Alaska's Inside Passage & San Juan Cruise
The highlights of this small ship cruise with UnCruise Adventures include: • Cruise Alaska's and Canada's Inside Passages • Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Glacier Bay National Park and Olympic National Park • Adventure activity Tongass National Forest and Misty Fjords National Monument • Native culture and Gold Rush history • Tlingit culture in Ketchikan and Haines • Watch for whales and wildlife in Frederick Sound • Wilderness kayaking, paddle boarding, skiffing, and hiking • Hiking, biking, and rafting in Haines, Alaska • Educational presentations by onboard expedition team
Like the intrepid explorers before you, cruise Canada's and Alaska's Inside Passages for twelve nights on a small ship cruise with UnCruise Adventures. Glacial fjords, winding passages, rainforest, totems, wildlife, adventure""it's all there.
Day 1: Seattle, Washington - Embarkation Ah, the Emerald City! Check-in at the hospitality center and later, board your ship and settle in. Depending on your vessel, depart from downtown Seattle, cruising along the along the city's picturesque waterfront. Or from Fisherman's Terminal and transit historic Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, where it's a 20 foot drop into the Salish Sea. Adieu, Seattle.
Day 2: Olympic National Park Wake up in Hood Canal, one of the quietest reaches of Puget Sound. About 65 miles long, this fjord separates the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas. Your expedition team has big plans for the day. Daypacks packed, boots on your feet. Hit the trail for a hike into the Olympic Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Giant old-growth trees, ferns, wild rhododendron""the flora is dense and diverse. Tonight holds a special treat. It's a tasting of local oysters and clams. Paired with a locally-brewed beer""delicious!
Day 3: San Juan Islands, Washington Each island in the San Juan archipelago has unique character. Orcas and harbor seals haven't picked favorites. You could spot them in any passage. Give your arms a stretch. Kayak or paddle board along a tucked away cove. Sea stars dot rocky outcroppings orange and purple. Curious harbor seals watch your moves. Get in more mileage on a skiff ride to further inlets. There will be time to hike too. A high point gives views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. Look low and nose around pools for creatures left behind by the outgoing tide.
Day 4: Salish Sea > Canada's Inside Passage Mountains rise higher. Fjords get deeper. It's a day of intricate waterways and cruising for critters. The Strait of Georgia narrows into Seymour Narrows. Civilization slips away as you enter Johnstone Strait, where you may spot a pod of orcas. Surf-happy dolphins and porpoise like to catch a ride on the bow wave. Your captain and crew are on the lookout and give the call of a sighting. Islands of green. The Coast Range. Small communities dotting the beaches and fjords. Aiming to entertain and educate over the next days, your expedition team is at the ready. Natural history, Native influences, and their favorite trivia games, too.
Day 5: Canada's Inside Passage Take your cup of joe to the bow. The world wakes up with you. Bald eagles watch the ship along its course from tree tops. Islands to the west, inlet-etched mainland etched to the east. Fitz Hugh Sound was first explored by Europeans in the 1720s. Today, it's favored by sail boats. Your captain and mates navigate the twisting passage. Harbor seals spend their days on rocky islets. Breathe in the fresh air and take in the views. In the lounge, your bartender mixes up the daily special. Take the challenge and play a few friendly hands of cards with your shipmates.
Day 6: Canada's Inside Passage Start the morning with guided stretches on the sun deck. Red roofs of Boat Bluff Lighthouse greet you as you pass into Tolmie Channel. The Great Bear Rainforest, known for the white "spirit" bear, stretches all around you. Princess Royal Island marks the southern border of the bear's territory. Spunky sea otters off the starboard. And a waterfall and old abandoned cannery come into view. That's Butedale. Once a fishing hub, now a ghost town. Pass Dixon Entrance and postcard-perfect Dundas Island Lighthouse. Leave behind British Columbia waters and continue on""to Alaska.
Day 7: Ketchikan, Alaska Take a town day in Alaska's southernmost city, the "salmon capital of the world." Ketchikan's claim-to-fame--the world's largest collection of standing totem poles. Connect with the Tlingit Culture. Tribal leader and local legend Joe Williams, known as Ka Xesh X'e in his native language, guides you on a walking tour. With a rich oral tradition, the Tlingit passed stories from generation to generation""and Joe's storytelling is captivating!
Day 8: Misty Fjords National Monument > Behm Canal It does get misty here. In fact, down right mystical. Calm settles over these parts and all you can hear is nature. Deep glacial fjords filled with seawater. Wetlands, estuaries, dense forests, and sweeping granite cliffs. Misty Fjords is the largest Wilderness Area in the Tongass National Forest. Behm Canal separates the western edge of the monument from the mainland. It's a haven for wildlife""grizzly and black bears, salmon, whales, mountain goats, and deer. Paddle through a bay, silty from the outwash of a mountain river. On shore, your guide points out intertidal curios along the beach. The gaze of watchful eagles keeps you on point.
Day 9: Ernest Sound Between Cleveland Peninsula and Etolin Island sits Ernest Sound""first charted in 1793. In some of its least-explored reaches, drop anchor. Your expedition team has a full list of activities in queue. Boots, paddles, skiff? Pull on your rubber boots. They were made for the deep forest you're hiking into. Paddle around tiny islets that dot the edges of Deer Island. Or scoot further away with the speed of a skiff to serene pockets carved into the rugged coastline. This evening, relax on deck to the call of the wild.
Day 10: Petersburg > Frederick Sound Sailing into Petersburg, the views of Devil's Thumb and snow-topped peaks are motivation enough to put one foot in front of the other. Hard-charge up Petersburg Mountain or choose a mellower hike along Petersburg Creek. Take time to stroll through town. Or visit the museum for a dose of Tlingit and Norwegian history before lunch back on board. Go slow in Frederick Sound. It's a favored summer home for humpback whales. Let the search begin. Take a jaunt by kayak or paddleboard before calling it a day for happy hour.
Day 11: Chatham Strait > Chichagof Island North into glacially-carved Chatham Strait. Captain picks the anchorage. Your top-notch expedition team plans the fun. And rain or shine, anything is possible. Paddling. Skiffing. Beachcombing. Bears like it too""Chichagof Island has one of the highest brown bear populations in the world.
Day 12: Glacier Bay National Park There's a cool factor, and it's not just coming off the face of the glaciers! This 3.3 million-acre park was covered by ice as recently as 1795. Since then, the park's receding glacier activity has made it a lot easier to access those inner reaches. Pick up a park ranger at Bartlett Cove in the early hours. Glacial history, retreats, advances, moraines. They come with expert insight, so bring on the questions. Pigeon guillemots, puffins, and cormorants colonize and nest at South Marble Island. One good whiff and a few loud barks give away one of its mammalian residents. It's a full day in the bay exploring Muir's legacy""all the way to Grand Pacific and Margerie Glaciers. Celebrate with a toast to Ma' Nature's handiwork.
Day 12: Endicott Arm > Fords Terror Snow covered mountains, glowing blues, and the white thunder of calving ice at Dawes Glacier complete your last day. Gliding through Endicott Arm, you'll likely spy harbor seals and their pups lounging on "bergy bits" in the water. And if the tides allow, explore Fords Terror-a narrow passageway with towering walls and cascading waterfalls. At the end of the day, join the Captain for a sumptuous Farewell Dinner and reminisce with a slideshow of your journey from the crew.
Day 13: Icy Strait Bull whip kelp threads through nearby channels like a jungle mangrove. And you know better, but orange and purple starfish and jellyfish make it hard to believe you're not in the tropics. Follow the currents out to where the sea lions flock to remote rock formations. Your captain is on the bridge, the expedition team on deck, and all eyes are on the water and the shore. Everyone is on-watch for the telltale blow of humpbacks. Dall's porpoise feast in the nutrient-rich water too. And bears lumber about for an afternoon nosh. Try getting a little closer to the shoreline by skiff, kayak, or on foot. Sometimes the smallest things are the biggest wonders. Take in the evening solitude from the bow, or the hot tub. Or both""why choose just one?
Day 14: Haines Haines is adventure-central""hiking, biking, and rafting. The trails are the cream of the crop, but all options lead to views of rivers, inlets, and snowcapped mountains. Haines has been occupied for thousands of years. The Chilkat Tlingit lived and traded here. European explorers arrived in the late 1880s. Of course, there's the Gold Rush. Turn the pages of history with a presentation on the past. And there's free time to explore on your own. Tonight, join your captain for the Farewell Dinner. As a special treat, your expedition team shares a slideshow of your journey.
Day 15: Juneau - Disembark Disembark after breakfast. Transfer to the Juneau airport or begin your UnCruise overnight stay or extended land tour.
Due to the nature of our explorations, itineraries are guidelines and will change in order to maximize wildlife and natural encounters. Variations in itinerary and the order of days may occur.
Adventure Cruising Expect days of play and relaxation""wildlife in its natural habitat; genuine exchanges with locals; wilderness hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, or snorkeling; exploration by expedition vessel or boutique yacht, and even by skiff. Rain or shine!
Your Vessels
Wilderness Explorer Daring and ambitious, and a wee bit salty. The Wilderness Explorer was destined for Alaska's deep waters from the first moment her boat builders in Boothbay Harbor, Maine slid her into the drink. A strong "sea boat" with feet, she is not bashful or apologetic in her, or her crew's, unflinching drive to seek out secret niches""with attitude. You know the kind, that "we are better than the rest" attitude. She's special like that.
S.S. Legacy A perfect mash-up of old and new""replica 1898 coastal gold rush steamer, Victorian-style décor, and modern machinery. The elegant and one-of-a-kind S.S. Legacy is a classic and the fastest in the fleet. Capable of 15 knots, she can sail to the farthest reaches gathering more stories of adventure along the way. It's no wonder that for many of the crew (and office folk), she's a first love that never fades.
Wilderness Discoverer Warm and inviting, efficient, and oh so cared for by her crew. The Wilderness Discoverer's agenda is to deliver big adventure. And she does it in top-of-the-class style. Sleek with a northwest feel, the ship was retrofitted specifically for wilderness exploration. Wild, remote, and at the edges of the map, she carries a bit of Alaska wherever she sails""the beautiful bar top and tap tower are made from a yellow cedar log found in Peril Strait.
Safari Endeavour Polished, unwavering, and upscale, the Safari Endeavour may be the workhorse of the fleet but it's her zest-for-life persona that's remembered most. She looks sharp""a nod to the crew who work hard to keep her that way. Wood fixtures and accents shine and artwork highlights the warm and cool waters where she sails. No other UnCruise ship covers more territory, and like her namesake, Captain Cook's Endeavour, both the ship and crew are true explorers.
Safari Explorer This high-end SUV of a ship is nimble, strong, and loving. The Safari Explorer has what mariners call "feet" that take her into wild areas most other ships aren't certified to visit. Her performance-built rugged construction means access to faraway regions. But it's what's on the inside that makes this yacht the prize of the fleet. And with only 36 guests on board, the feel is decidedly exclusive.
• Exclusive activities, shore excursions, presentation • Entry fees to national parks, preserves, and monuments • Narration and expertise from expedition guides • Meet & greet services, transfers, and baggage handling between airport & vessel on embark and disembark days • Onboard meals • Spirits, wine, and microbrews • Non-alcoholic beverages • Wellness amenities: hot tub, fitness equipment, yoga mats • Complimentary massage (Safari Explorer, Safari Endeavour and S.S.

