You will receive an email with links to branded and un-branded versions of the video. Facebook post will be made with branded version of tour, and finally a link will be emailed where you can download both versions.
Real estate videos are generally shot with very strict deadlines in mind. To that end, we strive to have our videos completed, edited and uploaded by the very next day so you may get them listed and on the MLS. The fast turnaround time and long editing and compression times, coupled with the need to keep prices low prevent us from offering standard options that may be offered with other types of video production.
Each video takes more than 5+ hours in transcoding, editing, and compression for the web. Any changes, no matter how insignificant they seem, require a complete re-edit and recompression of the material for both branded and unbranded versions, so there is no such thing as "a small change". Therefore, we do not offer previews, and do not offer client edits (as we do for videos for other industries that cost well over $500).
We will happily correct any errors that we make at no charge. Any additional editing, changes, etc. that you would like made after the fact will be billed at $100 per hour of post production. If there are specific rooms you do or don't want filmed, or specific narrative or contact information please submit it to us, please be sure everything is correct before the video is edited.
All payments are due upon booking, this is done to ensure we can keep our cost as low as possible. Payments are fully refundable if shoot is canceled 72 hours prior. We understand cancelations are possible after 72 hours and will issue a full credit towards another location providing notification is given 24 hours prior to scheduled time. If notification is provided less than 24 hours prior to shoot a 50% credit will be issued towards another location.

L&G submits plans for suburban build-to-rent scheme
2 July 2021 | Construction
Developer L&G has submitted plans for a £70m build-to-rent housing site in North Horsham.
The development will aim to deliver 124 Suburban Build To Rent (SBTR) homes and 97 homes for social rent, affordable rent and shared ownership. The scheme is the second build-to-rent suburban housing development to be launched in 2021, following on from the rise in urban build-to-rent apartments in recent years.
L&G will use its modular housing factory in Yorkshire to support the North Horsham scheme by carrying out offsite construction.
James Lidgate, who heads the housebuilding operations for L&G, said: "This site represents the first step for Legal & General to expand its current strategic land capabilities into master development."
L&G chief executive Nigel Wilson said the development would flip the approach to delivering social infrastructure for the area. "This new approach, which prioritises developing important infrastructure for local areas in the first building phase Legal & General has helped advance the completion of the infrastructure for a new school, Bohunt School, to bolster high quality options for nearby families." The new school could open in 2022, the company said.

Electrochemical Deburring (ECD) meets the needs for deburring small automotive components because it has short cycle times, can deburr multiple parts at the same time, and is a reliable automatic process. Gasoline fuel systems components, armatures, airbag diffusers are examples of components requiring the positive deburring of multiple holes, which are being successfully produced with ECD. Other ECD applications include gear teeth and joint faces and locking slots in forged connecting rods.

John's nightmare begun when he moved to Chicago and lived on Tram Street. The young man was broke, so he couldn't afford a better place than the infamous Chicago South Side. When he left home, all Reiff family was upset with his behavior. But John didn't mind that. He remembered the day, when he moved to Tram Street 31 (or Tram 31 as it was called) with two old suitcases and a dirty coat. He stared at the five floor building. It was a very old piece of architecture, desinged and build maybe before The Great Fire in the end of XIX century. Inside the flat there was lots of graffiti paintings and stench of dust. He moved into the number 8. It was a three room apartment, almost empty, not including a bed, a chair and old table with only three legs. He barely seen other neighbors : The Smiths living under 9 and Ms. Brown under 7. From what he heard this room was cursed.

New Delhi: In the aftermath of the Mumbai terror strikes, insurers are set to expand the terror insurance pool, set up nine years ago, from the current level of Rs750 crore, and improved products are bound to hit the market, even as there is no claim on this account.
"Right now the terror insurance pool stands at Rs750 crore. If more members of the insurance community feel the need to expand the pool, it will grow. But it will depend on how much is purchased by the companies," IRDA Chairman J Hari Narayan said.
/Content/Videos/2008-12-04/0312_IRDA_Premium_Pkg_MINT_TV.flvd9a2fde6-c144-11dd-8a99-000b5dabf613.flvRefusing to state how much the increase would be, he said so far there have hardly been any claims against terror insurance.
On the premium, the IRDA chairman said, "Terror insurance products are bound to be upgraded and the rate of premium might change depending upon the evolution of new products that the industry may come up with."
The companies, he said, are coming out with products that have terror cover.
The nine-year-old terrorism pool, with 12 public and private sector insurance companies contributing, provide terrorism insurance cover in standard fire insurance policy and the premium collected by them is pooled.
These companies withdraw amounts in the case of claims against terror attacks.
The Taj and Oberoi Hotels' losses due to the recent terror attacks may run into several hundred crores, even though there is no official word on this.

As a clinical psychology Masters student and the daughter of a baby boomer, Joanna Macfarlane was keen to find out more about mental health help seeking behaviour in Kiwis aged 49 to 69 years old.
Joanna decided to research four increasingly common disorders in older age: depression, anxiety, dementia and addiction. More than 200 baby boomers filled in a questionnaire that measured their attitudes and intentions towards seeking help.
"Baby boomers are going to be the biggest demographic group in New Zealand," Joanna says. "Yet we know very little about their attitudes and intentions towards mental health."
Of the four disorders, survey respondents were less likely to seek help for memory-related issues and anxiety. This is interesting given new dementia diagnoses will increase as older boomers age.
One survey participant is 52-year-old Heather Halberg.
"I come from a family of strong, self-reliant and resilient women, who tend to help others rather than seek help themselves," Heather says.
Being part of the research study made Heather consider her own wellbeing. "I'm more likely to consider reaching out if I feel like things are getting too much now," she says.
Heather looks after her wellbeing by reading and writing, watching movies and TV, walking and swimming, as well as maintaining and growing friendships. She also loves planning excursions and small holidays for her family.
Joanna believes that New Zealand is not equipped to deal with what could be large numbers of people experiencing mental distress in this age group.
The good news is that Joanna's research highlights that as a generation this group are more open to talking about mental health, and therefore more likely to seek help for prevention.
"Having a generally positive attitude towards seeking both preventive and professional help is promising news," she says. "I think this, and knowing that boomers are keen on exercise and online resources, is really powerful information to develop preventative measures for older populations.

