DIY Palm Trees!
10 comments:
I know what those are for...WOOT! WOOT!ReplyDelete
Hi Brittany! Thanks for commenting on our cowboy party! I didn't realize what a compliment it was until I visited your site, and WOW you do great work! I'm definitely gonna become a follower and I look forward to getting lots of inspiration from you for our next party!My three year old is IN LOVE with the Jungle Book, so I look forward to seeing that finished product. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Will definitely have to make some of these. So easy and me and easy go together. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Love this idea! Thanks for posting it originally and sharing it on CPN!ReplyDelete
Hi Brittany,ReplyDelete
You mentioned that you took a length off the roll, glued the roll closed, then tore pieces of the extra and glued them back on!
I am not following that.... "you took a length off the roll". What, you cut the roll open then cut it into strips lengthwise?
I am not picturing this in my mind.... is there any chance you can show a step by step guide?
It would be much appreciated. These would look great at our Luau this summer.
Hi Rhonda! It was a very large roll of craft paper, so I rolled some of the paper off the roll to use for the "bark" (but you could roll all of it off) and glued the remaining paper on the roll to itself, so that it wouldn't come off the roll. Then the paper that I had rolled off earlier was what I used to tear up and glue back on.Delete
I hope that makes better sense!

If you wanted to do really big trees you can get a couple empty rolls that were in the center of the carpet rolls that they have on display in Lowe's and use those for the tree trunk.ReplyDelete

Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman Calls Kwanza an "Effort to Divide America"
Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman recently attacked Kwanza, in a December press release, claiming that it was "an effort to divide America."
In his press release, entitled 'Why Must We Still Hear About Kwanza,' Grothman wrote: "Of course, almost no black people today care about Kwanza, just white left-wingers who try to shove this down black people's throats in an effort to divide America."
"Irresponsible public school districts…try to tell a new generation that blacks have a separate holiday than Christians. Be on the lookout if a K-12 or college teacher tries to tell your children or grandchildren it's a real holiday."
Kwanza was created by Professor Maulana Karenga in 1966 as an alternative celebration to honor African American heritage, reports RawStorycom.
Grothman claimed: "[Professor Maulana Karenga] was a racist and didn't like the idea that Christ died for all of our sins, so he felt blacks should have their own holiday, hence, Kwanza."

ISM – Increasingly Slower Manufacturing!
The ISM numbers today again support our view that slowing demand is likely to cut significantly into second half earnings and in many cases drive some significant surprises or revisions. Given that this coincides with a period of very high relative valuation for many of our sectors, we remain firmly of the view that the relative risk is stacked heavily to the downside for the balance of the year.
The ISM production index is down (again) – generally industry is producing less – incremental sales are almost always at high incremental margins and so losing incremental sales results in losing very profitable revenues. Excluding the 2008 recession, the production index is at its lowest level since May of 2003. This is not good.
However, it gets worse; inventories are higher. As you reduce production you would expect inventories to fall, but they are rising – see exhibit. So we are making less and we are still selling less than we are making. It would be less concerning if this was because customers were reducing inventory, but they are not. Customer inventories are flat, but at the elevated level we highlighted in June.
Source: ISM
The bottom line – real demand is weakening. If this continues:
- Volumes will disappoint
- Prices will weaken – possibly severely in highly competitive fungible product areas
- Returns on capital will fall
- Companies will miss guidance
- What already look like expensive sectors will look even more expensive
We would be most cautious about Specialty Chemicals, Paper, Electrical Equipment and Express Mail.
See our published research for more details and specifically our September Monthly, published this morning for more detail on valuation.

Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020
Transferring up a league doesn't always carry success. The rewards could also be larger, however the competitors shall be harder. So it is for the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020. The one-time Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage rival has been reinvented as a more expensive SUV, so now it's up against formidable prestige-badged competitors such as the BMW X1.
Luckily, the brand new Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 builds on the strengths of the unique, providing more space, a classier feel and improved effectivity. It's still designed mainly for on-road use, but four-wheel-drive 4Motion versions now function adjustable drive modes that make it easier to tackle different situations.
Engines range from a 1.Four-litre petrol with 123bhp to a 2.Zero-litre twin-turbo diesel with 237bhp, though the lowest-powered models include front-wheel drive and a guide gearbox only. If you would like an automated 'box and four-wheel drive, you'll need to take a look at engines with 148bhp and above.
Read on over the following few pages for all the pieces it is advisable to know in regards to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020, together with which engine and trim to decide on. And do not forget to go to our new car deals to see if you can get a good discount off a Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020.
The most effective-selling Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 is the 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel mannequin (badged 2.Zero TDI 150) and it is simple to see why; it provides a wonderful mix of performance and gasoline financial system, whereas the cheaper 115 version (with 113bhp) feels slightly short of puff. There's additionally a 190 version of the two.Zero TDI engine that delivers plenty of punch but is moderately pricey, while the range-topping 240 model brings but extra pace for an even more eyebrow-raising worth.
When you're more focused on petrol power, the entry-level 125 mannequin puts out 123bhp from its turbocharged 1.Four-litre engine. Nonetheless, whereas it's the most affordable mannequin within the vary, it struggles a bit up inclines, particularly when loaded as much as the gunnels. The 150 model is better, however nonetheless lacks the low-rev pulling power of the diesels.
As for the 2.0-litre 180 petrol engine, it feels quick and is quick off the line, because of all-wheel drive coming as normal. It doesn't fairly have the in-gear flexibility of the diesels, although, however around city you'll have little problem with the respectable performance it gives and out on the motorway there's no drawback overtaking.
By small SUV standards, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 rides very nicely indeed. It smooths over bigger imperfections, corresponding to pace bumps, better than the BMW X1, but the suspension is still agency sufficient to cease the body from bouncing up and down an excessive amount of along undulating roads.
Patched up roads and damaged Tarmac can unsettle the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 a little bit – especially in the event you select a version with large alloy wheels – but in contrast with its key rivals the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 is snug. Even the sporty R-line trim is bearable, if inferior to lesser models. If you want a more settled trip, you will want to choose one thing with a lower centre of gravity, comparable to a VW Golf.
We would not bother with the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 optional adaptive suspension. It does not enhance the ride that much and there are more worthwhile extras to spend your money on.
The Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 handles more like a standard hatchback than a lot of its SUV rivals; it's genuinely satisfying to drive. Some could feel the steering is a little too gentle, however it's exact, making the automotive straightforward to position on the road. There is not an excessive amount of body roll by means of corners and all variations have loads of grip, though the four-wheel-drive 4Motion models unsurprisingly provide better traction in slippery conditions.
True, the X1 and Seat Ateca are even more agile by means of the twisty bits, but the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 outshines most other small SUVs, including the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. The R-line model is obtainable with sports suspension but this doesn't make the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 any more enjoyable.
4Motion models add a dial next to the gearlever that permits you to choose different modes depending on the terrain and initiate a hill descent system. An additional choice is adaptive chassis management – this allows you to stiffen or soften the suspension to prioritise either trip comfort or flatter handling.
The petrol engines are especially smooth, even when being worked hard, and while the diesels sound a bit clattery at tickover and if you actually put your foot down, they're nonetheless muted at a cruise and far from raucous when accelerating. That said, the diesel engines within the rival X1 are slightly quieter.
At high speeds, you'll hear a flutter of wind noise around the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2020 door mirrors, but just about no street noise except you opt for a model with really big alloy wheels. The handbook gearbox is light and easy to use, while the DSG automated is smooth and soothing the vast majority of the time, with solely the occasional jerk at low speeds.

WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. v. Volkan Turk
Case No. DCO2011-0001
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. of Istanbul, Turkey, represented by Istanbul Patent & Trademark Consultancy Ltd., Turkey.
The Respondent is Volkan Turk of Istanbul, Turkey, and Doha, Qatar.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <turkcell.co> (the "Domain Name") is registered with Register.com (the "Registrar").
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on January 7, 2011. The Center transmitted its request for registrar verification to the Registrar the same day. The Registrar replied (following a reminder) on January 11, 2011, confirming that it was the registrar and the Respondent was the registrant of the Domain Name, that the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP") applied to the registration, that the Domain Name would remain locked during this proceeding, and that the language used at the time of the registration had been English. The Registrar also provided the full contact details held on its WhoIs database in respect of the Domain Name.
The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the UDRP, the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a) of the Rules, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on January 12, 2011. In accordance with paragraph 5(a) of the Rules, the due date for Response was February 1, 2011. The Respondent did not submit any response by that date. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on February 2, 2011. The Respondent subsequently submitted a Response on February 2, 2011.
The Center appointed Jonathan Turner as the sole panelist in this matter on February 10, 2011. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with paragraph 7 of the Rules. Having reviewed the file, the Panel finds that the Complaint complied with applicable formal requirements, was duly notified to the Respondent and has been submitted to a properly constituted Panel in accordance with the UDRP, the Rules and the Supplemental Rules.
4. Procedural Ruling
Although the Response was filed after the due date and no excuse has been offered for the failure to comply with the time limit, the delay was insignificant and has not prejudiced the duly expeditious determination of the dispute. In the circumstances the Panel admits the Response under its general powers in paragraph 10 of the Rules.
5. Factual Background
The Complainant is the leading mobile telephone network operator in Turkey and the third biggest in Europe with nearly 31 million subscribers. The Complainant has operated its business since 1994 and its shares have been quoted on the New York and Istanbul stock exchanges since July 2000. It operates under the name "TURKCELL" and has registered trademarks consisting primarily of the word TURKCELL in Turkey, the European Union and the United States of America. It has its main websites at "www.turkcell.com" and "www.turkcell.com.tr".
The Domain Name was registered on September 14, 2010, and has been pointed to a web page with a banner containing the name "complaints.com ®" and the legend "consumers in control".
After registering the Domain Name the Respondent sent emails to the Complainant stating that he had registered it "to protect and secure your .CO", that "Owning of your .CO domain is critical, specially for the big corporations and brands", and that "we are first approaching you directly to sell". The emails invited the Complainant to contact the Respondent if the Complainant was interested in securing the Domain Name or not as soon as possible. The Complainant did not reply.
6. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
The Complainant contends that it has rights in the mark TURKCELL and other marks consisting primarily of this word. The Complainant further contends that the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to these marks.
The Complainant submits that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name. It states that it has not licensed or permitted the Respondent to use the Domain Name, that the Respondent is not commonly known by the Domain Name, and that as a Turkish citizen the Respondent must have been aware of the Complainant's marks when he registered the Domain Name.
The Complainant alleges that the Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith. In particular, the Complainant contends that the Domain Name was registered primarily for the purpose of selling, renting or otherwise transferring to the Complainant for valuable consideration in excess of the Respondent's out-of-pocket costs. The Complainant points out that the Respondent has registered a number of other .co domain names with second level domains corresponding to the names of well-known Turkish companies, such as <turkishairlines.co>, <sabanci.co>, <ulker.co> and <arcelik.co>. The Complainant also alleges that the Respondent has used the Domain Name intentionally to attract Internet users to its website for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's marks and that the Respondent registered the Domain Name to prevent the Complainant from reflecting its marks in a corresponding domain name.
The Complainant requests a decision that the Domain Name be transferred to it.
B. Respondent
The Respondent accepts that the Domain Name is identical to marks in which the Complainant has rights and adds that these marks are confusingly similar to his own surname "Turk".
The Respondent submits that he has rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name. He says that he purchased more than 400 .co domain names for his business of securing .co domain names for companies who failed to buy them on time and forestalling cybersquatters. His intention was to offer companies a service of following up news from ICANN and buying any related domain names to secure them in the future. The Respondent points out that he sent two emails to the Complainant explaining that he had registered the Domain Name to protect it and also called the Complainant's legal department many times, but no one from the Complainant approached him. He concluded that they were not interested and directed the Domain Name to a known consumers website.
The Respondent denies that he registered or is using the Domain Name in bad faith. He points out that he has not caused the Domain Name to forward to a competitor's website or a pornographic website. He claims that he did not ask the Complainant to pay him money to buy the Domain Name. He says that he did not establish a website at the Domain Name or even park it to make money out of the Complainant's known brand and did not threaten to use it badly. He also submits that there is no dispute since the Complainant did not engage him in argument or debate.
The Respondent adds that the dispute can be solved if someone from the Complainant contacts him since he just wants the Complainant to pay his expenses of purchasing the Domain Name and protecting it from cybersquatters. He concludes by saying that he consents to the remedy requested by the Complainant without the need for a decision.
7. Discussion and Findings
It has been held in a number of cases that a genuine unilateral consent by the Respondent to a transfer of the disputed domain name provides a basis for an immediate order for transfer without consideration of the elements of paragraph 4(a) of the UDRP: see AXA SA v. Enrique, WIPO Case No. D2010-1888, and cases cited there. However, these cases also make it clear that even if such consent is given, the Panel has a discretion and may proceed to a consideration on the merits, for example where it is desirable to make a public finding of bad faith against a serial cybersquatter who has sought to avoid such a finding by timely concession.
In the present case, the Respondent has not unequivocally consented to an unconditional transfer of the Domain Name, but rather has said that he should be contacted by the Complainant and wants the Complainant to pay his expenses of purchasing the Domain Name and protecting it from cybersquatters. Furthermore, the Domain Name is one of many domain names which the Respondent has registered as part of his business of securing .co domain names for companies who failed to register them on time. It is therefore desirable to proceed to a determination clarifying the position on the substantive issues for the benefit of all concerned.
The substantive requirements which a complainant must prove under paragraph 4(a) of the UDRP are (i) that the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a mark in which it has rights; (ii) that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and (iii) that the Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. It is appropriate to consider these requirements in turn.
A. Identical or Confusingly Similar
The Panel finds on the evidence that the Complainant has registered rights in marks consisting predominantly of the word TURKCELL and unregistered rights in the mark TURKCELL itself. The Panel is also satisfied that the Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to these marks. Many Internet users would suppose that the Domain Name was registered by the Complainant or would type it by mistake when seeking the Complainant's principal website at "www.turkcell.com". The first requirement of the UDRP is satisfied.
B. Rights or Legitimate Interests
The Panel notes that the Respondent registered the Domain Name and many other .co domain names reflecting the names of well-known companies without their prior consent for the purpose of his business of securing domain names for these companies. The Panel further notes that the Respondent offered to sell the Domain Name to the Complainant.
The Panel finds that the Respondent sought to sell the Domain Name to the Complainant at a profit. The Respondent admits that he registered the Domain Name as part of his business, and the Panel infers that he intended his business to make a profit. Furthermore, it is obvious that his emails to the Complainant, stressing the importance of owning its .co domain name, were inviting the Complainant to purchase the Domain Name from him for a price in excess of the minimal cost of registration.
In these circumstances, the Panel finds that the Respondent has not used the Domain Name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services. It is also clear that the Respondent is not commonly known by the Domain Name and has not made legitimate noncommercial or fair use of it. Nor is there any other basis in the circumstances of this case on which the Respondent could claim any right or legitimate interest in respect of the Domain Name.
In all the circumstances the Panel finds that the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name. The second requirement of the UDRP is satisfied.
C. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
For the reasons stated above, the Panel finds that the Respondent registered the Domain Name primarily for the purpose of selling it to the Complainant for valuable consideration in excess of his costs of registering it. In accordance with paragraph 4(b)(i) of the UDRP this constitutes evidence of registration and use in bad faith.
This presumption is not displaced by any countervailing evidence in the file, but rather is reinforced by the material in the file, including in particular the Respondent's registration of numerous other .co domain names reflecting the names of well-known companies without their consent.
In all the circumstances, the Panel finds that the Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The third requirement of the UDRP is satisfied.
8. Decision
For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name, <turkcell.co>, be transferred to the Complainant.
Jonathan Turner
Sole Panelist
Dated: February 22, 2011

