Temperatures have continued to be more fall-like than late summer, and we'll take it. Cool season turf should be growing well now, and there should be at least a few more weeks to get the most out of fall recovery. A steady, "London-fog"-esque pattern of drizzling rain over the weekend provided a nice source of moisture, and if you seeded cool-season turf last week you will probably be nicely rewarded. There still is potentially 1 or 2 more weeks to seed, but it should be done very soon.
Fall officially arrives in three days, which should turn our attention to
Octoberfest festivals the timing of our first frost. Over much of central MO, October 15th is the average date for the first frost, with a week plus or minus occurring in most other regions. One interesting aspect of the state is the impact of the topography of the Ozarks, which lowers the average frost date compared to central MO. Warm-season turf will definitively shut down at the first fall frost, and translocation of nutrients and fungicides will be effectively done. For fall prevention of warm season turf diseases (large patch and spring dead spot) with fungicides, it is important to apply the fungicide before this first shot of frosty air and complete onset of dormancy.
Therefore, for those attempting control with a single fall application, the best timing may be the first week of October. Those using two fall fungicide applications need to have one down now with a second application planned before the first fall frost. Five- day soil temperatures at 2" are currently in the mid to lower 60's in central MO (nearer to 70 for SW MO), which is the prime range for infection by the large patch and spring dead spot pathogens.
Unlike large patch, (discussed last week), spring dead spot is a soil-borne disease (which changes the game considerably). Patches of spring dead spot are uniform and can be fairly large, ranging from 2-8 feet in diameter. The pathogen infects roots, rhizomes, and stolons in the soil during the fall, restricting the plant's ability to store carbohydrates and undergo a normal winter dormancy. Without being properly put to bed in the winter, the bermudagrass never wakes up the following spring and effectively "winterkills".
The causal pathogen is the fungus Ophiosphaerella, of which several species can cause symptoms. In Missouri, it is thought that the main pathogen species is O. herpotricha, which is significant because it is regarded as more virulent than other species, and may react to nitrogen sources differently (see below). Spring dead spot can also be severe in Missouri because it is in the upper portion of the U.S. transition zone, with harsh winters and more opportunity for bermudagrass winterkill.
Cultural Practices
Drainage: Since spring dead spot is a root infecting disease, prolonged surface moisture does not dramatically increase disease severity as with large patch. Soil moisture is necessary for infection, so reducing prolonged wet conditions with drainage can reduce symptoms somewhat. For the most part, spring dead spot severity depends on the weather though, with wet fall seasons resulting in conducive infection periods and heavy outbreaks.
Fertilization: Don't fertilize with N now!!! Nitrogen fertilization should only occur when the turf is actively growing in late May, June, July or early August. Recent research suggests fertilizing with an acidifying nitrogen source such as ammonium sulfate may help reduce spring dead spot in the Midwest. Our major species, O. herpotricha, may be sensitive to lower soil pH (or may not just like an ammonium form of nitrogen) as compared to the other major species O. korrae, which is mostly found in the Southeast.
Aerification: Don't cultivate now!! Aerifying or any other form of cultivation in the fall and spring can enhance spring dead spot severity. Bermudagrass is currently "weak" and growing slowly during cooler temperatures. Major cultivation at this time will injure the plant and predispose it to infection, and help spread the pathogen. Conversely, thatch control methods in the summer may help promote a healthier turf stand and reduce the amount of organic material the pathogen can subsist on. At our turf farm, our perfect spring dead spot research plot is a 6 year-old stand of 'Riviera' that has not been aerified since establishment.
Chemical Control
In areas that have a severe history of spring dead spot, preventive fungicide applications in the fall may be necessary for maintenance. Chemical control of spring dead spot is inconsistent, however, and proper application methods and timing are of great importance. This may be due to a number of factors including soil type, the species of pathogen involved, improper timing or improper fungicide delivery.
Fungicides: DMIs: fenarimol (Rubigan**), myclobutanil (Eagle),
tebuconazole (Torque), propiconazole (Banner)
Fungicide notes: Combination products such as Headway (azoxystrobin + propiconazole) may also be effective.
** The most effective fungicide for spring dead spot control in evaluation trials has been Rubigan. Last week on Sept. 13, Gowan announced that production of this fungicide will be cancelled as of December 2012. This will leave a very large gap in control of this disease. Currently, research is underway in the Mizzou turf pathology program to investigate alternatives, such as cultural practices (nitrogen source, sulfur application) and fungicide alternatives. For more information on this important development follow this link: "What will we do when Rubigan is Rubi-Gone? - Lane Tredway, Turf Disease Updates for Golf Courses"
Frequency & Timing: At least two and maybe as many as four fall applications may be necessary for suppression of spring dead spot. Even with these applications, control can range greatly from 30-90%, and complete fungicide control should not be expected in the first year. Often two or three years of fungicide use are necessary before satisfactory control levels are reached.
Application Method: Because the pathogen is below the turf surface, fungicide applications targeted at spring dead spot must be watered-in with at least ¼" of irrigation or applied in high volumes of water (5 gallons/1000 sq ft). Failure to do so often results in unsatisfactory control.