Hi, I'm Ron Brandstetter, and this is my website. I see myself as a historian, I was most "famous" as a political activist in Northern California and Oregon in the 90's and 00's — and now am most famous for this website! — and I am best known to the widest number of people as a hard worker and honest communicator from my business career in wholesale and retail sales, since marrying Danusia and joining her feathercrafts company in 1984, and our transitions to new fields since 2001.
Some more not-very-brief biographical notes.
Whittier California, 1950-68
I was a very bright kid, and was raised in the "science is great" atmosphere of America in the Eisenhower administration. I have been a news junkie since American Marines stormed the beaches of Lebanon in 1958, and when my parents bought an encyclopedia set, I read big chunks of it straight through.
My first encounters with political ideology left me deeply infected with the true-believers' virus. Some John Birch Society pamphlets supplied by a family friend, and an obscure right-wing TV talk show in Los Angeles in 1960 which presented the theory that the Soviet Union was going to dam the Bering Straits to manipulate negative climate changes for the US, turned me into quite a little reactionary for six months or so; then other family friends from the local Unitarian church turned me into a gung-ho generalized socialist. Before my twelfth birthday, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 when they presumably had more important things to do, I was being investigated and interviewed by the FBI for subscribing to a socialist newspaper!
Nevertheless my views were mellowing and becoming more skeptical of all over-arching theories by the time of the Kennedy assassination, my friends and I in high school could make sophisticated jokes on comparative ideologies, and to jump ahead a bit I'm very proud that I made it through my college life, in the turmoil of the late '60's and early '70's, as an advocate of radical democracy without ever succumbing to any variety of Marxism (even while finding the campus Marxists among the more fun people to hang out with).
Culturally, my rebellion had started much earlier, for instance being one of two high school sophmores and a junior who organized a relatively very early demonstration against the war in Vietnam, it must have been on a Saturday in December 1965, about 75 folks marched down Painter Ave., from uptown to Whittier Blvd., it was reported in the Whittier Daily News and attracted at least three police undercover agents. I was also the first person to wear non-blue jeans and desert boots in Whittier in 1965 — people would stop their cars in the street and shout at me! Getting elected Student Body President of my high school on a "protest the administration" platform, and the subsequent battles, only confirmed and accelerated my cultural revolutions.
Santa Cruz, 1968-74
There were many positive incidents and great adventures with my social set in the first years of Merrill College of UCSC, and someday all those stories can be told. My interests were often but not always focused on the the very personal, yet for example I was the guy who didn't go the the Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont, as everyone else did, because I needed to devour the first volume of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago I had just gotten (I probably got the better deal for that night). I won't claim that I was a happy or well-adjusted person in these years, indeed I'm sure I was very confused, foolish and near-sociopathic in many respects, and I'm sure people who knew me then can come up with many instances of stupid, hurtful and self-defeating behavior on my part.
I was so confused about myself and my future that I dropped out of college when they insisted I had to declare a major field of study, even though I knew that made me draft fodder for the Vietnam war. While my thoughts on that were not clear or stable either, I knew that I'd rather be in a civilian court than a military court, so I refused the draft (another interesting story in itself) and found myself a convicted felon, for draft refusal, before my 21st birthday. The day before sentencing, my lawyer told me to expect a 3-year prison sentence, but luckily I got probation with the stipulation of work in the national interest.
I worked for Goodwill Industries, moving up from truck helper to truck driver for $1.85 an hour — the minimum wage was $1.45 at this time — and then all the way up to $3/hour as a janitor in the local hospital. I thought I was trying hard there, yet my supervisor could tell I was a dangerous rebel at heart and fired me at the end of the probationary period. It was in that winter, looking for a job and accepting that I would probably be a blue-collar worker all my life, that I found myself going to the University library and checking out thick books on Russian history, just to keep boredom at bay, and suddenly realized that the field of Human History was the academic vocation I could love and pursue. The University would take me back as a History major, my father did agree to pay my school fees and give me a $200/month allowance despite our political and cultural disagreements, and I was able to get a volunteer job at a local psychological counseling center to satisfy my probation. Looking back, this was a crucial decision in making me who I've become.
I did apply myself to my studies, my attempts to patiently puzzle out the material must have impressed some professors, since even though I wasn't aiming for it and others were, the department gave me Highest Honors on graduation.
Bay Area, 1975-84
That graduation occurred in the era of the first Oil Crisis recession and "Whip Inflation Now," I knew my language skills were weak for History graduate school and my first-choice grad school sent back a letter instead of an application, essentially saying "you know, there're 3000 History post-grads coming out each year and jobs for only 600 of them, are you sure you want to do this?" So I took a laboring job at first, yet within a year I had lucked into a situation as a free-lance researcher-writer, essentially being able to get into the UC Berkeley libraries, research the problem and write it up to the client's specifications, as fast and accurately as anyone.
I considered this a great "grad study in generalism," and it was in this era that I refined my position as an academic skeptic of all ideologies, developed the first version of my "Ron's omelet" re-definitions of the social sciences, and self-published my book "The Get-Ready Man" — actually the fourth book I'd started and the second I'd finished since my college times.
It was also at this time that I got involved with the radical experimental spiritual group Safe Space, who helped me greatly in accepting and loving myself and accepting and loving others and finding techniques for a more stable and positive personal life.
Sonoma County, 1984-96
It was late 1983 when I met my future wife Danusia at a Safe Space group event, and 1984 when we married and I joined her feathercrafts business as an assistant manager, salesman and grunt-work laborer. I further settled into a modicum of adult stability as we hustled to make a living selling beautiful feathers around the country, and our son was born in 1990.
Helping Danusia make and sell America's most beautiful feathers was a great job
It was Danusia's idea a couple of years later to answer the ad of a lesbian couple in the area who were seeking a father for their child. Although they had me sign papers giving up all formal rights of fathership, bonds were already being formed when our daughter came out two months prematurely to share the same birthday as my son, and over the years the two mothers and our daughter have maintained visits back and forth and have become our closest "extended family" relationship.
In civic life, my relatively conservative political phase (which never got more than an inch or two further right than Jimmy Carter) was ending by 1982, and in 1990 I made a conscious decision to join and work with the Green Party for 10 years, to try to bring political changes that would be to the left of the Democratic Party. An op-ed column I wrote in 1995, scorching the right for the climate that led to the Oklahoma City bombing, brought me some local prominence, and I was recruited into an effort to stop a Wal-Mart from being built in our Northern California small city, maintaining a coalition of environmentalists, the existing retail shopping center, and real estate interests wanting a higher-class community.
Portland Oregon, 1996-present
Late at night, no hair combed, no makeup, no pro photographer or special lighting, old clothes, just me looking at you.
Moving to Oregon in 1996, I threw myself even more deeply into Green Party work, and we actually enjoyed some success in local organizing through the late '90's.
The accomplishments that I am most proud of, are that in the three civic organizations where I really gave of myself in the 1980's and 1990's (the Safe Space spiritual group, the anti-Wal-Mart campaign and the Oregon Green Party), others selected me as a President or Chairperson, based on my work without my seeking it, and in each case I did my best to lead in an inclusive manner, listening and compromising with other's ideas much more than imposing my own ideas, and in each case I arguably left the organization in better shape than I found it.
So as we move together into the future of the 21st Century, I'm not sure or dogmatic (though I have lot of ideas!) about what kind of organizations we'll have to build to change the dysfunctional, self-defeating aspects of our modern civilization. If I'm just another worker and cheerleader in the cause, that will be a fine outcome — as long as we can create a world our children and grandchildren can be happy in. That's what I'm about these days — now the question is, what are you about? And what are we going to do about it?

