Balmoral, the second ship to hold the name of the Monarchs' Scottish residence, was launched on 27th June 1949 by Mrs C.B. Pinnock, wife to the chairman of Red Funnel Steamers. Built by I.J. Thornycroft & Co Ltd of Southampton, at a cost of £150,762, Balmoral is a twin screw motor vessel driven by two Newbury Sirron 'O' type diesel engines, and was licensed to carry up to 900 passengers and some 12 vehicles. Blamoral entered commercial service for Red Funnel Steamers on 13th December 1949.
Employed on the ferry routes between Southampton and the Isle of Wight, Balmoral also ran summer excursions around the island, and along the south coast. After the war the Red Funnel fleet mainly carried passenger traffic, but as more prosperous times arrived and car ownership increased, the need for purpose built vessels was realised. The 'car ferry' era was born, leaving the likes of the Balmoral to concentrate on the more leisurely summer excursions and dock tours, assisting with ferry duties only in times of need.
Her Red Funnel days were relatively incident free but, on 21st November 1961 whilst manoeuvring out of Cowes, Balmoral was caught in a strong current causing her to collide with the liner Fairsky and sustain substantial damage to her starboard side. On 21st January 1964 Balmoral was again in the news after running aground in thick fog, just 20ft (6m) from the passenger walkway. It took until the early hours of the following morning to float her free.
Ultimately replaced by the car ferry, Balmoral made her final journey for Red Funnel Steamers on 12th September 1968, and was then put up for sale. In the spring of 1969 Balmoral joined the Bristol based excursions group, P & A Campbell Ltd, where she worked for a further 10 years, but was up 'for sale' a second time in 1980. Eventually, in March 1982, Balmoral was purchased for use as a floating Public House in Dundee by Craig Inns Ltd. This was a venture doomed almost from its outset, and after only a few months she was boarded up and forgotten.
Her third and present sailing career began on 31st March 1985 when she set sail under her own power for the Clyde, having been purchased by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society to support their steamer, 'Waverley'. Following a major re-fit, she commenced her inaugural trip for PSPS on 26th April 1986.
We last caught up with her at Yarmouth pier for a wonderful day sailing along the south coast to Swanage and back, docking at several other piers along the route. It is an immensely pleasurable way to a cruise, whether it be along a gentle stretch of river or around a stretch of our rugged coastline. We should all remember, however, that to maintain historic vehicles, whatever form they take, requires a tremendous amount of money, and only with our continued support as paying passengers can they survive. This is particulary true in the case of MV Balmoral, which has been laid up in Bristol docks since 2012 undergoing extensive repairs.
In May 2015 ownership of the vessel passed to MV Balmoral Fund & White Funnel with passenger operations due to resume in the June. MV Balmoral will initially cover the Bristol Channel and west coast venues, with the aim of extending her sailing programme in 2016 to include the south coast.

The SEC recently proposed a new set of rules aimed at providing better monitoring of the trading activities of large hedge funds and other institutional traders. Considering the current political climate of increased financial regulation, the proposal is expected to be adopted. However, many institutional investors believe the measure is overly intrusive and unnecessary.
In Pictures: 8 Tips For Starting Your Own Business
A Controversial Measure
The measure is decried by institutional traders who believe the SEC has become detached from the reality of modern trading and is getting overly involved. Trading technology expert Frederic Ponzo told Risk.net, "Regulators believe hedge fund managers are trading in a very opaque manner in big chunks using high-frequency trading tools as a device to manipulate the market… It is a myth." (To learn more, see What Is High-Frequency Trading?)
Proponents of the measure believe that increased monitoring of large traders would enable greater transparency and fairness in the financial markets for all participants. To fully understand this proposal for increased monitoring of large traders in context, a bit of historical perspective is necessary.
The History of Large Trader Regulation
While proposals for tracking large traders may seem new, the need for such a system was foreseen early in the development of the modern U.S. financial markets. The SEC has had the authority to establish a large trader reporting system since the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, up until recently, the SEC has been able to investigate potential securities law violations using broader reporting system known as the electronic blue sheet system (EBS).
Over the last several decades, broad advances in computer technology have made it possible for large traders to trade incredibly rapidly and to route orders through many different brokers to disguise the true size and net effect of their transactions. These innovations in the financial markets create serious problems for regulators attempting to detect illegal trading or market manipulation. These trading techniques overwhelm the SEC's existing EBS reporting system which did not envision the techniques in use today.
In light of these problems, the SEC proposed the creation of a large trader reporting system in 1991 and again in 1994. However, after widespread negative reactions the SEC opted not to adopt the proposals. The SEC chose instead in 2001 to focus on enhancing its existing EBS reporting system. (To learn more, check out Policing The Securities Market: An Overview Of The SEC.)
The Details of the Proposed Regulation
Under the proposed new rules, so-called "large traders" would be required to register with the Commission and would receive a unique ID number to provide to their brokers. Brokerage houses would be required to allow regulators to access these transactions on a next-day basis.
The SEC defines large traders as market participants who trade more than two million shares (or $20 million) per calendar day or 20 million shares (or $200 million) per calendar month.
According to an SEC press release, analysts estimate that larger traders comprise more than 50% of total transaction volume on the exchanges. Thus, the SEC asserts, large institutional traders wield a large measure of market power.
The Bottom Line
Without proper regulation, it seems clear that unscrupulous large traders might be able to leverage their size and market access to manipulate markets. While this may not be the case at present, it is hard to argue against enabling greater transparency to help prevent possible future abuses. Capitalism sometimes requires a referee to make sure everyone plays by the rules. In the long run, ensuring fairness in the financial markets is beneficial to all investors, large or small.

Former FIji U20 marksman, Roderick Kumar will miss Savusavu's Promotion Relegation opener against Tailevu Naitasiri next Sunday due to suspension.
Kumar was shown a red card in Savusavu's last pool match against Ba at the Inter District Championship for intentionally kicking Avinesh Swamy in an off the ball incident.
Savusavu boss Gopendra Narayan said while they will miss Kumar, they will field an equally capable replacement.
"Roderick is one of our most experienced players as he has played in the national team and other districts like Rewa and we will surely miss him."
"There are other capable strikers in the squad and we should be able to field a very competitive team against Tailevu Naitasiri," said Narayan.
"Ofcourse we would love to remain the Super Premier division in the new season and will give our best shot against Tailevu Naitasiri. They will be very determined and ready to topple us, therefore we need to play our cards right in order to win both the matches."
"Our training has commenced under the watchful eyes of coach Manoj Kumar and we are looking forward to the opening game next weekend."
"Fitness is currently a concern for us but the players are working hard to get fully fit before the match and I have full faith in my players."
The first leg will be hosted by Tailevu Naitasiri on the 18th at Ratu Cakobau Park and Savusavu hosting the second and final leg on the 25th at Ganilau Park.

Iranian-built satellite used for transmitting images, weather forecasts launched into space
Published: 06.15.11, 21:08 / Israel News
Iran has successfully launched a second domestically built satellite into orbit, Iran's Arabic language al-Alam television reported on Wednesday.
"Iran launched a domestically built rocket and the Rasad 1 (satellite) has been put into orbit," al-Alam reported.
In February 2009, Iran launched its first domestically-built satellite, OMID.
The United States and its allies fear Iran is seeking to build nuclear bombs and are concerned that the long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit can also be used to launch warheads.
Iran says its nuclear program is solely to generate electricity.
The Rasad 1 (Observation) satellite will be used for transmitting images and weather forecasts, TV reported.

