Zunaed Siddique and Mushfiqur Rahim delayed England's victory charge in the first Test with an unbroken 81-run stand to help Bangladesh score 191 for five in their second innings on Monday.
Zunaed eked out a patient half-century to remain 68 not out alongside Rahim (47 not out) at close on the fourth day.
The hosts are chasing 513 to win after England declared their second innings on 209 for seven.
Coming together around 20 minutes before the tea break, the pair batted out the entire final session to frustrate England.
"At no stage did we sit back and say we were going to finish this game today. We said we wanted to bowl as many dot balls as possible, build pressure on Bangladesh, and that will get us wickets," England pacer Steven Finn told reporters.
"They aren't going to be walked over because they've got good batsmen. We just wanted to bowl dot balls, good deliveries, and hopefully they'll get themselves out," he added.
Tim Bresnan struck twice in the second session before skipper Shakib Al Hasan fell to a controversial lbw decision off Graeme Swann.
Bresnan ended a stubborn 54-run third-wicket partnership when he had Aftab Ahmed caught by wicketkeeper Matt Prior for 26 and then bowled Mahmudullah for five.
Bangladesh suffered a huge blow when Shakib was given out leg before off Swann, with replays suggesting he got a full glove on his sweep shot.
Swann had earlier bowled Tamim Iqbal for 14 in his second over.
Imrul Kayes survived strong appeals for lbw and a catch at leg-gully before he finally edged Finn to Prior for 23.
"We already lost five wickets and their score is also very high. We will try to occupy the crease. If we can get a good partnership then the positives will come out hopefully," said Zunaed.
England, resuming on 131-5, lost overnight batsman Prior (seven) in the fourth over, but Ian Bell and Swann batted aggressively to help the tourists declare their second innings with an hour remaining in the first session.
England (1st innings): 599-6 declared (A. Cook 173, K. Pietersen 99, P. Collingwood 145, I. Bell 84)
Bangladesh (1st innings): 296 (T. Iqbal 86, Mahmudullah 51, M. Rahim 79; G. Swann 5-90)
England (2nd innings): 209-7 declared (S. Hasan 4-62)

|You've gotten a lot farther than you should have, but then you haven't met Frank Horrigan either. Your ride's over, mutie. Time to die.
|~ Frank Horrigan
Frank Horrigan is the secondary antagonist and the final boss in Fallout 2.
He is a specially modified super mutant with cyborg armor who works for the Enclave, the fascist post-apocalyptic remnants of the United States government.
Horrigan was originally a high-ranking and exceptionally vicious secret service agent working for the Enclave president, who became a mutant after coming into contact with the F.E.V. Virus at the Mariposa Military Base. The Enclave scientists brought him back to their labs to be studied and experimented on and decided to further mutate him into their ultimate killing machine. Later, Frank Horrigan was permanently encased in a special suit of robotic power armor designed specifically for him.
In the game, Frank Horrigan is first seen murdering a family of helpless peasants (including a little boy) while the Chosen One watches in horror. Later, he can be seen in a recording where he kills a Brotherhood of Steel soldier who had previously met and helped them. In another recording, he kills the friendly Deathclaws of Vault 13. It is also assumed he was the one who leads the attack on the Chosen One's home village.
The Chosen One finally confronted Frank Horrigan inside the Enclave Oil Rig at the very end of the game, after he killed the Enclave president. He claims that the Chosen One has "gotten a lot farther than [he] should've" but "then again, [he] hasn't met Frank Horrigan". He finishes his banter off by stating the time for talking is over and proceeds to attack. However, a squad of Enclve soldiers, led by Sergeant Granite, rush to the Chosen One's aid, having been convinced their life is worth more than their former commanders.
Despite this, the fight against Horrigan is incredibly difficult and drawn out, with him repeatedly surviving punishment from the Chosen One, his party, the Enclave soldiers, and the mini-gun turrets the Chosen One may or may not have hacked to his side. He's also very likely to kill the Enclave soldiers and most of the party unless the Chosen One is incredibly skilled. However, after being shot repeatedly by over a dozen NPC's wielding the most powerful weapons in the game, he finally goes down. When Horrigan is defeated, his gut explodes and he breaks in half at the waist. Even then, he still manages to mock the Chosen and tell them they will also die when the oil rig self-destructs. He is then either finished off by Sergeant Granite or the Chosen One or has his head explode.
All of the others manage to escape before the oil rig is destroyed, taking Horrigan's remains with it.

Walking into the pet store store Saturday, one of my favorite all-time Soul tunes was
on their music system: "Open the Door to Your Heart" by Darrell Banks (Revilot Records, 1966). You might not say that Banks was a brilliant vocalist, or that the song is
remarkable, but could that guy emote. What a joy to hear it at random.
It was also just by chance that Gina and I ended up at a great restaurant following a meeting she had in Tacoma. Next door to the coffee place where she met with her webmeister was an interesting looking restaurant (Asado's, on Sixth Street) with one end of the building open. The steak there was out of this world--it ended up being one of our favorite discoveries. So then, a week later, I've got a Seattle sports radio talk show on in the background, but not really listening because they were hyping the over-hyped phenomenon known as football, and I was too lazy to get up and change the station. Somehow I heard someone mention Asado's in Tacoma and how the steak there was fantastic. What are the odds of going out for dinner infrequently but catching raves (it wasn't a recorded or live ad, just a mention) about the same place on the radio?
I had Hank Williams on the car stereo and was out doing some errands Friday. I was grocery shopping and a woman older than me--perhaps Hank was from her favorite era of music--returned her grocery cart to the bunch about the same time I did. She was slightly hunched over, but still walking briskly. I watched her walk back to her car at the same time I returned to mine. But there was no car. She was putting on a helmet and jumped on a motorcycle with (presumably) her husband driving. Pretty cool--and so much for stereotypes. I got to catch a fun sight...at random.

The Food Pyramid Storage – Shelf System
Most of us store our fruits and vegetables in our refrigerator. But is the optimal temperature for each of them? The design team FridayProject of Luca Boscardin and Valentina Raffaelli created a bookshelf that is a food storage system called the Food Pyramid, which gives structure and storage to food.
The storage system is based on the food pyramid. Storage spaces are designed to give more space to the things that we are to eat more, and less to the foods that we are told to eat less of. The piece is made out of painted steel, and has wooden drawers for bread pasta and cereals; dark drawers for the potatoes and onions; a terracotta box for vegetables; and shelves with space for eggs, herbs, and spices.
You can see more pictures of the shelf system in action on FridayProject's website.