PHILIPSBURG:——The national emergency services, namely the Fire Department, Police, and Ambulance Departments, completed several days of multi-agency training in the district of Cole Bay together based on scenarios where they need to depend on each other to manage an incident successfully. Since the beginning of this year the Fire Department, Police Department and Ambulance Department haves intensified their joint trainings in order to continue to develop their professional capabilities and relationships. A key aspect is communication and understanding the procedures of the different entities.


A recent incident where our Vice President praised his grade school sisters caught my attention. While promoting the Obama administration in Iowa recently, Joe Biden, a liberal Democrat and Catholic in name only, lent his "star power" to the inauguration of the 2014 "Nuns on the Bus" campaign that took off outside the Des Moines statehouse.
This year's theme is "We the People, We the Voters," and the goal is to sign up voters for the midterm November 2014 elections. They are seeking out immigrants, the marginalized, the poor to sign them up to vote. If they take the pledge to vote, then they are invited to sign their names on the side of the bus.
Now, top on the list of issues for these sisters are immigration reform, health care, and economic justice, certainly not pro-life or anti-"gay marriage" issues. "Vote people first" - is the motto. That is to say, vote Socialism first, vote Catholic second or not at all. The agenda is pure and simply social justice.
The sisters are all aging with typical short hair cuts, many in the Nuns on the Bus signature blue t-shirts, all in secular dress, in short, the modern "sister." "Vote people first! Vote people first!" shouted these sisters and folks all gathered together on Day One of Nuns on the Buss. This translates quite simply to "Vote Democratic," which explains Joe Biden's presence for the grand kick off.
Biden took the stage and addressed the crowd about the widening income gap and supposed "danger" this presents to democracy. He reminded everyone how the Nuns on the Bus in 2012 took to the road and "fought like the devil" for Obama's health care. (A typical foot in the mouth metaphor for Biden.) Now, they are out again, fighting for respect for immigrants, protection of voting rights and social justice.
First that's not quite true, since the high school Biden attended was Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware, a Catholic all-boys establishment run by the Norbertine priests, not sisters.
Second, the sisters that taught Joe Biden – born in 1942 - in primary school are a far sight different from the "nuns on the bus" whom he praises so highly today. Like Joe, I also had the advantage of a pre-Vatican II Catholic education with sisters in habits as teachers. These sisters dedicated their lives to educating Catholic children in religion and morals, a no-frills and no-excuses education. We obeyed the sisters who obeyed the Magisterium. We honored the sisters for their great sacrifice, reflected in their demeanor, dress and discipline.
The sisters whom Biden superciliously tells us to obey are the very ones who notoriously stand against Church doctrine. All are members of the LCWR (The Leadership Conference of Women Religious), who supposedly represent about 80% of the 51,600 women religious left in the United States.
LCWR has been undergoing a Vatican-ordered doctrinal assessment since 2009. In 2012 it was commanded by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to reform its statutes and appointed Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain to oversee changes. Although much fuss about this supposed call for reform is made in the media, in fact the Vatican has done nothing substantial to change the position of the sisters.
I followed their four-day assembly held this August 2014 where 750 of the group's 1,400 members met. Archbishop Sartain was present, silent and "listening intently" as speaker after speaker got up and reiterated their commitment to their radical progressivist agenda.
Directly challenging Vatican guidelines, the assembly bestowed its top award on feminist theologian Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, who told members to keep going despite pressure because the "sisters are ahead of the Hierarchy in living the Vatican II renewal." No one really believes that this Pope will take steps against these progressivist sisters.
It is clear that "issues of social justice" are of pressing concern to the modern sister, not nursing the sick or teaching the youth in parochial schools. That vision of women religious in the Church is passé.
Recently Sr. Jeannine Grammick, a notorious advocate for LGBT "rights." presented her vision of religious life in the new millennium. She gleefully foresees a day – coming soon – where the three traditional vows of celibacy, poverty and obedience will be gone, replaced by a simple commitment to follow the Gospel.
Gender, sexual orientation, marital status are all inconsequential, Grammick tells us.
As for the vow of poverty, far from a virtue, "it is an evil that must be eradicated." The new religious will strive to live a simple lifestyle and meet the needs of the poor.
And as for the vow of obedience, there should be no formal vow to Church "superiors," but rather just being true to one's own convictions.
As we see, there is no place for Church doctrine in this progressivist conception of religious life.
We could dismiss this as ridiculous, except for the fact that today this is exactly what is being lived in religious life in most of the LCWR communities.
Grammick is excited for the first time that, "in this new era ushered in by Pope Francis," we have reason to hope – or fear, as the case may be – that the decentralized, feminized, collegial and democratic Church of the future is on our doorsteps.
This is the Church welcomed by Joe Biden and fellow democrat Nancy Pelosi, a Church akin to the Democratic Party and Socialism.

