Love Never Dies, Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest musical hit that follows the ongoing story of The Phantom Of The Opera, is to take a performance hiatus from 22 to 25 November as alterations are made to the production.
A statement released by the Really Useful Group, the show's producers, explains that: "Some changes were written up over the summer and destined for the Australian production, and as they make improvements to the show we'd be mad not to put them into the Adelphi (production in London)." There has been no comment on exactly which elements of the show will be altered.
Theatregoers who have purchased tickets for performances on 22 to 25 November are advised to contact the point of sale.
Love Never Dies, which opened in London in March, picks up the Phantom's story a decade after the murderous events at the Paris Opera House portrayed in Lloyd Webber's original musical. The malevolent masked musician has left France behind for life amid the bright lights, loud noises and colourful characters of New York's Coney Island fairground, but is haunted by his past and cannot forget his love for Christine.
The rollercoaster musical stars Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom – a character he previously played in the London production of The Phantom Of The Opera, becoming the youngest performer to do so – and Sierra Boggess as Christine.
Following its opening in London earlier this year, Love Never Dies will open at Melbourne's Regent Theatre in May 2011. Far from being a replica of the London production, the Australian show will feature new direction by Simon Phillips, director of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert The Musical, and design by Sydney-based Gabriela Tylesova.

It was a dark and stormy night . Many writers were gathered in the dungeon called Manilla/Singapore. Many faced one direction, a Few glared back from the other. Suddenly, one in the middle spoke, asked a question of the Few. Others behind the table spoke in turn, sometimes enthusiastically, interrupting each other. Wisdom passed from the Few to the Many…A storm rumbled overhead, but the writers paid little heed, for the discussion riveted their attention to the front of the room.
Suddenly, there was enlightenment. One of the Many rose and querried…One among the Few answered. Then another. And another. More wisdom transferred from the Few to the Many… And, thus, Writer's Track sustained the Many thirsting after knowledge. And, it was good.
Come one, come all…Writer's Track is the place to be if your ambition is to become a published writer in any genre. We take on all comers…comics, gamers, novelists, screenwriters…and more.

It's been a year like many others. Some of it good, some of it bad, some of it horrifically stressful. I try to stay above water to the best of my abilities and take it in stride when I can and take it with less poise when I have to. What can I say, it's life. I do hope 2013 brings me less stress and more financial stability, cause I think that would be the major turning point for me right now.
As far as school-work, I sometimes wonder if I'll ever finish the Master. Yet I still chose to take additional courses this semester despite not needing it for my degree. What can I say, I am an academic at heart. But all this homework and these assignments are quite the load to carry, and so in the past three weeks, the only two days I've been free and off-duty were the day of my friends bachlorette-party and Christmas Eve, which turned out to be cozy and nice and relaxing in just the way I had hoped it would be.
I think what I've really missed out on this past semester is reading and writing for my own benefit. I think I've read two novels that weren't in any way school or work related. I haven't written a single short-story, extract or poem in months and months. I was planning on joining NaNoWriMo and even signed up on the page, but ended up having to write articles and papers instead. That being said, it's not like I haven't produced text: I wrote articles and reviews for work, homework, blog post (though not much of it is here as of late, but here at times, and mostly at The owl and the pussycat since October). I wrote a 12 page convention report from this years Swecon that got an honarary mention at Tystnad, and was printed in SF-Forum.
It has in many ways been a year I needed to get through. I don't feel like I actually finished many tasks or accomplished very many things, but I did a lot to get closer to quite a few goals, and I think that's OK.
I feel content, I feel loved, I love as well and all in all don't feel as disapointed with the years now that it's ending as I though I would a month or too ago. It's over soon anyway, why not look ahead instead?

Mexico is also a firm favourite with British celebrities. Actress Kate Beckinsale and her husband, Len Wiseman, are here right now. They were snapped by photographers from Splash.com enjoying the facilities at a Mexican resort yesterday. Kate has dyed her hair blonde for the occasion.
The couple met on the set of 'Underworld', which was directed by Len and starred Kate. They have been married for seven years. Their daughter, Lily, is also with them in Mexico.
The rise in popularity for Mexico, amongst the British, has been facilitated by British Airways. The major airline has added Cancun to its list of flight destinations. Previouly British holidaymakers had to fly to Miami or another American airport, then catch a connecting 'plane south.

Breath testing machines are commonly used to estimate a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) before an arrest. Colorado law enforcement officers typically use an Intoxilyzer 5000, which is a particular brand of breath-testing machine.
All breath testing machines work on the principle that alcohol, once it's ingested, enters the bloodstream through the walls of the digestive tract. Once it's there, the alcohol travels with the blood throughout the body, including into the lungs, where the blood drops off carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen as you breathe. Some of the alcohol in your blood leaves the body as you breathe out, along with the carbon dioxide.
The Intoxilyzer uses infrared (IR) spectroscopy to sense the number of alcohol molecules in a breath sample. Since alcohol molecules have a different weight and shape than carbon dioxide or any other molecule in human breath, the IR spectroscope inside the Intoxilyzer machine can be calibrated to "see" these molecules while ignoring others in the sample. The machine then measures the number of alcohol molecules it "sees" against the total sample size to determine what percentage of the sample is alcohol. This number estimates the percentage of the test-taker's blood that is alcohol. A person with a BAC percentage of 0.08 or higher is prohibited from driving under Colorado law.
The Intoxilyzer is a piece of precision equipment that must be calibrated, tested, and maintained regularly in order to give accurate test results. If you have been charged with drunk driving in Colorado, the experienced Colorado DUI lawyers at The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. can help you build an aggressive defense that fights for the best possible outcome in your case.

