Florida community associations are big businesses, with annual budgets for larger projects running into the tens of millions of dollars. At its inception to the point of transition to owner control (which usually is at least a couple of years), each association is operated by a board of directors appointed by the developer. During this "pre-transition" period, these developer-appointed directors are running the business of the association (collecting revenue, expending money, contracting for services, performing maintenance, establishing or waiving reserves, etc.). From the point each new owner closes on their unit or parcel, each is a shareholder and contributing member in the association.
Construction Warranty Rights for Unit Owners in Florida Condominium Conversions
Unit owners in Florida condominiums converted from preexisting apartment buildings have inferior rights and remedies to recover for construction defects as compared to the rights and remedies available to unit owners in new Florida condominiums. Unit owners in new condominiums have statutory warranty protection under F.S. 718.203 which extends from the developer, general contractor, subcontractor and suppliers and covers to some extent all improvements and systems interior and exterior.
Finally...Automatic Class Action Standing for Florida Homeowner Associations
Until 2008, Florida condominium associations had a distinct advantage over Florida homeowner associations as far as pursuing construction defect and financial claims on a class action basis. Basically, Florida condominium associations by court rule since 1977 had automatic standing to represent their owners as a class on matters of common interest. Florida homeowner associations, on the other hand, had no standing to represent their members as a class. Members of homeowner associations were relegated to bringing a traditional class action with individual members acting as class representatives on behalf of the members. The procedure for attaining class action status in a homeowner association context was cumbersome and time consuming.
AIA Owner/Architect and Owner/General Contract Forms - Beware of Arbitration Glitch
AIA contract forms are popular for major community association repair contracts. Unfortunately, the AIA (American Institute of Architects), presumably to shield architects from liability, long ago created an arbitration glitch in instances where the Owner/Architect and Owner/General Contractor Contract forms are being utilized for a given project. The glitch is that the Owner/Architect form prohibits the architect (absent the architect's agreement) from being joined in an arbitration proceeding between the owner and general contractor.
Proving What Was On Major Rehab Projects
Every remedial project has the potential of causing damage to building components and personal property. It is typical to charge back the contractor for such damage. Remedial projects requiring work on both the common elements and unit interiors present special challenges in documenting such damage. Balcony slab rehab work on a hi-rise where the slab deterioration extends into the unit is a classic example. In order to complete the job, sliders may have to be removed, carpets or tile pulled up, draperies and window coverings removed and furniture moved. At the end of the job, all this needs to be replaced or reinstalled.

Popular American founder of the international adult magazine Playboy, Hugh Hefner, has died at the age of 91, his company said late Wednesday.
Playboy magazine disclosed last night that Hefner died from natural causes "surrounded by loved ones" at his Playboy Mansion home in Beverly Hills.
He is survived by his 31-year-old wife, Crystal, and four grown children, Playboy said.
The silk-robed Casanova whose Playboy men's magazine popularized the term "centerfold," had glamorized an urbane bachelor lifestyle and helped spur the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
He founded Playboy in 1953 with $600 of his own money and built the magazine into a multimillion-dollar entertainment empire that at its 1970s peak included TV shows, a jazz festival and a string of Playboy Clubs whose cocktail waitresses wore bunny ears and cottontails.
Hefner faced obscenity charges in 1963 for publishing and distributing Playboy, but the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
He had once claimed to have slept with more than 1,000 women, and credited the impotence drug Viagra with maintaining his libido.
"I am a kid in a candy store," Hefner famously said. "I dreamed impossible dreams, and the dreams turned out beyond anything I could possibly imagine. I'm the luckiest cat on the planet."

Product Description
The seven stories that compose Regrowth (Vidervuks) might shock readers familiar with accounts of the Holocaust marked by mournful and sentimental overtones. Although the outcome is often terrible, Der Nister's characters refuse to accept the role of victim. Likewise, the monstrosity of the perpetrators is not at issue: the Nazis may be abominable, but they do not warrant attention for longer than a savage animal would. Der Nister is drawn to parties capable of moral decision?and their dilemmas often feature an opponent that is inside one's own people, inside oneself. ?Flora,? for example, follows a father and daughter through the Nazi invasion and later Soviet occupation of a Polish-Jewish city.
Der Nister paints a sympathetic portrait of the father, a member of the Jewish Council, even though he collaborates with the Nazis in a misguided attempt to help his people. To repair the father's mistake, his daughter joins the resistance, seduces a traitor, and delivers him to his death. Accounts are settled within the Jewish community. The Nazi enemy is largely passed over in the silence his infamy deserves. Der Nister's characters are crafty, and they do not hesitate to use force when necessary. After the defeat of the Nazis and Soviet takeover, Der Nister suggests, the maneuvering will continue. The morally complex characters and richly layered stories of Regrowth ultimately reclaim a more nuanced view of crimes still not fully reckoned.

Hello Everyone! I have a very special guest stopping by Indiewritersreview today, the distinguished Mohana, who has penned several exceptional works including the Colored and Other Stories, which will be reviewed today.
I was captured by the title of this collection of stories. Colored and Other Stories, a title to hold attention. I was curious in what angle the stories would be told, what message given… sent with the hope it will be grasped by the readers.I wondered would it be history? A retelling of lives lived?
Well, I stopped questioning and I opened the book. I fell into the world of the various peoples that were affected individually by the outside world for the color of their skin, their traditions as well as from their own culture.
Ranging from Dashi, a prisoner of her own society's tradition to Ganesh, judged for the color of his skin, except by the one who sacrificed herself, regardless of the fact that she was the color of those who caused the torment…she helped Ganesh, because she saw more in him.
The stories were told with a lyrical quality, that did not stay focused on the negatives, but showed the hope, that was to be found by the characters in their individual stories, and the love given to them by those that surrounded them.
The stories, touched my own emotions that ranged from tears to anger and then finally joy.
These are stories that are important, that can open eyes, give understanding, if the reader is open to receive. Even today, the messages in the stories are relevant…I recommend this book to all ages, because all can find a gem that will give understanding in relating to one another…not just on the subject of race, but just as human beings.
Author Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar.

