The process of developing an opinion of value for real property is known as residential appraisal. Corporate stocks are sold daily and are identical but real estate sales, on the other hand, need appraisals as they don't occur often and every property is different.
Something else that is key in valuation is place, but since property location cannot be altered, upgrades and improvements to the home can change its value . Appraisal statements are used as the basis for mortgage loans, settling estates and divorces, tax and sometimes also property selling prices.
The two most popular types of value found by a real estate appraisal are market values and investment values.
The estimated rate at which an asset would trade in a given setting is known as the market price. On the other hand, investment value is the value to one particular investor, and may or may not be higher than the market value of a property. Buyers and sellers are excited to join the market by the differences between investment value of the property and its market value. Please view this site
for further details.
Commercial estimate is prepared for many purposes. One of the most common interests for having a business property valued is disposition. Owners and investors, may tend to think that their assets are worth far then they actually are when selling their assets and this may make them biased. So as to get more meaningful commissions, real estate agents may set prices too high, when assisting the property owner to set a price for a real estate asset. Here's a good read about

Overpricing may lead to capital sitting in the market for more extended periods. Lacking knowledge on property values, can make owners and investors suffer significant financial losses by setting too low prices. This is the reason as to why you need to hire commercial real estate appraisers as they do not have any other interest in the asset, and will estimate a reasonable selling price for the owner explicitly based on market support.
Sometimes, estate settlement, can be demanding to the deceased relatives' but it is necessary with the passing of those who hold real estate assets. Often times, some properties need an opinion of market value, and any real property held by the estate must be valued by a competent real estate appraiser. In many cases, the people who need these appraisals are, beneficiaries of the estate, attorneys, trust administrators, estate planners, executors, accountants, court-appointed receivers, corporations, partnership entities, and enrolled agents are some of the people who use appraisals.
Commercial appraisers help prevent tax disputes, between property owners and governing authorities by ensuring that the owners and investors pay the correct amount of taxes. Reduction of taxes, for property owners is unlikely to happen, without proof of a lower assessment from a reliable commercial appraiser.

Using milling input parameters (speed, feed, and depth-of-cut) and response (tool wear), the data for the model is partitioned into training and testing datasets, and the training dataset is used to realize a predictive model that is a function of the input parameters and the coefficients determined. In our approach, we first present a methodology for modeling, and then develop predictive model(s) of the problem being solved in the form of second-order equations based on the input data and coefficients realized. This approach leads to some generalization because it becomes possible to predict not only the test data obtained during experimentation, but other test data outside the experimental results can also be used. Moreover, this approach makes it easy to present the realized solution in a form that can be further optimized for the input parameters using some optimization techniques. The results realized using our e-GMDH method are promising, and the comparative study presented shows that the e-GMDH outperforms polynomial neural network (PNN); moreover, it is more flexible than the conventional GMDH, which tends to produce nonlinear solutions even for simple problems. In the investigation, the extended particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique was applied to obtain the optimal parameters. Consequently, the modeling approach is extremely useful in realizing a computer-aided process-planning system in an advanced manufacturing environment.}, vvvs = {1}, obory = {EI, JB, JC}, projnum = {12-05001/13133}, projects = {ML/BIO}, }

text: Fire crews fought a blaze at a University of Illinois-Chicago medical building Saturday.The fire began around 9 a.m. in the 800 block of South Wood Street. The UIC College of Pharmacy medical building contains both a laboratory and a pharmacy. Firefighters say, at first, the smoke appeared in more than one place in the six-story building, but the flames were on the fourth floor. Approximately, 20 students were inside the building and had to evacuate. "A fellow employee came by and said, 'Let's go.' We went inside to the cafeteria of the hospital, and there were flames shooting out of the fourth floor. There was soot and ashes just flying around," said student Jessica Gaines. No one was hurt in the fire. A preliminary report has found it was an electrical fire.

Quality eroge maker Overflow is set to release an upgraded version of its classic bugfest School Days, "School Days HQ," a high definition remaster of sorts. However, it has already announced the first delay in release…
The game was previously set for an August release but has now been delayed an additional month to the end of September.
The game itself promises significant upgrades – by eroge standards at least. Game resolution will be increased from 640×480 to 800×600, graphics will be upgraded to Cross Days standards, and new scenes will be added.
Assuming it is released this year, a generous assumption indeed, fans are sure to be appreciative of the chance to revisit the title's signature crazed yandere antics in slightly higher resolution.

Again, like Wilco.
I've heard one song, it was fantastic. Where am i starting here...??
the album
'lift yr skinny fists like antenae to heaven' is good, and i don't usually like post-rock.
monpot is right
the song that's title begins with 'storm..' is the best one off that, although they're all good, i just really like that one because it has horns. OOOH!
i love 'lift your skinny fists...'
the track 'sleep: murray ostril" is breathtaking.
That's my fave as well
The 'Monheim' section where the slow, quiet bit goes to the loud, fast bit... I know, I know an obvious post rock trick but it's...just... one of 'those' moments in music for me.
The car's on fire
There's no driver at the wheel...
I think getting the first release (F#A#oo or whatever it's called) is a good idea. It has one of the best openings to any record ever.
i agree with brainerd1
that record is stunning. don't get the newest, the one with bombs falling on the cover, i think thats a bit weak really, sounds a little flat to my ears.
fantastic live as well!
No-one else
for Yanquie UXO?
and then go get some
a silver mount zion
they are a godspeed spin off and also very close to perfection, again i like the debut the best - i think that 'angles standing around your bed' is one of my fave songs ever. ever
Should be getting Lift Your Skinny Fists
for christmas. It's the one cd on my list i really want to hear.
all very good, it could be a bit daunting starting with Lifty yr. Skinny Fists just because of the sheer length of it. The Slow Riot for Zero Kanada EP is half an hour of pure perfection - and there's something to be said for brevity.
don't forget
To listen to lots of Do Make Say Think. MORE HORNS! Post-rock + horns is like a more credible version of ska-punk.
GO FOR IT anyway!
Start at the beginning
which means NOT starting with skinny fists.
F# A# infinity
Slow Riot for New Zero Kaneda
Those are the best releases really, the Slow Riot EP being probably the cream, though it's a bit of a toss up.
(As you can see, I preferred them when they were the more grammatically correct "Godspeed You Black Emperor!")
are my all time favourite band ever ever in the world ever and 'f#a#oo' is the best thing they've ever done. much more melodic and varied and deeply wonderful and beautiful. Slow Riot and Skinny Fists are also utterly essential and wonderful. Yanqui is sadly on the dull side.
and I think the best Silver Mt Zion album is 'This is Our Punk Rock'.
Ah my favourite band!
Every post seems to be talking sense here, of course, if they are fans of GY!BE I wouldn't have expected any less. Personally, even though it's certainly the popular choice, I still prefer Lift Yr Skinny Fists....., it's not often an album can completely engulf you, and stimulate and inspire. Pure genius. Slow Riot.... is incredible also, Moya almost distills everything good about the band down into a relatively short 11 minutes, I guess it would be their single in a twisted world! The first album is brilliant too, I appreciated it more live, as all the impressive visuals and projections fitted these songs perfectly (I remember some train journey looking amazing or somthing haha!). Yanqui UXO is great, but don't like it as much, just not as much invention as on Skinny Fists. As the guy above says, just get them all in order, and the aforementioned Do Make Say Think, A Silver mt. Zion etc, and take a look at the rest of the Constellation records roster.

