Picture a snowy winter's night inside a circa-1876 manor house where you've curled up in front of a warm fire with a book you've retrieved from your library and a bottle of fine wine you've fetched from your cellar.
Or imagine greeting guests at a festive holiday gathering as they step through double doors of leaded glass into a grand foyer -- reminiscent of "Gone with the Wind" with its glittering chandelier and winding staircase.
These fantasies can become reality -- for someone willing to plunk down about $1.5 million for the more than 8,000-square-foot stone house called Homewood, recently listed for sale by Joan Cochran of Long & Foster Realtors.

23 Feb 2017
On Tuesday Barbara Comstock held another one of her conference calls, during which she said some incredibly stupid things. One of the reasons Comstock likes this format is that she can't be asked anything hard. For instance, today we learned that the first question was conveniently asked by a local Republican operative! Despite the large number of easy questions, Comstock still managed to screw things up.
A caller then asked Comstock about about increased infrastructure and military spending. He said these things sounded all well and good but he wanted to know:
"How are we going to pay for this? What is the plan?"
Comstock started off with the standard Republican nonsense of "we'll grow our way out of this!" Never mind the fact that there is no correlation between tax cuts and job growth or investment growth or really growth of any kind other than growth in the deficit. Now your average Republican would just leave it at "tax cuts good" and move on but Comstock was not quite finished with her answer.
"If we can get better treatments and cures for diabetes we will save tens and hundreds of billions of dollars."
This is a monumentally stupid thing to say - even by Barbara Comstock standards. Let's take a minute to examine just how nonsensical her plan is. Remember that the original question was about how do we reduce the debt.
Here's the Comstock Plan:
- Spend on infrastructure (Cost $500 billion to $1 trillion)
- Increase military spending (Cost $500 billion to $1 trillion)
- Cut taxes (Cost $9.5 trillion)
- Cure diabetes (Saves "tens and hundreds of billions of dollars")
Let's suppose that Barbara Comstock already has a secret cure for diabetes. Let's suppose further that it saves us "hundreds of billions of dollars" which is at the high end of the range she gave. That still leaves us a little bit short of the $11.5 trillion dollars that Trump's plans will cost us.
If this is a typical example of the kinds of "thoughts" that are going on in Barbara Comstock's head, maybe it's best that she continue to avoid town halls in order to avoid further embarrassment.

A woman was robbed at gunpoint in Lexington's Chevy Chase neighborhood early Thursday morning. According to Lt. Melissa Sedlaczek, the victim was arriving home on the 300 block of Cassidy Avenue at 2:23 a.m. when two men came out of the bushes and approached her while she was still in her car.
One of the men was carrying a handgun. They took the victim's watch and fled on foot, Sedlaczek said.
The suspects were described as two black males, around 18 years old, wearing gray hoodies and jeans. One of the men was wearing a black mask. No arrests have been made.

There are (literally) pieces of me in all my books. Just a smidgen, here and there. Stuff like:
– Nerdy references (a.k.a quotes in disguise)
– Memories
– Something from a dream
– Details I notice
– Food I rave over
– A piece of clothing I own
– Something I saw
– My preferences (zucchini is better than peas)
I guess it's easy to forget that I'm not my characters. But I'm not! It would be super weird to write myself into books, because a) I'm not that cool, and b) it would be awkward, and c) the point of writing (in my opinion) is to see the world through other people's eyes. I defeat that purpose if I just replicated myself in my characters.
It's hard to send my
babies books out into the world, to be judged and scrutinized, particularly if readers assume I'm the characters.
Sometimes I have different standards to my characters. For example: Blue in SIX likes mayonnaise. Ew. Gross. I'm gagging here. I hate mayonnaise (unless it's mixed with hard boiled eggs and curry powder and turned into glorious devilled eggs…)
Okay! Okay! There is more to my books then food. (I promise.)
So, I will make a list of ways my characters ARE and ARE NOT like me, for the benefit of the world.
(You're welcome, in advance.)
Eden from BOYBOTS
Like me:
– Calls names (like Thumbelina or Glitch) to people she likes.
– Will be shot at for the glory of chocolate. (Well, I haven't actually done that…)
– Wears nerdy tee-shirts.
Not like me:
– Is OCD about…everything.
– Shoots people and likes guns.
– Enjoys manual labour, such as home renovations.
– Doesn't like books.
Blue from SIX
Like me:
– Believes the mantra: food before action.
– People who eat cucumbers are seriously lacking in…something.
– Has a dry inner commentary about everything and everyone.
Not like me:
– Thinks that if people act like they hate you, they don't really hate you. (He's deluded.)
– Doesn't stick to his own standards.
– Will lie and connive and none of it hurts his conscious. Nope, not even a wittle bit.
– Doesn't like Coke at all.
Micah from BLOOD
Like me:
– Thinks people talk too much.
– Dislikes shoes.
– Dislikes suspicious food, people, circumstances and really bad eggs.
Not like me:
– Doesn't like reading or books.
– Thinks one person is like another.
– Shows he cares by ignoring people.
(Okay, Micah has some serious problems. Poor pumpkin.)
Tony from CANONIC
Like me:
– Knows he's awesome.
– Loves music.
– Texts like an illiterate cuckoo clock.
Not like me:
– Doesn't see the point in fangirling.
– Thinks his family is annoying.
– Loves people! People everywhere! Oh yeah! (Me: Get back beast.)
Indie from WILD THINGS IN YOUR HEAD
Like me:
– Is awkward around people.
– Likes eccentric things.
– Adores his family.
Not like me:
– Plays violin on the roof to be irritating (though given the chance, I might…)
– Never speaks up for himself and assumes everyone else has it figured out.
– Never enhances the truth (oh, wait, should I be admitting this…)
– Loves maths and numbers.
– Kind of…psychotic.
Cait is trying to get enthused for her latest writing project. It's. not. working. Since she finished writing Star Rust, she'd like to rewrite Six, because she misses the characters. They're funny. But violent. She's reading TEARDROP by Lauren Kate and wishing she wasn't. She is looking forward to lunch.

text: My work has recently evolved from traditional, Tiffany style, stained glass panels, into a new combination. The new works reflect my love for vintage glass and the stunning combinations I am able to design and execute by combining these two elements. Each heritage glass element or found item inspires my design of a unique, one of a kind, panel, capturing the vintage item in an original, traditional, stained glass background of my own design. The work has evolved into two collections "By the Sea" and "In the Garden". When you explore the "Current Work" portfolio I believe you will agree that this new approach has generated another layer of interest to a venerable art form. Some pieces have a three dimensional quality and jump from the frame with crystal, Murano glass, and a variety of metals enhancing the panel's beauty.

