Taking Ideas to the Next Level
There are ideas, and then there are HUGE ideas.
Virgin founder Richard Branson is no stranger to big ideas. Anyone who can develop a brand and turn it into a record company, chain of Megastores, mobile phone provider, hotel, and airline deserves serious applause.
Yesterday, Branson outdid himself with the launch of WhiteKnightTwo, a carrier airplane that will launch Virgin Galactic passengers 50,000 feet above Earth's atmosphere. They hope to be the world's first environmentally friendly, private spaceflight airline. Talk about ambitious!
Companies like Virgin Galactic are inspiring because they teach entrepreneurs and creatives to be hopeful and relentless in pursuing their visions. It's possible to expand a mail order record store into a groundbreaking, aeronautical venture.
For the aspiring astronauts, sign up for a window seat on the Virgin Galactic website if you have the time (there's a waiting list, and flights aren't projected to begin until 2009-2010) and money (roughly $200,000).

Different parts of the body provide varying functions to enable normal life to continue. Problems can come up in some areas and introduce challenges. Where the feet tend to change in shape or become misaligned, a Cambridge ON chiropractor is best placed to work on the issue and restore it to normal status.
Foot orthotics are great for providing support and stability to a foot where muscles and ligaments are weak or not aligned properly. Custom foot orthotics provide better results because they are made to match the exact area that requires attention. Since peoples issues are different, providing a customized solution offers the best way for fast improvement.
Any misalignment in a foot, however minor, can progress and transfer pressure to other areas. If rectification is delayed, complications can result. A solution that fits properly helps distribute pressure in a better way, thereby reducing it where it is not wanted. An effective and prompt intervention slows down the problem and prevents further damages.
A solution that fits properly not only supports the foot in the right position, but it also restricts movement. Such protection creates an environment that promotes rectification and reduces the chances of long-term issues coming up later. Pain and inflammation are reduced as well as possible deformities after recovery.
A problem that stays for long without rectification can prove difficult to eliminate through normal means. By intervening early enough, such complications that can lead to complex solutions like surgery can be avoided. Complications can also be avoided in feet recovering from fractures by using the right foot orthotics to restrict movement. The foot then gets to heal while in a better position.
The feet are sensitive to small alignment issues that can lead to imbalance or discomfort. Early intervention helps prevent creating unpleasant outcomes. Working with a professional provides an environment where one can be assisted and monitored. This ensures the recovery process goes well without complications.

Debra Messing Says She's 'at Peace' with Divorce
The Smash star opens up about the end of her 20-year marriage
When news broke in December that Debra Messing and her husband of 10 years, Daniel Zelman, were divorcing – and then that Messing was dating her Smash costar, Will Chase, who is also going through a divorce – the actress said she was prepared for the backlash.
But she's learned to not let it get the better of her.
"I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible – embracing saying 'no' and being okay with people being unhappy with me," Messing, 43, tells Ladies Home Journal.
"It's a very long time," Messing admits about her marriage. "And I am at peace with the journey we ve had. I feel like the 20 years we had together has been a huge success. And despite the fact that everything is changing, I think everyone is thriving.
That includes Messing and Zelman's 8-year-old son, Roman, who Messing says is still their number one priority.
"Every thought is dictated by what s best for our son," she said. "We are completely on the same page in that regard. We are dear friends."
Messing said she and Zelman didn't grow apart, but admits that she now has conflicting feelings on lifelong partnerships.
"I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing," she says in the interview. "I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. 'Til death do us part was a much different deal."

A couple of thoughts by way of explanation and introduction. Feel free to skip some of this and jump back in further down the page...
I've written before about how I am addicted to footnotes in the books I read. They can expand your thinking beyond the author's original premise, and can introduce you to yet more books that need to be read. I've also talked about how following links on the net can take you down some serious rabbit holes. Well, what are hyperlinks but footnotes on speed?!
This particular trip unfolded as follows: First, I listened to the fantastic audio exchange between Ken Wilber and Kurt Johnson as they talked about Kurt's new book, The Coming Interspiritual Age. This is very exciting stuff and that book has been added to my ever-growing digital "To Read" pile. Something Kurt said in the dialogue really caught my attention. He referred to some folks on Wall Street who were thinking in terms of human consciousness and spirituality, and who were trying to bring about change in the predominantly me-focused mindset there. Given my previous life on Bay Street, and my current life of... whatever it is, I was intrigued.
I emailed Kurt and asked him if there were people I should be paying attention to in this regard. He sent me back a kind and helpful reply, which added yet another book to the pile. He also introduced me to the work of economist/activist David Korten. Not only did that link add yet more books to the pile, it also pointed me to Yes! Magazine (where David blogs.)
Still with me? Good. This is where the empathy idea kicks in: I subscribed to the Yes! Magazine newsletter, and the first edition that showed up in my inbox linked to the wonderful RSA video of cultural thinker Roman Krznaric discussing this fantastic concept:
(Krznaric is a founding faculty member of London's School of Life, something I'll be looking into further.)
The idea of empathy is something that I stumbled across before finding Ken Wilber, Integral Theory, or anything to do with the evolution of human consciousness. It was Jeremy Rifkin and his book, The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis, that started all this for me.
To keep things simple, I have a couple of basic definitions that I use to differentiate between sympathy, and empathy, the latter being a relatively new phenomenon in human psychology.
Sympathy is feeling for someone else.
Empathy is feeling as someone else.
The difference is critical. Sympathy is good, empathy is better. Empathy is seeing the other, experiencing the other, at a more developed level. Empathy is movement along the spectrum of loving the other. Empathy--a relatively new word in the human lexicon--is proof that we evolve. And so is this movement from introspection, a very real and necessary practice, to outrospection. From Me to We to All of Us.
This past week my sister sent me this quote from Dostoyevsky that seems fitting. These words were written in 1880... Here was a man born well ahead of his time.
Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it.
Love every leaf, every ray of God's light.
Love the animals, love the plants, love everything.
If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things.
Once you perceive it, you will begin to understand it better every day.
And you will come at last to love the whole world with all-embracing love...
Things flow and are indirectly linked together,
and if you push here, something will move at the other end of the world.
If you strike here, something somewhere will wince;
if you sin here, something somewhere will suffer.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Merger of TRICARE offices provides more efficiencies in care management
WIth two of TRICARE's regions set to merge, the TRICARE Regional Office (TRO) North and TRO South became TRO East on July 1, 2016. TRO West is continuing as before covering the western United States. The move was made in advance of the pending award of the TRICARE-2017 (T-2017).
"We wanted to make our operations more efficient," said Ken Canestrini, chief operating officer for TRO East. "The bottom line is that beneficiaries won't see any difference in delivered care."
Current TRO North staff in Falls Church, Virginia, and TRO South staff in San Antonio, are functioning under the new TRO East business model. Some staff rebalancing occurred to eliminate redundancies, but each office will continue to provide management and support services in their respective geographic areas covering 33 states.
Canestrini said having two major regional offices hits the right balance of combining operations for efficiencies while making sure not all of the eggs are in one basket.
"With just one contractor for all stateside areas, if you had any issues with a contractor or service, it would likely affect all our beneficiaries," said Canestrini. "This way you'll continue to have two major sectors of terrain, while still capitalizing on best practices from the different regions."
TRO East will handle the lion's share of those enrolled in TRICARE, with about six million beneficiaries – about two-thirds of all TRICARE beneficiaries.
Under the future T-2017 Managed Care Support Contracts, one government business partner will manage the network of civilian medical providers for the entire East Region where previously, two business partners split that responsibility in eastern geographic regions designated as North and South.
The TRICARE Regional Offices provide essential government oversight and coordination for those civilian contractors.
Canestrini said this move is one of many initiatives in the Defense Health Agency to improve the Military Health System and ensure active-duty, retirees and family members receive the highest-quality health care services for years to come.
"This will help us better oversee the contractors providing the care," he said. "In addition, this increases TRO East's focus on supporting military hospital and clinic commanders in managing their market and facilitating a more integrated system, while helping our beneficiaries."