Mohanalakshmi Rajakumar
Stories are about context so where you are, whether age, historically speaking or geographically shapes what I'm writing. I'm interested in different things now than I was in my teens, or even twenties. These shifting interests take shape in characters, plot, setting and theme.
Coloured and Other Stories is made up of stories I wrote while a graduate student in 2002. It took nearly ten years and the advent of ebooks to be able to bring these stories directly to readers. The stories in this collection are a kind of coming of age of the ruminations I was contemplating in my twenties. What's it like being the ant in the ice cream? The characters in this short story collection will show you; experience life as they know it as transplants from across the world into American suburbia.
Adapted from real life anecdotes both mine and those of others, I go deep into the world of the South Asian immigrant living the American Dream. Think of me as a cultural translator for those who you may not notice otherwise, living in the margins of our cities.
"The sight of his feet, white, broad toes, and clean, short-clipped nails startled her. Americans normally wore their shoes everywhere; they had special shoes to wear inside their houses, shoes specifically for their bedrooms."
I've got four others books published as well, including this short story collection; a novel, and writer's guide, as well as a momior. Check out my Facebook page and see which one suits you.

Comments: They showed up on time to install my patio door and worked diligently until finished. They even spackled the tiny holes left from finish nails in the molding and removed any stickers. The project was handled professionally and they were pleasant people to be around. They did a lot of final touches to make my window look super. I've already hired them for another job.

text: Anti-Zionism Does Not Equal Anti-Semitism 0 Zionism 10:29 AM A+ A- Print Email The presence of Anti-Semitism on college campuses was vehemently debated at a congressional hearing last week to examine the viability of the proposed "Anti-Semitism Awareness Act" – conceived to formally identify the language used in such an act, and to aid in the investigating of alleged civil rights violations. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) acknowledged "widespread bipartisan condemnation of anti-Semitism," but expressed that the way in which it "changes over time and presents itself in different forms over time would counsel against codifying any particular definition of anti-Semitism." Such talk from the powerful congressman indicates the bill – unanimously passed by the Senate but yet to receive a vote in the House – faces a rough road to enactment, and rightfully so.Speaking at Goodlatte's behest, professor Barry Trachtenberg, Director of Jewish Studies at Wake Forest University, said it was "a factual distortion to characterize campuses in the United States as hotbeds of new anti-Semitism," and that "creating a 'special status' for speech concerning Jews and Israel would only reaffirm otherwise anti-Semitic claims that Jews are exceptional and therefore need to have a special category of laws that apply only to them." True Torah Jews is opposed to the passage of the "Anti-Semitism Awareness Act" because it mistakenly enmeshes and obscures the two separate and distinct concepts of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Jews adhere to no single nationality, race, or culture. They come in all colors and hues, and hail from every place on earth. What they do share is a common religion. And, while the Zionists want to change that, TTJ wishes to disassociate from the anti-Semitic characterization of Jews as a separate national entity. We believe rhetoric on Israel should never be deemed 'pro or anti Jewish' as we have absolutely no connection to the State of Israel.It is crucial to note that Jews are patriotic American citizens who practice the religion of Judaism, and that there are, generally, two types of people who conflate Judaism with Zionism: Zionists who try to legitimize Zionism, or anti-Semites who try delegitimizing Judaism. "Zionism and Zionistic activities not only depress Judaism by putting nationality first and religion second, but they injure Judaism by combining religion and nationality," wrote Anglo-Jewish British leader Claude Montefiore.Alexander Hamilton, vice president of the Anglo Jewish Society, concurred: "Emancipated Jews in this country regard themselves primarily as a religious community…They hold Judaism to be a religious system, with which their political status has no concern, and they maintain that, as citizens of the countries in which they live, they are fully and sincerely identified with the national spirit and interests of those countries. It follows that the establishment of a Jewish nationality in Palestine, founded on this theory of Jewish homelessness, must have the effect throughout the world of stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands."Source: http://www.truetorahjews.org/anti-zionism-does-not-equal-anti-semitism Get Widget Share to:

Is it harder to become aroused or orgasm?
Despite the alarming numbers of women suffering from sexual dysfunction, only 14% of women ever discuss their sexual issues with their physicians.
Why the reluctance to talk about it?
It can be uncomfortable to bring up, and besides that, proven treatment options that restore sexual pleasure and performance are slim. Hormonal replacement therapy like testosterone and estrogen creams can provide some relief, but if it is not enough or you are longing for enhanced experience and enjoyment – there is a solution!
O-Shot® Treatment
A Breakthrough for Women Suffering from Sexual Dysfunction
For a long time, physicians have searched for a solution to provide relief for women suffering from sexual dysfunction. The goal is to find a long-term treatment to improve the experience, boost pleasure, and repair the lack or decrease in orgasm.
After years of extensive research, the O-Shot Treatment or O-Rejuvenation Treatment are just that solution!
The practitioners at Tampa Rejuvenation utilize Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy to rejuvenate the vagina and surrounding areas by restoring sexual pleasure without surgery or downtime.
How Does the O-Shot Treatment Work?
Biopsy studies reveal that when PRP is injected into a patient's body, the patients concentrated growth factors respond by multiplying quickly and growing new tissue. Similarly, PRP therapy regenerates healthy connective and vaginal tissue, restoring tissues strength and thickness to boost pleasure and comfort.
Rejuvenating the collagen cells and elastin fibers will increase the thickness of the skin, alleviating discomfort and tightening the vaginal walls. Mucosal cells will also be rejuvenated allowing for improved lubrication, sensitivity, and restored arousal. Increased nerve sensitivity will bring an improved enjoyment to the sexual pleasures thus enhancing orgasm frequency and strength.
Increased nerve sensitivity will bring an improved enjoyment to the sexual pleasures thus enhancing orgasm frequency and strength. vascularization.
The Procedure
The O-Shot procedure is performed by the practitioner, beginning with the patient's blood being drawn and then spun to extract the PRP full of concentrated growth factors. The area is also numbed so that the patient does not experience any discomfort.
PRP is then injected into the upper vaginal area and the clitoris, stimulating the growth of collagen fibers, mucosal cells, and nerve endings. The O-Shot is a relatively painless, non-invasive procedure with beneficial effects lasting up to a year or longer. Improvement from the O-Shot can be observed shortly following the procedure and will be enjoyed long after it's over!
You can say goodbye to messy creams and partners shared frustration, and hello to a new and improved sex life! Call Tampa Rejuvenation today to get more information and to schedule an appointment at any of our 6 conveniently located Bay Area locations – North Tampa, South Tampa, Brandon, Westchase / Oldsmar, St. Petersburg and Lakewood Ranch!