Android users, get your thumbs ready for our roundup of the newest and best games for the first quarter of the year. The best android games for 2014?s first quarter serve up some of the most diverse, engaging and distracting time-vortices ever.
Here at the Bitbag, we strive to give you good reviews and practical knowledge on the apps you should have. This means that we?ve probably spent tons of time playing the games we?re featuring now and we hope you?re going to enjoy them too. If you?re planning to slack off or have a date with your Android phone, then these are the best games to have right now.
So without further ado, here is the Bitbag?s list of the best Android games for the first quarter of 2014:
Smash Hit
Simple, beautiful and free, this game takes you on a 3D journey through a path of crystals, glass and platforms with nothing but shiny balls to break the obstacles apart. The more crystals you hit, the more sphere ammunition you get but beware! Hitting obstacles such as doors or glass panes are going to quickly deplete your ammo. You can get the full version to save at checkpoints, but otherwise, it?s a free-to-play game time sink.
Steve Jackson wrote a novel and now it?s an Android app! Just like ye olde Choose Your Own Adventure books, Sorcery! Is a text-heavy game that lets you make decisions based on a story premise. It also includes classic RPG elements such as inventory, stats and a small combat system. Once you?ve finished one route, do it all over again for a different story!
Deceptively simple, it looks like a math puzzle, but it?s actually just matching the same numbers in a row or column. Still math, but when you play it, you?ll find out how difficult it is to get higher numbers to pair. If you?ve played 2048 on the PC in all its quirky and weird iterations, this is the premium, charming version for your Android phone.

Against Democracy: Literary Experience in the Era of EmancipationsBy: Simon During (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThis book argues that we can no longer envision a political system that might practically displace democracy or, more accurately, global democratic state capitalism. Democracy has become fundamental: It extends deeper and deeper into everyday life; it grounds and limits our political thought and values. That is the sense in which we do indeed live at history's end. But this end is not a happy one, because the system that we now have does not satisfy tests that we can legitimately put to it. In this situation, it is important to come to new terms with the fact that literature, at least until about 1945, was predominantly hostile to political democracy. Literature's deep-seated conservative, counterdemocratic tendencies, along with its capacity to make important distinctions among political, cultural, and experiential democracies and its capacity to uncover hidden, nonpolitical democracies in everyday life, is now a resource not just for cultural conservatives but for all those who take a critical attitude toward the current political, cultural, and economic structures. Literature, and certain novelists in particular, helps us not so much to imagine social possibilities beyond democracy as to understand how life might be lived both in and outside democratic state capitalism. Drawing on political theory, intellectual history, and the techniques of close reading, Against Democracy offers new accounts of the ethos of refusing democracy, of literary criticism's contribution to that ethos, and of the history of conservatism, as well as innovative interpretations of a range of writers, including Tocqueville, Disraeli, George Eliot, E. M. Forster, and Saul Bellow.
About AuthorSimon During is an Australian Research Professor at the University of Queensland. His most recent books are Modern Enchantments: The Cultural Power of Secular Magic and Exit Capitalism: Literary Culture, Theory and Post-Secular Modernity.