Denosumab, a drug that attacks proteins that help destroy bones, enhanced the bone health of 20 study participants who could have gotten a positive result for giant-cell bone cancer from a blood test screening. These findings appear in the American Association for Cancer Research's journal, Clinical Cancer Research.
Giant-cell bone tumors usually are not malignant, but the California researchers who authored this study say these tumors are only treatable with surgery, which isn't always effective. Sometimes, amputation is required to ensure these tumors won't ever spread.
According to the researchers, after they administered denosumab to their subjects for four weeks, 20 percent of them lost all but 10 percent of their giant-cell tumors, and bone matter grew back in 65 percent of patients who had lost bone cells due to their ailment.
"Radical surgery is currently the only treatment option," said Sant P. Chawla, director of the Santa Monica Oncology Center. "In our study, the use of denosumab allowed patients to avoid radical surgery and prevented recurrence. We hope that in the future, its use may make it possible to avoid surgery completely."
The National Center for Biotechnology Information says that the most frequently benign bone tumors to be detected by a blood test are osteochondromas, and they generally develop in individuals between 10 and 20 year old.

Patuxet Village
Historic area of the Patuxet tribe

The Patuxet were a Native American band of the Wampanoag tribal confederation. They lived primarily in and around modern-day Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Patuxet have been extinct since 1622.
The Patuxet were wiped out by a series of plagues that decimated the indigenous peoples of southeastern New England in the second decade of the 17th century. The epidemics which swept across New England and the Canadian Maritimes between 1614 and 1620 were especially devastating to the Wampanoag and neighboring Massachuset, with mortality reaching 100% in many mainland villages. When the Pilgrims landed in 1620, all the Patuxet except Squanto had died.[2] The plagues have been attributed variously to smallpox,[3]leptospirosis,[4] and other diseases.[5][6][7][8]
Some European expedition captains were known to increase profits by capturing natives to sell as slaves. Such was the case when Thomas Hunt kidnapped several Wampanoag in 1614 in order to sell them later in Spain. One of Hunt's captives was a Patuxet named Tisquantum. Tisquantum eventually came to be known as Squanto (a nickname given to him by his friend William Bradford). After Squanto regained his freedom, he was able to work his way to England where he lived for several years, working with a shipbuilder.
He signed on as an interpreter for a British expedition to Newfoundland. From there Squanto went back to his home, only to discover that, in his absence, epidemics had killed everyone in his village.[2]
Squanto succumbed to "Indian fever" in November 1622.[9] With his death, the Patuxet people passed into history.
The first settlers of Plymouth Colony (modern Plymouth, Massachusetts), sited their colony at the location of a former Patuxet village, named "Port St. Louis" (Samuel de Champlain, 1605) or "Accomack" (John Smith, 1614). By 1616, the site had been renamed New Plimoth in Smith's A Description of New England after a suggestion by Prince Charles of England. When the Pilgrim Settlers decided to make their settlement, the land that had been cleared and cultivated by the prior inhabitants (since dead through disease) was a primary reason for the location.
Squanto was instrumental in the survival of the colony of English settlers at Plymouth. Samoset, a Pemaquid (Abenaki) sachem from Maine, introduced himself to the Pilgrims upon their arrival in 1620. Shortly thereafter, he introduced Squanto (presumably because Squanto spoke better English) to the Pilgrims, who had settled at the site of Squanto's former village.[2] From that point onward, Squanto devoted himself to helping the Pilgrims. Whatever his motivations, with great kindness and patience, he taught the English the skills they needed to survive, including how best to cultivate varieties of the Three Sisters: beans, maize and squash.
Although Samoset appears to have been important in establishing initial relations with the Pilgrims, Squanto was undoubtedly the main factor in the Pilgrims' survival. In addition, he also served as an intermediary between the Pilgrims and Massasoit, the Grand Sachem of the Wampanoag (original name Ousamequin [10] or "Yellow Feather"[11]). As such, he was instrumental in the friendship treaty that the two signed, allowing the settlers to occupy the area around the former Patuxet village.[2] Massasoit honored this treaty until his death in 1661.[12]
In the fall of 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast. This three-day celebration involving the entire village and about 90 Wampanoag has been celebrated as a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans.[13] The event later inspired 19th century Americans to establish Thanksgiving as a national holiday in the United States. The harvest celebration took place at the historic site of the Patuxet villages. Squanto's involvement as an intermediary in negotiating the friendship treaty with Massasoit led to the joint feast between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag. This feast was a celebration of the first successful harvest season of the colonists.[2]