43. More Mispronunciation Madness - Part III
Do you cringe when you hear certain words mispronounced? Has anyone ever corrected your own pronunciation of a word? While it's certainly true that some words are pronounced one way in one part of our country and another way in another part of our country, many of these regional speech differences are perfectly okay. Some, however, are just downright wrong and that's what we will be focusing on today.
So... let me start with one that makes me nearly have a duck fit, and this one is heard right here in Columbus County...CAROLINA.
I heard one of my college professors say once that the word CAROLINA is among the most beautiful sounds in the English language, and you can believe that I agree with him. Unfortunately, though, some of our natives pronounce it like this:
"I'm from North or South KA-LIN-A."
Woe am I!!! Agony! When such a beautiful word is pronounced this way, we're not showing the proper homage to our home state! CAROLINA has four syllables (sounds) and we need to pronounce every one of them:
You will do this from now on, won't you? Thank you very much.
Another frequently mispronounced word is TERMITE.
These dreaded little visitors to our homes are sometimes called...
"TEAR (rhymes with bear) mites"
Just remember that the "tear" part of the word rhymes with "sir" and you'll be in good company.
Here's another one that drives me a little crazy...however, this pronunciation is certainly not limited to North Carolina. Actually, we probably pronounce it correctly more than lot of other people, especially non-Southerners, but since we constantly hear it on TV and tend to gradually pick up speech we hear there, I had to mention this one...HALLOWEEN.
Have you noticed lots of folks on TV pronounce HALLOWEEN as HOLLOWEEN?
As a long-time lover of the fun of Halloween, I have to pounce on this one like a rabbit in a lettuce patch! All we have to do is just notice that there's an A following the H, not an O!! Come on, y'all. This one should be super simple to correct.
Now for our final pronunciation problem for today...AMERICA.
Most of you very likely do not have trouble with this word, but, again, since it is heard so many times incorrectly on TV, I'm going to ask that you be extra careful about not pronouncing it as...AMURICA. No doubt, we need to get this one right!
There's not U in AMERICA-- just an E following the M. How easy is that?
Well, time's flying and we'd better finish up. I hope you've learned something today and that you'll pronounce these words correctly! Please feel free to send me any other incorrect pronunciations you've heard (as well as other ideas for lessons) and I'll be glad to focus on them. Have a great week and carpe diem. Peace and happiness to all! GG