Up for Grabs
Bulge Bracket Hungry for HFT Business in Wake of New SEC Market Access Rule
Story Utilities
Also in this article
High-frequency traders' order flow is being wooed by the largest firms on Wall Street like never before. It all started last November when the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new sponsored-access rule to rein in so-called "naked access," which regulators feared if left unchecked could cause a catastrophe similar to last year's "flash crash."
Under the SEC's new rule, high-frequency traders must submit their orders to risk checks before sending them into the market. Prior to the first part of the rule going into
effect last month, many HFTs paid brokers for direct access to the markets without compliance checks, a practice known as naked access.
The industry's biggest brokers largely shied away from this business because it was deemed too risky. They relinquished it to smaller, more aggressive firms that had less to lose from embarrassing mishaps. But now that every broker is required to run risk checks, the playing field has been leveled. And the bulge bracket wants in on the action.
"We always had pre-trade controls on our order flow," said John Goeller, managing director within global execution services at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "Clients that may have not been leveraging broker pre-trade controls are, to a certain extent, up for grabs, and we're not alone in competing for that space."
Gaining Position
BofA Merrill, Deutsche Bank, Citi, UBS, Barclays Capital and other major players are all positioning themselves as access providers to HFTs. The bulge bracket firms now view high-frequency traders as highly valued customers.
Providing sponsored access to HFTs is not new for the bulge, but in the past it has been difficult for them to compete with firms offering naked access. That's because the risk checks they required to prevent mistakes-like fat-fingered trades or duplicated orders-slowed down trades. Regardless of how little the risk checks delayed an order, any latency at all can wreak havoc on high-frequency strategies.
According to Jose Marques, global head of electronic equity trading for Deutsche Bank, it is impossible to beat naked access in terms of speed, though he said his firm has been able to get latency down to about a microsecond. He predicted that competition among the bulge brackets will remain stiff, in spite of the fact that sponsored access is a low-margin business.
Firms providing sponsored access are loath to reveal how much they charge for the service, in part because pricing can vary significantly between clients. One source suggested fees can be as low as 10 to 25 mils per share. Clients who also use an access provider as a prime broker might even be able to negotiate charges down further. In the grand scheme of things, such fees might not be considered significant to bulge bracket firms.

How many of the men still remember this day 44 years ago when we went for "a little walk" and got ambushed. I remember it being a very day for me and Ron Hoyos, and I am sure many of the men who also took part remember it as a terrible day as we lost a few good men that day... . It hard to beleive it has been 44 years already.. Where did the time go?