Tudors, show time, Death of Jane Seymour Spoiler
I just finished watching the most recent episode of Tudor's and I have to say I cried when Jane died. We all knew it was coming but it ended up being a lot more heart wrenching than I thought it would. When she was on the decline the doctors brought Henry to her and he said "it is child bed fever, my mother died from it" I think that was the first time he has spoke of her. I am going to watch it again. I can not get enough of that show even though it can be very raunchy, but I like that they are stating to show Henry more of the heartless person he was, finally.

1953 Ford X-100
Announced in 1952, this was Ford's "Car of Tomorrow," a pilot model being studied toward future development as a practical five-passenger sedan. Called the Lincoln Continental Nineteen Fifty X (Lincoln Continental 1950-X) or Ford X-100, it served as a laboratory for the creation of new features for possible inclusion on production cars. This view showed how the curved windshield blended into the clear-dome top. For fair-weather driving, the non-glare, low-heat transmitting top over the front seat retracted mechanically into the leather-covered canopy.
There were two cars built in 1953 by the Ford Motor Company, the Ford X-100 and the Lincoln Fifty-X, which are shown here. They were virtually the same car!
This car was named Lincoln Continental 1950-X at its introduction in early 1952, but was later renamed Ford X-100, 1953 / Lincoln Typhoon, 1957
Probably the first true Ford dream car was the X-100 of 1953, which anticipated the torpedo styling themes of later Fords like the 1961 Thunderbird. Another indication of Ford's new directions from the same year was the Mexico — only a scale model, but the result of wind-tunnel testing and an important pointer to future trends. Ford claimed 50 engineering firsts for this car, including a moisture-sensitive cell on the roof, which automatically closed the plastic sliding roof panel.

The 10th Annual SAP HR2013 Conference will be in Las Vegas from February 26 to March 1 and it is regularly considered the premierevent for SAP HCM Professionals, consultants and customers. There are more than 110 in-depth educational sessions, ask the expert workshops, customer workshops, networking events and live demos by SAP and SuccessFactors. I will be attending this year and taking part in special panel called The Future of SAP HCM – Predictions from the experts and an Ask the Experts session so hope to see you there. I am also happy to announce special discount code, which will provide a $400 discount It is a very important event for SAP HCM and SuccessFactors professionals and there are four important topics I want to get more clarity on and report back after the event with my findings.
1. SuccessFactors Integration – SAP Co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe mentioned when the deal closed last February that integration would be "out-of-the-box" and "easier, better and cheaper". There is no doubt this is a high priority topic for many SAP HCM customers considering deploying a hybrid model and I have written two articles The Real Truth about SAP and SuccessFactors Integration and SAP and SuccessFactors – "Proven" Integration is Hype to give some perspective on where things current sit. Here are my questions:
- When will the SAP HANA Cloud Integration be released for SAP HCM and SuccessFactors use cases?
- Will there be additional licensing required for SAP HANA Cloud Integration for the delivered HR Integration Packs?
- What is the integration roadmap and timeline for the remainder of 2013?
- What are some live customer examples using the SAP HCM to Successfactors Integration packs?
2. Customers – Here are some questions I have been hearing from customers that I would like SAP and SuccessFactors to provide some clarity on.
- What is the SAP and SuccessFactors BizX roadmap for 2013?
- What is the roadmap for SAP Cloud Payroll and Employee Central for 2013?
- Does Employee Central offer similar functionality to what I have today in SAP HCM?
- How has the early adoption been with the HR Renewal
- What is on the roadmap for HR Renewal
- When will EHP7 be released?
- What is the business case to justify paying additional SuccessFactors licensing for Performance and Compensation management when they are included in the base SAP On-Premise license?
- Will there be a migration path for existing customers looking to move to SuccessFactors?
- How does SuccessFactors engage with customers for their product enhancements?
- Why is there no section for HCM or Payroll on the SAP SCN Idea Place?
- Why were only 8 out of 155 customer request in the newish SAP Customer Connection (replaced DRQ) accepted an why the long development cycle?
3. HANA and SAP HCM/SuccessFactors – We recently recorded a podcast on the SAP Suite on HANA with a HR focus with or preliminary thoughts and here are some additional questions I will be looking to get some clarity on:
- What does the HANA HCM roadmap look like for 2013?
- What is the licensing model for new HCM functionality introduced as part of SAP on HANA?
- Clarity on what is planned around Payroll Audit, Simulation, Flexible and Retroactive Analyzer using HANA
- Clarity on what is planned around the enhanced Payroll reporting on HANA including Overtime Payments, Garnishment Order, Reconciliation and Compensation Reporting
- Will there be tools to help HR customers make a business case for HANA?
- Why has there been a delay on SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics on HANA?
- When will the entire SuccessFactors Suite run on HANA?
- Will there be additional costs for SuccessFactors customers to use HANA?
4. SAP HCM Mobility – SuccessFactors delivers their mobile applications as part of their subscription as do several of SAP competitors. I have been critical of SAP's strategy in the past asking Is SAP Using the Right Mobility Strategy although I appreciate that the SAP HCM Mobility and Roadmap offers some solid apps. I have the following questions:
- Will SAP change their strategy around HCM mobility to stay competitive?
- What is the adoption % for SAP HCM customers around HR mobility?
- Will SuccessFactors change their existing "free" mobile strategy?
- Plans by SuccessFactors to enhance their current mobility offering
- Will the Sybase products be used at SuccessFactors?
I will be arriving in Las Vegas mid afternoon February 25 as well as speaking at the The Future of SAP HCM – Predictions from the experts on February 27 at 10:15 and Ask the Experts on February 27th at 5:30. If you see me walking around in my SAP Mentor shirt #126 or recognize me please stop to say hello although I apologize in advance that it may be a short conversation as with all the sessions, customer meetings and presentations it is going to be a busy 3 days for me. If you want to stay current on all the major developments as they unfold I would recommend joining the SAP and SuccessFactors Linkedin Group as well as following me on Twitter at SAP_Jarret as I plan to be very active on social media during the event. Let me know in the comment section the questions you have and I will be sure to ask.