The Absence of a Domestic Inquiry is not Fatal
section 14(1)(a) of the Employment Act 1955
A "Due Inquiry" or "Domestic Inquiry" is one of the processes that must be carried out before dismissal for misconduct can be justified, as required by section 14(1)(a) of the Employment Act 1955.
This procedure must be carried out before the dismissal can be justified.
When wrongdoing is alleged to have been committed by an employee, this provision's goal is to ensure that the concept of Natural Justice, which states that the employee has the right to be heard, is upheld through a thorough investigation.
Domestic Inquiry
A domestic inquiry, also known as a "DI," is an internal investigation procedure carried out by an employer to investigate an employee's behaviour while on employment, specifically to determine whether or not the person has committed an act of misconduct.
The DI is a procedure that allows the allegedly guilty employee to respond to the allegations that have been made against him.
However, section 14(1) of the Employment Act 1955 does not define and does not define or clarify what constitutes "due inquiry" or how an investigation has to be carried out.
Does this imply that the employer must carry out an official DI before dismissing an employee for misconduct?
What repercussions will this have for the employer if an employee files a complaint against his employer for unfair dismissal because the employer did not conduct a DI?
Gissco Sdn Bhd vs Jagjit Singh Mahinder Singh
In Gissco Sdn Bhd vs Jagjit Singh Mahinder Singh (Award No: 13 of 1988), the Claimant is dissatisfied and seeks to refer the following question to the High Court:
Does the Industrial Court have jurisdiction to ignore provisions making it mandatory to hold an inquiry under the Employment Act 1955 in making an award under Section 30 of the Industrial Relations Act 1967?
Can the Industrial Court conclude that the Claimant was dismissed with just cause and excuse in the absence of an inquiry?
The Evaluation Of Evidence And Findings
The late Fong Seng Yee, the then president of the Industrial Court, observed that:
The absence of a domestic inquiry or the presence of a defective domestic inquiry is not a fatality but merely an irregularity.
It is open to the company to justify its action before the tribunal [the Industrial Court] by leading all relevant evidence before it and by having the entire matter open before the tribunal.
Unless the Industrial Court has found that the dismissal was without just cause or excuse, the Industrial Court has no jurisdiction to offer any relief
The absence of an inquiry is not fatal to the Company's case.
Simply put, employers do not necessarily have to carry out a formal DI.

Council member, Ward 3
I was born in Long Island, NY, and come from a large family. I was raised by my mother, Carol, a strong, intelligent and vibrant woman. My father, Vincent, an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Navy. They instilled the values of hard work, self-reliance, self-sacrifice, teamwork, and education.
After graduating high school in Westminster, CO, I attended the Metropolitan State University of Denver. During my final semester of college, I was accepted into the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Lakewood Combined Regional Law Enforcement Academy. In 2005 I simultaneously earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology and my Colorado POST Certification.
In 2009, I met my wife, April; A strong, independent and intelligent woman. Just twelve short months later, she agreed to marry me. Together we have three beautiful children, two girls and one boy. We have been raising our family in Thornton since 2012.
Professionally, I continue to work as a police officer, serving the public over the past 14 years. I have the pleasure of working and interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We work together to find collaborative, innovative, and resilient solutions to real-world problems. I am a dynamic relationship builder that can bring people together.
I believe in innovative and forward-thinking policies while maintaining fiscal budgetary responsibilities. I will serve the citizens of Thornton by providing innovative, forwarding thinking and transparent government for everyone.

I have lived in Thornton and raised my children here for the last 15 years. Over that time, this community has grown close to my heart. My wife and I have built a business here from the ground up, without government aid or subsidies, and we feel truly blessed to be able to say we are living the American Dream. My wife, Michele, is on the board of directors for the Sheila Fortune Foundation, a foundation dedicated to funding non-profit organizations who provide education in the arts for at-risk youths in after-school and summer programs in Colorado, Indiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Our daughter Denyse graduated from Horizon High School in 2003 as Valedictorian and went on to study at Front Range Community College for two years, to ultimately graduate from CU Boulder with a degree in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Thereafter she went to medical school, and recently graduated from Midwestern University as a physician assistant this August. Our son Nader is also a graduate of Horizon High School and is currently attending CU Boulder's Leeds School of Business.
I believe that the public sector has been an important catalyst for the growth in our city, but it is the private sector investment that really needs to be top priority for our community growth and stability.
I look forward to serving you, the citizens of Ward 3, in the city council. I will work for you, with respect to all your collective needs and by supporting our group of extraordinary and diverse individuals to the best of my ability. May God bless our city and wonderful country, where dreams certainly can come true.

