Put an Englishman into the garden of Eden, and he would find fault with the whole blasted concern; put a Yankee in, and he would see where he could alter it to advantage; put an Irishman in, and he would want to boss the thing; put a Dutchman in, and he would proceed to plant it.Josh Billings
When delusions are absent, the mind is the land of buddhas. When delusions are present, the mind is hell. Mortals create delusions. And by using the mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in hell. Bodhisattvas see through delusions. And by not using the mind to give birth to mind they always find themselves in the land of buddhas. If you don't use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is empty and every thought is still. You go from one buddha-land to another. If you use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is disturbed and every thought is in motion. You go from one hell to the next.Bodhidharma

How absurd it must seem for an immortal soul to be destined for Heaven or Hell, and yet be sitting in a kitchen, as a maid, or to see oneself objectified as a mechanic! how falsely the usual sunrise waked us, the clock dial, the city street the job!

In the greatest confusion there is still an open channel to the soul.

Chapter 15: Too Late
Yes, I made a pun (don't judge me)
Okay guys finally finished writing the latest chapter and submitted it to my beta, E. Edwin (who is a saint for still agreeing to be my beta after my long hiatus). It's a huge chapter (8700+ words!) and just a ton of surprises in it. Hopefully, I can post it soon.
And thank you guys. All of you who reviewed, added it to your favorites and alerts, and read it and waited all those months. I really didn't expect this much support for my first story. I love you guys and i hope that you'll stick with me till the end.
Yes! Thank you beta, E. Edwin, for the wonderful edits. And so, after three centuries, I am officially back from the dead. Here you go, guys, the first update of the new year.
Chapter 13: The Reunion (excerpt)
The moment she heard the gun being cocked, Natasha instincts immediately took over. Rolling to a booth near the window, she pulled out her own gun that was hidden within her jacket. She fired three consecutive shots at the attacker, and ducked under the sofa before a cluster of bullets passed her. The attacker continued on, though with a much more noticeable margin between each shot, which meant that at least one of her bullets hit its mark. Natasha secretly thanked Clint for his tips at shooting. She didn't do well with long-range combat that didn't include stealth.
The bullets suddenly stopped. Natasha hesitated. Either the attacker ran out of bullets or was about to go into a long drawn monologue, as was the standard for most of the villains she has encountered (Loki included).
"Natalia Romanovna, you traitor, come out!"
Natasha stiffened. She knew who that was.
finished writing the next chapter (FINALLY!!!)
It's off to beta for you, baby.
All right guys, after a very very very very very veeeerrrrryyyy long hiatus, I have returned. So, I should probably provide a little bit of info on the past couple of month.
To keep it short and simple, let's just say that I severely underestimated school. No, not just school, but senior year itself. Who knew how difficult balancing applications, scholarships, grades and extracurriculars. Anyone who's been through this knows what I'm talking about; knows how much of a chore it is to keep everything perfect so that universities would even consider you to be a potential student.
So, I'm done. I sent all my apps, my scholarships, my everything. Did. Done. Finished. No more. It's like a mule has just been lifted off my shoulders. So, this is what freedom feels like?
Anyway, I'm happy to say that I'm going back to writing, again. Now, that life has slowly steadied into some sense of stability, I can sit down and finish that half-written chapter of Compromising Situation in peace.
Stay tuned people, Greenhorn Soldier's back in the war.
Yup. Thank you Beta for the speedy edits. I can't be more grateful. Finally, after a month long hiatus, I'm back
So I finished the chapter and now I'm patiently waiting for beta's edits. In the meantime here's a sneak preview of what's to come:
"There's a suspicious looking individual who can't seem to take his eyes off us."
Natasha turned to him and rested her head on his shoulder. Loki stiffened.
"I know." She whispered low enough so only he could hear. "Just act natural."
Her hand tightened around his arm and she sighed loudly. He immediately saw what she had in mind. Loki tried to loosen up, truly he did, but the cinnamon smell of her hair overwhelmed him and flooded his senses. Her hair felt soft against his cheek and he was sorely tempted to lean closer and smell it, yet quickly kicked himself for the stupidity of the thought. This was doing nothing to discourage his attraction. Absolutely nothing. He hoped she didn't hear the rapid beating of his heart.
And yet, despite his stiffness, the position felt strangely comfortable.
Updated at last. Yes, I'm still alive everyone. Only mildly overworked.
Back from writer's block hell. Updated a new chapter ladies and gents. And on a school night too. REBEL!
Actually, I'm just quietly typing on my laptop while my parents patrol the hallway. Sshhh. don't tell.
Now for my happy dance.
I know I haven't updated CS in a while and I apologize for that. With school coming up next week, I have to work overtime and finish all my summer projects that I've pushed aside for far too long. I guess my procrastination has finally come back to bite me in the ass.
I however managed to write a bit of fanfic during work and the next chapter is over half way done. In the meantime, here's a little excerpt that will hopefully ease your blackfrost cravings. Or incite them.
Loki awoke to the sound of the door opening. It opened with a creek; the hallway lights entered the dark caverns of his room, blinding him for a moment. A silhouette stood still, framed by the lights as she approached the bed. He must be going mad for he swore she seemed to walk too…suggestive than deemed appropriate. Long legs—toned yet not overtly muscular—took lithe steps, almost appeared to strut towards him in a sensual manner, like a cat stalking its prey. His eyes trailed her body, the sway of her hips, the flimsy nightgown that revealed generous amounts of skin. Never had Loki seen Natasha like this.
She sat on the bed and pushed him down, causing Loki to wonder how close she had gotten in such a short amount of time. Loki lay, eyes bulging wide as the warrior straddled his hips, her hands still held him firmly down.
"Agent Romanoff, what-"
She hushed him with a finger to his lips. "Do try to cooperate." She said.Suddenly, she smiled—actually smiled—at him. And it was only then that Loki knew this was wrong. Natasha would never smile, let alone for him. He pushed her away, his hands on her shoulders, yet she would not bulge. His brows furrowed; even as a mortal, Loki doubted he was that weak.
"What's wrong, godling? Not the fantasy you planned for?" Her voice, hissing like a viper, said sinisterly. Her eyes turned an unnatural shade of blue.
Her face shifted, gruesomely molding itself like clay. Her hair lengthened, turning to a shade of red that seemed to glow like a halo of fire in the dark. Her nightgown shifted, glowed a bright blue before fading back into a new ensemble: a dress, a mixture of green and gold, clearly his colors.
"Well, Loki, do you prefer this then?" She said patronizingly as she leaned in ever so closer, her breath caressing his face. He stiffened as her hands clawed his chest. "Would you like me to tell you what dark fantasies you've been hiding…or would you like me to show you instead?"
Loki swallowed. This wasn't Romanoff, this was the parasite. He struggled, attempting to bring up his foot to kick it, but the beast held firm, trapping his legs between its own. It then pinned his arms above him, clearly stronger than what he assumed any mortal could ever be. Seeing his futile attempts underneath her, the parasite's lips curved, revealing a pair of canines that are without a doubt not human.
"They say that the darkest aspects of a person is his truest self. Let's test that theory shall we?"
The fic will be updated soon, I just have to dig myself out of this mess. I'm crossing my fingers that it's hopefully this week.