I remember travelling to Petrie as a child to play against the Pine Rivers soccer team. It seemed like a long way away. Reading Tom Petrie's Reminiscences of Early Queensland makes it seem even further.
Tom Petrie was born in Scotland in 1831. In that same year his father Andrew accepted a post as supervisor of works in Sydney, and in 1838 the family transferred to the penal colony in Brisbane, then a ramshackle affair just over a decade old. When Queensland was opened up to free settlement a few years later and his position was abolished, Petrie senior refused the offered transfer back to Sydney in favour of setting up his own building business in the younger colony, and the Petries became pillars of early Brisbane society.
All this meant that Tom had a very unusual childhood. Brisbane in 1838 was not really a community, it was a prison. Although there were some women prisoners the population was dominated by male convicts and soldiers. There were virtually no European children. Even Petrie's own siblings were much older than he was, virtually young adults by the time they arrived in Brisbane.
Young Tom also seems to have had a freedom of movement unthinkable for a child in 21st century Brisbane. As a result, he sought out the only potential playmates available, the children in the Aboriginal camps at York's Hollow (the current Exhibition Grounds and Victoria Park), Bowen Hills and elsewhere around the settlement. These were predominantly Turrbal people, the original custodians of the Brisbane area, but there were regular visitors from further afield. He became an accepted presence in these camps, learned their languages, observed their ceremonies, and even travelled with them as an adolescent to the annual Bunya Nut Festival in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
All this made Tom quite unique among the European residents of early Brisbane. Most Europeans seem to have viewed Aboriginal people with a mixture of scorn and fear. Nor was the fear entirely misplaced. A number of Europeans were killed by Aboriginal people, although the killings were far from unprovoked. Yet Tom rarely if ever had cause to fear, and even worked closely with a number of Aboriginal people suspected of "murdering" Europeans. His personal friendships and understanding of their cultural boundaries meant he managed to avoid offence and negotiate more cooperative relationships.
A good example was his decision to settle in North Pine in the 1850s. A number of previous European farmer/graziers in the area had been killed or abandoned their properties for their own safety. Tom, however, consulted with the Aboriginal elder D'alipie (whom he had known since childhood) about where he should settle and, with his blessing, set up his station at a place he called "Murrumba", the Turrbal word for "good place". D'alipie and his family subsequently spent a lot of time at Murrumba, helped Petrie establish the place and cared for it while he was away.
In the early 1900s Tom Petrie's daughter, Constance Campbell Petrie, decided to record some of his stories for posterity. These appeared first as a series of articles in The Queenslander and later in a more extensive form in Tom Petrie's Reminiscences of Early Queensland, first published in 1904.
This is a very important document in the history of Queensland, especially for its record of the languages and cultural practices of the Turrbal and other original South-East Queensland peoples. It includes detailed descriptions of their hunting and gathering methods, food preferences, medical practice, marriage customs, child rearing, initiation ceremonies, mourning practices and the ritual battles which ended many of their large gatherings. It is appended with a substantial list of Aboriginal place names and other words, although it is not entirely clear which language or languages these come from.
It's also not clear exactly how Constance Petrie gathered the stories and information she uses in the book. Tom himself was still alive when it was published and it's possible he had some hand in it, but there's not much sense of his active involvement in its production. I wonder if perhaps he was unwell by the time it was written. Sometimes the stories are told in his voice as if Constance has recorded them verbatim, but more often they are told in the third person and some of the sections on Aboriginal culture seem to use other ethnographic sources too and read more like a work of anthropology than a memoir. Did Constance and Tom sit together and work on the book, or is Constance remembering stories he told her in her childhood? Did Tom write some of this down himself over the years, or is it all from his memory? Are we meant to take all the stories as fact, or are some of them campfire yarns and classic Aussie tall tales?
This wasn't the reason I felt uneasy as I read this book, though. You can't expect a memoir to adhere to high standards of scholarship.
The first thing that made me uneasy was the clear assumption of European superiority. Certainly Tom treated his Aboriginal companions fairly, kindly and even respectfully, and it seems they returned the favour. Yet once he is an adult there is no question that he is in charge. The book tells a series of stories about Tom's timber-getting expeditions to the Maroochy River in the company of a group of Aboriginal men. At one point 25 of these men ask him to brand the backs of their hands with a "P" using traditional scarring methods. He complies. It sounds disturbingly like slavery. There is certainly no suggestion in the book that his Aboriginal helpers were paid wages. They seem to be working for rations.
The second and even more nagging unease was about what happened to them. The book is vague about dates, but seems to peter out by about 1870. Where were the characters mentioned in it in 1904? It is clear that some of them were still alive because Constance Petrie mentions a visit she made to the sanatorium at Dunwich where some of the elders were sent to end their days. She says they received her very warmly as Tom's daughter and that they remembered him fondly despite not having seen him for decades. He doesn't seem to have gone with her on this visit. None of them seem to have been consulted on the stories in this book, or asked to tell their own versions or their own stories. We don't know if they had children. If they did where were they when the book was being written?
And this is where I was really squirming. We know from other sources that there was a strong Aboriginal presence in the area around North Pine right up until the late 19th Century. However, in 1897 the Queensland Parliament passed the Aboriginal Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act. One of the effects of this Act is that over the following decade virtually all the remaining Aboriginal population of South East Queensland was forcibly relocated to Aboriginal missions like Cherbourg and Woorabinda. This process was under way as Constance Petrie was writing this book.
You wouldn't know it, reading the book itself. It reads as if the Aboriginal communities belonged to the distant past. Even in Tom's youth, according to Constance, the strong, athletic and energetic people he first met were turning into torpid, unhealthy alcoholics in the urban camps, courtesy of the alcohol, tobacco and sugar they received from Europeans. She doesn't quite say it, but she conveys a sense that they were dying out, the few elderly people at Dunwich the last of a once-proud people. Their demise, she seems to be saying, was sad but inevitable.
It is true that there was much destruction over Tom's and Constance's lifetimes. People were killed by European settlers, by the Native Police, by imported influenza and other viruses, by poisoned flour, by alcohol. To her credit, Constance doesn't sugar-coat this, and she makes it clear that many of the European settlers were killed in revenge for attempted poisonings. Their culture was irreparably damaged by their steady eviction from their traditional land, forced beyond a boundary that kept on expanding. The 1897 Act finished the process of cultural genocide, forcing the remaining Turrbal, Jagera and Kabi from their lands and splitting them up between the various reserves.
Yet for all this they didn't 'die out'. There is a kind of bitter irony in the fact that their descendants are now forced to look up the details of their languages and cultures in Constance Petrie's book. It's likely that Tom Petrie was the best friend they had in the European community but it seems that in the end his friendship was like that of the king of Egypt, "that broken reed of a staff, which will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it".