Hit Like a Girl-Winter Meetings Distress
I never give a damn about the winter meetings, but this year they've brought on a slew of infuriation.
Boof Bonser?
Bay?
Bye-bye Lowell?
Bridge year?!
None of this is any good Mr. Epstein. I don't approve. Don't worry, I'm going to tell you why. Let's go in order by the list above, shall we?
Boof Bonser
I'm more irritated by this guys name than I am with the fact that he's not going to bring anything to the team. And he goes by Boof by choice. I can't even keep writing about this because it's just making me angry.
Jason Bay
Just sign the man already, will you? Red Sox management and Bay have been doing this dance for far to long now. In theory, Jason Bay is the Red Sox first priority, but you certainly wouldn't know it. Spend the money! It's proven that he plays well in Boston. He's a solid and reliable player. I just have a feeling that if we don't sign Bay, we're going to get a couple players for less money with less talent and it's going to be a miserable situation. They'll be happy in the front office though, I'm sure. Who doesn't love a bargain?!
Bye-Bye Mike Lowell
I'm in a state of extreme distress over this one. I love Mike Lowell. He was the Red Sox that made me admit to liking the Red Sox. It's his fault that I have been shunned by my family, made to change my last name, and been ruthlessly taunted! As of right now, 8:00 on Thursday, December 10, the Lowell deal has not gone through. Some sources say that it's 75% done, some sources say there only needs to be a physical. I even stumbled upon one that said it was a no-go. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find it since. Like a fool, I closed the window when my supervisor walked over to talk to me about deadlines. I almost jumped out of my chair and screamed, "They put a deadline on this trade?! When is it?! IS HE LEAVING ME?!"
Honestly, if the deal pans out (which it likely will), it's going to be sad to see Mike Lowell go. He's the 2007 World Series MVP and an overall class act. But don't worry about me, I've already taken 3 days bereavement leave from work in anticipation of this thing working out. Should he be traded, look for a video of me crying on YouTube similar to the likes of the "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE" meltdown. However, please note that I will not preemptively make this video. I'm clinging to the hope that Lowell will stay in Boston. I will, however, include a photo of how I'm feeling right now...
Bridge Year
Hey Theo Epstein and John Henry? Screw you guys.
"Oh, uhhh, hi. It's going to be a bridge year for us. Blah blah transitions blah blah, we're raising ticket prices." Oh, ok. That's cool you guys. I wouldn't want to spend on quality players either.
Sarcasm aside, what is wrong with this organization? I mean, I know Boston fans have something against organizations spending mass quantities of money (See: New York Yankees), but if we want to compete, we need to spend. And we have the means. Sign a quality player like Holliday. Hell, sign a decent player like Bay. I know the last thing we want to be is the Yankees, but we need to spend some money! We can't just sit around, make offers that are obviously going to be bested by NY, bitch about how those bastards got who we wanted again, and then spend on a couple less expensive, meh players. It's like shopping at a store like Forever 21 instead of Nordstrom. At Forever 21, you can get some decent clothes. They look pretty nice, and you can buy two or three items for the price of one at Nordstrom! But then, after a few washes, holes start to appear and you realize that your money would have been better spent on that cashmere sweater instead of those three mystery-fabric tops. Sigh.
I'm mad, I'm distressed, and should I happen to run into Theo Epstein during our "bridge year", I'm going to kick him in the balls.
So this is what it's like to be a Sox fan…

Sarah Jessica Parker Made Long Underwear Look Surprisingly Chic
On Tuesday, following the Sex and the City reboot announcement, Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted in her footwear brand SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker's flagship store in Manhattan. For the occasion, the actress-designer wore a pair of black, kitten heeled Mary-Janes from her brand, which she styled with a gray sweater and capri sweatpants. Given that it's January in New York, though, she layered what looks like long underwear underneath. And, since it's Carrie Bradshaw we're talking about, it actually worked.
Personally, when I think of long underwear, an image of one-pieces one would wear hidden underneath a snowsuit or other layers for a day on the slopes or a winter hike pop ups. However, that's not the case for Parker's version of the cold-weather layer which appears waffle-knit and features a fitted ankle cuff. Instead, in line with the popular lingerie as outerwear trend, her long underwear serves as a pair of leggings and peeks out from above her low-rise shorts. (It's also possible that Parker is wearing leggings that only look like long underwear.)
She also wore a black, ribbed face mask by Masqd, which was attached to a thin, silver chain. Once outside, Parker put on a midi-length puffer coat from Gerard Darel and a backpack from her brand's collaboration with Samsonite (see top photo).
Whether in character on SATC or in real life, Parker has a reputation for pulling off unusual sartorial ensembles. As Bradshaw, she famously wore a belt above the waist of her skirt, as well as a cowboy hat with a bandeau bra, among other memorable outfits. IRL, the actress also makes unconventional style pairings — many of which involve wearing sweatpants with designer boots and oversized headphones — look fashionable. So, we can't say it's all that surprising that, of all people, Parker would find a way to convince us that long underwear can be a winter staple worth showing off.

MBABANE – The arrival of a bus trading under the style-name Ding Dong caused commotion at the Mbabane Bus Rank yet again!
The disorder ensued when livid bus conductors blocked the road with four dustbins and stones when the brown and white Ding Dong bus made its way into the rank.
Police officers arrived at the scene as the behaviour was a clear defiance of an interim court order that was issued by the High Court.
One conductor was caught by the police but a marshal stepped in to mediate as the mayhem could not be accredited to one person.
He was able to evade arrest and walked away with a minor foot injury.
On March 25, 2019, the High Court ruled in favour of bus owner, Jabulani Mbuso Gulwako, by way of issuing an interim order interdicting the marshals and the Mbabane Branch Swaziland Local Kombi Association from interfering with the smooth operations of his buses.
The reason Gulwako submitted the urgent application was because the bus rank marshals and conductors were questioning how his two buses had obtained a permit to operate at the Mbabane Bus Rank.
Another vehicle owner showed this reporter all the paperwork he had filed for a permit in 2012 and said he too had been told the same thing about the bus rank being at full capacity.
He explained that the Mbabane Municipality had written a letter that stated that the bus rank was indeed at full capacity and that was why no new permits were being issued.
"This is why we are asking how the buses got their permits. The permit that these buses use was issued for the Manzini-Ludzeludze route. That permit was amended and it now services the Mbabane-Manzini via Mahlanya route. According to town council, an amendment requires a fresh permit," the marshal further alleged.
When he filed his application in court, Gulwako asserted that he had gone through all the necessary procedures for the buses to service the Mbabane-Manzini route, and that the buses had a timetable.
He explained that twinning buses were supposed to be based at the same terminal, as they had the same permit and thus their paths were never to cross.
However, he alleged that these buses did not follow that requirement.
The Mbabane Municipal Council Information and Public Relations Officer, Lucky Tsabedze, confirmed that the bus rank was at full capacity and that no new permits were being issued.
When this reporter tried to reach the Ministry of Public Works and Transport Principal Secretary, Makhosini Mndawe, to get his comment on the matter pertaining to the permit of the buses, his phone was not answered.