Look at these Christians, how they disagree with each other.
This is about apologetics, a bit anyway.
Bear with me, I will get to a point.
A couple of years ago I spent a long time looking at the book of Colossians. An interesting letter in that it deals with a heresy in the early Church. What that heresy was is hard to find out, because St Paul does not tell us what it was.
Paul is writing a letter to a church dealing with false teaching, but there's something missing from the letter — what the false teaching is is absent. Paul does not bother to tell them what it is.
Now you could tell me that the people in the church in Collossae (sp?) knew what the false teaching was. But that still does not explain why Paul never mentions it.
Still with me?
You see in this letter Paul does not waste time on the negative, saying at length why he disagreed with someone would have detracted from his point. That the antidote to bad teaching is not having a go at the bad teachers, the antidote to bad teaching is good teaching.
So what has this to do with apologetics?
The internet does not seem to be the best place for apologetics because the internet is geared more to the flame war than it is to being a place of good teaching and friendly discussion.
Look at Christian internet Fora, or even Christian blogs, Liberal has a go at conservative, and when they've taken a breather they both take a swing at the traditionalists before putting the boot in to the Pentecostalists and Charismatics. Eventually the Quaker breaks her silence to bad mouth them all.
It should not be like this.
Not that I'm not critical. I can be very critical, especially of Evangelicalism and Anglicanism, but guess what; I'm an Evangelical Anglican. And I love both Anglicanism and Evangelicalism. I really love them, I am not trying to destroy anything.
So if you are from another tradition and want to criticise mine I have this to say. You are wasting your time. I already know this, and more, because this is where I spend my time and I don't go around with my eyes shut.
I don't need your criticism of my tradition, I'm critical enough of my tradition as it is. All your criticism does put my back up.
But I do want to know about you. How you worship, how you feel, what your tradition makes you feel, how you encounter God. Even if you think your tradition has got something wrong and you need to rant about it, or if it has got something right and you cannot contain your joy. All this I love to hear.
But there's too much backstabbing going on for there to be any apologetics on the internet as it is. I pray that that would change.
A couple of weeks ago I spent a whole week writing a series of blogs looking again at what the Bible says about homosexuality and whether it was possible from an evangelical perspective to come to a conclusion other than the traditional one.
I disagreed with the stance of the Evangelical Alliance on this. I published what I thought, and I remained a member of the Evangelical Alliance. I was criticising an organisation that I love from the inside and I have no desire to tear it down.
Why can't we have room to disagree?
This Sunday just gone, ten days after I finished the blogs on homosexuality and the Bible, we has this reading in church:
But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? For when one says, "I follow Paul", and another, "I follow Apollos", are you not being merely human?
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
I Corinthians 3:-5, ESV
The desire to have factions in the church is not new, the internet didn't invent it. But there is an anonymity on the internet which makes insulting even more prevalent online than it is in the rest of society. Even among Christians.
This should not happen.
Show me where you are within your tradition, show me the joy, love, excitement, frustration and pain of being a Catholic, or Baptist, or Plymouth Brethren and I'll share mine. We can be different and still get along, can't we?

Michael Szwarc
Michael Szwarc, F.R.S (1909-2000)
Szwarc, 91, was born in Poland in 1909. After initial studies at the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute, he emigrated to what is now Israel in 1935. He earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1945 from Hebrew University in Israel, and where he had been an assistant since 1935. He was a lecturer at the University of Manchester, England from 1947 to 1952 and earned a D.Sc. in physical chemistry there in 1949.
He joined the faculty of the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse, as Professor of Physical and Polymer Chemistry in 1952. In 1964 he was awarded a Distingished Professorship by the State University of New York and in 1967 he founded and became the first director of the SUNY Polymer Research Center. In 1970 Michael received the American Chemical Society Award in Polymer Chemistry. He became Professor, Emeritus in 1980.
Szwarc discovered living polymerization, a reaction that allows the resultant polymers to maintain chain-end reactivity even after completion of the reaction (Nature, 178:1168-69, 1956). This advance allows the synthesis of polymers with controlled molecular weights, and with functional groups placed at particular positions in the polymer chain. An example of an "end-functionalized polymer"--created by a living polymerization reaction--is the liquid rubbers used in some industrial applications. Before Szwarc's discovery, this precise control of polymer synthesis was impossible, creating a serious obstacle to the development of advanced polymeric materials.
After his retirement in 1979, he joined the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute at USC. In 1990, Michael received the American Chemical Society Herman F. Mark Division of Polymer Chemistry Award.
Michael received the Kyoto Prize for advanced technology in 1991 in recognition of his fundamental contributions to polymer science. This award is often described as the Japanese Nobel Prize. The citation credited Szwarc with "paving the way for new functional materials with indispensable applications in advanced technology, and providing many scientists and engineers . . . with significant and unprecedented methodologies for the design and synthesis of new polymeric materials." Although no longer actively involved in research at the time of receiving the award, he continued writing articles and books on ionic polymerization until shortly before his death.
Professor Szwarc also made fundamental contributions to the development of "block polymers," in which two or more different polymer chains are connected to each other through chemical bonds by the sequential addition of monomers to living polymers. This has led to the manufacture of a variety of unique polymeric materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers.
Michael is survived by his wife, 2 daughters, and a son. Said Prof. Richard Stein, U. Massachusetts, "Michael was indeed a pioneer in polymer chemistry, who shall be remembered for promoting the concept of "living polymers" and elucidating the mechanism of anionic polymerization. Those of you who knew him will remember his wit, strong personality, and intellectual strength."
He will be missed.
From the Abstract of Michael's Kyoto Award Lecture
My introduction to polymer chemistry and the discovery of living polymers were the results of unexpected events. Undoubtedly, I was lucky. However, here is a point deserving stressing. The harder one works the more luck one gets. This should be remembered, especially by young people. Another point is worthy of emphasis. Unexpected events happen quite often. It is important to note them and to realize their significance. Then there is another problem. Should we investigate the unexpected phenomenon or should we leave it, perhaps keep it in mind, and continue with our previously planned work. This decision is crucial. To follow every unexpected event may lead to a chase of wild geese. One may spend time and effort on insignificant problems. On the other hand, a gold mine may be missed by not pursuing the new opening. There are no rules that guide one's decision. It helps to understand the phenomenon and to use one's intelligence and intuition. These problems are general. They are encountered in ordinary life as well as in research and their proper judgment is often vital.

I know I should be letting go of this situation. I should be trusting in God. I know that whether we go or we stay...it will be His plan and His word that leads us.
However, I feel Satan prying on my weaknesses. I feel him playing with my ideal picture of everything just falling into place. I feel him nudging those doubts and fears into my heart each day. I feel him making me question whether or not we can really do this!
I started crying on the way to work this morning as Hubby and I discussed the possibility of spending some time apart from each other because the job would require him to move before it would be possible for me and the kids. I'm not scared because I think I can't be on my own. I don't want to do it! I don't want to be without him for even one weekend....let alone weeks! But I want to support him! I want to shoo him out the door like everything is going to be fine and dandy and we will be back in each others arms that evening!
But I'm not going to allow him to succeed. God is bigger....and He is in control. And we WILL follow Him. So, I've been listening a lot to this song.....asking God to set me free.....
Free from my fears
Free from Satans attacks
Free from my uncertainty
Free from my desire to control
Free from my questions
Free from the world....
Check out my highlight sponsor this month!!