Since last Friday I'm back on this cold land with gray clouds. Well okay, in the weekend we had us some sun but it's still a little cold and I have to get used again to wearing my coat.
*Believe me, when you're almost 6 weeks in the sun and in no need to wear any coat, you definitely will have to get back used to a coat*
At the start of this week the sun start playing a little game called hide & seek and I'm beginning to feel the fall which I do not like. It's making me miss my green little island even more.
Which by the way brings me to this short film I came across on Facebook of my 'dushi' island. FYI, 'dushi' means sweet, delicious, hot. Depending the context it's in.
This film is so beautiful and it really shows how beautiful Curacao is.
I wanted to share it with you gals since I know that there's many of you who don't know or has never been to Curacao. In this film you can definitely see why I'm so proud to be part of this little paradise.
Getting back, like I told you I'm back and now I'm committing myself to this blog. I want to write more blog post and also get deeper into the fashion part.
There's a lot to come up here on Life Fascinations; shoplogs, reviews, OOTD and definitely my colorful looks and tutorials.
And to top things up there's some awesome giveaways coming up in combination with my birthday which was last week Tuesday and also the first anniversary of Life Fascinations.

To some people, leadership means power and respect. To some, including me, it means responsibility. To you, what does being a leader mean?.
Sometimes, there is a misconception that when you are a leader to a certain body or team, you have the power and will gain respect from your subordinates.
I know it feels good to be the leader because you'll feel you are higher, respected, bowed, powerful, etc… but isn't it better if you are respected because you are the leader by it's true meaning – not just by word?
Being a leader does not mean blaming your subordinates for the mistakes and faults that happen within your team or taking credits for your own. Being a true leader means being responsible to face blames and give credits to the whole as part of the team. Being a true leader means knowing how to care your team and how to fight for them no matter what.
Now, are you a leader too? How would you describe yourself as a leader?. How to be a leader ? Please Consider this a road map to tapping into your leadership potential.
- Step one: Figure out your passion. Determining what you're passionate about it. Try to matching yourself with the right organization. Showing passion for a cause is one great way to break into an organization.
- Step-Two: Start Volunteering. Jump in and start connecting. If you want to get involved with an organization you haven't worked with before, meet with people in the organization.
- Step-Three: Determine who will help. A boss ? A training organization ? A mentor ? Seek out people who will help you to reach your goals.
- Step-Four: Establish a proactive relationship with a mentor. You should make the effort to meet with him or her on regular basis. Be ready to work around your mentors schedule.
- Step-Five: Invest in continuing learning. Take opportunities for training and realize your knowledge in a field becomes irrelevant quickly.
- Step-Six: Go the extra mile in organizations you'd like to lead. Before you can be a leader in an organization, you'll need to prove you can work hard without title.
- Step-Seven: Learn time management. There's on so much time in a day. prioritize and organize.
- Step-Eight: Make commitments. Gradually take on more responsibilities.
- Step-Nine: Stay motivated. Keep at it and keep pressing forward.
- Step-Ten: Practice integrity, empathy and good stewardship. These are the qualities of a strong leader.
" Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great ".
"Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.."