Dark days of Texas- Tammy's understandingA Chapter by Coyote Poetry
A new chapter.
Dark days of Texas-Tammy's understanding
Tammy held silence for one hour and she went to Shirley. She asked her. Do you believe Dirty Deed Eric killed my lover and hung her. Shirley look serious and she thought for a few minute. She answered. No. Not his style. He killed hateful and racism men in a New York second. He loved the woman. His mother Little Wolf taught him the bow and arrow and to respect women. Did you see him kill her? Tammy looked sad and she answered no. I knew something wasn't right. My lover was below the hanging rope and she had some herbal medicine and some water. Someone tried to help her. Last person seen by the house was Dirty Deed Eric and Moonshine Eddie. I was told. They murdered three cowboys in the city for unknown reasons. The Gleason brothers. They hated us. The said we were sinner and the devils. Tammy begin to cry and Shirley wrapped her arms around her. Shirley cries with her.
Old man John could never sleep. Always too much on his mind. He knew in the early morning. His final trip as a Texas Ranger would start. He had tracked Dirty Deed Eric once and he found him. He couldn't kill him with a knife or a gun. He believe Eric didn't want to kill him. If he did. He would be dirt and sand now. He marked his face and cut his chest open knowing. He would bleed only. He had another bad dream. Damn civil war haunting him nightly. He looked to the wall and pray for his friend Colonel Will. He was killed early in the war. Will was his mentor in the Texas rangers. Will asked him in 1862. Texas Rangers releasing the good men to fight for the North. The Union Army made him a captain and he was in the hit and run division for four years. He tried to drink a lot of whiskey to erase the memory of killing kids. The whiskey rarely worked. He was thankful he had the opportunity to find Jalan and Dominic. His unit saved 100 black soldiers. Eighty went north. He told them. Go to Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Free territory for strong men. Stand tall and only accept respect. Jalan and Dominic went back to Texas with him. The Texas Rangers took Jalan because of his demands or he would quit. Dominic was wounded three times and killed more men than we could count. His face was ugly with hate when Old Josh(The commander) asked him at the Texas Ranger interview. You know you must be fair. Southern men or not. We don't murder. The war is over. John didn't see Dominic till the final meeting in Western Texas hills two years back. He knew he joined Dirty Deed Eric after he killed three ex-southern soldiers in a tavern in Austin. They wanted to hang him and he made the Austin press front page. This was a mistake. Two days after the fast trial. Eric and Eddie killed the sheriff and three deputies. Dominic joined them and he been quiet lately but he was filled with hate and wasn't seeking forgiveness. He remembered their last real words. Dominic told him. I like you Northern people. You fought and died for me and my race. I owe you my life Major Handsome Johnnie. Please don't come for me. I was born poor, mean and in hell. I will go there without a struggle one day my old friend into hell's gate. I don't want to kill you.
John remembered his home in Michigan. His father a Irish man who escaped New York city hate and lived a good life in deep Michigan. He missed Michigan and he told Sherry. If I live. Me and you. We will go deep into Michigan and begin our life. Sherry agreed and she prayed they would survive the dark days a coming. He remembered his father anger when he left for Texas. His father words were true. You won't learn nothing in Texas except blood and regret.
He remembered when he met William "Big Foot'" Hamilton in 1828, he was nineteen years old. William was recruiting for the Texas Rangers and he applied. He remembered how honored he was to meet the hero and the great man. He asked him 10 questions about his life and work. The last question was the important one. Can you fight and can you defend yourself? He answered. I can fight and I can shoot a rifle with great skill, hit a gold piece with a pistol at 50 yards and I learn the long blade at seven in Michigan. William laughed at the words and he told him. You ain't Texas born but you are Texas rebirth. Remember my new Texas Ranger. We kill, when we must. We protect the innocence people and we don't choose sides. We are law-men. Not killers.
He was awoke from his thoughts and the daydream by Sherry. She asked him. Having the bad dreams again my love. He turned to her. He kissed her and he whispered to her. Just thinking about who I'm and who I will be. Sherry brought her nude body closer and she wrapped her long legs tightly around him and she whispered. We will survive the bad coming days and you and I. We will go to Michigan. Buy some land away from the city and near the lakes. We will hunt and fish till we are tire of living. Remember Johnnie. Only the good die young. Me and you are old and cold. We need some place to forget the past and learn to be civil again.

Bears movements caught on camera thanks to virtual nets
The plight of Hudson Bay's polar bears is being tracked by a network of remote cameras controlled by virtual network technology
The system is helping Polar Bear International researchers to record the dwindling polar bear population as they head Arctic-wards for the winter.
The digital system, set up by SeeMore Wildlife Systems and using RealVNC's Virtual Network Computing solution, comprises an IP-based network system of digital microwave links to transmit images across the tundra from Cape Churchill cameras to the remote town of Churchill. This in turn is connected to an Alaskan control centre via the Internet.
The work also involves a hi-tech Tundra Buggy that fed live Polar Bear Cam streaming video through a 45Mb wireless link to the town of Churchill and then to the National Geographic website via the Internet.
"As the cameras were unmanned and powered by methanol fuel cells, it would have been virtually impossible to keep the system running without using VNC," says Daniel Zatz of SeeMore Wildlife Systems. "RealVNC solution works with many platforms across any network, so my team could manage the network and download images from PC, Apple Mac or handheld device."
The project in Hudson Bay was part of a larger effort led by Polar Bears International to increase awareness about polar bears. "It is important to raise awareness of climate change and inspire people to care more about this increasingly endangered species," Zatz adds. "VNC technology has certainly played an important role in helping to draw attention to these beautiful animals."

As England begin the Trans-Tasman tri-series Eoin Morgan offered hope for Tymal Mills after a rough period during which the left-armer's stock as a Twenty20 specialist has plummeted. It was only last year that the Sussex quick was playing international T20 cricket and was picked up in the IPL auction for £1.4m by Royal Challengers Bangalore. This time around he was one of 16 England players to go unsold in the auction.
The snub came as Mills suffered a difficult second Big Bash League season. Two games for Brisbane Heat in last winter's competition led to a two-year deal with Hobart Hurricanes. But while his Sussex team-mate Jofra Archer has earned himself cult status in these parts Mills has struggled.
In five of his 10 innings he has conceded more than 10 runs an over and no one has conceded more boundaries in a single BBL season. His eight wickets came at a pricey average of 48.62 and, as a result, Mills was dropped for both the semi-final and final, which Hobart lost to Adelaide Strikers.
Those who have faced Mills during this BBL have noted a drop in pace. As a result his slower ball has lost its effectiveness.
It is a slump that has not gone unnoticed by England's white-ball captain but Morgan still believes there is a resurgence to come. So far, Mills has played only four international T20s, taking three wickets. His last appearance came more than a year ago against India. "He [Mills] has gone through a tough couple of months which everybody can go through," said Morgan, speaking at the Bellerive Oval, Mills's adopted home ground, where England play Australia on Wednesday.
"The way he comes back from the sort of form he's in will determine how he goes over the next few years. We see him as a guy who can gain a huge amount of experience playing in tournaments around the world."
This week the Hurricanes coach, Gary Kirsten, said that he, too, will be monitoring Mills's upcoming commitments, such as his stint with Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League, which starts on 22 February. Mills has one more year on his BBL deal.
"It'll be interesting to see how he goes in some of these T20 competitions coming up," Kirsten told the Tasmanian newspaper, the Mercury. "I think the learning he takes out of it is that you've got to stay on your game the whole time.
"You've got to keep reinventing yourself. By his own admission he has work to do."
Last summer England's chairman of selectors, James Whittaker, outlined to Mills that he was unlikely to be selected for this tri-series squad because it was felt a run of games with minimal travel, which the BBL could offer, was best for his development. Morgan agreed this would be the best approach for a player whose spinal condition limits him to the shortest form of the game.
"Due to his fitness background we probably wouldn't consider him until a World Cup year – pulling him out of a Big Bash just for a tri-series," said Morgan. "We feel like getting a long string of games together and having a set plan could be a better plan than travelling more, maybe playing or not playing."
Morgan said this T20 series, featuring two games against both Australia and New Zealand – and a prospective final on 21 February – offers fringe ODI players the chance to show their worth before next year's World Cup. Australia opened the series on Saturday at the SCG by beating New Zealand by seven wickets.
"At the moment everybody in this squad is playing a big part in the structure of the squad based around the 50-over tournament. There's about four guys who are on the periphery, so it is an opportunity for them to stake their claim."