Protesters take to the streets as tension mounts in Venezuela
John Sexton May 18, 2016 10:01 PM ET
Hot Air has been covering events in Venezuela quite a bit recently because it seems as if a long simmering tension could reach a boiling point at any moment. From USAToday:
"We have no food. They are cutting power four hours a day. Crime is soaring. And (President Nicolás) Maduro blames everyone but himself for the mess we find ourselves in," said Sanchez, 36. "We can't go on like this forever. Something has to give."
The unrest mounts as the country faces continuing shortages of essential food, medicine and toiletries. All the bakeries here in La Victoria, 55 miles southwest of Caracas, stopped producing bread last week because there is no flour.
"People are hunting dogs and cats in the streets, and pigeons in the plazas to eat," Ramon Muchacho, mayor of the Caracas district of Chacao, said this month in a tweet that was reported in many newspapers.
This AFP video published today shows people who waited as long as 4 hours for the chance to buy a single bag of bread:
For the third time this week, protesters took to the streets demanding the government allow a referendum that could remove the unpopular President Maduro from power. The socialist government is stalling the measure because if the vote does not happen this year then under Venezuelan law Maduro's Vice President would serve out the rest of his term. But the protesters are sick and tired of Chavismo.
Reuters published video showing protesters facing off against riot police who were creating cordons in the street. One protester speaks into the camera saying, "We're tired of the corruption. We're tired of the queues. We're tired that every day they smack us in the face with this supposed economic war." He added, "That doesn't exist, Maduro. The economic war is your war against us."
Last week unnamed U.S. intelligence officials expressed concern that the crisis is heading toward a coup or, alternatively, a brutal government crackdown on dissent.

Within the framework of new ideas and innovations, there is a marked difference between a good idea and a great idea. (Obviously it doesn't take a modern day Sherlock Holmes to discriminate between what the words "good" and "great" mean, but humor me please.) A good idea is easy, makes sense to most, and frankly, doesn't really accomplish much. A great idea is one that may not be so easy to explain, requires attention and detail, and has more potential to be a change agent for your success. Great ideas cause friction and require much more hard work than the good.
This manifested in me when I chose to end a relationship with a guy in the past. Our relationship was easy and relatively conflict-free. We never really fought (or really communicated for that matter). We coasted through much of our relationship, unscathed and unchallenged. We probably would have been fine if we would have ended up together, but there is absolutely no way we would have been great. When we went through the awful experience of breaking up, I had no idea when I would date again or how but I knew that I had to release the good to make space for the great.
Leaving the good behind is never easy, and please don't think that I am calling for everyone to leave their significant others if there are difficulties, but choosing to go for the great in the past has helped me continue to choose the great in the future (and I am not just talking about relationships here). I would argue that once you go for the great, you are better able to recognize it and seek it out for your choices and ideas.
I truly believe that going for the great is worth it and when you feel frustrated because things aren't working out quite the way you wanted them to, seek out inspiration and guidance.
And please, stick to the great.


When the going gets tough—or weird or wonderful—the daydreamer gets going on a new story. Sally John has been tweaking life's moments into fiction since she read her first Trixie Belden mystery as a child.
"Oh, good grief," she murmured to herself with a groan. "That is so maudlin. Truly and hopelessly maudlin. You might try something more chipper. Something like . . . Something like . . ." Her foggy brain offered nothing.
What drivel that was! Eighteen months—or to be more precise, seventeen months, three weeks, and two days; but who was counting? All that time had passed and only one thing was healed: Eliot's gunshot wound. His other wounds, the invisible ones, still oozed like toxins from a waste dump site. He was not the same man she had married.
Sheridan took a deep breath and let the bitter argument go. Nostalgia and regret settled back down into whatever corner of her heart they'd found to hide out in. Their impact, though, lingered.
Sleep-deprived, she totally blamed him. She didn't mean to. It wasn't like he had much of a choice. The bullet that shattered his nerves shattered their life. Everything about it was over. Health, career, home, friends. All gone. Kaput. Some days she barely recognized herself and Eliot. Where were the Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery she once knew? These routines, hometown, health, acquaintances, and even personalities seemed lifted from the pages of some stranger's biography.
"Oh, honestly. Get over it already, Sher." She forced a swallow of tea and focused on the scene before her.
Now she could see that it was a man. He passed the bandstand, his strides too deliberate for a villager, too American. He headed straight for the steep incline that led up to her house. In city terms, the distance was perhaps a block. In Topala terms, it was simply up beyond the sculptor's shop.
"No way." Her heartbeat slowed, but not quite to normal.
Sheridan gave a half nod. They needn't be concerned. The stranger was, so to speak, a known quantity. Not that she felt the least bit glad to see Luke. Eliot would most likely be severely distressed at his arrival.
Since that day in Caracas—the day her husband died in every sense except physically, the day this man saved her life—Sheridan had understood intuitively that Luke would always be a part of her life. And there he was, out of the blue, ascending her street in the middle of nowhere on a spring day as if he visited all the time.
Was this his joke or God's?
Sheridan clutched her shawl more closely and resigned herself to riding out the emotional disarray rumbling through her. She both loathed and loved this man. Of course he knew that, so it didn't matter how she reacted to him except that she'd like herself better if she were polite.
"Fine." She backed away, crossing her arms.
The resistance drained from her. Yes, Gabriel had come to deliver a message, and he would not leave until he'd done so.
Wow! Wow! And can I say Wow again?! I'm not sure what I was expecting with this book but I know I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, that's for sure. I read it in less than 2 days because I just couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next and what God had in story for Sheridan and Eliot.
The storyline is the perfect blend of inspiration, suspense, hope and realizing that life doesn't always go down the right path, but if we just follow God's lead we have a hope of finding the way home and ourselves. Eliot and Sheridan were created in a fascinating way that is meant to grip you, heart and soul, lending depth to the already deep and emotional plot. Add a bit of romance to the pages and you have the most incredible story!
I highly recommend this unforgettable story with 5 stars. It's a truly wonderful and emotional story that will have you thinking about life. This is the first time I've read Sally John's work and it certainly won't be the last. I urge you to read this wonderful story, especially if you've never read her books.