Justin Bieber is no stranger to getting inked–in fact, the young pop star may be addicted. Call it the rockstar lifestyle if you want, but I think he's going a bit overboard. Sure, it's his body, but we're the ones who have to look at it all the time, thanks to his personal 24/7 team of paparazzi! In October, he got inked with a cartoon owl. He also has a face of Jesus, a crown, a Hebrew word, a seagull–well, he has a lot of them! He got his first ink at the tender age of 16, and hasn't been able to stop since.
Yesterday, Justin shared a photo on Instagram of his latest ink: a set of praying hands surrounded by gaudy roses. I have to say, when it comes to religious tattoos, more is better! The tattoo is on his left outer calf, on the back of which is the big Jesus face. I expect he's hoping to go full out and continue the theme! You can check out his picture below–do you think he's got enough, or is more better in this case? Boy has to be running out of skin space! Maybe his next tat will be Selena Gomez's face? Or maybe a tribute to his abandoned hamster Pac?
In any case, Justin should probably be spending more time thinking about his relationships and less about whether or not he has roses tattooed on his ankles. No offense to the kid, but in case he hasn't noticed, his personal life is hanging by a thread ever since his affair with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Selena wasn't too upset about that–it's not like she's lost a ton of weight since the news reached her. But with a big tattoo like this every 3 months, he'll soon be all covered up!

There is a danger, which many of us fail to avoid, that we start to define ourselves as individuals or as groups by identifying what we aren't, or what we don't do, rather than what we are and what we do.
France has traditionally had a strong identity, but all too often it is by defining differences. They have a phrase: "exception française". But this exception very very often becomes an excuse. "We're different" ends up being a weakness, a reason not to even try. And that's very, very sad.
Here in Corsica, they talk about the "exception corse", a philosophy which boils down to "the French are different and we're different from the French, so we're really different." And again, it becomes an excuse for weakness, particularly when it comes to English classes. Some of my strongest students aren't from Corsica -- they're from the mainland.
Why should Corsica be any worse off than mainland France? It's a Mediterranean island, so it's a popular tourist destination for people from all over Europe. English is spoken here all the time by tourists from the UK and the rest of Europe. Heck, I've seen reviews by Germans online complaining about the fact that the owner of a dirt-cheap backpacker's campsite can't speak English. A) why complain? B) proof that English is vital to tourism.
But they've managed to define themselves as a community that can't learn English, and they're doing their best to fulfill their own prophecy. Which is very, very sad.
The same philosophy of "we're different" seems to underlie their own language, too. Many are fiercely proud that Corsica is very different from French. But at the same time, many go to pains to identify it as different from Italian, its closest relative (the nearest part of mainland Europe is Tuscany, where most of the features of Modern Standard Italian are taken from).
As a learner, it's a bit frustrating, though, when you say something and get told it's Italian. Quite often it is, because I'm just guessing, but very often it is Corsican. Because as with any language, there are variations. Things I have learned from one source are "corrected" by someone from a different region with the usual "no, that's Italian" - it's kind of off-putting.
That said, it's not like I haven't experienced this kind of thing before, and it's not like I wasn't guilty of it myself for a fair while, because isn't it true that in the same way UK English defines itself as "not American"? How many times do we criticise each other for using "Americanisms", when a great many Americanisms actually originated in regional variation within the British Isles? And given that a great many of these originated in Hiberno-English or in Scots, or indeed the Gaelic languages of both Ireland and Scotland, and given that I'm a Scot of Irish ancestry... well, when someone from another part of the UK criticised me for using Americanisms, was it true? Had I really picked up "bad habits" from TV? And when I did the same thing, was it true? Or was the real crime not "Americanism", but simply "being different from me"?
Because that's one of the biggest problems that any group identity faces: the false assumption of identicality. Even within a group, we must all be allowed variation and individual identity. One of the reasons Scottish nationalism often slips into Anglophobia is as a reaction to the uniform notion of "Britishness" that is imposed on us from the south. "British people" hate the French (Scotland's historical ally) and "British food" includes many regional English dishes, but no Scottish ones. "British people" wave the flag and love the queen.
This narrow notion of "Britishness" doesn't account for or allow the full variation of individual identity within the group of people it purports to define, so it is rejected by a great many people.
People say that nationalism is inherently bad because it focuses on differences, and is therefore divisive. I say that is not to be taken as a given: I believe that there is a real need to focus on our differences and to accept them. It is when we try to pretend that those differences don't exist that we become divided.

LAS VEGAS — Lawrence Orbe didn't come to the Las Vegas Strip looking to win big. He didn't come for the strippers or over-the-top shows.
He came to die.
Orbe, 64, checked into the exclusive Four Seasons Hotel on March 11 after driving his silver Jaguar from his condominium in Montecito, Calif.
Five days later, a maid found the businessman in his room, slumped in a chair with a gunshot wound to the head and a suicide note in his leather briefcase.
"Las Vegas was one of his very favorite places," said his former wife, Loni Chiarella. "They always treated him like a king. He loved Las Vegas."