I love the holiday season. We start with Thanksgiving, then we move to Black Friday, which leads up to Christmas, and then we get to celebrate the New Year! I love this time of year and the movies that become traditions. You know the ones that leave you with that good feeling.
I always love watching Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas. It has become a tradition in my house to watch the new movies (as well as some of the old). I like how this brings everyone together through family friendly movies. I also love seeing books I have read come to life.
While I love the classics like The Grinch and Frosty the Snowman, I also love getting to watch brand new movies. One of the movies I'm excited about this year is The Man Who Invented Christmas. This film tells the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.
Just watching the featurette transports me into a beautiful Christmas setting that makes me excited for Christmas.
The Man Who Invented Christmas releases in theaters on November 22nd–just in time for the holidays!
Now that I shared my love of classic Christmas movies as well as new ones, I want to help you expand your movie collection this holiday season by giving away a DVD pack! Christopher Plummer from The Sound of Music, is starring alongside Dan Stevens from Beauty and the Beast and Downton Abbey in The Man Who Invented Christmas. The Sound of Music is a favorite at my house as well, so the DVD prize pack will include a copy of: The Sound of Music, Beauty and the Beast, and, of course, A Christmas Carol!
Just use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. Remember this giveaway is open to those with a US shipping address only.

Report: Alshon Jeffery Underwent Shoulder Surgery, Played with Injury All SeasonFebruary 21, 2018
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery reportedly underwent surgery on a torn rotator cuff Wednesday morning after playing through the injury for the entire 2017 NFL season.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the news and noted Jeffery suffered the ailment during training camp. He still appeared in all 16 of the team's regular-season contests and its three playoff games en route to winning Super Bowl LII over the New England Patriots earlier this month.
Jeffery signed with the Eagles in March to end a five-year stay with the Chicago Bears. He racked up 304 catches for 4,549 yards and 26 touchdowns across 63 games for the organization that selected him in the second round of the 2012 NFL draft. He immediately emerged as the top wide receiver target in Philly.
He caught 57 passes for 789 yards and nine touchdowns during his first season with the Eagles and signed a four-year, $52 million extension with the organization in December.
Injuries are one thing that held the 28-year-old University of South Carolina product back at times in Chicago. He missed six games during his rookie campaign because of hand and knee ailments. He also sat out seven games during the 2015 season because of various issues.
A timetable for his recovery from the latest setback wasn't immediately announced.

About Akrapovic
Akrapovic is a pioneer in the innovative use of titanium and super-alloys. The brand is at the forefront of carbon-fiber component development and production. Akrapovic exhaust systems are renowned for increasing performance, unmistakable sound, innovative design, lightweight technology, quality workmanship, and durability.
Founded in Slovenia by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovic , the aftermarket muffler and exhaust pipe brand has grown to international prominence, winning major world championship titles and setting the highest design standards, which have led to multiple Red Dot awards (for outstanding international product design and communication).
A pioneer in its field, Akrapovic is widely recognized as a highly innovative materials technology company. The brand is synonymous with the highest level of design, performance enhancement and the creation of an unmistakable deeply resonant exhaust sound. The company's aftermarket mufflers and exhaust pipes are designed and manufactured for motorcycles and performance cars by a passionate and highly-skilled workforce of over 1000 employees using the latest technology, processes and finest materials. The Racing R&D department works with dozens of racing teams. Over 100 world champions have already relied on Akrapovic exhaust systems. And this is just the beginning of a long exciting ride. Shop below for Akrapovic mufflers, exhausts, sound kits and tail pipe sets.
Racing has always been the lifeblood of Akrapovic and, as the company reached its 25thanniversary in 2016, it also celebrated its 100th world championship title, a feat achieved when Jorge Lorenzo (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) won the MotoGP championship in 2015. The technical ability and support Akrapovic provides to teams competing in MotoGP, EWC, WorldSBK, MXGP, Enduro, Supercross, Dakar rally, DTM, and FIA WEC give them the competitive edge, which follows the same heritage and know-how that is transferred into road and off-road systems.
Increased performance, user-friendly controllable power delivery, signature sound, and durable lightweight exhausts are all directly related to the research, development, and testing that every Akrapovic exhaust is subjected to in the racing arena, giving it a pedigree that is rarely matched.
The company operates from state-of-the-art production facilities and technologically advanced R&D facilities in Slovenia, which include an in-house titanium foundry, a metallurgical laboratory, several motorcycle and car dynamometers, and high-tech production machinery. Akrapovic has over 1000 employees and markets its products in more than 80 countries worldwide.
Akrapovic Materials
The company made a great leap forward in 2009, when it opened its own in-house cutting-edge titanium foundry; it is still the only exhaust system supplier with its own in-house foundry. The titanium foundry facility participates in all phases of the investment casting process, from wax injection to the final inspection of the cast parts with X-ray radioscopy and other control procedures, such as chemical analyses, mechanical properties, and dimensional accuracy.
Akrapovic has a fully equipped metallurgical laboratory for testing the material properties and quality of products. The company believes that metallography is a great tool for understanding the limits of exhaust systems and materials. They achieve all of this using exclusive in-house knowledge and technologies, and more than twenty years of experience in processing special materials for exhaust systems.
The company's exhaust systems are crafted from proprietary titanium alloys. These are three times stronger than other "commercial" alloys available. Their high quality and strength make them more difficult to form than common alloys, but they ensure products that are substantially more durable, dimensionally more stable, and have significantly increased heat resistance.
Its carbon-fiber components are produced in-house with temperature-resistant carbon-fiber resins. Through innovative production techniques, the company can produce parts with very complex shapes in various sizes. These hand crafted high-quality materials are used as parts of exhaust systems such as carbon-fiber muffler outer sleeves and heatshields on motorcycles, and the appearance of a car can be further improved with optional handcrafted carbon-fiber rear diffusers and carbon-fiber tailpipes.
The family of nickel-based superalloys that are alloyed with chrome, molybdenum, and niobium are also commercially known as Inconel alloys. These kinds of alloys have exceptional mechanical properties at extremely low and high temperatures. They are also extremely resistant to corrosion and corrosive acids (both surface resistance and at the crystal level) and have very high oxidation resistance.

Interpretive Summary: Edible films can act as moisture barriers and packaging materials for foods. In order for them to be effective they must have good enough moisture barrier and tensile properties for any given food application. This work investigated the effects of adding nanoparticles to edible films to improve their properties. In addition, film-forming solutions were made into nanoemulsions and changes in film properties were measured. Once again formation of nanoemulsion films improved film barrier properties. Application of nanoscience to edible films offers potential to improve film properties in the future.
Technical Abstract: Challenges for current composite films in the food industry are the relatively high water vapor permeability and poor mechanical integrity of the edible films. Using nanoscience, new forms of tightly linked three dimensional networks can be developed to prevent migration of water in food products while improving film mechanical integrity. Incorporation of nanosize inclusions, fillers or emulsion particles, can provide higher surface interaction areas with the surrounding matrix. This study investigated the incorporation of microcrystalline cellulose and chitosan nanofillers into hydrox propyl methylcellulose films. The study also studied the effect of lipid particle size on the water vapor permeability of soy-based nanoemulsion films. The tensile, water vapor and oxygen permeability properties of edible films were significantly improved through the application of nanoscience to these systems.