I really do enjoy reading your blog. I may not always comment, but that doesn't mean I do not appreciate the work you put in every week. I heard this poem on NPR today and thought you would enjoy it.
Windows is Shutting Down
by Clive James
Windows is shutting down, and grammar are
On their last leg. So what am we to do?
A letter of complaint go just so far,
Proving the only one in step are you.
Better, perhaps, to simply let it goes.
A sentence have to be screwed pretty bad
Before they gets to where you doesnt knows
The meaning what it must be meant to had.
The meteor have hit. Extinction spread,
But evolution do not stop for that.
A mutant languages rise from the dead
And all them rules is suddenly old hat.
Too bad for we, us what has had so long
The best seat from the only game in town.
But there it am, and whom can say its wrong?
Those are the break. Windows is shutting down.

The cuisine of Half Moon Bay Weyr is notable for two things: its elegance and its tropical flavors. The Weyr loves its food and, more importantly, it loves presenting that food in a way that's artful as well as delicious. Everything carries with it a taste of the exotic and is easily comparable to the foods from Tahiti or Hawai'i.
Tropical fruits, barbecued meats, and all manner of seafood form the powerful backbone of the Weyr's meals. Kebabs made with fruit and porcine or wherry are a particular favorite, often served alongside sweet rolls or fried strips of tuber. Grilled meats and fish are another common preparation, often served in a flatbread with various types of salsa.
Porcines or wherries are occasionally cooked in firepits underground for a feast that's especially spectacular. Such great feasts are held on the beach from time and are typically served with a splendid assortment of dishes and drinks.
Drinks made of coconut milk or fruit juice are a special treat - and iced drinks are a particular specialty, alcoholic or otherwise. And, speaking of alcohol, there is plenty of that to be had as well.
Light and fruity desserts - perfectly chilled and served with cream or fruit-based syrups - are standard fare; pastries and cakes are not quite as common as they might be in other places on Pern, but they can be found from time to time.

Speed Up Your Mozilla Firefox Browser
Posted by Sohail A Tuesday, June 17, 2008 Labels: Tips and Tricks
So here is a tut on how to speed up your Mozilla Firefox browser. (For DSL and Cables users only)
First of all your going to need Firefox browser. If you don't have it installed already then you can follow this link. CLICK ME
Open FireFox and on the address bar type "about:config" (without quotes) and hit enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:
(What are going to change is the way browsers makes requests. Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)
Alter the entries as follows: (by double clicking them)
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" (without quotes)
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" (without quotes)
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" (without quotes) to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
Now close and restart and see the new amazingly new speed of Firefox!
(I noticed significant difference in my speeds but the results may vary)
(If this somehow messes up your browser (Highly unlikely) then you can always change the setting back to the way they where.)
Please leave comments or email me if you want to share your result. If you have any questions or thoughts on this then let me know.v

It's Go Time
If the Indians are going to extend their remarkable season of being a contender while missing half their starting lineup, they are going to have to find a way to win two out of three, or even - and this is really talking crazy, considering the opponent's starting pitcher in the third game - sweep the Tigers in the three-game series that begins Monday at Progressive Field.
Could the Indians still win the division without winning two or three of the games in the Detroit series? Yes. But it would then take an almost historic collapse by the Tigers. Winning the first two games of the series is almost a must for the Indians, because Justin Verlander will start the third game of the series for the Tigers.
If the Indians lose this series, or if they get swept they would fall 7 1/2 or even 9 1/2 games behind Detroit (assuming the Tigers beat the White Sox Sunday night). That would be virtually an insurmountable lead.
That the Indians are even in the converstation for a division title with less than a month left in the season is in itself astonishing. The lineups the injury-riddled Indians have been running out there the last two weeks have been glorified Class AAA lineups. For most of those games the Indians had five players on the disabled list who would have been in the starting lineup if healthy.
Not only that, but those five players are were arguably (with the exception of Asdrubal Cabrera, who was not one of them) the Indians' five best players. Take five players, period, out of the starting lineup of the Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, or Rangers - much less take out their five best players, and those teams would have to be in full scramble mode to remain in contention, as have the Indians.
It's for that reason that I think the only question in the voting for the American League Manager of the Year Award is not whether or not Manny Acta will win it, but whether it will be unanimous.