'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' Season 1, Episode 2: "You Be the Newsman, I'll Be Liz Taylor"
The first episode of David Letterman's show left much to be desired. Even though it did boast a prestigious guest, it lacked much content in terms of today's society. For the next episode, George Clooney isn't as well known as the 44th president. Despite that, Letterman once again strikes up an intriguing conversation that is entertaining and informative.
The show opens with Letterman and Clooney outside of the studio near an airport. This part of the show feels almost meaningless with the duo only discussing plane types and eating food. The episode then goes quickly into the previous interview style like the other episode.
Compared to the previous episode, Clooney is very quick to explain his childhood. He elaborates on how his parents, Nick and Nina Clooney, were prominent figures for the media. Due to where he grew up, the show takes new scenery in the Midwest.
Letterman creates the best moment of this episode when he connects his own experience in Indiana with Clooney's experience in Ohio and Kentucky. For example, Nick Clooney used to do his own talk show. It was also entertaining to learn that George would dress up as holiday characters to be interviewed on the show. By visiting Clooney's parents, Letterman truly connects the audience with Clooney's childhood. Letterman also illustrates Clooney's close connections to his parents. The most interesting takeaway from this was a photo set that compared a photo of Nick Clooney's interview with President Ford to another photo which showed George Clooney listening to President Obama.
The show thankfully glances over most of Clooney's acting career. Clooney says that he got his acting career from his uncles and showed some of his first acting roles. While Letterman did ask Clooney where he got his passion from, the show takes an interesting turn toward Clooney's wife, Amal. Amal Clooney is an international law and human rights lawyer. It is funny to see George fail in the comparison between his films and her legal accomplishments.
Unlike the last episode, Letterman proceeds to talk about more current events. Currently, the Clooney family is supporting an Iraqi refugee named Hazim Avdal. Letterman gets the privilege to talk to him about how ISIS is currently hunting down people of his religion. Avdal is of the Yazidi minority religion and is extremely grateful for his ability to get an education in the United States. Letterman even compares Avdal's pursuit of education with his own education at Ball State. The Clooney family is connected with Avdal due to George and Amal's attempts to prevent the Yazidi genocide by bringing ISIS criminals to court. The couple describes it as enacting rightful justice instead of violent revenge.
The episode concludes at the same beginning location. Letterman tells a poor joke to Clooney and that's all. This creates the same sensation of confusion as the beginning. There is clearly a humorous connection between the two celebrities.
Throughout the show, there was a greater variety of people that Letterman interviews. Also, his conversation with Clooney was just as original and quick as episode one. The defining theme of this episode is that people are more connected than they realize.

A 4,000m² floating tank roof at a petrochemical plant required to have a complete refurbishment as it was currently suffering from extensive wear and tear damage.
Pictures: Before Application
The low temperature conditions of the winter season, high humidity and occasional rain showers made this an extremely difficult project for the originally specified 3-coat epoxy paint system.
The client gave a 24 day time schedule for completion of this project.
Following many other successful applications by the site contractor, Epo-chem™ RL 500PF, a wet & rust tolerant epoxy coating, was specified as the coating system to be used for this project.
Pictures: During Application
The tank roof was high pressure washed to remove salt deposits and other contamination, with the areas suffering from heavy corrosion being spot blasted or mechanically prepared down to metal.
Spot blasted areas were coating with one coat of Epo-chem™ RL 500PF @ 150 microns.
Excess water was then removed before two coats of Epo-chem™ RL 500PF were applied @ 150 microns each over the entire tank roof.
Pictures: Completed Application
During the contract, the freshly coated areas experienced many occasions of heavy rain and many puddles of cold water forming withing hours of application. The Epo-chem™ RL 500PF was left untouched to cure underwater without the necessity of any remedial work. Chemco also offered the client a long-term guarantee, despite the cold condition.
This is unique and completely unheard of in the history of tank roof applications.
The planned 24 day program was actually completed in only 12 days, offering huge cost savings as compared to other conventional paints were long delays would have occurred due to the bad weather.
Since the successful completion of this contract, the same solution has now been specified and has been applied across a number of tank roofs on various other sites for the same petrochemical company.
By using this unique solution, the following benefits were achieved:
- Surface preparation flexibility
- No delays due to adverse weather conditions
- Applicable to wet and rusty surface
- Can be applied in any environmental condition
- Significantly reduced downtime
- Long-term guarantee
- Substantial time and cost savings

California Companies Must Pay Premium For On-Call Rest Periods: Augustus v ABM Security Services, Inc.
The California Supreme Court recently held that California companies must pay for on-call rest periods. See Augustus-v.-ABM-Security 2016 WL 7407328 (Cal. Dec. 22, 2016)2016 WL 7407328 (2016) In Augustus, the plaintiffs, who worked as security guards at sites throughout California, alleged that ABM required guards to keep their radios and pagers on during rest periods. Guards were to remain "vigilant and responsive" to calls and alerts at all times. As a result, the guards alleged that they did not receive a duty-free rest period as prescribed by law.
During discovery, ABM acknowledged that guards were not relieved of all duties during rest periods and were often required to fulfill service requests. For example, upon receiving a notification while on break, guards were to escort tenants to their vehicles, notify building managers of maintenance issues, or respond to emergency service requests.
The trial court granted summary judgment for the guards and concluded that the company exercised great control over the guards while on their rest period. Such control was indistinguishable from normal work duties. For example, because guards were still subject to respond to service requests while on break, no break was in fact provided. Hence, the trial court found in favor of the plaintiffs and awarded $90 million in damages, interest, and penalties.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal reversed, concluding that, although ABM did not relieve guards of all duties on rest periods, state law does not require employees to be relieved of all duties during rest periods and that being on call does not constitute performing work.
The California Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeal's holding. The Supreme Court first addressed whether state law requires employers to provide off-duty rest periods (i.e., employee completely relived from work duties) in accordance with Wage Order 4, subdivision 12:
"Every employer shall authorize and permit all employees to take rest periods…․ Authorized rest period time shall be counted, as hours worked for which there shall be no deduction from wages."
The Court concluded that the ordinary meaning of "rest" conveys the "opposite of work," as supported by Labor Code section 226.7. The Court held that in regards to off-duty rest periods, employers must relieve employees of all of their duties and relinquish control over how employees spend their time while on break.
In regards to on-call rest periods, the Court concluded that "one cannot square the practice of compelling employees to remain at the ready, tethered by time and policy to particular locations or communications devices, with the requirement to relieve employees of all work duties and employer control during 10-minute rest periods." During on-call rest periods, employees must be relieved of their work duties and freed from employer control as to how they spend their time. The Court further held that an employer can reasonably reschedule a rest period when the need arises (i.e., emergency situations). Under such circumstances, an employer could pay a premium to employees for continued work or reschedule their break to a later time.
In closing, the Court held that employers must provide duty free rest periods to non-exempt employees under the industrial Welfare Commission Wage Order No. 4-2001 and Labor Code section 226.7.
Employers should examine their rest period policies to ensure conformance with California laws.