The Greek government submitted its reform proposals to Brussels late on Thursday night, amid signs that the two sides in the negotiations were moving closer towards one another.
The proposals appear to go further than the austerity demands rejected by the Greeks in last Sunday's referendum. Quick calculations show they amount to around €13bn in fiscal measures in return for what could be a three-year loan worth €50bn-70bn.
Protestors are seen through a European flag during a pro-European Union (EU) rally at Syntagma Square in Athens, Greece (Bloomberg)
The reform plan was approved by the Greek cabinet just hours before a deadline expired at midnight on Thursday.
The letter was signed by Alexis Tsipras, addressed to Jean Claude Juncker, Mario Draghi, and Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund. They represent the three "institutions" that were formerly known as the Troika.
Should they be accepted by Greece's creditors, the proposals will be handed on to the eurogroup of finance ministers on Saturday. All 19 will have to give their unanimous approval before member states parliaments from Germany to Finland vote to approve a deal.
Here's a quick digest of the Greek proposals:
Primary budget surplus
The government has agreed to hit targets of 1pc, 2pc, 3pc, and 3.5pc from 2015 to 2018.
This is in line with what has already been proposed, but they are still very ambitious, particularly as economic activity is set to have deteriorated even further while the country is under capital controls and the banking system is temporarily shut down.
As has been the case since Greece's first rescue in 2010, the government will have to continually keep meeting these austerity targets to qualify for additional tranches of cash over the next three years.
The government will abolish VAT exemption for Greek islands - the 30pc discounted rate will go, as demanded by creditors but previously fiercely resisted by the government.
The proposals say they will start with "islands with the highest incomes and which are the most popular tourist destinations" first, but poorer, more remote islands will retain their exemptions for slightly longer.
Hotels will remain in lower 13pc bracket, but restaurants will be hit by the highest 23pc bracket. Books, medicines and the theatre will remain at a super reduced 6pc rate.
Greek farmers will also have all fuel subsidies abolished, another concession demanded by creditors in previous plans.
Importantly, the proposals note that these VAT measures will be reviewed before the end of 2016, if "additional revenues are collected through tax evasion" and other improved collection measures result in higher tax income.
Higher income tax
Should any of the proposals result in "fiscal shortfalls" the government is proposing hikes on income tax for the poorest earners. This would result in:
• incomes below €12,000 taxed at 15pc (up from 11pc)
• incomes above €12,000 taxed at 35pc (up from 33pc)
• corporation tax would also be increased to 29pc from 28pc
Athens has agreed to phase out their supplementary pensions for the poorest by December 2019, rather than 2020. There is no mention of replacing them, and importantly, the top 20pc beneficiaries will also not be protected from the cuts.
Significantly, the government has also agreed to hike the basic pensions retirement age to 67 by 2022.
Interestingly, the government also seems to have agreed to nullify previous court rulings that have deemed the 40pc cut in pensions unconstitutional. The reforms read: "authorities will adopt legislation to fully offset the fiscal effects of the implementation of court rulings on the 2012 pension reform".
Defence spending
This will be cut by €100m this year and €200m in 2016. Creditors previously demanded a €400m cut next year, but Mr Tsipras seems not to have conceded to the plans in a bid to keep his right-wing nationalist coalition partners on board/
Corporation tax:
This will be raised to 28pc, rather than 29pc first set out by Athens. Creditors have been sceptical about the government's plans to raise revenues by hitting corporate profits. It seems that an earlier Greek plan to put a special levy on profits over €500,000 have been removed all-together.
Where's the debt relief?
There are no mentions of Greece's debt sustainability in the "prior actions" report laid out above. However, a government "non-paper" sent to parliamentarians makes mention of a commitment to reprofile Greece's debt after 2022.
That is the year Greece is set to pay back deferred loans from Europe's rescue funds. This starts with a €5bn repayment in December 2022.
It has been thought that the only way Mr Tsipras will be able to convince his electorate - who voted to rejected austerity terms very similar to this plan by 61pc - should he manage to get an explicit promise that some portion of Greece's €330bn will be reprofiled or restructured.
What happens next?
If it all goes to plan, then the Greek parliament will vote through the measures tonight. Mr Tsipras will likely be relying on his opposition parties to give their assent.
Then, finance ministers will unanimously have to give their assent to the Greek proposals on Saturday. This may then lead to the cancellation of an emergency leaders summit set for Sunday.
On Monday, all eyes would turn to the national parliaments of the eurozone. Germany, Portugal, Slovakia, Estonia, and Finland will all have to pass the loan request through their legislatures with a majority vote.
If all these hurdles are cross, Greece may then secure the release of around €3.3bn in bond profits it is owed by the ECB. This cash would help Greece pay off a maturing bond to the ECB on July 20.

Group practices pose a unique challenge. Many times groups are managed as individual practices despite their collective spend volume. Groups owned or managed by IDN's are often pushed to utilize the internal procurement solution used by the hospital. These systems are designed for a completely different environment and are typically too powerful and complex to be used by a staff member buying supplies for an individual office.
MedProcure Benefits:
- Group analysis: We begin the process using Item Analytics to merge all purchases from all offices into a single list. From there we consolidate purchases of all exact items. Next we analyze pricing on these items so that price parity can be achieved. Many times savings of 10-15% can be seen just by achieving price parity across all locations. Further savings can be realized through item consolidation of like items. For example, a group could decide on the same 16 gauge syringe to be used across all offices.
- Spend Management: Once a consolidated item master has been produced, groups can elect to either use the SuppliesMGR:MD platform to place orders or Item Analytics to analyze spend. Both approaches provide the feedback and reporting needed to manage spend and ensure consistent and accurate pricing.
- Purchasing Management: The highly regarded SuppliesMGR:MD is the core solution for getting control over spend across the group. By managing a group item master control is exercised over each order placed without costly and time consuming staff oversight. Customized order rules can allow basic supply orders to flow automatically while requiring management approval for certain items or orders that are out of established limits or would put an office over their budget for the period.
By using small, simple barcode scanners staff members create orders in a fraction of the time it takes for manual orders.

