Journalists don't always know where their next big story will come from. They may get an idea walking down the street or from a casual conversation on the train. Or they may find that a small feature story is really much more. This was the case for Jenna Cho and Karin Crompton, reporters with New London's The Day. What started out as a holiday feature turned into an in-depth profile of Michael Calo, the founding pastor of Shoreline Church Inc., in Old Lyme, Conn., who also happens to have a larceny conviction.
Cho and Crompton examined detailed financial documents and criminal and employment records, searched databases and spoke to countless acquaintances of Calo to piece together his past, while making sense of his present.
Watchdog New England asked Cho and Crompton to share with New England's journalists their thoughts on maintaining balance in such a complex piece and handling a confrontational interview, as well as talk about the tools on which they relied to build their story.
Q: What tipped you off to this story?
Cho: I'd planned on doing a holiday feature about the church moving into its new home just in time for Christmas. Before I wrote the story, I ran the pastor's name through the Connecticut criminal database system and found the larceny conviction. I called Calo to give him a chance to explain the conviction, but instead, Calo denied it outright; he even provided a fake date of birth.
We decided to hold the story while I checked things out. Once I knew that Calo had lied about the conviction, I knew there was more he wasn't telling me.
Crompton: When Calo first lied to Jenna regarding the larceny, it was a huge red flag to all of us. I offered to help verify other aspects of his life – the church, the businesses, other public records, any interviews we might need to do.
Q: Why did you decide to check Michael Calo's criminal history?
Cho: I'd talked to Calo once before, in 2009, for a story about the church's interest in buying the chapel property [Shoreline Church purchased a chapel from Christ the King Parish]. That interview was conducted over the phone, and I didn't think twice about who Calo might have been before he became a pastor.
I can't pinpoint the exact reason why I decided to check on Calo's background this time around, but I had a gut feeling after my in-person interview with him that something didn't quite add up.
Q: How did you discover that the birth date Calo initially gave you was wrong?
We asked Calo for his date of birth in order to double-check his identity. I wanted to rule out the possibility that there were, as Calo claimed, two Michael P. Calos floating around – one with a criminal record and one without.
The criminal database lists convicted felons' birth month and year, information that matched up with what was on Nexis for a Michael P. Calo at the pastor's current home address. His birth year also matched the age he gave me during the interview.
A breakthrough for us came when I checked Calo's Facebook page. His birthday in the info box said February 11, but a handful of people had posted birthday wishes on his "Wall" on March 8, his actual birthday.
Q: Describe some of the databases/resources on which you relied to uncover the details of his past and current activities?
We started by checking public records for everything we could think of: criminal record, business filings, nonprofit filings, DMV records, marriage and divorce records, any potential state or federal lawsuits (through PACER, which also provides info on bankruptcy filings).
For our online searches, we first went to Nexis (unfortunately we don't have Accurint here) to get the basics for his criminal record and other information like past addresses and his correct birth date.
We searched the Connecticut Secretary of the State's online database for business filings (we later obtained the church's incorporation papers by calling the Secretary of the State's office); and Guidestar, for nonprofit reporting.
We also did a basic Google search, which is where we discovered his newsletter. [Calo had been publishing financial advice newsletters that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission called "highly misleading" and ordered him to stop.]We later verified the authenticity of the federal order to stop publishing the newsletters with federal regulation agencies.
We checked Calo's personal Facebook page and the Facebook page of the church, Twitter and the Shoreline Church website.
We went to several town halls to check on mortgage filings and building permits. That's where we found information on the lien filed against his house and also verified that a complainant's daughter had been involved in a short sale.
We did a background check on Calo through the Connecticut state police to see if he'd been convicted of any other crimes in Connecticut and outside the state (he hadn't). We made phone calls to various agencies both in Connecticut and around the country to get our hands on records such as police incident reports; DMV records; the arrest warrant; and mug shot from the larceny conviction.
As a side note, the mug shot was one of the first ways we verified that it was, indeed, the same Michael P. Calo who had the criminal record and not a cousin, as he had claimed.
By then, we had a lot of names of people Calo had been in business with, people who had complained to police and people who attended the church. Then it became a matter of reaching out to some of those people.
Q: What would you pinpoint as one of the significant stumbling blocks in reporting this story?
Cho: The FOIA can be a reporter's best friend, and it served us well for this story. We learned early on, though, to cut our losses when we couldn't find old documents because they'd been destroyed. Courts sadly don't hold onto lawsuits forever, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) destroys tax returns after seven years.
Obtaining documents or even getting any straight answers from the IRS was a bit tricky. I had some trouble getting hold of an IRS representative on the phone, though I did get some help via e-mail. Still, answers to what I thought were pretty simple questions – for instance, do churches have to file 990 forms the way other nonprofits do? – were hard to come by.
Guidestar was a helpful source, but we all initially had trouble believing that churches didn't have to file any financial disclosures with the IRS.
The turnaround time for any IRS response to a request for documents also appeared to be quite lengthy – up to two months.
I pored over the IRS' tax guide for churches and read through the IRS' FOI guidelines before filing three separate requests to three separate IRS addresses and fax numbers.
I had the best luck obtaining documents by filling out the IRS Form 4506-A, called the "Request for Public Inspection or Copy of Exempt or Political Organization IRS Form." The turnaround time was also a lot faster than I'd anticipated – I got the documents in the mail in about a week and a half.
I came up empty on my request for the church's 990 forms, and eventually learned tax-exempt churches aren't required to file.
What we did get was Shoreline Church's application to become a tax-exempt entity, which included information about the church's organizational structure that helped us in our reporting even if the details didn't end up making it in the story.
Q: What did you do to maintain balance in the story? How did you go about choosing what of his past to include and to omit?
Very early on, we had a "what if" scenario – what if Calo really did find God and turn his life around? We asked that question every day and used that to guide our reporting and, ultimately, the direction of the story. That meant that we didn't wind up spending as much time in his past as we could have; there was a huge stack of information we didn't have time to sort through and verify, mainly because it wasn't going to make it into the story.
Therefore, we stuck with the two convictions: the larceny conviction and the cease-and-desist on the fraudulent newsletters. The other items in his past were matters of business deals gone bad and people feeling that Calo was scamming them – but none of which resulted in arrests or official police complaints (that we found).
The two convictions were also closest in time to his starting the church: he founded Shoreline Church just a year after the larceny conviction. Even though we didn't have the space to write about the larceny in detail, we could see that it matched his pattern: every time he got in hot water somewhere, he moved on to something, or someplace, else.
We also focused on scrutinizing what, if anything, had happened in the time since he started the church. The two complaints, combined with police expressing their concern in reports (but unable to make an arrest) and a debt collection lawsuit, made it appear to us that the pattern could be continuing.
We also gave Calo ample opportunity to not only defend himself but to demonstrate how things have changed. He refused to disclose any information about finances and how the church is run and continued to lie to us. He left us with no way to disprove anything the complainants were saying about him, or to demonstrate that he had changed his ways.
Q: What are your tips for handling the uncooperative interview subject(s)?
If they are uncooperative as in combative (versus someone who's afraid to talk) – stay calm, but do not allow them to take control of the interview.
We spent time coming up with and prioritizing our questions beforehand, at the office. We talked about the questions with each other and with the editors, and we also discussed approach. We were methodical about it, and that prep work helped us to maintain control when things got a little hairy during the interview. We weren't winging it and therefore, we weren't caught off guard.
Calo's wife, Meredith, was extremely confrontational and accusatory throughout the interview. She accused us of not being right with the Lord, asked whether we attended church, asked us whether we'd want the most painful part of our past dredged up for the public to read about, etcetera. It would have been easy to take the bait and wind up in a back-and-forth with her that was completely off-topic. Instead, we let her talk, addressed her briefly and succinctly, and returned to the questions for Calo.
On the question about whether we attended church, for example, we answered that it was irrelevant. On the painful past, we told her that we would want the chance to tell our side and explain, and pointed out to her that it was of course relevant to ask a person in the position of power with a conviction for financial malfeasance to show us their books and get specific about how they handle finances now.
We knew our chances of getting through the entire interview were slim and we wanted to make sure to get the key questions in. Also, this was our interview, not hers. It wasn't meant as a conversational back-and-forth like you might have in other interviews. We had very serious charges that we needed Calo to address and we needed to stay on track.
It was a time-management thing as much as a way to stay on topic.
Calo was completely cooperative in the beginning. He was really smooth and had obviously thought beforehand about how he was going to answer to the larceny and the newsletter. He acted like it was no big deal and tried to calm down his wife, who seemed surprised by the questions.
The moment we asked a question he was unprepared for, however, was when the interview fell apart. That's when Calo became just as agitated as his wife. They were both raising their voices by then and threatened to sue us.
When they threatened to sue, we told them the interview was over. It's standard practice here to let a person know that we can't engage with them anymore if they plan to take us to court.
Q: Has there been any reaction since the story ran? From the church's congregation or otherwise?
The story online saw a lot of comments, but we've had little in terms of e-mails or other contact, which surprised us. We thought folks would either come out of the woodwork to tell us their own story or that members of the congregation would rush to Calo's defense in the comments, letters to the editor, etc. That was most surprising to us: that the congregation didn't mount a public outcry.
A week after the story ran, Calo dedicated his entire sermon (he uploads his sermons as audio files to the church's website) to reacting to our story. He spoke in loose terms about "the enemy" and how others were trying to portray the church members as fools but that only they (and God) knew the truth.

Fans of Batman: Arkham Asylum will be disappointed to hear that the PC version of the sequel, Arkham City has been delayed. The console versions will see a US launch on October 18, but PC users will have to wait to an undefined day in November. Boo. Batman: Arkham City picks up roughly one year after the events of Arkham Asylum and introduces some classic villains such as Catwoman and Mr Freeze (hopefully there's a voice over from Arnold).
Arkham City is built on Unreal Engine 3 and has support for both PhysX and 3D Vision. Gameplay is set in the same open-world, stealth action elements as well as throwing in new weapons and improving on the old ones.

While he's yet to make a big, summer tentpole, if and when he does, there few filmmakers who have such a keen grasp on current, cutting edge technology than David Fincher. Whether aging Brad Pitt backwards, virtually creating double Armie Hammers, or recreating the 1970s San Francisco skyline, Fincher has long turned to the latest in digital wizardry to help accomplish his cinematic visions. And while on paper his currently shooting "Gone Girl" looks like a straight-ahead thriller, Fincher is using the shoot to again push things forward.
In an interview with Southeast Missourian, the director revealed he was was using the latest and greatest, RED digital cameras. "We are working with at least a six-pack of the new Dragon cameras that they've built. For a digital camera, they see sunlight really well. They're the next evolution of the Epic," he shared. So, what's the big deal with these cameras?
Well, simply put, it's a 6K camera, which according to RED's own site, offers up 9 times more resolution than your standard HD and can capture images in natural light better than anything before. Basically, it will melt your face off, though you likely won't see the finished film projected at 6K. Regardless, it will allow Fincher to create the most spectacular imagery possible in the digital moviemaking world.
In another interesting tidbit from the interview, when asked about how his favorite director of all time is, Fincher couldn't just pick one. "I don't know. It's like being asked what your favorite movie is and I have about 300 of those. Maybe George Roy Hill up until 'The World According to Garp.' There was a point in time when Francis Coppola was like Ted Williams," he said. "He had 'The Godfather,' 'The Conversation,' 'The Godfather: Part II' and 'Apocalypse Now' in a row. Spielberg had a run up until 'E.T.' that was astounding with five or six classics. So, I don't know. It's kind of like being asked, 'What's your favorite meal?' "
Well, until we see what meal Fincher will serve us next year with "Gone Girl," here is a sizzle reel of RED Dragon footage shot by DP Mark Toia, via No Film School, and he enthusiastically claims this is the best digital camera to come along, ever.

Aggrieved telecom companies Uninor and Sistema Shyam Teleservices Ltd (SSTL) have approached the Supreme Court seeking re-examination of its verdict that cancelled their 2G licenses allocated during the tenure of former telecom minister A Raja.
SSTL, a joint venture of Russias telecom giant Sistema and Indias Shyam Telelink, filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court seeking a re-examination of the February 2 verdict.
SSTL has consistently maintained that being a pure play CDMA operator, its legal case is significantly different compared to other mobile operators. There is no finding or suggestion by the CAG report that CDMA spectrum was equally or anywhere near in demand as GSM back in 2008, the joint venture of Russias telecom giant Sistema and Indias Shyam Telelink said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Uninor has filed an application in the Supreme Court on the grounds that Trais proposals on spectrum auctions were not in line with court orders. The telecom regulator has suggested a 10 fold hike in the reserve price for 2G spectrum at a base price of Rs 3,622 crore for one megahertz (MHz) for pan-India spectrum along with stiff rollout obligations.
While the Supreme Court enabled new operators to continue after procuring fresh licenses and spectrum through auctions, the recommendations are asking for all but one new operator to be evicted, the company said in a statement, adding that it hopes the Supreme Court would ensure that its orders are fully and accurately complied with.
Uninor, which is a joint venture controlled by Norwegian telecom giant Telenor has threatened to exit business from the country if Trais proposals are accepted.

Not producing enough milk
I have started to bottle feed my 11 week old son during the day and I'm pumping. Then at night I breastfeed him when he wakes up every 4 hours. However, I have noticed the past couple of days that my milk supply has lowered. I'm starting to run out of frozen breast milk, should I start supplementing formula?

More than likely your milk supply dropped because you switched to pumping. If possible strictly breastfeed. If you have to pump, try using herbs to increase your milk supply. Try something from http://www.favorsandflavors.net it has helped me a lot. I would also call the hospital where I delivered and speak to the lactation consultant. She will be a big help to you!posted 08/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Why do you think your supply is down? Are you pumping because you work or because you feel like it? The only reliable measures are diaper output and weight gain, so if those are still good, your supply is fine. However, long term pumping, especially if you're not using a hospital-grade rental pump, is known to lower supply, as is regularly giving baby more than you pump, which it sounds like you are if your freezer stash is going down. Going back to nursing and doing it more often would be preferable over formula if you can. If not, can you add extra pumping sessions to make up the short fall? Also, are you positive he needs more as opposed to having sucking needs or emotional needs that can be met with a paci or extra holding as opposed to more milk? Bottom line is that the baby has to be fed, so if you can't feed enough breastmilk, then yes, you need to use formula. But I would consider ways to get more milk first, since using formula might continue to lower your supply.posted 08/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

There is a tendency in India to view pure business decisions taken by companies through the prism of national interest. This magnifies the scale of the development but can also at times blur the picture. That's what played out after Unilever announced early last week its Rs 29,000 crore voluntary open offer to raise its shareholding — from 52% to 75% — in Hindustan Unilever (HUL).
The regret and acclaim that followed have both taken broad national views. Regret because Unilever's move has been seen as possible first act that will end with the national capital markets worse off than before. HUL, India's best-loved MNC, will delist, other MNCs might follow, Indian investors will have fewer high-quality and affordable scrips to choose from. Those happy have seen Unilever's open offer as a big sign of foreign investor faith in India. Neither national view is without merit. But both miss the main point. First, let's look at the "regret side".

The new president of the Residential Student Government (RSG) has a message for the 7,000 students the organization represents: learn to become leaders.
"Leadership is something that we are really focusing on this year," said Sera Choi, who was elected in May and oversees the RSG nine-member executive board as well as the building government presidents. "We had our first leadership assembly in September, and that is completely new this year."
Choi, a USC Dornsife junior majoring in neuroscience, said she wants RSG to become a strong student voice.
"We don't want to just have the title of representing students on campus," Choi said. "We want to empower residents to have their best experience at USC."
Choi said RSG accomplishes this through six boards that put on programs throughout the year that are "not only social, but cultural, educational and community outreach-related."
In addition to her emphasis on leadership, Choi's tenure began with a name change for the 25-year-old organization that was previously known as University Residential Student Community (URSC).
Choi got involved with RSG as a freshman because she was interested in leadership opportunities and enjoys a challenge. She liked the fact that she could immediately take on a leadership role as a freshman when she was elected funding chair.
"Sera has shown great strength, governance and compassion so far as the RSG president," said Viktor Kerney, USC Office for Residential Education's assistant director for development and leadership, and faculty adviser for RSG. "She will move the organization forward."
Choi also believes her leadership experience will translate well into her goal of pursuing a career in the medical field.
"I have learned skills in RSG that will later help me as a physician: communication, interacting with people in different ways and being a representative of people's concerns and acting on them," Choi said. "That is what physicians do."
Choi is equally passionate about her work with USC Dornsife's Trojan Health Volunteers program, part of the Joint Educational Project, her clinical care externship at St. Francis Medical Center, and her research assistantship at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
"I cannot imagine myself anywhere else but at USC," said Choi. "We have a very goal-oriented and focused population of students, and it is helping me become a better individual and leader."

Information classification: Confidentiality
Information classification and protection requirements
All members of the University community have a responsibility to protect University information. University information is classified into one of three levels based on its sensitivity: confidential, official use only and public.
Information is typically aggregated in databases, tables, or files for storage. Typically, highly sensitive data elements are aggregated with less sensitive data elements.

'The Normal Heart,' playwright/activist Larry Kramer's landmark 1985 play about the early days of the AIDS epidemic, is currently enjoying a Tony-nominated revival on Broadway. Also being revived: the blame war between Kramer and Barbra Streisand over why, to this day, 'The Normal Heart' hasn't made it to the silver screen.
Streisand purchased the film rights not long after the play opened off Broadway in 1985. She had planned to direct and co-star as a sympathetic doctor, but a decade later the film still hadn't been made and the rights reverted to Kramer. Last summer, it was announced that the film would finally be made, with Ryan Murphy (the 'Glee' creator and director of 'Eat Pray Love') directing and Mark Ruffalo starring, but that version is apparently being set aside as well.
Streisand and Kramer's war of words heated up this weekend, in a he-said, she-said article on Entertainment Weekly's Inside Movies blog over whose fault it was that the movie never got made. The war continues with a statement Streisand issued Monday, disputing Kramer's allegations. The outspoken Kramer will likely issue a response of his own, meaning that this quarter-century-old dispute between two of the entertainment world's most prominent gay rights activists won't die down any time soon.
The war was really revived last August, however, after Streisand praised the U.S. District Court ruling that declared California's Proposition 8, which forbids gay marriage, to be unconstitutional. Kramer's response was to call the singer-actress a "hypocrite," adding, "If she had made my play about AIDS, 'The Normal Heart,' in 1986, when she first acquired the rights, only to sit on them for a full ten years without filming it, she could have done something for gay rights when we were really in the sewer of death. But no, she chose to go off and make such vitally important and classic movies as 'Nuts' and 'The Mirror Has Two Faces.'" He concluded that, with the Murphy/Ruffalo version in development, he hoped it would turn out "that the best thing that happened for 'The Normal Heart' is that Barbra Streisand didn't make it."
Streisand declined to respond at the time. Talking this month to EW about Kramer, however, she called him "brilliant, courageous, stubborn and self-destructive." She said Kramer refused to allow changes to the screenplay that would have made it more cinematic. "I was using the best of [the play]. But there are certain things you do for film," she told EW. She added that that the studios were generally unwilling to make a movie about AIDS (this was during the years before the release of 1993's 'Philadelphia,' the first mainstream Hollywood film about AIDS, which made the subject less risky for the major studios), so she shopped the project to HBO. She said that the cable channel offered Kramer $250,000 for the TV rights, but that Kramer was unwilling to accept less than $1 million.
For his part, Kramer said Streisand tried to have the screenplay rewritten to make the doctor the primary character, at the expense of the gay characters, including the protagonist, Ned Weeks (a character based on Kramer himself). "She cut Ned's part so much that when she offered the movie to a major star who had played the part on stage, he said, 'I can't play this. The character has no motivation anymore,'" Kramer told EW. He also said he never heard about the HBO offer and noted again that Streisand repeatedly set aside 'The Normal Heart' to star in or direct other movies.
In her response on Monday, Streisand pointed out that two of those projects she produced ('Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story' and 'What Makes a Family?') were both pro-gay rights stories. Of Kramer's charge that she tried to rewrite the screenplay to make her character the protagonist, she said, "He is rewriting history. My objective was not to be in this movie. I only wanted to direct it and I was willing to play the doctor only if that would help get it made." She also said that, after the rights reverted to Kramer in 1996, she still tried to get the movie made, approaching such stars as Ruffalo, Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper in the hope that, with A-listers on board, Kramer would agree to make the film. "I think it's unfair to blame me for the movie not getting made," she said. "After all, Larry has had the rights for the last 15 years and he couldn't get it made, either."
At least Kramer has walked back somewhat on his charge that Streisand is a hypocrite on gay rights. "She's a mighty force, and I certainly agree she has done a good deal for the gay world," Kramer told EW. "She just wasn't going to make this movie right."
Will Murphy make it right? As of last month, it's not clear whether he will make it at all. Two weeks ago, Ruffalo told MTV's Movies Blog that he's going to be busy shooting 'The Avengers' for the next several months (he's playing Bruce Banner, a.k.a. the Incredible Hulk), so he won't be available to shoot 'The Normal Heart' anytime soon. "I don't know if that's going to happen this year," the actor said. "That's kind of been put on the backburner."
Uh oh. Looks like Ruffalo and Murphy might be the next people in line for a verbal attack by Larry Kramer.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
Ace Tennis for the iPhone is still one of my favorite tennis games on the iPhone. The controls feel right and it definitely one of the best tennis experiences on the platform. Now Ace Tennis 2010 HD Online has been released and is basically a reboot of the iPhone version with much better graphics. The game is extremely similar to the older one.
Players can still play through the single player game and through a tournament or they can hop online to play against other iPad users. The game played smooth and controlled perfectly although the game's most glaring feature came up immediately. The old game struggled with online matchmaking and was plagued by immense lag. The iPad seems to have inherited that same issue and made the online portion of the game completely unplayable. My character would move perfectly smooth but after a serve, I would watch my opponent miss the ball and a second later it would come shooting back at my face. It was completely unpredictable and ruined the experience for me.
Overall, the game is good, but in order to be something I recommend, the multiplayer has to take it up a few notches. I suggest passing on this one.

So I did my first over nite trip on my bike. I rode from my place to Bagby Hot springs in Mt. Hood National forest. Which is 65 miles with a only one hill, which starts in at mile 25, and ends at mile 65.
First: I did take pics, but still need to crop and stuff, which I never do.
Second:The first day ride was great. The am started with a cloud cover and cooler than expected temps. Not a lot of traffic, and no real big hang ups. I did find a utility road that was open to the public that offered some nice riding, it also detoured a 7% 2 mile climb.
I did not drink as much as I would have liked, I also forgot to eat lunch. It also took much longer than I had thought. I got through it and had a great scenic adventure on my bike. Which is what I was hoping for. The only regret was the place I choose to sleep, a group of youngins shows up with a radio and party all night. So sleep was uneasy, and I was too tried to move. Should have thunk since it is Bagby in the summer on a Friday night.
Whereas, the morning of the second broke with a clear blue sky and a splitting ache in the neck from sleep with my camera bag as a pillow. Was packed, with a full belly and on the road by7:30am. O how my legs where sore. I figured it would be all down hill, and parts where, into a frigging gusty wind that robbed me of the down hill. At one point I was peddling down hill and my computer showed I was going 12 mph. At another point I decided to coast a hill, and it brought me to a dead stop.
I stopped for a snack and than went on. Finally the lack of sleep, wind, and being tried totaled a call to the wife at the bottom of the Mt. for a ride home. Only did 35 of the 65 on the second day. This is my first DNF on any ride and it felt so good I was guilty.
Did see the ciro for the kink in the neck so time to do it all again. I processed the ride and am giving it another shot next month with some changes.
So all in all it was a great and sore weekend
Here are the pictures, well at least the ones that turned out.

The apartment is on the top floor and is bright and sunny. This is in a great location to visit Budapest's city center attractions on foot and is also close to Budapest's underground and trams. The accommodation is beside the River Danube and just 50m away from Budapest's famous pedestrianized Vaci Utca. The Central Market Hall, National Museum, Gellert Thermal Spa and other attractions are all just short walks away
The district is the biggest terrace restaurant/bar/cafe area of the city. Between the Kalvin Ter square and the Bakats Ter square, the Raday utca is mostly pedestrian and has many good quality shops and galleries. The bible museum and the Holocaust museums are also close by. The excellent main city fresh food market is the largest indoor food market in Hungary, a "must visit" for most tourists. For nightclub fans the popular large club School Club can be found close to the market.

schöne kleine Wohnung mit Küche - sehr warm - 4/5*
This apartment was very nice, clean and in a great location! It is perfect for a couple. Everything you need is within walking distance. Many cafés and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Nice little supermarket across the street. We sure had a great time in Budapest!
A friend and I lived there from Tuesday to Sunday in august. Soon after booking we got an message from the owner with all the necessaries. At our arrival, we were meet by at very friendly neighbour, mark, who let us In, told us about the city, and showed us the apartment. Its very central and everything is close by with the easy accessible tram. We can only recommend to stay here! :)
We had a great time in Budapest, with a one-year old baby, and this apartment on the Pest side of the Danube river was a good base for exploring the city. A quiet and "baby-friendly" area, still within walking distance to the city centre, or a few stops by the tram.
The apartment is neat and nice, and the host Flora - after responding quickly to our messages prior to arrival - provided us with a baby cot, a stroller and a baby chair. There is only one bedroom/living room, but we had our baby sleeping in the cot in the kitchen, which worked out fine.
There is a 24/7-open supermarket just across the road, and a number of good cafees and take-away outlets in the area. Only a 2-3 minutes walk to tramlines 2, 4 and 6 which brings you to the Pest city centre and shopping area, Nyugati train station (one stop only), Octagon or across to the Buda side. The apartment is only one block away from the river (but no view), and only 5-10 minutes walk across to the Margaret Island which was beautiful for jogging or a walk.
There was a good wi-fi internet connection and with a baby it was also practical with a washing machine and a dishwasher. The bathroom is small (but nice!). The apartment is on the first floor (one stair up, but there is also an elevator).
All in all, a practical, quiet and nice place to stay in Budapest for a small family of 3 like us, a couple or a few friends!
We rented Danube Rose Square Apartment. It was nice and close to all the sightseeing we wanted to enjoy. We had a good time in Budapest.

UK Law
Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
*Tom Graham* I have taken a car insurance policy on 04/04/13 from a broker, premium was £6,000. I paid deposit of £1,489, on the 7/05 direct debit was taken from my account from a finance company of £524 and on 4/6/13 £517. The finance company has not sent me any finance agreement or any direct debt guarantee. on the 24/June I sent a letter to the broker saying please cancel my insurance with effect from 1/7/13 any refund me the deposit after deducting cancellation fees ( I was told over the phone when I took the policy that in case of cancellation 30% of the deposit will be deducted) in July I called them to ask when I will get the refund, they said your insurance still ongoing, so they said you have to put it in writing again, I forwarded a copy of the cancellation notice again by email, and made me sign a document saying that I no longer have the certificate of insurance before they cancelled it, eventually was cancelled on 27/7/13.
Now they are saying because you cancelled you have to pay £3500, total what I paid since I took the policy is £1489 ( deposit )+ 2 direct debts of £1,041, total ( £2,530 ) now they asking me for £970
As they have breached the Verbal agreement of the cancellation fees I have called my bank and told them I am disputing those 2 direct debts, they said we will refund the money within 1 working day and will sort it out with finance company.
Please note I have not signed any agreements or anything, what does the law says? Did I commit any offence?

It is indeed a great start, looking forward to seeing it develop.
This is my current project I'm working on for my next D&D game. A Mediterranean-style bit of land that's roughly around the equator of the world. This is a total departure of how I usually make maps. I decided to give some of the tutorials here a try. I went with -Saderan-a-tutorial]Tear's excellent tutorial. I have to say that the techniques he use are better than my old ones, though I think I'm going to put my own spin on the process by the time I'm done.
This is still a bit rough around the edges. I have the basic geography down but I really need to fine tune things. I am pretty happy with the mountains, though. I think I'm going to replace some of the standard filters with more of my custom ones to get better textures and a bit more variation. But it's a great start, I think.
It is indeed a great start, looking forward to seeing it develop.

Okay, is it just me, or does the color on the map look off to folks? I feel like it should be a bit darker.
looking good so far SvD! as for the colors i guess in the end its a matter of taste and style. (Tear is a master in coloring maps in a very subtle way). I'm not sure what would look best, maybe you can try out some versions with more/less saturation and/or contrast and/or brightness so we can see how they look? cheers

Looks like a great start I agree color is a bit off but it is a really good base.
Looking nice. I have to point out that your rivers need a bit of TLC (there's a lake that drains to the sea through three separate rivers, and that never happens). I like the overall look. I'm not sure the colours need too much adjustment, but you certainly could go darker. At the moment my two comments would be that the image has an overall speckle to it that's a bit distracting. Also, your forests are very diffuse rather than clumping into copses and concentrated areas.
I love the mountains - they're coming along really well.
Okay, so I did some more tweaking and I think I'm a lot happier with things. I took out the one separate river leading out from the lake, though I'm leaving the other two (who do branch shortly after they exit the lake) for campaign purposes. I changed up the color scheme a bit, as this is supposed to be fairly Mediterranean in clime and the browns seemed to work better for me. I'm pretty happy with this so far, but I'd like to push it a bit further if people have more suggestions or comments.
Not sure how I missed this earlier, it's looking pretty nifty. I like that dragon shaped hill in the northeast, interesting touch And you did a fabulous job of the seas near the coasts, nice work there.
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I'm still not happy with the way the mountains look, but now I think I have it narrowed down to some sort of texture. I'm also going to take out one or two of the smaller islands, I think, as it looks a bit crowded.

The togetherness of the runners and the effort put in by everyone was fantastic. Maybe not next year but definately do it again. I'd recommend this for anyone Date of review: October 5, 2006
In short: Hot day nice atmosphereIn full: Was not expecting this to have as many hills as it had tough course (yet enjoyable). Crowds were supportiveDate of review: September 11, 2006

A Must Read - Share
One of Microsoft's top Windows executives this week said the company remains bullish about Windows RT and has no intention of dumping the limited-feature, touch-enabled tablet operating system. Analysts accepted that at face value, but they remain suspicious of Windows RT's chances unless Microsoft makes dramatic changes, including dropping the price of the licenses it sells to OEMs.

When playing Minesweeper you are presented with a mine field, and your objective is to locate all the mines as quickly as possible. To do this, you uncover the squares on the game board that do not contain mines, and you mark the squares that do contain mines. The trick is determining which squares are which.
If you uncover all the squares without mines, you win; if you uncover a mine instead of marking it, you lose the game. The faster you play, the lower your score. You can use the counters at the top of the playing area to keep track of your progress.
The counter in the upper-right corner of the playing area is a timer, which displays your playing time in seconds. The timer does not begin counting until you select a square.
The counter in the upper-left corner of the playing area initially indicates the number of mines hidden in the mine field. Every time you mark a square as a mine, this number decreases by one, even if you incorrectly mark a square.
The object of Minesweeper is to correctly mark all mines as quickly as possible without uncovering one. The following section explains how to play the game.
You can also "clear around" an uncovered number square whose mine has already been marked.
For example, two squares labeled 1 may both be touching a marked square. If you clear around the uncovered squares, you may uncover additional squares that do not contain mines. If you clear around a square whose mine is already marked, the surrounding numbered squares are uncovered.
Minesweeper scoring is simple. The counter in the upper-right corner of the playing area indicates your playing time. The faster you find all the mines, the better your score.
Once you have marked at least one square as a mine, you may be able to safely uncover more squares by "clearing around" them.

When and how often should I get a pap smear?
John W. Martin III, MD, is medical director of the Women's Center at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. His office can be reached at (602) 839-4351.
Question: When and how often should I get a pap smear?
Answer: Mounting evidence suggests overutilization of pap smear and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing. Therefore, an advisory panel of separate national societies representing pathologists, cancer specialists, gynecologists and federal preventive health professionals conducted a thorough review of health data, much of which was provided by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, to establish new recommendations about who should receive pap and/or HPV tests and the frequency of such tests. Following is an overview of the new recommendations to help determine when and what testing is right for you.
- Females younger than 21 should not receive a pap or HPV test, regardless of sexual initiation.
- Women ages 21 to 29 should receive a pap without an HPV test every three years as long as test results remain negative. If pap results report "Atypical Squamous Cells of Unknown Significance" (ASCUS), then follow-up HPV testing should be performed.
- Those between 30 and 65 are encouraged to receive both tests every five years, though a pap alone once every three years is acceptable if results remain negative.
Screening should cease once a woman reaches 66, assuming she has not been treated for moderate dysplasia (abnormal cells on the cervix) or greater in the previous 20 years, and her last two to three screenings were negative. There is no need to resume pap and HPV testing, even if a new sexual partner is introduced.
Regardless of age or the introduction of a new partner, women who had a hysterectomy do not need pap or HPV testing. The only exception is women who had previously been treated for moderate dysplasia or greater.
These guidelines hold true for women who have been vaccinated against HPV. The only exceptions are women considered high risk, including those with a history of cervical cancer, in utero exposure to the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) that was once used to prevent pregnancy complications, a compromised immune system due to conditions such as HIV, transplant recipients, or those with other high risk suspicions.
While annual pap and HPV testing is not needed, it is imperative that all women receive an annual female wellness exam. This exam, which is independent of pap and HPV testing, is essential to evaluating health of the breasts, vagina, uterus, ovaries and cervix. It also assesses urinary and bowel control and the presence of sexually transmitted infections, while providing an opportunity for contraception and pre-pregnancy counseling.

Guest Post: Rising Inequality and Poverty: Can They Be Fixed?
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
Conventional Left-Right ideologies shed little light on the structural causes of inequality or systemic solutions to poverty.
"For most of history, the prime source of human insecurity was nature. In such societies, as Marx noted, the economic system was oriented toward stability -- and stagnancy. Capitalist societies, by contrast, have been oriented toward innovation and dynamism, to the creation of new knowledge, new products, and new modes of production and distribution. All of this has shifted the locus of insecurity from nature to the economy."
"As the economist Friedrich Hayek pointed out half a century ago in The Constitution of Liberty, the main impediment to true equality of opportunity is that there is no substitute for intelligent parents or for an emotionally and culturally nurturing family. In the words of a recent study by the economists Pedro Carneiro and James Heckman, "Differences in levels of cognitive and noncognitive skills by family income and family background emerge early and persist. If anything, schooling widens these early differences."

By: Bush ties big victory for Chaim Leibovitz and Gertler
Cutting-edge diplomacy
President Joseph Kabila's planned meeting with United States President George Bush on 5 November is a personal triumph for Israeli diamond trader and Congo's ambassador at large Dan Gertler who, along with his business partner Chaim Leibovitz, has been cultivating White House contacts for several months.
Arrangements for the Kabila visit follow closed door meetings between Gertler, Leibovitz and US National Security Council Director for Africa, Jendayi Frazer, this year. These private meetings irritated Frazer's colleagues in the State Department (sometimes at odds with the White House-based NSC) who questioned their utility.

Emaxon Finance International Inc. and MIBA
43. A secret agreement between state diamond company Minière de Bakwanga (MIBA) and Emaxon (an entity controlled by Israeli diamond traders Chaim Leibovitz and Dan Gertler) was at the centre of the first major dispute in the power-sharing government over mining revenues. The existence and terms of the agreement between Emaxon and MIBA, dated 13 April 2003, were kept secret by leading officials of the former DRC government - even from the new Minister of Mines Eugene Diomi Ndongala who represents the non-armed opposition in the new government.
44. Under the terms of the agreement, Emaxon is to lend MIBA $5 million for capital investment in its production plant and advance it a further $10 million, which will be redeemed against future diamond sales. However, some of MIBA's creditors say that the agreement between Emaxon and MIBA contravenes an undertaking, which the state diamond company gave promising to consult them about any change in marketing and export sale arrangements. The Panel is in possession of a copy of the agreement which is dated Johannesburg, 25 February 2003. The agreement is between MIBA, Groupe Van De Ghinste, Demimpex, Ken Overseas, Chanic and OSS. The agreement stipulates that MIBA must consult the creditors if it changes its marketing agreements.
45. A businessman representing one of the MIBA creditors reported that Secretary General to the government Augustine Katumba Mwanke instructed MIBA's President Administrateur Delegue Gustave Luabeye Tshitala and MIBA's Director of General Services Michel Haubert to sign the Emaxon agreement, and explained that there may be deliberate under-pricing of the MIBA shipments to fund Emaxon's "credit line" to MIBA. Other credible sources have made the same claims, explaining that the Secretary General played a key role in negotiating the agreement with Mr. Leibowitz.
46. Concerns have also been expressed concern about the legal accountability of Emaxon, should there be a dispute over sales revenues or the enforceability of payment agreements. Although Emaxon Finance International Inc. (the entity that signed the agreement) gives its address as Suite 2900 at 1000 de la Gauchetiere West, Montreal, Canada; it does not have a publicly listed telephone number. The majority shareholder in Emaxon is FTS Worldwide Corporation whose business address is stated to be that of a firm of lawyers, Mossack Fonseca & Co in Panama City.

National doubles player, Koo Kien Keat hopes that becoming a father will help him to be more responsible on and off the badminton court. - Filepic
KUALA LUMPUR: Fatherhood will be the motivation for national doubles shuttler Koo Kien Keat to turn around his flagging career this year.
The 28-year-old, who married Audrey Tan last year, is set to become a proud father. His wife is due in April.
And with the baby on its way, Kien Keat is looking very positive to restore his fortunes in badminton with his loyal partner Tan Boon Heong.
"I am quite excited to become a father. It means more changes and responsibility but I am looking forward to the juggling act (of striking a balance between family and badminton)," said Kien Keat after a training session on Monday.
"I hope to make my child and family proud by doing well in badminton. I have to admit that there have not been much good results for me of late and I hope to get back to the top," he said.
There have already been changes over the past weeks as far as his commitment as a player is concerned. He was only absent from training once when he had to take his wife for a medical checkup.
Kien Keat said it was important to regain his confidence and return to form ahead of a hectic badminton year. He is pinning his hopes on representing the country in the Thomas Cup Finals, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and the World Championships.
"There are several major tournaments which I hope to do well in again. It has been a while since I came good in a major event," said Kien Keat, who shot to stardom with Boon Heong after winning the Asian Games gold medal in 2006 in Doha.
Kien Keat also did well at the last Commonwealth Games in New Delhi where he won three gold medals - men's doubles, mixed doubles and mixed team event.
He is also confident that the rise of his compatriots Hoon Thien Hoon-Tan Wee Kiong in the men's doubles department will push him and Boon Heong to achieve better results.
"Hopefully, this will see the men's doubles producing good results this year," said Kien Keat, whose first assignment this year is the Malaysian Open from Jan 14-19 at the Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil.
"The Malaysian Open is the first tournament for me since I went for surgery for my eye infection (last month) and missed the BWF World Super Series Finals.
"Then, Boon Heong was down with fever and we had to pull out of the Korean Open (which starts Wednesday in Seoul). For me, it will be great if both of us can get back into tournament form first in the Malaysian Open," he said.

Tori Spelling & Family Hit The Beach! (Photos)Chris Rogers
Former Beverly Hills, 90210 cast member Tori Spelling spent July 4th weekend with her kids on the beach – exactly the way the holiday should be celebrated.
Tori took Liam and Stella for a fun-filled picnic with strawberries, Popchips, San Pellegrino Limonata lemon sodas, sunglasses, and sand castle tools.
The McDermott kids looked cool as can be basking in the sun, catching some rays.
Their mom sure does treat them grand. Especially seeing as though these little tykes just returned from a vacation in paradise! Hopefully Stella was able to get her hair situation in order!
What special place have you taken your kids to lately?
Check out Tori's personal photos below that she posted on her twitter account including other family trips to the farmer's market and the park.

Magic in the Air
After years of flying, it's easy to take air travel for granted and to see it simply as a way to move quickly from point A to point B. That's why you must watch this utterly charming film from Vodafone called An & Ria's First Flight. It's about a private jet journey by two women in their 70s, neither of whom has ever flown before. It runs nine minutes, but trust us, you'll consider it time well spent. The last few minutes are particularly priceless—and an excellent reminder of just how extraordinary it is to be up above the clouds.