You probably already know The United States is in huge financial debt…
Yet most people don't realize how bad the problem really is… and how quickly we're heading for a massive financial collapse…
EVG Research team here, and today we're going to take a hard look at the naked truth about America's huge financial problems.
Yet as we expose the root cause of the economic woes, you'll also discover the surprising hero that could put America back on top.
In fact, this new technology is already making a lot of everyday people extremely rich.
Before we dig into all the juicy details, however, we first need to brush up on some vital background information…
America's Biggest Problem
Ask 10 economists about America's biggest problem and you'll likely get 10 different answers.
Some will say it's our government's debt and out-of-control spending.
Other's will point to lack of jobs. Some will claim a low minimum wage is holding us back. Still others will put the blame on crippling health care costs, over-regulation or a host of other legitimate threats to America's economic health.
But perhaps the biggest threat of all to our national well-being is our inability to produce anything the rest of the world wants anymore.
Let me explain.
The U.S. is Currently Suffering a
Massive Trade Deficit
That means we import more commodities and manufactured goods than we export. History and economics tell us that such situations are not sustainable.
And they never end well.
The U.S. has gotten away with this imbalance for so long for one simple reason.
The U.S. Dollar is the world's reserve currency.
It's had that status since 1948 as part of the post WWII reconstruction plan.
I don't want to take us too far off track, but please try to follow along here. Because understanding these basic facts is the only way you can make wise investment choices.
Here's why being the world's reserve currency is so important. The U.S. never has to convert its money to buy goods abroad.
Other countries have to first convert their currency into U.S. Dollars if they want to buy goods or services in the world marketplace.
But when we buy stuff from them, they have to accept our money straight up.
This simple fact gives the U.S. a huge – and unfair – advantage over every other country in the world.
America's Unfair Advantage
You see, we can just print more money any time we need it. Other countries simply have to accept it, because it's the reserve currency.
It's not a power to abuse, and any responsible economist will tell you it's sheer suicide if this special power is overused.
Which is why our central bank – the Federal Reserve – has never abused that power in the past.
At least until the last 5 years.
Ever since the first "quantitative easing" program known as QE, the Fed has basically strapped a turbo booster on their money printing machine and flooded our economy with over $3.8 trillion new greenbacks.
It's almost like playing with monopoly money. And the new dollars are worth about as much.
Rest assured, this doesn't make other countries happy. They know they are receiving diluted money for goods they export to us.
And what sane foreign country wants to buy our Treasury bonds when they know it's only backed up with this fresh, new "funny money?"
At this point, however, there's nothing these other nations can do about it.
At least not yet.
This Is Where Things Get Scary…
Several leading economists are sounding the alarm that the U.S. Dollar may eventually lose its reserve currency status.
Some predict it will happen in the next 5 years.
Several nations have already forged deals to bypass the U.S. Dollar when trading oil amongst themselves. And they'd love nothing more than to dethrone the mighty Dollar's reserve currency status.
Most Americans have no idea what kind of devastation that would bring upon America.
The cost of everything would go up instantly. Two, three, even four hundred percent inflation would shock us like a giant tsunami.
A gallon of milk could cost $10. A pound of coffee would likely soar over $25. Even a simple pair of shoes for your child could zoom past the $200 mark.
The only reason such inflation hasn't already occurred is because we don't have to exchange our money to purchase our imports.
There Is A Way to Stop the Madness
The cure for all this goes back to that trade deficit situation.
If America could once again become a net EXPORTER of goods, it could completely change the game.
First of all, it would restore faith in the strength of the U.S.Dollar among the nations of the world.
They would be happy to keep the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency instead of trying to wrestle that privilege away from us.
And the benefits at home would also be enormous.
We could pay off our national debt.
Unemployment numbers would plummet.
Budget surpluses would soar.
U.S. currency could actually become "sound money" again.
Now, none of this would happen overnight, of course.
But it can happen. It just needs a catalyst to kick start the process.
These New, Emerging Technologies Are Not Quite Ready…
Visionaries have already cited a number of industries that could fill that role and make America great again with exportable goods.
In a May 2014 article, Forbes magazine cited bright futures for emerging industries like 3D printing. Solar power technologies. Electric cars.
Those all have incredible potential. But it'll likely take decades before they're mature enough to rescue a crumbling national economy like ours.
We need something in the meantime that can save the sinking ship. Something that can do the job right here, right now.
Because "later" could be too late.
Interestingly enough, there is one industry which already has the infrastructure in place to do that kind of rescue job starting today.
In fact, experts say this particular industry has the power to stop the bleeding of trillions in government red ink … and put us solidly "in the black" in as little as 10 years.
America's Unlikely Hero Unmasked
This unlikely hero for American prosperity is none other than the often-vilified energy industry.
Specifically, we're talking about oil and gas producers.
So if you're not averse to investing in America's economic well-being, there's a lot of money to be made in the next 30 years or so.
The New Technologies Being Used
In This Old Industry Are Making
a Lot of Ordinary People Very Rich
You probably already know America is experiencing an oil boom…
And it's creating 38 new millionaires every week in North Dakota alone.
What you may not know is how quickly it's weaning us off foreign oil sources.
Last year, U.S. crude imports fell by 11%, even though national oil consumption grew.
In fact, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reports the U.S. is already producing 8 million barrels of oil per day. That's more than every individual OPEC member except Saudi Arabia.
And it positions the United States to become a net exporter of oil in the coming decades.
That single fact foreshadows the role the oil and gas industry could have in rescuing The United States from total financial collapse.
Why This Is Important for Individual Investors
This is terrific news for individual investors like you and me.
You see, lawmakers like to reward investment activity that benefits the common good of the nation.
That's why current tax laws give substantial incentives to oil and gas investors.
Policy makers are just starting to recognize the important role new oil and gas technology could play in creating a sustained economic turnaround.
They understand America needs the oil industry to succeed.
So look for hefty tax breaks to continue for those who take on the risk and produce the coveted crude.
It means even a small investment today could pay off huge down the road.
After all, this is one of the few booms in the history of America where everyday folks — farmers, teachers, mechanics, you name it — are becoming millionaires.
The good news is you don't have to own a piece of oil-rich land in North Dakota or Texas to make thousands of dollars from this oil boom.
You can likely ride the wave of success regardless of where you live…
That leaves just one question.
What's the Best Way to Cash In?
If you want to strike it rich in the emerging American oil boom, most traditional investment advisors will give you two choices.
They say you can play it safe and buy stock in the major oils companies like Exxon or Chevron.
Or you could try to speculate and find a junior company that's ready to break out … load up on their stocks … and keep your fingers crossed.
The problem with either of those options is they are 3rd tier investments. You still take on all the potential risk inherent in oil & gas investing, but you give up the rewards, and let the primary and secondary investors capitalize on all the huge tax incentives.
That's not wise investing. You should get more reward than just a "potential" capital appreciation.
Which is why wealthy investors rarely invest in energy by buying stocks. They know there are much more lucrative plays. So they go straight to the source.
Or at least as close as they can.
3 Different Ways to Invest
You see, with any kind of investing, there are basically three different levels.
There are primary investments, which is when you own a company. Then there are secondary investments when you become an active or passive partner in an existing business. Finally there are the 3rd tier investments like stocks.
Most of the money is made at the first and second levels. This is also where most of the tax incentives live.
Third level investors usually just get the leftover crumbs. And almost no tax incentives. That's why wealthy investors avoid them.
First tier investments, however, are rather costly. But if you have the capital, they can be extremely lucrative.
Imagine you start a company that drills oil wells, and you strike it rich. You don't have to share that with anyone. It's 100% your profit. And you get such huge tax breaks you don't even have to share much of your bounty with Uncle Sam.
Starting a primary oil and gas company has made a lot of people extremely rich over the years.
Unfortunately, its an expensive endeavor. You have to buy or lease all the equipment, hire geologists to find the right spots and secure land leases. Then you need a team of lawyers to make sure you are following all the laws and to hammer out royalty agreements.
Frankly, it's a big money pit at first, because you'll invest tens of millions of dollars before you ever drill a hole in the ground.
And then when you're finally ready to start operations, you'll need another $10,000,000 just to drill a single well.
That's where secondary investors come in.
Smaller drilling companies offer individual investors a chance to partner with them by bankrolling a new drilling project.
This is the investment "sweet spot" where you'll find most wealthy investors hanging out.
Here's How it Works
Meet Eric. He's is an internet entrepreneur who struck it rich. He has 10 million dollars cash sitting in the bank and he wants to invest in oil and gas, so he partners with a company called Oil Drillers Inc.
Eric doesn't like to get his hands dirty, so he just puts up the $10 million cash and becomes a general partner.
Oil Drillers Inc. uses Eric's money to start drilling the wells. Once they start producing, the money starts flowing too.
Eric starts getting checks every month for his investment. How much? In this case, Eric gets a monthly check for $150,000. That's within the typical 12-20% annual return.
He can use that monthly cash flow however he wants. He can spend it. Save it.
Or he can turn around and start investing his proceeds into more oil and gas. Or some other lucrative cash flow asset like apartment complexes.
Plus, he gets huge tax write offs. Especially in the first year.
This is how wealthy investors accelerate their passive income streams.
After 5 year's of cashing in those monthly $150,000 checks, Eric receives a notice while vacationing with his family in Aruba.
Oil Driller's Inc. has decided to sell this oil well to another firm. The selling price is twice the original cost of starting the project.
So in the divestment, Eric gets his entire $10 million back, plus another $10 million on top.
Remember, that's in addition to all the monthly royalty checks he already received.
And he never had to get his hands dirty. He just cashed the checks.
Now you know how the rich keep getting richer.
What's In It For Me?
Of course, unless you have $10,000,000 lying around (the typical cost of a new drilling project), you can't do what Eric did.
Oil and gas companies recognize this and typically break these drilling projects into smaller individual investing units. This allows secondary investors to get in on the action with a minimum investment of $100,000.
Better? Sure.
But it's still out of reach for many intermediate investors who'd like to get in on this cash-gushing industry.
Here's some good news. We recently found a company that further chunks out each investing unit into tenths, enabling even small investors to join the party with a $10,000 minimum investment.
It should be clear by now that secondary investing in oil and gas is not suitable for everyone. There are some minimal income requirements you must meet. And if this is your first investment, it may not be the best place to start.
But for everyone else, it could be the perfect bonanza.
Because a $10k investment is much more manageable for a most people. Yet it could still net you hundreds of dollars each month in extra cash flow and tax savings. Plus you'll have the potential doubling of your money during divestment.
Reinvest those proceeds in other cash flow assets (like the ones we explore in The Elevation Group) … and you've found one of the quickest and smartest ways to zoom past middle class mediocrity and join the investing elite.
This is the simple system ultra-wealthy investors use to proactively assure their own financial freedom.
Now you can copy their success.
If you'd like to find out more about how elite investors use this unique investing strategy (and many, many more), you'll want to watch the free presentation our president Mike Dillard has prepared for you.