CALGARY - Ales Hemsky scored twice in regulation, Tyler Seguin had the only goal in the shootout, and the Dallas Stars beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 Wednesday night for their seventh win in eight games.
Seguin got a shot past Karri Ramo in the first round of the shootout, and Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen was perfect against Joe Colborne, Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan to get the victory.
Jamie Benn also scored for Dallas, which pulled six points behind Winnipeg for the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Dereky Engelland got his first two goals of the season, and Gaudreau also scored in regulation for Calgary. The Flames remained third in the Pacific Division, one point up on Los Angeles — which is outside of a playoff spot.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, Ryan White and Michael Raffl scored goals to lead Philadelphia past Chicago.
Giroux had his 22nd goal for his first even-strength score at home this season. Steve Mason was stout again for the Flyers, finishing with 34 saves.
Andrew Shaw scored for the Blackhawks.
Flyers fans gave Chicago defenceman Kimmo Timonen a standing ovation during a video tribute for the returning defenceman who helped lead Philadelphia to the 2010 Stanley Cup final.
Timonen returned to Philadelphia for the first time since he was traded to Chicago in February for two draft picks.
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Derek Roy scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and Edmonton recovered after giving up a three-goal lead.
Martin Marincin, Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall all scored in the first 9:36 of the game for the Oilers, who have won two of their last three games. Ben Scrivens stopped 31 shots.
Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay scored in the second period, and Ryan O'Reilly tied it early in the third for the Avalanche, who have lost three in a row and are 10 points out of playoff spot with just nine games remaining.
Semyon Varlamov allowed three goals on the first seven shots he faced before getting pulled in favour of Reto Berra, who finished with 26 saves.

Low Income: Why Only 12% Save to Retire
A new study estimating that just 12 percent of low-income older Americans save in a 401(k) or similar employer retirement plan also suggests that many more would save – if only they could.
The researchers – April Yanyuan Wu, Matt Rutledge, and Jacob Penglase of the Center for Retirement Research – focused on individuals between ages 50 and 58 with household incomes below three times the poverty line. That was less than $36,357 in 2010 for a one-person household, for example, and less than $46,800 for two people. The period studied spans 1992 through 2010.
Retirement saving primarily takes place in workplace plans. But to participate in a plan, workers must clear four hurdles. First, they need a job. Next, their employer must offer a retirement savings plan. If there is a plan, they must be eligible to participate. And if eligible, they must sign up and contribute.
A failure to sign up can't be blamed for the dismal savings rate of this low-income group. Instead, the problem is that many never get the chance.
Only 42 percent of low-income older people are employed at any given time, making it difficult for a broad swath of this population to save consistently. When they are employed, they cluster in workplaces that have no retirement savings plan. Only 44 percent work for employers offering such plans, according to the Center, which also sponsors this blog.
The bottom line is that just 12 percent end up participating in a savings plan.
This study casts some doubt on claims that low-income people don't want to save. Their low level of saving seems all but assured by the poor quality of their jobs and their tenuous connection to the labor market.
So what can be done to improve this grim picture?
The employment issue is extremely difficult. But on the pension side, the study points to a clear-cut way to boost savings: require employers to offer a retirement savings plan to workers who aren't covered and then automatically enroll them.
These changes could raise low-income participation in the plans to 42 percent – that's the most optimistic outcome, according to the study.

Skip to 0 minutes and 7 seconds This interview is about applications of agent-based modelling with the teacher of this week's activity, Wander Jager. Wander, welcome. Hi, Lex. What applications for agent-based modelling can be envisioned in the future? Well, I think in future, a lot is possible, obviously, but if we look at the shorter time scale, I think in the forthcoming years, we'll all see the first applications that target actual systems in society. For example, talking about innovation diffusion of products and so on. And I think at the later stage, which is currently already in development, is the integration of agent-based models with other models. We talk, for example, about coastal management. We think about landslides. We think about economy.
Skip to 0 minutes and 56 seconds I think that we will see that agent-based modelling will become a tool to be integrated in other models as well. What is critical for using these models? Well, what really is critical are two issues. It's the input of the models and the use of the output of the models. And if you consider the input, I always emphasise that it's very important to use very sound theory in the models to make a model theoretically sound. And I think that psychology has a lot to contribute to developing these models and making it more applicable. I will give you one example of how things can go wrong.
Skip to 1 minute and 37 seconds Because a couple of years ago, I encountered an agent-based model which was aiming to study criminal behaviour. And the essential assumption in the model was that of your homo economicus. So imagine that we had a model here where every person in the world would wake up in the morning facing the decision either to engage in criminal acts today or to be a decent civilian. And the choice was made on the basis of perfect information on how many people engaged in criminal behaviour yesterday and the chances of being arrested. Well, this model was being used for policy, so you can imagine that using these kinds of input and assumptions in the models is really risky.
Skip to 2 minutes and 29 seconds So that's the first thing about input. It's very important to have decent theory in your model and to use, also, good data to parameterise your model. The second point was on the output of the model. And that's also very important that you get output of your model that's understandable. What I think is very important that a simulation tool is capable of creating narratives of future developments. So it is easy to communicate– possible for sites of future developments using the model. So that are the very important things I see for the near future. So in summary– in conclusion, what in your view can agent-based modelling contribute to the development of the social sciences, in particular.
Skip to 3 minutes and 18 seconds Well, for the social sciences, it's a very important tool, I assume, because modelling forces you to be very precise in defining the processes. So you go beyond a more linguistic description of processes but you actually make it happen. You make it run in your model. And then also allows for connecting different ideas from psychology because perhaps you know psychology is a relatively young science. And we have a lot of theories on different aggregational levels– on different levels of description. And if you use agent-based models, you're forced to collect them in some way. And sometimes that's really very difficult.
Skip to 4 minutes and 0 seconds And in that respect, a developed agent-based model very often confronts you with questions for additional field redevelopment and for additional empirical data collection. So in this way, I think agent-based modelling also capitalises the integration of social science and the further theory development in the field. Thank you very much, Wander, for this interview.

John Coale, married to Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren, is a one time adviser to Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. While he was an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter during the 2008 primaries, he supported Palin during the general election. He has also traveled with his wife to Alaska and met personally with the Palins regarding use of SarahPAC money. Apparently, he suggested using the money to pay down Clinton's $2million campaign debt, but downplayed the amount and claimed it was an effort to build a friendship between the two families. Coale does state that he is friends of Sarah and Todd Palin, but that the relationship is not political. You may recall; however, that Greta Van Susteren invited Sarah Palin to the White House Correspondents Dinner and ended up bringing Tod Palin in her place.

Hannity's Pseudo Outrage Over Sykes Jokes
Sean Hannity's hypocrisy in 3, 2, 1…
As you've seen everywhere, conservatives are all up in arms about Wanda Sykes and her roasting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. While somethings are better left unsaid, and jokes are often based in fact, not to mention this was a roast, Sean Hannity had the following to say about the incident.
Calling him a terrorist, comparing him to bin Laden, et cetera, et cetera, and then wishing kidney failure. Now for all the moral indignation and outrage over waterboarding, what would be worse, wishing an American citizen who has a different point of view that his kidneys fail and to waterboard a terrorist to get information?
Now there is a double standard. Now can you imagine if we go through this list here of — what if somebody called Barack Obama, compared him to a terrorist? What if somebody wished him ill? That he wouldn't do well?
Anyone else lose count how many times Sean Hannity has mentioned Barack Obama's association with so-called terrorist Bill Ayres? Or how about Fox News comparing Obama to Osama… Does this ring a bell?
You're right Sean, there does seem to be a double standard. If Fox News does it, it's okay. If a liberal comedian at a roast does it, it's bad.