Pricing Legal Claims Part II – Valuation Biases and Heuristics
In the last post, I noted that three different sources of uncertainty affected efforts to appropriately value claims: the amount in controversy, as influenced by the revealed facts and relevant decision makers; the uncertain amount in litigation costs; and the sequential nature and nonmonotonic value of the option to settle. This post focuses on the first–the challenges of gauging the amount in controversy, including but not limited to a potential judgment value.
While even robotic litigants and attorneys would be flummoxed by the challenge of accurately assessing the amount in controversy, given the unpredictability of judicial rulings and juror deliberations, the challenge is made much more difficult by the fact that litigants and their attorneys are irrational, emotional human beings. Behavioral economics offers great insights into just how profoundly litigants', litigators', and even judges' judgments are distorted by classical forms of bias.
For example, the "anchoring" bias is the tendency of people to make estimates grounded in irrelevant starting points. This bias is particularly (though not only) relevant in settlement negotiations, as research documents that people anchor to the opening offer, and thus are more likely to accept a $12,000 settlement when the initial offer was $2,000 than when the initial offer was $10,000. Or consider "hindsight bias," which is the tendency to overestimate one's own predictive powers and thus see past events as more predictable than they in fact were. Hindsight bias has been documented as influencing jurors' liability determinations.
Another bias, affecting litigants and litigators alike, is "egocentric bias," which is the tendency of people to overestimate their own abilities. This bias not only influences perceptions of claim value and thus litigation decisions at the outset of a case, but also affects how revealed information is processed. As a result, as the case progresses, opposing sides' views of claim value can become further apart, rather than closer together. Other biases work against settlement as well: the sunk cost phenomenon,subjective psychological costs and litigation fatigue, reactive devaluation, (i.e. the desire to avoid appearing to capitulate to an adversary), and status quo bias.
Finally, and even more damaging to accurate claim valuation than bias and emotion, is the dearth of data about claim value. Few cases go to trial, and most settlement amounts are secret. If every case's monetary value were public record, it would be possible to systematically analyze the results, identify the most potent predictive factors, and try to professionalize claim valuation. But such transparency is impossible to imagine. As a result, bias and emotion will continue to warp litigants and litigators' perceptions of claim value. Importantly, good faith professionals, such as the lawyers and funders, can be as or even more biased than their clients in their value judgment.

*** Donde esta mi gente?! That seems to be the question being asked concerning the lack of Latino or Spanish-language acts in the Free Press Summer Fest lineup this year. Aside from the outstanding Gio Chamba, there were no other Latin acts in this year's selections. Yes, I know DJ/producers Hiram (Treviño) and George West (Vik Montemayor) are of Mexican origin, and as much as I appreciate them and their music, there's definitely room for more. Colombian guitarist/singer/songwriter Juanes and Mexican rockeros Zoé turned in passionate and well-received performances at last year's ACL Music Festival, as did Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux and LA-based Ozomatli. Los Rakas would most certainly contribute their Spanglish reggaeton sound to the festival, just like they did at this year's Coachella.
In the past, FPSF has booked Los Skarnales, Los Amigos Invisibles, DJ Gracie Chavez (solo), and Bombón with much success. I just hope the festival can see that there's room for Latinos on next year's bill and beyond. How about Cafe Tacuba, Molotov, La Mala Rodriguez, La Santa Cecilia and Kinky, or a new acts like 3BallMty Kap G, MILKMAN, Kali Uchis? Do you realize how amazing a Toy Selectah + Peligrosa + Bombón dance party would sound? Or hell, just book Carlos Santana and I can die a happy camper. (MARCO TORRES)
*** Take the good things from this year — letting chairs in, free water seemingly everywhere, misting tents, putting the stages closer together — and see how they can be applied to their regular home. We accept the fact the festival is not going to move from the hottest part of the year, but this year felt the most like we all weren't trying to survive the heat death of the universe. (CORY GARCIA)
*** It's just a random idea, but maybe take a page from Houston's Whatever Festival and Bonaroo and toss in some comedians to perform: Gabe Bravo, Dale Chessman, etc. What do you think? (JACK GORMAN)
*** Can a girl get a beer koozie anywhere? It was my fault for forgetting my beer koozie the first day of the fest, and even more my fault for repeating this mistake on Day 2. So yeah, I take responsibility for being a dumbass. But seriously, no one was giving out koozies anywhere?!? Apparently the FPSF merch booths were selling a few for way too much coin, but otherwise I was beyond surprised that none of the vendors were passing any out for free and that more vendors didn't have some for sale. Considering how sinfully hot it was (and always is), more koozies next year for the win. (SELENA DIERINGER)
*** As convenient as NRG Park turned out to be, I would welcome a return to Eleanor Tinsley Park next summer. From the righteous skyline view to the natural theater seating to the blessed, merciful GRASS, it's much nicer to sweat down along the Bayou. I suspect that the Pegstar team might be tempted to make the change of scenery permanent, but partying on asphalt in June isn't something I think I'd enjoy doing every year, no matter how many purple drankaritas you're slinging.