Bo'ness residents were left baffled on Christmas Day when a mystery object appeared to land on the foreshore.
Police Scotland's Forth Valley division received a report from a local caller around noon that a parachutist or microlight pilot had landed on the shoreline.
The caller had been concerned that a pilot had run into difficulty and crashed in the area.
Taking to Facebook to appeal for information about the incident, police later stated that they had not received any emergency calls but were devoting resources to establishing whether a crash had, in fact, taken place.
A spokesman for the force said at the time that this included speaking to personnel at local airports.
Several members of the public responded to the query, claiming to have seen the microlight flying over Bo'ness, Skinflats, Grangemouth and Linlithgow.
Others took a less serious approach, with one social media wag commenting "you sure it wasn't Santa?"
Concern and speculation turned out to be unfounded however, when the police posted at 10.51pm on Christmas Day: "Thank you for the response people.
''It appears this was a false alarm and the microlight pilot was not in any kind of difficulty."

The Staunton-Parkersburg Scenic Byway will certainly present excellent region-wide economic development opportunities in all counties where the road passes. . Its impact will also be felt in adjoining counties, especially if regional efforts and heritage areas that include the Byway counties, take advantage of opportunities to link their attractions to it, and cross promote.
Future development and reciprocal promotion of the portion of the Turnpike that runs from Staunton, Virginia to the West Virginia border can further increase positive economic impact, as that portion taps the tremendous flow of traffic on U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81. The many visitors who choose the State of Virginia because of its historic sites can be accessed, and offered another interesting touring option that increases their knowledge and understanding of early American history.
By extending the Byway west to its historic terminal in Parkersburg, we create an attractive connection to Ohio, one of the Potomac Highland's most lucrative existing markets. Access to the major traffic flows on I-79 at Weston, and on I-77 at Parkersburg make these trail heads a very desirable prospect.
Existing service stations, restaurants, lodging facilities, grocery stores, and retail stores—especially those carrying crafts and items with a strong regional identity, will see a definite increase in sales accompanying an increase in tourism traffic along the by-way. Demand for services not yet available in these regions could result in expansion or creation of new businesses, which also stimulates the existing economy. Businesses based entirely on tourism such as the Durbin & Greenbrier train, and those new shops and service businesses in the Town of Durbin have a major stake in the successful promotion of the SPT Byway.
Because of its close proximity to the Byway, the City of Elkins also stands to increase tourism receipts through the successful marketing of the historic route. The city's lodging facilities, antique stores and craft shops, retail businesses that offer alternative goods, and a wide variety of restaurants make it an easily accessed oasis for travelers on the byway. Also, the availability of creative resources such as the acting troupe and playwrights of Elkins' Old Brick Theater make the creation of entertainment specifically tailored to travelers interested in history a viable possibility, providing work for professional entertainers and increasing the number of attractions in the region.
The Turnpike Alliance, the not-for-profit entity that administers and promotes the Scenic Byway, will be in a leadership position in creating new models for public/private partnerships, and creating economic alliances that cross county and state lines.
Cultural Heritage Tourism – travel to visit and appreciate local heritage -- is growing at twice the rate of regular travel. According to the Travel Industry Association, this tourist segment will continue to grow as the baby-boomers retire. Cultural Heritage Tourism is based on historic and natural places, traditions, industries, celebrations, experiences, crafts, music and art that portray the diversity and character of a community, region and/or state – the very experiences that the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike Byway will provide. These tourists are more likely to travel to multiple destinations, stay in lodging facilities, eat in restaurants and shop than any other tourist segment. In short, they stay longer, and spend more than the average tourist.
The following statistics indicate the economic opportunities that "Cultural Heritage Tourism" provides West Virginia:
"Cultural heritage travel is a large and lucrative segment of the travel industry. In 2002, 81% of U.S. adults included at least one cultural, arts, historic or heritage activity totaling 118.1 million adult travelers. Cultural heritage travelers also spend more and stay longer than other travelers, generating more economic benefit. Cultural heritage travelers spend an average of $623 per U.S. trip excluding the cost of transportation versus $457 for other U.S. travelers. Sixty-eight percent of the heritage group travel by car and take three or more trips per year." (The Historic/Cultural Traveler, Travel Industry Association and Smithsonian Magazine, 2003).
A 1997 study on the "Economic Impact of Historic Preservation in West Virginia," by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research of West Virginia University found evidence of economic impact of heritage tourism in the state, but the study had difficulty determining the extent of that impact because of the lack of development of the industry and poor data collection by sites. The West Virginia Cultural Heritage Tourism program is now working on models to determine economic spending and long-term impacts of increased heritage tourism development in our state. The Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike Byway can take advantage of that trend to help determine much more accurate figures on the impact of its efforts.
Starting with overall tourism figures for Pocahontas and Randolph Counties through 1999 and applying models from other similar Byways give results suggestive of the potential economic impact of the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike Byway as a heritage tourism generator. As the Byway is improved, and more data is collected over time, we can evolve a more targeted and accurate model to show the actual impacts.
The 1999 DKS&A Report estimates that visitors to the Potomac Highlands spent an average of $67.00 per person, per day.
A California DOT study based on economic impact reports for byways in rural regions all across the United States cites $32,500 per mile as the average annual revenue attributable to a scenic highway. Applying this model to the our approximately 160 mile Byway through eight counties, once it is signed and promoted estimates annual direct tourist revenues of $5,200,000 per year. If the approximate 26.3 miles of backways are calculated, that brings the figure to $6,054,750 per year. Note that this may overestimate impact for rural sections of the Byway without tourism services, since those areas will have few locations at which visitors can spend money.
Using a heritage tourism model of per person expenditures, if strategic marketing of the Scenic Byway results in an approximate 15,000 visitors, the Scenic Byway could reasonably expect gross revenues of $775,800 that year, resulting in the creation of about 17 jobs, and increased local spending of approximately $1,086,120, using a multiplier of 1.40.
Sue McGreal, founder and owner of West Virginia Receptive Services in Pocahontas County estimates that at least 120 47-passenger motorcoaches spend part of their multi-day travel itineraries in Pocahontas County. Colleen Stewart, founder and owner of West Virginia Travel Connection in Parkersburg, says motorcoach guests in West Virginia for only one day usually spend an average of $100 to $125 per person. If the motorcoach stays overnight, that figure jumps to at least $300.00 per person, per day. "These figures are realistic for West Virginia, although they are low in comparison to what is spent in other states," Stewart says. "West Virginia's travel product is extremely inexpensive in comparison to other states."
Developers of the scenic byway must bear in mind that while the travel product is extremely inexpensive in comparison to that of surrounding states, visitors also rate satisfaction and value in West Virginia lowest in comparison, according to the DKS&A report.
Decisions about which markets the region chooses to cultivate and how to cultivate them will determine maximum income potential. Traveler expenditure levels depend in large degree upon the quantity and quality of goods, services and attractions available to them, and price is not always the first consideration. A combination of strategic marketing and investment can lay the foundation for a competitive, profitable tourism industry along the byway.