Greta Van Susteren vs. Bill O'Reilly
As you know, Bill O'Reilly is known for having his people conduct ambush-style reporting. Recently, The O'Reilly Factor producer Jesse Watters has made a name for himself for this very reason. Fox News, obviously, sees no problem with this lack of journalistic integrity.
Someone should tell Greta Van Susteren that she works for Fox News. Here she is after the White House Correspondents Dinner, to which she brought Todd Palin…
The reporter may have been working – but he was not. He was at a social event and not looking to be ambushed by a surprise interview.
This looks like another case of Fox News personalities wanting to dish it out, but not being able to take it.

Wanda Sykes Slams Sean Hannity At Correspondents Dinner
Wanda Sykes was the featured comic at the White House Correspondents Dinner and she had some choice words for Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Sykes brought up the fact that Hannity has not lived up to his waterboarding pledge and joked that Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker on 9/11.
"Sean Hannity said that he was going to get waterboarded for charity for our armed forces. He hasn't done it yet I see. Talking about he can take a waterboarding, please,ok you might be able to get waterboarded by somebody he knows and trusts, but let somebody from Pakistan waterboard him, or let Keith Olbermann waterboard him. He can't take a waterboarding. I can break Sean Hannity by giving him a middle seat in coach."

Sean Hannity – Elitist Cheese Eater
When Sean Hannity attacked Barack Obama for wanting Dijon mustard on a hamburger, you could practically hear the collective smack of millions of hands on millions of foreheads around the country. So, in an other example of Fox News hypocrisy, Sean Hannity will soon be dining on "elitist" cheeses at the White House Correspondents Dinner with Sarah Todd Palin. Also at the event will be celebrities such as Jon Bon Jovi, Taye Diggs, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, John Cusack, Felicity Huffman, Sting and Kevin Bacon, to name a few. How's that for fancy?

Fox News Invites Sarah & Todd Palin to White House Correspondents Dinner
Apparently, Fox News is so "fair and balanced" they saw fit to invite Alaskan Governor and failed VP-to-be Sarah Palin to the White House Correspondents Dinner. But, due to flooding in Alaska, she will not be in attendance, so her husband, Todd, will sit in for her. It's becoming obvious that Fox News is going to push for Gov. Sarah Palin to run for President in 2012.

The government probably can't take credit for the increase in the number of foreign tourists. Many of its projects to attract visitors, such as inviting foreign travel agencies to Japan, participating in trade shows overseas and various advertising campaigns, are ineffective, according to a recent report by the internal affairs ministry.
Of the 244 projects the Japan Tourism Agency funded from fiscal 2010 to 2012, 31 of them, on which the agency spent as much as ¥90 million, failed to attract even one tourist.
In one failed case, the government spent about ¥3 million to bring over Chinese journalists to get them to write about traveling in Japan. Not one of the 600 visitors the project was meant to attract materialized.
The effectiveness of 119 projects can't even be assessed, the report said.
JTA official Hayato Takaishi said the agency has no system to determine whether projects work in the long term.
He said the agency's local branches outsource the projects to private firms on a one-year contract basis. But once the fiscal year ends, the firms don't have to report whether any visitors were attracted. The complete failure of the 31 projects were just the results of one fiscal year, Takaishi said.
"It takes more than a year for some projects to actually begin to work . . . even though the report says that these projects were not effective, not all of them failed," he said.

Repainting or restyling using feng shui can really change up a room's look and feel. Even flowers or new curtains can brighten up a space. The tips you will find here can help you to update your home's look and feel.
Does your porch need a new paint job? Use exterior paint that is good quality. When you are painting you have to use the same kind of paint to go over the old. An oil-based paint is better for trims and will last a long time but you should use a water-based paint for decks or floors since oil-based paint can become slippery in the winter.
Always insist on references before hiring a contractor to work on your home improvement project. Make sure your potential contractor is properly licensed to perform the work in question. Hiring a professional is worth the money to give you peace of mind that the job is done right the first time.
When improving your house, there are some projects that you can do yourself and others that you cannot. If you feel like you can complete a simple task like repainting the kitchen, then by all means do it, in order to save yourself some extra money. Just be sure that you know what you're getting yourself into before you start a project. You don't want to try and remodel your bathroom and find out half way through that you're not sure if you can complete the task without hitting a pipeline.
Storage projects are an excellent way to get your feet wet in the home improvement process. If you have a broom closet in your home, consider making it into a small pantry. It is easy to attach small racks to the inside of the door and create a place for canned goods and spices. If you are able to add a deeper shelf, you can also store boxes or kitchen appliances that don't see much use.
Replacing the roof on a home is one of the largest expenses a homeowner will face. Compare prices from at least 3 companies that can fix the roof, and make sure to check out references. Lots of choices in roofing materials exist today, such as metal roofing, lightweight tiles, composite shingles and conventional wood shakes.

Vacuum Cleaner Price HomeCare Products Shark Dust Cup Filter 3 Pack Review
Bagged Versus Bagless
As with most things in life, there is really nothing free. The two most sought-after benefits without a bag vacuum cleaners were lower than operating costs and better performance. Regarding cost issues, all vacuum cleaners must filter the exhaust air that they use carry dirt to the collection area since they otherwise just pick up dirt with floor and spit it out back.
If you have a bagless HEPA filter, a pre-filter, or disposable packages, all must be changed in some point. With an average vacuum lifespan cleaner you can expect to spend the same on filter collection system but if you value your time you can expect to spend a little more on bagless system.
For your bagless vacuum cleaner to work on peak levels, you need to empty the dirt container when it is full and perform regular maintenance on filter. The type of filter that uses vacuum will be determine how many services are required, although most use a pleated HEPA filter.
Even though demanding better airflow performance with a bagless vacuum is true in a sense, over life vacuum you get the same thing or maybe even better bagged vacuum cleaner performance system.
With bag vacuum cleaners, productivity will be start with 100% with each new bag, then slowly lower as the bag begins to fill up. How fast performance drop depends on how well built. With medium vacuum and medium bag, you can replace the bag every 3-4 weeks with 90% of productivity in the first week, 70% in weeks 2 and 3, then 50% less in the fourth week.
Short cycle will provide you 100% peak cleaning every 3 or 4 weeks from vacuum purifier. Filtered cyclone machines have filters are designed for 6 months, 12 months, and even up to 18 months before they need to be replaced.
If you have dogs or cats, do you see this or no, almost all pets shed their fur on a regular basis throughout their lives. Pet owners often wonder what kind of vacuum is it is best to remove pet hair.
For the same reasons that fur sticks on the carpet, it will also stick to your bag vacuum pleated filter element. The fur will be reduce airflow performance and also is neck pain to clean the filter.
Over time, the fiber that the filter is made up of may keep the smell away from pets even if you brush filter well. If your filter requires replacement only once a year can you get a vacuum that spits out smells that will stink your home pretty bad.
In bags
Vacuum cleaners that use bags often provide for the accurate disposal of the full bag. There are some brands such as BOSCH that actually design a bag removal to the system. With canister BOSCH vacuum cleaners, one-time bag replacement step without dust. New Mega Filter Bags Have built-in closing system, which when removed, will slip and catch dirt and debris inside the bag, which makes removal quick and easy.
However, there are many people who love machines without bags. Bagless vacuum cleaners will continue in a slow place to get market share and people will continue to buy them. For many without a bag a vacuum may be the right vacuum to have.
Bags are a technology of the past, but without bags this is the technology of the future. There are a lot of reasons why you should go without a bag. For tomorrow's vacuum cleaners, without a cylinder and without a bag this is the key.

