to tell you. Tonite's hi-lites show that Bogosian has "lost himself" and Hainsey is either hurting Bogosian's "edge" or is playing worse trying to cover for all the poor decisions that Bogo is making. But that game-losing goal was Hainsey's and Bogosian's fault…plain and simple.
December 19th, 2009
11:40 pm
But Smoothie, what if Little hadn't fallen down? Wouldn't he have still been marking his man? I think the answer is, "yes." How is Little supposed to do that with his butt cheek on the ice? I don't know, either. Our D is in trouble, though. At least, lately. And, as you know, our shots against has been high all year. But our goaltending has bailed us out.
December 19th, 2009
11:45 pm
Brendan, I spoz you could make that argument, but guarding the side of the crease is normally the assigmnent of a D-man, is it not? You might see a center down that low to clear rebounds but how often do you see a winger down below the circles? Bogo got caught flat-footed after trying to block the shot. In addition, Bogo screened Moose which caused him to give up a juicier rebound than normal since he didn't see the shot well. Hainsey was basically playing like Hainsey and it cost us.
December 19th, 2009
11:45 pm
I don't know what's up with Kovy's floating. And Bogosian pulling the ol' "flaming" on a Devil's shot. Things just … plain … aren't going spectacularly at the very moment. But as I gaze at the standings, we're not hopelessly, helplessly out of playoff contention. There's just got to be a meaningful meeting of the minds to correct the inadequacies of our game. I don't know that Ilya can just "flip on the switch" that will make him excel defensively. Bob Hartley used to tell Ilya, "Kovy, if you learn how to play defense, you'll be the best winger in the whole NHL." Maybe Kovy was thinking, "I'm already the best winger in the NHL." And if that is his thought, it'll be hard to convince him otherwise, to be more defensively committed.
December 19th, 2009
11:48 pm
See Smoothie, that's the post I agree with. The D has to be situationally aware. As you point out. But, at the same time, any forward engaged in backchecking has to stay on his guy. He can't let him up. I can already here Howie Meeker's whiny voice, pleading, "Forwards, you've got to FINISH YOUR CHECK." Ahh, how I miss "Howie Meeker's Hockey School."

Another totally heartless embarrassing giveup job by Yardbirds at Loseland. It rarely gets much worse than this! No points in a showdown in which at least one point was critical. Anyone out there who still believes Kapitan Ilya Kovalchuk is not in full Maryann Hossa mode should be strapped in a straightjacket then confined to a room with heavily padded rubber walls. The Russian is through as a Yardbird! That was plain to even a blind person tonight. Who needs Kari Lehtonen when sieve Pavs is available? I look forward to a game at Loseland where NO fans show up to watch these quitters! Fan support has to be earned. These gutless wonders have done nothing to generate any excitement or enthusiasm for fans! Trade IK. Maybe the prima donna will actually try for some other team! It is obvious his captaincy is nothing more than a cruel sham! Coach John Petrino should rip the damn C off chest of uncaring captain then fling it into nearest wastebasket. No captain quality bums on this team! The way I am feeling right now he can go to another team, Russia or to Hell. I am nauseated by his total lack of effort! From the damn team captain! Cannot say much more. Too damn mad and aggravated. Hope heartless Falcons lose by multiple touchdowns in a few hours! Damn them all. ++STENDEC++

Sigh. That should read, "flamingo," not flaming. As in, Bogosian stood on one leg when facing a "shot blocking" situation. Goalies hate that. All you're doing … is screening him. Either surrender the shot and the goaltender view of it … to commit to blocking the shot.

A lot of people don't know this, but Stendec used to be a minor league GM. I tried to see him a few times. But I could never get the door to his office more than a crack open. It was always obstructed by all the puck bags he'd accumulated from the players he traded throughout the years.

Where do I join the Chico Resch Fan Club? Guy was right on! About everyone and everything. ++STENDEC++ See why apologist Brendan does not like him. Damn truth hurts! BTW – JUST read latest post about me. Keep chirping Yardbird apologist as the team which fails to draw fans packs up for relocation to Hamilton. Hopefully your stupid a$$ will be in a Greyhound right behind them! Jerk.

Bren, I hear ya on that. If Little had been on Frolik all along, I spoz he should've been the one chasing him to the goal. But I didn't see the beginning of the play, just the "hi-lite" of the goal. No worries. I think we both know there is something wrong right now. Is it the Kovy contract situation or is the system failing? Or do we not have the right players for the system? We have talent, but hockey is so much more than talent as you know.
December 20th, 2009
1:08 am
We have a ton of talent. What we don't have is Kovalchuk's mind in the game.
For the record, Valabik was +1, had an assist, and zero penalty minutes.
December 20th, 2009

I wish I knew what was being said or thought by the players about the defensive effort last night, and the two games before. Pathetic. Poor Pevs, just signed on for 2 more years of that crap? Is Bogo playing D like his Captain now? Those 2 commentators ripped us all night long, even when we were leading. If any team is wanting to trade for Kovy, I hope they don't watch film of that game.
Where is that shrink that worked with John Smoltz years ago? Dr. Lewelyen? Kovy needs him.
Lets go back to talking trade…Kovy for Wheeler, a D man, because you know Kubina is gone and a # 1. Savard and Kovy back together.