Salam (peace)
Islam is under pressure of a massive n most clandestinely designed conspiracies for a very long time, with all sorts of means including super sophisticated instruments/ mechanisms n evil sorceries.
My exposure 2 the knowledge of this highest of the top secret project was mashallah (although very painful n demeaning) due 2 a combination of factors like circumstantial n work related exposures. Then their opportunistic attempt for exploitation on my career that resulted in2 me resigning but mashallah still surviving with unprecedented opportunities 2 gather evidences. This was possible largely due 2 the fact at that time they became opposing n deadly enemies divided in2 2 groups. Thus 1 group wud allmost allways oppose the other faction on any decisions made on me as part of their feud not bcoz I was 1 of their favorites. These most vicious n deadly warring groups still fighting n r british n us governments combined intelligence agencies who were assigned 2 destroy the financial sectors of other countries.
2 fight this most intelligent, sophisticated, ruthlessly immoral, most stealth even more so for being unimaginably liars n hypocrats the only option that the 57 countries of the ummah (brotherhood between all Islamic states n muslims envisioned by prophet Mohammad, peace b upon him – pbuh) hav 2 get 2gether urgently n take some critically urgent decisions in order 2 protect Muslims, ummah n Islam. As far as history goes islam never faced danger of such magnitude.
I had emphasized some cooperation between the OIC countries in the recent past. I doubt if it found any importance anywhere. Very unfortunate indeed. Islam is already bleeding all the way fm Tunisia 2 Bangladesh. No body knows the total #s of muslims that died during the last 5 years in these 15-20 odd muslim countries (probably more than a million). All pretty much in same style – internal power struggle between 2 factions or parties, none flexible 2 negotiate where again negotiations r farce so that the animosity farther increases. N finally after couple of decades u hear suddenly platoon IS has entered 2 bring another complicated twist in2 the country which amongst all the differences n feuds trying 2 strike a balance. Afterwards u c wot u r cing in Syria now. OIC pls wake up, judge the situation in perspective of us, uk n israeli ambitions, past n present, n take some drastic action for a full fledged ummah. Otherwise these three has tested the waters of islamic countries for 5 yrs for a new kind of invasion n so far they have whipped us all most dead. The next phase will b the deadliest n most brutal ever for all 57. So pls urgently draw up some counter measures against the terrorism of USA, Israel n UK.
Munir Chowdhury
IS claim plus ydays pms press conference. Things don't look brite rather I wud say it is a SUPER RED ALERT. US is definitely invading this Muslim country in the future. The final ground work has been completed by MI 5 n CIA. IS (shud b renamed as 1st platoon marine forces invading a Muslim country by the western countries) has been formally introduced in bd 2 the world. A confused pm w/o any action plans against the terrorists behind the scheme, hinted correctly thou 2wards the 2 big terrorist nations in the world – UK n USA. 1 might argue 2 b diplomatic rather then being blatant agajnst shytwans 2 best friends n historys most cunning n ruthless Muslim killers.
My question is who is going 2 help n support us if we keep quiet about it n thinking we have outsmarted them by discussing it only with their friends? Or r we hoping some sort of devine intervention?

Common Language for Ummah
Posted on 08/28/2015 by Munir Chowdhury
I have mashallah put 2gether 2 of my blogs 2 farther push forward the most urgent issue that shud b on the desks n in the minds of every Muslim countries leader's – 2 form a working n cooperative ummah among all the muslim majority states.
May Allah create the strongest brotherhood among all Muslim nations as hazrat mohammad (saw) envisioned. May Allah also inspire all muslim countrys 2 adopt mandatorily 2 learn arabic besides their mothertongues. Now we telawat quran but don't understand its meaning, but understanding the quran n sunnah is the most important thing for a muslim. Inshallah when every muslim in the world can speak, write n communicate in arabic the Islamic commonwealth n ummah will then b not a dream but reality.
All OIC head of states, with the rahmat n hedayat of Allah, if agrees 2 a comprehensive plan inshallah within the next 3 months 2 roll out arabic language training program in their skools fm primary sections, I strongly blief that will inshallah b a grand success. 2 make this very important project imshallah a quick n effective success some good planning needs 2 b drawn up also with strong commitments. Among other things wot wud b required is allocating n sharing resources eg., some providing arabic teachers, some covering living cost adjustments of these teachers, some providing extra scholarships 2 more students of other islamic countries for medical science, engineering or other university degrees for subjects that country requires.
Thru good planning n execution inshallah within next 5 yrs the entire ummah will hav a common language which will greatly enhance trade n commerce as well as investments within the ummah.
Not 2 mention thru own understanding of the Quran n sunnah n implementiñg that in their daily lives, all Muslim countries in their own merit will inshallah bcome each a hub of purity n peace among all the nations in this world.
We have been fooled n cheated for too long. No more wasteing of time otherwise we will even loose mekkah n Medina 2 the kafirs. If we can start it off inshallah there will b a lot of barakah fm allah as well as reward for good deeds. Jazak Allah khair ( may allah reward u).
We all know how much prophet mohammad (saw) loved us even though we were not born at that time n neither did he c us. But he wud stand out alĺ nite in2 prayers n his legs were swollen n hurting but he ddnt take notice of that, bcoz he was supplicating 2 allah for u n me for our guidance n forgiveness saying repeatedly ya ummati, ya ummati until he cud convince allah for us.
Wot his ummats r doing 2day? All over u c they r devided in2 factions n whoever got little more weapon or power then the other bcomes azab for the weaker. Then there r other groups who finds west as more trustworthy friends then their muslim brothers. Y is their hamas n fatah, y is there bashar n anti bashars? For the same kind of natural catastrophey y does a very rich muslim state comes with a help of $50 million for a poor muslim country, whereas they help a very rich kafir state with $1billion. How do then people respect the ummah?
Let us not forget allah is very watchful of all our.affairs. let.us not dishearten hazrat mohammad by creating.factions within the ummah. To allah its not the color, faction or nationality but tawaqull (fearing.allah n his rules) that matter n gets the priority for the criterions of leadership.
Now look for yourself how effectively n viciously kafirs use factions between Muslims.

The Porcelain Enamel FAQs
Also see "The Synthetic Enamel FAQ"
Porcelain enamel is a specially formulated, highly durable glass permanently fused to metal under extremely high temperatures. The metal may be steel, cast iron, or aluminum. It may be a protective surface for cooking utensils, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and appliances such as dishwashers, ranges, refrigerators, washers and dryers. It is acid resistant. Porcelain enamel may be a decorative surface of metal, glass or pottery. Porcelain enamel while very durable is also expensive to apply and so is being replaced by synthetic enamels or plastics in many appliances today, in such places as cabinet sides, tops and doors. Range tops and ovens will remain porcelain enamel because there is no good substitute presently to withstand the high temperatures. Older appliances may have more porcelain enamel surfaces.
Appliances. Wash with detergent and warm water and rinse. Do not use abrasive pads or scouring powders as these will scratch the glassy surface.
Decorated enamelware --wash in sudsy water, dry with a soft cloth.
Bathroom fixtures can be cleaned in a solution of 1 tablespoon detergent to 1 gallon hot water or with a foam bathroom cleaner. Avoid using household cleaners which contain abrasives. Porcelain enamel bathtubs made since 1964 are acid-resistant. Older ones may be dulled by acid contact, or other chemicals spilled in the tub.
Kitchenware wash in sudsy water. If necessary use a plastic scouring pad or wooden scraper to remove burnt-on food. Burnt on food may be loosened by soaking in a solution of 2 teaspoons baking soda and 1 quart water. Avoid abrasive scouring powder or steel wool. For heavy baked-on grease, or spills, occasional use of a fine steel wool pad or scraping with a razor blade is ok; just be very careful not to scratch the enamel. Using abrasives, such as steel wool or abrasive powders tends to permanently scratch the smooth glassy surface, and make it harder to clean thereafter.
Lime deposit in teakettles may be removed by a solution of vinegar and water. Bring to a boil.
Bathroom fixtures should be disinfected weekly with a solution of chlorine bleach and water or a spray-on disinfectant or by using a disinfectant cleaning foam.
Rust stains can be removed by using commercial rust remover or by using a solution of 1 tablespoon oxalic acid crystals (poison), dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water. Apply to stain, allow to stand a few minutes, then rinse well.
Sinks. Do not leave acid foods sitting on the sink surface for a long time. Many porcelain on cast iron sinks made before 1964 were not acid-resistant. But many acid fruits such as lemons and other citrus fruits, cranberries, etc., vinegar, salad dressings and other acid foods could possibly etch even acid-resistant porcelain enamel if left in the sink a long time. Perforated or plastic mats protect sinks from damage.
Repairing Porcelain Enamel. Modern porcelain enamel can be chipped but only with a very hard blow that bends the base metal. Damaged porcelain enamel fixtures and appliances can be repaired, with do-it-yourself-kits, or by professionals who do the best, most lasting repairs. A special type of paint is used, as porcelain enamel itself must be baked on under very hot temperatures, so it will not be as durable as the original porcelain enamel surface. Never attempt such repair on utensils used for preparing or cooking food.