Which Europa to buy
A Project is what listers call a Europa which is cheap because it needs lots work to bring it up to driveable stats. A Project may start as a basket case.
A Basket case is Europa which is in bits and needs to be carried home in baskets before you can call it a project.
A Runner is a Europa which can be driven home under its own power and used straight away.
Concours condition is one which is so perfectly maintained and repaired that it can immediately enter contests with a chance of winning (these are a myth and don't really exist except for the purposes of comparison with a runner or project !)
Option 1) a basket case or project.
Option 2) a (good) runner
You really need to decide what you are going to use your Europa for: occasional use, daily driver or Autocross. If Autocross then it doesn't matter what you buy 'cos you're going to change/upgrade/rebuild everything unless you buy one of someone who already uses it for Autocrossing. If just for road use then buying a Europa which needs work will cost twice as much as you think and usually results in you spending a total in excess of 15K dollars by the time you have finished (option 1) - if you buy one which is not driveable it may even be years before you get it on the road. For 15k dollars you should be able to find a fully functioning Europa with no work to do (option 2) - but you have to wait for one to come around. That may take months but when you get it you can drive immediately. If you intend to use it as a daily driver then you need to buy the best fully working Europa you can find. For some people buying and rebuilding a project is the reason for getting a Europa. For others, driving is the reason. The "real" reason is personal, individual, and no two Europa owners have the same "real" reason.
So you make your choice depending on:
Most probably you will fall in love with a particular car and buy it regardless of logic. Try to drive as many as possible first. I (Julian) went for option 2 and bought a fully functioning Special at top price as my work and family didn't allow my to do option 1). I have great respect for those that go the other route (I did it that way 20 years ago with a Spitfire !).
S1/S2 versus Twin Cam
(The basic differences)
The S1
Had a bonded in chassis which is difficult to change, clip-in windows and high "sails". This model was sold in France, the USA and Canada. Renault 16TS based engine with Lotus mods and single down-draft Solex carb. 4-speed gearbox.
The S2
Looks the same as the S1 but had a separate chassis (easier to change) and electric windows (no space for a winder handle). Renault 16TS based engine with Lotus mods and single down-draft Solex carb (89 bhp depending on market). 4-speed gearbox.
The Twin Cam (known as Twink)
...sits 1,2" higher on the chassis, no "sails" at the back, uprated brakes (with Boosters), more leg room, more head room. Lotus-Ford Twin overhead cam engine with either; two double-core Zenith-Stromberg carbs in the US or two double-core Dellorto carbs in Europe (105 - 126 bhp depending on version/market). In Europe that Twin Cam Special (126 bhp) came with oversize inlet valves (known as Big-Valve). All US Twinks were Big-Valve (including Specials). 5-speed gearbox as option on Twinks (later standard). 5-speed gearbox standard on Specials.
Which is the one for you ?
The choice between S2 and Twink/Special seems to be a very personal thing. Some people prefer the Twink body. Some people want the extra power of the Twink engine. Some people prefer the S1/S2 "sails" and the lighter car.

World Cup-bound sides struggle to shine
BENGUELA - All five of Africa's World Cup-bound teams have made it through to the quarter-finals of the African Nations Cup but few with any aplomb.
Cameroon were the last of the quintet to qualify for the last eight, sneaking through on Thursday by the margin of one goal only after a close-run finish in Group D.
Four of the five - Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria - lost their opening game at the tournament and were forced to come from behind to finish among the top two in their respective groups.
Ivory Coast are the only one of the teams heading to the World Cup finals in South Africa later this year who have so far not been beaten at the tournament.
But they have played just two matches in Angola because of the withdrawal of Togo before the tournament started, being held to a goalless draw by Burkina Faso before beating Ghana.
Algeria qualified for the last eight on the back of just a single goal, scored by defender Rafik Halliche when they beat Mali in their second Group A match.
The north Africans started with a shock 3-0 loss to Malawi and qualified on the back of an unconvincing goalless draw with hosts Angola.
But Algeria, who will have England and the United States among their group opponents at the World Cup in June, insist they have overcome their stuttering start.
"The conditions have been difficult but we've kept working. We've been improving match-by-match," coach Rabah Saadane said after their qualification for the last eight.
Cameroon only made it by virtue of having scored one more goal than Gabon in a count-back after a three-way tie at the head of their group.
"The players must be commended for doing what was necessary to qualify," said coach Paul LeGuen after Cameroon twice came from behind on Thursday to draw 2-2 with Tunisia.
Ghana had to wait almost a week before they started their campaign, losing 3-1 to the Ivorians in Cabinda.
They then lost captain Michael Essien with a knee injury before sneaking through 1-0 over Burkina Faso in their last Group B game.
Nigeria were thoroughly outplayed by Egypt in their opening game but still finished second after next beating Benin and Mozambique.
Egypt, who are seeking an unprecedented third successive Nations Cup title, have overshadowed the World Cup-bound teams and will start the quarter-finals as favourites to retain their title.
Hosts Angola take on Ghana in the first quarter-final in Luanda on Sunday, followed by the meeting in Cabinda between the Ivorians and Algeria.
On Monday, Egypt take on Cameroon in Benguela and Zambia play Nigeria in Lubango.
The semi-finals will be played next Thursday with the final in Luanda on January 31.