"Empathy means realizing no trauma has discrete edges. Trauma bleeds. Out of wounds and across boundaries." – Leslie Jamison, The Empathy Exams
This afternoon it's raining as I am driving home from the dealership where my car was under repair. I leave the music off, listen for the ticking and whirring of the motor to tell me that the heart of my vehicle is running smoothly. This is the second time I have picked it up in a month.
My left eyebrow is still twitching. It has been since Friday, four days ago. I press things to it — my fingertips, the back of a spoon, the rounded bottom of a cold water bottle — to make it stop. It does not stop.
My left eyebrow is twitching as I walk through the front door of my friend's house around lunchtime.
"This is the ghost house," he says, gesturing to the left half of the home. It looks like a model home someone forgot about: a round wooden dining table laden with purposefully stacked plates; empty mugs atop wooden coasters carved from segments of tree branch; two sofas on either side of a silent fireplace; no appliances in the kitchen. "No one goes over here," he says. The only bedroom I see other than his is empty, a mattress on a bedframe with no sheets.
Something about this small moment haunts me, the way things have the past few days. He calls for the cat that lives outside but it does not come. I stand in the doorway. His mattress is on the floor.
I am haunted by other images, too. The headlights of cars blurred into softness by the haze of fog and snow, casting round beams through the barrier on the northbound highway. It's Sunday night and my brother is driving me south, back to normal life. It's so dark, all I can see is the snow in the headlights and a small stretch of road, and the fuzzy glow of lights on the opposite side of the freeway.
On his drive to pick me up on Friday evening, rolling along the same stretch of road, he detoured around a traffic jam causing a half-hour delay in southbound traffic. The collision blocking the road, we learned later, was fatal, killing one of the drivers. I found these clinical, broad details from reading the news report. My brother knew, from driving past, that one of the cars was blue. In some way, he said, knowing that detail felt wrong — too intimate — like carrying a piece of someone's trauma without ever having earned a place in it.
So there is the theme of vehicles, road noise, softness, damage. Also things seen in passing, emptiness, and ghosts. I keep hearing the song in my head: "Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car. I was in the backseat, just minding my own."
On Thursday night we left the concert and walked to a diner two blocks away. The air was frigid. As soon as we sat down, I ordered hot tea and forgot to brew it, leaving the mug to grow cold before I remembered to put the tea bag in.
On Friday morning I sat backstage in our school auditorium and cried every time the lights went down, knowing that was when my students, seated on risers onstage, would not see or hear me. It felt like the end of the world then.
Now it feels like a dull ache, like a deep vase full of black ink inserted neatly into my ribcage. I think I'm all right, but my eyebrow won't stop twitching.
On Thursday night we walked back to the parking garage in almost silence. We hugged in the doorway to the elevator and said goodbye. I regret that now — saying goodbye. As if anyone has a right to leave someone else for good. To get away without a scratch.
On Sunday, I walk with him around the memorials in the park in front of the capitol building in Phoenix. I hold his hand and I look at all the scars. The air is chilly, cuts past my sweater. My flight back to Denver is in three hours. I can feel the twitch in my left eyebrow. I look for it in the mirror when we get back to his house.
On Sunday night I pull the poster down off my wall. I'm not sure what to keep, what to get rid of, and what to hide. I ask a friend to get my records back.
There is nowhere to go, nothing to do but feel it living inside me, radiating out of me, like an insidious parasite — a black mantis shrimp buried behind my collarbone. The dark is so absolute, all that is left are headlights and the lines of bright snow against the windshield. I imagine I will not spin out from this collision, but I am not too sure. I am not sure at all.