Pop quiz: what is most widely consumed beer style on Planet Earth? Hints: It was originally brewed in what is now the Czech Republic, when that land was part of the German-speaking Austrian empire, however the first brewmaster was Bavarian. It is widely copied all over the world. If you get a Thai, Chinese, Tanzanian, Peruvian, or Mexican beer, it is probably this style. There are Czech (Bohemian), German, and American versions. Here is a hint….the original version was brewed in the city of Pilsen. By now, you have probably guessed that the beer style that took over the world in the 20th century and still reigns supreme in the 21st, is the pilsner lager, also known as pils. Budweiser, Miller High Life, Coors, Corona, Heineken, Pabst, Sapporo, Singha, and Red Stripe are just a few examples of beers derived from the pilsner lager style. Many of these use adjuncts such as flaked corn or rice, however the Czech and German versions are all barley malt with no adjuncts. The Czech pilsner is brewed with lager yeast and known for its light complex malt and spicy-floral noble Saaz hops balance. The most famous one is Pilsner Urquell, which is the original pilsner and still brewed in the city of Pilsen in the Czech Republic.
We have become so smitten with pilsners that we took a trip to the Czech Republic. Should you wish to partake of pilsners in Prague, which incidentally is one of the most beautiful and culturally-rich cities in the world, we have some suggestions. We sought lots of guidance from friends, as well as Fred Waltman's "Beer Guide Prague" (under a buck at the app store and a fantastic resource) and Evan Rail's Beer Guide to Prague (which seems to be out of print but is downloadable from the Prague City Tourism website). We've distilled that and what we've learned into some handy guidance for the intrepid beer traveler. We also checked out https://stagmadness.com/blog/best-places-to-drink-in-prague to see where the best places to pub crawl were. Our suggestions here are far from definitive. There are many great places that we didn't get to, as we only had four days in Prague, and one of those days we took a trip to Pilsen to tour the Pilsner Urquell brewery. (It's less than two hours by train and an excellent tour).
First, some there's vocabulary to become familiar with. The Czech word for beer is pivo. A brewery is a pivovar. Pivovars typically don't offer flights nor do most beer bars. While there are exceptions, most bars and restaurants have only one or two beers, a brewery-restaurant (brewpub) typically has between two and five different beers. The standard size glass for a beer in the Czech Republic is a half-liter, 500 cc, or around 16.9 ounces.
Most traditional bars carry only one brand of beer, either Pilsner Urquell, Budweiser Budvar, or Staropramen. And, your choice within that brand is typically light (lezak) or dark (tmave). It makes ordering a beer pretty simple. No list of 20 drafts and 50 bottles to pore over when choosing your pour. Another thing to be aware of is that Pilsner Urquell is the only pilsner that is called "pilsner." The others are called "lager." Sometimes you get a choice of how much foam (head) you want. Go with the least if you want more beer. Go with the second most if you want a couple fingers of head. The third level is basically a glass of foam!
When traveling in the Czech Republic, you might as well get comfortable with drinking the traditional pilsners. They've been perfecting this stuff for over 100 years, and it is fresh, tasty, and quaffable. We never were huge Pilsner Urquell fans, as in the U.S. we generally get it light-struck from the green bottles and it's not that fresh. In the Czech Republic your Pilsner Urquell will be fresh and delicious. And, for the most special version of Pilsner Urquell, look for the "tankova" sign. Tankova keg beer is unpasteurized and has a special 'keg liner' that protects the beer from oxygen. Pubs that offer tankova must meet stringent requirements regarding keg turnover, refrigeration, sanitation, and inspections.
We stayed in medieval Old Town (Stare Mesto), which has many of the most popular tourist destinations, including the Astronomical Clock (currently under repair scaffolding, unfortunately), Clementinum, Tyn Church, Old Jewish cemetery and synagogues, and the Charles (Karlov) Bridge, a busker and artist-filled pedestrian bridge that connects you to the Little Quarter, also called "Lesser Quarter" or "Lesser Town" (the Czechs just call it Mala Strana). Just north of the Little Quarter is the Castle Quarter, dominated by the picturesque Prague Castle and spectactular St. Vitus Cathedral.
We did our own beer touring, but wanted to check out some out-of-the-way less touristy places as well with a local guide who knows the beer culture. After an unsuccessful online search that yielded tours that looked pretty cheesy ("at the end of our tour you get a special beer diploma") I learned about a small personalized beer tour operation called Taste Local Beer. I told beer guide Travis about our group's interests and the places we would visit on our own, and he designed and led us on a terrific tour of three out-of-the way destinations, one was a brewery and two were locals pubs. First, I will mention places we visited on our own, and then describe the tour. We highly recommend Taste Local Beer for any visitor to Prague interested in beer!
Golden Tiger (Zlateho Tygra) – Traditional pub that everyone says you must visit and "go early before the locals show up if you want a seat." We went mid-afternoon and were cheerily ushered to a large table. Pilsner Urquell is your choice here. I've read that the beers were "tankova" but the owner told me "no, normal." Location: Old Town.
The Three Roses Brewery and Restaurant– (U Tri Ruzi Pivovar a Restaurace) – Small brewpub with three or four taps of traditional Czech styles, although you may find a wheat beer, Vienna Red, or IPA in rotation. Fun murals on the walls upstairs, we sampled characuterie and cheese. They sell their beer in bottles to take away. Location: Old Town, a few doors down from Golden Tiger.
U Dobrenskych Pivovar – Small brewpub with hearty Czech food and four taps, including a lemongrass blond that was quite nice. Food options were hearty meat dishes or cheese marinated in oil. Not unusual in Prague….pack the psyllium! RateBeer Best New Czech Brewery 2016. Location: Old Town.
Lokal – Dlouha – Lively and filled with young locals, a long cavern of a restaurant that has Pilsner Urquell tankova and a hip vibe. Maybe that's just because we were seated near a colorful group of Bohemian bikers. Known for their traditional Czech kitchen and tasty fried cheese dish. Location: Old Town. There are two other Lokal tankova locations in Prague, Lokal Hamburk and Lokal U Bile Kuzelsky across the Charles Bridge in Lesser Town (Mala Strana).
U Fleku – Said to the be only brewery in central Europe that has been brewing continuously since 1499. The historic décor and beer museum inside are worth a gander, and the beer garden is exceedingly pleasant in nice weather. The dark lager is tasty, as is the mead. Be aware that a waiter will walk by and start to serve everyone in your party a small taster of mead or another beverage (I've heard schnapps, but we were offered mead). In case you think it is complimentary, be aware it will be added to your bill. You can say "no (ne) thank you", except for the mead lovers who will want to say "yes (ano)". "No" can sound like "ano" which means "yes", so nice to learn both words in Czech. By the way, you will want to write down a few words phonetically so you can practice speaking Czech. I know you've heard "everyone speaks English." Two points: not everyone speaks it well, and it is simple courtesy to learn a few words in Czech and use them. It will be well appreciated.
Letna Garden Beer Gardens (Zahradní pivnice Letenské Sady) – Open in summer, this shaded beer garden has Gambrinus lager on tap. It is recommended due to the beautiful panoramic view from a hill overlooking Prague. Directly across from the National Technical Museum.
The Strahov Monastery Brewery (Klasterni Pivovar Strahov) – Close to and affiliated with the Strahov Monastery, this brewpub and restaurant has pretty copper brewkettles, a full menu and beers that divert from the traditional pilsner lagers. You will perhaps find an IPA, red ale, or wheat beer. Location: On the castle side of Prague, by the Monastery.
Ready for something other than lagers? Try a craft beer bar in Prague!
Zly Casy – The name means "Hard Times" but the extra effort to get here is worth it if you want to explore the Czech craft beer scene. A true craft beer bar with an excellent bottle shop next door. Craft breweries in the Czech Republic are brewing IPAs with new world hops, sours, wheat beers, fruit ales, stouts, you name it. Three floors with different taps on each, however all 48 taps aren't necessarily active depending on when you visit. Take tram 24 or 7 to Otakarova, then walk toward the underpass but head right up Na Zameke, then left on Cestmirova. The other craft beer place of note is BeerGeek Bar, however we didn't get there unfortunately. For a bar closer to Old Town with a very good selection of Czech craft beers, head to the Prague Beer Museum along the river just south of the Charles Bridge, on Smetanovo Nabi. The IPA and double IPA from Matuska were outstanding. (Note there are other places called "beer museum" in Prague that are not the same. One is actually a museum).
And for something a little out of the ordinary, the Muzeum Medoviny, the Mead museum, is where you can taste meads made from all over the Czech Republic. Mead is fermented honey, and it can be sweet or dry, still or carbonated, made "pure," with honey, water and yeast, or it can have fruit or spices added to it. Unlike the Pivovars, the Mead museum lets you get very small (under two ounces) samplers of 5 or 10 meads. You can get a mead mojito or just order a glass of mead.
Our tour with Taste Local beer was highly enjoyable and it was great to have a night when we didn't have to think or look at a map to find great beer. Our guide, Travis, came to pick us up at our apartment and was terrific to work with. Travis is an American who has lived in Prague for many years and so he knows both American and Czech beer culture. The personalized tour costs about $65 per person, and included Travis meeting us at our apartment, public transportation (tram) tickets, visit and tour of a brewery, visits to two "locals" beer bars, and ample food and two full beers at each stop. The tour took about five hours, although we might have taken longer than most; we recommend you start around 5:30 and make this your evening plan! Travis will take you anywhere you want to go, or design a tour based on your interests. Travis also provided many suggestions via email and made us dinner reservations even before our tour day, and afterwords he emailed us with a list of the places we visited as well as some recipes we'd discussed. If you want to "Czech" out the craft beer scene, or visit traditional pubs, or a combo, you get personalized attention on Taste Local Beers private tours for 4 to 8 persons. Below are the three places we visited on our tour. http://tastelocalbeer.com/prague/
Vinohradsky Pivovar – A well regarded brewery restaurant in the "wine district" that serves two beers, a light lager and an amber lager. We toured the small brewery and had dinner here. Each couple shared an entrée and everyone was invited to order both beers. This was some of our favorite food on the trip and our tour was off to a fine start.
Cafe Kolibka – Fresh Unetickey Pivovar, which you don't see everywhere, at a small bar that sees few tourists. We delighted in the light lager and the pale lager. Just delicious fresh beer in a local hole-in-the wall. More food was provided, there was a tasty marinated cheese and something else…the beer was delicious and perfect and the memory is a bit hazy regarding the food but it was happiness-producing and ample.
Restaurance U Sumnavy – Our third stop was a wonderful traditional restaurant that had both traditional and craft beers. There was a dark lager, a Vienna lager, and an incredible smoke (rauch) lager from the Cernokostelecky Pivovar. The rauchbier was a true surprise and perfectly delicious. There was also three IPAs from craft brewery Matuska, which were quite well brewed and gave us the fix of New World hops we craved. Here we enjoyed dessert. There was an apple pastry dish with crème fraiche and some type of round fritter-type dessert that had a chocolate-cream sauce. Dessert was tasty and the perfect end to our tour. Travis kindly navigated us back to our apartment and became the lucky recipient of a can of Smartmouth's Safety Dance Pilsner and a copy of Keg of Love, by the Esoteric Ramblers, often billed as the "world's best beer band."
How to get around? The tobacco shop will sell you tickets that work for both tram and subway. And, it is simple to summon an Uber; there's no Lyft in Prague. Taxis have a meter, but it's just for show; cabbies in Prague pretty much wing the cost of a ride then charge extra. We found Uber was a great supplement to public transportation and used it extensively.
Where to stay? We have two recommendations.
For a group, you can't beat an apartment for convenience and value. We had four couples in a beautiful and spacious four-bedroom, three-bath apartment, the Valentinska, with an unbeatable location in Old Town, for under $100 per couple per night. The company that manages the Valentinska was easy to work with, responsive to questions, and we are happy to recommend them. The Valentinska and their other properties in Prague can be viewed at http://grandluxuryapartment.cz
They will let you pay in dollars, euros, or CZK. They prefer that you pay cash upon arrival, but if the customer insists (nicely) they will let you pay by credit card for no extra charge.
For two or three persons, or a couple traveling with a child, I don't think you can beat the Glass Rooftop Apartment in New Town. The main room of this modern apartment has a large bed and wall-to-wall glass windows, along with a small table and sitting area. Outside the window is a large private terrace with stunning views of Prague. There is a small kitchen off the main room, and the second bedroom is a very small room with a twin bed. The apartment is entered through the Franciscan Gardens, which is a tranquil green oasis in the heart of busy New Town. It's about a twenty minute walk to Old Town Square, but you can always Uber or take the tram if you get tired of walking. This apartment, and others in the building like the Glass Suite Apartment, can be booked through www.prague-stay.com.
Happy traveling and na zdravi (cheers)!