When it comes to estate and trust administration and probate, a commonly
used term that you will hear is "fiduciary duty." What does
fiduciary duty mean and what does it have to do with estates? A fiduciary
duty is the legal duty to act solely for another party's best interests.
People who owe such duties are known as fiduciaries.
Individuals to whom this duty is owed are called principals or beneficiaries.
Fiduciaries cannot profit from their relationship with their principals
unless they have received the express consent from the principal. Fiduciaries
are expected to avoid any conflicts of interest between themselves and
their principals. In the U.S. legal system, a fiduciary is held to the
strictest duty of care and a breach of fiduciary duty is an actionable offense.
Examples of fiduciary relationships include agents under a power of attorney,
trustee of a trust, accountants and their clients, investment brokers
and their clients, guardians and wards, and attorneys and their clients.
In the context of estate administration, fiduciary relationships include
executors or administrators and beneficiaries, as well as trustees and
beneficiaries. In estate or
trust administration, the fiduciary is the individual who is legally appointed and authorized
to manage the estate's or trust's assets for the benefit of the
beneficiaries. The executor, administrator or trustee manages the assets
for the benefits of another person rather than his or her own benefit.
Fiduciary duties require that executors and trustees act solely in the
best interests of the beneficiaries named in the will or trust, free of
any self dealing, conflicts of interests, or another form of abuse for
personal advantage. A claimant does not need to prove criminal. The claimant
must show that the defendant occupied a position of trust or a fiduciary
relationship and that defendant breached that duty and benefitted personally.
A beneficiary may bring an action against an executor or a trustee who
caused harm to the estate or trust assets.Following are some examples
of how an executor, administrator or trustee can breach their fiduciary duty:
Whether you are a beneficiary who believes an executor or trustee has breached
their fiduciary duty or if you need to defend an estate against such claims,
you should immediately discuss the matter with an experienced Fairfax
estate litigation attorney. At
Hale Ball Carlson Baumgartner Murphy, PLC we have nearly 50 years of combined experience handling estates and
litigation matters. No matter what issue you are facing, we can explain your rights
and responsibilities under the law and we can inform you of what legal
remedies are available at your disposal.

From Harding University
Harding men's tennis fell 5-4 to Arkansas-Ft. Smith on Tuesday at the Harding Tennis Courts. It was the first match of the fall season for the Bisons.
"We played hard today," Harding head coach David Elliott said. "Arkansas-Ft. Smith just had more depth than we did."
Harding (0-1) earned only one point in doubles, with Kittibodee Singnil and Jon Mark Rowden teaming at No. 1 doubles for an 8-4 victory. Singnil and Rowden improved to 11-4 in their careers as a doubles team.
Singnil and Rowden also won their singles matches. Singnil, a sophomore, is now 14-1 in his singles career at Harding, and Rowden, also a sophomore, is 16-1. Senior Helio Hashimoto won his match at No. 5 singles for his 34th career singles victory, the most by a current Harding player.
Harding will play its second match of the fall Wednesday, Oct. 3 against the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark.

There aren't many Happy Days moments in life anymore, but every Saturday night in Manassas the friendly folks of Bull Run Street Rods cruise in to the parking lot of the Burger King out by the airport. Over in the corner of the lot is a little drive-in ice cream shop that sort of looks like it belongs in nineteen-fifty-something. They do a brisk business between the folks coming to show off their wheels and the folks (like me) who show up just to look. You can almost convince yourself that you're back in a simpler time, even if it's just for a bit.

Scandal in Waiting
The Chicago Police Department has begun reviewing whether officers have been properly executing search warrants.
In the first wave of audits, 39 search warrants were checked to see if they were filled out according to department rules.
In auditing the first of the search warrants that will be checked, inspectors focused on 39 warrants obtained in July by the city's gang and gun teams.
Twenty-five led to arrests and 33 resulted in seized property.
We'd like to know if the Supreme Court strikes down various municipal gun laws as unconstitutional, would the owners of these now legal handguns be entitled to restitution and replacement of hundreds, if not thousands of guns, confiscated under the old system? It'd be more than a little ironic if Chicago and Mayor Daley ended up buying thousands of guns for people wronged under unconstitutional seizures, illegal search warrants and improper procedural errors.

More about stocks - stock bonuses and rights issues
Oran Hall, Personal Financial Advisor
Last week, we looked at dividends, one way that companies distribute profits to their shareholders. This is a payout of cash, but companies may make a distribution to shareholders without paying cash. In this case, they make the distribution in the form of additional stock, or shares.
The rules applying to who receives a cash dividend basically apply when determining who qualifies for a bonus of shares, that is, the shareholders who qualify are those who are on the shareholder register at the record date, but the stock trades without bonus, or X bonus, four business days prior to the record date.
Profitable companies, particularly those with a strong shareholder's equity comprising retained earnings and capital reserves - in addition to the share capital - are best able to pay stock bonuses. Shareholders are allocated new shares proportionate to the shares they own as shown on the register of shareholders at the record date.
By way of illustration, if the bonus is one for four, it means that a shareholder gets one new share for every four shares owned, thus increasing the amount of shares owned from four to five.
In a nominal sense, the bonus issue affects the market price. If, for the sake of discussion, the price of the stock before the bonus was $10, meaning that four shares would be worth $40, after the bonus, the price of each share or unit of stock would be $8. Thus, the market value of the investor's holding of stock would remain at $40.
Balance sheet juggling
This does not make the shareholder any richer. Neither does it change the financial position of the company. It only causes a juggling of the balance sheet. The issued and fully paid share capital of the company increases while another element of the balance sheet, retained earnings, for example, reduces correspondingly.
In many instances, news of the issuing of bonus shares, which involves no payment of money by the shareholder, causes the demand for the stock to increase thus leading to an increase in its market price ahead of the payment of the bonus, so the new owner gets the bonus shares, but the former owner does not necessarily lose from not getting the new shares due to the price adjustment by the market before the bonus.
One advantage to the market is that the increase in the supply of shares on the market makes the stock more liquid; thus, it is easier to buy and to sell it. But if investors flood the market with the new shares, this action may lead to a decline in the price of the stock.
Another advantage is that if the company maintains the dividends paid on each unit of stock, shareholders benefit in the sense that they earn cash dividends on a larger amount of stock.
Rights issues do not constitute a distribution. In fact, they require rights holders to pay to get additional shares so the company really uses this means to raise money and increase its capital. An issue of rights to the existing shareholders of a company entitles them to buy additional shares directly from the company in proportion to their existing holdings, within a fixed time period.
The subscription price of the new shares is usually at a discount to the current market price and the shareholder may choose to sell them on the open market. Although each share entitles a shareholder to one right, the company determines how many rights are required to buy one new share at the subscription price.
Rights expiring
Because rights have an expiry date, it is prudent for shareholders who opt not to exercise their rights to sell them on the market. Shareholders who exercise their rights do not experience a dilution in their share of the equity of the company. So if they owned two per cent of the company before the rights issue and exercised their rights, they would still own two per cent of the company thereafter.
This is also true of shareholders who benefit from bonus shares. The primary difference is that shareholders who are entitled to a bonus cannot renounce their bonus.
These are two of the ways in which investors can increase their holdings of shares without going to the market, and they can help in growing investor wealth especially over the long-term.