Paul Price
Hello Paul, how are you feeling today?
I'm pretty good thanks but a little stressed and tired as I just moved to London today, I literally just stepped through the door.
Could you tell us a bit about your industry?
I work as a Graphic Designer although I would definitely call myself a Visual Communicator. My industry is complex, degrading, stressful, wonderful and rewarding. I'm interested in using design in beneficial and interesting ways, taking the practice somewhere new and exciting. I would love to see more designers taking this approach to design rather than treating it as a purely aesthetic practice.
Although I am a Graphic Designer it's important to note that I am also expected to be a web designer, user experience designer, art director, illustrator and adviser. These days creative people are expected to be jack of all trades but master of many.
What's your latest project?
Signs of Affection is an intervention poster project which operates using short, positive messages submitted by members of the public by email or our website - http://signs-of-affection.com. If a users message is chosen it is designed, screen printed and then sent across the globe to be pasted up on the walls of various towns and cities.
Essentially I started the project to create something in opposition to advertising but also give the bpublic a way to express themselves in public spaces where that right is being increasingly diminished. It's also meant to be fun and look really pretty.
I was lucky enough to receive the Diana Nelson Memorial Prize and intend to use the money to continue Signs of Affection by investing in some much needed screen printing equipment.
What is the project you have done that you most enjoyed?
It would have to be the design work I did for this years Headingly Music Festival in Leeds, which included branding, website, flyers, posters, leaflets, tickets and passes.
Working on a shoestring budget, for a client group who I would never usually work with, I learnt an incredible amount about the power of design and how design doesn't always have to be beautiful to be effective. I remember speaking to one of my tutors and having that realisation, it changed how I work as a designer and how I view my industry.
Which project do you feel that you have learnt the most from?
This year I had the pleasure of being part of the design team for the BA Visual Communication Yearbook and I learnt so much from people doing things right rather than wrong for once.
I'm not much of a team player, at least not working with other graphic designers, but designing the yearbook as part of a 5 strong team gave some reassurance that I can function effectively with other designers when I need to. I leaned how to work as part of a machine rather than trying to control it and due to this I realised that I can definitely step back and let a manager or art director deal with the stress of a project. Essential learning for those designers who wish to keep their sanity.
What/Who inspires you?
I'm inspired by almost everything. I find it very important to be interested in a great number of things but not necessarily in a large way. For example, I love brutalist architecture whilst I son't know a huge amount about the architects of history of the moment, it can still inspire my design work as much as my interventions.
As you experience things you gain more inspiration and when it comes to searching for a new idea or the solution to a problem then you have these resources ready to use. The more you have then the greater the idea will be or the better a problem can be solved. Design and creativity is definitely all about being aware of the world, part, present and future whilst appreciating but not necessarily liking it at all.
People don't inspire me a great deal although I hope to meet a bunch of inspirational people now that I'm in London!
What are your future aspirations?
If I gave the real answer in a job interview, I aspire to be content, I would be rejected straight away. Employers want to know about your ambition, how you will make them profit, rather than how much you value your well-being. Also, having just spent the last 17 years in full-time education I kind of want to enjoy life on terms rather than at the whims of examination boards.
However to give this a more tangible answer my future should pan out like this:
Work a low level design job, get bored of it, get a more interesting/higher up design job, get bored of it, start my own creative agency, get bored of it. And so on. I'm not sure that I can ever be fulfilled or contented but I'm happy enough to keep trying to be for the rest of my life.
Where would you like to be in five years time?
I would like to be in New York, London or Stockholm enjoying being bored of my job and trying to do hundreds of things at once to fill a void. I would also probably like to start a family and raise some amazing kids. Teaching would be really awesome too id someone would let me.
What advice would you give to students in creative industries?
Don't attempt to create success (great work) by emulating the life or work of someone you admire. Don't enter competitions without amazing prizes, don't work for free and try not to do internships that don't pay.
Be endlessly fascinated by everything inside and outside your field of work. Talk to a lot of people about what you're interested in. Read as much as you can, watch the news every day and fall in love.
Any other comments?
Cynicism is boring.