I'm new to fixies so your input on buying them in Portland is appreciated.
Currently considering a:
(1) Bianchi Pista with brakes,
(2) Redline 925 (and swap to drops) or a
(3) Surly Steamroller.
Those seem the most promising so far and I want to keep the entire package under $650. Definitely buying local and not group-buy or mail order. I'm looking to commute to work to do my part in curbing CO emissions. Plus fixies are rad.
I saw a Pista at River City but I haven't been to the other "smaller" shops in the East side. Suggestions?

Philadelphia Zoo lets tigers stretch legs on trail
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Visitors to the Philadelphia Zoo might want to beware of stray cats: A new enclosed passageway allows lions and tigers to roam outside their exhibits.
Yet humans can safely gawk at the predators traveling along Big Cat Crossing. The protected, open-air path snakes above the felines' habitat to an archway over the zoo's main promenade, ending at a viewing spot along a lake.
The concept for the catwalk unveiled Wednesday stems from the increasingly common practice of animal rotation, which lets animals take in new stimuli while visitors encounter them in unexpected places.
"It becomes much more of a safari-like experience," said Philadelphia Zoo CEO Andrew Baker.
The $2.3 million project, paid for with state and private funds, is the latest addition to the zoo's comprehensive travel system.
Within the past three years, it opened Treetop Trail to permit small primates to scamper along a suspended path through the property, while the Great Ape Trail offers an outlet for orangutans to explore.
While the trails system was primarily designed to improve animal well-being, "we realized that there were huge opportunities from the guest experience side as well," Baker said.
By that, Baker means that visitors might have to track down animals that aren't lolling around in their home habitats.
That might be fun for older kids, said Alexis Brookens, who visited the zoo Tuesday with a group including her 2-year-old daughter. But parents with younger children might prefer animals to stay in their assigned spaces, she said.
"I think it would be neat to see them walking around instead of just lounging," said Brookens, of Bear, Delaware.
Animal rotation exhibits have become more popular among U.S. institutions as "the public challenges zoos to improve," said Ed Hansen, CEO of the American Association of Zoo Keepers.
Among the earliest efforts was the O Line at the National Zoo in Washington, which lets orangutans travel between enclosures by swinging from cables strung high above the property.
At the Denver Zoo, keepers rotate lions, African wild dogs and hyenas through a habitat. As the species alternate, the scents they leave behind stimulate the next occupants.
"It's to replicate the natural environment as best as we can," Hansen said. "It's enriching to their environment and their mental capacity."
In Philadelphia, Baker said the zoo has meshed those two concepts — travel and timeshare. Cats including lions, tigers, pumas, jaguars and leopards already rotate among five exhibits. Now, they'll take turns using Big Cat Crossing.
The zoo plans eventually to extend and connect all three trails. So in the winter, when it's too cold for orangutans to be outside, cats can discover the Great Ape Trail as well, said Baker.
Anecdotal evidence indicates animals are enjoying the trails and finding new stimuli, he said.
One species of monkey has been making territorial sounds that keepers typically don't hear. Another small primate, a mangabey, was once found on the trail watching a construction project that had captured his attention, Baker said.
On Tuesday, while eating lunch at a restaurant right next to the animal path, Noah Dzielak, 5, of Wilmington, Delaware, said he likes the idea of a tiger being able to walk around.
"Because then he can see the zoo," said Noah.

This Valentines Day I am bringing in treats to my son's fourth grade class. One of the students has an egg allergy so I knew cupcakes and most cookies (kids would recognize) were not an option. There was only one dessert that was hand held and kid friendly that instantly came to mind… Rice Krispy Treats. But, let's face it, they are a little lack luster in appearance. I wanted to jazz them up and make them SHOUT "I Love You" and make a big Valentines Day impression on all the kids. So, I picked up heart shaped sprinkles in the dollar aisle at Target, Rice Krispies Cereal, a bag of marshmallows, red food coloring and a heart shaped cookie cutter to make them pink, heart shaped treats. I have to admit, I am not a photographer. I probably should have used a few more drops of red food coloring for the camera to pick it up, but in person, these sweeties are rockin their pale pink hue and ready to say "I love you" to all the cutie patooties who will eat them.
Oops, I meant to do that!
I have always referred to this cereal as Rice Krispy Cereal and not the original name of Rice Krispies Cereal. So indulge me as I call this dessert Rice Krispy Love Treats and not Rice Krispies Love Treats. Didn't want to confuse you or let you think I made a boo boo. FYI, if you Google Rice Krispies Treats, you will be surprised how many people spell it a different way. I guess it depends on where you come from and what brand cereal you use.
Okay, moving on…
In a large pot, melt the butter and add the bag of marshmallows stirring until smooth. Add the red food coloring until combined. Then add the cereal and sprinkle that pot with lots of sprinkles love.
I wanted mine to be thin so I used a jelly roll pan. Just butter up any pan you plan to use so you can remove them easily once you cut them.
I prettied mine up with a red bow. I wanted them to each look like a heart shaped box of chocolates.
Rice Krispy "Love" Treats
6 cups Rice Krispy cereal ( can use generic brand)
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
5-6 drops of red food coloring (optional)
Valentine Sprinkles (optional)
Butter a 15 x 10 x 1 jelly roll pan.
In a large pot, melt the butter on medium low heat. Add the marshmallows; stir constantly until fully melted and there are no lumps. Add the food coloring and stir.
Remove from heat. Add the cereal and sprinkles; mix thoroughly.
Next, butter your hands (yes, your hands) really well and press warm Rice Krispy mixture into your buttered pan. Push down and to the corners of your pan using the palms of your hand. Flatten the best you can. You can also take the bottom of a flat measuring cup and run it across the Rice Krispies gently but firmly.
Lastly, using your chosen cookie cutter, while the mixture is still warm, cut out each heart and place on another cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. The goodies will be ready to wrap, eat or package once completely cookies ( about 20 min.) Enjoy!

May is here, so a new issue of Golden Isles Magazine hits the shelves. This was a busy issue where a lot of photography fell to me. But I was also glad to give a big assignment to photographer Chris Viola and introduce a new photographer, Amanda Moncus who did a great job. Amanda is the wife of photographer Chris Moncus and the team do great work.
Last month, editor Amy Carter let me know that we would be going to Little St. Simons Island for a special assignment. Little St. Simons Island is a cool place. It is a rustic retreat which is only accessible by boat. The manager of the island is Joel Meyer. I have photographed him for a magazine in the past and gotten to know him well ever since. He even asked me to go out to the island to give the naturalists there some tips and pointers on taking better photos of their guests.
This special assignment was to photograph the owners of Little St. Simons Island. Wendy and Hank Paulson are passionate people who love nature. Mr. Paulson is also the former Secretary of the Treasury.
We took a motorized boat from Hampton Marina a half hour or so after the Paulsons left in their kayaks. We barely beat them there. I was able to grab some shots of them paddling through the marsh and pulling up to the dock. Photographer Chris Viola was kind enough to assist me on the shoot and hold lights and reflectors.
They love looking for birds and other animals including reptiles likes alligators and snakes. They always have their binoculars handy. I was able to get them to pose for a cover shot for a few minutes. They liked my idea of a rustic American Gothic inspired image which I had thought of that morning on the way to the marina. So far everyone is liking it.
Of course, after all the photo shoots for this issue (and I'll go over the other ones in subsequent blog posts) there was still the production to do. I do the magazine design and layout as well, so I was pretty busy. Grab a copy when you see it and give it a read. The articles and columns are all worth reading. As a visual person, I think the design and photography of the magazine are very important, but you also have to have content. Editor Amy Carter and her fellow writers always do a great job in that category!