It is a sad day in the A.M. talk show world. This morning, Meredith Vieira bid adieu to NBC's Today, and in the immortal words of Hoda Kotb, it was a "blubberfest."
Her co-hosts, Matt Lauer, Ann Curry, Al Roker, and Natalie Morales, all sported "I Love Meredith" shirts, and each offered a mini-tribute to the departing host. Matt spoke about her small ego; Curry talked about how they're "family"; and Morales waxed poetic over Vieira's general amazingness. Then, of course, Meredith offered her own tearful goodbye. Hoda was right.
Enough of the sappy stuff, though. Meredith's leaving to spend time with her family (not to mention she's stupid rich). Let's take a look at some of Meredith's greatest Today moments -- sans the tears.
Meredith has an awkward moment with James Franco. Franco, who was being interviewed by Vieira and Lauer for his Oscar nomination in 127 Hours, overheard Vieira talking to Colin Firth before his segment, who was also nominated. Things get awkward ... and dirty.
Meredith gets into an "icing fight" with Matt. Oh, you guys.
Meredith accidentally drops the "S" bomb on air. Isn't there supposed to be, like, a two-second delay or something?
Meredith goes sans makeup. You have to sit through a bit of Kathy and Hoda, but if you skip to around 2:20, there's Meredith. Bare-faced as the day is long.
Meredith ice-skating with Will Ferrell. She's a great news anchor, not such a graceful skater.
Meredith challenges Hillary Clinton. This took some balls. Meredith's obviously got 'em.
Meredith dances with Apollo Ono. The skating didn't work out so much, so why not try dancing?
Meredith's first day on Today. She flubbed her line. It happens.
Meredith takes on McCain. And wins.
Meredith dances again. With the Rockettes!
What are some of your favorite Meredith Vieira moments?

A Chinese woman left with a massive bald patch after trying to eat corn attached to a drill has released footage of herself undergoing medical treatment to prove the mishap was not faked.
The long-haired woman was attempting to replicate an internet challenge that requires participants to eat a corn cob in under 10 seconds with the help of the drill.
Her quest for viral fame went far better than she could have expected but not for the reason she intended.
After a few seconds her hair became entangled in the fast-spinning drill, which ripped a huge chunk of hair from the middle of her head, leaving her with a large bald patch.
The video went viral and quickly led to claims that the stunt had been staged.
To prove the doubters wrong the woman has released a video showing her being treated by a doctor.
The doctor dabs her patch with a cloth but it looks like the woman will still be bald long after the internet has forgotten about her.

2nd and 3rd place in WSBK Supersport, Imola 2012
Pole position rider Sam Lowes (Bogdanka PTR Honda – Carbonin partner) tried everything he knew on the final few laps of the FIM Supersport World Championship race at Imola to get past eventual winner Fabien Foret (Kawasaki), but he could not get into a position to make his final move.
In finishing second by only 0.574s Lowes promoted himself to second in the championship, on a day when lots of top names and new talents experienced some vastly differing results.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOSel7W4CD4
Ronan Quarmby (PTR Honda – Carbonin partner) was ninth on lap one, having been 11th on the grid, but rode through with good pace to set-up a final lap struggle with Roberto Tamburini (Team Lorini Honda). Quarmby came out on top to record his first podium finish, but he only beat Tamburini by 0.004s after their dramatic exit from the final chicane.
Jules Cluzel (PTR Honda) was looking good for a top four finish, but fell on lap six, at the infamous final chicane. Martin Jessopp (Riders PTR Honda) had to take a ride-through penalty for cutting the last chicane.
Sam Lowes (Bogdanka PTR Honda) Race result: 2nd Championship position: 2nd "That was a tough race. We changed the bike a bit for today and the team gave me a bike that as capable of winning. Fabien was great last year at this track and this year he did not put a foot wrong. I nearly matched his times towards the end, but I could not go any faster to catch him, but fair play to all of us, and I am glad to get my first podium of the year. I made a good start from pole and had to control the race from the front. Fabien is a fantastic rider and he's always good at this circuit so well done to him for the win. We're getting closer and I feel good and confident. I didn't make any mistakes in the race and the bike and tyres were working well until the end. We're now second in the championship so I'm really looking forward to Assen."
Ronan Quarmby (PTR Honda) Race result: 3rd Championship position: 4th "It is amazing to get third and I did not expect to get onto the podium from my starting position. I pushed hard this weekend and I cannot say thank you enough to my team because the bike was good this weekend. What an amazing race day after getting on the podium. My bike was all good and yesterday we did not know which tyre to run and we made a good decision in the end. The team was awesome and I have never been so happy in a long time racing. It got difficult at the end so I had to get my head down and I knew Tamburini was close. I block-passed him on the last corner and came out in the wrong gear so had to get my weight forward and try to get to the line in front of him which I did – just."
Jules Cluzel (PTR Honda) Race result: DNF Championship position: 9th "I made a mistake and crashed I think touched the kerb a little bit too much maybe, with too much angle. I had some chatter and it was my mistake. I was not so good before this and the gap from the first group started to be bigger. I had some movement and some sliding and maybe I did not take the good tyre choice. Anyway, it is on to Assen and I hope to get a better result there."
Mathew Scholtz (Bogdanka PTR Honda) Race result: Disqualified Championship position: 20th "I made a bad start and dropped down a bit, but quickly recovered a few positions. Then I tried to pass another rider and had to go straight through the last chicane, which dropped me down to 17th. I worked my way up to seventh again and was closing in on the riders ahead, but then I saw the black flag. I never saw the penalty board and it's a pity because I had a really good pace and I was very happy with the race until then. Overall it was still a good weekend and I hope that we can go to Assen now and show what we can do."