Did you know that EY people regularly donate through the EY Matched Giving Program – and EY Australia and EY New Zealand will match their contribution dollar for dollar?
The EY Foundation Matched Giving Program allows our people to donate to a registered charity of their choice directly from their pre-tax pay and EY will match the contribution dollar for dollar. This means a monthly contribution of just $20 from pre-tax earnings will provide their favourite charity with $480 each year!
In exchange for meeting challenges and consistently high performance, you deserve to be rewarded for your contribution to EY's success.
You'll have access to a great range of benefits including:
Career break* You can apply for a three-month career break to take time away from work to go travel or explore other personal interests.**

We realise that some people want to balance their responsibilities, others want to work smarter and for most of us, we just more out of life. That's why we strongly believe that it's not about where you work, when you work or how long you work; it's about the quality of what you deliver that matters most to us.
By feeling empowered to be the best parent, manager and teammate we see our people go from strength to strength. So by changing how we think about work and embracing different possibilities, we can give you the flexibility you need to work your way, to get the most out of life.

Dear Amy: I am an attractive 70-year-young woman who has been going to a therapist for two years for depression. The depression is much better now. However, I have been gradually losing my hair. I come from a family of women with thinning hair, and my mother and grandmother both wore wigs as older women.
After much soul-searching, research and trial-and-error, I bought a very realistic silver-gray wig and started wearing it.
It looks great. My sister didn't even realize it was a wig. People just say that my hair looks good. I am divorced and trying online dating, so I feel I need all the help and confidence I can get. Believe me, my wig doesn't look like Dolly Parton's big hair.
I've observed that it is acceptable for men to have thinning (or no) hair, but not women.
This week — out of the blue — my therapist told me I was "wearing a mask for society." When I asked what she meant by that, she said she was referring to my wig and that my own hair wasn't that bad.
Now I'm wondering if I am hiding my real self by wearing a wig.
Any comments from you or your readers?
— Reluctant Wig-wearer
Dear Reluctant: In my view, if you went into your therapist's office with your depression under control and sporting a full Dolly Parton wig and outfit — and if you reported that you felt good about it — your therapist should pronounce you 100 percent awesome.
Your therapist's role is to help you to explore your motivations, actions and reactions, and help you face the consequences of your choices. It is appropriate for your therapist to ask you to reflect on why you are choosing to wear a wig, but not to judge its aesthetics — or to say that your own hair "wasn't that bad" — unless you specifically asked for her feedback (in which case you could expect her to be thoughtful, respectful and completely frank).
We all wear "masks for society." If you know that what's beneath your wig is acceptable and authentic but you prefer to wear it because you like the way you look and feel when you're wearing it, then I'd say you're making the right choice. I'll welcome reader reactions.
Dear Amy: I am a woman in her mid-40s who divorced five years ago. I have recently started dating for the first time in many years. What is the proper protocol for who pays the dinner bill on a first date with someone I've met through an online service like Match.com?
— Dating Again
Dear Dating: If you and your prospective date mutually agree to go out for a meal, you should split the check. If you invite someone to dinner and choose the restaurant, you should offer to pick up the check after the meal.
Online matching is great, and I highly recommend it as a good way to get out there and meet new people. But the preferable first date for someone you've never met in person is coffee or lunch, rather than an evening meal.
If you meet for coffee, you and your date don't have to invest the extensive time and expense that a dinner would require. A daytime date gives you both the opportunity for an in-person conversation, without the pressure of a dinner date and wrangling over the check.
Dear Amy: I used to think like "Of Sound Mind" when I was her age. At 17, she felt certain she would never want to have children.
I'm glad I didn't make any permanent choices at that age. Now I am 29, pregnant with our second child and very happy about it.
Please tell this young woman that I respect her for knowing what she wants right now, but that her dreams don't have to be sacrificed when you choose to start a family. There's plenty of room for both children and ambition.
— Working Mom
Dear Mom: "Of Sound Mind" might actually never change her mind about the decision to bear children, but I agree that as a teenager she isn't old enough to make a permanent, irreversible choice.