For this top 10, my favorite top 10 in years, for my favorite movie year since maybe 2007, I went with my gut. Rather than try and convince myself that I loved all the obscure, esoteric offerings out there, I chose films that moved me and made me feel something. With the except of a few arthouse giants, most of the filmmakers I've mentioned are young, burgeoning, intrepid risk-takers who may pratfall here and there, but whom are the future of our cinema.
1. "Take This Waltz," Sarah Polley
A sumptuous, dizzying jaunt through love and all its warts, Sarah Polley's delicate, deceptively small film charmed me with the winsome performances of its romantically challenged leads, its lush visual treatment of Toronto, and a script that -- however on-the-nose -- is funny and feel-good but not afraid to dip into the lower depths of learning how to be alone.
2. "Amour," Michael Haneke
Michael Haneke's "Amour" is the sort of imposing arthouse monolith you may feel you must love but actually don't. But I did. All this talk of the brilliance of Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva is true. It's like walking through a gallery of dying French cinema titans. Haneke sets his penchant for castigation aside -- but thankfully, not his spartan style and brutal unsentimentality -- in the best film he's ever done.
3. "The Color Wheel," Alex Ross Perry
Director and star Alex Ross Perry co-wrote the film opposite Carlen Altman, our year's manic pixie dream girl par excellence, in one summer. And in that time, they were miraculously able to craft the snappiest, squirmiest, and most chatty indie of lost souls of the year — all while playing the leads, a brother and sister pair with bundles of neuroses and baggage. Rarely has the plight of the adrift late-twentysomething been captured so exuberantly — and in the grainy glory of 16mm — with so much psychosexual dysfunction. Perry out-mumblecores mumblecore.
4. "The Loneliest Planet," Julia Loktev
Loktev's spare yet visually fecund adaptation of a little-known short story is the perfect example of Manny Farber's idea of "termite art." That a film as small as this one, with a revelatory lead performance by Hani Furstenberg as the female half of a wayward young couple mired in betrayal, manages to be as revolutionary as — if not more than — some of the big elephants of the year puts a song in my heart.
5. "In Another Country," Hong Sang-soo
Two Hong films reached our shores this year -- "In Another Country" and "The Day He Arrives." While the former is not so much a radical departure for Hong and his trademark affinity for the meta-antics of long sozzled, chain-smoked conversations amid filmmakers, it is the South Korean director's first film that feels high on the possibilities of cinema, as if (re-)discovering it for the first time.
6. "Paradise: Love," Ulrich Seidl
Austrian provocateur Ulrich Seidl is some kind of latter-day Pasolini in his unflinching use of brute symmetry and highly constructed set piece as a means to suffuse the banal with a colorful sense of wonderment. All the boos and jeers at Cannes should be long forgotten by the time, if ever, this other film called "Love" comes stateside -- this is a funny, tragic piece with an amazing lead performance by Margarete Tiesel as a dowdy sex tourist at its center.
7. "Silver Linings Playbook," David O. Russell
Levy any criticism of this unabashedly heartwarming charmer upon me and I will likely concede. I cannot explain away some of the faults and contrivances of David O. Russell's cracked, whacko romantic comedy but I can forgive them. In a year of chilly, arthouse dirges, no film kept a smile on my face as consistently as this one. For once, a feel-good movie that earns its foolish feel-goodery. Jennifer Lawrence > Jessica Chastain.
8. "The Master," Paul Thomas Anderson
Like "Amour," "The Master" is another one of those skyscraper movies that feels imposing and large, at once out of your reach but made specifically for you, that you may feel you have to love even if you don't "get" it. I don't love all of it. I think Phoenix overdid it, and even, at times, Hoffman. But unlike many of the film's detractors, I adore "The Master" for its ambiguity and fearlessness in terms of storytelling. Anderson does leaps and hurdles over his own "There Will Be Blood," forsaking tight, rigorous style for filmmaking that is looser, more open and potentially more dangerous.
9. "Kill List," Ben Wheatley
Holy hell, this is a fucked up movie. It is the occult movie sent caterwauling, the Lynchian art film crossbred with the One Last Job crime movie. With impeccably creepy sound design, a looming sense of dread and a balls-to-the-walls willingness toward batshit insanity, "Kill List" is the best horror movie in years. And it's unfair to call it a horror movie, because that kind of genre-pigeonholing doesn't do this film justice, nor do any adjectives or alliterations I could possible conjure.
10. "Shit Year," Cam Archer
Does this count as a 2012 release? I don't know, but let's run with it. It debuted at Cannes' Un Certain Regard in 2010 and floated around in the ether until reaching San Francisco this past summer, which is when I caught it. Archer's disturbing, cinematic fluxus box of jagged, jangled images is one of the most criminally forgotten films of this or any year. Clad in a fur coat and fiery wit, Ellen Barkin plays the kind of iconic diva only a gay man who's seen "Opening Night" a thousand times could have dreamed up.
Honorable Mentions, which I loved as much as the rest: Antonio Mendez Esparza's "Here and There" (I love quiet, subtle movies that eschew obscurity); Leos Carax's "Holy Motors" (inventive but kind of soulless); Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" (this is the year of "messy," "sprawling" filmmaking, isn't it?); Xavier Dolan's "Laurence Anyways" (see this in the Spring).

This could be a very nice campground... except the bathrooms were old and have little to no privacy. They have no laundry on site. The small pool has very strange hours. Noon to 5pm the 6 to 9? Most of the nice sites are seasonals. It is very close to Knenobles, the provided utilities worked as they should. Staff was friendly enough. They are VERY picky about thier grass. We have decided to try other campgrounds in the area. - Camper 1972

This is a nearly perfect campground in a beautiful part of Pennsylvania. It is tightly controlled, but very clean and friendly. The cable is free, as is the Internet. Both are extremely strong...the cable has a hundred or so channels. Knoebels Amusement Park is 1.5 miles down the road. The ice cream store across the street has the best quality I have experienced, nearly anywhere. The only negatives are a small pool and office with limited supplies, due to size. It's quiet for adults and with Knoebels so close, a dream for kids. - sse

We were here last year and the staff is still friendly & helpful.Sites are level, good hookups,good tv & cell reception, just up the road from Knobles amusement park.Have a small pool but nice. Restrooms clean.Only down side, office is tiny with very little supplies other than candy & marshmellows.So bring what you need, any parts or supplies will be about 1-1/2 miles or so away.Great ice cream place across from camp. - vince/chestertown

During the Week park was empty, Nice. Weekend came and what a zoo. We stayed along the creek, Big mistake. Narrow sites, the campers next to us had their kids pitch a tent on our sight. Management took care of the issue. Another issue along the creek was the non camper fisherman in for trout season. They were walking through the sites from 5am until 11pm. Would stay next time closer to the office. - doghouse traveler

Knoebels is one of the best amusement parks anywhere. The rural location, nice and easy pace, pet friendliness and fun old fashioned rides will never go out of style. Even the concessions are reasonably priced. Lake Glory was an OK park. The staff was nice enough, the office and store was well stocked and the new game room was perfect for a family with tweens to teens. The sites where we were placed were not stellar. Back in was easy, hookups were good and only a little leveling was needed. There was no grass though. Our area was nearly all gravel and dirt. We have a rug so it was not too uncomfortable but for the price I desire better. They do offer a very useful shuttle service to the park and a local deer farmer visited with two awesome red bucks.

We stayed with a group of 5 sites. We were accommodated and placed next to each other. We were on site 80 with water & electric. It is a nicely shaded site next to a stream/creek that my kids enjoyed. Garbage pick up at your site each morning. Love Knoebel's. This is a yearly outing for us and we can't say enough good things about lake Glory. We also really Love the new store/game room. - User540

We found this campground by searching within distance to Knoebels Park. I was happy to find out they had a site with 50amp service. We arrived 2 hours before check in, and they accommodated with us with no additional fee. The store and campground is small and minimalist. We were directed to our site (# 7) which had a nice double cement pad. Although the electric was labeled as 50amp, it only registered as 30amp in our coach. Water pressure was very varied. Sometimes just dripping from the faucet. Sites were close. The overall feel was very friendly (a lot of seasonals). Our site was in a line closest to the road, which was very loud. There is a drag strip not far away which you can also hear. I would highly recommend choosing another site further into the grounds. The pool is older, but was clean and warm (only 5 ft deep at the max). The playground was weathered.
Overall, it was a nice Mom-n-Pop type of campground. We did not use the restrooms/showers/facilities. Based on the rates and amenities, we will most likely opt for another campground next time we visit. - Crestie Lover

Facilities were very clean, all the people in the campground were very friendly and polite. The camp store was small but had all the essentials and was very reasonable on prices. The sites were level, easy access, and a little crowded. The picnic table we had was brand news, fire ring was in great shape and in a great location. Our children had many many other kids to play with which made the trip that much more enjoyable for mom and dad. The playground had a couple swingsets and a rock wall that the kids enjoyed. There was a horseshoe pit right in front of the swingset which was clearly marked but it was still kind of a bad place for it. Overall I would highly recommend this campground, its also in perfect driving distance to Knoebels. - Jlrineer
Aug 2010 - $38.00
We stayed at this campground and had a wonderful experience. The NEW owners were wonderful and very helpful. They are VERY family friendly. We were very happy to see they enforce a speed limit to ensure children are safe always. They pride themselves on cleanliness and making sure there is something for everyone. They have an AWESOME staff and we can't wait to come back here again. - welovecamping4

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi, thanks for your question. You should hire a lawyer for specific legal advice. No attorney client relationship is created here.
Unfortunately, sales taxes are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
The only tax that is dischargeable, is income tax to the debtor, but only if the tax is at least 3 yrs old, filed timely and accurately at least 2 years before the bankruptcy, and the tax must not have been assessed in the last 240 days.
Sales tax must be repaid. so if the debtor is filing chapter 13 -this will be paid 100% in the plan. If chapter 7, the debtor will need to work out a repayment plan with the taxing agency.
Do you have any other questions?

Billy TauzinThe Pharm Exec Interview
Pharm Exec : What do you see as your mission?Billy Tauzin: It's complicated. But if I can summarize it for you, it's to do what I can in collaboration with our member companies to rescue and restore the reputation of what I consider national treasures—companies that produce the medicines that keep us all alive. It is to do everything I can to demonstrate that they care about things like access and affordability, and in the end, to create a better environment for them to continue the great work of discovering and producing cures and therapies. That's why I think I was hired here—to give this industry a chance again to earn the respect and admiration of our country.
I am trying to go to all the companies to meet, not just with the board members, but more importantly with their employees and their management team, to learn from them. I visited Lilly in Indianapolis last week, and there was a town hall meeting with the workers there.

Starting this week, drivers in Florida could get a ticket for texting while driving.
The law starts Tuesday.
Drivers can still talk on the phone, but they will no longer be able to type on the phone.
Drivers will also be allowed to text while stopped at a red light -- the law only applies when the car is moving.
It's a secondary offense, meaning an officer can't pull someone over for just texting. The driver would have to be committing another violation, like speeding or not wearing a seat belt.
If ticketed, drivers will have to pay a $30 fine.

What happened in Asia is a disaster, we all recon that, but today it got personal for me. I just received an e-mail from my surf-teacher, a great guy from South Africa, who was there at the time of the tsunamis. He wrote to me that his girlfriend, who I know too, got cought up in the waves. They found her body a few days ago.
Me, Phil (the surfteacher) and Anne (his girlfriend) spent alot of time on my last holiday, we were usually the last ones to go to bed, telling stories at the campfire. Sometimes we even skipped sleeping and walked to the beach at 5 in the morning, to surf the waves without a whole crows getting in your way
This news struck me pretty hard, this girl was a legend, and I will honestly miss her.
Frankly I dont know the reason I'm writing this, but just remember to donate money to the aid-organisations. The tradegy can't be undone, but the land can be rebuilt, and our money can prevent a whole lot of other people from dying too. Be generous.

Adv TS: 2D + IX
These "mash-up" studios are unique to the Graduate Program in Design and offer students the chance to explore two design disciplines as they relate to one another.
Comings and Goings: Technologies taking notice of who, what, when and where. Humans are social beings-we tell stories, share things about ourselves, and monitor what othe take little notice of having been slept in, our bathroom mirrors don't communicate anything to us, our toasters don't contemplate coordinating their completion time with the teakettles, and the dishwashers don't even negotiate with the water heater about a good time to consume half of the tank's hot water. We will be looking a few years down the road, considering all possible brand, 2D and UX touchpoints and doing "what if" design about how the myriad technologies in our lives might behave differently if they could sense, adapt, identify opportunities and communicate. We'll do our best at fleshing out our designs with today's technology, using sheer determination, sleight-of-hand, and cutting-edge treachery.

Buffy Fashion Roulette: "Wrecked"
Oh, joy. Today's Buffy Fashion Roulette episode is a fashion recap of one of the most After School Special-y episodes of all, "Wrecked". It's so cautionary of a tale that you might even call it a "very special episode", minus the neatly wrapped ending that the most very special of television episodes usually receive. I won't lie, kids. "Wrecked" is one of my least favorite Buffy episodes of all time. It's heavy-handed. The magic-as-addiction metaphor is ridiculous, bordering on corny. The "drug" montages are laughable at best. And Rack, the magic pusher who gets Willow hooked on the dark stuff? He's a dead ringer for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
Our results from "Faith, Hope & Trick" are officially set in stone. Cordelia and Willow both had good showings, garnering 23% and 18% of the votes, respectively. But it was runway-ready Mr. Trick who stole the show with a very solid 32.5% of the vote, showing that the BFR faithful have a great respect for impeccable tailoring and designer menswear.
On the losing end, Xander (with his nasty mudflap girl shirt) and Oz (with his Phish concert-anti chic) tied for third with 8% of votes each, which isn't so damning for either of them. Scott Hope? More like Scott Nope, with 16.5% of "no" votes. But it was Faith who truly disgusted you the most, garnering a staggering 54% of all votes cast.
Now, onto "Wrecked". Previously on Buffy, ALL KINDS OF HORRIBLE SHIT HAPPENED. Willow did mean magic on people with Amy after Tara left her, Giles peaced out of Sunnydale, and Buffy had self-hating sex with Spike until the abandoned house they were doing it in crashed all around them.
As we open the episode, Tara and Dawn are waking up on the couch. It's morning, which to them means that nobody came home last night. Uh, Tara? Willow's on the rebound. She could've just been sneaking a hottie upstairs. Don't flatter yourself so much. But in fact when Tara and Dawn check Buffy's and Willow's bedrooms to investigate the situation, it's true: they're both still out in the big, bad world somewhere.
Dawn's outfit is relatively cute: a glittery butterfly shirt, nice jeans and a sweater over it all. You know, we're pretty harsh on Dawn and all, but she dresses a lot better than any of the Class Of 99'ers did in their day. Tara is wearing that ugly sweater bathrobe that I freaking despise, along with a slightly mismatched brown sweater and brown pair of pants beneath it. Is this what the Buffy wardrobe department thinks that lesbians wear when processing their way a breakup? Yuck.
At the abandoned building, Buffy wakes up and is like, Oh Shit, What Did I Do. There's really no excuse for her behavior. She wasn't even drunk. She doesn't fare well in her attempt to run off all indignantly, either. She goes right back for some smoochies.
I like this outfit, when she's wearing it and all. I'm surprised that she took such care not to rip holes in it or to pop any of her buttons, seeing as how the house was a rockin' so hard.
Spike, meanwhile, is naked and gloating. Srsly, there's nothing more humiliating then when someone is naked and gloating. It's pretty demoralizing. He looks like a cat who caught a salamander and is holding it in his teeth while it's squirming around and begging for mercy.
We do get one quick glance at his Hurt Face, when Buffy throws some shade his way.
But then he goes right back to gloating. I can't really fault him for that.
Buffy made a pretty great Accidental Sex Underwear Decision (ooh, but maybe it wasn't accidental!). No granny panties or period stains for this slayer! When looking at Naked Spike here, I am thinking, what is up with all of this cheesy pawn shop jewelry? We can only see a small fraction of his body, but we can identify three pieces of jewelry. Whaaa? Since when did Spike dress like an extra on The Sopranos? All of his jewelry is silver or platinum (or God, maybe even white gold), and just from this angle we can see he's wearing three pieces: a necklace (or, as the kids are calling it, "a chain"), a tacky bracelet, and a thumb ring. Maybe Spike has a burgeoning rap career on the side? Either way, after rewatching this scene I am seriously disturbed by how many squealing Buffy/Spike relationship fans were squealing about how cute this scene was. There's nothing sadder when people mistake moments of succumbing to self-hatred for true love.
Back at the Summers abode, Tara is totally jealous of Willow coming home at the crack of dawn with another lady, even if said lady was a rat less than 24 hours ago.
Although the style is truly dated, Willow's hair color is AMAZING. I love, envy and cherish it. The coat? Not so much. What's up with all the suede points? It looks like something that a jester would wear. YUCK. Amy is even worse off. Baby poo-colored pants (maybe she stole them from Tara when her back was turned?), a braided leather belt with a giant buckle, weird criss-crossed cutout sleeves… what is going on here? I guess I can't knock her too hard, though: she did spend three years stuck in a rat cage, primarily observing the fashion of one Willow Rosenberg.
Tara gets mad about Willow's burgeoning magic addiction (or gal pal, can't tell which) and stomps away, almost knocking Buffy over in the process. It's hard to make a stomp-off look dignified when you're wearing a knitted bathrobe, though.
Here's a much more hilarious look at Amy's cutout sleeves.
Later at the Magic Box, Anya and Xander are investigating the whole diamond freeze-ray thing that Warren, Jonathan and Andrew pulled off in the previous episode. They aren't having much luck, as there is no magical precedent for this. (Who woulda thunk it?!) They're also having a hard time with the research because Anya stuck a bridal magazine in her research book and is reading that instead.
Xander is, y'know, typical, dependably boring-looking Xander. I can deal with that any day. Anya's ensemble presents a much more challenging assessment. Here is a closer look, complete with lovely Emma Caufield doe eyes.
Her hair color does not sit well with me. I feel that it is a a few shades too blonde, and washes her out a bit. Her makeup looks perfectly alright, but does not compensate for the washed-outness that her hair has wreaked on her face. As far as her outfit goes, I cannot pick a team. Yes, the shirt is very "Anya". But is a tight boatneck top covered in varying sizes of polka dots a good look on anyone? The lone aspect of her ensemble that I can fully get behind is her jewelry. Her matching brooch and earrings are to diiiiie foooor.
Buffy is suffering from a lack of sleep, but she still looks alright. She balks at Anya's "traditional burlap with blood larvae" bridesmaid dress dilemma, which is a shame. That would have made for some Buffy Fashion Roulette magic.
Buffy looks like a modern-day Daisy Buchanan here, sleep deprivation and everything. I'm fully behind it.
Later that night Amy and Willow go on a hunt for Rack's place. At first glance their outfits don't look hideously awful, just average awful. This is probably because they are wearing a jacket and a coat, respectively.
They find Rack's creepy magical meth lab, where he will take them to The Other Side. They'll be Livin' On The Edge. They'll go Crazy. (Heh heh. Heh heh heh.)
I can't decide if ol' Rack/Steve gets the BFR exemption. He lives in a magical meth lab and all; it's probably not terribly easy to shop for clothes when you're constantly on the run from The Law. He kind of dresses like a medieval serf, which is weird. Nevertheless, you'd think he could take a magical bath or something.
The horror of both Amy's and Willow's outfits is revealed once they take their coats off. I mean, yeah, their magical drug dependence is revealed as well. Both their clothes and their witchy acid trips are pretty hilarious, which I can get behind.
Amy trips balls in a denim dress that appears to have been created from a repurposed pair of jeans. I can tell this because there's a weird zigzag at the waist. As far as the fit goes, it doesn't look terrible on her. But come on, dude. It's a denim minidress with a fabric triangle at the bottom.
Does Rack say that Willow tastes like strawberries because she's a redhead? If so, I call Ginger Discrimination, from one ginger to another (ed. note: betcha didn't know I'm a ginge). Anyways, she's hanging out on the ceiling with, as is per the usual in season six, something that laces up the front. Gross. Also gross is the fact that it's not just her body that's defying gravity- her hair and clothing are sticking to the ceiling as well. I call bullshit (or maybe I call budgetary discretion?).
I hate that whole scene where she sees something trippy and crashes to the floor. I mean, how literal do these drugs/magic analogies have to be?
The next morning Willow cries in the shower and tries to sleep it off. I would feel really sad about watching this scene if it wasn't so corny, and if she wasn't trying to sleep off a ham-fistedly executed magical pseudo-drug trip. Anyways, Willow comes across a box of clothes marked "TARA", makes them magically levitate out of the box and onto the bed, inflates them and cuddles in their lap.
I prefer to think that Tara left these clothes behind on purpose, because they are uuuugly.
Later that night Willow heads downstairs, where Dawn is making peanut butter-and-banana quesadillas. (This actually sounds kind of delicious to me.) You may look at this photo and think, "Dawn has weird sleeves."
Then Willow goes to open the fridge, and you immediately forget about Dawn's weird sleeves because you notice that Willow has freaking rayon cobwebs hanging from her wrists.
Willow offers to take Dawn out for burgers and a movie. Buffy comes home, hears some funny noises and feels like something is amiss. She's right. Amy has broken into the house, and she's upstairs stealing!…. sage. She's stealing sage. Apparently she's really hungover, because she almost hurls when Buffy throws her up against the wall and starts freaking out, yelling, "breaking into someone's house for kitchen spices? No, i don't think so!" Yeah, I don't think so either. Why wouldn't Amy just head on down to the Piggly Wiggly and buy some sage in the baking aisle? For that matter, why wouldn't she just shoplift from the Magic Box? Lord knows nobody who hangs out there pays any attention to what's going on in the shop. Anya's reading bridal magazines, Willow's sniffing fat lines of majick, Xander's panicking about getting married… for that matter, why the hell didn't Amy just ask Dawn to steal some sage for her? Dawn's good at stealing. A regular Oliver Twist, that one.
Amy looks like hell, of course. It's Bad Hangover Day; we're lucky Crocs weren't around when this episode was filmed. Buffy looks kind of weird. What's up with the braided pigtails and the black turtleneck? Is she attempting to make up for her sexual indiscretions by appearing extra priggish today?
Willow is wearing the weird jester jacket again, and Dawn has changed into a warmer sweater for their big night on the town. Poor Dawn. She finally thinks she's getting some attention, and all Willow can think about is getting high (on magic, of course).
Hence, Dawn is promptly deposited in Rack's waiting room so Willow can get hi-i-iiiigh. Note the "no smoking" sign on the wall, as well as the giant ashtray full of cigarette butts on the coffee table. (Do drug dens generally have waiting rooms?)
I do find it quite charming that Rack leaves copies of National Geographic lying around for his clients to read. That's very thoughtful of him.
Just in case the hilariousness of Willow's webbed sleeve escaped you in the fridge picture, here's a scene from one of Willow's magic hallucinations. As you can plainly see here, she is reaching for the stars. Incidentally, the fates (?) are oohing a creepy song in the background. This only makes me laugh harder.
But then she hallucinates this, which is really weird and would perhaps be better suited as a Dio album cover.
(Seriously, why would any magical high be worth this?)
Buffy is worried about Dawn, who is missing. She recruits Spike, who is lying in bed naked and feels certain that she has come for the nookie. It occurs to me that most of Spike's clothing up for critique is, well, nudity. Nudity and silver chains.
Buffy is wearing a leather jacket and that silver Y necklace that she becomes so fond of in season 6. Is it supposed to be some sort of S&M metaphor? Like a leash or something?
Stoner Willow is my favorite Alternate Willow that I've encountered thus far in my Buffy Fashion Roulette adventure. Vamp Willow and Evil Willow cannot hold a candle to Stoner Willow once she's spent a few hours floating around on the ceiling of Rack's magical crack den. She starts out by pushing Dawn's buttons and pretty much calling her a loser. Fun!
Spike has put on his non-naked uniform and has joined Buffy in searching the streets for Dawn (and Willow). 'Cept they aren't so much searching as they are processing about their feelings. Barf.
Willow and Dawn encounter the scary Dio Demon that Willow magically conjured, and Willow mouths off to it. Hilarious!
Willow starts 'drunk driving' and she yells out, "take that, scuzz!" Only a stoner would say something that weird. Amazingly, she isn't even steering with her hands. Dawn is terrified and screaming.
Then, as drunk drivers (even drivers who are drunk on magic) are prone to doing, Willow crashes the car. Dawn's arm is broken and she's almost devoured by the Dio Demon. Buffy saves the day, of course, and she and Spike look on with no reaction as Dawn uses her good arm to smack the ever lovin' crap out of Willow.
As you can see from this photo, Willow loves to shower after her magical LSD adventures. She and Buffy have a heart to heart. Willow reveals her dependency on magic, and explains her insecurities. Magic makes her feel special. "Who was I? Just some girl." Indeed, Willow. You were a girl in a crazy birthday cake shirt. A girl in a school uniform-style jumper that reveals 'the softer side of Sears.' A girl with the best sneaker collection this side of the hellmouth. And we loved you for it. Magical rehab, Willow. Hurry, before you end up like Lord Voldemort.
Later, Willow experiences serious withdrawals after two days of Rack Magic. Dang. Them's some downright powerful magicks!
Aaaand Buffy strings up garlic all over her room in an attempt to keep Spike from coming in. He never drops by, which is beside the point; as soon as he knocked on her window she'd just yell at him, then throw all the garlic in the closet and invite him in.
Thus ends the after school special. Vote below!
And if you don't mind, I have an additional poll. It'd be helpful if you could answer that one as well.
October 6, 2010 2:31 PM
A.) When I watched this episode on Netflix it was on widescreen, and you could totally see Spike's Flesh Colored Panties of Modesty in that first naked scene. Zomg my eyes.
A.1) I hate when he wears super tight scoop neck shirts. I'm embarrassed for him. It's worse than the giant button-downs.
B.) I kind of hate this episode too, for all the reasons you listed. I know most everything on the show is a big fat metaphor, but I totally got them without having them shoved in my face, k? And the inflatable Tara scene is far too cheesy to be sad, which is kind of sad, because I love Willow and Tara together, and I love season 6 Tara, because she grows a spine.
October 6, 2010 6:54 PM
I'm so excited! I've been waiting for a review of Spike's (b) costume! Although I forgot about the tacky jewelry. Did the wardrobe dept. feel bad that they didn't have anything to put in James Marsters dressing room that week so they just decided to leave him a pile of tacky jewelry? I mean honestly, it's not like Spike's weekly (a) wardrobe takes any more effort and imagination to put together than his (b) wardrobe.
Also, wonderful description of Rack's waiting room! It's vaguely reminiscent of Blue Velvet for me, only without Al from Quantum Leap. I'll need to watch that again.
Is it just me or does anyone else wish David Lynch got the chance to write and direct a Buffy episode (*cough* Restless)?