Maternal-fetal medicine - Related Links
Maternal-fetal medicine
Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) is the branch of obstetrics that focuses on the medical and surgical management of high-risk pregnancies. Management includes monitoring and treatment including comprehensive ultrasound, chorionic villus sampling, genetic amniocentesis, and fetal surgery or treatment. Obstetricians who practice maternal-fetal medicine are also known as perinatologists. This is a subspecialty to obstetrics and gynecology mainly used for patients with high-risk pregnancies.[1] Obstetric medicine is a closely related specialty that emphasizes the care of medical problems in pregnancy.
Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are obstetrician-gynecologists who undergo an additional 2–3 years of specialized training in the assessment and management of high-risk pregnancies. As a result, they are able to take care of pregnant women who have special medical problems (e.g. heart or kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, and thrombophilia), pregnant women who are at risk for pregnancy-related complications (e.g. preterm labor, pre-eclampsia, and twin or triplet pregnancies), and pregnant women with fetuses at risk. Fetuses may be at risk because of chromosomal or congenital abnormalities, maternal disease, infections, genetic diseases, and growth restriction.[2]
Maternal-fetal medicine specialists have training in obstetric ultrasound, invasive prenatal diagnosis using amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling, and the management of high-risk pregnancies. Some of them are further trained in the field of fetal diagnosis and prenatal therapy where they become competent in advanced procedures such as targeted fetal assessment using ultrasound and Doppler, fetal blood sampling and transfusion, fetoscopy, and open fetal surgery.[3][4]
The field of maternal-fetal medicine is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medicine especially in what concerns the fetus. Research is being carried on in the field of fetal gene and stem cell therapy in hope to provide early treatment for genetic disorders,[5] open fetal surgery for the correction of birth defects like congenital heart disease,[6] and the prevention of preeclampsia.
Many pregnancies have led to maternal mortality and maternal morbidity. This line of concern is most recommended to be situated with maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) subspecialists, in order to decrease the rate of maternal mortality and maternal morbidity.[7] The Society for Maternal-fetal Medicine (SMFM) strives to improve maternal and child outcomes by standards of prevention, diagnosis and treatment through research, education and training.[8] In order for MFM subspecialists to help reduce the rate of maternal death, they must receive adequate training and education. Research is essential for treatment. MFM subspecialist's area of focus is early diagnosis of fetal abnormalities, non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, intrauterine fetal surgery, complex multiple pregnancy issues and the pathogenesis and early diagnosis and treatment of pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction.[9]
The American Board of Obstetrician Gynecologists (ABOG) has been recently adjusting education and training requirements to improve the knowledge in Maternal-fetal medicine. MFM subspecialists are now required to do a minimum of 12 months clinical rotation and 18-month research activities. They are encouraged to use simulation and case-based learning incorporated in their training, a certification in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) is required, they are required to develop in-service examination and expand leadership training. Obstetrical care and service has been improved to provide academic advancement for MFM inpatient directorships, improve skills in coding and reimbursement for maternal care, establish national, stratified system for levels of maternal care, develop specific, proscriptive guidelines on complications with highest maternal morbidity and mortality, and finally, increase departmental and divisional support for MFM subspecialists with maternal focus. As Maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists improve their work ethics and knowledge of this advancing field, they are capable of reducing the rate of maternal mortality and maternal morbidity.[10]

many times I wondered that marriage is overrated. and the only reason to get married is not love, but to realise life is too hard to bear when you are all alone. because, however, marriage is a conditional love. hubby once said, marriage is not all fancy and glitter. the lowest it can get is, to keep functioning and it will survive. how both parties can be functional one to another, is another story.

This is a lesson about measuring magnetic field directions of Earth and in the environment. First, learners go outside, far away from buildings, power lines, or anything electrical or metal, and use compasses to identify magnetic North. Next, they use the compasses to probe whether there are any sources of magnetic fields in the local environment, including around electronic equipment such as a CD player and speakers. This is the first lesson in the second session of the Exploring Magnetism teacher guide.

Dear Mitt,
Dear Mitt,
I know we haven't always seen eye to eye. And I know I've been tough on you in the past but you need to hear this from someone…drop this idea of running again.
It must stick in your craw that you lost to an idiot like Barack Obama. But that's the problem, you…lost…to…an…idiot…like…Barack…Obama. Yes, defeating an incumbent President is hard but it's a lot easier in times of economic distress (see Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, granted he invented his own time of distress but "it's the economy stupid" carried the day). Even with crushing levels of unemployment, anemic growth and fear that when ObamaCare kicked in things would get even worse…you LOST.
Yes, you've been proven right about some things since then. About that, they weren't really all that hard to see. Plenty of people were warning about the threat Russia posed, the danger of Obama's Iraq policies, the overall path of the country.
And yet, you…lost…to…Barack…Obama.
We can talk about all the reasons you lost but only one of them really matters.

Mitt Romney won among voters who chose three of those characteristics: shares my values, is a strong leader and has a vision for the future. What's more, he carried them heavily, by between nine and 23 points. In all, 79 percent of voters selected one of these characteristics.
Romney lost because he lost among those who chose the remaining characteristic — by 63 points, 81-18. That characteristic? Cares about people like me.