Don was the 1st 2 discover a LOT of Strange Music I still listen-2 2day: Gryphon, David Sancious and Tone, Be-Bop Deluxe, Amazing Blondel, Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, etc. Whenever he dipped in2 the cheap-vinyl cutout bins he ALWAYS pulled out something un-heard-of but brilliant.
I turned him on 2 a few things: Providence, Happy the Man, Genesis, King Crimson, Nick Drake, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Sky, Barclay James Harvest, Sally Oldfield, U.K., Group 87, Incredible String Band.... At the VERY least, I'll miss having a good old friend 2 talk over Strange Music with.
Now then, on 2 the New Stuff:
Porcupine Tree's IN ABSENTIA is overall pretty good, but the star track is "The Sound of Muzak," a lament 4 the future of music that is the best new-2-me thing I've heard in months. Progressive rock with hooks & choruses! The group vocals R very smooth, & there's some good guitar work. The other songs on the album that R similar 2 this R also very pleasant -- but summa their more abstract, gtr-dominated instrumentals don't quite work 4 me. Worth checking out -- but you Out There who R way more up-2-date than me probly already knew that. (A Regular at work tossed the CD 2 me a year ago or so, & it took me this long 2 get 2 it.) I'll B playing it again -- I've already played "The Sound of Muzak" SEVERAL times since Weds....
Mogul Thrash's only album is avg, pretty easily ignorable, tho not offensive. John Wetton doesn't sing enuf (he's not even lead-vocalist), but there's some OK gtr from James Litherland, & the horns even help (tho not so much on the very 1st track, where they seem kinda overblown). Coulda maybe ended-up sounding sorta like Lighthouse, tho not as horn-heavy as Chicago or BS&T.
BJH's "Taking Some Time On" is NOT new 2 me, it's just their best rocker ever. In sorta the same vein as Badfinger's "Rock of All Ages," the Barclays sound nothing like the Moody Blues on this 1. They shoulda done lots more stuff like this. I'm still investigating BJH's HARVEST YEARS best-of -- I have heard & can remember maybe 6 of its nearly 40 songs....
New Order's "Regret" & "True Faith" R still brilliant, but "Blue Monday" ennnhhh ... & what's with the fake-Germanic Kraftwerk-like vocals on "World in Motion"? Is that a World Cup thing...?
Hawkwind -- like Gryphon & David Sancious -- was a band Don discovered based on the strength of their album cover. Anything with a great cover hadta have great music inside, right? Well, sometimes....
Meanwhile, "Urban Guerilla" & "Sonic Attack" R both hysterical fun, "Psychedelic Warlords" has a great riff & mantra-like verses & choruses, & summa the rest get by on chant-power alone. Still haven't made it all the way thru their EPOCHECLIPSE best-of, tho....
Caravan's "Place of My Own" shoulda been a hit -- it's a timeless classic. & check out Dave Sinclair's rockin' keyboards!
BOC, BOC, I've seen 'em 2wice & they still don't get 2 me.... Well, maybe 1/2 the time. Played 1/2 of the 2nd disc of their ESSENTIAL best-of, summa the later, smoother stuff ... & thot it was all smoothed-out a bit 2 much. "In Thee" is pleasant & "Joan Crawford" is funny, & "Shooting Shark" & "Take Me Away" & "Dancing in the Ruins" all have some nice Mood.... "Burnin' for You" really stands out among mosta the others.... But I've gotta circle back & re-hear the earlier, heavier stuff. ...& why the Hell isn't the version of "Astronomy" from IMAGINOS on here?
I wish Richard & Linda Thompson ROCKED a little more. "Dimming of the Day" is a classic brokenhearted love ballad -- you can hear the 1st verse & chorus in the movie DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD. "Beat the Retreat" is the male version of the same heartbroken dirge -- tho not as good. "Calvary Cross" is a live gtr orgy that I wish was a little more intense 4 its 13 minutes. "Roll Over Vaughn Williams" is a LOT more like it -- intense, with lotsa stinging gtr, & the lyrics R FUNNY ... tho I think Richard MEANT it, I don't think he was joking....
KC's "ProzaKc Blues" & "Kitchen Floor Wax Museum" were both better & funnier live. But they're still OK, & funny. Oh, & LOUD, of course. The short pieces from THRAK R pretty cool, I always liked Crimson in their more lyrical moments. & "One Time" is a classic.
Happy's "Precious Laughs" is still great, suprised I wasn't crying by the end of it, considering the subject matter & recent events in my life. But it's still glorious -- probly 2 jumpy & swooping 2 ever have bn a hit, but worth checking out. Stan Whittaker's gtr solos R especially inspirational, the way they soar out of the flute/sax/keybs background. "Hidden Moods" & "New York Dreams Suite" R classy mood music.
Egg's "Nearch" is more of the same atonal, sorty jumpy music from their album THE CIVIL SURFACE (1974), which I may never get thru. If you're a fan of Hatfield and the North or National Health, you might like this -- Dave Stewart's keyboard sounds R 1 of a kind. Not melodic -- the Egg guys never did anything as simple-minded as a "tune" -- but the odd tones will stop you in your trax. If you're a fan, drop me a line & I'll send you my copy of the CD....
Pete's "English Boy" is sorta an update of his earlier "Rough Boys" -- it's the obligatory-rocking opening track from his PSYCHODERELICT, & it's OK. "Sheraton Gibson" is charming, a ditty about life on the road. I am more charmed with each listening by "My Baby Gives it Away," an unlikely song of adoration. & it rocks. "Misunderstood" is still hilarious.
Don was a big Return to Forever/Chick Corea/Al DiMeola fan back in the day, & I didn't always understand why at the time. But "Romantic Warrior" & "Majestic Dance" R both pleasant & stately & seem 2 have actual TUNES I can hang on2. So I'll B looking more in2 their best-of ANTHOLOGY....
More soon....

Ya know Tad, I had Romantic Warrior but really didn't like it much. I seem to went more with Al DiMeola's solo stuff and in the late 70s his Columbia albums had some real mean fusion that even topped Jeff Beck's stuff, then he went World Music and anything after Electric Randevous was a bit too new agey for my liking. I'll grant him this Kiss My Axe (1991 Tomato) is classic in my book. His later stuff for Telarc have moments but they tend to go on too long for me to stay awake.
I noticed that there's a new Hawkwind in stores but really haven't had the nerve to pick it up. They had a 2010 release which was a kinda return to the Acid Daze of Lemmy and company but most of that album was a snoozer. However if your really into weird shit, Nik Turner's Cd is more what Hawkwind did sound like with all that bizarre noise and two note blooze. Maybe I'll have to send that one out to you for your take on it ;)

We describe a pen and paper instrument designed to provide a measure of a range of student beliefs about thermal phenomena. The trial version, administered to 478 high school and university students aged 15–18 years, was able to distinguish belief changes in two populations, year 11 and first-year university physics students. We have used the revised instrument as a pre-test and post-test for evaluating students' conceptual change following instruction. The instrument, called the Thermal Concept Evaluation, is appended.

Answering Your Questions About Exterior Glass Balustrades
Glass balustrades or fencing systems are a good choice for balconies, or for any home with a view that you want to keep open and unobstructed. Glass can also help to block bothersome wind, something to consider if you often eat on your balcony or have a fire pit on your deck, as too many stiff breezes can interfere with your enjoyment of both! If you're thinking of getting glass balustrades installed along a balcony, deck or any area on your property, note a few questions you might have about these features, so you can discuss your options with a fencing contractor.

i painted a picture today.
it is a painting of me.
it is not sophisticated. it does not reveal genius or really even talent.
but it felt so good i have decided to paint for myself anyways.
i wish i could figure out how to download pictures from our new camera onto the computer- then i could show you, but i am proud of myself because i painted for 20 minutes while the baby slept and i realized that the reason i HAVENT been creating is because the way i can create now is really a lot different from the way i could create before- and now i just have to create in the way that fits into my life.
in little pieces and time frames. little bits eventually add up into something bigger.
heres to painting.