ok, now onto the rest....here's my madeline. the little spacey, bunny-loving, adorable princess girl that she is. this is her smile of choice recently. she looks like a complete cheeseball but she's actually for real. she could pose like this all day. in fact, whenever you catch her glance and give her a smile she'll stop what she's doing and give you one of these- head cocked and all. it's really quite endearing. which is good, because she's also an ornery little one who has been banned from ALL scissor use until further notice.
And THIS one... goodness, he's giving his mommy a run for her money. We laughed all day at our cranky little valentine as he wore his new shirt from Grandma... written on the front is "What's not to love??" Seriously. a kicking, whining, candy-stealing, screaming ball of fun....what's NOT to love about that?! ;)

The use of business intelligence has the power to radically transform the way that modern businesses operate.
Indeed, capture and analysis of customer data can inform many aspects of business strategy, from decisions about pricing to the type of products to offer at certain times of the year. As a technical exercise, it's relatively easy to do, with abundant processing power and easy-to-use applications making it simple for more and more people to encorporate this information into their daily work. The real challenge presents itself when trying to adjust the mindsets of individuals steeped in the framework of traditional work practices.
Our European-based research has shown that a drive towards business intelligence utilisation can start with a small group of enthusiasts who subsequently become a community of practice within an organisation. As a result of their active promotion of business intelligence, the mindset of such individuals can ultimately permeate an entire organisation. Of course, this type of change can be hard to achieve, with proponents first needing to demonstrate the clear benefits and advantages of data analytics. Moreover, they need to convince colleagues of the need to modify their existing processes.
In the instance of a European retail organisation we examined in our study (view it at http://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2012/28/), some of the early lessons imparted did indeed lead to small-scale innovations in regards to certain product lines and processes. This was enough to ensure that an appreciation of business intelligence filtered through to all levels of the organisation. Eventually, these practices received the support of the CEO, ensuring that a business intelligence mindset quickly influenced all aspects of organisational strategy making.
The key message is that organisations should notice communities of practice that spring up within their midst and acknowledge the potential creative power of business intelligence ideas. These ideas may be divergent, but there's a strong possibility they could be used to develop a powerful competitive advantage.

Day Trip to Segovia
Day Trip to Segovia
So I was staying in Madrid for 4 days and I thought that would be more than enough time to see the sights there, so, looking through my Rough Guide to Spain I saw a couple of options of places that could be visited on a day trip. I chose a day trip to Segovia as this seemed to be a very picturesque place to visit and reasonably easy and not too expensive to get to.
There are a couple of ways that you can get to Segovia from Madrid, assuming that you don't already have a car at your disposal. I looked at either taking the train or the bus. It seemed that the train station in Segovia was a bit out of the city and you would need to get another bus to actually get into the centre, whereas the bus from Madrid stops not far from the main tourist area, so I decided to take that.
The bus runs every 45 minutes from the Bus Terminal at Principe Pio and take about 1 hour 15 minutes to get there. You can get the metro there and the bus station is down one level from the street. The buses are very modern and comfortable. You can buy your tickets from a machine in the bus terminal or from the kiosk. One point if you buy from the kiosk is to make sure you check your change. The lady short changed my by 5 Euros and I had a feeling it was deliberate as she didn't blink twice when I realised and went back for my money.
Also, you need to have a ticket for the actual bus that you are getting on, so make sure you know which one you are going to take if you get your tickets in advance. A return fare is just under 15 Euros. You specify the bus that you are taking out of Madrid and you will be given a return ticket - but when you come back you need to exchange the return part for a ticket for the specific return bus before they will let you on. Do this before you queue up to get on the bus!
The Aqueduct
The most popular tourist attraction in Segovia is the aqueduct. It is purported to be nearly 2000 years old as it was thought to have been built in the first century AD. To see it in the flesh it is truly amazing. It is hard to understand how it could have actually stayed up for so long as it is not held together by any kind of cement apparently.
Even when you look at it now and you see some pieces missing you think it might fall down at any point! It is a stunning piece of engineering/architecture. It did used to carry water from one part of the city to another but of course it no longer does so.
Tip: there is an information centre just under the aqueduct which has toilets that you can use for 20 cents. They are very clean and also have disabled facilities. They are also very helpful in the information centre and will provide you with maps etc and details of where else to visit.
Other Attractions in Segovia
There are plenty of ways to pass a day in Segovia. The city is beautiful and in addition to many old houses there are quite a few stunning sandstone coloured churches, many dating back to the 13th or 14th centuries. Some are open to go in and look and to take a minute to reflect.
There are parts of the old city walls still remaining and also lots of small and large plazas where you can sit and watch the world go by or have lunch or a drink. There are also I would have to say hundreds of cafes and restaurants, some housed in ancient historic buildings.
Another place to visit is the cathedral with its old tapestries and lovely courtyard and well. It is only 3 euros to visit and worth a stop off.
You could also go to the Alcazar which is a Disney like castle at the top of the hill. Unfortunately on the day I visited it was closed so I couldn't go inside ut to be honest I was a little disappointed with the outside as it looked a bit too modern, having been rebuilt in the 19th century.
A Lovely Day Trip
Altogether I would really recommend this day trip, particularly when the weather is good (it was a perfect 26 degrees with clear blue sky when I visited!). You don't need a massive amount of time, you can see most of it in 3-4 hours, or you can take a more leisurely pace and spend the whole day.
Buses run all day until late although the direct bus back does not go as frequently as the way there, but you are pretty flexible with your timings.