Voters will forgive or overlook a lot of things but not caring about them isn't one of them.
Yes, you can complain about idiot voters who make this decisions based on the feels but it doesn't matter. No candidate gets to tell voters on what basis they will cast their vote. The candidate's job is to deal with voters as they are, not as they wish them to be. Now, it's going to be very hard, if not impossible, for any Republican to win the feelings cohort outright but you have to do better than -63%.
No "I told you so" campaign is going to move that number.
Yes, voters may say they regret voting for Barack Obama in 2012 but that doesn't mean they would vote for you if given the chance to do it all again. Public opinion polls are conducted in a vacuum. Elections aren't. If they were "Generic Republican" would win every time. Campaigns however involve a choice between two real live candidates that people then have to pick between. When it really counted, when people have to pick between you and the deeply flawed and failing Barack Obama… YOU LOST.
I know this hurts. You're a proud man who has known great success. You were caricatured in unfair and nasty ways last time. Of course your inability to counter those gross distortions was one of the main reasons why giving you another chance is a laughable proposition.
I believe you care deeply about this country and you honestly think you are indispensable to its future. Here you are wrong. As far as the country is concerned (as distinct from family and friends) you're a politician and let's be frank, not a very good one. You were beaten by a failed President who has done much damage to this country and who in the world of business wouldn't even get an appointment with you. That's got to sting.
You've achieved some level of redemption with the way things worked out and how many in the party embraced you during the midterms. Bank those wins and ride off into the sunset. Coming back into the fray is like Willie Mays trying to hang on in the early 70s with the Mets. It was embarrassing for everyone involved. Unlike Willie, you didn't have a Hall of Fame career before the fall that blots out the sad last chapter. Take what you have and be happy with it.
As I said, I'm not a fan so you can just write this off as more hate mail but consider this. My urging you to stay out of the race is an admission against interest. If you run, you'll battle with Jeb and Christie. It will be hilarious to watch three guys who represent so much of what I hate about the GOP rip each other apart.
It's not just entertainment I'd be forgoing with you skipping another run. Your participation would make it easier for a candidate I might actually support like Rand Paul or Scott Walker to win the nomination. With you on the sidelines it becomes more likely that Jeb Bush would win and I'd have to either sit out 2016 or hope the Libertarian Party nominates someone who isn't certifiably insane (and what are the odds of that).
You know what Mitt? Now that I think about it, forget what I've said. You are the man the GOP and America needs right now. Like Obi-Wan, you are our only hope. You were robbed last time and Americans are longing to show you how wrong we were and are begging you to sacrifice your comforts so that we may make amends.
In closing…

A new study confirms that in hospitals, as in other institutions, top management commitment is critical to achieve improvements. And in healthcare, that includes the hospital board.
That is one of the findings in the study, conducted by Eugene Kroch, Ph.D. He is vice president and director of research for consulting firm CareScience. And he is a senior fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the
The study, described in a presentation at the recent conference of theHealthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), was based on 438 responses to a survey of hospitals in nine states (
(This is the first of two postings I'm writing about the survey results. The second will discuss how the hospitals use performance scorecards.)
Kroch correlated the survey results with data developed by CareScience from several sources about hospital quality, to determine how the responses of the best-quality hospitals were different from all others. He found that better outcomes are associated with hospitals where:
- The board spends more than 25 percent of its time on quality issues.
- The board receives a formal quality performance measurement report.
- There is a high level of interaction between the board and the medical staff on quality strategy.
- Compensation for senior executives is based in part on quality improvement performance.
- The CEO is identified as the person with the greatest impact on quality, especially when so identified by the quality improvement executive.
These findings may come as no surprise to those of us familiar with lean concepts. However, with any luck they may serve as a wake-up call for at least a few of the top executives whose hospitals are not among the best.

First we cut the honey comb, second we crushed and strained it, and third we bottled it:
Nothing fancy about any of this. The honey still has plenty of little wax bits floating around, but we don't care. We sterilized the small Mason jars and poured the honey in. No heating, no freezing, nothing. This honey is just for us.
iPad and other non-Flash devices can view slideshow photos here: Our Honey (2011).
I'll be adding more photos to the the honey photo album as we continue to harvest more honey. We didn't have the greatest lighting conditions when we took these photos today. The honey will look better when the sun comes out.
P.S., The honey from these first four bottles came from Hive #2, our foundationless hive.
UPDATE (Sept. 08/11): We made more exact measurements with our next four bottles. Each bottle holds approximately 250ml of honey, about half a pint. The weight measurements come to 340g, about 12oz, 3/4 of a pound of honey per bottle. We got 4.5 bottles from our second foundationless frame of honey, which is 3.4 pounds, a little over 1.5kg. With 27 more frames to go, if we're lucky, we'll get 40kg of honey from our hives this year, or about 90 pounds. We're more than happy with that seeing how it's about 90 pounds more than we expected to get this year.
UPDATE (Sept. 23/11): We managed to pull maybe two more frames from Hive #2, the foundationless hive, maybe three frames. I forgot to take note of the exact number. Either way, for the whole year, we got at most 4 frames of honey from the foundationless hive. Probably only three frames. Not so great, but better than nothing.

Anyway, I won't bore you anymore with the details of yesterday's journey's road conditions. At any rate, I woke up this morning, and was rewarded with a beautiful view of the mountains of Montana from my hotel:
I think I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking that the view would be even more beautiful if that Walmart wasn't in the foreground. Well, if I am a little more tech-savvy, I would probably have photo-shopped that Walmart out of the picture. But I'm not. So Walmart is there to stay... At any rate, I have a feeling that somebody like Heidegger would have something to say about this scene of human technology impinging upon nature: Something about the question concerning technology, or something along those lines... perhaps Grimmly would be able to say something about this here?
I also did some yoga this morning. I went to Down to Earth Yoga in downtown Bozeman for self-practice. It's called "self-practice" and not "Mysore practice", because Randa, the teacher who runs the studio, is away in India studying with Lino Miele. So there was no teacher adjusting or assisting people. It was just me and two other people doing primary series at our own pace. It was a very nice and calming practice. Here's how the practice space looks like:
Here's a close-up of the pictures of Ganesh and Guruji at the front of the practice space:
Well, that's all I have to say for now. I'm going to go soak up the sights of Bozeman for the rest of today. More later.