Love these MIM challenges. I do not have a huge stamp collection, so many of my cards are made using the same stamps. But sometimes I just get attached to certain stamps, and I really struggle to use new stamps. Maybe there's more to the psychosis than just the paper!
The Papertrey challenge this week is to make a sympathy card. Thought I'd try a new look, I stamped the bloom in Memento ink, colored it with Copics, then restamped it with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Paper: PTI C/S Stampers Select White, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush
Stamps: PTI In Bloom & Asian Fusion, Hero Arts Grid Pattern
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
Other: Copics, Stampendous White Embossing Powder, Unknown Pop-up Dots

I live part-time on Nantucket and part-time in Boston. I fly my own small plane, so I get back and forth pretty easily. I spent the weekend on Nantucket with some friends. I had hoped to get some surfing in, but the weather did not cooperate–there were no waves. Last night I played cards (hearts) with a group of friends on the island. I did not win–I tried to shoot the moon on the last hand and blew it.
So, I woke up on the island and had some meetings with some of our on-island people. We run a nonprofit organization called Juice Guys Care, which is headquartered on the island. This is an organization that has access to all Nantucket Nectars' assets and uses them to support social causes. JGC focuses mostly on underprivileged kids. I met with the head of the organization, Kate, and a guy who is going to create a video that raises awareness of some of the issues for the year-round residents of Nantucket. Nantucket is struggling with issues that surround the tremendous growth it has experienced over the past few years, from conservation to affordable housing. We are financing the video through Juice Guys Care. I drank a cup of coffee when the meeting began. Dumb idea. Caffeine makes me crazy. I was on edge for the rest of the day.
This afternoon I got into my plane with two friends to fly to Hyannis to play golf at Hyannisport Golf Club, one of my favorite courses. I rarely get to play there and I could not turn down the invitation this time, even though I was going to miss work, which always makes me feel guilty. My partner, Tom First, and I have been running our own business together for 14 years. We ran a painting company, delivered fish, started a boat service business, banged nails–you name it. But despite being my own boss, I can't get used to missing work on a workday.
Anyway, it was completely foggy. I am an instrument-rated pilot (I can fly on bad weather days), but flying in pea-soup fog always makes me nervous. You basically take off, lose all sight of everything, and the next thing you see is the runway lights at the next airport. Thanks to the amazing technology, we landed safely in Hyannis.
The coffee buzz still was not letting up. I lost my cell phone. Stress and guilt for playing golf on a school day was building. I began to remember why I hate playing hooky from work. I always call Tom First in this type of situation. I have to check in to make sure I'm not missing anything. So, I had to keep running back and forth to a pay phone to call him.
On about the 12th hole the downpour began. Cold, windy, spring-on-Cape Cod rain. Miserable.
After that it was back to the pay phone. I had hoped to fly back to Nantucket and get to work. I am able to work out of an office out there, which keeps me online with our other office in Boston. Well, lots of lightning, thunder, and hail kept that from happening. So I went over to a friend's house in the Hyannis area to use his computer.
For the rest of the afternoon, I was on the phone and sending e-mails. My e-mails range from consumer compliments and complaints to meeting requests to jokes to friendly stuff. A couple of people at work have a bet going as to whether our head of advertising can throw a baseball 100 yards. I had to get into the mix on that one. The coffee buzz was finally letting up. As I got into phone calls and e-mails, the stress began to ease.
The weather hasn't let up–looks like I'll be sleeping in Hyannis. I can't wait to get to work tomorrow. Today was crazy.