People are often heavily concerned with the appearance of their teeth and smile throughout their lives. This is often an aesthetic focus that requires a tremendous amount of diligence on the part of their consumer which can often include the need to seek out medical attention at various points in time. Anyone dealing with this concern should know how a Brooklyn dentist is able to offer affordable guidance.
Dental care professionals are equipped with the training and equipment to guide consumers through their oral health and hygiene needs. People often focus on these professionals when attempting to ensure that health risks are avoided and their teeth are able to appear as white and straightened as possible. Deciding to use this type of professional is usually associated with a large amount of caution.
People of Brooklyn who are focused on this effort have a significant number of professionals to choose from. Many consumers are not too certain of whether this kind of professional is even appropriate for their needs or not. Learning how this particular doctor is able to offer guidance helps anyone make an informed decision in the end.

Dental insurance carriers require their policy holders to use specific professionals that are part of their network.

The haunting images that make up today's Google doodle are a tribute to Japanese artist Eiko Ishioka on what would have been her 79th birthday.
Recognized for her work creating Oscar-winning costume designs for movies like 1992's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" — or the costumes and set designs she created for Broadway's "M. Butterfly" that earned her a multiple Tony nominations — Ishioka began her career as a graphic designer.
From the Google Doodle Blog:
Born and raised in Tokyo, Ishioka pursued a career in graphic design at a time when there were few women in the industry. Despite the challenges she faced, Ishioka pushed through boundaries both socially and artistically. Her early print ads evoked many of the same themes that would later define her costume design: bold, surreal, and consistently unexpected.
Today's doodle leads to a search for "Eiko Ishioka" and includes a slideshow with the following five images highlighting her work:
Google calls Ishioka iconic, and her artistry revolutionary.
The post Eiko Ishioka Google doodle pays homage to the Japanese artist & costume designer appeared first on Search Engine Land.

Hi! I'm Judy Winans. And I am 5 months into living an Alcohol Free life. And although that may not seem like a long time to some, for me it feels like a lifetime. Because I never thought I could do it. So I want to share with you a bit about the day that I decided it was time.
It was a Thursday, and I was on my way home from another alcohol fueled lunch. I drank probably close to a bottle of wine, and I can't remember, but there may have been a tequila shot or two thrown in. I had told myself that I would go home and take a quick nap before I set out to accomplish the other things I was supposed to get done that day. And of course, yet again, I knew I was not going to be productive. I knew I was going to go home and take a "quick nap". And then that nap would extend into the evening, and then I would just say "screw it". I will get all of my "stuff" done tomorrow. And as I was driving home that day, under the influence mind you, something clicked in my head and I said "I'm done. I can't do this another day. I'm tired. I'm messed up. I'm confused. I feel, and look, like crap". My skin was horrible. My face was red. I always had pimples on my nose, and my forehead was perpetually broken out, with dry flakes of skin-which I blamed on the fact that I have bangs. I was bloated. I had digestive issues. I was starting to really get worried about my health. I also couldn't stand the taste I would get in my mouth that wouldn't go away-even after I brushed my teeth. And if it was especially bad the next day-that's how I knew I had really over indulged.