As Jon frets over his inert career as a composer in the prelude to his thirtieth birthday, the future Pulitzer Prize and Tony award-winner, accompanied by his friend and girlfriend, begin to question if it's time to move away from his theatre aspirations.
This show has now closed. See our list of theatre tickets for shows currently on sale.
About tick...tick...BOOM!

What to plant in the Western Cape
THE word Agapanthus is interestingly derived from the Greek words "agapѐ" meaning love and "anthos" meaning flower.
The Agapanthus enjoy full sun or semi shade where they should be planted in well drained soil. It is important to remember that low light areas can encourage less flowering.
Regular watering especially during the summer will keep these plants happy; however once established they are water wise specimens. For strong leaves and exceptional flowers be sure to feed with a good compost and organic fertiliser.
Small groupings make excellent focal points. They also help to attract butterflies and bees to your garden!

I love sojushots' illustration "La Belle et la Bête", it's amazingly inspiring and adorably cute! (and he had me with the French title, I don't know what it is with French language that makes me want to sing! :D) The same story, different ending... This song is dedicated to all the Beasts out there with broken hearts, believe me, that Beauty wasn't good enough for you! ;)
I would've wanted to sing this one more time, (some lazy pronunciation and out-of-tuneness, sorry!) but I don't think I'll have time to do it 'cause I wanted to upload this before the holidays... So I might get back to this some day! Now just think of this more like story-telling with a melody, not singing a story! :D (plus: accordion, percussion, strings, xylophone... all remixing is, as always, more than welcomed!)
I wish you all the Happiest Holidays, ENJOY everything <3
A long time ago, in a story so old
There was a beauty and and a beast, or so I've been told
They were these two strangers, two lonely souls
But it's not what you think, no, here's how it goes:
Lets start with the Beast, he was ugly and scary
Pathetic and poor, and horribly hairy
The outside was rough, but once he smiled
You could see that he had a heart of gold inside
The Beast loved a Beauty, this pretty little thing
She was the fairest of them all, and she could dance and sing
But unlike the beast whose love shined the best
She loved herself, never cared for the rest
La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast)
Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy)
Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day)
Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night)
Il est amoureux (he is in love)
Elle ne se soucie pas (she doesn't care)
Vont-ils mourir tout seule? (Will they die alone?)
On verra (We'll see)
One day the beast found the Beauty "Perfection"
Sitting by the lake (making love to her reflection)
The Beast then decided that it was the time
To tell the pretty Beauty of his feelings inside
He stepped out from the shades with a flower in hand
Said bravely: "My lady, the fairest in this land,
I might not be a prince, but my heart beats for you!"
Oh the Beauty just laughed, so cold, so cruel
"You smelly old fat hairy pig", she said
"You thought I could love you? I'd rather be dead!"
Still laughing she turned and danced to her home
Leaving the Beast, heart-broken, alone
La Belle et la Bête…
While the Beauty lives all by herself still today
The Beast learned his lesson and changed his ways
He found that true beauty cannot be seen
And that things are most likely not what they seem

Life is a very rare and precious happening. On this earth there are seven billion human beings and countless other sentient beings. The life that each being is living is happening uniquely and genuinely only to them. No life is the same.
The blackbird spent many lifetimes perfecting his song just so you could hear him – in that exact moment of time and space. She is singing just for you. Likewise, you spent many lifetimes perfecting yourself so that you could be present at that exact moment to hear what she has to say. The same is true for all of our encounters with all phenomena.
If we allow the mundane mind with its emotions, thoughts, feelings, and wrong views to invade that moment, then that moment will pass completely unacknowledged. The blackbird's song will be missed and life will take a completely different course, captained by the unruly mind.
Understand that this life is yours to live. So train the mind to sit quietly and invite the mind to join you in this marvellous and wondrous adventure. Stop and sit in stillness. Listen to the colours of life, see the sounds of life, taste the joy of life, breathe, and allow life to breathe you.