Are the Traditional Bookmakers Facing a Downfall?
Are the traditional bookmakers completely out of fashion now or do people still gamble through them? Bookies still haven't been completely eliminated from the gambling industry, but nonetheless, their popularity is declining day by day due to a number of factors. Online gambling is a more convenient and flexible option that offers so many benefits in terms of the payouts, the bonuses and the rewards. At the bottom of it all, or at least most of these advantages, is technology, something which isn't a characteristic of traditional bookies and has caused them to lag behind in the race.
Let's take a detailed look, and see how the two to compare to each other. A little advice here: before making the move online, go through reviews of various gamblers on websites like punters.com.au to ascertain that you are choosing a reputed name in the industry.
Online gambling allows us to place bets at any time and from anywhere without actually allowing us to be present in the ground itself. So even when we are at work, or while we are in bed, we can still enjoy the same gambling experience through our laptops. Some websites also offer an app, allowing us to bet through our mobile phones which makes things all the more convenient.
Compared to this, the traditional bookies require us to be present at a physical site, which makes it a less convenient option. Also, we are required to specially take time out from our schedules for gambling, without being able to do it during odd hours of the day.
The traditional bookies lack flexibility; several of them have fixed schedules which prevent us from betting round the clock. But with online betting, that isn't the case.
Bonuses are offered by both traditional bookies and online betting websites. But with the latter, they are a lot more exciting. Bonuses are offered when we sign up and when we place bets greater than a certain amount. We may even enjoy rewards if we refer a friend, and they sign up. Traditional bookies do have some bonuses, but they are limited and definitely not as good as with online gambling sites.
Many betting websites allow us to place bets of smallest amounts, whereas the minimum bet limit with traditional bookies is usually higher. So even if we have a limited budget, we can still indulge in gambling.
Online websites often allow us to place bets after the match has started. This provides an opportunity to increase profits whenever odds improve. The traditional bookies operate using old systems and procedures, and may often not allow betting once the game starts.
So which option seems more exciting: online betting or the traditional bookies? Most of the differences between the two are simply because of technology, which has advanced rapidly. In the time to come, online betting is expected to get even more thrilling when AI and IoT will be utilised to the fullest.

Q: SharePoint 2007 x64 workflow with Visual Studio 2008? I have development environment with 64-bit SharePoint 2007. I tried to create SharePoint workflow with Visual Studio 2008 and got error message "A 32-bit version of SharePoint Server is not installed. Please install a 32-bit version of SharePoint Server". Is there any way to solve this problem?

A: I'm shortly going to be in a similar scenario and have been looking into this issue ahead of time since I heard of this issue in blog write-ups. You can apparently still develop under 32bit and then move it to the 64bit server.
It seems that the issue is truly in the Sharepoint Extensions...so if you don't use them (ie. SharePoint 2007 Sequential Workflow or SharePoint 2007 State Machine Workflow projects) and just create a workflow project it appears to have better success for some.(look in the comments to the posting)
Here's the tracked bug at Microsoft Connect, some VS team members provided a "work around" which is basically what I first mentioned.
Bottom line, crummy handling by Microsoft considering this is their "Showpiece" and they are pushing people to 64bit platform. In another two weeks I should be feeling this, if I come up with anything more I'll post back. Good Luck!

A: Yep, agree with curtisk. I've spent today developing a generic Windows Workflow for SharePoint because I couldn't use the extensions. You lose a bit in the ease of deployment but there are plenty of resources out there on how to do this manually. This worked for me (at least the deployment part of it anyway): -
http://blah.winsmarts.com/2008-7-Authoring_SharePoint_2007_Workflows_using_VS2008.aspx
Note that in my case I was working on a 32bit Windows 2003 VM but hosted on a 64bit Virtual Server.

A: I was having this same problem just now.  I found that STSDEV has the exact project type as an option.
So use STSDEV to create this kind of project.  Since it's broke in 64bit Win2k3 with VseWSS 2008 its best to use STSDEV instead.

A: We worked around this by designing the workflows in SharePoint designer and then just bundling and then including them in the WSP when deploying through Visual Studio using VseWSS.
PS: SharePoint Designer is now a free product.