How did the government miscount 1,000 data centers?
Monday - 10/18/2010, 2:55pm EDT
The federal government found it had 1,000 more data centers than previously estimated, Government Computer News reports.
In the past eight months, agencies have been identifying data centers as part of the Federal Data Center Consolidation Iniatiative.
According to a memo from Federal CIO Vivek Kundra, the number of data centers as of July totals 2,094 -- not the original estimate of 1,100.
One explanation for the miscount is agencies use a combination of automated and manual tools for inventory. Doug Duenkel, chief operating officer at Knight Point Systems, told Government Computer News that organizations' automated systems might not have counted servers that cost less than $2,500 or do not have IP addresses.
Another problem was the definition of a data center, which the government has refined since launching FDCCI, according to the article.
Before the added 1,000 centers were taken into account, the consolidation iniatiative already faced several challenges, including the lack of upfront funding, time and resources.
Listen to Monday's Federal Drive about how to consolidate data centers.

Well Helloooo there…
I know I've been M.I.A yet again! This has definitely been the craziest month of my life! I wrote a semester test every single week, had assignments in between, lost 2 of my good friends :-(, had my best friends bridal shower to plan and the wedding to attend.
The month is finally over, I finally have a minute to breathe and I thought I'd come say hi and do a quick look post! I have lots to share, so many pics to edit and stories to tell!
In the mean time here's what I wore on Saturday evening for a date with the Mister.
I got this shirt at Mr Price on Friday! I love the stud detailing. The jeans were stolen from mums closet, they were bootleg jeans but I had them altered and they are now my favourite pair! You'll definitely see them in future look posts.
That's all from me for now! I promise not to neglect my blog too much. Check back in later this week for some more posts from the bridal shower and the three day wedding festivities.
Oh yes its the 2 oceans race this weekend! So nervous as I haven't been training as much as I should be and I was out for a month because I injured my foot. Anyhooo… still looking forward to it, its more about the experience and getting to spend the long weekend in the Mother City. WOOP WOOP!
Follow me on instagram and twitter to keep up to date with all my happenings! @nabeelalatib
Have a fabulous week everyone.

I have always thought Smith makes quality stuff. These goggles are great as they really don't fog up and the lens is good for pretty low light; I use them at night sometimes even. Also, the strap works well around a helmet and has a cool grip strip along the strap. All-around good buy.

Great product. I would buy again, but I don't think I will have to as these were well built goggles. The only con I can think of is that the strap was a little confusing to figure out. All around great goggles, fit well, good ventilation, etc.