These have been lightly worn and are in good condition. Classic Alice themed pattern with the famous White Rabbit.
These have been very lighty worn, and are in great shape. Cute tea cup and tea pot pattern with gold details.
These are very lightly worn, still in great shape. The socks feature hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs, along with the AP logo and a nice argyle pattern in gold thread.
These have been lightly worn. The patter on the socks forms circles or diamonds depending on you look at the print! Pretty nifty and easy to match pattern!
This is brand new and unused. Pretty headdress from Baby the Stars Shine Bright from the Easter Bunny's Garden original print series. Lovely lace and ribbon details, easy to match to a variety of floral prints.
This item has been worn several times, but is in great condition. Comes with the original donut brooch! This dress was (and still is!) one of my favorites. The fabric is nice and thick, one that I haven't seen AP use in any other original print release. The little pom poms on the hem are a super cute touch, too. The shirring makes it a very easy/comfortable fit.
This item has been used about 2 times, and is in excellent shape still. A nice sturdy tote featuring Angelic Pretty's Sugary Carnival original print in the black colorway. This tote is good for both in and out of lolita, a good way to sneak some of your love for lolita fashion into everyday outfits when you can't wear your favorite fashion head to toe. Tote is fully lined with one pocket inside. It is about 36 cm wide × 33cm tall x 11cm deep.
These are brand new and unworn. Cute white bunny ear muffs from popular Japanese causual brand WEGO!
This is brand new and never used, with tag attached. Lots of cute details in this zipper pouch!
This wig is brand new and unused, never removed from its package. The wig is added on to your own hair so you can instantly have a long, full, curly pony tail that can be styled to your liking. Picture three of the model is one example how the wig can be styled (you will not get this color wig). The color of the wig you will receive is squared in red in the fourth photo.
This headbow was worn only once so is still in great condition. With cute little golden rose and delicate feathers, this headbow certainly has an angelic feel, and will make a very lovely addition to your outfit!
This item has been worn several times but is in good used condition. The lace may be slightly yellowed, but it always had an antique kind of look. This headbow was part of H. Naoto's GRAMM line, and it would look really good with mori girl and otome styles as well.

Week One Standings
The defending champion Redlegs start 2017 atop the AFC standings once again, while the NFC champion Dirty Hippies failed to break triple-digits in their 2017 debut. The PFC champion Dirty Dogs, however, managed to start their title defense with a victory.
The injuries of David Johnson and Allen Robinson have reverberated across the league. Their owners already face adversity in the young season.
2016 Semifinals Preview
Only 12 teams remain in contention in the OIL playoffs after Nye, Roe, Cliburn, Jessen, Baldwin, and Cordes were knocked out in round one. Half of the semifinals field had a bye last week, so this is their first test since Rivalry Week. Good luck, guys. As always, game-by-game analysis after the jump.
PFC: Tadlock's Week 11 Preview
By Team Tadlock Manager Derrick Tadlock
After last week's action in the PFC, the Great Plains Drifters remain in first place despite a week 10 loss. The Boomtown Brawlers move up to number two in the standings dropping Team Tadlock and the SECFOR Sixers to third and fourth, respectively.
PFC: Tadlock's Week Eight Preview
By Team Tadlock Manager Derrick Tadlock
There was more shuffling atop the rankings of the PFC after week 7 action. Team Tadlock moved back in to first place while the Great Plains Drifters dropped to third. The SECFOR Sixers moved to second after their victory. Injuries and byes could have an impact on some of the outcomes this week.

If you're using the media player that came with your operating system, you could do better. There are two alternatives in particular that would be a step up.
What is a media player?
A media player is a program that can read video files and play them on your screen. Popular video file formats include .avi, .mkv, and .flv. You have to have some kind of media player in order to watch movies or other offline video. Videos that are streamed online, such as Youtube videos or Netflix, do not generally require a media player.
Why can't I keep my default media player?
You can. However, your default media player (Windows Media Player for Windows, QuickTime X for OSX) isn't able to read all the video formats that other players can. Also, other media players generally have much improved performance.
What media player do I install?
The two I highly recommend are Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) and VLC Media Player (VLC). I personally use MPC-HC, but their is really nothing wrong with VLC, especially for the average user. MPC-HC generally supports more video formats than VLC, but does so with codec packs and not by default. Which player you use is more a matter of personal preference.
Unless, of course, you're using OSX. Then, you need to install VLC, because MPC-HC is Windows-only.
How do I install MPC-HC?
There are two ways to install MPC-HC. The first is to download and run the installer straight from the official MPC-HC website. This is the bare installation, which is best for people that want to tweak performance settings as they like.
The second way to install this media player is by installing a codec package that contains MPC-HC. Two popular packs are the K-Lite Codec Pack and the Combined Community Codec Pack. These allow you to watch videos in many more formats than the standard MPC-HC, and they also alter the settings for better quality performance.
No matter which installation you choose, simply click the "download" button on the website, and run the installer. After the program installs, you're done! You don't need to open MPC-HC when you want to play a video. Just double-click on the file and MPC-HC will automatically open it for you.
How do I install VLC?
To install VLC, you have to download the installer from the official VLC website by clicking the "Download" button. Run the installer and wait for it to finish. Once it completes the installation, you're done! As with MPC-HC, you don't have to manually open VLC to play a video file. It will open automatically when you try to open a video file by double-clicking it.
Congratulations! You now have a faster, more efficient, and generally better media player. Every once in a while, you'll want to check for updates from your choice in player.
Tip of the week: Never install two programs to do the same thing.

Driving for Team France, CRM driver Loic Duval entered Round 7 of this season's A1GP championship, held at Eastern Creek, Australia over the February 2-4 weekend. The circuit, located on the outskirts of the country's biggest centre of commerce, Sydney, featured a 3.93-klilometre track sporting 12 corners. The circuit is historically significant as it played host to the motorcycling Australian GP in the past.
Official Qualifying, held on the Saturday, comprised a total of four sessions. From those, the two fastest laps are calculated, determining the Grid for Sunday's first event, the Sprint Race. Loic attacked convincingly, netting 2nd-quickest time overall.
However, the times of the lead group comprised a fierce battle, and were so close throughout that Duval's combined tally of 2:36.711 wound him up in fourth place. With the top position recorded by Team Germany at 2:36.225, the narrow margin was clearly evident as less than half a second (0.486) filled the first two rows.
Sunday morning was the scene of the 14-lap Sprint Race. Loic remained in his grid position of 4th for the majority of the race (11 laps). Then on lap 12, he rose to third, a position he would keep to the flag. Team Germany's Nico Hulkenberg took the win, with New Zealand's Jonny Reid second. Expectations were high for the Feature.
Unfortunately, a delay at the start of the long race (46 laps) meant Loic went into the first corner in fifth place. By lap nine he was up to third, but after the mandatory pit stop, returned in 14th. From here a massive push saw the French flyer rise to 9th – a position in which he would cross the finish line. The result means that Team France fall behind Team New Zealand to third, though it is by the slimmest of margins – a mere 5 points.
Loic Duval:
"The start of the long race was tough as a little too much acceleration meant I slid. That cost me two positions. I wasn't worried though as I knew those two eventually went off. It was the pit stop that caused the most delay. After that, I had to fight and claw my back up to 9th. That took an unbelievable effort. To say I'm disappointed isn't the half of it!"
A1 Team France Director Eric Boullier:
"Loic drove a superb race in the Sprint. He succeeded in passing the Team Great Britain car of Robbie Kerr by using the Safety Car to take third place. After getting off to a slow start in the Feature, he ran fifth for a long while. There was confusion in the race, brought on by the Safety Car, though the unpredictable trouble in the pits cost us seven positions. Regretfully we've dropped to third in the championship standings as a result, behind Germany and New Zealand.

- Get ready for a night of aesthetic perfect, poplar popular culture fun and utopian idealism; yesterday's tomorrow's world today.
- Bring along lovers of the beauty of reality
- Surf to A J Holmes Robin Hood Garden (official website)
- See you at The Festival Inn
Run Riot favourite musician, A J Holmes launches his latest EP - live gig! This is Holmes's homage to Robin Hood Gardens, the people that live/lived there and the architects Alison and Peter Smithson.
Holmes (Vanishing Breed, A.J. Holmes & The Hackney Empire, They Came From The Stars I Saw Them) has recorded a specifically composed collection of songs at Robin Hood Gardens, a residential housing estate in Poplar, London designed in the late 1960s by architects Alison and Peter Smithson, completed in 1972 and at the time of this recording, scheduled for demolition. The songs were recorded in various spaces around the site and no post-production, processing or effects were used.
With the current housing crisis in London as a backdrop; the aim was to capture the sound of an environment that would soon no longer be there, capturing an echo - literally - of an era of post-war social democracy and public housing boom (seen then as a solution to the housing shortage).
We asked AJ a few questions on the project.
Run Riot: Why Robin Hood Gardens?
AJ: This was the only public housing project realised by the internationally influential and respected architects Alison and Peter Smithson. It is perhaps the archetypal public housing project built in the architectural style of Brutalism. In the 1950s Alison and Peter Smithson adopted the phrase 'New Brutalism' - taken from the French term béton brut (raw concrete) - to describe their controversial style of modernist architecture; this was later shortened to 'Brutalism'. In Britain this style became particularly associated with council housings as many projects completed in the 1960s and 70s were commissioned by local authorities.
Robin Hood Gardens however is not only of architectural and social significance, it is also of acoustic interest as from its inception the Smithsons were concerned with sound when designing the site. They designed sound reflecting walls around the site as a way of minimising the traffic 'noise' as it is set between two major roads and the Blackwall Tunnel. One would suspect that the Smithsons also paid particular attention to the acoustic qualities inside the buildings, designing high ceilings of glass and concrete into the communal entrances and walkways, creating cathedral like reverbs in the spaces. However this has been largely overlooked in most critiques of the site.
Run Riot: Why the interest in post-war social housing?
AJ: They reflect a time of ambition by the state to achieve greater social equality: the establishing of the welfare state; a concerted effort to progress British society towards 'Utopia'. A model of social democracy that seemingly notable political figures (such as Aneurin Bevan, who spearheaded the establishment of the National Health Service) believed achievable in the years following the second world war.
As we move further away from the 'post-war era' and arguably, further away from aspirations of social equality - executed by the state at least - these Modernist / Brutalist monuments to a post-war 'utopian ideal' are symbolically disappearing from our landscapes. Many have been, or are now scheduled to be demolished. It is - literally in some cases - the last time we will be able to capture an 'echo' of this vanishing era.
Holmes has also made a number of field recordings of the site so it can be archived for posterity.
He strongly feels that it is of utmost importance to capture what this environment sounds/sounded like before it is lost forever. This site has been considered and critiqued extensively (and rightly so) however until now - as far as Holmes is aware - there has not been a comprehensive collection of audio records / field recordings / soundscapes made.