Scores and Reviews
TIM_ATKIN - The acquisition of some vineyards from Phélan-Ségur has boosted the Merlot quotient of this, the most tannic of Saint Estèphes, but this is still a very firm, backward wine. Essence of Saint Estèphe: dark, brooding, concentrated with amazing, roasted intensity, glycerol-saturated fruit and tannin levels that wouldn't
look out of place in Barolo. A true vin de garde.
DECANTER - Elegant, quite reserved fruit, quite discreet now, will gain in length, but less exciting than 2009.
Steven Spurrier – Decanter – Apr 2011
JANCIS - Elegant, quite reserved fruit, quite discreet now, will gain in length, but less exciting than 2009.
Jancis Robinson MW- jancis robinson.com Apr 2011
PARKER - This is considered to be among the greatest vintages ever made in Montrose, right up with the 1929, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1989, 1990 and 2009. Harvest was October 15 to 17. The wine has really come on since I last tasted it, and it needs at least another 10 years of cellaring. The blend was 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine is opaque black/blue, with an incredible nose of blueberry and blackberry liqueur, with hints of incense, licorice, and acacia flowers. Tannins are incredibly sweet and very present. The wine is full-bodied, even massive, with great purity, depth and a finish that goes on close to a minute. This is a 50- to 75-year-old wine that will repay handsomely those with good aging genes.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate #214 - Aug 2014
WS - This 2010 St.-Estèphe wine is dense and dark, with a massive core of roasted fig, blackberry, espresso and bittersweet cocoa flavors followed by rapier tannins that drive through the finish. Ch. Montrose has both richness and austerity. When it all comes together fully, this should be a superb wine.
James Molesworth – The Wine Spectator – Mar 2011
WA - Tasted at the Montrose vertical in London, the 2010 Montrose was the youngest vintage by some 115 years, but it is undeniably one of the best. It is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot picked from 27 September until 15 October. Deep, almost opaque in color, it has a tightly wound, arresting nose of blackberry, bilberry, crushed violets and graphite all with quite brilliant delineation. The palate is medium rather than full-bodied, laden with plenty of fruit, grippy like many 2010s with a structured, masculine and tannic finish that wards you away for another 10-15 years. However, it is still possible to admire the purity and delineation of this long-term Montrose, a wine that comes with a compulsory cellaring. Patience will be handsomely rewarded. How long can you wait? Tasted June 2016.

The Producer
Château Montrose is one of the leading wine properties of St.Estéphe, and produces some of the longest-lived wines in the Médoc. Montrose had been owned by Jean-Louis Charmolue from 1962 until 2006, when it was sold to Martin and Olivier Bouygues, owner of the eponymously named construction firm Bouygues, is located in the east of the appellation, just north of the hamlet of Marbuzet, on a gravel knoll only 800 metres from the Gironde estuary. The proximity of the estuary ensures a microclimate that protects against frost, and the vines, which lie on deep clay-gravel soils, benefit from a south-easterly aspect.
Montrose's wine is typically a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and is matured in oak barriques (30% new) for 18 months.
Montrose wines are traditionally deeply coloured, austere and powerful when young, yet possess superb ageing potential, and when mature are quintessential St.Estèphe clarets. Montrose is classified as a 2ème Cru Classé.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
The Region
St Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc and borders Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separates it from Ch. Lafite. To the north lies the Bas-Médoc.
St Estèphe is defined by the depth of its gravel, which is ubiquitous but of varying depths and occasionally very shallow, when clay predominates. This keeps the soil cooler and wetter than its counterparts so that the wines can appear fresh in lighter vintages, but superbly successful in hot, dry years.
The best châteaux in the south of the commune have the deepest soil and the thickest gravel. Cos d'Estournel has an exceptional terroir with its vineyards being located on a south-facing ridge of gravel with excellent drainage.
St Estèphe is the least gravelly of main Médoc communes and in the north of the commune the vineyards are heavier and more clay-based leading to a rustic style of wine being produced.
The wines can appear austere in youth with a discernable ferric note at some châteaux, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity an tannins in youth and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux. The well-regarded St Estèphe co-operative controls the production of about half the appellation.

It is just a few days before Christmas and the really hard part for me has arrived. I'm not talking about what to get my husband, my son or my daughter. I'm talking about making my own Christmas list so my poor family can get their shopping done. I've tried the "don't get me anything, my present is making you happy" thing and they just don't buy it. I don't blame them, why should I be the only one that gets to experience the joy of giving? So here I am, again this year, sitting at my keyboard with my thinking cap on, trying to conjure up something. This always makes me feel incredibly lucky that I don't need new crutches or a hip operation or food for my cupboard. What a problem to have, to need to come up with a list of things that a group of people who love me can go out and buy and lovingly wrap and present to me in the warmth of our beautiful home on Christmas morning. I rest my case, I don't need anything that I don't already have, but that just isn't good enough for them. Well, after much consternation, I have managed to come up with a few things that would make me happy but as you can tell, they might not be so easy to find at Macy's. So, dear family, here's my list in no particular order of importance. Happy shopping!
Mom's Christmas List for 2010:
1. A good $40 bra that's straps won't constantly slide off of my shoulders with underwires that poke me in the armpits. I know that Oprah endorses some really good $100 ones but you shouldn't have to mortgage the farm to comfortably hold up the girls.
2. A washer proof cell phone. I want one that can go through the whole heavy duty cycle and still work. They put a man on the moon in 1969; you would think that 41 years later something like this wouldn't be such a big problem.
3. Universal cell phone chargers so you don't have to buy a new car charger every time you wash your cell phone and have to buy a new one.
4. A family dinner at that intriguing looking little Middle Eastern restaurant on the sketchy side of town without any complaining by any teenage boys.
5. Never having to hear the words Heidi, Spencer or Kardashian ever again.
6. A winning lottery ticket wouldn't hurt.
7. Age appropriate clothing for Cher.
8. A new meat thermometer since my old one was used to check aquarium water temperature last year while I was in England.
9. A good therapist for a couple of members of my extended family (don't laugh, everybody has 'em).
10. Osama Bin Laden's head on a stick.
Well, that's about it. See I'm not so hard to shop for, although I'll admit some of these things are going to be really hard to wrap, but remember you asked.
To repay my sweet little family for all of their hard work and shopping, I'm going to cook one of their favorite soups. I started making this one day when all I had to work with was the dregs of my vegetable crisper and a store bought rotisserie chicken carcass. With just a splash of cream, which can easily be omitted if desired, it will give you a nice little break from all the rich holiday food that seems to be everywhere now days.
Creamy Chicken Soup
I always save my roast chicken scraps for soups. Throwing away all of those flavorful bones to me is like throwing away the change from a $5 bill. I'd never dream of being so wasteful. Whether you make this recipe or throw in some vegetables with some rice or noodles, you will definitely get a bonus meal for four people out of what you once thought to be nothing.
1 leftover rotisserie chicken carcass or reserved cooked or uncooked chicken bones (turkey works well too)
6 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large bay leaf
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 cup cream (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Place chicken, water, bouillon granules, celery, onion, carrots and bay leaf in a large stockpot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove chicken bones and transfer to a cutting board to cool; discard bay leaf.
If you have an emersion blender, blend vegetables and stock until creamy in the stockpot. If you are using a countertop blender, remove from the heat and cool mixture. Working in 2 or 3 batches, blend until creamy. Set aside 1/2 cup of the stock and return the remainder to stockpot; set aside.
Remove chicken meat from the bones and discard bones. Chop the meat into small bite size pieces. Add meat to the broth in the stockpot and heat through over medium heat. Add parsley, sage, cream and salt and pepper to taste.
Place the 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour in a small bowl and slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup reserved broth to form a paste. Add to the hot stock in the pot and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, whisk in the flour mixture, cook for approximately 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately or cover, cool and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Serves 4