Taxing Nannies believe that the nanny payroll service is more than just ensuring our clients pay the correct tax for their nanny – it is about delivering a first class, professional, welcoming service.
The following are examples of how we go that extra mile for our clients:
The introductory telephone call
Many prospective clients telephone our offices before subscribing. Our team, in their professional, friendly manner will always try to give as much information as possible and spend as much time is needed to ensure the caller is armed with the information needed. We are happy to advise about various matters concerning the nanny tax procedure such the tax implications of different salary payments, even before the prospective clients commit to our service. These early conversations can be crucial in ensuring the employer fully understands the responsibilities and financial implications of employing a nanny at the earliest opportunity.
Dedicated HMRC officers
Over the years, we have built up good relationships with HM Revenue & Customs and as a result we have a team of dedicated HMRC officers who deal with all our client's nanny PAYE affairs. This means that we do not have to deal with call centres, and can process and obtain information regarding our client's affairs speedily and efficiently. Where there are issues regarding HMRC procedures, we have access to senior officials who can liaise with HMRC on our behalf to resolve problems on behalf of our clients.
Changes in tax codes
At the beginning of each tax year, and sometimes during the course of the financial year, we receive tax codes for our clients' nannies. Rather than just processing the tax codes, we examine each code, and where it is different to that expected, we contact our clients to ascertain whether there has been any change in the nanny's circumstances. We do this to ensure that our clients, many of whom pay net salaries, do not get burdened with additional nanny PAYE liabilities, such as underpayments of tax relating to prior employments.
Changes in nanny share arrangements
When a nanny, who has more than one job, is leaving one employment, and we act for the other employer, we always contact the nanny and the other employer to ensure that the correct tax code continues to be used. This ensures that our clients pay the correct nanny tax deductions and benefit from any additional personal allowances available.
Termination of employment
When our clients advise us that their nanny is leaving their employment, we enter into discussions with them to ensure that the correct adjustments to the nanny pay are made with regard to redundancy, payments in lieu of notice and any outstanding holiday pay, and that the nanny PAYE deductions are correct. Although we are not employment lawyers, we have the experience to advise on many employment issues and have access to an employment legal service for queries that we are not able to answer ourselves. By discussing matters with our clients, we are often able to prevent situations which could lead to unfair dismissal claims.
Taxing Nannies a Tax UK agency guides you through Nanny payroll service and PAYE service Laws on what to take care on hiring a Nanny.
HMRC have announced that UK tax and NI payments can now be made via the Faster Payment Service so that electronic payments should clear HMRC's account the same day. Previously, payments made electronically did not clear for 3 working days giving rise to potential penalties and interest.
Taxpayers are advised to contact their own bank or building society before making a payment to confirm that their own bank can process Faster Payments, whether there are any daily limits and the cut off time to make a payment to clear that day. It is also important to ensure that the correct bank account details and PAYE collection reference are used. In most cases the bank account details will be Account 12001020, sort code 08-32-10.
Since 6th April 2011 all forms P45 and P46 must be filed electronically with HMRC and should not under any circumstances be sent to the tax office. Up until 5th January 2012, no penalties were issued, but warning letters have been sent to employers who have not filed forms online. Penalties range from £100 upwards where 2 or more paper forms have been filed. We would therefore urge all employers to ensure that their nannies do not send the P46 when they are given it to sign but return it to Taxing Nannies for electronic submission.
New PAYE coding notices are in the process of being sent to employees informing them of new tax codes for 2012/13. The tax codes should include all allowances and relief's that your nanny is entitled to and in most cases should be the single person's allowance which will be 810L from 6th April 2012 where it is the nanny's sole employment. Where there is a nanny share then the code should have been adjusted so that the total allowance for her combined employments totals 810L. Please send all tax code notices to us for checking so that we can ensure that the correct nanny tax is deducted.
If the tax code is not for the full single person's allowance it may be that there are adjustments for underpayments of tax for a previous year which may not be relevant to your employment and this could have a bearing on the nanny PAYE and National Insurance you pay where your nanny receives a net salary.
New regulations were introduced in 2011 which changed the tax code that applies to payments of income to an employee after cessation of employment which have not been included in form P45. The 0T tax code deducts income tax at the basic and higher rates without giving any personal allowance. Therefore it is essential to ensure that all nanny wage payments made on cessation of employment are notified in time so that the normal PAYE tax code can be applied. Cessation payments such as redundancy and ex-gratia payments will normally be exempt from PAYE and National Insurance if less than £30,000.
In the past, employers registering for PAYE schemes themselves could often apply for a simplified PAYE scheme with the result that no penalties were payable for late submission of forms P35. However, from April 2012, these schemes will no longer be available and is therefore even more important that employers contact us as soon as their nannies commence work to ensure that the end of year return can be filed on time.

This appears to be the most solid evidence we have that the license has been picked up. Now, I'm not trying to start any internet rumors, but this may be our first hint of things to come.
In other A Call to Arms news, I can now report that we did not manage to grab the licence we were chasing for the game - Star Wars. We weren't really expecting this one to happen (we made a sideways reference to it in the State of the Mongoose), but we got much further along than we thought we would.
The interesting thing is why our negotiations ended - another company beat us to it. We are not going to reveal who this is (you have heard of them), as that is their fanfare to blow. However, I am sure many will find it intriguing that the licence covers card games, RPGs, and... miniatures. Now, the company concerned is not known for its miniatures lines, which will probably put paid to my dream of 28mm multipart/multipose Stormtroopers.

The football Lions from Byers High School took their spring practice show on the road last Thursday night, suiting up for tilt with the Wildcats of Walnut.
The Lions have some valuable experience to aid them in their early kickoff. They won the District 2-2A crown last season under first year head coach Chris Daniels and then dropped a close game at home (one point) against the East Union Urchins in the playoffs.
Natural attrition accounted for some roster changes but the Lions appeared aggressive and strong in their meeting with the Wildcats.
Montavious Reynolds was leading the offense for the Lions and they had first possession. The handoff only gained modest ground but Reynolds hit Khalyn Baker with a play action pass on the second play and he went in standing up for a clean six. They tried for the two-point conversion but failed. They had struck first, leading 6-0.
Will Quinn was calling signals for the hosts. Byers' defense held tight until the third play when it drew an encroachment call. That gave the Wildcats a third and one and a handoff to Armani Linton gave then a first. Another 8-yard gain by Linton set up the first aerial by Quinn to Butch Wilbanks, who was brought down at the Byers 2. A handoff by the left guard netted six. Walnut came back with the same play for the deuce to go up 8-6.
The Lions went three and out, conceding the fourth. Walnut turned a pair of first downs on the ground. After a carry by Shawn Thornton they ended up on the 9. The third and goal try was snapped directly to the setback (Linton), who went to the three. The Wildcats called time and then sent Linton straight up the middle and he went in standing. They again converted for two and the quarter ended 16-6.
The Lions had to give up the pigskin again and the Wildcats kept the ball on the ground during their entire possession. They gained ground and moved closer to Byers' goal. Wesley Cox took a handoff from about 22 yards out and walked the sideline for another score. They failed to convert, making it 22-6.
The Lions' Davonta Gatewood took off on first play from scrimmage, picking up the first down and placing the marker beyond the 50. He swept right for another first. Reynolds turned a broken play into a golden trek and was finally stopped at the 10 of the Wildcats. Byers went for it on a fourth and goal from the one and met a stubborn Wildcats defense. The ball went over.
The Lions were penalized. The Wildcats were called for holding but gained a first on the next play. The quarter expired. After a play failed, Linton ran for about 63 yards, after breaking a couple of tackles, for another six. An extra-point attempt failed.
The Lions had a couple of more chances. They fumbled twice and lost one of them. They picked up a first inside the red zone but had a pass attempt intercepted. The final score was 28-6.