10.06.2013 - 12.06.2013
Brussels, Belgium
The Second Global Systems Science Conference took place on June 10–12th, 2013 in Brussels.
Organized by the Global Climate Forum on behalf of the steering committee of the EU project GSDP in cooperation with the EU projects EUNOIA, FOC, INSITE, MULTIPLEX, NESS, and the G3M project, funded by the German BMU.
Presentations and Pictures from the conference can be found both in the GSDP Workshop repository and in the GSS Blog:
The study of problems as diverse as global climate change and global financial crises is currently converging towards a new kind of research – Global Systems Science. GSS is emerging hand in hand with the substantial advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The use of computer models, digitized data, and global virtual networks are vital for GSS, in the same fashion that GSS can become a trigger for truly disruptive developments in policy-oriented and socially useful ICT.
The purpose of this conference is to discuss a possible research program for Global Systems Science and to further build up the community of practitioners from science, policy and civic society working on the pressing global challenges of our times.
This conference is conceived as a two day-event with a third day for interested sub-groups and workshops. It is embedded in an on-going conversation taking place in many settings, including www.global-systems-science.eu. The present program version may evolve further at the conference as a result of this conversation.
The conference is structured by plenary and break-out group sessions. It will develop from a format focused on plenary sessions on the first day towards break-out group targeted workshops on the third day. The second day will follow a hybrid format of plenary and break-out group sessions.
All participants are asked to actively contribute and participate in the different plenaries as well as the break-out group discussions. This second conference has attracted a significant number of remarkable researchers and practitioners from all over the world and therefore the opportunities for further networking and learning are unique. The event has been organized in a style that facilitates an open dialogue among all participants.
This event is part of a series of workshops carried out by the research network Global Systems Dynamics and Policy and follows the First Open Global Systems Science Conference carried out in November 2012. It also constitutes part of a series of open GSS conferences which shall continue in the years to come.
We are working on elaborating an ambitious research agenda driven by policy needs and developing and using ICT to meet policy and societal challenges in close consultation with policy makers and citizens.
For contributions during the conference please actively contribute to the GSS blog. In case you would like to post but do not yet have access just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note:
Registration is closed, since only a limited number of seats is available, registrations were handled on a first-come, first-serve basis.Participation is free of charge.Unfortunately we are not able to cover travel and accommodation for conference participants, unless expressly agreed.
In case of difficulties please contact: Dr. J. David Tàbara

Event Date:
Drawn entirely from the Museum's Collection, this exhibition focuses on the upper division course, The Arts of Spain and New Spain, taught by Deborah Spivak, Ph.D., History of Art and Architecture Department at UCSB. This course charts both the revolution of the arts in 16th and 17th century Spain and their influence and transformation in the visual culture of the New World. The works on view demonstrate the creative interaction of the European and indigenous traditions in the paintings and wood carvings that were produced in this rich artistic period. The objects in the exhibition span the 17th and 18th centuries in both Central and South America. Students in the course will be writing papers about the form, content, and affective properties of the objects on display.

Visit this special place for prayer to our Blessed Mother.
Our outdoor grotto, which was crumbling from the elements, was refurbished by anonymous donors and rededicated October 19, 2014.
The original was built in 1946 by the four Hoysic brothers in thanksgiving to Our Blessed Mother for answering their prayers for a safe return from WWII. At its dedication, they also asked for Gods blessings for the brave Charlotte men who gave their lives. The refurbished grotto includes a plaque that tells the story behind its original construction.
Votive Lights at Shrine in the Grotto
Votive lights are now available (to burn for a week) for your intentions or in honor/memory of a loved one. The offering is $10.00. Just call the office, 663-2244 to schedule the week you would like.
Our Shrine to St Anthony is located off Lake Avenue a bit, between the rectory and church, and in front of the parish offices.
Our Shrine to Mary Queen of Peace is located just to the south of the rectory, right on Lake Avenue and wrapped with columns.
Ashley's Garden is located outside, to the right of the entrance to our Early Childhood Center (south of the rectory) between the playground and the shrine to Mary Queen of Peace.
The Rev John Patrick O'Malley Memorial Playground is located south of the rectory between Holy Cross School and the Early Childhood Center.

TRENTON — For the first time this election season, all four candidates for the Democratic nomination in New Jersey's special U.S. Senate race took part in a debate.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, the frontrunner, had missed a debate and a candidates' forum before facing off Monday night against opponents Rush Holt, Sheila Oliver, and Frank Pallone in Montclair.
Meanwhile, Booker is maintaining a massive lead in fundraising.
The recent feud between Gov. Chris Christie and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky could serve as a preview of the 2016 Republican presidential primary — and an example of the growing divide within the GOP.
Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows that American voters like Christie best among the nation's major political figures, but GOP voters like seven other politicians better.
• A state appeals court has affirmed the an ethics panel's 2011 decision to clear state Assemblyman Scott Rumana (R-Passaic), who had been accused of an "appearance of impropriety."
• A group of advocates for the poor warned that nearly one million residents across New Jersey will face cuts in food stamps come November.
• Charities in New Jersey that solicit and accept donations earmarked for a specific purpose must return the money if they cannot or decide not to honor the donor's request, a state appeals court ruled.

NINE VIOLENT PROTESTERS Arrested in Madison, Wisconsin
Nine violent leftist protesters were arrested today at protests against budget cuts in Madison, Wisconsin.
The children are angry.
Several leftists blocked the door of a Wisconsin senator's office today.
Moments before a roll call began in the Assembly Thursday, reporters heard a crash outside the chamber. They rushed out and saw a man on the ground. Police officers were on top of him. They handcuffed him and led him away.
Channel 3000 reported:
Nine people have been arrested in the third day of widespread protests at the state Capitol.
The state Department of Administration estimated 20,000 people attended protests outside the state Capitol, while 5,000 protesters filled the rotunda and hallways.
Labor supporters and activists have been protesting Republican Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to strip most public employees of all collective bargaining rights, except for limited negotiations on salary. Walker has said the bill is necessary to close a budget shortfall of $137 million and a looming $3.6 billion deficit in the next two-year budget.
The arrests come after two days of incident-free rallies and demonstrations, as protesters have remained mostly peaceful. State officials did not immediately return calls asking for details on the nine arrests.
Police hand-cuffed one protester after he apparently tried to charge into the state Assembly.
Charlie Foxtrot has more on these selfish leftists.
And, Doug Ross has the top 15 photos from the Wisconsin hate rally.

I'm using jaws13 and developing websites. To be accessible, I'm thinking of adding landmarks on my page. Due to my site being long and complex, I wish to add not only existing but also custom landmarks. I've researched it and found negative results that I can't create my own landmark. At this point, is there any role, state or property acting as landmmarks to help me? Any help would be appreciated.Received on Sunday, 11 December 2011 13:46:44 UTC