It is the year when the coast finally cast off its "slumbering" reputation and became one of the nation's booming new development areas.
Cranes have suddenly sprung up like some strange new race of dinosaurs across the hills and valleys of the region. But instead of grazing on grass and each other, they are grazing on bricks and mortar.
I use this analogy with some degree of expertise, because like so many human dinosaurs, I have waited almost 40 years to see the region finally boom and it seems to have taken an age.
The "big coast boom" has been talked about for decades, mostly by the Sydney media and fly in-fly out cabinet ministers keen to impress the locals with their glittering predictions of great things to come.
In truth, the coast has progressed in fits and starts, and some parts of it, like Terrigal, are virtually unrecognisable from even 20 years ago.
Others, like Woy Woy, Toukley and Wyong, are virtually unchanged.
Now, Central Coast Business Access is no apologist for developers. Like Central Coast Council and the State Planning Authority, we want to see only segments of the coast developed, with other communities remaining relatively untouched by growth.
Judging by the skyline, Gosford, West Gosford, Point Frederick and Terrigal are the home of the newly discovered "cranesaurus" mechanical species, with commercial, residential and mixed purpose developments popping up everywhere.
The headline acts are the St Hilliers and Bonython Tower complexes in Mann Street and the massive Gosford Hospital redevelopment on the traditional site adjacent to the station and golf course.
John Singleton's Bonython Tower, at a cost of $35M, will include 56 luxury apartments, office space and a restaurant, café and bar, while St Hilliers will comprise a new commercial office building, with subsequent stages of mixed use residential and retail offerings.
Meanwhile, the $384M, 11-storey hospital redevelopment is now open in sections as work continues on new operating theatres above the main entry and a $36 million multistorey carpark.
Rumours continue to circulate that 400 spaces will be devoted to commuters using Gosford Station.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg, with these and myriad other developments in and around the city centre, including the $72M, 15-storey Merindah Apartments which will become Gosord's tallest building, set to attract new residents in droves.
For more than 20 years leading real estate agent Chad Knight has been a key player in property marketing on the Central Coast.
His Wiseberry Coastal agency enjoys a prime spot in downtown Gosford and is one of the first places prospective buyers go in search of their new home.
"I have never seen a period like this on the coast," he said. "There are properties going up everywhere and many more are planned.
"However, it is still possible to pick up a bargain if you are smart and work with an expert."
Central Coast Council has many major projects on its books. Many are underway, some are in the process of gaining approval and some have still to come to fruition. It has been argued that the boom was brought about by the "fast forward" attitude of the administrators installed by the State Government after Gosford and Wyong councils were forced to amalgamate.
The State Government, in a roundabout kind of approach, has attempted to ensure a flow of approvals with the establishment of a Gosford based Planning Authority for the region which has an unspoken veto over the workings of council.
It is an interesting approach; a kind of conciliation ensuring sensible growth is encouraged along the length of the railway and M1 corridor.
Most developments are sold off the plan, completely with glossy brochures, impressive artists' impressions and even display units. And there are some good buys among them.
The bulk of residential apartments start at around the $500,000 mark with rents well above the traditional "1000 to one" comparison rate for rental return as against purchase price.
Fan out a little from the city centre and you will discover around 16 new developments approved for West Gosford providing hundreds more residential apartments and more than $500M in projects underway or in the approval stages in the previously rundown precinct of North Gosford.
These include a five-tower complex valued at $137.9M on a huge site at Mann St, Dwyer St and Hills St, which will consist of shop top housing, a café, restaurant and commercial space if it gets the nod from the Joint Regional Planning
Together with the planned expansion of Gosford Private Hospital, the plethora of residential developments on the horizon could see a revitalisation of North Gosford as an extension of the city centre.
Meanwhile, projects at Pont Frederick including a three tower $35M residential development and a $9.5M mixed-use development with ground-floor restaurant and 28 residential units, will see the city centre expand in the other direction.
Fan out even more and we see Terrigal also on the move, with the four-storey Elysium complex on the old Country Comfort Motel site set to provide 64 units.
And the cranes don't stop there.
Sporties Club at Woy Woy is planning a $37M revamp which will incorporate five storeys including the club, 63 units and retails outlets.
Wyong Golf Club will be completely rebuilt and retirement units and facilities added in a project involving the Royal Freemason Beneveloent Fund and Lakeside Shopping Centre at The Entrance is to be completely redeveloped into a twin tower project with a new retail complex and hotel, valued at $300M. It will have 318 residential units and 108 hotel rooms, in a 20-storey and 30-storey staged development.

As a 1930s wife, I am
I must be missing the facebook tests.
I have a story that's been going around my head the last couple of days that maybe blogging will relieve.
A few years ago I was asked to a friend's brothers house to look at a wall he wanted a mural of a waterfall painted on. While I was there the brother's girlfriend piped up:
"Our cats been missing for a week now... heaps of cats and dogs have been missing around the neighbourhood. I bet its the chinese takeaways. I can tell coz the foods been tasting really yummy lately"

Folks like us regularly trumpet on about featuring relevant or catchy copy, but sometimes, it takes a little bit more than just words to get subscribers to engage with your email newsletters. While offering incentives like guides and blog posts can be great for channelling extra clicks, how effective are they, really?
Our metrics-minded friends at Bluewire Media recently decided they'd take the uncertainty out of their content strategy, by running a series of marketing experiments on what kind of content generated the most click-throughs. The methodology was simple – each week, they sent a newsletter to over 6,300 subscribers, featuring a useful resource, like a template, e-books or blog post, alongside their regular news. Following each send, they collected and compared the results, to determine which resource had been deemed most valuable.
Useful content comes out on top
While it's hardly surprising, the offers that generated the most clicks were templates and eBooks, being items that helped their subscribers (mostly marketers and content creators) with their jobs. They observed:
Resources like templates and tools bring the house down compared to any other email offers. Our most popular downloads are the Editorial Calendar Template with a click through rate of 34.5% and the Content Marketing Checklist at 26.2%.
While a common source of newsletter content, blog posts only attracted half as many clicks as the downloads that Bluewire included in their tests, attracting a 5-14% click-through rate.
Content marketing – is it worth the effort?
Of course, creating things like templates takes time, effort and expertise, so how do you justify such an investment? Potentially by having markedly better results than you would otherwise have, say if you were to put a just-passable amount of care into your campaigns. Again, from Bluewire:
"Industry-average click through rates are 4%… (our) click through rates range from 9.8% to 34.5% and typically average 20+%"
Receiving five times more clicks than other marketing-industry newsletters isn't too shabby a result, especially if lead generation is your thing. It's also worth keeping in mind that Bluewire's resources fit into a bigger inbound marketing strategy; by sharing their knowledge, Bluewire not only presents themselves as domain experts, but makes their site a must-visit destination for anyone who needs a helping hand with their own marketing. So in short, they're not only incentivizing engagement with their newsletters, but are also creating valuable resources for both keeping existing clients and roping in new ones.
Many thanks to cool customers Bluewire for sharing their results – if you're keen to find out exactly what content did and didn't work, check out their blog post. Finally, we're keen to hear about your content strategy – what offers, articles or giveaways have been successful in your newsletters? Let us know in the comments below.