Notre Dame Football
84 years after its construction and nearly 17 years following the first renovation, the University of Notre Dame announced a $400 million renovation project at Notre Dame Stadium.
To build Notre Dame stadium originally, it cost $750,000. The 1997 renovation cost $53 million.
This time, the stadium will be much more than a football facility. The new stadium will house several University academic departments and a student life center.
There is no official word on whether a jumbotron or field turf will be part of the renovation.
University statement on Stadium Enhancements:
An additional 3,000 to 4,000 fans will cheer on the Fighting Irish once the Campus Crossroads project is complete.
Enhancements to Notre Dame Stadium include outdoor club-level seating within the east and west buildings. Additionally, terraces will adorn each of these buildings, allowing for a view of both campus and the playing field.
Fans will also enjoy modernized concession facilities and improved broadband coverage.
The existing press box will be completely removed and replaced by additional seating. The press box will move to the east side of the stadium. NBC Sports will continue to broadcast home football games from the west side of the stadium, however.
Enhancements to the south side of the stadium include a new scoreboard and a redesigned Frank Leahy Gate, creating a grand entrance to Notre Dame Stadium. No club-level seating is currently planned for the south side of the stadium.

Two Koreas agree on date for family reunionsUpdated: 2014-02-05 16:16:47 KST
The two Koreas agreed on Wednesday to resume the long-suspended reunions for families separated by the Korean War.
The reunions, which would be the first in more than three years, are scheduled from February 20th to the 25th at North Korea's Mt. Kumgang resort.
They will be conducted in two rounds, with 1-hundred family members from South Korea meeting with their loved ones in the first round and another 1-hundred family members from the North taking part in the second round.
A team of South Korean engineers will cross the border on Friday to check on facilities at the Mt. Kumgang resort, and a South Korean delegation will follow five days ahead of the event.
The planned reunions coincide with South Korea's annual joint military exercises with the United States, which run from late February through April.
North Korea had earlier warned that the humanitarian event could not take place during the military drills, and experts had pointed to the possibility of the North making a counterproposal on the reunion dates.
However, Seoul's unification ministry said Pyongyang proposed to hold the reunions on February 20th, just three days later than South Korea's initially proposed timeframe, and that the North did not make a fuss about the upcoming drills during Wednesday's talks.
Regarding North Korea's last-minute cancellation of a round of family reunions last year, the ministry said the two Koreas agreed that such an incident should not happen again.
The two sides also agreed to hold another round of Red Cross talks following the family reunions to discuss a range of humanitarian issues, which includes holding the reunions on a regular basis.

After breaking the down current forwards the Florida Panthers have under contract for the upcoming season, here is a look at the defenseman they already have locked up for the following season.
Not only did the Panthers struggle putting the puck in the net, they had just as hard a problem keeping the puck out of the net, finishing second to last in both goals-per-game and goals-against-per-game.
Due to injuries, the blue line was a revolving door at times and only three Panthers' defenseman played more than 70-games. Brian Campbell was the lone ironman of the group, and he returns to the Panthers in the last year of the big contract he signed as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Only Ryan Suter and Erik Karlsson averaged more time on ice than Campbell, which showed the last part of season when he didn't quite have the step that he usually did. Along with 'Soupy', Ed Jovanovski, Alex Petrovic, and Colby Robak were the only players who played more than a handful of NHL experience.
Petrovic showed some promise until he was injured, but Robak struggled to find his way in the defensive zone. Jovanovski didn't end the season on the best of notes, was ejected for throwing a forearm into an opponent, and now there are questions surrounding whether or not he will even return.
All three players will compete for time on the bottom pairing, and they could very well be the team's fifth, sixth, and seventh defenders going into next season – depending on who they bring in outside of the organization.
The Panthers have three defenseman in the system that along with restricted free agent Erik Gudbranson project to be the future of the blue line, so this year they may go for some stop gaps as oppose to long term fixes.
That means going into free agency, the current players under contract may not be what the Panthers use to build battle plan.