Karla Walsh - ★★★★★
I can't speak highly enough of Zac's knowledge of the market and buying/selling process. Having never purchased--or even looked for--a home to own, Zac was beyond patient with every silly question and replied promptly with information that even a real estate novice like me could understand. He took into account everything I was looking for, provided ample listings to look through and was quick to join for a tour of homes that might be "The One."
Lillian Wallace - ★★★★★
Zac Bales-Henry is one of a kind Realtor. Being that I am a retired Realtor in a different state, I should know. He went way and beyond what most would do. He showed me places knowing that I would most likely not like , but I wanted to see them and he always obliged. We were suppose to close on the condo we were selling at the end of the month and it took literally, at least, three (3) MORE weeks. We were getting a bit crazy and tired of living surrounded by boxes. Zac and his staff were always patient and courteous even when I was about to give it up. My husband and I have bought 5 homes and two condos in the past 10 years! Zac Bales-Henry for sure is the one to have for your Realtor as a buyer or seller.
Matt smith - ★★★★★
Zac guided us through the process perfectly, providing excellent advice and guidance. We had five showing schedules within two days of listing the home - and an accepted offer within a week. He took the time to understand our specific circumstances and was incredibly responsive to our questions and requests. We won't hesitate to use Zac and his team the next time we sell/buy a home!
Lisa Purcell - ★★★★★
Zac Bales-Henry is by far the best Realtor hands down! I attempted to sell my home by myself a single mom "for sale by owner". Zac happened to show my home to one of his clients and through email exchanges it was evident how knowledgeable and helpful he was even when I wasn't a client.
When selling my home by myself wasn't working I reached out to Zac for some real estate advice and he said he would be willing to help me if I so desired. I definately needed Zac's help since my only option before Foreclosure would be to try and sell my home with the bank by doing a Short Sale on my home.
Joshua & Lacee Conley - ★★★★★
After attempting to go it alone I was very thankful to have brought Zac into the fold. He helped find homes that matched what I was looking for and took the stress out of setting up walk-throughs. Zac also provided honest and matter-of-fact advice as to the value of a particular home and what could be done in the future to ensure that the home I was purchasing was an investment in my future. This meant that on more than one occasion Zac advised that the home was getting out of a reasonable price range and that walking away might be best.
Brandi buskohl - ★★★★★
We were not easy clients, and Zac was so patient and wonderful with us out-of-towers who were very specific about what we wanted. For months, he worked hard finding us our perfect home! We put offers on two other houses before finally finding The One and each time, Zac gave us great advice and kept us from making regrettable decisions. When a last-minute glitch came up in the days leading up to closing on the one we did buy, he went to the wall for us and made sure we didn't spend a penny more than the agreed upon price. We are so happy we chose Zac (and his partner, Travis, as well!) as our realtor!
Ruth - ★★★★★
Zac was great to work with he made the experience very easy and painless. He did an amazing job making sure I ended up with the house of my dreams. I could not have done this without him! I would recommend him to any and everyone!
When it came time to sell my house due to relocation he was the first one I called. He was great about getting my house on the market quickly and it sold in 18 days. I owe it all to him. He was patient and quick to answer any questions I had. He was also very flexible in working with me and my schedule for showings due to travel. Words cannot express how much I truly appreciate all his hard work and help.

Check out how fabulous this house turned out - using ideas and creativity and not making a seller go and purchase a bunch of unnecessary items . . . most homeowners have things to work with. It takes talent, creativity, and patience to figure out how to best make it work. Next step for this seller would be to paint out some of the dark rooms but otherwise, this house is Staged and ready to show!

Logan Square | Website

This quirky neighborhood hangout comes to Logan Square courtesy of Mike Dyra and Joe Sabath, the former owners of Cleos in West Town and Bucktown. The decor is quirky -- think marbles everywhere you look -- and the menu is, in a word, wallet-friendly. Most menu items are under $5, from a spicy mayo-drizzled fried chicken hoagie to pita pizzas to diner-style burgers with customizable toppings. A dozen beers on tap include local craft picks such as Half Acre Daisy Cutter and Three Floyds Alpha King. The kitchen stays open late churning out booze-soaking snacks such as fried cheddar cheese curds and wings matched with sauces such as bourbon barbecue and pico lime, a creamy chili-lime sauce. Vegetarians, don't miss the homemade garlic-avocado hummus, veggie burger or veggie hoagie. Daily deals such as $3 Jameson shots every day and a $4 bloody mary bar on Sundays are sure to keep the neighborhood's so-called broke hipsters happy. The only thing that could make everyone happier? The 90-seat back patio that's tented and heated during the winter.

I believe that the Proust Geometrical Chair would be a great furniture addition to any home. Most pieces of furniture follow a specific color pattern. Mellini's chair would add a little bit of spice to the all brown, green or black living rooms that are all too common around the country.

I did a Wheeljack leg mod last night using a Reveal The Shield Turbo Tracks that I found on clearance. There are a few different ways you can do this mod that involve Dremmeling the Wheeljack parts, but I didn't want to damage him so I sacrificed a Tracks instead. The final result is pretty rough, but that's fine for me because it's on the rear of the legs and it's just for display. If you want to do a cleaner, more professional job I recommend using a Dremmel to finely grind and shape the parts, rather than hacking away at the plastic with a pair of pliers, which is what I did.
Check out the pics below.
If done correctly this mod does not affect transformation.
It's up to you whether or not you use the Tracks fixed wheels, or remove them and stick with the pivoting Wheeljack wheels. I chose the latter because I don't want to damage my Wheeljack figure. Also bear in mind that if you want to use the Tracks wheels the silver on them is a slightly different shade, which might be noticeable in vehicle mode.