We are proud to introduce to you exclusive content by STAIND. STAIND will release their highly anticipated, self-titled, 7th studio album via Flip/Atlantic Records – September 13, 2011. Produced by Johnny K (Disturbed, Sevendust), STAIND is a return to the band's heaviest roots that hearken back to their 1999 major label debut, Dsyfunction. Described by the band as a throwback of where they came from, STAIND is the band's most intense and powerful work to date.
The debut single, 'Not Again,' is currently top 5 at active rock radio and the fastest rising single in the band's history.
STAIND's 16-year-plus career has garnered over 13 million in worldwide album sales, five #1 singles at 3 different radio formats, and the most played rock song of the past decade, 'It's Been Awhile.'
Staind dove into bleaker recesses than ever before and surfaced with their heaviest and most hypnotic album to date, STAIND, their self-titled, seventh studio album.
The multi-platinum Massachusetts hard rock outfit—Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok, and Johnny "Old School" April—pushed itself to the very brink. There was struggle and strife, but, as a result, Staind constructed a collection of chaotically melodic songs that hearken back to their 1999 major label debut, Dysfunction, while wielding an instrumental and lyrical prowess that could only be cultivated by 16 years of writing, recording, and touring together.
Along the way, the band forged a melodic musical maelstrom that served as solace for fans of all ages. They sold 15 million albums worldwide, had eight top ten singles across multiple formats with three songs hitting number one, and wrote the most-played rock song of the past decade, "It's Been Awhile." Three out of six albums—Break the Cycle, 14 Shades of Grey, and Chapter V—debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and 2008's The Illusion of Progress peaked at #3. On STAIND, they channel the intensity from their early days with tight, taut technicality. Mushok augments an avalanche of baritone guitars with a searing solo on the track "Eyes Wide Open" as Lewis schizophrenically screams. Meanwhile, "The Bottom," featured on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack, twists and turns through a haze of grinding guitars, bass, and drums. These songs are raw and real. They're heavy and honest. They're pure and powerful. They're everything Staind was always meant to be.
Mushok sums up the band's return to form best. "It's like Dysfunction 2011," he smiles. "The music goes back to where we started, but there's still melody. We were ready to make an album that was heavy from beginning to end. It was time." " I aimed to create distance between Staind and my solo material," declared Lewis. "We decided to go back to what we were doing initially."
The decision to make a heavier album proved unanimous among the band. Staind regrouped in December 2010 as a spring deadline loomed. In rehearsals, they tensely tore through ideas before arriving at what would become these songs. With Johnny K (Disturbed, Sevendust) returning behind the board, Staind constructed a studio that mirrored the producer's inside of Lewis' Western Massachusetts barn. They recorded drums, bass, and vocals in the barn, while Mushok cut his guitars in the band's Springfield, MA rehearsal spot.
During the winter months, Lewis stood mired in an intense balancing act of promoting his solo EP, "Town Line," and toiling over STAIND. During this time, Town Line debuted at #1 on the Billboard country charts and #7 on the Billboard 200 and garnered Lewis two CMT award nominations. He'd play acoustic shows on the weekend and then return home to commence tracking during the week. Still, inspiration didn't truly strike until the last possible moment in April when he wrote and recorded the majority of the album's lyrics in two grueling and nerve-wracking two-day stints. Those eleventh hour sessions were an emotional exorcism.
"Pressure usually kicks in my creativity, but I've never been quite so stressed out over an album," reveals Lewis. "There were a lot of schedule clashes and differences of opinion, and I was trying to muscle through it all. I was burnt from running ragged, and nothing would come out lyrically for months. We'd talk about ideas, but it didn't happen until the end. Those were real feelings of discontent arising within the whole process. There's nothing like shit coming off real—when it's real. I guess that was my breaking point. It was a big heaving deep breath when it was over."
Mushok adds, "This was a hard record to make. We weren't all together in the same place the whole time, and Aaron and I butted heads about the music. In hindsight, it all paid off and we ended up with a better album."
Every moment of the process was captured in a forthcoming documentary piece, which Lewis aptly dubs, "Some Kind of Monster on steroids. It unveils everything that went into this." After finishing the album, Staind underwent another significant change. The band amicably parted ways with original drummer Jon Wysocki.
"Not Again," the lead single, brandishes a vicious vitality, teetering between pummeling guitars and an incisive, infectious hook. "That was born out of the frustrations of making this record," exclaims Lewis. "It came out of being really fucking pissed off, and you can hear that in my voice."
You can also hear it loud and clear on the gritty and gruff groove of "Wannabe," where the singer spits vitriol at faceless online detractors. Then there's "Failing," which snaps from a haunting harmony into an entrancing refrain. With clean guitar and vocals, "Something to Remind You" is sparse and elegantly brutal, while "Paper Wings" burns with raw rage.
"There's a deeper anger to the vocals and music," explains April. "Some of the riffs Mike came up with were challenging and incredibly different. We've grown so much, and at the same time managed to find out way back to our roots."
Since day one, Staind has found ways to make darkness beautiful, wrapping shards of melody inside a distorted hum. Mushok continues, "I'm very happy to know we can go back to where we came from and write a record like this. It wasn't an easy process, but it was worth it."
Ultimately, Staind will continue their legacy. "As a songwriter, you can only hope someone feels what you're feeling," concludes Lewis. "In terms of what I get off my chest, the subject matter has always been a release for me. I think this record is another perfect example of that."