Targeting Melanoma Metastasis and Immunosuppression with a New Mode of Melanoma Inhibitory Activity MIA Protein Inhibition
Targeting Melanoma Metastasis and Immunosuppression with a New Mode of Melanoma Inhibitory Activity MIA Protein Inhibition - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, with fast progression and early dissemination mediated by the melanoma inhibitory activity MIA protein. Here, we discovered that dimerization of MIA is required for functional activity through mutagenesis of MIA which showed the correlation between dimerization and functional activity. We subsequently identified the dodecapeptide AR71, which prevents MIA dimerization and thereby acts as a MIA inhibitor. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the binding of AR71 to the MIA dimerization domain, in agreement with in vitro and in vivo data revealing reduced cell migration, reduced formation of metastases and increased immune response after AR71 treatment. We believe AR71 is a lead structure for MIA inhibitors. More generally, inhibiting MIA dimerization is a novel therapeutic concept in melanoma therapy.

Thanks for the link. I have played those rules before and rather like them. They are only a little more complicated than old school type rules, with a few mechanisms that we modern gamers have come to expect eg. reaction fire and suppression come to mind. It scales either for company or battalion, and has a nice command and control system based on unit quality - so not every unit will activate every turn). I can't believe I forgot to include them in my short list for this campaign idea.

In fact, the author did a few articles in Lone Warrior about a campaign he played using those rules in combination with Solitaire Advanced Squad Leader.

And I hadn't even considered how vehicle casualties should work - new recruits, volunteers or conscripts, are easier to come by than increased armament production. How I approach this will depend in part on what level I choose to game at. If I go with something where a base is a squad and a vehicle is one vehicle, I think it's easier to write off the vehicle if it's destroyed than when it represents 2-3 vehicles. In the latter case, I begin to prickle at the thought of the record keeping (for both troops and armor). Then again, recovery on a 6 or perhaps using Featherstone's 2d6 for armor results from his simple WW2 rules might work, but after the battle. (I'd get up to copy the exact table here, but my cat is making that impossible).

Your 1/3rd ratios work for the side that wins, but the loser should lose at least half of their seriously wounded and some of the lightly wounded as prisoners. And the loser's equipment/vehicles should almost all be lost (recovered on a 6?).

Discussion in 'TV Show Forum' started by Reiner, Feb 26, 2002.
So who is it? Not necessarily limited to the crew of Voyager ... (choose "other" then).
Please Redo this as I love 7 of 9 but hate Kess
No, that's the idea: if KES & 7of9 get the vote I can do another poll between the two ...
Why ?
No-one's going to go for kes.
Besides thats unfair on the Doc who could lose because of the an odd ball kes fan.
I have to agree with Big Pasty.
I voted for 7 of 9, I though the program really picked up after she joined the cast same as she did in Dark Skies. But it is unfair on the others. Same as if you joined two of the other, they win because of the combined vote then give them a separate vote. Eg Tuvok and Chakotay coiuld get 49 and 50, giving 99 and could beat the doctor with 80. Then give them a separate vote, and say the winner of that the outright winner. Does not seem fair to me.
Gone for 7 of 9 myself, mind you the Holo Doc runs a close second.
My favourite villain in Voyager was Seska (Martha Hackett), and favourite villain in DS9 was Eddington (Kenneth Marshall).
Sorry guys, there aren't enough fields. Else I would have to throw out any of the other lead characters or "others".
Can't change the poll either, I would need to delete and re-do it (which results in loosing the results to date).
Ok, let's assume then "Kes or 7 of 9" just stands for 7 of 9. If you want to vote for Kes use "Others". Fair enough?
I noticed someone voted for other, do we get to know who?
I thought that all of the characters were pretty one dimensional but seven had the best body.
I see that two people have voted for Tuvok - how sad
No, logical.
Just found I can actually edit the poll, so I removed Kes. Just assumed all the votes where for 7 of 9 anyway ...
Sevvvvennnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! PHWWWWOOOOARGGHH!!!!
For fans of Robert Picardo, The Doctor he apears in Frasier tonight.

Four essential rules for customer emails
When you get a signup from someone, whether for a product or an occasional newsletter, you are getting much more than just an email address.
They are trusting you to take a bit of their attention so you can show them what you've got. You are getting the responsibility of not flooding their inbox with irrelevant messages. Basically you are starting a relationship with someone and it's important to behave how the other half expects.
What follows is a guest post from Javier Sanz, a marketing professional working for WooRank, the website review and SEO tool, which is also an Intercom customer.
Some days, with the amount of email I can receive, my email inbox looks really messy. Is that my fault, for subscribing to every service out there on the internet? Or is it the fault of the many companies that misuse the superpower that is email?
Like Des, I watched Spiderman too. I like to think that when Peter Parker says "with great power comes great responsibility", if he was working in a more modern industry rather than a newspaper, he would have been referring to email.
Sadly I think too many companies don't appreciate the superpower that has been shared with them. Here are some examples of what, in my humble opinion, are redundant emails that instead of commanding the interest of recipients, are actually bothering them.
1. Only communicate when you have something useful to say
The team at Intercom is making great efforts to avoid flooded inboxes. As a result at WooRank we have been able to decrease the number of emails sent to each user just by triggering appropriate in-app messages. But you can do much more than sending messages in another format, that doesn't hit overloaded inboxes. You can aim at sending emails that really inform, and not only notify about something.
At the very least you should make sure the emails you send are more than just a hook to drive traffic to a site. How many times have you received email just to tell you that there is something new happening in a web app, but they don't indicate to you what is happening?
Companies: allow us to know more about what's going on your sites without accessing them. At least then clicking on your email will not be in vain.
It's always good practice to show, instead of tell, so the image below gives you an idea how we do it in WooRank. Any modifications or updates regarding the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page) feature we have, can be found not only within the platform (as is logical), but also within the email itself. Here's an example of what a customer receives.
2. Regular empty emails bother people
Many online products have jumped onto the trend of sending daily, weekly and/or monthly email alerts which gather together all the "important" information for their customers. As part of our features at WooRank we allow our users to set their own weekly and monthly email recaps.
I'm not going to list here the best practices for sending these kind of alerts. But if nothing has happened on an account you shouldn't be sending these emails by default. The following sketch is based on a real-life example of a startup which sends emails even if they are blank.
Companies: Sending regular empty emails doesn't communicate anything at all and actually bothers the recipient. Next time you send another email to that same recipient, you face a higher chance that she clicks Send to Spam rather than opening it. I'm pretty sure if you look in your inbox archive, you will find a bunch of examples like this.
3. Don't direct people to parts of your product they can't access
Above is another real-life example of a situation that could be avoided if marketing teams properly used the tools they have at their disposal.
Tempted by curiosity, I decided to signup for a trial of a product. I completed the inital setup and I played with it for the first few days of the trial, but after that I totally forgot about it. Some time later I was interested in exploring the product a bit more so I did a quick search in my inbox archive and found one of their email lifecycle emails. But it drove me to a non-working page where I had no further options than bouncing out of the site.
As a freelance marketer I have been able to assess several email marketing tools used by my clients and lately I have had the opportunity to play with Intercom. It's easier than ever not to send excessive emails or to be ready for situation like this one. Don't assume that your users will read your emails just seconds after you press the "send" button. Anticipate what might happen down the line.
4. Think about what's valuable to the customer, not to your business
Another common error is bothering users for something you don't really need from them. If you've bought online or entered your credit card to sign up for a recurring charge, you probably know what I'm talking about.
Almost all the online products out there in the Internet which are supported by recurring payments will reach out to you when your card stops being valid. Even if you are not using any of their paid services – you might be a freemium user or have an account but not actively using their services – most of them keep asking for it.
Would it not make more sense to trigger that email only if the company really needs that info from a user? Even a web notification or blocking access to the platform would be more effective instead of asking repeatedly for this information by email. And it's not just that I'm picky about it, others are aware of the situation too.
PS I'm a fan & user of Heroku, just pointing out something that could be improved ;-).
Communicate When It's Really Needed
Email has consolidated its position as marketing tool that drives quality traffic to your site. That's nothing new under the sun there and I agree 100 per cent that it's a useful tactic. But I have a weakness for using it only when it's totally necessary. Patrick McKenzie, better known as @patio11, tweeted about the importance of this.
In terms of email marketing, the future looks awesome: there are new challenges, but new tools are being developed to face them. But let's not forget that marketing is just communication with the purpose of selling. When the message starts being repetitive, doesn't make sense, and is not tailored for the user it becomes miscommunication.
Please, more communication when it's really needed, but put your email bots on a tight leash. Don't misuse my inbox, please.

Secrets Can Kill is Her Interactive's first Nancy Drew adventure game and first Nancy Drew game at all. It is based on Nancy Drew Files #1: Secrets Can Kill. The game's "color" became the teal that represented Nancy Drew on Her Interactive's website.
As of August 1, 2010, it has been discontinued and replaced with the remastered edition.
Synopsis Edit
Read between the lines to expose a killer!
A family visit throws you, as Nancy Drew, into the scene of a crime that happened just last night! You are taking a nice summer vacation in Florida with your Aunt Eloise and while you're there, a student at Paseo Del Mar High School - where Eloise works as a librarian - is murdered in the school itself. Now Jake Rogers is dead, and a secret died with him - or did it? Although the police are looking into the matter, Eloise asks you to investigate as well, so you must go undercover to solve the case. Roll up your sleeves and dig into an engrossing mystery that is full of places to explore, puzzles to solve,, suspects to question, danger to evade and evidence to evaluate. A wily killer may be on the loose...so keep your wits about you.
- Dust for fingerprints and examine everything with your magnifying glass
- Explore a high school and snoop through confidential files on the suspects
- Discover the first Nancy Drew PC game that started the #1 selling adventure series
Nancy only encounters four students, three of which are actually in the building. It is most likely after school, and these people are just hanging out. Nancy also seems to be wearing funky vision goggles that make her see people in two dimensions.
Daryl GrayEdit
Daryl is the student body president and works at Maxine's Diner. He found Jake's body and is the only student who knows that Nancy is investigating the murder.
Connie WatsonEdit
Connie is somewhat evasive. She didn't like Jake, but says no one liked him.
Hal TanakaEdit
Hal is a Japanese exchange student who's studying to be a doctor. If he does not get a scholarship, his parents will bring him back to Japan, so he uses almost all his time for study. His real name is difficult to pronounce, so he shortened it to "Hal".
Hector "Hulk" SanchezEdit
Hulk is the school's best athlete. A bit pushy and arrogant, he prides himself on his ability to play football and intends to be a pro player.
Phone FriendsEdit
The phone is located in the Student Union at the school. To activate it, you'll need the phone card from the right drawer of the desk in the first room of Aunt Eloise's house.
Bess MarvinEdit
Bess is one of Nancy's best friends. She offers Nancy advice and hints.
George FayneEdit
George is Nancy's other best friend, and also offers her advice and hints. She and Bess are cousins.
Ned NickersonEdit
Ned is Nancy's boyfriend, and also offers her advice and hints.
Others Edit
Also, you might like to try some other numbers in the game, such as the pizza place, the drug depot, Maxine's Diner, Aunt Eloise's house (the number on the phone card), and the police department.