I mean cards (thank god for nerfs). With new players joining the game, I wanted to see the game from a beginner's perspective. Are new players just too far behind in the card acquisition race or do new players have a chance on the ladder?

"Where have you been?" demanded Alma as I stepped out of the car.
"Is something wrong? We just stopped to watch some fireworks that started on the way back." I replied. They had been beautiful, and I was guessing Aaliyah was behind them, given how perfectly timed they were.
"I tried texting you. I tried calling you. Mila would only tell me that you were on your date." stated Alma.
I could feel the energies of her magic in use, so I asked her "Why are you so upset? You knew about the date."
"Why didn't you answer your phone?" she demanded.
Mila stepped in front of me and calmly said, "He never received any messages. I intercepted them as well as the call. We were on a date. You were trying to interrupt it."
"You had no right. This is important, Mila!" exclaimed Alma, her voice raising.
"What is?" I asked, wishing someone would inform me what had happened.
Neither of them responded, too caught up in their quarrel, but my phone started buzzing in my pocket. Alma's messages were arriving now. The first two said nothing other than Alma wanted me home immediately. The next few said to call her the moment I was free. I froze in place staring at the last message: "James, I found him. Please call me."
"Wait. If you've found him, why didn't you capture him… or… what you normally do?" I asked.
Alma turned to glare at me before saying, "Someone didn't want me to deal with his tenants without first proving their guilt."
"Oh. I do appreciate you sticking to our agreement, but I think I would've forgiven you in this case." I assured her.
She didn't look amused as she said, "Mila, mind gathering everyone? This'll be a good training exercise."
"What!? He's dangerous, Alma. I don't want anyone getting hurt." I told her, remembering what the man did at the amusement park.
"I know, which is why this will be good training. You have very skilled employees, James, but they need some actual experience in these matters if they are to be properly prepared to defend themselves." she stated.
"You already admitted that the man must be very skilled with magic, so none of them are prepared to face him. I doubt I'm prepared to face him." I argued.
"Since your… change, I haven't landed a single spell directly against you. You'll be fine. As for the others, I'm not planning on having them fight him. They'll be taking care of his creations if any are in the area." she replied.
"And what if he escapes us?" I asked.
Alma laughed, saying, "Really? You think someone could so easily run from us?"
Alma did have a point. Excluding Aaliyah, I couldn't think of anyone near as fast as us, but I still felt taking the others was risky.
Instead of stating my fears, I asked "How did you manage to find the man? Well, assuming he is a man. After seeing your text, I… well…"
"Yes, he's a man. Surprisingly, he even looks old. I was expecting something more deceptive." she admitted.
"Since Lady Pendreigh promised not to tell you, I'll…" started Mila before Alma covered her mouth.
Mila's voice was suddenly coming out of the phone in my hand, saying "have to inform you that she asked Portentia to patrol your hotels."
"What? Why would you put her in danger?" I asked, before remembering what I've seen of Portentia getting injured. She healed instantaneously.
"I needed the man to slip up. When I finally realized I could force him to make a mistake, I couldn't think of a reason not to utilize Portentia's misfortune. If you could convince Portentia to switch jobs for me, I'd quite happily employ her and pay her handsomely." she told me. After a moment's pause, she added "Oh. I will pay you for the damages incurred to your hotels."
"Damages? What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing major. People slipped up an inordinate amount is all. There were a few minor injuries, a broken table, and a number of broken dishes that I'm aware of." she replied.
"I've already billed her for the total damages, master." stated Mila.
All too casually, Alma then informed me "You get to inform Portentia that she's not coming with us, by the way."
I stared at her, wondering why she hadn't mentioned this sooner. I could've had Portentia off on a job. Frowning, I wondered how Portentia kept repeat clients with the number of mishaps that happened around her. The clients certainly wouldn't know the mishaps were a result of Portentia's presence, but they probably had a disagreeable time due to them.
"What? She's your employee, and I cannot guarantee everyone's safety if Portentia's around. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if a building collapsed with Portentia there." she claimed. Then, more to herself, she said, "I still wish I understood what makes her safe here."
"Regina." I told her.
"What? What do you mean?" asked Alma, looking slightly worried.
"Regina's magic keeps my estate from misfortune." I informed her.
Alma stared at me incredulously. Then her look softened to one of wonder as she said, "I had no idea the girl could perform such a feat. She really was remarkable."
I nodded. Alma was probably assuming Regina had made some sort of enchantment over my estate, which was fine. I shouldn't have said anything. As I thought of Regina's ghost, my unease grew. Alma had been pulling the strings when Regina died. Had she been there, my friend would still be alive. If I let this happen, were more of my friends going to die?
Against the werelions, we had assumed there would be only one to fight. Completely caught off-guard, we fought with all we had and still would have died if not for the intervention of Death herself. Now we were assuming there would just be one man and his terrible creations, but did we really know enough to face him?
"He's on the move." stated Mila.
"We need to move. Most of them have gathered at least. Can you track him, Mila?" asked Alma
"The princess is allowing me the use of one of her satellites, so I should be able to follow him, assuming he doesn't disguise himself while under cover." she replied.
Alma nodded and said, "Forget briefing inside then. We'll brief everyone on the way. Mind pulling the… Ah. Thank you. Please announce that we'll be leaving in one minute."
I heard the limo before I saw it turn the bend toward us.
"Master, should I bring the DB5 as well? I don't have adequate weaponry in the limousine." stated Mila.
"Yes, please." I told her. Seeing Alma looking at me curiously, I said, "I'm sure the twins have told you about the firepower in my car. Might as well have her along just in case."
"You're adorable." she replied with a smile.
Some of the others were on their way out to us. I frowned, seeing Jarod smiling and laughing with Ai and Mai. He had no magic. He didn't even have either of his suits ready. I knew he could fight very well, but he couldn't exactly punch a zombie, not when some of them were capable of exploding.
"James, relax. I'm just here to watch and maybe ask Mila to fire a few rounds off from the DB5." claimed Jarod as if he had read my mind.
"We'll take care of him." stated Ai.
"We might not be a match for you anymore, but we've still got far more experience." added Mai.
"What's happening?" asked Cosette.
Cosette wasn't trained nearly well enough to be coming along yet, despite being a vampire.
"Perhaps you should stay here. We're going to be getting into a fight." I told her.
"Let her watch with Jarod. She needs to see more of what her family does." suggested Alma.
"I already told you that I'm not interested." stated Cosette.
"You might live over a thousand years, so you have plenty of time to change your mind." replied Alma.
"You're free to come if you want. Just be careful." I told her.
"What's happening, boss?" asked Brandon
I was about to reply when Portentia stepped out behind him, fully dressed in her uniform with Midnight in hand. I knew Alma's reasoning on why not to bring Portentia was sound, but I was certain telling her to stay behind would crush her, not that she was likely to pay heed. She didn't believe in luck, despite affecting it greatly. She believed in saving people, and would surely try to follow us. Furthermore, she might actually be of help, given her weapon and ability to regenerate. I really hoped I knew what I was doing.