Fender's first foray into hollow-body electric instruments was the highly distinctive Coronado family of guitars and basses, which debuted in early 1966 and, though never achieving significant popularity, remained in the Fender lineup for the rest of that decade.
Today, the Coronado instruments are regarded as an interesting if unsuccessful experiment in Fender history. They were quality instruments aimed at serious players, but they never escaped an air of aberration amid Fender's own established solid-body primacy and the even longer-established identities of other mainly hollow-body makers; namely, Gibson and Gretsch (and, to some extent, Rickenbacker).
And while they were definitely Fender's first attempt to make the hollow-body scene, by no means were they the last. Nonetheless, Coronado instruments routinely command high prices on today's vintage guitar market.
On the face of it, it might seem puzzling. Fender was already well established by the mid 1960s as the world's premier maker of solid-body electric instruments, ruling that province with what was basically impunity. The Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, Jazz Bass, Jazzmaster, Jaguar and other solid-body Fender instruments, along with the company's stable of acclaimed amplifiers, were ubiquitous by then, especially during the surf and instrumental rock boom early in the decade. Why would Fender even attempt to stray from its safe, tried and true identity when others so clearly dominated the hollow-body world?
Well, for one thing, Fender was a scrappy young West Coast outfit; a post-war David to East Coast old-world Goliaths such as Gibson.
For another thing, consider that by the mid 1960s, popular music in general on both sides of the Atlantic was still very much the province of hollow-body guitars and basses. The British Invasion dominated the decade after 1963, and for all it was, one thing it definitely wasn't was especially Fender-y. At all. Apart from a Fender amp or two and maybe a Precision Bass here and there, the British Invasion was very much Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Höfner, Vox and little else. U.S. pop bands like the Byrds that duly took their cues from London and Liverpool followed suit, hitting the stage, studio and small screen with big, hollow guitars. Stax, Motown and country seemed to be the only chart-topping entities that fully embraced solid-body Fender instruments all along.
So when CBS acquired Fender in early 1965—right around the time when a Stratocaster first appeared on a Beatles song ("Ticket to Ride") and just before the Byrds (signed to the CBS-owned Columbia Records label) made their first chart ascent with an electrified cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man"—the giant parent company undoubtedly noted the continuing popularity of hollow-body instruments and the fact that its new acquisition out west didn't make any. Yet.
Because of all this, and practically before the ink was dry on the takeover deal, CBS decided that Fender would enter the world of hollow-body instrument design. Indeed, as noted in The Golden Age of Fender: 1946-1970, it would be "the first time Fender appeared to be chasing after their main rival, Gibson."
There was an inherent danger in this for the usually innovative young company; something that ran counter to Fender's very identity and didn't bode well for the effort ahead. Again, as aptly noted in The Golden Age, "For the first time since 1950, Fender looked like market followers, not market leaders." And as corroborated in author Tony Bacon's 60 Years of Fender, "Clearly, the company was being pushed by new owners CBS to compete with the successful 300-series thinline electrics marketed by the other big name in the guitar market, Gibson."
Fender entrusted the task to Roger Rossmeisl, the noted German-born luthier who, after stints at Gibson and, most notably, Rickenbacker, arrived at Fender in 1962 and spearheaded the company's entrance into the acoustic guitar arena. Fender's hollow-body electrics would come from his facility, the Fender Acoustic Instrument plant on Missile Way in Anaheim, which opened in 1964.
Rossmeisl and his staff set about work on the new series in 1965, and the first public mention of the as-yet unnamed instruments came that November, when they were announced in issue No. 10 of dealer/customer newsletter Fender Facts as "New Fender Thin-Line Electrics."
A name must've been settled on very soon after, however, because Fender's Coronado semi-acoustic electrics debuted in January 1966.
The original Coronado lineup consisted of single- and double-pickup guitars (with and without tremolo), a 12-string that borrowed its "hockey stick" headstock from the Fender Electric XII model introduced several months earlier, and a single-pickup bass guitar. They were elegantly handsome instruments (as Rossmeisl designs always were), with bound double-cutaway bodies, large f holes, specially designed bridge/tailpiece combinations that included a distinctive new tremolo system, and single-coil pickups made by Rowe Industries (maker of popular DeArmond pickups). Despite the somewhat Gibson-like appearance of the instruments, a few signature Fender elements remained, most notably bolt-on necks (typically not seen on semi-acoustic guitars) and a Stratocaster-like headstock shape.
Coronado instruments came in standard Sunburst and Cherry Red finishes; custom colors joined the fold in October 1966. Two-pickup Coronados had block fingerboard inlays; single-pickup Coronados and the Coronado Bass had pearloid dot fingerboard inlays.
They were fairly expensive for Fender instruments, although they were priced just below their closest competitors. A dual-pickup Coronado guitar originally retailed for $319.50—$25 higher than a custom-color Strat, but slightly less than dual-pickup rivals such as the Gibson ES-330 ($325) and the Rickenbacker 330 ($339.50).
It was an interesting situation, if not unfortunate timing. Despite Fender's attempts to get Coronado guitars into as many high-profile hands as possible (as evidenced by the company's publicity materials of the time), they simply didn't catch on even though they were intended as well-made pro-level instruments. As noted in The Golden Age of Fender: 1946-1970, the guitars "failed to gain acceptance with musicians who were set in their ways, expecting hollow-body instruments to feature set (glued-in) necks. Although the standard of workmanship was high, the instruments felt cheap and somewhat flimsy by Fender standards. They were more akin to the Asian copies that were starting to flood the market than the home-grown, workmanlike Fender instruments players were used to."
If you look hard enough, however, you can find some notable Coronado users during the 1960s. Elvis Presley briefly grabbed a dual-pickup Coronado during "There Ain't Nothing Like a Song" from 1968 cinematic romp Speedway. Coronados were also seen in the hands of Dave Davies (Kinks), John Phillips (the Mamas and the Papas), Kenny Rogers (with the First Edition) and bassist Steve Walmsley (Lemon Pipers).
Fender soon added to its Coronado lineup after the first series of instruments. Colorful "Wildwood" finishes had been developed for several Fender acoustic guitar models in 1966; created by injecting colored dye into beech trees before harvesting them and applying the resulting thin veneers to guitar bodies. This method was eventually applied to new Coronado family variations that were introduced in summer 1967—Wildwood versions of the six- and 12-string guitars. A dual-pickup Coronado Bass was also introduced that summer, in standard and Wildwood finishes.
One particularly interesting Coronado version was the result of making lemons into lemonade, so to speak, at the Fender factory. Some Coronados suffered unsightly burn marks during the delicate process of applying body binding. Rather than discard these instrument bodies, Fender craftsmen covered the burn marks created during binding by adopting an unusual new sunburst-style finish in which a grayish-brown white graduated to a darker gray-brown at the edges. This most distinctive look was called an "Antigua" finish, and it salvaged many damaged instruments. Coronado models with Antigua finishes were introduced in October 1967 with a lineup that included the dual-pickup Antigua II guitar, Antigua XII 12-string, and dual-pickup Antigua Bass II.
The Antigua-finish instruments were the final Coronado models. Fender stayed with the instruments throughout the remainder of the 1960s, but eventually acknowledged their lack of popularity and discontinued the Coronado lineup in 1971. The company would not venture into hollow semi-acoustic design territory again until 1976 with the short-lived Starcaster guitar.
Like many of the more esoteric Fender instruments of the 1960s and '70s, Coronado guitars and basses have enjoyed an extremely hip resurgence in modern times; particularly in U.K. alternative rock. Notable players include Blur's Graham Coxon ("She's So High"), Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood (see Yorke play Greenwood's sunburst Coronado Bass on "Harrowdown Hill"), Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno (see live version of "Underdog"), Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan (see a live version of "Stupid Things"), Jimmie Vaughan (see "Jimmy Reed Highway" from a 2007 Austin City Limits performance), Soul Coughing's Mike Doughty (see a live version of "Circles"), Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard (see the "You are a Tourist" video), and the Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor (see the "Bohemian Like You" video). Other Coronado players include Simon Tong (Verve; the Good, the Bad & the Queen), James Huggins (Of Montreal, James Husband), Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Steve Kilbey (the Church) and Grant-Lee Phillips.