Bad Hair Day
So I went about researching a new salon. I like the best when it comes my hair, I like swanky, chic, hip, and really don't care how much it costs. It's my hair after all. So I went to City Search and found that one salon had received the Best of Award for two years running, and it was in Winter Park, a really nice area of Orlando. Surely, this would be great.
I called and made my appointment. It was a little unsettling when they asked if I'd like my hair dried and styled afterwards--for an additional $18! "Opposed to walking out with dripping wet hair?" I asked. The answer was yes. And while that might turn many people off, I thought, "wow, this place must be really great if they charge extra just for that." I was excited.
So I began my drive there, enjoying my music on the radio and looking forward to a relaxing afternoon. I kept driving and driving. I passed the nice parts of Winter Park and think surely I've missed it. But the numbers are going in the right direction, so I keep going and going and going. Finally I see it--in a rundown, ramshackle strip mall with only a single neon sign to identify it "Salon"--not the name of the salon, just Salon. Not good, but I'm still thinking maybe it's a hidden treasure--after all it's City Search's Best. So I park, walk up and look in the window only to find the unswankiest, unhippest, rundown looking joint with a bunch of middle age ladies sitting under hairdryers.
I panic, think of the horror my hair will ensure...and I hightail it back to my car and get out of there. I didn't answer my cell phone and didn't call them to cancel because what was I going to say, "Your place looks like a dump there's no way I'm trusting you with my hair?"
I do feel bad for standing up the poor stylist, but come on!!! City Search's BEST for two year's running. They have to be paying off people to vote or waging some kind of big blue-hair campaign, or sleeping with the judge or something. My Seattle salon was City Search's Best, and it was. This, clearly wasn't.
My penance I guess is the roots I'll continue to sport for another week or so and the research that will go into finding yet another salon.
The good thing is that since my time was free I got in a five-mile run. It was hot, but not unbearable. It didn't run fast--no idea how fast--but I felt good. I took a couple short walk breaks and at the half way point ran into Walgreens for a bottle of water. My goal is to run the whole 5-mile loop without even one walk break, and then I'll move up to some more mileage.
Happy Saturday!

Not even sure how I stumbled on your blog...
You might want to try Bangz in Winter Park. It's in downtown Winter Park.

LOL ... I love that you ditched the appointment! HA! That is totally something I would do. It is your HAIR after all!
You're so good ... I need to start running again.

Hair is not intended to be subjected to Supercuts, and I hope you find your celebu-stylist there soon.
You don't give up a good stylist, ever (except for moving halfway across the country). How can we forget Dean? After all, you set me up with him, and we dated briefly (all of 6 weeks, 3 years ago) and then it ended abruptly, without explanation. But of course there was no way I was going to lose a good hairsylist over a wilting non-relationship.
Can you believe that I've been getting my haircut with him for 5 years now? In fact, I'm due for another cut and color. Maybe Dean has another brother down in Florida. :)

I applaud you for having the courage to turn and run. I'm sure there are great stylists serving their time in rundown shops, but in my experience, it is a rarity.

I wouldn't have gone in there either. The designer in me LOVES that it was so bad, the sign only said "SALON". Priceless!
Good luck - I always advise to be on the lookout in public, and when you see someone with a great head of hair, go tell 'em so, and ask where she gets her hair done. Works beautifully to find the good pediatricians & OBs too :)

|Lochinver is a fishing village at the head of a sea loch (no surprise, Loch Inver!) on the west coast of Scotland about 17 miles north of Ullapool (36 miles by road). The loch faces west with hills to the north and south.
The low power relay station is located on top of a square building on the eastern end of the harbour complex (visible on Google maps), possibly some kind of fish factory. I suspect this location was chosen as one of the most elevated positions, central to the village and with a clear sea path across to Eitshal on Lewis nearly 50 miles away.
The weather on the day was very cooperative. Not only was the trip to the village to get some photographs for mb21 successful, the folks in the nearby visitor centre very helpfully provided lots of local information for nearby walks, including the Point of Stoer a few miles to the north. From here it is possible to see across to the Isle of Lewis.

Stock Market Outlook for November 8, 2017
Risk aversion suggesting investor uncertainty pertaining to tax reform.
*** Stocks highlighted are for information purposes only and should not be considered as advice to purchase or to sell mentioned securities. As always, the use of technical and fundamental analysis is encouraged in order to fine tune entry and exit points to average seasonal trends.
Stocks Entering Period of Seasonal Strength Today:
- No stocks identified for today.
The Markets
Stocks closed mixed on Tuesday as investors showed concerns pertaining to the progress towards tax reform. The S&P 500 Index shed a mere two basis points, charting a minor doji, indecision candlestick in the process. The session was notably risk averse with consumer staples and utilities realizing solid gains, while cyclical sectors, mainly consumer discretionary and financials, accounted for the bulk of the losses. The S&P 500 Utilities sector index closed at a fresh all-time high, seemingly undeterred by the prospect of higher bond yields. The longer-term trend of higher-highs and higher-lows remains intact. Investors will typically rotate to these areas of the market in order to trim portfolio beta, hedging themselves in case of a market downturn. Seasonally, utilities tend to weaken relative to the market through to early December, at which point they strengthen, on average, into the end of the year.
UTILITIES Relative to the S&P 500
Risk-aversion was also evident on the Russell 2000 Index, thought to be a proxy of the Trump tax trade. The small-cap benchmark fell by 1.26%, trading back to around its rising 50-day moving average. Short-term resistance is apparent at the 20-day moving average. A retracement following September's breakout would be normal and healthy. Seasonally, we are within the window that investors should be seeking an entry point to the small-cap segment of the market, which tends to outperform large-cap counterparts closer to the end of November. November and December have tended to be strong months for the benchmark, gaining an average of 2.0% and 2.9%, respectively, over the past 20 years. The index is heavily weighted in financial stocks, therefore a bet on the direction of this sector of the market is often appropriate.
On the economic front, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed an upbeat result pertaining to the number of opportunities available. The headline print indicated that openings were marginally higher in September, hitting 6.093 million from 6.090 million previous. Stripping out the seasonal adjustments, openings were actually lower by 1.5%, better than the average decline for September of 2.1%. The year-to-date change is running around 1% above average, fuelled by gains in the durable good manufacturing and the professional/business services segments of the economy. The skills miss-match amongst potential applicants remains an ongoing problem getting open positions filled. As for hires, activity was down by 11.1%, more than double the 4.9% average decline for this last month of the third quarter. Weakness was spread fairly evenly across the four regions covered in the report. Quits, a gauge of the confidence of workers to leave the current positions, were lower by 12.0%, better than the 15.7% average decline for the month. Overall, while plenty of positions are available, filling them with the economy in a state of full employment is proving to be difficult. Weak wage growth and a pool of applicants without the required skills could constrain further payroll growth into the future.