Defending champion: Martin Kaymer
Last year: Kaymer closed with a 70 at Whistling Straits and won a three-hole playoff when Bubba Watson hit into a water hazard on the final hole and made double bogey. Dustin Johnson thought he would be part of the playoff until he was assessed a two-stroke penalty after his round for touching the sand with his club on the 18th hole, not realizing he was in a bunker.
Last time at Atlanta Athletic Club: David Toms had a one-shot lead on the par-4 18th in 2001 when he laid up instead of trying to take on the water, then hit sand wedge to 12 feet and made par to beat Phil Mickelson. Toms closed with a 69 and set the major championship scoring record at 265.
Major champions at Atlanta Athletic Club: Jerry Pate (1976 U.S. Open), Larry Nelson (1981 PGA), David Toms 2001 PGA).
Return of the Tiger: Tiger Woods will play in the final major of the year after sitting out the last two majors to let injuries to his left leg fully heal. Ten years ago in the PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club, he had to rally to make the cut and tied for 29th.
Key statistic: Since the world ranking began in 1986, the PGA Championship has had only nine champions who were among the top 10, the fewest of any major.
Noteworthy: American players, 0 for 3 in majors this year, have won at least one major every year since 1994.
Quoteworthy: "There used to be only Tiger and Phil, No. 1 and 2, for many, many, many years. And now it's changing." — Martin Kaymer.

Police functions
Section 7: Liberation on undertaking
53.Section 22 of the 1995 Act makes provision for suspected offenders to be released from custody on the undertaking that they will appear in court on a specified day. The use of undertakings is currently limited to cases in which the suspected offender has been arrested and is consequently held at a police station. It is only open to an officer in charge of the police station to liberate the arrested person on such an undertaking. Section 22 only applies to offences which can be tried summarily.
54.Section 7(2)(a) removes the need for a suspected offender to be arrested before being released on an undertaking. Provision is now made to allow the officer who charged the person to release that person on undertaking; the need for this to be done by an officer in charge of a police station is removed. Similar provisions is made for persons who have been arrested under section 21 (Schedule 1 offences: power of constable to take offender into custody) and section 135 (Warrants of apprehension and search) of the 1995 Act.
55.Section 7(2)(b) inserts a number of provisions into section 22 of the 1995 Act. Section 22(1A) will now allow for the arresting officer to liberate a person on an undertaking. The officer in charge of the police station retains the power to liberate a person on undertaking. Section 22(1B) permits liberation on undertaking of an accused who has been apprehended under a summary warrant. This can be done by the apprehending officer, or the officer in charge of a police station. The section provides that the person undertakes to appear at a specified court on a specified date and time and under specified conditions.
56.Section 22(1D) allows additional conditions to be imposed upon the person who signs the undertaking. These are both conditions in similar terms as a standard bail order, and further conditions considered to be necessary to secure compliance with those conditions. The latter, however, must be authorised by a police officer of the rank of inspector or above, in terms of new section 22(1E).
57.Section 22(1F) of the 1995 Act provides that the procurator fiscal is not bound by the terms of the undertaking and may rescind the undertaking, or vary the date, time and court to which the person is to attend. The procurator fiscal may also revoke or relax any of the conditions which have been imposed in relation to the undertaking.
58.Section 22(1G) of the 1995 Act sets out the lifespan of conditions attached to an undertaking. If not rescinded, they expire at the end of the day on which the accused's case is due to call in court; alternatively, if a warrant is granted, they expire at the end of the day on which the accused appears in court in answer to the warrant. It follows that in every circumstance other than where a warrant is granted the conditions fall at the end of the day on which the undertaking is due to call. The court can, of course, consider anew the imposition of bail conditions if the accused appears in answer to an undertaking.
59.The maximum penalty for a breach of the undertaking when prosecuted in the sheriff court is increased from 3 months imprisonment to 12 months imprisonment by amending section 22(2)(b)(ii) of the 1995 Act. New subsection (4A), as inserted, provides that, unless challenged by a preliminary objection, an accused who breaches an undertaking by failing to appear or by contravening a particular condition will be held to have admitted the failure to appear or breach of condition
60.Section 7(3) makes a minor amendment to section 135 of the 1995 Act. This amendment makes it clear that the accused who is apprehended on a warrant, and released on undertaking, does not require to be brought before a court in the course of the first day after apprehension.

If you don't know what Securian does, chances are that you will soon.
The financial-services company announced Tuesday that it was launching a marketing blitz, complete with its first TV campaign and sponsorship of four baseball teams.
The campaign — called "Every Moment Counts" — includes the unveiling of a new name, "Securian Financial," and a new company logo.
Also Tuesday, the company announced that for the first time it has been included in the Fortune 500 list of the largest American companies. The company's ranking in the Fortune 500 is 462nd.
Securian has $1.2 trillion of active life-insurance policies, $79 billion in assets under management, and 19 million customers in North America. It is the nation's 10th-largest insurance company.
The 138-year-old company is headquartered in downtown St. Paul. It has 5,300 employees in the U.S. and Canada, including 2,700 in St. Paul.
Beginning Wednesday, Securian will launch its first national advertising campaign, with ads that range in length from six to 60 seconds. The rotation will be heaviest in four markets: Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago, Denver and Houston.
In the same markets, Securian will be a sponsor of the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros. Securian will host a variety of family-themed activities in and outside of the teams' ballparks.
Ann Pilon McGarry, vice president of enterprise marketing and branding, said that to attract customers, the company needs a strong brand — a clear public impression of what the company is and what it does.
"Our distributors want a strong brand so they can spend less time explaining who we are when educating customers about our solutions," McGarry said.
"Finally, the competition to recruit top talent is intensifying, and we know people want to work for a strong brand."
Meanwhile, Plymouth-based Polaris Industries also took a place on the Fortune 500 list Tuesday. The manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and other sport vehicles is ranked No. 496.
"Being named to the Fortune 500 is a tremendous honor and a true testament to the integrity, passion, and commitment to excellence of every Polaris employee," Scott Wine, the chairman and CEO of the 60-yera-old company, said in a statement. Polaris says it had 2017 sales of $5.4 billion.
There are currently 19 Minnesota-based companies on the Fortune 500 list.