Carole Lombard loved horses nearly as much as she loved making movies, as this photo from the spring of 1939 makes evident. It was taken at Hollywood Park in Inglewood; we know that from the back:
Let's isolate and clarify the snipe so we can read it; since this is an RKO press release, the snipe was typed on the studio publicity department's rather unique typewriter:
More information: This happened during shooting for her film "In Name Only" (at the time when its working title was "Memory of Love"). The horse posing with Carole is Valley Lass, part of a stable owned by the movie's director, John Cromwell. (By now, Lombard herself could've been a Valley lass, if she and new husband Clark Gable had finally been able to move into the Encino ranch they had purchased.)
We know Clark and Carole regularly played the horses at the Santa Anita track in Arcadia, but it's entirely possible they visited Hollywood Park a few times, too. A few weeks ago, Hollywood Park, racetrack version, itself faded into history when the grandstand was razed. A massive development is set for the site, blending housing, retail, an amphitheater and, most important for Angelenos, a football stadium that likely will host a National Football League team when the project is completed. (Since St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is developing the property, his franchise is expected to return to southern California. The Los Angeles Rams played at the Coliseum after moving from Cleveland in 1946 and stayed there through 1979; the team then spent 15 years sharing Anaheim Stadium with baseball's Angels before moving east.) We'll see what happens with that -- one or both of two other franchises, the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers, are eyeing a site in Carson, a few miles south of Inglewood, if one or both teams can't work out a deal for a new stadium in their respective markets.
But let's get back to this rare photograph, an 8" x 10" the seller says is in very good condition ("there are some minor creases at the top edge and the corners"). Bidding begins at $15, with the auction set to end at 11:06 p.m. (Eastern) next Wendesday. If you'd like to ride home a winner with this one or simply are curious, check out http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carole-Lombard-with-race-horse-Valley-Lass-at-Hollywood-Park-candid-photo-1939-/231610499081?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item35ed0fc009.
If you're seeing our initial Lombard LiveJournal header for July, Paramount p1202-678, and are thinking to yourself, "Gee, that looks old-fashioned, even for the 1930s," well, you'd be right. Here's the snipe with the explanation for Travis Banton's period design:

Speed bumps on the road to Damascus
"What does your daddy do for a living?"
Lawyers are taught not to ask a question to which they don't know the answer. I'm not sure what Mark Silverthorn 'thought' the answer would be, but I am sure it was not what his eight-year-old daughter replied: "You send people letters telling them to pay their bills or you will put them in the garbage."
Mark had spent 12 years working as a collection lawyer with some of the largest collection agencies as his clients. Other people, me included, would describe what he did for a living in different terms but at that point in his life, his little girl's comment had a profound impact on how he felt about his life and as a result – his future.
Perhaps some of us may feel he was called to 'the dark side', but Mark believed he might be able to help the many Canadians who were struggling with debt and he wrote a book: 'The Wolf At The Door: What To Do When Collection Agencies Come Calling'. His business is now providing advice to debtors struggling with unsecured consumer debt.
Some of you will remember the biblical story of Saul on the road to Damascus where he was going to lead the persecution of Christians. He was knocked off and onto his ass, struck blind and heard the words, "Saul, why do you persecute me?" A few days later, cured by a Christian, he changed his name to Paul and went forth to preach the gospel. He may very well have been The Greatest Salesman in the World, according to Og Mandino in his book of the same name. Without him, the Christian religion, whether you favor it or not, would not be where it is today.
It is a great story and who knows, perhaps he was struck down and temporarily blinded, but I suspect there were many moments during the weeks and months before that caused Saul to question what he did for a living.
Same too for Mark. His daughter's question may have knocked him onto his rear end, but along the way, over the weeks, months and perhaps even years, there were moments that caused him to question his career.
There is another story, the one of a man who approached someone laying bricks and asked him what he was doing. "I'm laying bricks," was the reply. Another man further down the line said he was building a wall. The third man in the line said, "I am building a Cathedral".
If you are in receivables and truly believe you send letters or make calls and put people in the garbage if they don't pay, then it may be time to find a new career.
On the other hand, believing that one helps business to thrive and survive and despite what they may believe, help customers in difficult financial situations – then I humbly ask you to join me in raising the bar of our profession and we will not only live a life, but making a living.
Tim Paulsen
P.S. I always thought it wasn't much of a change from Saul to Paul. Maybe the camel license or identity card in those days was carved in a rock. Easier just to change one letter, eh?

Villa Am Meer, Chapter 1
It all started with a walk along the beach…For 15 years, our family has been visiting the beautiful barrier island of Longboat Key, Florida – just outside of Sarasota on the Gulf of Mexico. This year, like every year, we found ourselves ambling along the beach and imagining what it would be like to live in one of those beautiful new oceanfront mansions that seem to keep cropping up. We marvel at the architecture and wonder who could possibly afford to live there, then we saunter along, hoping this is the week we finally hit all six numbers on Ross's PowerBall ticket.
There is, however, this one ramshackle, weather beaten house that has continued to hold our interest for all of these 15 years. I call it "my house," because I've always told my husband that I would buy it someday. Someday, when I write a bestseller, option a screenplay, or hit the PowerBall. Someday…I've never been able to quite put my finger on it, but something about this rundown, abandoned-looking house has always intrigued me. I stare at it and I wonder. Who built it? How long has it been there? Who owns it? Why has it fallen into such a state of disrepair?
It's clear that it was beautiful once, with stained glass windows, hand-painted ceramic tiles, and a spiral iron staircase that leads to a rooftop patio. I can only imagine the resolve it's taken for the family to stave off the condominium developers, encroaching from either side. Clearly, there is some nostalgia attached to this home. I can almost picture it in my head… images of days gone by… children enjoying long, lazy days on the beach, building sandcastles and collecting seashells… the grown-ups looking on, waving and laughing, sipping piña coladas from the patio.
This year though, things were different. The high rise condominiums just to the north were putting in a new concrete pier (groin) to prevent erosion of their rapidly diminishing beachfront. Large, heavy equipment was moving in and out of the property, and I worried that "my house" had finally been sold and was about to be torn down.
I panicked. I returned with my camera, anxious to preserve a bit of Longboat Key history before the wrecking ball did away with this vintage treasure and all its romantic charm. The problem is, photographing the house only caused me to fall more in love with it. I wanted to know more. Who lived here, who played here, who slept here? What was life like on Longboat Key, before the condominiums, before the Crackberry, before the chaos of our 21st century lives?
And so it began… my quest for answers. I will admit, I went a little bananas. For over a week now, I have put off things like laundry, housecleaning, and preparing my income taxes to delve into the history of this charming little beach house.
And to think it all started with a walk along the beach.