It's not just a metaphor … it's a MARTIPHOR! (tm TWoP) But UGH, I really don't like Wrecked. (Smashed, may have the World's Loudest Zipper Unzipping and cheesy Bronze magicking, but at least I can watch it (well, except when the Spuffy groinyness starts.))
Spike is such a copycat. It's not just doing Angel's old girl, or getting a soul, or using vast amounts of hair product — he also follows grandsire's bizarre skanky manjewelery fad. Seriously, earlier seasons. Angel wears this long nechainlace with a weird little twist at the end CONSTANTLY and numerous rings, though at least he never lowered himself to a bracelet. Though interestingly, Angel never wears this manjewelery over on his own show. Maybe Buffy makes her paramours buy this kind of stuff. (Obviously she never loved Riley because he never wore the manjewelery she prescribed to him. A-ha!)
Great fashion recap; your commentary on both the plot and the fashion had me in stitches.❤

wow, hard choices today because most of these outfits were awful. I wavered between Anya (I like those sweet dots) and Spike (do i need to explain this?).
Tara made my worst list because she is actually such a beautiful woman although she clearly tries to hide it with her mini tents. Do the writers really assume that every lesbian woman dresses that way?
I hope for a regular roulette on Tuesday because it is my most hated university day (Russian grammar, State law plus some useful but boring computer courses) and I need something to looking forward to.