Torn and confused, I don't know what to do.
Given that I am about to be wed,
Sooner or later, this feeling should end.
This invisible love may not be known,
But I know through my deeds, t'was already shown.
Seeming to beat like it has its own mind,
My heart doesn't want to leave you behind.
I would always cherish your smile and your face;
I would always long for your warm embrace.
Indeed by tomorrow, I will be his,
But you will remain to be my bliss.

An India Inspired Stay-cation Garden
The Gardenist
With big work deadlines looming at the end of the summer for both my husband and me, this is the first time in a few years where there is no summer vacation to speak of for our family. We will make up for it later in the year, but while the weather is warm I've been thinking about how to turn our garden into a stay-cation playground.
Our collective dream vacation would be a journey to India, so looking to the country's rich culture for inspiration, here are a few suggestions for capturing the Bollywood vibe — just a few feet from your back door.
First things first, there simply must be an Indian tent. These can be rented (check with a local wedding tent supplier) or purchased. They aren't cheap to buy, but they are beautifully made, will last many many summers, and cost less than four airplane tickets to India. I would even consider a tent a good (and comparatively cheap) replacement for a pool house if you have a garden with a pool. Indian Garden Company has the most special and customizable versions I have ever seen.
Erect the tent — plan to sleep out in it. Order some Indian takeout and eat on floor cushions. At the very least, teach yourself how to make a mango lassi and sip it while reading The God of Small Things or The Life of Pi (what other great India-inspired novels do you all love? These were favorites of mine, but feel free to make suggestions below).
If you don't have space for a tent, an exotic umbrella can be quite transformative too. This one is from Bali Umbrellas — I love the happy elephant umbrella stand.
Make sure there are plenty of loungy floor cushions. There are lots of versions to choose from, so you can style and layer them to your taste. These are great for indoor use too — very handy in kids' rooms, playrooms, or for movie night in the living room — so think about how you might use them after you come home from your stay-cation (these Urban Outfitter's pillows above come in a variety of colors and are a bargain at $29).This pretty blue one caught my eye - and it's only $12!
Do you have any other ideas for creating an India (or other favorite destination) inspired stay-cation setting in the back garden? Feel free to share.

I love this! There's nothing like a good stay-cation to relax the mind and the soul!
We've just created our own little oasis in the backyard and it makes a huge difference: http://www.freshcoatofpaint.ca/2013/07/our-backyard-oasis.html
If you have kids, reading Kipling's Kim together can be enjoyable. Besides being a fun book, it offers a removed-from-right-now way to talk about social and economic issues. If you enjoy science fiction, S. M. Stirling's Peshawar Lancers will make you grateful for the summer heat.
My absolute favorite book having to do with India is Shantaram, by Gregory David Roberts. This is the book that convinced me I must someday go to India and made me fall in love with Bollywood. I usually read it once a year - it is that good! If you want an Indian staycation, this is the book!
The pillows are such a nice color. I may have to do some shopping soon :).

Despite all the heat between he and Anderson Silva leading up to their rematch at UFC 148 last week, Chael Sonnen has been rather subdued following his second-round TKO loss to the champion.
Many people have interpreted Sonnen's more reserved attitude as him pulling back from the fight game. Questions immediately soared his way about everything from retirement to following Brock Lesnar to the WWE.
Sonnen quickly shot down all of those rumors, but on Thursday night's edition of UFC Tonight, he stirred the pot a little, explaining his outlook on retirement and fueling the fires of speculation with some chatter of his own.
"I love this sport and I would never want to retire. My coach Clayton will be the one that retires me based on my results and productivity in practice," said Sonnen.
More MMA
"I could have easily defeated (Anderson Silva). Physically I'm fine; mentally I'm fine. Give me a couple of weeks to settle in and when you get in the spot that I am in, we will see. Anderson could retire any day now."
But what will surely get people talking is what Sonnen had to say next, priming the pump for a possible jump up in weight classes.
"There is simply an option to start over by changing weight class. My mentors have done it and it could happen. I would go up to 205. Jon Jones. There are some great guys at 185, but traditionally and historically it is a good way to get a fresh start and start over."
Sonnen has fought at light heavyweight in the past, but has spent the latter part of his career at middleweight.
Still, do the waters get any easier at 205? Sonnen went 0 for 2 against Anderson Silva; is he likely to fair better against UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones?
For more UFC News and UFC Rumors, follow MMAWeekly.com on Twitter and Facebook.
Sonnen move.. probably not but I do think the next fight might be a Franklin Sonnen. Both went 0 and 2 vs silva but against each other would make for a very interesting fight.
I agree. Franklin Sonnen would be a GREAT fight.
I would like to see this fight, but it would be at 185 where rich is making one run.
I would like to believe Sonnen would do well against Jones Considering he's tremendous pressuring style and takedowns.. he's for sure a more better Wrestler in every way than Jones. And Jones doesn't possess the power to scare him on the feet or to Stand up and trade and i think Sonnen knows that. other than that get past his reach and maybe we'd have a fight.
Guys like hamil and Vlady who are better Wrestlers than Sonnen might disagree with you since Jones tossed them around like training dummies.
Chael Sonnen is a way better wrestler than Matt Hamill & Vlady. Chael is top 5 in the UFC period when it comes to MMA wrestling. I will say that I don't think that he would beat Jones though. Jones is an excellent wrestler as well and should be a heavyweight so he would use his size and leverage to out power Chael.
OH GOD! Chael nuthuggers are going out of control. Mind you, Chael is at 185 because he couldn't hang with 205lbers.
Even Forrest choked him out. At 205, Chael is going to be just another middle-of-the-pack one-trick pony.
But yes, Chael is a more decorated wrestler than Hamill & Vlady for sure. Hamill wasn't even Div 1 and Vlady…not sure.
King Mo is just as decorated as Chael but at 205, it's a different ball game.
Lesnardo/TKD you are one in the same. You are a Silva nuthugger so who the **** are you to talk about anyone? Did you even read my comment Moron? You're posts are pointless, why do you waste our time?
how does objectivity = nuthugging?
Chael, objectively, has some of the best wrestling in MMA. GSP has no wrestling credentials, but is one of the best applied-wrestlers. Munoz is one of the more decorated wrestlers in MMA, but his MMA-applied wrestling is horrible.
getting submitted as many times as Chael has means his BJJ is lacking, not his wrestling.
Hamil and Vlady competed internationally. Sonnen never made it that far. and division doesn't matter there's a d3 wrestler competing in the Olympics this year.
Agree, that would be a good fight.
He may be a better wrestler,but not that much better to dominate Jones and Jones' takedown defence is second to non. As for the power of Jones, maybe not one punch power, but elbows and knees that Sonnen would eat in bunches. Sonnen proved he has no power, how many times did he hit silva and barly marked him. caught him with a couple but no where near knocking him out. I don't think Sonnen would make it past the first round. He would have to test himself at 205 and see how he faired, remember his pressuring style comes from being the bigger fighter, and at 205 he wouldn't have that advantage. Unless he started juicing again
All of you guys make solid points but as a fighter myself i look at it more different , as all of you i'd expect Jones to win. but i wouldn't feel it would be an easy win either. Chael might be the smaller guy but that doesn't apply when you have the Takedown accuracy and pressure Chael brings i'm not a nuthugger like whatever his name is called most of us. but Jones can possess all the Elbows and Knees but at the same time they only work if he's on top of you he hit Evans with standing clean elbows ( Can't Stand his reach ) and still couldn't put him to sleep. i think Chael can take Jones Elbows and not get hurt. Has a Solid Chin.
Sonnen does fair better against jones than Silva, Jones= Less Accurate compared to Silva, Less power compared to Silva, Weaker Chin compared to Silva. So what I'm saying is if Chael can take Jones to ground like he did Silva, Jones would not survive like Silva did, but with that said he wouldn't be able to take Jones down because Jones has a better take down defense compared to Silva
Weaker chin compared to Silva? I'm sorry, has anyone dropped Jones? I haven't seen it, has anyone else?
ifighterc, you are a moron.
Jones would butcher Sonnen plain and simple, and I'm a huge Chael fan.
Sonnen beating JJ? LOL
Not likely. I would like to see Silva jump up to 205 and fight Jones. Jones would wreck Silva.
I would like to see Jones jump up to HW and fight JDS. JDS would wreck Jones.
Jones would wreck Silva and JDS.
Then why doesn't he?
He will when given the chance…its like me asking why Anderson doesnt whoop Jones…only an idiot would ask a rhetorical question like that.
Damn another kid who thinks Jon jones can beat Anderson Silva.. ARE YOU FREAKING INSANE? Do you see how horrid Jones is on the feet. Anderson is masterful. jones would be a mad man to go stand with Silva. and Yeah let him Takedown the smaller man makes him look real dominant. only way he'd win on points cause he sure wouldn't finish the fight.
ur a joke if JJ got AS down fight would be over in seconds
That might be true. Jones would probably be a 3:2 favorite over Silva??
Man lots of people don't give Silva the credit he deserves! How many times has Jon Jones defended his belt at 205? Only 3 times!! How many times has Silva defended his belt at 185? 13 times!!!!! Silva's been a champ WAY longer than Jon Jones & those are all FACTS! Silva would definitely win if he ever fought Jon Jones.
My bad I forgot Silva only defended his belt 11 times. Forgot about the 2 fights he had at 205…
Jones 3 title defenses have been against much tougher competition than Anderson's 11 wins.
RubeKegal is right. Shogun, Machida, Jackson, and Evans are much much much more scarier fighters than any of the 11 fighters Silva has faced at 185.
For god's sake, didn't Silva fight Theles Leites, Damian Maia, and Travis Lutter???
Anderson's tougher opponents were Chael, Hendo, and Vitor. Vitor couldn't hang with 205lbers so he dropped down. Hendo, at that time, wasn't the same Hendo now, who is on fire. And Chael…well….he didn't do well at 205.
Man…people totally forget that Machida was once considered the new Anderson Silva and Shogun was considered the king at 205.
Not to mention Machida dominates Anderson in sparring
A move up for Chael would create some interesting fights and earn him some more money but he's not going to win the belt there. Even if Silva moved up he'd get smashed by most of them.
Not true. Chael would get smashed but Silva could hang with the top 5, excluding JJ.
Silva vs Shogun, Machida, Hendo, or Evans all make sense at 205.
Case & point! Silva nuthugger to the core! Please stop with your crazy talk!
jonnypatrick, AKA, Johnnyhomo, leave me out of your posts (way up above). If you want to keep stalking Lesnardo like a high school girl, please go ahead.
Just because neither of us likes you (along with many others on here) doesn't mean I am Lesnardo. I have no need to create multiple usernames just to mess with you. I, unlike yourself, have a life. If I don't like you, and I do not, I obviously have no problem telling you. I don't need to hide behind an alias to do so.
You are an annoying, know-it-all prick, so don't be shocked that people here pick on you. If someone likes a fighter that you don't they are automatically "nuthuggers" to you. Who the f*ck asked for your opinion?
Starting to see why nobody likes you? I think everyone else does too.
Are we in grade school TKD? Pick on me! I love it, I punched little f**ks in the nose like you in grade school! I assumed you were one in the same because of your stupid f**king remarks, just like this one. You idiot, he(Lesnardo) called me a nuthugger (see above comments) for stating that Chael has superior wrestling. I don't give a f**k if you or anyone else on this site likes me, I have a life and real friends. You would be the loser that has online friends! You probably think that strippers like you too! Idiot…
As soon as more than one person starts making some sense on this site, jonnypatrick accuses them of being alter egos of each other.
I don't like Silva. I don't like Sonnen. But given that Silva has destroyed Forrest Griffin, who I would say is top 15 LHW, Silva's chances against Shogun, Machida, Evans, and Hendo (who he beat at 185) is really good.
JJ is a different story.
Sonnen has horrible track record at 205. So, I don't see any reason why I should think that he should move up to 205 to fight any top fighter, let alone JJ.
Lesnardo you don't make any sense. I made the comment that Sonnen had better wrestling than Hamill & Vlady but went on to say that Sonnen could not beat Jones. Then you replied: "OH GOD! Chael nuthuggers are going out of control." and then I replied to one of your delusional comments and know your internet entourage has been defending your honor! Lame, I know but we all have to put up with it! For the record that was the 1st time I ever accused you & TKD for being alter egos. I had to give you 3 something to do with your boring lives. To say that you don't like Silva doesn't make sense. It seems like every comment you make is about Silva.
jonnypatrick is a creepy stalker. He's been stalking me since yesterday.
jonnypatrick, AKA, Johnnyhomo, leave me out of your posts (way up above). If you want to keep stalking Lesnardo like a high school girl, please go ahead.

Starting to see why nobody likes you? I think everyone else does too.
in all fairness…I don't see this as nuthugging at all but rather a very good point…none of the 205ers mentioned have a significant size advantage on Silva at 205…he is not even a small 205er by the looks of things…Forrest is a big one and he had absolutely no problem against Forrest…that having been said…he already beat Hendo and would/could do it again even at 205…Shogun is too wild of a puncher and would fall victim to Silva's precision…if Hendo could catch him than silva certainly could….Machida is very good but I think Anderson is a step higher on the striking performance…though his takedown defense is way better…adn Evans…even though I consider him to be very boring and very over rated presents the most likely problem considering his well roundedness…but if Silva could avoid a take down, I see a similar result as Machida vs. Evans…
As for Jon Jones…seeing Silva fall victim to Chael's takedowns is the only smidge of reasoning I have for giving Jones any advantage…but watching the Machida fight (against Jones) and seeing how he out struck Jones in round 1…I believe that Silva would do just enough better to KO jones…I want to see it soooo bad…
That fight would break records for ppv undoubtedly…
The only person I could ever imagine to beat Anderson Silva is GSP…and that is still unlikely…I find GSP to be a far better wrestler than Chael Sonnen…and quite frankly…so is Chris Weidman…that kid is impressive
I can't believe you said GSP is a far better wrestler than Sonnen. Have you watched Sonnen wrestle? He is so good at wrestling, that with wrestling alone he fares a decent chance (2:1, 3:1) of beating the GOAT. Imagine if he were a BJJ expert or a world-class striker as well?
I hate to rain on your parade, but GSP may be close to Sonnen in terms of wrestling/takedowns/top control, or as a stretch he may even be on par in his weight class, but he most certainly is not a better wrestler than Sonnen. That's like saying Machida is a better striker than Silva. It's like saying GSP has more cardio than Frankie. Am I wrong here?
Certainly I can understand that point that perhaps GSP is only on par considering that he is smaller…however; I stick to my guns and I really do believe and strictly IMO that he is way better…rarely if ever does GSP miss a takedown…and Chael couldn't even take Anderson down in rd.2 or Bisping down at will…both Tasks I assume GSP could easily do…strictly assumption and I certainly respect your point because it is valid and probably based on more evidence than mine…mine is only opinion and me imagining this..perhaps wishfully…so no martial artist you are not wrong at all….
I'll just add my 2 cents' worth while we're at it: stop talking like fighters can win this fight or that fight. All reasonable mma fighters can beat anyone on any given day. Talk like men. For example: "Anderson is a 2.5:1 favorite against Chael". Or "jones is a small favorite against silva, but silva would probably dominate the rest of the LHW class". Is that too much to ask? Sorry, been a rough morning. Matt Serra beating GSPjght not have been due to anything other than he just got lucky. Same with Anderson's loss to a flying scissor heel hook. It just happens. If Anderson and Chael fought every month for the next 3 years, besides making all of us quite happy (and assuming no one got seriously injured), they would probably end up with a 10-26 record or so. Now some of you may argue, no, it would be 15-21, or 8-28, or whatever, but it would certainly not be 0-36, or even 4-32. That's just nonsense. Same with silva-jones. I think the last time I checked the theoretical odds, someone had jones a -150 favorite. My personal opinion is it would be an even fight. But whatever your opinion, you most certainly wouldn't risk calling jones a 4:1 favorite or something outlandish like that.
Time to trash talk other champ. No way he can make proper title run in any weight class…
If he CAN drop to 170, he has a good chance of beating GSP. But Chael looks like a big dude, not sure if 170 is feasible.
He can drop to 170. There just wouldn't be as much
Muscle on him, and he'd get fatigued more easily. He couldn't beat GSP at 170. He would be a 1:3 underdog at least.
Sonnen would get shockout in 5 seconds when he shoot on ones!
Even with TRT, Chael is only a contender at MW. What makes anybody think that he could contend at LHW without shooting himself up with testosterone by the gallon?
I'm sick of people saying that Anderson Silva should move up to LHW. Why he would do that? It doesnt make sense for his carrer. Why not ask Jon Jones to move down to face him? Some people just wanna see Silva lost, not matter what. What if he goes up and beat JJ? then what? People are going to say that he should go to HW and face Junior dos Santos?
Joan, I am not sure why you are talking about your boy Silva when the article is about Sonnen moving to 205. But what is really funny to me is that you would make such a dumb statement about Jones dropping to 185! It would not be possible, he should fight in the heavyweight division, if he wasn't 24 he couldn't cut to 205. Think about what you are saying…
I was replying to a comment about silva moving up. And What I say about JJ coming down I know its not possible, I was just making an example. Silva is the champ so he is the one who have to be challenged.
This is coming from ole Jonny Mr. Knowitall?? The guy that sits behind his keyboard and acts tough… Joan didn't bring up Silva, which is funny since this is an article about Sonnen, yet as soon as you see the name Silva you're OCD ass jumps in just to comment and make sure you want everyone to know that Silva is a horrible person… lol you're a dbag.
Shereko, are you stupid? Here first sentance was: joan Reply

I'm sick of people saying that Anderson Silva should move up to LHW.
Man you make yourself look like a fool on a daily basis! I asked her why she was talking about Silva when the article was about Sonnen. So again, why are you even on here wasting our time. Get a life
I meant her first sentence! I spelled her & sentence wrong. Thats for all you editors!
Here is more proof as to why people here do not like you, jonnypatrick. Joan is entitled to her opinion on ANYTHING she chooses to write. We don't need your uneducated input, a-hole.
TKD she can have her opinion, just as I have mine and you have yours. I just find it funny that she has to bring up Silva every time Sonnens name is mentioned! I am surprised you aren't defending Shereko like usual.
Man you make yourself look like a fool on a daily basis!
Oh…the irony in this statement!
TKD go chug some more semen dbag
jonny, dont pay attention to this turd shreko, he's looking for an argument.
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Silva could ask JDS to drop a little weight and at least meet him at a catchweight 10 lbs or so apart.
It's the "getting Silva to do the calling out" that's the hard part.
But first thing's first: Silva should NOT call out Jon Jones. He should simply take on a top-5 LHW and smash him. Then he would get the next crack at Jones/Hendo.
Furthermore, Silva should do this AFTER GSP moves up in weight to meet him in the Octagon. That's what they call it, right? The Octagon, where everybody who thinks they're the best, fight all the other fighters at or near their weight to see who's the best, right? So if GSP walks around at 190-195, and Silva walks around at 215, then they both make 185, and then GSP would be 190-195 at fight time, and Silva would be 195-200 at fight time. No reach difference. So what's the problem? I don't see a problem. Let's have it.
Sonnen making the move up to LHW makes little sense. Everyone claims that the MW division is the weakest, and that is why Silva dominates (I don't agree with that assessment). So, if Chael moves up, what success will he have as LHW if he couldn't win the title in MW?
He may enjoy some success at LHW, but chances are he will never get to title contention, let alone beat JJ for the belt.
Actually, Sonnen was at LHW before. He didn't do too well because of the size difference. He moved down to 185 and found success there. Not sure if going back makes sense for him. He will not have success there. 205ers have KO power.
There is nothing wrong with Sonnen picking whichever division he feels he can compete in the best for himself… with that he can make a pretty good living and doing something he enjoys doing. Every sport, or aspect of life you can't always be the best when there is someone better in your generation. Barkley and Malone in the Jordan era, Michelson in the Tiger era, etc… But, he can still be pretty good and there is a lot of good competition at either weight class. At this point I don't see it much different than BJ Penn, who just wants big fights and can go between classes.
That has to be the smartest thing you have said in months. Is that really you Shereko?
He said something smart because YOU say so, right? You are the biggest tool on this site, douche bag!
I find it funny that you spend all your time hating on me! It gives me something to laugh about while I'm at work, keep it up i'm here til 5!
lets be real you dont have a job scum bag
LOL @ macgrubber's comment to you, jonnypatrick ! See, everyone hates you!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!
If by everyone you mean you(TKD), Shereko, & Macgrubber. I'm glad that you f**k tards don't like me, as I said before this site isn't to make friends idiot. I post my comments because I want to and also to see the feedback from all you trolls that actually don't have a job. I don't know how I will make it through life knowing that you tools don't like my comments or me!
Lol at jonnypatrick subtly bragging about having a "job." WOW! You have a JOB???
I wasn't being subtle or bragging you f**king moron, I was saying keep it up because you 3 make my day go by faster laughing at your idiotic comments! As I said before keep it up, I'm here til 5 and that is in 17 minutes so keep em coming you f**k tards!
macgrubber, you still think GSP and Rory are dating moron? and TKD, you are a cancer who acts the toughest behind a keyboard yet call others out.
You dbags are real tough teaming up on jonny….friggin cowards. Then again for all we know macgrubber and TKD could be the same person.
Anyone who believes Chaell has a chance against Jon Jones is living iin a fantasy world. Chaell better be a better wrestler then Jones, but there is this thing called size and yes it mattters.
HELL NO!!! it dont make sense…chael should just retire like he said he would
jonnypatrick is a queer!!!!
I agree. He is weird. He sounds dumb too.
TKD I would open hand slap you down to the ground like the little b**ch you are. I assume you are a child now after that remark, so I wouldn't want to hit a minor! Who calls another grown man a queer online? Keyboard tough guy!
I live in Chicago, jonnypatrick. 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo. Any time you'd like to come and slap me I will be more than happy to meet you. Really, I would be happy to see you try.
Hey, I live in Madison. Do you mind if I come down to fight you?
TKD is a clown, pay no attention to him.
LOL at jonnypatrick's bitch, Rube coming to his lover's aid. That is precious, you two pole swallowers.
TKD, back so soon from the gay orgy? Wow that was fast!
A move to LHW for Sonnen doesn't make any sense and a fight against Jones really dones't make any sesne besides that fact that is might generate PPV buys and cash. Sonnen can't beat Jones, Griffen, Rua, Evans and Machida. He would have to go through at least two of those fighters to get a title shot. He can't those fighters. I would like to see him at 205 but I don't think that would be good for him at least career wise.
Sonnen has a really good wrestling. But that is all he has. His wrestling is his bread and butter. He does have very good GnP but he has no power behind those punches on the ground. He his like a little girl in my honest opinion. He has no stand up and his sub gam is ass. If it wans't for the fact that he is a good wrestler then he would be a very horrible fighter.
A lot people think that just becuase you are a good wrestler then you are a good fighter. You can be good are wrestling but you better be decent at stand up and submissions as well.
I think Chael Vs. Rashad would be a more exciting matchup. Both are coming off losses to the current champs.
After reading all these comments a few things come to mind. First and foremost, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly the down spiral begins. By the 3rd or 4th comment someone is insulting someone else. Is this bcuz of the demographic or human nature? 2nd I think if chael could make 170 the GSP fight might b a good one. 3rd, while GSP is a phenomenal athlete, I just don't see what he has for SILVA except lay n pray. If it stayed on the feet he would be ko'd before the 3rd. He has ZERO chance of finishing SILVA. If someone thinks differently, please intelligently cite any and all examples of how.

Quoth he, "Thou lovest, Punch, to prate,
And couldst for ever hold debate;
But think'st thou I have nought to do
But to stand prating thus with you?
Therefore to stop your noisy parly,
I do at once assure you fairly,
That not a puppet of you all
Shall stir a step without this wall,
Nor merry Andrew beat thy drum,
Until you pay the foresaid sum."
Then marching off with swiftest race
To write dispatches for his grace,
The revel-master left the room,
And us condemn'd to fatal doom.
Now, fair ones, if e'er I found grace,
Or if my jokes did ever please,
Use all your interest with your sec,[2]
(They say he's at the ladies' beck,)
And though he thinks as much of gold
As ever Midas[3] did of old:
Your charms I'm sure can never fail,
Your eyes must influence, must prevail;
At your command he'll set us free,
Let us to you owe liberty.
Get us a license now to play,
And we'll in duty ever pray.

Frequently Asked Questions
COMMUNITY OFFICIALSWhat is floodplain management?
Floodplain management consists of corrective and preventive measures that reduce the risk of flood damage. Measures include, but are not limited to, zoning, subdivision, or building requirements; special-purpose floodplain ordinances; mitigation and emergency preparedness plans; and flood-control works. More information on floodplain management and the requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) can be found on FEMA's NFIP Floodplain Management page.
Additionally, when communities enact floodplain management measures that exceed NFIP requirements, their policyholders can automatically receive a discount on their flood insurance premiums through the NFIP's Community Rating System (CRS) program – to learn more, visit the FEMA CRS Resource Center.
What is the role of the community when it comes to flood risk?
When a community decides to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the community must adopt and enforce minimum floodplain management standards. NFIP floodplain management requirements are designed to prevent new development from increasing flood risk and to protect new and existing buildings from anticipated flood events.
Community officials also have an important role in communicating flood risk to their residents.
Is there any way to obtain a community-wide discount on the cost of flood insurance premiums?
Yes. All communities in the NFIP adopt and enforce minimum standards for managing construction and development in their Special Flood Hazard Areas. When communities join the NFIP's Community Rating System (CRS), their policyholders receive a discount on flood insurance premiums when additional floodplain management activities are performed that result in a higher level of safety and protection for their citizens. The CRS recognizes communities for their additional efforts to (1) reduce flood damage to insurable property; (2) strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and (3) encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management. For information about joining the CRS, visit the FEMA CRS Resource Center.
Where can I find information about FEMA's grant program for hazard mitigation assistance?
Visit FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Assistance webpage for information on the different hazard mitigation assistance programs available through FEMA. Under these assistance programs, your community may be eligible for funding to implement eligible mitigation activities to reduce disaster losses and protect life and property from future damages.
What is the role of the community in the FIRM update process?
The community plays an important role throughout the FIRM update process. At the beginning of the process, FEMA meets with local officials to discuss the current flood risk present in the community and to ensure that any existing information available through the community is included in the new FIRM and FIS report. When the preliminary FIRM is released, communities have the right and the responsibility to provide constructive technical feedback to ensure that the FIRM is as accurate as possible. Communities also need to communicate information regarding the map changes to residents.

As Brazil's middle-income segment continues to grow, a straightforward equities buy has become trickier stock-picking terrain. Inflation and government policy are the biggest risks.

Brazils GDP has been growing at 3%-5% for most of the
last 10 years, but the Brazilian consumers growing power
is still the play equities investors love to talk about. Even
those late to tune in to the EM game understand that a major
demographic shift is underway, and still has room to grow.
The classe C or C class, as the middleincome
segment is called, in Brazil had come to represent 51% of the
population by 2009, up from 38% in 2003, according to the
Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV). The
Brazilian university expects it to reach 56% by 2014.
Definitions of the C class vary, but the FGV classifies it as a

Hello, my name is Christina, and I am a photographer. My mission in the world is that every woman know how amazingly beautiful she is. Because for us, beauty is tied to self-worth, confidence, empowerment… all that important good stuff.
I'm a bit of New York City playing in Colorado. I have a cosmopolitan aesthetic and attention to detail, with a laid back attitude about it all. Because if it's not fun, what's the point? I spend a lot of time on simple things like cooking, eating, walking, and conversing. The real juice of life comes from relationships with other people.
Being a photographer comes with a lot of responsibility for me. My family would argue over photographs when I was a kid. Argue, slam doors, steal and hide photo albums.
Photographs can't be replaced, re-taken or re-created. You'll always regret the photo you didn't take, or the photo you skimped on. So when I was given a pink and black 110 film camera, I took it very seriously. I knew that the photos I would take could not be taken by anyone else ever again. And that's where my love for photography grows from—I honor the unique and amazing connections between you and your loved ones, your clients, even yourself. So you exist as you are today for your children, and grand-children… long after you're gone.
I do:
- laugh, bike, invent,
knit, dream
- drink coffee
- play kitty games
- love you, my client, like crazy – I cry when I get really present to how amazing you are
- create timeless, authentic photographs
- dream big ( I already said that, didn't I?)
- honor my word
- look with my heart first, eyes second, equipment third
- go with the flow
- make you laugh
- answer my emails and phone calls
- fully participate in life
- And, of course, I love cupcakes! (Have you ever met a woman who doesn't?)
I don't:
- photoshop you beyond recognition
- awkwardly pose you and your family
- eat meat, or eggplant… or radishes
- create cliché photos, except for when I mean to
- hit snooze (I don't even use an alarm clock! Unless there's a flight to catch!)
I've been photographing people since 2000, and officially, legally started my business in 2008. It's the most amazing, crazy wonderful never-ending roller coaster ride! I love LOVE, and beauty and relationships. And I love people who love each other, who love their work and invest in themselves.
I would be giddy to hear from you! Call me! And let's discuss the possibilities! 970-459-0000

Expert Rating
Silver Award
User Rating
The Verna first made its mark in India as the Accent. The Accent went on into its fourth generation and was re-launched as the Verna in 2011 India, and it featured a completely new design known as fluidic design which is more modern.
The Hyundai is the only sedan in India to come with the best features and safety technology and also it has the most number of variants and engine options available making it available to a wider range of customers. It is a brilliant car and very well engineered. It competes with other mid-sized sedans such as the Fiat Linea, Renault Scala, Skoda Rapid and the Honda City.
The Verna's new design is simply amazing. It looks very sporty and elegant with its aerodynamic lines and curves and its sweeping body. It's got great on-road presence, with very nice tyres and alloy rims, the bumpers and panels are all made of good quality and the paint job also looks very good. The fluidic design approach has really worked very well on the Verna. There is plenty of chrome on the car to make it look a little plush as well.
The interiors of the Verna are really impressive and you will see that it looks very futuristic. There is plush leather upholstery on the high end variant, a nicely designed sliding front arm-rest for the driver, a nice glossy trim and finish to the dash to give it a premium feel, head rests eve for the rear seat passengers, and nice comfortable seats with decent leg room for all.
The car has a feel of high tech sophistication especially thanks to the instrument cluster and the overall ergonomics. It is very inviting and you will definitely love it.
There are many different variants available, but all are smooth and seamless with excellent power. There is a 1.4 litre diesel and petrol. The 1.4 litre diesel is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with 90bhp and the petrol is mated to a 5-speed gearbox with 105bhp – great figures for a 1.4 litre engine. Then there is a 1.6 litre petrol engine and a 1.6 litre diesel engine. You have the option of choosing either manual or automatic for both engines. The best performing variant we found to be was the 1.6 litre diesel mill with 125bhp and the manual transmission. The 1.6 litre petrol unit gives out 118bhp and both the auto and manual transmissions work wonderfully well.
The Hyundai Verna has the best ride quality in its class and it beats the competition not just in its suspension setup, but also in terms of its performance. The 1.6 litre engines are exceptionally good and they have fantastic power and acceleration. The steering is a little too light for my liking, but the response is still on key and the car doesn't really sway too much, it stays on line wherever you point it. You get power on demand, although there is a very small turbo lag in the diesel, but once you get going the car picks up speed instantaneously. The braking works well and the tyres provide excellent grip. The overall experience is very fun, especially if you enjoy driving. This surely is a driver's car.
Depending on your engine choices you will probably get around 12-14kmpl for the petrol variants and around 16-18kmpl for the diesel variants.
The Verna is also the best sedan in terms of you options for features. In the higher variants you get plenty of great features such as power steering, power windows, air-conditioning with pollen filters, keyless entry with smart key and push start/stop. There is also an in-built audio with steering mounted controls and tweeters, a cooling glove box and a rear view camera, driver information display and a shift indicator.
The Verna also has airbags including side and curtain airbags. Then there is ABS with EBD, impact sensing auto door unlock, fog lamps, central locking and reverse parking sensor with camera and park assist. No other sedan in this segment can offer these features.
The overall quality of the Verna is high quality and luxurious. The interiors are plush and the instrumentation clean and uncluttered. Everything looks very well made and built including the exterior quality and even the paint work. The Verna does however come with lots of electrical features so fining components for some of them can take time and can also be costly, but they are very well put together and they will not malfunction on you. Otherwise the regular servicing of your car is not a problem as it is engineered very well. The engines are sublime and the auto transmissions are trouble free and work very well.
Once again Hyundai offers a wide range of variants and this increases the price range. The base variants are very much worth every penny you spend and you will be guaranteed a pleasurable experience each time you drive your car. The higher end variant, especially the 1.6 litre diesel with automatic transmission is a little expensive, but you are paying for luxury and features that are not found elsewhere in this segment so it is also very much worth the money you spend. You need to ask yourself if the features and technology is more important than just a great engine and transmission.
The Verna is undoubtedly the segment winner in the mid-sized hatch back, and simply knocks out the European competition in terms of drive quality, performance and features. It also looks very good and is priced quite decently. You get a lot of variety so you can pick the perfect variant for yourself, all these little attention to details make it a great car.