My parents have had a condo at the Islands West for 35 yrs, they bought it when i was 12. I have also had the same love for that house for 30yrs & have also said if i win the lottery some day i'm buying it! We still continue to vacation every year around July 4th w/other families in the same bldg for 20yrs kids all around the same age. I remember those days of the beauty of the house i remember how wonderful it was. I have seen the beauty & decline for many years. My daughter also has a love for this house she's 23, she's the one who found your blog. Thanks for taking wonderful pictures & thanks for also enjoying what the house used to be. It was one of a kind.

Hey Joy,
My name is Carly Rogan. My mom just left a comment on your blog as well. In answer to your question about the additional houses/carriage house, I can tell you that this year on my last day in Sarasota I went up to the boundary of the estate and thought I saw an additional building on the property. There is the caretaker's house which is visible from the beach and is not original to the estate. However, if you go on google maps and switch to the satellite view of the area you can zoom in as close as you can and it looks like there is another building surrounded by trees. I am not sure if this is the building you are talking about or if you went any farther on the estate past the actual house but there is definitely something there. Unfortunately, I left Florida this year without plucking up the courage to venture onto the estate. Let me know what you think or if you have already checked the google image out. It is definitely mysterious….I am so glad there is someone out there who shares the same passion for this beautiful property.
Definitely keep up the good work. The pictures are amazing. I was really excited when I found your blog and will continue to eagerly wait for updates. Hopefully you can check out that building. It is about as big as the actual estate and is located in a large group of trees on the middle of the property. Hopefully its what you are looking for!
My husband was employed by The Benedicts for 40 years. He was very loyal to them and so was I and my 2 sons. The building you spoke of as "The carriage house" was actually called "The Guest House". It had a full kitchen,2 bedrooms and a living room. There was a caretaker's house on the property too. It was a great pleasure to be associated with this family. Your writings are very factual and you sure have done your research well.
Joy, Susan is visiting me here in Bradenton this week (Feb 2 – 7, 2012). We have noted the address and will make it a point to go visit 'your house'! Should be a fun trip. Cuz Randy
Hi Joy, I would like to contact you because I am a member of the Family from Herta's side. She was my grandfather's sister. I have quite a lot of information but would also like to find out more.
Please write back.
Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany
I grew up from 1971-1976 at the Gulf Tides (now a timeshare condo) motel. Villa am Meer was my sanity place, where I could go sit and be alone when teenage angst overwhelmed me. So sad it is not a home but condos …
It was empty and abandoned as long as we lived there.

You may have got the following error when using CU1 or CU2 with Exchange 2013 when the routing plugin for multi tenancy is being used.
2 smtp;532 5.3.2 STOREDRV.Deliver; Missing or bad StoreDriver MDB properties
Now there are a couple of reasons for this, which are well documented.
The first reason is if you have a mailbox that is hidden from the address book. You need to un-hide the mailbox.
Another issue that will cause this that isn't well documented is if you are using Email Address policies that check certain things like custom attributes or organizational units (OUs). If the user is sitting in the wrong OU, and the address policy specifies they need to be in another OU, you will get this error.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

HÀ NỘI — A new stamp collection featuring the landscapes of the northern province of Lào Cai has been launched to mark National Tourism Year 2017, themed Lào Cai – North Western Region.
The collection includes two stamps for domestic and international mail. The images on the stamps were taken by photographers Ngọc Bằng and Gia Chiến, who are based in the province.
The design for domestic use is a photo of terraced rice fields on high mountains with yellow crops, while the design for international use features a spectacular sunset over the 3,143m-high Fansipan peak, which is covered with a blanket of clouds.
"The stamps feature clearly and vividly the mountain peak, which is dubbed 'Indochina's roof' and the peaceful and rich life of local ethnic groups," said Nguyễn Hữu Thể, deputy chairman of Lào Cai People's Committee.
"Small stamps carry important messages, reflecting the local economy, culture and society of the country," he said.
Both stamps were decorated with the traditional weaving patterns of local ethnic groups.
The domestic and international stamps are priced at VNĐ3,000 and VNĐ10,500, respectively, and are available at book shops and post offices nationwide.
The province will host various activities throughout this year together with neighbouring northwestern provinces including the spring festival and summer festival in Sa Pa District, the Bắc Hà Traditional Horse Race in June, Việt Nam Mountain Marathon 2017 in Sa Pa in September, Terrace Rice Field Festival in Bát Xát District and Ô Quý Hồ Cup Bike Race in October as well as Winter Festival in Sa Pa in December.
This year, Lào Cai Province expects to receive four million tourists. — VNS

Public Inquiry – Sculthorpe
A Public Inquiry will be held in April into a planning application to build more than 200 homes at Sculthorpe which was turned down by North Norfolk District Council.
Date published: 16th January 2017
The public inquiry, which will be held in the Council Chamber at North Norfolk District Council's offices at Holt Road, Cromer, is due to be held on the 25 April 2017 and is scheduled to last for six days.
The planning application by Amstel Group Corporation Ltd was for 71 homes, a new access road, side rounds drainage works, play areas, landscaping works in phase 1; with a further 129 homes, primary school, community centre, play area.
North Norfolk District Council Development Committee refused the planning application in January 2016 because it was against planning policy as the area was designated as an area of open countryside; too far from local services or facilities and that it would cause harm to heritage assets including the character and appearance of Sculthorpe Conservation Area.
A planning inspector appointed by the Secretary of State will lead the public inquiry into the appeal. Members of the public will be invited to attend the inquiry and can, if the inspector allows, express their views.
Cllr Sue Arnold, Cabinet Member for Planning said: "It's vital that the local issues and concerns are fully taken into account when deciding planning applications and it's my sincere hope that the public inquiry respects the views of the communities and upholds the decisions of the local planning authority, who are well placed to be able to understand what is best for their area and reflect local feelings."
If you would like to look at the appeals please go to the Planning Inspectorate website https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk and search for APP/Y2620/W/16/3150860