I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful trip in Provincetown! Your townhouse is beautiful and a perfect location! You were exactly right we really didn't need the car once we got to your place. We did use it to go to Chatham, a really pretty town too! We did a morning and a sunset whale watch, they were both fabulous! Not to mention, tons of shopping, really neat shops in ptown. We also did the pirate museum, very interesting! I just wished that we had planned more time to see some other things on the Cape. You were right there is a lot to see! We went non stop just about every day! The weather was absolutely perfect. We had a wonderful trip! Your place is really quaint and very comfortable. I loved how it was decorated! We had no real problems with anything. We did get there very late Friday night (we got lost in Boston), so I am glad that the light was on!! Everything about the place was just perfect. Well, I didn't mean to write a book on this, but I wanted you to know that we had a wonderful trip! Thanks again for letting us use your place. Cheers!

I don't believe we'll find another rental opportunity that comes with an option for your 10-month-old to lose the TV remote -- absolutely free of charge.
The place was exactly what everyone needs at Provincetown. Easy access to everything there is to do on Commercial Street, yet set back from the noise. Comfortable beds. A fully-equipped kitchen with every cooking utensil one could possibly need. Enough space to hang out on a rainy day and read the Globe but no more room than you need.
It's a terrific value especially for people who might want to rent off-peak in May or September. Next time we return to the Cape, we won't need to think twice about our destination (Provincetown has it all) or our rental (yours).
Thanks for everything,
Dave and Anna Jones

Your PT abode was the perfect place on a cold and snowy holiday weekend. We arrived during the height of the storm on Friday and found our way through Merchant's Row and upstairs to #3. Since we were the only ones, we trekked through the snow and needless to say, were very happy to arrive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Your home was very pleasant, warm, clean, and central to everything. It was one of the best condos I've stayed in during my many years to Ptown!
I imagine summertime is very pleasant, the deck, the views, things to do. I'd be interested in a week-long rental during the summer. I don't have any dates in mind but if you have any openings, please e-mail me back.
I'd be glad to serve as a reference. I've rented many condominiums and homes in town these many years, mostly on 'the high end' (up to $3000.) because attractiveness/comfort, location and cleanliness is important to us. #3 was priced right for the weekend during the season is the right price considering all of the above PLUS the view!
I'd recommend it, gladly.
Again, thank you for sharing your special place.

About Leslie
Grew up on the Cape, we love Provincetown. My mom was a Provincetown Artist, now deceased. This was for years her 'Plein Air' artist studio - Her influence can be felt in this beautiful place and location.
Leslie purchased this townhome in 1993
Why Leslie chose Provincetown
Sit on the deck overlooking the harbor and you'll understand why we bought this place!
What makes this townhome unique
At this particular part of Ptown, the land gets a little wider so even though we are right in the heart of town the building is set back from the noise of Commercial St. The 4rth of July parade could be going by and you wouldnt know it!
Guestbook comments from the owner
You cant ask for a better spot to watch everything that is going on in the harbor and the beach - and the fireworks from this deck are just spectacular! We loved this place! We've come back many times over the past 20 years and there isnt anything to not like. The breezes are wonderful here when the rest of town seems oppressive because it sits out right over a wharf. The views are unbelievable - honestly it takes your breathe away. Thanks for so many wonderful years - hope to be back next year!
NOTE - Dont know why it says 3 Commercial St - it is actually located within a 1 minute walk to Macmillan Wharf and is in the center of town

Detroit 2011: 2012 BMW 650i Convertible goes topless in the Motor City
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 10th, 2011 at 3:57PM
In addition to the scorched orange 1 Series M Coupe at the BMW booth in Detroit was the new 2012 BMW 650i Convertible. Under the sharply creased (and rather long) hood lies a 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, direct injected V8 that manages to shove out 450 pound-feet of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm. All that grunt will be sent to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW claims the new 6 Series Convertible can drop its flying-buttress-equipped fabric top in exactly 19 seconds an there's also a 10.2-inch screen to control the... Read More

Hi: 15° Lo:11°
By Chris Willmott Thursday 31 January 2013 Updated: 06/02 12:18
ONE of the British victims of the Algerian terrorist attack was a former Solihull worker.
BP engineer Sebastian John, aged 26 and from Nottingham, was among six Britons killed when a gas plant was overrun by heavily armed terrorists in Algeria.
Mr John, who had a seven-month-old boy with wife Nichola, joined the Solihull office of civil engineering firm Arup in 2010 and left the company to join BP last September.
He had been in Algeria for just a week when the fatal attack was carried out.
Arup boss Robert Care said: "Our hearts go out to his family.
"He was a truly outstanding graduate and made a fantastic contribution to numerous projects during his time at Arup.
"He was hugely respected by his colleagues and had a very bright future ahead of him."
Mr John's widow Nicola, added: "Sebastian was the most amazing person.
"He was a fantastic husband, father, son and brother. There won't be a moment that goes by where we won't think of him.
"We are so proud of Sebastian for all he achieved in his life. He was taken away from us too early and in the most tragic circumstances.
"We will always love him, he will be forever in our hearts and eternally missed."

Are you ready to be hacked?
Wednesday, 26 October 2005, 11:09 AM EST
"The Air Force and the Pentagon are extremely attractive targets and so the publicity acts as a draw for hackers," said Frost & Sullivan industry analyst for network security Rob Ayoub. "As far as a lot of smaller companies go, there's always a risk but they have a reasonable amount of security through obscurity."

We no longer link to this site.
I'm one of those people that would have to be on death's door before willingly stepping foot in a hospital. I couldn't even tell you why exactly, but that's the way it is. Now, if real nurses looked and acted like the ones on the Clinic Porn website do, things might be a little different. Hell, I might even become a hypochondriac overnight.
ClinicPorn treats you to 53 scenes featuring dirty doctors and naughty nurses who go way above and beyond their job descriptions to make sure that their patients are well taken care of. Dicks are sucked and pussies are fucked and much of the action takes place in a hospital setting. I should note, however, that it would appear that some of these medical practitioners still make house calls, as some scenes take place in domestic settings.
None of the videos are exclusive, as they all appear to be taken from DVDs like "Evil Nurse" and "Nurses in Training." They come in parts or full lengths and they can be streamed or downloaded. You have the choice between low, medium and high-quality versions, with the latter offering great-quality playback.
Each of the flicks comes with a set of vid caps that you can use to preview the scenes before you download them. Unsurprisingly, they're not very visually appealing, but video captures seldom are, so that isn't shocking by any means. There are no actual photographs on the site.
While the website is far from perfect, the most disappointing thing is the fact that it hasn't updated since November 2009. That doesn't necessarily mean that there will never be anything new added to the site again, but it doesn't bode well for the future either.
If the lack of updates has you feeling down, the cure might be the extras included with a membership. There are additional videos, DVD feeds and lots of bonus sites, including Anal Hell, Busty Solos, New Solos and Simple Fucks. Unfortunately, those of you interested in nothing but medically themed content won't find much to get excited about among the extras.
With some hot scenes and great-quality content, Clinic Porn is worth a look, but its lack of updates and nonexclusive content almost guarantee that you won't hang around for longer than a month. As mentioned above, the extras probably won't do much to keep you around either.

When I am wrong , I will admit it. I was wrong. I used to say there wasn't a driver shortage, because most drivers were not making enough money to justify the hassles of the industry. Now i see that driver paychecks was a lousy way to look at it. Truck usage is the standard by which we should gauge this. By restricting the driver side of the industry with the restart mess and the coming EOBR , the industry will be short drivers , because it will take 1.5 to 2 drivers to accomplish the same amount of freight movement. But that doesn't matter because the execs will still collect the same pay, the shareholders will still be happy it's only a small group that will be affected , the working poor that this industry is creating, the professional driver.

As expected, the New England Patriots have signed seventh-round pick Jeremy Ebert to the practice squad, and they also promoted fullback James Develin to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. Ebert was cut from the team in the offseason after an underwhelming preseason, but he has upside as a project player in the slot. He has very reliable hands and solid speed, and he was the fourth-best receiver in the Big Ten (picked fourth in the draft, fourth in most statistics) while with the Northwestern Wildcats.
Develin, meanwhile, was signed to the Patriots practice squad initially the day after the 53-man roster crackdown on the first day of September. The 24-year-old RB/FB has been a standout during practices and deserves to get the call-up, but it will be interesting to see the role he plays for the Pats. It's a little surprising to see them bring up a back, but Develin has earned it with his play as a practice squad member.
A former defensive lineman for four years while standing out for Brown University in college, Develin is a nice feel-good story and could receive some snaps at fullback. He's a solid blocker.
Ebert was released during the roster crackdown on the 31st of August and is now back on the Pats p-squad after a brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad.