Pre-Employment Drug Testing
A Good Time to Revisit Company Policies?
Writing for Vox's The Big Ideas series, Mark Kleiman encourages firms to do some cost-benefit analysis on their pre-employment drug testing policies in light of tighter labor markets and shifting norms on cannabis.
Drug-war passions are fading and job applicants are hard to find. In that shifting social context, companies and public employers, including the military, might want to take a second look at whether pre-employment drug testing actually does the job it was designed to do.

If you are the kind of person who loves beautiful fabrics and likes to sew, Make & Do is just the place for you. Launched as an online project by Kirsten Clark in 2010, Make & Do is now a fabulous shop and workshop venue based on the lively Sandy Park Road in Brislington.
Kirsten is an arts graduate who, since finishing her studies, has developed a wide range of skills and experiences that feed into her work with Make & Do. Amongst other things, Kirsten has been a secondary school teacher (specialising in art and special educational needs), has run a Community Arts Project called Broadwalk Arts in Knowle, and has chaired the South Bank Arts Trail. The Make & Do project was partly developed to fit in with her role as mum to two small boys.
Kirsten first opened the Make & Do space in the back room of a shop called Tenderfoot on Sandy Park Road, but when this location was redeveloped, Kirsten identified another shop unit, just a bit further up the road, and she opened Make & Do here in September 2013.
As well as selling a range of great fabrics and haberdashery items, Kirsten has been keen to develop Make & Do as a creative hub for the local community. She runs a range of sewing workshops where you can make items such as: children's pyjamas, handbags, a child's playtime tunic, lampshades, cushions, pencil cases and shopping bags. Kirsten welcomes enquiries from small groups of friends, businesses, community groups and schools regarding the development of bespoke workshops. Make & Do also run parties too.
She also runs a Craft Club for grown-ups every Friday evening. For £7 you can spend time with other creative people and make something to take home (this price includes all materials, tea, coffee and as much help as you need).
If you need a help with a sewing project – hand or machine sewn – there is also a Monday Sewing Surgery, which runs from 9.30 -11.00am and costs £5 per person.
Kirsten has designed a range of sewing project kits. Each kit contains everything you need to complete the project including clear, illustrated, step-by-step instructions. She also makes a variety of items such as aprons, memo boards and lampshades, for those who want something handmade but don't have time to make it themselves.
Kirsten is passionate about helping people to develop their creative skills and Make & Do is a real reflection of this passion. She is a great teacher and she has assembled a group of enthusiastic staff who help to sell items in the shop and deliver workshops. This team became invaluable last year when Kirsten became ill with Guillain-Barré syndrome (a rare and serious condition of the peripheral nervous system that occurs when the body's immune system attacks part of the nervous system.) The team ensured that business went on as usual and Kirsten is now glad to be back on the road to recovery and making plans for how Make & Do will develop over the next few years.
Fabrics, haberdashery items, kits and handmade items can be purchased from the Make & Do shop, but if you are not able to get to Brislington, you can also buy online. For more information about any of the products, workshops or other events at Make & Do, visit their website: http://www.mymakeanddo.co.uk.

Having been forced to play prop on the odd occasion (against my will), there were a few things I learnt pretty quickly…
1.It's a lot more tiring than you think
Yes, there may be endless jokes about them being the fat sods of the team, but the work they put in is seriously tough at times. There are times when props are expected to apply maximum force in a scrum for sustained periods before then having to lift at the line out before joining a maul, then have to rush to join the defensive line – it's a lot harder than you might think.
2.Technique beats size almost every time
When asked to play prop, I was by no means the smallest player in the front row, however I learnt pretty quickly that experience and technique trumps size every time. On more than one occasion I found myself getting dominated by an old bloke seemingly half my size who managed to get underneath me and get my head pointing in the wrong direction.
3.Even flankers have a big role to play in the scrum
It's amazing just how much difference having the flankers pushing properly makes. Although most people believe that the tight five are there for pushing and the flankers are there to cut off attacks, this is not the case. Having a flanker applying a suitable amount of force through their prop makes an incredible amount of difference to whether you go forwards or backwards in the scrum.
4.It's pretty easy to keep a scrum up
If you only watch professional rugby, you may be led to believe that there is a significant amount of difficulty in keeping scrums up. However when playing yourself you realise that it's really not that difficult, it's simply a case of players looking to gain an advantage. I can count on a single hand the number of times a scrum collapsed without someone going down deliberately.
5.The camaraderie is something else
There's a special kind of bond that exists between players in the front row. Spending that amount of time with your heads next to each other ensures everyone becomes friends pretty quickly even when you're trying to batter the hell out of each other. Whilst other players will also enjoy rugby's camaraderie, I can guarantee it is nothing like that experienced between front rowers.

This was my third time cruising and first with my 7-year-old daughter. The other two cruises were with Carnival. We chose Royal Caribbean because it was supposed to be a step up from Carnival (which has been described as the Wal-Mart of cruise lines).
Pre-cruise experience: By far this was as bad as it could possibly be. RCI's website is terrible. In fact, my experience(s) in trying to book excursions and other onboard activities were so bad that I may not book with RCI again unless they fix this. I spent roughly 12-14 hours on the phone with RCI (and my travel agent spent even more time on the phone with them) trying to book the Barbie Premium Experience which was/is advertised on the site and was advertised on the link for my personal cruise itinerary. While the agents were to a person, polite, none could give me a good answer as to why I couldn't book this experience for my daughter. At times I was told that it wasn't available, it was only available at a certain time of the year, it was only available on certain ships, it was only available if a certain number of people signed up (and how would they know if they wouldn't let us sign up?), and that I had waited too long to sign up for this experience. In any case, once on board the staff let us sign up, but there were only two girls...in part because of the frustrations with trying to get this.
Furthermore, getting the shore excursion(s) that we wanted was difficult as well. RCI, if you review the reviews about yourself, let it be known to whoever is in charge that for some of us, the pre-cruise experience is an important part of the vacation - anticipating and planning our cruise can be a lot of fun - and you are AWFUL at this portion of the vacation.
Embarkation - lines, but nothing out of the ordinary. Parking in NOLA isn't too bad if you do a little research. We parked at Fulton Street Garage (about $85 for the week in a covered spot). The shuttle to the terminal is about 5 minutes and the people are professional.
Onboard Experience
1. Cabin - We had a outside cabin. Previously with Carnival we've had an outside cabin on one and a balcony on another. The balcony is a game-changer. Not RCI's fault that I didn't pony up a little more cash to get that balcony. The room was comparable to Carnival's outside cabin. Cramped, but plenty of storage for your stuff if you know where to put things. Bringing a power strip makes a difference, too. Our cabin steward was a gem - super-friendly, very professsional, capable of keeping a 120 sq. ft. space with three humans in it clean and neat. The beds and pillows, on the other hand, were awful. I wasn't expecting my bed at home, but the linens are old and worn (showing frayed edges/hems/etc.), the pillows were all lumpy and weak, and the bed was thin and worn. RCI - time to spend a little cash on new beds.
2. Food - Our first cruise was 10 years ago on Carnival and our second cruise was last summer on Carnival. We noted that there was at least a half, if not full step down in quality. I was hoping that RCI's food would be more like what Carnival's was 10 years ago. I was disappointed. The Windjammer cafe (the open all the time buffet) was mediocre. The fruit was fresh, but the burgers were flat and stale, the coffee was bitter (change a filter every once in a while, RCI), and the casseroles were flat. The dining room food was better, but not well seasoned. Again, I was not expecting five- or even four-star dining, but Royal Caribbean is not better than Carnival. For the price, I was expecting better. The dining room staff was attentive and professional, friendly even. However, the food was exceedingly bland and not very flavorable. We had maybe two above average meals out of seven in the dining room. One other complaint: there was not a single lime on the whole ship! Seriously - not even in the bars! Coronas were served with lemons. Mojitos were served with lemons. How do you send a 2500 passenger cruise ship to sea without a single freaking lime?!? We did not eat at any of the for-pay restaurants.
3. Common spaces - The Serenade is a pretty ship. We sailed on the Conquest previously, so that is comparison I can make. The Serenade is not really showing age - the carpets and floors appeared clean and well-maintained. The elevators all worked the entire cruise. There are several neat areas including the Centrum (the central atrium) where there was a nice bar, sitting area, and several acrobatic shows. The Schooner Bar is a really neat space. The Casino is smallish and has more slots than table game seats, but I never had trouble getting a seat at the blackjack table if I wanted it. I confess that the production shows are really not our bag, so we didn't partake in the theater, but it looked to be spacious and well kept. One neat thing about the Serenade is that passengers can access the forward helipad. Anyone can get their Leo "King of the World!" on - something not possible on the Carnival Conquest. The large pool area on top was well attended with movies at night and the NCAA tournament on during the day. The kid's pool area was ok for my daughter and she loved the water slide, but the Serenade needs to upgrade the slide as well - it is small and slow and it looks like every other cruise ship on earth has a pretty neat one. A water slide isn't a deal-breaker for me, but it could use some work. The fitness center is large and has plenty of equipment. Classes were too advanced for the largely senior crowd on board.
4. Kid's Activities - Adventure Ocean was pretty neat. We hadn't taken advantage of this possibility before (on Carnival), so I don't have anything to compare it to, but our daughter had a great time. The staff was professional, friendly, and capable of dealing with kids of all ages. They also had plenty of security protocols in place so we felt secure leaving our daughter with them. I've written about the Barbie package already.
5. Ports of Call - Key West - only 5 hours? Really? RCI is obviously skimping on fuel costs by going super-slow (average about 12 knots) instead of spending a little extra time in port. I would have much more enjoyed the normal "get into port at 8am - leave at 6pm" than an 11am-4:30pm rush job. The Key West terminal/dock was nice and we had enough time to ride the Conch Train and see the Truman Little White House - nothing else. RCI - go 15-16 knots and give us more time in port!
Nassau - a run-down pit. Unless your bag is hanging at Senor Frogs or buying overpriced t-shirts and knick-knacks, you have to leave Nassau. We did by going on an excursion to Blue Lagoon Island for a dolphin encounter. This staff was also professional and friendly. It is ridiculously over-priced and then they charge even more for pictures and videos, but you gladly pay it because when are you going to get shots of your 7-year-old daughter grinning ear-to-ear while hugging a dolphin again. I can't really complain. Lots of other folks who went to Atlantis on Paradise Island said good things as well. The only real complaint I have about this port of call is that we were there from 1pm-11pm. Just a weird time. Would have preferred the 8am-5pm sort of option.
Coco Cay - Not surprisingly, we were unable to go ashore. The crew told us that they hadn't been able to tender to Coco Cay and had cancelled that port of call for over a month because of rough seas. It didn't take an experienced tar to know that there would have been major injuries and deaths had we tried to tender in 10-foot seas. Thanks to the captain for making a wise (but easy) decision. I won't be taking any more cruises in the springtime in the Bahamas to ports that require tendering. I wish that I had known that before this cruise and I would have chosen a different itinerary (probably in the western Caribbean).
Fellow Passengers - a late March cruise always will bring out the families and there were a ton of us. Lots and lots of seniors as well. I don't think I've ever seen so many rascals (or whatever those electric scooters that seniors ride on these days are called) in the same place before. If you were a single on this cruise hoping to find your true love or even just a hook-up, I bet you were exceedingly disappointed.
All in all, I was disappointed. I had a good vacation, but I expect a lot for the price that I pay when I go on a cruise. I had high hopes for Royal Caribbean, but those were definitely dashed. My family and I will cruise again. Not sure that I'll chose RCI - I'd definitely do Carnival over RCI considering the price - and if I'm going to pay RCI rates, I may try Norwegian or someone else next time.
Cramped for three people with a drop down bunk for kids over the "main" bed. A small porthole. Beds, pillows and linens are terrible. The couch is a decent loveseat and not made out of the hide of a recently slaughtered "Naugha" like on Carnival. Flatscreen tv with a few channels. Bathroom is small but well designed.

Glory awaits for those who seek for it. For those whose heart are in condition for change. Who receive the truth and allow the truth to penetrate in their lives. As I sit here and stare into space, my notebook candidly lays on my lap. The naked pages untouched. I think about all the things I want to do, should do and have to do. The dream of illuminating my goals cloud my head, directly blinding me from all the things I'm going through. The turbulence of my faith shakes me. It plasters itself between the neurons firing in my brain and in hindsight the image of the invisible God becomes what I fear to know.
In the glory of His presence. I question my very existence and the change I want to see in myself. I barely budge, as I lay in awe of His splendour. I'm shaken of what it exposes of me. How frail I am as a being. It saddens me to know that the change I want to be has raptured me to realize that I'm nothing short of human. Deception hugs me tightly and the journey awakens my soul. In a split second I see the image of tiny seeds gathered, being planted.
A mirrored vision, of a farmer who, joyfully, gathers his seeds becomes what is known; he loosely carries the seeds and is carelessly swayed as the seeds fall along the path he walks on. The intense hunger of the birds unashamedly gathers the seeds of her frail faith and eats it up. The farmer continues to plant and her soul takes a liking to the soil, as it softens her heart, she becomes naive to the whispers of the enemy. Drenched in lies, the seeds of her heart viciously hits the shallow concrete of reality. It stunts her growth. The sun biologically rises but the lack of her root results in her slowly falling away and being destroyed.
The calamity of life gets the best of her, deceitful tongues manipulate her. The lies planted in her heart are hypocritical examples of love and worldly affection. Weakened to the echoes of the estranged, the voice of the GREAT one is faintly tuned out. Crippled by the judgement of others and the persecution of pain, she lays broken and unyoked. As the soil of her heart rejects the truth, it weeds to vain pursuits. Giving up, she blindly patches up her open wounds of vulnerability to the pleasures of the world.
As the farmer continued to plant, some of her seeds fall on good ground and heart become deeply rooted in the soil. She bears the fruit of life and the words received penetrate deeply within her. Rooted, her foundation unshaken, she continued to bear good fruit. In her understanding, the gardner prunes her and cuts off any branch that does not produce fruit. She becomes more fruitful as she relies on the vine, the tender whispers of His word remind her, "Remain in me and I will remain in you "| John 15:4|. Good soil, produces many crops, however "no branch can bear fruit by itself, it must be deeply rooted in the vine " | John 15:4|. Her heart openly receives the truth, as she continues to use the words to bear fruit. In doing so, she grows and change becomes necessary.
In hindsight, I envied the seed that fought through it. She set all her goals to push through, not to give up. She allowed the word of God to be planted in her heart. She lured her mind to cut off the lies, the burdens and to destroy the pleasures, her flesh craved intensely for. I watched her go through the nights where tears rushed vigorously down her face and onto her pillow, but on those nights she silently whispered a prayer to the Lord of lords to help her get it right. She recited and memorized the eloquence of scripture "a righteous man falls seven times but I will rise again " | Proverbs 24: 16|. The power of the saviour redemption for her life reminded her not to give up. Change was necessary, growth was important, however, if she lost the sense of her reality she would remain the same person--she refused to become. From time to time sin knocked on her door but daily grace whispered to her heart, I love you and forgive you, come back to me and be the change you earnestly long for.
The new year puts us in great spirits of setting fresh new goals. However, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what will stimulate real change in our lives. I used the Parable of the Sower | Matthew 13:19-24|
and personified the seed(s), to give us a sense of the truth in which occurs when we fall and become slaves to the lies and the deceptions of the world. True change occurs when our hearts receive the word of God, and in spite of what comes our way, we allow the word to be the foundation in which we live. Life gets hard, things don't always go as planned. We set goals and sometimes, unfortunately, things occur and we are unable to complete them. I want this post to encourage you to set goals and make new year resolutions, but also to remind you that if things don't work out as you planned; you will diligently be the seed that fell on good soil, who received the word of God and pushed through regardless of what is going on. I prompt you to look to Christ, for in him the change we want to be are the seeds of his word that we plant in our hearts.
Reminder: For his Glory, but for your Good!
for the sake of love,

I'm sharing an excerpt today from The Dragon's Cave, my first middle grade novel. It's up for nomination on Kindle Scout (please, please, please go and nominate it?).
Seamus opened his eyes, blinking to make out the picture in front of him. Treetops. Filtered sunlight. The air smelled woodsy.
"Seamus, what are you doing, boy? Taking a nap?" a man's voice said, his English—or was it Scottish?—accent unfamiliar.
Seamus scrambled to his feet and dusted himself off. And then froze.
What was he wearing? Tights? Leather lace-up boots? And where on earth was he? It appeared to be some sort of meadow, not…his mind grew fuzzy trying to remember where he had just come from. All he remembered was the brightest flash of light he'd ever seen.
"Seamus!" the man snapped.
His head jerked up, and he realized the older man was speaking to him. "Yeah?"
The man frowned. "You mean, yes, sir."
Bewildered, he peered around for some clue to help him understand where he was and what was happening. A flicker of panic bubbled up in his chest. Realizing the man waited for a response, he said, "Yes, sir?"
"Come. Supper is ready." The man wore strange clothing—a cream-colored tunic with the emblem of a crimson dragon embroidered on the front, like a knight from the Medieval Dinner Theatre where his mom once dragged him. Something about the knight seemed familiar, although he had never seen his face before.
He glanced down and realized he, too, wore a tunic with a crimson dragon. Was this some crazy dream? He touched his face. Who was he? Did he appear different? Had he somehow fallen into another boy's body? Some kid in medieval Scotland? A tickle on his neck made him bring his hand back to find shoulder-length hair. He pulled it out to see the color—a darker brown than his sandy-blond mop back home.
The knight's eyebrows drew together. "Come on, boy, what is the matter with you tonight?" He didn't wait for an answer, just turned and walked away while Seamus trotted to keep up. They entered a clearing where many other knights milled about, some sitting on logs and rocks eating, some standing and talking. A large tent on one side bore the same dragon emblem they wore on their tunics. A fire burned in the middle of the clearing, and a large kettle hung over it, suspended by a chain and a tripod of sticks.
The sight of a boy his age made goose bumps prick his skin. Andy. The memory of their parting scene came back in a rush—Lacey falling in the wash, Andy's joy that he couldn't race, the bolt of lightning… Had it struck him? Had he died and come here, to this place? It sure didn't seem like any version of heaven he'd ever imagined. Nor did it appear to be hell or even purgatory. What was this—medieval times?
The Dragon's Cave
A DRAGON'S TREASURE. A GREEDY KING. ONLY ONE BOY CAN RESTORE BALANCE BEFORE THE MOUNTAIN IMPLODES. Seamus's day couldn't get any worse. His best friend stops speaking to him, his cross-country coach benches him, and lightning strikes him down, right in front of his middle school. But it does get worse. When he wakes up from the lightning, he finds himself trapped in the body of a squire in medieval Scotland, preparing to face a dragon.

Three downtown buildings viewed from the Empire State Plaza. From left to right, the Legislative Office Building, the Old State Education Building, and the New York State Capitol.
1 comment:
This photo has a lot of depth to it. Each building has its own symmetry within the picture and within the building itself, it's almost as if each building represent one of the layers which add depth to the picture. Plus, I like to think that each object is dated, somehow to some architectural fad of a certain time period. I don't know how I feel about the trees. They seem kind of in the way but, unfortunately, the picture wouldn't look as good without them.ReplyDelete
After making those comments I think it's fair to say that this is a really cool picture of downtown Albany.

Tattoo that we mentioned earlier, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is following on a month later in November holding down Windows Mobile 6.5 with its positively mind-bending customized home screen. Also notable is the Samsung "Genio," known globally as the recently-announced Corby -- Samsung intended it as an entry-level full-touch phone for the younger crowd, and to that end, Voda looks to be selling it on prepaid. It's gotta be a tough call deciding what to buy next for subscribers, but if you ask us, that's a positively awesome problem to have.

Co-op Heaven – Mad for Mixed-Income
Real Estate BisNow
There's a perception that market-rate buyers in NYC are hesitant to buy in mixed-income developments. But the 75% affordable, 25% market-rate Atlantic Terrace at 212 South Oxford in Brooklyn is proving the perception wrong. We met with Fifth Avenue Committee exec director Michelle de la Uz (and her lovely 'just because' floral arrangement), whose non-profit, along with partners Mega Contracting and Magnusson Architecture and Planning, developed the 80-unit one-, two-, and three-bedroom co-ops, of which 59 are subsidized. There's tremendous demand in this neighborhood, she says, pointing out that 75% of the units are now sold, including 50% of the market rate units—and 5,000 people signed up for a supervised lottery of the 59 affordable units. "People are attracted to New York City because of this diversity," she says. "Brooklyn has been undergoing a rapid gentrification, and now teachers and musicians are living among corporate executives." (Perhaps the Brooklynites can give the world a lesson on living in harmony. And a lesson in really tight pants and vinyl records.)
But why co-op? Michelle says there was more attractive financing available, particularly from the NYC Housing Development Corporation. These savings will then trickle down to the residents, assuring affordability for the long-term. Also, closing costs are lower, removing another barrier to entry. The building, which is part of the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area, is a brownfield redevelopment of a former gas station site and is one of the City's "Cornerstone Projects" of housing built for first-time homebuyers. FAC originally submitted a proposal that was 50% affordable and 50% market rate, but due to increased demand for affordable homeownership opportunities and the desire to expand the level of affordability to more moderate and middle-income families, the project is now 75% affordable for families at a range of incomes, with 25% available for market-rate purchasers.
But even though the co-ops are affordable and market-rate, they certainly feel at home among the luxury residential buildings dotting Brooklyn's skyline. The building, which was built to LEED Gold standards, includes bamboo flooring, countertops made at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and cabinets made in Williamsburg and Gowanus (were the staging props sourced from the Red Hook IKEA?). Seven of the market-rate units are duplexes, and include private terraces overlooking the borough and up-and-close views of the new Barclays Center—it's like built-in season tickets. There's also a community room and landscaped terrace for all of the residents. Overall, FAC has 1k mixed units in development in Brooklyn and has developed and manages locations in Red Hook, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens, and Sunset Park (fun fact: the first co-op in NYC was established in Sunset Park by Finnish immigrants in the early 1900s).

So many people have been asking how I managed to write a book that I'm starting to wonder whether I should be feeling a little insulted. Yeah okay, so I produced something that someone, in a moment of either extraordinary generosity or extraordinary folly, decided to publish. But me succeeding in releasing a book isn't, like, one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse or anything. Or at least I hope it isn't – WikiAnswers is worryingly inconclusive on the subject.
The question has been particularly popular with people who know me well, which is no surprise really – my most outstanding talent is generally agreed to be procrastination. So I guess it is a bit of a surprise that someone who isn't able to complete a tax return on time might have a bit of difficulty completing 70,000 words which, when read consecutively, make at least some degree of sense.
The reason people ask, of course, is that like running, singing and laughing at Peter André and Jordan, writing is one of those things that we've all done a bit of ourselves. I know for certain I haven't got a Nobel Prize-winning theorem in me, or a shot at the Tour de France, but like most people who enjoy reading books, I'd always wondered about writing one.
Actually, the answer of how I did it is simple. I enrolled in a creative writing Masters at UTS, and did a bunch of courses, after which I'd written about 60,000 words. After all that work, it wasn't that much more strenuous to polish it up into a first draft, which I sent to publishers.
But of course that's not the answer people want to hear. I remember, because the question used to absolutely fascinate me way back in my B.N., or Before Novelist period. And yes, I know this sounds a bit patronising, but hell, I just wrote 70,000 words that some people, at least in my immediate family, have actually bought – I've a right to be slightly smug.
The answer people want to hear is the one that explains a great mystery – how on earth you actually discipline yourself to do all that writing. A Masters deadline helps, but it doesn't explain how you actually do the assigments. The thought of writing all those words sounds to most people like a quirky variant of waterboarding where your clothes stay dry. And even after I'd written the first 6000 words of my novel, for an assignment, the prospect of pushing it up to 70,000 seemed more painful a prospect than hammering rusty nails into the soles of one's feet, or doing the publicity for Dick Cheney's forthcoming autobiography.
But during my Masters, one of the things we learned us was how other people do it. Authors love nothing more than writing pieces explaining how they write, and we read dozens of them while I was studying. Every author has their own approach, which they insist is the definitive solution which all wannabe writers must adopt. And the hilarious thing is, every writer is utterly different. Some exhaustively plan their novels, and write full, detailed biographies for every character, while some let them flow spontaneously from their subconscious. Some rouse themselves at 4am each morning and perform callisthenics before settling in, while others burn the midnight oil. Some writers plough through all day, some stop when they've hit a specific target. There really is no secret.
To cite some famous examples, JK Rowling writes in an Edinburgh Starbucks, which isn't something I could possibly recommend because it's hard to concentrate when you're gagging on terrible coffee. While Roald Dahl had a shed in his garden in which he would always have exactly six sharpened yellow pencils, which sounds more like a basis for diagnosing obsessive compulsive disorder than a surefire technique that should be adopted by other writers.
Every aspiring writer wants to know how they can actually make themselves do the work. The glib answer is that you have to have self-discipline. But frankly, I don't. So I essentially tricked myself into writing the novel. See, I hate working, but I love cafés. Knowing this, I would take myself off to my favorite café, and sit there for an hour or two, having a coffee. I get bored easily, so to avoid the tedium of my own company, I'd pull out my laptop (with no internet or games on it – that's essential!) and write. And once I actually started tapping away, I found it fairly easy to concentrate, and I wouldn't let myself go home until I'd written 1000 words, and edited the last 1000 words I wrote. (I'm lucky to write fast, but if you set your own target at 250 words a day, that'll still work.)
I also had an incentive scheme where once I'd finished, I gave myself a reward. Sometimes it was an arcade game if there was one near the café, sometimes a bit of browsing in a music store, and sometimes even a gelato. Yeah, it was really literary.
But the biggest reward was that, to my surprise, I really, really enjoyed doing the writing. It made me feel like, well, a real writer, like I'd always dreamed of being. Sometimes I'd work in a bookshop café, like the one at Kinokuniya or Berkelouw's in Paddington, and imagine what it would be like to see my work on the shelves around me. In other words, I'd daydream – but it worked as an incentive.
So if you want to know how other writers do it, you're actually asking the wrong question, in my opinion. What you need to ask yourself is how can you make yourself write. No-one else can answer that for you. For me, it took deadlines imposed by a university course that was so expensive that I simply wouldn't let myself drop out – and most importantly, yielding to my own personality. That is, I ended up working with my flaws rather than trying to overcome them. I would love to get up at dawn and write every morning, right after I go to the gym for an hour and bake fresh crusty bread rolls for the homeless. But the fact is, I never will. So I made writing a pleasurable activity, and before I knew it, I'd written a whole book.
There is one downside to this. I've now carefully trained myself only to work in cafés – in any other environment, I will simply procrastinate. And to be honest, the café habit is getting expensive, and I'm doubtlessly eating way too much gelato. Still, at least I've found a way to make myself do the work. And as my friends will tell you, that's something of a miracle. In all honesty, I can hardly believe I did it either. Perhaps it is one of the signs of the Apocalypse after all?

I just read your signed copy of the Thrill of the Chase. I enjoyed it all
the way through. When I read the segment on Skippy's passing I was set back
for a minute. That is why I am writing to you. It was astonishing how he
passed and the similarities to my story. You see, I took a cruise with my
wife. We went to Cozumel and took a scuba diving adventure. At about 20 to
30 feet in depth, I stopped her, and in my best attempt, proposed to her
underwater using my redneck form of sign language and theatrics. She
squeezed my hand firmly. With her goggles steaming, bubbles spewed out of
her mask as she said yes. Odd how some journeys end and how some begin. Bless you sir,

Silver Shrink Mirror is a metalized plastic laminate. During manufacture, while the material is hot, it is stretched both across the web and linearly. This orientation builds in a tension. When sufficient heat is applied, the material "unlocks" and returns to its original state. To make a mirror, the material is held securely on four sides, heat is applied and the material shrinks. This shrinking effect produces a lightweight, self-extinguishing, distortion-free mirror surface. The process is simple and easy to learn.
Building The Frame
Since the shrinking action generates substantial pressure, a strong frame is required.
Square tube metal, angle iron, or wood will work. If wood is the choice, five quarter or 2"x 2" (5cm x 5cm) lumber is the minimum size.
It is important to elevate the mirror surface °" (6mm) off the stile, rail and toggle by bevelling the flat edge or adding a °" (6mm) lip on the outside of the flat. (See Figure 1). This will prevent the frame from showing through after the mirror has shrunk.
Stiles and toggles (bracing) should be placed no more than three feet from one another. To assure frame integrity, all joints should be welded or glued and screwed.
Mounting The Material
The Shrink Mirror should be applied to the frame in the same manner as one would apply muslin to a flat.
Begin at the center, pull material taut working from opposite sides. Work toward the corners, eliminating all wrinkles (very important). Tape the material to the flat using a good quality gaffers tape. Staple every 4 inches (10cm) through the tape and Shrink Mirror. (The taping will eliminate tearing around the staples in the shrinking process.) Be sure that the corners are free of wrinkles and these are stapled securely to the frame. This will produce a wrinkle-free mirror (See Figure 2).
Double stick polyurethane tape can be used to attach the material to metal frames. The same technique should be employed as with a wooden frame.
Note: Rosco Shrink Mirror may appear wrinkled or uneven before it is shrunk with heat. These wrinkles disappear, however, after the material is placed on a frame and heat is applied. When heated properly, Rosco Shrink Mirror will appear smooth and evenly reflective.
Heating And Shrinking
Some practice is needed to develop the proper technique for the shrinking process.
An industrial heat gun, or the heating surface of a vacuum form machine, will work to adequately warm the material. (A hair dryer, pressing iron or light bulb will not work.)
A temperature in excess of 400 degrees F (200°C) is necessary to shrink the mirror. Begin heating the material in the center of the silver side (The material can also be heated from the back). Heat in ever widening circles, chasing wrinkles toward the edges and corners. In the case of a bank of heat lamps, slowly move the material past the lamps, chasing the wrinkles toward the end of the flat. Occasionally remove the heat from the material and allow it to cool. If wrinkles occur in sections you have already shrunk, simply reheat and repeat the process. Stay no longer in an area than you would if your hand was directly in front of the heat source. Most heat sources should be kept about five inches (12 cm) away from the film.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid overheating the plastic. Just prior to melting a hole in the material, a trace of smoke can be observed. If this occurs, immediately remove the heat source, otherwise a "blushing" or melting will occur on the surface. We recommend you make a small practice mirror to get the feel of shrinking before you commit to a large surface.
Cleaning Instructions
Use Windex or similar ammonia glass cleaner with a soft cloth. Rinse with water. Clean very carefully using only clean, soft cloths.

Diving Into the New Magento 2 Features for Marketers & Merchandisers
As you've probably heard, Magento 2 has a lot of amazing new features – from a completely redesigned admin panel, to technical updates and everything in between.
Magento 1 was primarily built by developers and most knowingly worked on by developers, making it harder for less technical users to navigate. Merchants with little technical knowledge and no coding background usually found Magento difficult to use.
Some would end up spending hours and hours learning how to change one simple feature, or some would have to hire a development agency to help them out. As a marketing professional, these technical obstacles can make it hard to work on Magento sites, but with the new marketing and merchandising features, it will make your life a bit easier!
Before we dive in, let's take a look at the new Marketing Menu. Magento 2 has almost everything you'd need as a marketer right there in one view for you. In this portion, you'll see options broken up into 4 different categories: Promotions, Communications, SEO & Search, and User Content.
With the Magento 2 marketing feature, you can dynamically display content, promotions, and pricing targeted to certain customers based on their gender, location, order history and much more. Showing your customers what they want to see – like items they'd be interested in or free shipping to their state – will result in more sales.
Magento 2 Marketing Menu
The Enterprise Edition also includes customer segmentation. Customer segmentation and personalization is a very vital part of marketing. Segmenting your customers will help you better market to them. And by providing a personalized shopping experience, it will help boost conversion rates.
Magento 2 also makes it easy to set up promotions that come into play when certain conditions are met. For instance, say you want to offer a 25% discount code to a visitor on your site that added $100 worth of products to their cart but didn't check out, you can do that. You can also target unknown site visitors based on the products they have viewed or items in their cart.
Visual merchandising is another new feature in Magento 2! It is such an important aspect in retail stores but is also equally as important for ecommerce sites. Well-done visual merchandising is intended to engage and inspire customers, and encourage them to buy more products – all of which would increase sales!
With Magento 2, it is now easier to boost conversion rates and cut the time it takes to optimize product category pages. The upgraded platform now comes with a suite of tools that lets you easily and visually manage product merchandising. There is also a drag-and-drop interface that lets you manually position products, or you can use the automated sorting rules to organize your category pages. The automated sorting rules allow you to showcase items like the best selling products, newest products or even the highest-margin products. Quickly create landing pages in half the time!
Communication with your customers also ties in with promotions. In this day and age, sending out a blanketed, generic email to all of your customers isn't as beneficial as it may have been in the past. With Magento 2, you can now customize emails and newsletters sent from your store. You're able to create templates to send out for everything from welcome emails to drip campaigns. The templates are similar to other email marketing systems in the way that you can customize each email to include the customer's name or their sale rep's name.
In the Enterprise Edition, you have the availability to setup automated email marketing campaigns. These triggered email reminders can be based off of different conditions, such as x amount of time since the customer abandoned their cart. You're also able to send email reminders with discount or coupon codes to encourage customers to return to your website and make a purchase. Implementing automated email reminders is a good strategy to improve your sales in the long run.
SEO & Search
With the SEO & Search features in Magento 2, marketers are able to add search terms and synonyms to ensure that someone using a search engine will land on your site and/or product page. The latest SEO capabilities are built in to Magento, ensuring that rich snippets and reviews are accessible easily by Google.
In Magento Enterprise Edition, you will have access to Elasticsearch as well. It is one of the best catalogue search tools for ecommerce. It's able to handle and filter through large catalogues and has support for 33 languages (out of the box). Elasticsearch also offers suggestions to customers who may misspell what they are looking for and lets you attribute weighting to certain words.
You're also able to adjust synonym management Magento Admin Panel to ensure that customers who are searching products on your site will get what they are looking for! For example, if customers often search for content pages, like shipping charges or return policies, you can easily redirect their search to the appropriate page.
User Content
You can now keep track of user-generated reviews in the new User Content section. This section lets you look over your on-site customer reviews and gives a detailed description of them. You can search the review database to see more information and filter by certain attributes like type of product, SKU, or even the title of the review. Hopefully all of your reviews are great ones, but if not, you can approve or hide a review if you'd like as well.
User-generated reviews are very beneficial to any ecommerce site because it gives your customers a sense of community and a feeling of trust. According to a report from BrightLocal, 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. These are pretty high numbers. Not only do genuine and honest online reviews help consumers decide on products to purchase, but also helps with SEO.
Magento is already the leading platform in ecommerce, and now with the new features and easy usability of Magento 2, it is sure to stay at the forefront of ecommerce. The power of Magento is unmet, especially with the new additions that are tailored towards marketers and merchandisers.

I'm asking if anyone else has experienced such problems with the 3A90 (1.0 L) engine. Please report!
My car has about 20 000 km on it, and is only used for long-distance driving. It had no history of any problems at all. The engine is 1L, 3A90, no AS&G and consequently no EGR. Remember, this is a non direct fuelinjection engine, fuel is injected before the combustion chambers and not into them.
Coming home after a 300km drive on the autobahn, driving at 100 - 130kmh, the car was parked in the garage. Next morning it refused to start, but cranked normally and began smelling like fuel.
After telling the dealer about the problem, he said it would take 3 or four days in the workshop, but perhaps longer, and
Mitsubishi would see the bill taken care of. After all, the car is under waranty and there is a mobility garantee.
I asked him how he could tell without having even seen the car. He replied he'd already seen numerous with that problem in his tiny workshop...
On the following day using a mini endoscope camera, the dealer confirmed the problem. The intake valves were not closed because of massive "gunk" or carbon deposits all over the intake valves.The massive buildup did not allow the valves to close, and without closed valves no compression, no starting. He reported the problem to Mitsubishi, asked for permission to perform the waranty repairs, and ordered the parts Mitsubishi allowed him to replace.
The next day the cylinder head was removed, valves removed and cleaned manually. The removed carbon deposits were "hard as rock". The original valves were to be put back in and grinded in the late afternoon or next day, which is tomorrow.
I will keep you posted on this matter, but am travelling throughout Europe and don't always have Internet.
Update:immmediatly after repair:
It seems this issue is not uncommon in 3A90 engines.
A local service-provider with five or six SpaceStar's has seen the same problem at least once with each one, albeit at maybe half the milage. Their Space Star (Mirage) are used for short-distance customer to customer hauls, and are equipped with AS&G. The A390 with AS&G supposedly have EGR, the non-AS&G don't.
The dealer said, there will come a new software for these engines sometime in the unspecified future, which should address and hopefully remedy this problem. Currently no new software is available for this car yet...
UPDATE, March 12 2016
1) The dealer briefly showed me a picture of badly fouled exhaust valves, but did not let me take either the photo with me or to photograph or copy it. He said:"The picture (supposedly of my car's valves) is Mitsubishi property and may not be disclosed, copied or given away!"
2) Since the repair, I have noticed higher fuel consumption and lower top speed. Driving to work the bult-in display showed around 4.3 to 4.5 L/100km before repair, and now afterward always more than 5L/100km, usually about 5.2L/100km. The top speed on a flat autobahn with no wind was displayed at around 172-175kmh according to the car's speedo. Now it reaches around 160kmh under the same conditions.
After visiting the dealer about this, I was told new software was flashed into the ECU.
I hope to find out more, or get the situation resolved.
I will post updates.
UPDATE September 2019
Valves look just as clean as ever. Perfectly clean, just as inside combustion chambers.
Ever since the car was "repaired" and carbon removed, the compression has been much lower at around 9bar (about 130 psi) on all cylinders, and fuel consumption is consequently about 10% or so higher than before. This car has a compression ratio of 11.5 : 1 and therefore compression should be much better.
Does anybody have the official figures for compression of the 3A90? I do have the figures for the 3A92, but they don't apply.

The Green Party is pleased to see our growing awareness of the need to adopt a positive, proactive approach to waste management. Sadly, the recent Forfas report found that Ireland came worst out of 10 countries surveyed in terms of waste production. Factors influencing this rating include growing waste production and weaknesses in our domestic recycling infrastructure. We have practical proposals for dealing with these concerns. We can reduce our waste with the following actions:
- Ensure that shops are complying with the law and not handing out plastic bags without charge
- Introduce a beverage container charge to ensure that bottles and cans are re-used
- Establish a Waste Management Agency, which could provide start-up grants for companies making products out of recycled material; this will create jobs and reduce the cost now being incurred by having to export our waste
- Improve the number, scope and opening hours of "bring centres"
- Make provision for kerbside collection of bulky materials, catering particularly for those without access to a car
Introduction of these and similar measure will reduce the amount of illegal dumping
Waste recycling is complicated by the great diversity of facilities provided, both by waste collectors and by local bring centres.
Contact your waste collector to find out what they provide; some companies provide additional services e.g. one-off collection of specific items, confidential shredding, glass collection etc.
Limerick County Council offer a range of services; these are fairly well documented at What can I recycle and where?
For general bulk waste disposal, and particularly for those without a car, there is a Baby Skip facility; you buy the baby skip, which is an easily portable collapsable bag, available in 1 ton and 2 ton sizes, and arrange for collection; pay by card. This is much cheaper than a conventional skip and has the advantage of greater flexibility.
If you have a vehicle the Limerick Civic Amenity Centres offer a good service; the best in the Limerick area is probably Mungret. Be aware that these facilities are very specific about what they will accept and will not generally accept non-recyclable waste; service is either free or very reasonable.
Heggarty metals on the Ballysimon Road offer metal recycling; they now have a domestic section where you can drop off anything metal, including domestic electrical goods and computer equipment; no charge.
If you have a garden, no matter how small, consider starting a compost heap; Limerick County Council have a Home composting mini guide; they also supply compost bins cheaper than garden centres. Composting not only provides a valuable resource for your garden, particularly for growing vegetables, but also reduces your non-recyclable waste – and keeps your waste "cleaner"

" Great Environment "
Very spacious and conducive coworking space for work and networking. All the tables are fitted with built-in power sockets so it's super convenient to charge your gadgets. There's a cozy rest area for people to take naps or if they need to lie down for a while. The games room/area has a foosball table and it seems more games will be added in soon. Small and functional pantry with complimentary coffee & tea. There are several meeting rooms and also a conference room available. Lockers provided for members to use as well on a first-come-first-serve basis. The other side of Settlements houses the private suites and fixed desk space. More serious look & feel there which I guess most companies would prefer. Very reasonable rates and packages offered. There is a cafe and hotel within the same building as well. A lot of local food and cafes just a walking distance from the building.
Tip from user
Make use of all the facilities provided! You'll feel more at home. Talk to the receptionist to get more acquainted with the surroundings :)

"Co-working at it's best"
Had the opportunity to visit with a tour on the soft opening day. Spend my day working there till almost closing. It was very productive for me as the environment actually gave me a stress less feeling while replying my work emails and whenever I just needed to move around to think, I can do so without worrying that my belongings would be taken. Their work view is fantastic as well having sight of the heritage area. Free coffee is definitely a plus. Would definitely recommend this to my friends. Oh!!! The seafood aglio olio at ground floor cafe called More by Arang is just fantastic.

Seems like Parisienne born Brit actress Emma Watson has finally tired of being Hermione Granger out of the Harry Potter films and wants to grow up and live a little.
Currently studying in the USA where she's apparently been asked out on dates by loads of fat lads, Emma resorted to chopping her hair off and adopting an elfin look, rather than go out to diners with guys who only want to talk about wrestling and cars.
Emma, according to sources, told Skoob Entertainment News that she's grown a little tired of playing little miss wholesome, and that she wouldn't mind getting down and dirty, being a bit phoarr! and that.
Which in turn led to rumours that she may be interested in hooking up with US wild child Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless, for a raunchy gig or two.
Miss Momsen, who recently hit the headlines by flashing her breasts at an exclusive New York gig is said to be unaware of any intention by Emma Watson to guest appear with The Pretty Reckless, but sources say she'd be willing to give it a go, because basically she's game for anything. Allegedly.
Emma Watson refused to talk to SEN point blank.
So we asked SEN supremo Buffty Ginslinger what he thinks.
"It's a nonsense story!" he guffawed. "Taylor Momsen's just a kid out to shock, using a tried and tested formula. Emma Watson wants the public to see her as a grown woman rather than a schoolkid. If you ask me, Sid Vicious had the right idea. Now fuck off!"
More when we get back.

Best Egg is an online lending platform that offers personal loans with competitive rates and quick turnaround times. While it might not use blockchain yet, it's able to get you funding in as fast as one business day after applying.
Best Egg and Upgrade are crowd favorites, both scoring the same 9.5 out of 10 rating on Trustpilot. They also charge similar origination fees — Best Egg's range from 0.99% to 5.99% compared to Upgrade's 1% to 6%. And both offer loans terms of 3 years or 5 years. Best Egg beats Upgrade when it comes to its rates, charging 5.99% to 29.99% — capped nearly a full 6% below Upgrade's. And while Best Egg doesn't serve borrowers in Iowa, Vermont, West Virginia, Puerto Rico or Guam, borrowers from Connecticut, Colorado, Maryland and Massachusetts can qualify.
What Best Egg doesn't offer is a wide range of loan amounts: It only offers loans from $2,000 to $35,000. It has a slightly higher credit score requirement of 640, compared to Upgrade's 620.
Prosper helped bring peer-to-peer (p2p) lending to the US when it launched in 2005. Instead of directly funding loans like Upgrade, it connects borrowers with investors who collect on interest.
Prosper and Upgrade offer around the same APR range of 7.95% to 35.99%. Its origination fees are similar — though Prosper's maximum is one percentage point lower at 5%. And like with Upgrade, borrowers can choose between loan terms of 3 years and 5 years. Prosper is available in several states where Upgrade isn't, namely Connecticut, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts and Vermont. You can't qualify for a Prosper loan if you live in Iowa, North Dakota or West Virginia, however.
If you go with Prosper, keep in mind that you can't borrow as much as you would with Upgrade: Its loan amounts range from $2,000 to $40,000. It also requires borrowers to have a slightly higher credit score of 640 to qualify, and you might not get your funds as fast, since your loan relies on investors.
Like Upgrade, SoFi brings in borrowers with its extra perks: Mentorship programs, networking opportunities and career and financial advice. SoFi might be better known for its student loan refinancing, but it also offers personal loans at competitive rates. Part of its goal is to give high-earning young professionals access to financing that they might not have known was an option.
SoFi's loans come in larger amounts than Upgrade's, ranging from $5,000 to $100,000. Its rates are also capped much lower, ranging from 5.99% to 18.28% if you choose a fixed APR and 5.74% to 14.70% if you go with a variable APR. These rates include a 0.25% discount for enrolling in automatic payments. SoFi also doesn't charge any fees — not even late or returned check charges. Since its loan amounts are higher, it also offers longer loan terms of 24 to 84 months.
SoFi might be available in more states than Upgrade, but residents of Mississippi will have to look elsewhere. You're also out of luck if you only need between $1,000 and $4,999 in financing.
Upgrade cofounder and CEO Renaud Laplache was actually a cofounder and CEO of LendingClub until he resigned in 2016. His resignation came after a scandal where he sold $22 million in loans to an investor with a potential conflict of interest. Laplache went directly from LendingClub to start Upgrade with Soul Htite.
There are some major differences between the two companies. Unlike Upgrade, LendingClub is a p2p lender that offers a wide range of loan products, including business loans, car refinancing and medical financing. It's also won several awards, and a spot on Forbes' list of America's Most Promising Companies of 2014. Lending terms of 3 years or 5 years and APRs from 10.68% to 35.89% are comparable to Upgrade. Even its origination fees of 1% to 6% are identical. However, LendingClub is offered in all states except Iowa or West Virginia. Its APR range from and is comparable to Upgrade.
LendingClub caps its personal loans lower than Upgrade, at $40,000. It also can take longer for you to get your loan, since they're investor-funded: As little as 4 days. LendingClub has a higher credit score cut-off of 660.
LightStream is an online lending division of SunTrust Bank, a Southeastern regional bank — and one of the largest in the country. LightStream's loans are a bit larger than Upgrade with loans between $5,000 and $100,000. When it comes to paying back your loan, you can choose from a term as short as 2 years to as long as 7 years.
LightStream offers competitive fixed and variable interest rates, though it doesn't give a range. And if you're worried about Upgrade's credit requirements, this loan isn't for you — it favors borrowers with good or excellent credit. You also need to have a specific use in mind to qualify, so you can't borrow funds for several different purposes.
FreedomPlus is the lending branch of the Freedom Financial Network, which specializes in getting customers out of debt. Other members of the network include Freedom Debt Relief and Bills.com. As you might expect, FreedomPlus specializes in debt consolidation loans, offering discounted rates to borrowers who use at least half of their loan to pay off existing debt.
FreedomPlus offers lower APRs than Upgrade, ranging from 7.99% to 29.99%. And rates aren't just based on your credit score — if you have $40,000 in retirement savings or apply with a cosigner, you can qualify for a discount. When it comes to paying back your loan, FreedomPlus also has a wider range of terms than Upgrade, from 2 years to 5 years.
However, FreedomPlus offers a more narrow lending limit, between $7,500 and $40,000. It can also take longer to get your funds than you would through Upgrade. Loans are not available in Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, West Virginia or Wyoming.
Formerly the student loan branch of Darien Rowayton Bank (DRB), Laurel Road now also offers personal loans to borrowers with good credit who make at least $60,000 a year. You'll want to check out this lender instead of Upgrade if you're a medical professional — doctors and dentists are eligible for lower rates and higher amounts than anyone else. Medical residents can also take advantage of Laurel Road's $25 minimum monthly repayments while they're completing their program.
Everyone else can borrow from a similar range as Upgrade, with loans starting at $1,000 and capping at $45,000. Loan terms fall within the same range, though with Laurel Road you can choose between 3, 4 or 5 years to pay off your loan. Its APRs are also more competitive, ranging from 7.50% to 24.75%.
Laurel Road requires a credit score of at least 680 to be eligible for a personal loan, which is higher than Upgrade's requirement. However, you do have the option of bringing on a creditworthy cosigner to help you meet its credit and income requirements.