How to Select Window Shades and Treatments
Window treatments make a distinct design statement in your living space. While there are many decorative ways to cover a window, there are several functional aspects to consider. We've provided a guide on how to select window shades and treatments for you.
Window treatments can provide privacy, light control, and reduce the heat that is allowed to penetrate which could save on energy costs. We've provided a guide on how to select window shades and treatments for you.
Ideally, built-in window treatments should be planned during the design phase of a new home or condo, or as part of an overall home remodeling plan. For example, many architects are incorporating solar shades in today's designs, which are integrated in the framing stage of construction in the interior ceiling in front of doors and windows. Window treatments that are motorized can be specified in electrical plans to allow them to be operated by a switch or by remote control.
How to Select Window Shades and Treatments
When selecting your window coverings there are several important steps which you may want to consider:
Step One:
Assess the level of light control and privacy needed in each room. The opacity of the material you select will determine how much light is allowed to enter the area. There may be times when you want more privacy and light control, such as at night, and other times when you want to appreciate the sunlight and view. Consider layering a sheer with a drape to provide options. If you have an astounding view, you may consider a horizontal window covering, which when opened will not obstruct your view.
Step Two:
Decide how you want your window coverings to operate. Manufacturers offer an assortment of choices on how window coverings operate, from motorized shades, baton-like wands and spring loaded pull downs to different types of rods and rod attachments. A valance is a great way to accent the top of your window treatment while hiding a rod or mechanisms.
Step Three:
Choose a color palate. Consider the overall look of the room. Should the window coverings add interest, or fade like a back drop? The ambiance of an entire room can be changed with warm or cool colors filtered through a closed shade or drape. Look for ways to tie window treatments in with other surfaces in the room- flooring, wall color, furnishings and fabrics. When selecting a color, remember to consider how the window covering will look from the exterior of your home.
Step Four:
Consult with a designer. With a myriad of companies manufacturing window treatments, you can have any combination of features imaginable, so it is good to get some professional advice. Island Attitudes Furnishings and Design Center offers inhouse interior decorators to advise you on a selection of window treatments for your specific situation. The design center is located in the new South Shore Plaza in North Kihei, one block from the Ohukai Road intersection. Working with a designer will help combine window treatment choices with the necessary functional aspects to contribute to your home's unique design.

Call Me Pisher – A Madcap Romp Through City Hall
Howard Moscoe, author, retired City Councillor & TTC Chair
"My grandfather was a horse thief, my grandmother a bootlegger, my father a bookmaker and my brother a scalper; so there was nothing left for me but politics."
Thus begins Howard Moscoe's hilarious, informative and undoubtedly (to some) a maddening account of his 32 years in public office. As you'll discover he used the tradecraft of all those questionable vocations to cajole, manipulate and beguile his council colleagues. While he advanced an agenda that often focused on derailing his political opponents, it was always driven by the ultimate goal of improving the quality of life in his ward and in the city as a whole.
You will also discover why the name Moscoe elicited widely varying, and sometimes extreme reactions.
Former Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman derided Moscoe as "the best excuse for birth control I know".
Adam Vaughan, M.P., Spadina-Fort York (previously a City Councillor), "Moscoe's had ability to drive those in power crazy. In fact, if he were on your side he could drive you crazy too. His style could inspire and confound you all at the same time."
Toronto Life, marking Moscoe's retirement from politics in 2010, expressed "hope that the next council can live up to the level of wit and absurdity."
And Toronto Star columnist Royson James offered this assessment, "Moscoe is no angel. He is a blustery, bombastic, hard-nosed advocate for the disabled, the downtrodden, and anyone else that comes up against the wall of bureaucracy that is often erected at city hall. His advocacy often brings him into conflict with the bureaucrats who really run the city. What the Councillor lacks in finesse he makes up in integrity.

For £13 I wasn't expecting any of the 200 additions to blow my mind. I've not felt I've made use the Facebook, Game Center and sharing stuff yet to even feel I got my small amount of moneys worth. It wasn't a bank breaking purchase so I wasn't too fussed. That was until I noticed a couple of things that made me really wish I hadn't updated.
The battery life took a noticeable hit from updating. It appears to be a wide spread problem as recorded here. Thursdays minor upgrade, v10.8.1, seems to have clawed a wee bit of time back. Unfortunately, we're still no where near getting the time available pre-Mountain Lion. On the bright side it has been reported Apple are well on there way with 10.8.2 so I'm hopeful this will go towards getting back to the good old days.
Another change iOS developers may have really found inconvenient is the removal of old simulators from the latest XCode. If building iPhone apps and you're supporting devices rocking an OS prior to v5.0 you're going to need to get it installed on a real device. Unfortunately there is no option on Mountain Lion to install an older version of XCode to get it back.

When asked how many of her products had failed to make it to market, natural skincare producer Karen Farley had a great answer!
Blue Mountain CollegeHow many products have you tried but have failed to go onto the market?
Karen Farley: We've only been working on the four products so far, and we haven't had anything that's failed to go on the market so far. Some are more popular than others.
None have actually failed and we're working on new products all the time and I suppose time will tell when we have things that people are interested and not interested in.

I've been watching the presidential debates on CSPAN rather than one of the major networks. CSPAN tends to feature both candidates on a split screen, which is the best way to watch them. If you didn't have a split screen last night, you didn't see Obama smiling while McCain attacked him, nor did you see McCain in distress when Obama replied.
I found myself watching the candidate who was silent as often as I watched the candidate who was speaking. As they say, actions often speak louder than words... but then again, words count too.
Here's a perfect example. Listen to Obama, but keep your eyes on McCain:
For McCain supporters, the highlight of the night was probably when their candidate said "Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago."
That made for a strong remark... until Obama had a chance to reply.
Did you catch McCain's reaction when Obama noted that even Fox News had debunked McCain's claim? That's comedy!
Here's another important point from last night. Abortion, and McCain's concern for the "health" of the mother. Again, watch McCain's reactions as well as his use of air-quotes at the end of the clip:
Last, but not least, here's a fun collection of McCain eye rolls from last night's debate:
