So some would remember I have a cost of car ownership calculator some time back. You can access it over here. Here are the instructions how to use it.
I did a computation in 2010 (2.3 years ago) with my good friends 1.5 litres Toyota Vios. Then, you can pay for 10 years, the loan interest rate 2.2%. (See the result here)
It's a whole different ball game now. We are constrain to only 60% of loan servicing and a higher interest rate and a shorter tenure.
One reader Lee Wen Loong actually mentioned this necessity to own a car to me.
So I did another computation this time with a
- Kia Cerato Forte 1.6L $93000 (including GST, March Prices)
- Loans from DBS Car Loan. (See here)
- 30 year old 0 NCD – Insurance $1800/year

Rotorua, New Zealand
Is the place where it smells like rotten eggs (presence of hydrogen sulfide) and there are plenty of mud volcanoes and geysers. Mud so much that it forms a mud pools, and you can see in this photo. Thermal activity here is due to Rotorua caldera, which is a city of the same name. By the way, the water here is very different colors – from yellow to orange to green. So many tourists come to see this miracle.

Use Silicone Spray to Save on Speeding FinesSunday, February 8th, 2009
There are many products on the market to help motorists avoid fines for speeding from fixed and mobile speed cameras but one of the cheapest and easiest methods comes in a spray can that only costs a few bucks. Spray on silicone lubrication spray will put a sheen on your number plates making it very difficult for the police to read the registration number if you are snapped by a speed camera.
Unlike other products silicone spray cannot be seen by the naked eye and it is available from electrical wholesalers Australia wide for a few dollars a can. I have used this method in the past and while it is very difficult to be certain it works in 100% of cases I have never received a speed camera fine in any vehicle that I have driven that has had a spray recently.
I wouldn't be foolish enough to suggest that you should spray your plates then go out and flaunt it but a quick spray every time you wash your car could save you big bucks. My sources inform me that this method is infallable but I invite readers to give us some feedback on their experiences using silicone spray.

Low-key civil servant who took bullet from 'The General'
BRIAN Purcell is to remain in the civil service despite his decision to step aside as secretary general of the Department of Justice.
In a letter circulated to colleagues, he said the Independent Review Group report on the department had identified flaws and failings.
He said the department needed to change how it functions "to cope with a complex and fast changing world".
Mr Purcell said that he was aware the report would give rise to renewed speculation about his position – and hinted that he did not agree with all of its findings.
While he was prepared to deal with such speculation, he said it would "prove a damaging distraction" and would have placed the department and Minister Frances Fitzgerald in an "invidious position".
"So I have come to the painful, but, I believe, necessary conclusion that in the circumstances which have arisen it would be best if I were to be reassigned to other duties in the public service," he said.
Mr Purcell, who has been with the department for 23 years, will remain in place until a replacement is appointed.
It is not known where he will be moved to.
He has been the department's secretary general for the past three years. Prior to that, he headed up the Prison Service for a decade.
In securing the top job at the department, Mr Purcell followed the same career path as his immediate predecessor, Sean Aylward, who also had a stint in charge of the Prison Service.
His tenure was regarded as low key and he was rarely in the headlines prior to the resignation earlier this year of Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.
Mr Purcell visited Mr Callinan at his home at the behest of Taoiseach Enda Kenny the night before the commissioner resigned.
It remains unclear what was said at the meeting – and Mr Purcell has refused to answer questions on the issue.
The sequence of events leading up Mr Callinan's departure is being investigated by retired Supreme Court Judge Nial Fennelly.
Prior to joining the Department of Justice, Mr Purcell had been a higher executive officer in the Department of Social Welfare.
It was during this time he encountered the notorious Dublin criminal Martin 'The General' Cahill, who shot him twice in the legs.
In keeping with his low key approach, it is an episode Mr Purcell has rarely discussed.
At the time it was part of his duties was to deal with welfare payments.He took the brave step of stopping the weekly dole payments of £92 that Cahill had been receiving.
Cahill's gang later abducted Mr Purcell from his Dublin home, drove him away in the family car and brought him to Cahill, who shot him.
His wife was tied up during the ordeal.
While recovering in hospital, Mr Purcell received an anonymous get-well card, which stated: "The General prognosis is good."

Migraines certainly can be heritable - but it is worth bearing in mind that migraine is frequently misdiagnosed - perhaps *especially* misdiagnosed in research trials (which have to recruit many subjects quickly - whether they exist or not).ReplyDelete
In my family all first degree relatives have true migraines - but all with different frequency patterns and severity - from pure visual symptoms through mixtures to pure pain, from once every few years for a few hours up to, well, me!
How much can standard heritability estimates tell us about sex differences? Someone raised as a girl in a rich vs poor household is still raised as a girl. Boys with botched circumcisions raised as girls tell us more about what is innate. I recall Sailer referencing an engineering prof female-to-male transition who reported improved visuo-spatial abilities when taking testosterone. Do we know if that has any effects on migraines?ReplyDelete
This study shows consistently lower serum levels of androstenedione, testosterone, and free testosterone in female migraine cases compared to controls. The sample is very small, however, so the differences are not significant.ReplyDelete

Updated January 16, 2018 A proton is a positively charged particle that resides within the atomic nucleus. The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is what determines the atomic number of an element, as outlined in the periodic table of the elements. The proton has charge +1 (or, alternately, 1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs), the exact opposite of the -1 charge contained by the electron. In mass, however, there is no contest - the proton's mass is approximately 1,836 times that of an electron. Discovery of the Proton The proton was discovered by Ernest Rutherford in 1918 (though the concept had been earlier suggested by the work of Eugene Goldstein). The proton was long believed to be an elementary particle until the discovery of quarks. In the quark model, it is now understood that the proton is comprised of two up quarks and one down quark, mediated by gluons in the Standard Model of quantum physics. Proton Details Since the proton is in the atomic nucleus, it is a nucleon. Since it has a spin of -1/2, it is a fermion. Since it is composed of three quarks, it is a triquark baryon, a type of hadron. (As should be clear at this point, physicists really enjoy making categories for particles.)

American Artist Adriano Manocchia's Expressive Golf Landscapes Available at St. Andrews Golf Art
St. Andrews, Scotland (January 19, 2012)—St. Andrews Golf Art (http://www.standrewsgolfart.com), currently is showcasing six leading contemporary artists whose golf specific pieces are sought after by private collectors, clubs and enthusiasts. The prestigious online gallery carefully selected respected and established talent for its introduction in 2011 to art connoisseurs.
Adriano Manocchia brings a rather unique perspective to his art from past professional assignments and experiences. He began his career as a photo-journalist and ran his own photo/film agency in New York City. Adriano spent 12 years traveling the world to cover news events for television and print media. Many of his assignments were at the White House.
In the 1980s, Adriano turned to painting full time, concentrating on wildlife and the great outdoors. His fluid style, dramatic use of light and a fascination with water were reflected in works of varying moods and nuances. Accolades and awards brought Adriano immediate recognition from art critics and collectors. A Bald Eagle painting was selected to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Constitution by the U.S. Bicentennial Committee. Through his distinctive art, Adriano has supported Ducks Unlimited, Atlantic Salmon Federation, Trout Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, American Cancer Society and the Special Olympics.
Adriano's mesmerizing landscapes (and waterscapes) brought him into the golf arena when the United States Golf Association in 1992 commissioned him to paint a series of oils of famous courses. His first two efforts depicted the famous 8th hole at Pebble Beach and The Honors Course in Tennessee. The two images were issued as prints and were sold to raise funds for the USGA/Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. The success of this venture led to many more golf art commissions from private clubs in the U.S. Most recently, Adriano created a major painting for the PGA TOUR that depicts the 18th hole at TPC Sawgrass, site of THE PLAYERS Championship, with the Tour's spectacular clubhouse in the background. The work is on display in the clubhouse's Champions Room.
"I paint landscapes that have come from encounters with nature, trying not to make the paintings seem ideal," Adriano explains. "The light in my work has a photographic but painterly quality to it. There is little doubt that I am a visual person. And it is that incessant search for the visually stimulating that makes this voyage exciting."
Adriano's paintings have appeared in numerous publications, including Gray's Sporting Journal, Flyfishing, Fly Rod & Reel, Collector Editions, Outdoor Life, Premiere (Monte Carlo), Wildlife Art, Conservationist, Pescare (Italy), Flyfishing Quarterly, Bugle, U.S. Art, Sporting Classics and Flyfisher (Japan). His work also is reproduced in several fine art golf books.
Adriano resides with his family in upstate New York in the picturesque and art rich community of Cambridge.

FC: Baking Day 2006 - 2011
1: Creating life-long memories...
3: It's beginning to look a lot like Cookies!
5: Who needs Santa when you have Auntie Jane!
7: Cookies baking over an open fire Lil' Chewie nipping at your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Janie's on her way; She's loaded lots of toys and goodies on her sleigh. And all the Hart girls are going to spy, To see if Lil' Chewie really knows how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you
9: Holiday Memories made with love and cookies!!
11: Sugar...., Sugar..., Oh, I think I ate too much!
15: "And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, How could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." ~ Dr. Seuss
16: "Although it's been said, many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you, Auntie Jane!"
18: Have a Holly Jolly Christmas | Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Auntie Jane and Baking Day!!
21: We love you Auntie Jane, and Uncle Dave and Chewie too. Merry Christmas to you!

24: May all your Christmas dreams come true

36: It's time for Christmas wishes and mistletoe kisses
39: We want Auntie Jane to stay forever!! And bring Uncle Dave and Chewie too!!

NOTE: Headline corrected. How could I have not seen that?
I confess to not being much of a prophesy guy. I was once caught up in the whirlwind of dispensationalism — as I note, its a really good faith for geeky, misfit, and overly intelligent high schoolers — but have not been for some time.
I don't scour scripture and try to discern the future. Aside from the promise of our redemption, of Jesus returning, and signs of that (which seem to trouble every age since he ascended), and the subjugation of the pagan, gentile world the Christ (whatever that might mean), we have few promises.
Well, and this: "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." If we are penitent thieves.
However, while I don't believe scripture does much pointing to a specific future, it does allude to itself. Which is why I find it curious that no one, so far as I know, has made this comparison.
In Revelation 13, we have a description of two great beasts, and it's the second beast, "rising out of earth" with "two horns like a lame and it spoke like a dragon." This is the beast that does great signs, and forces all — "both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave" — to take its mark on the right hand or the forehead so that "no one can buy or sell" without the mark. This is the beast of which John says:
This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. (Revelation 13:18 ESV)
Six-six-six. A dreaded number attached to Satan and the Devil and all sorts of evil. Yeah, okay, it's 616 in some manuscripts, but most have 666.
And so, we count letters, do obscure forms of numerology, try to discern who this person might have been historically and who this might be pointing to now.
But what if this is simply … an allusion to something else in scripture? We find ourselves now in 1 Kings 10, after Solomon has just received the Queen of Sheba:
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, 15 besides that which came from the explorers and from the business of the merchants, and from all the kings of the west and from the governors of the land. 1 (Kings 10:14-15 ESV)
There's that number, 666. This is apparently a lot of gold. Solomon is wealthy, powerful, righteous, draws people — like the Queen of Sheba — to him. His kingdom is impressive, his army large, his palace ornate. "The like of it was never made in any kingdom," the author of 1 Kings writes.
What if John's number in Revelation doesn't name a person, but rather alludes to the kind of power the Second Beast has, the power that echoes that of Solomon, a power that draws all to itself. Solomon too was a man, a man who possessed much wisdom yet also turned from the Lord.
It's not a perfect parallel, or even a good one. It alludes, it hints at, and little more. Perhaps this second beast will be seen as Solomon-like, wise and forbearing, wealthy and powerful, but a persecuted of God's people, of the lamb and all those who follow. I suspect the two beasts are likely allusions to Vespasian and Titus, the father and son Roman generals who waged war on Jerusalem and destroyed the city, who then both, in turn, became emperor of Rome.
But the 666 may be an allusion power and wealth, and all that it means, and all that it brings.

Rafie Khoshbin at Charleston Fashion Week
"Inspired by the defiance of hope in times of oppression and violence, this collection explores the beauty of human compassion in the darkest and evil times. Beaded, studded fabric and skull lace texturizes darker, painful, and heartache and darker emotions. Furthermore, the red and yellow accent colors are the universal cautionary colors, however, they are also the only colored plants that tend to bloom in freezing and cold temperatures. They give hope to the rest of the living that are asleep. The genocide in Aleppo is a perfect example where hope is not forgotten in its darkest and bloodiest days. A tribute to the brave man, woman and children of Syria and people fighting for justice all around the globe."
Rafie Khoshbin, VCU Fashion 2016 B.F.A. graduate, showed his Women's Avant-Garde Fall/Winter 2017 collection at Charleston Fashion week on March 17. See more photos at http://charlestonfashionweek.com/photos/emerging-designer-rafie-khoshbin.
Design aesthetic:
"Constantly rediscovering contemporary silhouettes and incorporating traditional hand-work."
First fashion encounter: "I always played with fabrics as a child but definitely it was Shirley MacLaine's Coco Chanel in 2008… it completely blew my mind!"
In 5 years: "I feel like if I set a certain goal I may blind myself to an opportunity. In 5 years I began college wanting to pursue medicine and now I am a graduate of fashion design. I just hope to keep moving forward."
Last thought: "I truly believe that in the darkest and most evil time the beauty of humanity compassion soars. As designers, we are as equally responsible as the politicians to raise our voices and use our art as a vessel for those who's voices that have be silenced."

There are quite a few accomplishments I'm proud of. Today, I added a triumphant moment to my absolute top-twenty, will-brag-about-this-forever pile: I booked a tatkal ticket on the infamous Indian Railways site.
|Source: Firstpost
To be fair, I rarely have an issue with them when it comes to regular tickets. Yes, their Captchas are a bit ridiculous, and they have to stop placing them on every single page. Yes, they occasionally log you out for no reason. But still, with normal tickets, it's an easy enough matter to get back in and book, because the number of seats available doesn't change drastically every 5 minutes.
Tatkal tickets, on the other hand, are only released at 10am on the day before the journey. So anyone with an emergency of any sort (such as when the Indian Railways decides to advance the time of your carefully pre-booked train by over six hours... without informing you) logs in and frantically tries to get train tickets for the following day.
There are over 10,000 railway origin-destination pairs in India, so you'd think even this wouldn't be a problem, but it is. Despite the abundance of options, very few people want to get to, say, Rai Bareli, in a hurry. No, the majority want Chennai-Bangalore, Hyderabad-Mumbai, and so on. There are about 400 Tatkal tickets (max) for each of these combinations. There are 243 million internet users in India. You do the math. Supposedly, 40,000-45,000 Tatkal tickets are booked within an hour of their being released.
My theory is that these tickets would get booked in the first ten minutes; it's just that the site adamantly refuses to allow it. At 10am on the dot, IRCTC gets overwhelmed by all the attention. It hangs, it jerks. It throws Captcha after Captcha after you. Every minute, on the minute, no matter what stage of the booking you're at, you will get automatically logged out. It's an exercise in patience.
I don't usually deal with tatkal anything, it sends my BP soaring. On the rare occasions when I do need a tatkal ticket, my parents have bought it for me the old-fashioned way - by 'queueing' up at the railway counter and fighting their way through a crowd that didn't get the memo that queues exist for a reason. But, as I said, the Indian Railways decided to arbitly re-schedule a train that starts at 6:30pm to 1:30pm, and not bother notifying people who'd booked themselves on said train. And I'm having a baby in 20-ish days, so my parents getting here before that is kind of imperative. So I offered to book tatkal tickets.
How hard can it be, right? I logged into the site at 9:35am (good call, because they claimed I read their Captcha wrong 3 times), and then refreshed the page every 2 minutes. FYI - it logs you out every 3 minutes if you let it get idle before 10/after 12. Also, FYI - it logs you out if you refresh the page/run a new search/do anything more than 25 times. And yes, you do have to prove you're a human being again, even if you're on the exact same browser. People have recommended logging in from different browsers so you're always logged in somewhere, but I can tell you this doesn't work - it just logs you out everywhere. People have also said Internet Explorer is the fastest when it comes to IRCTC, but uh, IE isn't the fastest when it comes to anything. Chrome worked just fine, while my IE was still booting up and asking if it could be my default browser (yes, sure, that's going to happen).
Anyway. 9:45am. The downstairs neighbour came over with a plumber to check for leaks because his... long story, and it was in Telugu, so I wasn't even really listening. I waved them out at 9:55am, ninja-like focus trained on my laptop. And realized that thanks to IRCTC's brain numbing refresh-and-repeat routine, I'd been lulled into leaving my debit card inside my wallet, rather than out. I whipped it out and typed in the numbers, as well as the ID proof details so I could easily copy-paste it.
And then, the moment of truth - 10am. IRCTC went bananas. It logged me out 5 times, 3 times at the payment confirmation stage, and had me enter passenger details 6 separate times. So my insane typing speed finally came in handy. About 3 minutes into the process, I started to despair, and thought, fleetingly, "They'll all be gone by now!" But each time I got back to the availability page, it continued to say 330 tickets were available. Which means nothing, by the way, because they probably just hadn't refreshed it yet. Still, it gave me the fortitude to press on. And finally, finally, six glorious minutes later, I'd booked three tickets. I feel like I deserve a sticker or something.
"Woah," A said. "I've never known anyone who managed to book a Tatkal ticket online before."
He wasn't even being sarcastic. There are agents who charge you to book these tickets online, and then tell you sheepishly that they all sold out too fast. I could share my top tips for getting in and out quickly etc, but the truth is, they'd be no good, because the rules keep changing. The point of this post is merely to record for posterity how useless e-com sites can sometimes be in 2014... here's hoping we'll be scoffing at this kind of thing a few years from now.
... Just for the record, IRCTC isn't the only site to earn my wrath. A certain swankily-advertising furniture portal called Pepperfry is so bad it's not funny. It took them four weeks to tell me the office table they'd confirmed for me wasn't in stock and wasn't ever going to be. It took them another two weeks to refund my money for the table, plus the chair which I clearly no longer needed. Three months later, they still haven't picked up the chair that came with the table, Yesterday, they called to see if I liked the table. I explained that I didn't have an opinion. They called an hour later to see if I liked the chair, at least.
I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

When my kids reached the age of about three or four they started to ask us WHY. In the beginning it was about the basic things in our daily life, later they expanded it in almost every direction, and by the time they hit puberty they started questioning everything and everybody. As parents they often drive us crazy but we know for our kids this is the ultimate and most intense development and learning experience.
Most people outgrow this phase and become contributors to society as bankers, taxi drivers or sales people. Their relationship to the WHY develops to a commentary position in which they observe and comment but have no intention to actually answer the WHY. The most prominent demonstration of this are the millions of fans that comment on every move of their favorite sports team – like being the coach – while never actually participating.
Others continue their quest for answers and develop a very passionate relationship to the WHY. While they sometimes struggle, they often find their own personal mission as they join a humanitarian or even spiritual cause and become nurses, firefighters, teachers or religious leaders. Those demonstrate to us what an amazing power is unleashed when life has a purpose around defining and answering the WHY.
Finally there is a group of people that transition the ability to ask for WHY into their professional lives by developing a mission not just for themselves but for their teams or co-workers. Those people usually become scientists, adventurers or entrepreneurs. The ability to align all of their passion, energy and intellectual power behind one – their own – cause, makes them unique and provides a key ingredient to greatness.
Unfortunately greatness in business is not always appreciated, especially when it meets bureaucracy. "Because excellence isn't usually what gets you up the greasy pole. What gets you up is a talent for maneuvering." (William Deresiewicz). In order for greatness to succeed a lot of maneuvering and HOW expertise is needed -- for example, to secure funding, to find the right people, to get all the infrastructure in place, and last but not least to keep things running.
Much too often the Vision and Mission exist only in the head of the founder or even worse is a well polished assembly of marketing words. Building them is hard work and in my experience a great investment with a phenomenal return on that investment. But in order to prevent bureaucracy (structure, environment, circumstances) to dictate what to do, what to think, and what to believe, we need to be able to explain our Vision and Mission - our WHY. Only with that we can rally the people behind our WHY and get them excited to work on WHAT is required to succeed.
So anytime you ask yourself WHAT is the next step for you .... don't!
Ask WHY.

Emigration to another country becomes much more complicated when you have a criminal record. However, emigration may still be possible, depending on a number of factors: the nature of your crime, the time that has passed since your crime, your own national origin, the country you are seeking to immigrate into, any special qualifications you may have, and the existence of criminal record waiver programs in the country where you wish to live.
Determine the precise nature of your crime and your sentence. Criminal law is a complex subset of immigration law, partly because there are so many different varieties of crimes, and also because the legal systems of different countries do not always match up. Your first task is to obtain all the legal records you can relating to your conviction and sentence, and to determine the exact nature and classification of your crime, including any time spent on parole or probation. Certain misdemeanour crimes may be part of your criminal record, but will not necessarily present much trouble for you during the emigration process, especially minor or procedural crimes such as unpaid parking tickets. However, regardless of how small the crime may be, you must declare your entire record in full to the immigration authorities of the country where you seek to move. Failure to do this may result in the immediate rejection of your application.
Determine how your crime relates to the immigration requirements of the country where you seek to move. Each country has different requirements for immigrants, along with different limitations. Some countries are also far more strict that others regarding criminal records. As you research the requirements of your desired country, you may find it easier to select a different country, if its requirements are more lenient. Certain types of crimes may legally bar you completely from certain countries, particularly crimes involving violence, firearms or drug trafficking. It is critical that you make sure that your crime does not create an absolute or near-absolute barrier before you spend money on an immigration application. Some countries may have more relaxed requirements if you are an investor, or if you have special employment skills that are currently in demand.
Research the immigration provisions of your desired country relating to "inadmissibility" and "waivers" of inadmissibility. "Inadmissibility" means that, under normal circumstances, a country cannot admit you for immigration or visiting purposes. In order to overcome this condition, you must seek a waiver. Different countries have different standards and provisions for handling inadmissibility waivers. Make sure to research the waiver requirements carefully, and keep in mind that you may need to go through a lengthy application process before such a waiver is granted.
Develop a legal strategy to comply with all the requirements of the country where you seek to move. If you are not completely barred from the immigration process, and you think you may qualify for a waiver, you now need to develop a detailed plan to comply with the immigration requirements of the country in question. It may be useful to consult an immigration lawyer if you find this process overwhelming or complex. Remember that mistakes, omissions, incomplete documents and missed deadlines during the application process can delay or even void your entire application. It is important to know exactly what you are getting into before you actually begin the formal application process, and to have sufficient money and time to manage the process. You may need to make personal visits to distant embassies, or to pay numerous processing fees along the way.

polka dot dress, a short love storyMay 21, 2018 • By almostmadison
Nine Britton dress via Stitch Fix | Zara flats | Kate Spade frilled hoop earrings | Karen Walker sunglasses
Lately, I find myself gravitating towards all prints preppy, and this dress is no different. I've had a handful of polka dot pieces in the past, but none as cute as this! The second I put it on, I fell in love. Typically, a low cut silhouette that doesn't accommodate a bra is a big ol' NO from me, but the unexpectedly supportive (& adorable) front tie, summery linen, and delicate shoulder pleats just worked, a delightful surprise! The only problem? The dress was a tad long for my liking. This is clearly not the case anymore. I took the dress to my trusty tailor for a hem, who didn't object when I kept saying "Maybe just a little shorter? Hmm, I don't know, it still feels long." WHY DIDN'T SHE STOP ME? What a fool I was. Now a slight lift of the arms or a bend forward completely exposes all things that should be left unexposed. This dress is my summer fling — much too short and slightly inappropriate.
Is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? I am not so sure.

Follow up to yesterday's post about Toby getting lost at the zoo:
He went to sleep really easily and seemed to sleep really well, so he was either through his upset, or totally exhausted from it. I think a bit of both.
Some more details came out before he said he didn't want to talk about it any more. He said that he had called and called for his friends but that they couldn't hear him; also that when he was at the "zoo man's office" there was no chair for him, so he had to sit on the floor "next to a big door" until his teacher came for him. Lastly, and possibly most traumatic for him, he didn't get to see the lions because his friends were looking at lions while he was lost. So I'm going to take him tomorrow after we've dropped Emma off at her class.

Holiday Guests are on the Way – Teach your Dog How to Greet Them!
Brought to you by the AKC GoodDog! Helpline – the AKC's 7-day-a-week training support service
By Hilarie Erb, AKC GoodDog! Helpline Trainer
Holidays are coming, and for many that means lots of company. It will be so nice to see friends and family! Your dog agrees and leaps in the air to get closer to their faces.
Now is the time to teach him the acceptable way to greet your visitors. Once he understands, he will gladly do what it takes to get a chance to show his love.
It's easy to get upset with your dog for his exuberant welcomes, but know that he is just demonstrating his happiness at having a visitor. Dogs greet each other by licking their faces, and by jumping up they are simply trying to get to where they can greet humans this way.
Sometimes dogs try even harder when people respond by pushing them away – it is still attention, even if it is negative. Instead of punishing him for jumping, teach him what you want him to do.
It is up to us to teach what we consider proper greetings. Begin with your own family. When you return home after an absence, be calm. Ignore the jumping. Do not look at or speak to the dog. Cross your arms and don't let him meet your hand in the air for petting. At first, it will seem like he will never settle down, but he will, and when all four feet are on the floor, calmly greet and pet him. Immediately say "Uh oh!" and withdraw your attention if he pops back up again. It may take a couple of weeks to change his behavior because he's been jumping on you for a long time, but this does work.
"Dogs greet each other by licking their faces, and by jumping up they are simply trying to get to where they can greet humans this way. "
Give the dog something to do at greeting time by asking for a sit when you or your friends come into the house. Again, no attention whatsoever should be given unless he is sitting.
It's a little harder with other people, because they need to be trained too. Let friends and family members know that you are training your dog. Do not let them give any attention when he is jumping. Until he is trained, put him in his crate with a treat when the doorbell rings.
The doorbell is a cue that someone is there and needs to be greeted. By now, you have already taught the dog that the doorbell is a big deal because you drop everything and rush straight to the door every time it rings. Though unintentional, this is a great example of the effectiveness of consistency in training.
Change how you react to the doorbell. Stay very calm yourself when it rings, sometimes not even going to the door. Dogs are very good at picking up on the cues we give them as to how they should react to things.
Another very good way to prevent jumping is to teach "go to your place." Here is how: http://www.akc.org/dog-owners/canine-partners/spotlight/teach-your-dog-to-go-to-its-place/
Enlist family members and friends to ring the doorbell so you can practice. At first, you probably won't even get to the door. That's okay. Just get your dog to go to his place when the bell rings, and if he gets up and heads for the door, give him an "Uh oh!" and get him back on the mat. Eventually, he will learn that good things happen when he stays at his "place."
Soon your dog will know exactly what to do in order to be greeted like everyone else in the family.

Dark energy pushing universe apart
X-ray measurements of distant galaxy clusters confirm theories that dark energy is forcing the universe to expand infinitely, say scientists.
Their findings boost the theory that dark energy is pushing apart all the matter in the universe and will continue doing so until no other galaxies except the nearby Andromeda galaxy will be visible from earth.
And they support the idea that dark energy is the so-called cosmological constant - a correction to Einstein's theories that help explain why the universe is expanding.
"Putting all of this data together gives us the strongest evidence yet that dark energy is the cosmological constant," says Dr Alexey Vikhlinin of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the research.
"A lot more testing is needed, but so far Einstein's theory is looking as good as ever."
Professor David Spergel, an astrophysicist at Princeton University in New Jersey who did not work on the study, agrees.
"Even nothing - empty space - weighs something, and because we have a lot of nothing, it is a major factor in the evolution of our universe and causes space itself to accelerate," says Spergel.
Vikhlinin's team used NASA's orbiting Chandra x-ray observatory to look at galaxy superclusters - collapsed globs that are the largest known objects in the universe.
Measuring mass
Because looking far away in space is the equivalent of looking back in time, they were able to measure how the mass of these objects changed over time.
"This result could be described as 'arrested development of the Universe,'" says Vikhlinin. "The growth of the structures has slowed down."
Cosmologists once believed that the universe would expand for a while from the Big Bang explosion about 13 billion years ago, reach a critical point and then contract back to a tiny point.
But measurements suggested that something else was going on - something was acting like a spring to push galaxies apart. This something has been named dark energy and astrophysicists still do not know exactly what it is.
But it is accounted for in Einstein's theories, says Dr William Forman, who works with Vikhlinin. "Particle physics predicted that even the empty vacuum of space contains energy," says Forman.
The measurements of these superclusters of galaxies suggest that something is slowing their growth. This aligns with projection of what a universe dominated by dark energy would look like.
If dark energy is explained by the cosmological constant, the expansion of the universe will continue to accelerate and our own Milky Way and next-door Andromeda will drift away from the next-nearest galaxies in the Virgo cluster.
"The observable universe, in terms of mass, is already shrinking," says Spergel.

The purpose of this article is to describe steps needed to be done before you'll disable parameter ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION in Oracle database.
Documentation: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd8/Triggers; https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd8/Bi-directional+considerations; https://blogs.oracle.com/UPGRADE/entry/new_11_2_0_4; https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd8/Configuration+Variable+Reference
When you would to disable parameter ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION In Oracle database you need to:
- Modify all triggers' code for replicated tables in target database(s) by workaround describe in https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ugd8/Triggers.
- disable parameter "dbvrep> set APPLY.APPLY_SET_TRIGGER_FIRE_ONCE NO" in dbvisit console
- restart apply process
Now you change parameter ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION.
In case you miss steps above and changed Oracle's parameter ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION to false apply will crash with below error:

Based on my own experience, maternity clothes are expensive. Being a plus-sized mummy-to-be I've struggled to find clothes that fit well and actually suit me. I really didn't want to look like a beached whale wearing a tent again so have strayed away from really loose fitting clothing. I don't want to appear larger than I actually am!
So, with only 11 weeks of my pregnancy left, my daytime maternity wardrobe is quite limited. I was very lucky that a friend gave me her entire maternity wardrobe with pieces that she'd only worn on a couple of occasions so I've been able to add to the collection with a few key items on my very limited budget that I'm hoping will see me through until February.
1. Next Sequin Jumper 2. Asda Maternity Jersey Tops 3. JoJo Maman Bebe Jeans
4. Asda Maternity Cotton Tops 5. Next Suede High Top Trainers 6. Next Pumps 7. Asda Maternity Leggings
Disclaimer: For the purpose of a review, I was sent a pair of Jeans from JoJo Maman Bebe to try out and I was thoroughly impressed. The jeans are a really good fit, very comfortable to wear and a lovely length in the leg. As a plus sized model (ha ha) I was worried about how their sizing would come up but I needn't of worried. The best feature of the straight leg maternity jeans for me was the deep over-the-bump jersey waistline which helps keep my BabyShilts bump all tucked up perfect for these cold and blustery Autumn days.

Lawsuit Filed Against Aaron's, Inc. Regarding Alleged Improper Practices
Lawsuit claims that Aaron's, Inc. repeatedly breaches rent-to-own contracts, violates state usury laws, and engages in unfair business practices.
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) November 11, 2011
Atlanta law firm Webb, Klase & Lemond, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against Aaron's, Inc., one of America's leading rent-to-own companies with over 1,900 total stores. Aaron's leases furniture, appliances, and electronics to consumers usually with the promise that, after a certain number of payments have been successfully completed, the consumer will own the items.
The new lawsuit alleges that Aaron's has breached its lease agreements by refusing to provide pay-off information to consumers and through other improper practices. The suit further asserts that the company has used unfair business practices, false advertising, and misrepresentations to induce customers to enter lease agreements that are not as favorable for the consumer as represented. The claims also include unjust enrichment. The case, styled Clark v. Aaron's, Inc., is pending in the Superior Court of Fulton County Georgia and has been assigned Case Number 2011-CV-207622.
According to the suit, Aaron's rent-to-own business model is in reality the extension of credit through consumer loans disguised as leases for the purchase of goods. The suit alleges that the difference between the market value of the goods and the total amount of payments made by a consumer constitutes interest. State usury laws, such as the civil and criminal usury statutes in Georgia, impose a cap on the amount of interest that may be charged by a lender. The suit alleges that Aaron's repeatedly violates these laws.
Further, the suit alleges that Aaron's deceptively markets its well-known offer of "120-days same as cash." According to the complaint, this offer purports to allow consumers to buy their furniture, appliances, or electronics from Aaron's for their market value so long as the consumer pays in full within four months. The deception, as alleged in the suit, is that Aaron's regularly and proactively attempts to prevent consumers from taking advantage of the 120-day offer by failing to provide them with their outstanding balance or pay-off amount in a timely and appropriate manner.
If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this press release, please contact John Lyon, Esq. by e-mail or by calling (770) 444-9325.
Monetary Loss: $1000.
I am currently having an issue with the Aarons store in Warner Robins, GA. I would like your email so I can add fuel to this fire that they have created themselves.
I am an aarons customer very unhappily and will be contacting this phone number provided thank you...

An apartment manager typically takes responsibility for the day-to-day operation of an apartment complex. His job often involves collecting rent and depositing payments as well as contacting residents who have fallen behind on their rental payments. He may also handle requests, comments, and complaints from tenants. If a person needs maintenance or there is an emergency situation in one of the apartments, the manager is generally expected to find a solution. He may also advertise for new tenants and screen applicants.
One of an apartment manager's most important jobs is finding tenants to fill vacancies. To do this, he often places ads in newspapers, phone directories, and apartment living guides, but may also use fliers, signs, Web sites, and other resources for generating interest. He may also create special promotions to make moving into a complex he manages a more attractive proposition. When a prospective tenant is interested in a vacancy, the manager may give him a tour of the apartment and the grounds, collect his application, screen him, and either decide whether or not to rent to him or pass along the owner's decision.
An apartment manager typically has a range of financial responsibilities. He may collect rents and security deposits. If a tenant is late, he may collect a late fee or begin other delinquency proceedings. An apartment manager may also pay bills the apartment complex incurs. For example, if the complex requires construction services, he could be responsible for paying the construction company.
In many cases, an apartment manager acts as a general supervisor of the complex's employees as well. He may hire and supervise customer service representatives, accountants, maintenance staff, cleaners, and groundskeepers. For example, he may set schedules for work, assign tasks, and maintain employment records. If someone is not performing as expected, he often has the job of firing as well.
Much of an apartment manager's job requires him to act as a problem solver. He may field requests and complaints from tenants and employees alike. If, for example, a tenant complains about a broken dishwasher, it is generally his responsibility to decide whether or not to fix or replace it, and to hire or assign someone to complete the task. Likewise, if an employee complains that his paycheck was lacking some of the money he earned, it is often the apartment manager's job to check and solve the problem.
Generally, there are no specific requirements for becoming an apartment manager. Many employers only require applicants to have high school diplomas or the equivalent, but earning a college degree may make an applicant more attractive. Business, management, and customer service experience may prove helpful as well.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

It was barely a couple of months ago when Land Rover took the wraps off the Range Rover Velar. And as is the case with its other SUVs, the Range Rover Velar will have an SVR edition as well. What is surprising is not the fact that Land Rover is working on a performance edition of the Velar, but the fact that the Velar SVR has been spotted testing even before the regular Velar goes on sale. The Range Rover Velar that you see here is a prototype which was being put through its paces at the legendary Nurburgring racetrack in Germany. And the very fact that a Land Rover SUV is being tested at a racetrack makes for an interesting story in itself. Like other SVR models, the Velar SVR too will receive updates to the bodywork, making it more aerodynamic and a monster of an engine in the 5.0-litre V8 petrol unit that will belt out close to 550 bhp and 680 Nm.
The regular Range Rover Velar gets a host of petrol and diesel engines to choose from. You get a 2.0-litre diesel engine in two states of tune, producing 178 bhp /430 Nm and 237 bhp /500 Nm. There is a bigger 3.0-litre diesel engine as well, making 296 bhp /700 Nm.
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
Similarly, there will be a 2.0-litre petrol engine with two states of tune again. One makes 247 bhp /365 Nm and the other makes 296 bhp /400 Nm. There will be another supercharged V6 engine which will make 375 bhp /450 Nm. The Velar is expected to be launched in India towards the end of 2017.
The Range Rover Velar is luxuriously appointed and there is no doubt that the Velar SVR will follow suit as well. There is no word on the Velar SVR coming to India.

13 Wild and Crazy Things Women do when They Are in Love ...
There are tons of things women do when in love with their man. While a lot of women do not exactly change when they are in love, there are things women do when in love that they might not do if their man wasn't in their life. Below, we're going to talk about 13 wild and crazy things women do when in love so you can really tell if you are one of the lucky in love chicks!
1. Sports May Become Her New Hobby
Is your guy really into sports? One of the things women do when in love is mimic their man a little, by being into sports too. Whether it is playing sports or watching them, when a girl is in love, typically she will drop her disgust for sports and pick up a bat – or learn how to keep score in football!