LONDON — When the Grosvenor House Art & Antiques Fair closed for good in 2009, ending a run of 75 years, it left a gaping hole in London's cultural calendar. But nature abhors a vacuum and within a year a group of Grosvenor House veterans created Masterpiece London to fill the gap.
This year's second edition of the Masterpiece London fair opens on June 30 on the grounds of the Chelsea Royal Hospital for military pensioners — London's 17th-century equivalent of the Invalides in Paris — and will run for six days.
Thomas Woodham-Smith, a founding partner of the fair, said the organizers had aimed to broaden the original antique fair's formula to include exhibitors from across the arts, antiques and contemporary design worlds, while adding some more transient pleasures to the mix. These include catering by Urban Caprice, the company that owns the venerable Le Caprice restaurant in central London; and drinks by Harry's Bar, a revered name among watering holes for the rich and famous.
"We have a focus on sybaritic pleasures," Mr. Woodham-Smith said.
Among the more sybaritic, but less transient pleasures on offer at this year's fair will be some exceptional jewelry. Of the 150 companies bringing their finest wares to the event, 15 are jewelry specialists who have vowed to make up in quality what they may lack in volume.
"We're trying to showcase the very best of each genre," said Sophie Jackson, a jewelry expert at Symbolic & Chase, a five-year-old Bond Street dealer specializing in collectible jewelry and watches from the late 19th century to the present day.Continue reading the main story
Miss Jackson said a big draw would be the firm's collection of pieces by René Boivin, the French jeweler whose iconoclastic style — evident in a ruby, emerald and diamond "feuille" leaf brooch, circa 1937, available for $160,000 — helped set the tone for designers of the 20th century.
A handful of prestigious English dealers, known for their period jewels and antique silver, will ensure the fair offers a top-quality selection of 20th-century masters.
Stephen Burton, managing director of Hancocks, said that one of the highlights of the 200 or so pieces he intended to show would be a superb 1928 Cartier Art Deco bracelet in the "Tutti Frutti" style, designed as a foliate strap of carved ruby and sapphire leaves set amidst emerald and onyx beads. It will be priced at about $2 million.
For visitors in search of contemporary styles, the fair's exhibitors will include Theo Fennell, a British society jeweler with a penchant for jawbreaker-sized gemstone cocktail rings. Also represented will the American-born, Paris-based Joel Arthur Rosenthal, otherwise known as JAR, a legend among modern-day jewelers.
Although Mr. Rosenthal will be showing only his scent and some aluminum jewelry, his presence lends the event considerable clout.
So, too, does the return of the New York-based Verdura jewelry house, created and led by the Sicilian playboy and fabled jeweler Duke Fulco di Verdura between 1930 and 1973, and last seen at the Grosvenor House fair seven years ago.
Ward Landrigan, the former Sotheby's jewelry expert who purchased the company in 1985, said he would be bringing approximately 150 pieces to the fair, mixing new designs with some vintage Verdura masterpieces and a number of pieces that fuse vintage and modern elements. These will include a $44,500 black jade cuff decorated with an original Verdura rose gold and diamond crisscross motif.
For the pleasure of collectors, Landrigan said he would also be bringing "some historic pieces, just for flavor."
Among 15 jewels that Verdura will showcase from its permanent Museum Collection, a company-owned historical archive, will be a pair of Maltese Cross cuffs originally designed for Coco Chanel. For jewelry connoisseurs, these pieces are elusive totems of 20th century history.
"The original cuffs are almost impossible to find," said Elizabeth Anne Bonanno, a jewelry consultant in New York. "They are the holy grail. I don't know anyone other than Verdura who has them."Continue reading the main story

text: I was recently put in charge of grocery shopping and was given a list of things to purchase. As most of you know I am very capable of following a list. But as you also know I have a tendency to make a few impulsive purchases and that is where this story begins. I saw in the refrigerator section of the grocery store a product I had never seen before and decided that it was worth trying out. So I bought one of said item. Now I know the suspense is killing you, so what was this item? It was beans and corn packaged like yogurt with a topping package. It also had a very alluring name, Chulpi Chocho. The beans were fresh and the corn was roasted almost to corn nut status and salted. The combination actually worked well and apparently it is rather healthy for you. It holds three servings, which if you eat the whole thing like I did, provides 50% of your protein dietary needs for the day. Don't ask me about the sodium intake. Below are the pictures of this interesting meal. I however forgot to take a picture of the foldable spoon that came with it.

Lara Loves… Greens and Blues
Posted on April 01 2016
This image (taken on the streets in Paris by Scott Schuman) popped up on the Sartorialist instagram feed this week and I had an instant response to the wonderful rich hues of green and blue being worn together - two colours that feature on the Hudson racks this season thanks to Italian label Ottod' Ame and Danish label Gestuz. I wanted to put together some looks in the shop using these colours as inspiration. I couldn't help but throw in that fantastic Ioanna Kourbela wrap in Angel Falls blue. So cool playing with the contrasting textures of leather, wool and silk.