When do you sell a winning trade?
Think about this for a moment. Your answer could say a lot about your odds of success.
People often tell me you never go broke taking a profit. These people like the certainty of a quick gain. They say it's better to sell early than risk a lower price tomorrow.
But what if prices eventually go a lot higher?
I've seen many traders come and go over the years. One of the biggest reasons they fail is a poor exit strategy. Their mistake often comes down to cutting profitable trades too early.
This week I'm going to give you an insight into how I trade. You'll see a stock from my own portfolio. It will help you understand why I believe running your winners is so important.
But first, have a read of this email…
'Having traded with Quant since earlier this year I am still a bit vague about profit taking. From reading all your articles, it seems to me you only sell when your stock hits its exit stop (having let a winner run).
'Please confirm that I am correct because I sometimes look at a trade that is up a reasonable amount and ask myself if I should be taking the profit.
'A good example is the recent exit from Altium [ASX:ALU]. I entered at $7.48 and the stock rose to a high of $9.97 in early September. The shares then slid back to their exit stop and I missed the opportunity.
'I know your answer will be stick to the system. But I just want to understand that I am doing this the right way.'
Member, Nigel
Nigel describes a classic situation. Should you cash in an early gain or let it run?
Let's have a look at the stock in question…
This is the price chart for Altium [ASX:ALU]. You can see Nigel's entry and exit points. The trade got off to a good start, but then fell back. Nigel gave back most of his early profit.
Did he miss an opportunity?
I don't think so.
You see, Quant Trader isn't targeting a quick profit. The strategy is to stay with the trend until the trailing stop is hit. That's how the system maximises profits.
No, ALU's trend didn't get too far. That's the nature of the game. Some trades will fall short of their potential. But the rewards from those that do run can be great.
This is what I do
OK, let's move on to my trade.
Have a look at this chart…

There's a good chance you'll know this stock. It's online travel provider Webjet [ASX:WEB]. The stock was also a successful Quant Trader signal.
WEB came to my attention when my system gave a buy signal. The shares were at a two-year high, and up almost 100% in 15 months. I bought a stake at $4.45 on 1 October 2015.
Many people don't like buying after a strong move. They reason that a stock must be nearing the end of its run. Their overriding concern is to avoid buying at the top.
But this is often a mistake.
You see, strength is positive. It's a good indicator that a trend will continue…and some trends continue for a very long time.
Here's the next chart…

Buying into strength was a good call. WEB quickly ran higher. My shares were up 31% in under 10 weeks — it was a terrific start to the trade.
Now, this is where many traders struggle. They know they should hold. But the lure of a quick profit is often irresistible. They also fear an approaching correction will rob them of their gains.
Think how you'd handle this trade. Would you cash in your chips, or let it ride?
I'll tell you what I did: I let the stock run.
Letting a trade run involves taking a risk. It means accepting the possibility that an early gain vanishes — as was the case with ALU. The 100%-plus winners are the reward for that risk.
This is what happened next…

WEB fell 23% over the next two months — most of my paper profit went up in smoke. Nigel had much the same experience with ALU.
So, was missing the chance to take profit a mistake?
Not at all. Holding was the right decision for this type of strategy — even if the trade was a washout. You can't stay on a medium-term trend unless you let your winners run.
My stop-loss on WEB was at $4.41 (just below my entry point at $4.45). I was ready to give back a respectable gain for the chance of a much bigger one.
You see, much of my trading profit comes from stocks that run a long way. Banking an early profit caps this potential. That's why I let my winning trades run.
Staying the course
It turns out the fall in WEB was just a correction.
Here's the final chart in the series…

The early selloff was just a blip in a bigger upward move. There were other corrections along the way. But I was able to stay with the trend until just recently.
This profit would not have been possible if I'd cashed in early.
Holding is easy in hindsight. The corrections seem to get lost in the bigger advance. But real-time is different. You simply don't know if you're holding an ALU or a WEB.
I find it helps not to watch each stock too closely. Riding every movement can be emotionally draining. It can pay to take a step back from the coalface. Not having WEB at top-of-mind made it easier. I was able to sit through the corrections without worrying. My trailing stop was in place. I just let the market do its thing.
WEB hit a record high of $12.20 in October. The shares then fell sharply in early November. This was the trigger for my exit stop at $9.15.
No, I didn't get out at the high — and that's OK. My aim is to get the big middle part of a trend. I almost always give back some profit at the end. That's the cost of using a trailing stop.
WEB rose by 106% from my original entry. There were also dividends along the way. My willingness to give back an early profit was the key. I couldn't have got this far if I sold for a 20–30% gain.
No one knows how high a stock will rise. Some trends do little, while others do a lot. But I do know this: Letting your profits run increases the odds of banking a triple-digit winner.
Until next week,
Jason McIntosh,
For Markets and Money
Editor's note: Having an exit strategy is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Yet, despite its importance, selling is an afterthought for many traders. This can be a costly mistake.
Quant Trader uses a trailing stop to manage selling. The trailing stop is an exit level that follows a share price higher. It won't get you out at the top — that's not how it works. The aim is to capture the big, middle part of a trend. This is how the system captures gains like 353% in Blackmores [ASX:BKL], 199% in Vita Group [ASX:VTG], and 147% in HUB24 [ASX:HUB].
So, if you're not sure when to sell…I strongly suggest you look into Quant Trader now.
Try it. See if it makes sense to you. It could change the way you trade forever.