A decent story and some great atmosphere and style make this movie pretty enjoyable, even when it's not being the most creative.
The thing about Payback is, it's basically a different take on the same kind of story. Now, it's nice to get a version of that story that does things in a unique sort of way, but what might have been a little better would be to get a story that was unique and different. Something that was more of a mystery than a revenge action film. Still, there's a lot that this movie gets right, starting with the dark and gritty atmosphere. Blueish gray filters are used to colorize and get the look of this film exactly right, and boy does it look good. And regarding the story, most films in this genre simply have a double cross happen at the beginning, and then show our character spending the rest of the fim trying to get at the man who double crossed him. That showdown is saved for the climax. Payback is different. Instead of saving the showdown for the end, it puts it right in the middle and then keeps on moving forward after that. The mission here isn't about seeking vengeance (although I suppose that's the first thing Porter needs to cross off his list,) it's about getting his money back. In order to do that, Porter basically has to trace the money, going from one mob boss to the next, moving up the ladder until he reaches his goal. It's definitely a cool take on the genre.
Payback is a pretty decent action movie. It's hard to call it a mystery or a thriller because there are never any realy questions at hand here that need uncovering. It is, however, most certainly a gritty noir. The movie is directed by Brian Helgeland, a man who hasn't exactly proven himself as a director, with films like A Knights Tale and 42. As a writer, on the other hand, Helgeland penned one of the greatest film noirs of all time, L.A. Confidential, along with director Curtis Hanson. Based on what we saw in that movie and then what we get in Payback, there's no qustion this director has a sense of style and atmosphere. It's the story that often needs some work.
Payback opens with a man named Porter (Mel Gibson) lying on his stomach, being operated on. He's bloody and a bit of a mess, as a man performs illegal surgery on him in a dirty room, pulling bullets out of Porter's skin. All of this is set to Porter's voice over explaining how he knows exactly the amount of money that his life is worth, because that's what they took from him. Seventy million dollars. This scene is very stylized, as is the entire movie, really, and we immediately hit by the distinct gun-metal blue coloring. It's like a grayish blue and it makes the scenery in this movie bleak as hell.
From here we move to a flashback. Good thing because that opening was starting to make us curious. Who was Porter talking about and how did he find out that his life was worth that much money? We see Porter and a blond man named Val, staking out a Chinese gang who has just pulled off a robbery. Porter notcies something about the gang. None of the members are wearing seatbalets in the car. He point this out to Val, and we know that the two of them have a plan. Cut to a few days later, and Porter and Val are riding in a car, speeding down an alley. They are flooring it, heading right for the car of the Chinese gang, ready to smack into it, head on. They do this, and the Chinese men are all badly hurt, from not having their belts on during the collision. Porter and Val rob the gang members and meet up with Porter's wife in a garage. That's where she and Val tun on him and shoot Porter in the back. This is what leads us to that opening scene.
I really like that the scene of Porter recovering and being operated on at the beginning is not a flash forward of something from the middle or end of the movie. Lots of films do that, giving us a taste of what we should be excited at the start of the film, and then waiting until the end to actually show us. This movie gets into it pretty quickly. It gives us the setup of a revenge movie. Will Porter spend the duration of the film going after those who wronged him, trying to get back at his wife and Val?
The answer is no, and thank goodness for that. We've seen that exact movie, way too many times. The way it usually works is that Porter may be back, but now Val has risen up in powere in recent years, and has a bunch of men working for him who will be sent in to get Porter, long before he reaches Val. It becomes a very generic film with Val being saved for the final villain at the end. Payback doesn't do that. It avoids those cliches nicely.
Instead of Val being the ultimate villain, he ends up being the middle man on a totem pole. That means the movie isn't all about getting him, but is much more about what comes after him. And Porter's wife is handled right away. In fact, no sooner does Porter get back home, then does his wife walk in, with a heroin needle in her arm, lie down on the bed, shoot up, and die. So that one's out of the way. And Val is next.
To find Val, Porter has to go see a bookie who he knows Val has worked closely with in the past. This man is played by David Paymer, and he claims to not know where Val is until Porter gives him some reasons to be truthful. All the bookie is really able to tell him is that Val is in New York. But what does come out of the scene is that Porter meets two cops, who are playing Poker in the back room of the bookie's establishment. These cops are very interesting in what Porter is up to, and want to get themselves in the game as well. If there's money going around, then they want a pice of it.
Porter finds Val at a hotel and breaks into his room. This is right as Val is having a private session with a prostitute who speacilizes in torture. This is Lucy Lieu doing S & M, dressed all out in leather. She likes beating Val and Porter doesn't mind taking a break from his agenda to watch this. When he has let Lieu beat Val enough, he stops her to ask Val some questions. Porter learns fromVal that his money has been given over to the mob to pay off a debt that Val owed them. So that' s who has Porter's money. Porter's mission isn't to get vengeance on Val. It's to get his money back. In order to do that, the ladder he needs to climb is really just beginning.
Porter goes to see a woman he used to drive for as a bodyguard while she performed tricks. He was always fond of this woman (played by Maria Bello), and she just might be the only one he can now trust. Porter shacks up with her and when Val finds out and attacks at her place, Porter takes care of Val once and for all. Only that's just the start of his problems. Apparently Val pulled a few strings before Porter took him out and set a lot of pieces into motion. One is the Chinese gang that he and Porter robbed at the start of the film. Lucy Lieu knows them and lets them know that Porter is the one who robbed them. So they come to town, looking for him.
And then there's the mob, led by William Devane. He sends people after Porter and it's kind of ironic, since Porter was just about to start coming after him. And that's pretty much what happens. Porter handles the guys who are staking out his place and then goes to see Devane. From there he just keeps on following the ladder up, one bad guy at a time. He goes to Jame Coburn next. his ultimate goal is to get at the big boss, Kris Kristofferson. It takes a little while before Porter can make that happen. Some of the final moves in this film involving Kristofferson and his son are a little too convenient. But other than that, it was a pretty good movie. As far as vengeance films, or chasing the money up the ladder of bad guys movies go, this one is pretty good. But without that mystery element that Gibson has found in other films, like Edge of Darkness, the movie is also a little too simple. The plot is simply that a guy gets robbed, goes after the guy who robbed him, and then follows the path of where his money went, killing one bad guy at a time until he gets it back. The atmosphere and ideas are cool, and the plot pulls some nice punches, like not making the movie all about vengeance on the guy who put him in this situation. It's a different take on the same story. To be a little bit better, it would have needed to be a new story.