"Willow's sniffing fat lines of majick," – Omg, you are cracking my shit up! I really enjoy reading these and am waiting impatiently for you to post a new one.
Nicki permalinkOctober 7, 2010 6:57 PM
This week was sooo easy to vote for. Obviously Spike is best dressed.😉 His birthday suit is amazing!!!! And Tara's long bathrobe was just disgusting. Something I found disturbing though: I used to think Rack was ickier. He looked almost kind of maybe normal-ish in this picture. Maybe he gets worse. We'll see eventually, hopefully. Keep up the blog, it's the highlight of my week! (Whatever week it happens to come out on)
Missy permalinkOctober 8, 2010 2:24 AM
Voted Anya Best Dressed for the obvious reasons
(She looked like the only person who put thought into what she was going to wear that day)
Rack got Worst dressed….(even though I really like Jeff Kober)
When you mentioned how Dirty everything about Rack was I thought even if he took a bath (Magical or otherwise)is "Meth Lab" was so filthy…..he woulda wokeup Dirty again anyway
I was going to pick Amy for the hideous Denim Dress(I cringe when I see that Dress)……but you do only see it in that scene…Rack "won" by default Lol
Stoner Willow is very Mouthy….compared to all the other Willows we see…..I❤ it too
Everyone else was dressed kinda Blah just like the ep is.
Have to give props for the Dawn Willow Bitch Slap…..very nice & kinda unexpected.
October 11, 2010 3:20 PM
i highly doubt that tara left that outfit behind on purpose. seeing as she regularly dresses as if she's going to a renaissance fair, you know she was kicking herself for not grabbing her velour turtleneck/ ankle length skirt ensemble before she stormed outta there. can't wait till you draw "once more with feeling."
love the piggly wiggly reference
Kristin permalinkOctober 11, 2010 7:23 PM
Oh, those sweater bathrobes of the late '90s and early 2000s were awful, and yet so many women wore them! Also, I would like to note that I had a clearance version of Dawn's butterfly shirt before this episode aired, and at the time I felt somewhat proud to be dressing like a BtVS character. Even if that character was Dawn.
I think Buffy's hair is in braids because SMG cut her hair, apparently in the middle of filming this episode. She had to wear that horrendous wig in the next episode until they revealed her haircut.
Ky permalinkOctober 11, 2010 9:13 PM
You should've included a screenie of that moment where Willow's lounging on the ceiling and she kind of makes eyes into the camera and basically looks incredibly hot.
Which… you probably disagreed with and therefore left it out.
But it would have made up for all those times you wickedly attached photos of Miserable Willow.
October 13, 2010 5:56 PM
"It occurs to me that most of Spike's clothing up for critique is, well, nudity. Nudity and silver chains."
If the polls weren't closed I'd totally vote for The Return of The Killer Bath-Robe. I remember when the cool kids wore those… in middle school.
Jessica permalinkOctober 16, 2010 6:59 PM
A reference to Dio? HOLLA.
You are superbly bitchin, no doubt about it.
I actually have this blog on a convenient link to start a new tab for it and check it periodically.
Casie permalinkFebruary 6, 2011 2:33 PM
Msjacks where did you go?! I'm really missing my weekly dose of Buffy fashion! Please come back soon!
Vicky permalinkJuly 25, 2011 1:00 PM
It's interesting to watch this storyline with fashion in mind. You'll notice that in this episode and the ones leading up to it, Willow is wearing heavy make-up and weird, low-cut tops. I guess this look symbolizes evil-black-magic addiction. In the next episode, as Willow battles her addiction, we see a return to natural make-up, quirky t-shirts and fuzzy sweaters.

The debut heavenly release from Le Corps Mince De Francoise featuring a massive Andy Weatherall remix that's like an old school jbo style mix. 'Gandhi' reimagines Sean Ryder's skewed pop vision, but sung by Nordic Sirens who cut their teeth listening to everyone from the Beastie Boys to Gaga whilst getting lost in ghost world. It's as immediate and accessible as it is dazzlingly unique.

Iceploration tells the story of Austin, who believes technology keeps his pre-teen generation connected more than ever, and his grandfather – and old-world explorer – who encourages him to put down the smartphone and "explore the world," including the African Serengeti, Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic and the Amazon rainforest.
Daily performances are held in the Moroccan Palace Theatre. Find out show times for Iceploration and other great shows at Busch Gardens.

Iceploration® incorporates 21 live animals including an African ground hornbill, sun conures, Siberian lynx and Siberian huskies.
Among the award-winning individuals lending their talents to the creation of Iceploration are a Tony Award-winning costume designer and an Olympic gymnast.
Creating the four tons of ice for the Iceploration stage required 10,000 gallons of water.
Iceploration's 77 featured costumes took more than 10 months and nearly 500 yards of fabric to construct.

The Phoenix/ Award BIOS is the most commonly one found on most motherboards made today, yes there are others but none as well known and popular as Award. There are many available options for increasing system performance and these options are all very easy to adjust and fairly straightforward and understandable. The OC-Guru applet enables the board to make real time modifications to the board's FSB and voltage settings allowing for a more precise and controlled overclocking environment for the end-user. There are currently six features that the uGuru microprocessor lets you control, they are: ABIT EQ, Fan EQ, OCGuru, FlashMenu, Audio EQ, and the BlackBox. Each one of these features has value as far as system options go and can be a big asset to those seeking to monitor and maintain their system.
The Fan EQ lets you monitor and control the speed of your system cooling fans, which is good if your fan is noisy and can be toned down a bit without losing functionality. ABIT MaxFID (Max Frequency ID) Technology is a special designed for ABIT K7 series MB. With unique ABIT R&D engineering, MaxFID Technology can support an extra 16 sets of parameters to determine the AMD CPU multiplier. Unlike other manufactories, users can not only OC by FSB, but also adjust CPU's multipliers through ABIT MaxFID to get the best performance from their platform. Below is the complete set of BIOS screen shots is you want to see your exact feature options. ABIT's Thermal Guard offers even more protection for your system by allowing the user to set the parameters guiding shutdown on fan failure or over-heating.

It's a cloudy Friday afternoon in Budapest as my roommate and I sit on our respective beds, listening to the Black Keys, our laptops open to Facebook, and the dull sounds of a restless dorm are lulling us into well-deserved naps. I have been in Budapest for just under two weeks and it is safe to say that I am loving every minute of it. The first thing I want to tell you about is the city.
Budapest is actually two cities – Buda and Pest. We live and go to school in Buda, which is west of the Duna or Danube as it is known to the rest of the world. We live at the top of a hill in Morticz Szigmond Korter. The hill is not unlike the fair Acadian hill that K is built on! We have to hike up it every day when we come home from a long day at school or at night when we have been out exploring Pest's nightlife. It welcomes us along with a doorman who holds our keys on a wall – kettoszaztizenketto – 212!
The dorm, Eotvos Collegium, is an old building with peeling paint and a grand stone staircase. Our room is quite large and has two windows that look out on to the rooftops of the Korter. I singlehandedly killed all the plugs in our room when I was using an American hair-straightener on the wrong conversion setting. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. We share the dorm with the other people in the Budapest Semester in Cognitive Science program and the Hungarians who attend Eotvos University. Everyone is very polite and helpful. The offer a kind szia! in passing. It means hello. They also tried to explain the German washing machine to us, but we mostly ended up figuring it out ourselves.
When we are not lounging around in our rooms – and not doing homework, because we don't have any – we like to go exploring. Budapest is an extremely navigable city. Nothing is much further than a twenty-minute tram ride away. We take the same tram basically everywhere. To school, to Pest, etc. Pest is the exciting side of the city. We have found excellent restaurants, markets, and the famous ruin pubs over there. You can walk to Pest via the Liberty Bridge from where we live. We have been enjoying some incredible weather and the warm evenings make the city even more fun to explore at night. MoSzig Korter has everything we need within walking distance. The mall, Spar – grocery store, cafes with $0.85 cappuccinos, the Copy General, $2 gyros at the 'can't stop, won't stop' (open 24 hours a day), and McDonalds for a late night American fix.
Everyone told me that Budapest was beautiful, but no one said Hungary's beauty would bring me to tears as I looked out to a 360° view of Hungary from atop the Basilika in Esztergom. The city, the country, everything is breathtaking and has welcomed me to my home for the next five months in so many unexpected and unimaginable ways.

Zenit Saint Petersburg defender Nicolas Lombaerts was delighted to welcome Andre Villas-Boas to the club as the new manager.
The Portuguese was appointed by the Russians on Tuesday afternoon following the sacking of Luciano Spalletti and the arrival of the former FC Porto, Chelsea and Tottenham boss is a massive coup for Zenit according to Lombaerts.
"Villas-Boas as new coach did not come as a surprise to us, but now it is official," the Belgian centre-back told reporters.
"He is a great coach, we have both won the UEFA Cup."
Villas-Boas will watch on when Zenit meet Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg following last month's 4-2 loss in St Petersburg.
Lombaerts was hopeful of scoring the three goals required but knew it would be a monumental effort to achieve the feat.
"It will not be easy, we will have to win 3-0, but everything is possible in football," he added.
"Conceding four goals is not good, but we have trained hard and we are now more compact and have taken a step forward.
"Dortmund have a really good team. It is not a coincidence that they played in the final last year."

(En español) Armando Rodriguez, M.D., is an internist for a multi-specialty medical group in Miami, Florida. He was born in the United States in 1961—two weeks after his parents arrived from Cuba. His main patient base is Medicare and Medicaid recipients of color. Below he discusses his personal experience with depression, mental illness stigma in Latino communities, and how he screens primary care patients for mental illness.
What has been your history with depression?
What made you want to become a doctor?
Is there a stigma surrounding mental illness in Latino communities?
How did your family deal with your depression?
Do you screen for depression in your practice?
Why are your patients more likely to open up to you instead of directly seeking a mental health clinician?
Have any of your patients had problems with access to mental health care?
What advice would you give to people who do have trouble getting access?
What has been your history with depression?
Since I was a child, I have had depression, generalized anxiety, and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). But I didn't start psychiatric treatment until about four or five years ago. Before then, there were moments when I was better and moments when I was worse. I remember having performance anxiety when I was going to grade school. I would panic from feeling uncomfortable in a classroom with so many people. They would have to call my parents to come pick me up from school. I'm 49 now and it's amazing that I've been able to cope despite the stressors not just from my career, but also from family and life itself.
What made you want to become a doctor? My pediatrician was my main role model. He made house calls, came over to see me when I was sick at any time of the day or night. In Cuba, he was a well renowned pediatrician, but he was seeing patients here, without a medical license, after he exiled himself from Cuba. Even though seeing patients without a license was illegal, he helped a lot of Cuban kids and parents that had recently arrived to the U.S.
Is there a stigma surrounding mental illness in Latino communities?
The stigma is very high. There's a lot of machismo in the culture, so a man with depression is looked at as weak. If a female acknowledges her depression, it's looked at as a sin, anti-Catholic.
How did your family deal with your depression? There are no problems with my wife and kids. My parents have accepted it, but, deep down, they see it as a fault in their parenting. On the surface, there's a little bit of denial, "Oh, it's no big deal. You'll get over it." I have to explain that it's a condition. They also suffer from mental illnesses that they have been reluctant to accept. They haven't wanted to see a psychiatrist or take antidepressants. Their excuse is, "We don't want to get hooked on these meds." There's a lot of denial on their side.
Do you screen for depression in your practice?
We do. We basically use a clinical eye—observing how the patient looks. We ask questions like, "How is your mood? Have you lost interest in things that previously interested you? Have you had any changes in sleep patterns or appetite?" What's amazing is how many people will answer, "Yes, my energy is low. My mood is low. I've stopped doing things that I liked to do." Many patients with chronic illnesses are depressed. Asking these questions helps us to diagnose it. Of course, we look for secondary reasons. Could this be caused by a medication? A beta-blocker? A diuretic? Do they have hyperthyroidism? We are always looking for possible causes instead of just saying, "You're depressed. Here's a prescription for an antidepressant. See you later." We also try to find out if they are grieving over a recent loss or if their depression is otherwise situational. In that case, they may not need an antidepressant; they may just need to follow-up with a psychologist or counselor. We should be screening with a Hamilton questionnaire, but we don't have time for it.
Why are your patients more likely to open up to you instead of directly seeking a mental health clinician?
Since I am their primary care physician, they are likely to see me first. It is also due to the stigma around mental illnesses. Some people think, "If I have to see a psychiatrist, that means I'm nuts." I have to push them. I like for them to see a psychiatrist—especially if it's a patient who already has a diagnosis of mental illness and is on medication. I also push them if I see that three or four months have gone by, we've tried a few different regiments, and we're not getting anywhere. I need the help of a psychiatrist.
Have any of your patients had problems with access to mental health care?
Not really. The problem with our Medicare and Medicaid patients is that they don't comply. They won't follow through and make the appointments. I'll give them a list and phone numbers of three to five psychiatrists whom I like. When they come back to see me again, I'll ask, "Did you see any of the psychiatrists?" They'll say no.
What advice would you give to people who do have trouble getting access?
NAMI (the National Alliance for Mental Illness) is an excellent resource and that can help people find services in their areas. Your Depression and Bipolar Wellness guides in Spanish are helpful for families as well. You can also talk to your family and friends, those who won't be judgmental, or a member of the clergy. Talking about how you feel can provide a great source of comfort, reassurance, and emotional support. Clergy members might even be able to help you find doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, or counselors in the congregation. Other resources might be local medical societies or, on the state level, departments of metal health. You can call and tell them, "Hey, I live in the boondocks. My next-door neighbor is one hundred miles from here. I'm having all of these feelings—what do I do? Who can I see?" It's their job to help out. The number one thing is admitting you have a problem. Once you get over that hurdle, everything else becomes better.

Note: Given what she had to say, the YCSD has agreed not to use this witness's real name or likeness in public documents.
Jill Ferris was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Her parents quickly learned that Jill was a little different than the other children they knew. Both of them came from large families so there were plenty of Jill's cousins around as she grew up. While the other kids enjoyed being together, Jill chose to play alone. Her mother believed that Jill was just too shy, but over time, she realized that Jill simply preferred her own company..
If her cousins needed help with something though, it was a totally different story. Jill was always ready to teach anyone. The other kids would always turn to Jill when they needed help in any area, and Jill would always deliver. As soon as the lesson was learned, she was ready to be alone again. She enjoyed solitude and entertained herself quite well.
Jill never made a grade below an A from first grade through graduation. She was the top student in her class in mathematics every year, and started tutoring upperclassmen while she was just a freshman in high school.
During her senior year of high school, several colleges offered her academic scholarships. She accepted the offer from the University of Mississippi and enrolled as a freshman in the fall of 1980. She majored in Mathematics and went on to complete her graduate work at Ole Miss. As a graduate student, she applied for and got a position as a Teaching Assistant for the Mathematics Department.
Jill met freshman Kevin Gilmore during the 1986-87 school year, when she was the TA for his Basic Math class. Jill claims Kevin offered her a bribe if she would do his class assignments for him. She says she turned the offer down, and neither she nor Kevin ever mentioned it again.
When she completed her graduate degree at the end of that academic year, Jill returned to Atlanta and went to work as a teacher for an exclusive private school. After several years teaching at the high school level, during which time she completed her Ph.D. in Mathematics at Georgia State University, she took a job as an assistant professor at a small private college.
Ten years later, Jill was an associate professor at the same school and on the wrong end of an ugly divorce. She took a long look at her life and decided she needed a change of scenery to make a fresh start. She applied for an associate professorship at another university in a different state and was accepted to start work the next semester.
While catching up on the Oxford local news online in mid-July 2011, Jill learned what had happened to Kevin Gilmore back in 1987.