Follow the Money
By Greg Canavan | 16 December, 2016
Don't let your biases control your thinking. Look objectively to what the market is saying. The great Richard Russell (rest in peace) had a 60-year career writing about financial markets. One of his most common phrases was 'follow the money'. It's the best advice you can get. Money isn't biased. It's amoral. It goes where returns are the highest. Don't ignore that advice. Following the money tells you that global markets are bullish as we head into 2017.
A Bull Market Remix
By Greg Canavan | 15 December, 2016
If you're looking for a repeat panic in early 2017, you're likely to be disappointed. Markets don't work like that. The same record never plays twice. It's always a remix. A different version of the same song…
In other words, this rally could surprise nearly everyone and keep on going.
A Bubble in Search of a Pin
By Vern Gowdie | 14 December, 2016
Call it whatever you like, but something tells me that before 2020 (possibly as soon as next year), this bubble we're living in — unaffordable entitlement promises; asset prices that bear no reality to underlying income; governments being paid (via negative rates) to issue bonds; corporate and public sector pension plans that are woefully underfunded; and deficit spending as far as the eye can see — is about to meet a pin.
When Will It Stop?
By Greg Canavan | 13 December, 2016
China is trying to liberalise its capital account by allowing the free flow of capital but, in doing so, it's losing control of its currency. So it has to sell foreign exchange reserves to defend the currency. But there is no action without a reaction. Falling foreign exchange reserves represent a tightening of liquidity. So the more these reserves fall, the more difficult it will be for China to create the credit needed to meet its growth targets! Confused? Don't be. Just follow the money.
If China's Economy Is So Strong, Why Is Capital Fleeing?
By Greg Canavan | 12 December, 2016
One consequence of China's rebound is that it has been accompanied by increasing capital flight. That is, more and more capital is trying to get out of the country, and officials are losing the battle in trying to control these capital flows. This puts pressure on the yuan, which is now at its lowest point against the US dollar in eight years. The Financial Times reports that the yuan is on track for its worst fall on record this year.

Hero Factory (formerly), Shadow Titans
Shielded Shooter Claws, Lava Blaster, Drainer Claw, Breather Shield (All formerly) Antroz Sword, Skraluparu Shield
Unknown, Quatros (mostly)
Luis Blazer was a former member of the Xiphos team and now a Shadow Titan Overlord who can control quatros beasts.
BackgroundBlazer was originally an ordinary mining bot. When he was upgraded to absorb fuel, he went corrupt and escaped with the Fire Villains. Unlike his teammates, he could absorb the fuel with his body not changing a bit, when they were all captured, he was given an offer: he could become a hero, but he would have too give up his fuel absorbing ability. Elliot Blazer was in a celebration of a mission, and he wanted a brother for his gift. Using the .X System ,he was upgraded with the strentgh of a Raw-Jaw and the agility of a Fangz. When the team went to quatros, he was asked to use his abilities to study the creatures in quatros, and he only goes back to Makuhero City if there is an extreme emergency. When he was invited to Makuhero city to conmemorate Surge's upgrade, he was trapped inside the planet until he could get a ride to Quatros in the savage planet mission. When he continued doing his job, he found Witch Doctor, he used a curse to posess. Along with a Fangz's spirit, he turned into an upgraded version of a Fangz. However, this only lasted for a minute, which gave him his perfect form. when he got back to the factory, he soon discovered that he was actually in matoran form, so the factory deserted him because he was useless. Later he discovered he had regained his energy absorbing ability, and was able to recover his perfect form.
Luis went back to Quatros, and found Merrick Fortis. As soon he discovered that fortis had the energy supply he needed, he took advantage of when he fainted, saying he was a doctor. He took out a wire to absorb his core, but then found two spikes and put them in his shoulder pads, giving him a super perfect form, and gained an drainer claw. when he went back to makuhero city to wreak havoc on te factory, he was caught. When the mass breakout ocurred, he went directly to aid the shadow titans, becoming an overlord. But he wanted a power level similar to that of his superiors Aktan and Povak, and he discovered something: the 2.0 and 3.0 name plaques contain the DNA of the hero with the respective upgrade, so he absorbed Rocka XL's plaques and gained a new knight-like body.
He is very protective for his friends, for what he would do anything to help them from danger. However, since he was equipped with three 3.0 cores, he is usually extremely overconfident. After his betrayal, he would kill any ally of the factory he saw with his weapons combined with both his old and newly obtained knowledge as an assasian.
Abilities and Traits
He posseses many skills due to his clear survival in quatros, which is very helpful at capturing villains. When he became a shadow titan, he possessed master assassin knowledge and could transform to any of his forms (base, matoran, hero, possesed, perfect, super perfect).
Much like his brother Elliot, he can absorb almost any type of energy, but it is absorbed by his two chests and spikes amd the excess comes out of his shielded lava shooter as his long-range weapon, and he also counts on his double shield claws to use his super-strentgh. He also created in quatros the spiked shoulder pads and the breather shield in order to survive. After he was thrown out,he gained a Tank Arm and a Lava Blaster. he also posseses a gun that has a type of plasma that can control beasts. As off his super perfect form 2, he gained new shoulder pads, the spiked jetpacks, the quaza sword and the skraluparu shield, besides, he upgraded himself in such a way that now every spiky point in him is an absorption area
Hero Factory warning
DANGER, DANGER!! All heroes gather, we've got a new enemy, Luis Blazer! Don't get too confident around this shadow titan overlord, he has master knowledge of the factory, since he is a rogue hero, but he also is an elite assassin. Be careful around him, as touching one of his 12 spiky points will get your energy drained!

The cafe is almost ready, the skate park is nearly complete and a maginificent dragon is in the playground at Peacehaven's Big Park.
Workers are pulling out all the stops to ensure the project is finished in time for the grand opening on Saturday March 7 from 11am to 4pm.
The playground will also boast some handcrafted oak gateways that were commissioned and carved for the park by local artist Keith Pettit.
Playsafe Playgrounds said: "We're pulling out all the stops as the completion date and opening day looms on the horizon.
"The Peekaboo Wall, complete with the stainless steel port holes, is now installed.
"We have also installed the embankment slide and made a start installing the cross members for the balance frame in the Adventure Area.
"The phenomenal dragon's head is now positioned pride of place in the Toddler Area.
"There's still plenty to do onsite, so next week we'll be laying turf, continuing the completion of the play equipment, laying safety surfacing and preparing for the landscaping works."
The grand opening will include a skate jam, puppet shows, cafe opening and interactive archeology.
The gateways for the park were inspired by Bronze Age rock art and will capture the changing light and weather of the downs.
A number of Bronze Age artefacts were found on the site of the Big Park, now called Centenary Park.
A tree planting event will be held at the park on Saturday February 21 from 10am to 2pm to start work on the Community Orchard.