India Masala
Bollywood and culture in an emerging India
Tum Mile: Be prepared to drown in boredom
Cyclone Phyan may have scared the wits out of Mumbaikars but it certainly provided a good enough platform to director Kunal Deshmukh for his film "Tum Mile".
The rain scenes in the film and its reference to a similar tragedy could have hit home if it had been made compellingly. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen.
The film, a love story set in the backdrop of the 2005 Mumbai floods, could have been India's first "disaster" film but settles for a long-drawn-out unoriginal plot with sporadic shots of rain and people shouting "mujhe bachao".
Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan play Akshay and Sanjana, former lovers who meet on a flight to India on July 26, 2005, the day when Mumbai went under water.
Akshay is a brooding artist who also waits tables at a café in Cape Town. Sanjana, on the other hand, is a journalist with a rich father.
Their story is told in flashback, even as both Sanjana and Akshay struggle for survival in the rain.
Unfortunately, it is the flashback which takes up more screen time than the tragedy itself, which would have provided a far more interesting backdrop.
There are hardly any exciting moments and the special effects are tacky. Both Hashmi and Khan aren't able to muster up the intensity required for their roles and don't have much chemistry going.
In the end, this film ends up a soppy love story rather than a racy disaster film. Take a life jacket along to save yourself.
Felt like running out of the theatre during half time, haven't seen a crappier movie than this in recent memory…
Emraan thinks he can act, the plots and scenes are so predictable that Mukesh doesn't know what to grind anymore. In one of the scenes he seems to've taken completely from Titanic, incl the key drop and find of cabin flooding! So pathetic, will never again go for a Mukesh bhatt movie!!!
Hi Shilpa,
I have been a continuous reader of your Blogs which has always have a negative impression about our Bollywood movies.
I would like to know which Bollywood movie, even in the past has interested you so that I may get to know your taste of genre of movies.
Shilpa: At the risk of sounding extremely pretentious, I tend to agree with Gaurav. With the exception of Shawshank Redemption, I don't ever recall your complete approval for any of the movies. I wonder why! Is it because you've a 'classic' movie benchmark from every genre for the films that you review? Here you say this "could've been India's first "disaster" film" – I presume this means that you have some other international 'disaster' film in mind which serves as a benchmark for this film?
Does it always have to be that you need to compare a film with a preceding classic for this to be any good?
Well, to drive my point home – here are some of the headings of your articles – You'll notice that the titles itself of the more recent articles have this negative air as compared to your previous articles which tried to look at the positive side of the films as well
Jail: Avoid this three-hour sentence; Aladin: The magic fades away; London Dreams: Falls short of promise (What promise? Who promised anything?); Main Aur Mrs Khanna: A mindless romance; Blue: No colour this Diwali; Acid Factory: Heartburn best avoided; What's Your Raashee: Celestial Disaster; Dil Bole Hadippa: Clichéd, average fare; Quick Gun Murugan: Mind it!; Sikander: Good idea but not so good execution; Kaminey: The director is the real star; Agyaat: You really don't want to know; Love Aaj Kal: Not very original but it works; Luck: Don't stretch your luck with this one; 'Short Kut' takes the long, boring route; Kambakkht Ishq: You have to see it to believe it; New York: A film that will grow on you; Kal Kissne Dekha: Not really future perfect; Kal Kissne Dekha: Not really future perfect; Videsh: Stark and unsettling; Firaaq: A hard-hitting debut by Nandita Das; Gulaal: Holds up the mirror to an unpleasant reality; "13B": Don't expect to get too scared; Delhi 6: Mehra's mirror has many faces; Billu: Watch it for Irrfan Khan; Dev D: A different take on an age-old hero; Luck By Chance: An insider's look at Bollywood; Chandni Chowk to China: Sticking to the formula; Ghajini: Aamir's most commercial film yet
Hey nice headings. I can actually guess the title of the next review: "Kurbaan – Do not sacrifice your precious time" hehe
Good one.. let me try my hand at this one.. radio – i wish it was actaully on the radio, then I could have switched it off!
pyaar impossible – direction, acting, screenplay also impossible..!!
Here's the next one .. Rocket Singh – Singing into space in a rocket !!
Hey this is fun… Kites: This movie does not fly, and has long tail!
Three idiots – Who'll be the 4th one? The one who watch's it 1st?
or may be – Three Idiots; I am sane enuf, not to watch it!
"2012- The world ends"- They did not know how to end the movie do they really know that the world is going to end.
Gaurav and Meenu,
There's nothing worong in calling a spade a spade. I always find Shilpa's blogs very accurate.
At least she is not trying to surreptiously trying to please some film makers (like many other critics do, who give 4 or 5 star ratings to some of the most idiotic films I've seen based on their reviews)
It's high time Bollywood filmakers stop taking their audiences to be dumb n for granted. Just some slick packaging doesn't always translate into good films. Agreed, we've a rich history of good films and amazing film directots but just compare out 800 movies churned out every every year how many of them make good money. Most of the films tauted as "different" n "mature" come across as nothing more than a sham. Very few film makers, like Vishal Bhardwaj, want to put real effort in scriptwriting n screenplays.
Living in your ivory castles never does anyone any good. Just saying Indan films r as good as Hollywood doesn't make it the truth. True some of them r, but sadly most of them r not.
