About Me
Gap YAH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKFjWR7X5dU
What I'm currently doing with my life: I study Modern languages in Ragusa, Italy. I will graduate in november and afterwards I've decided to go on a gap yah (http://youtu.be/eKFjWR7X5dU) and possibly live in the U.S. for a few months. The next step will be moving to my beloved England and do an MA in International Relations in London.
How I'm spending my days at the moment: I'm in the process of writing my dissertation. It's going to be about the feminist movement in Egypt and the Arab spring. So PLEASE, if you're either from Egypt/know a lot about these subjects, HELP ME! ;)
Favourite drink: tequila sunrise and everything containing tequila, really. And red wine, of course. And orange juice.
Favourite places: dark theatres, hot showers, London, airports, ferry boats, comfy beds, museums when they're empty, bookshops, and wherever my 7 years old niece is.
A few languages I speak: Italian, not surprisingly since I was born and raised in sunny Sicily. British English (which is my absolute favourite language. Somebody speaking with a British accent, using proper grammar, sounds like music to my ears. And is also quite sexy, let me add. But this can be said about using language properly in general: nothing, nothing is more fascinating than words and the way we use them). I also speak some French and some Spanish. And IâÃâ¬Ãâ¢ve been studying Arabic for 3 years now, although I feel like the only thing I can really say is: ÃËðÃâ¢Ãâ¡ÃËè ÃËóÃËçÃâ¢ÃâÃâ¢Ã⦠ÃËÃÂ¥Ãâ¢ÃâÃâ¢Ãâ° ÃËçÃâ¢ÃâÃËóÃâ¢ÃËÃâ¢Ãâ Ãâ¢ÃËÃËçÃËôÃËêÃËñÃâ¢Ãâ° Ãâ¢ÃÆÃâ¢ÃÅ Ãâ¢ÃâÃâ¢ÃËÃËúÃËñÃËçÃâ¢Ãâ¦Ãâ¢ÃÅ Ãâ¢Ãâ ÃËçÃâ¢ÃâÃËèÃËñÃËêÃâ¢ÃâÃËçÃâ¢Ãâ
âÃâ¬ÃËSalim went to the market and bought 2 kilos of orangesâÃâ¬Ãâ¢.
Religious views: I believe in Sherlock Holmes.
Favourite film: I LOVE watching films and going to the cinema, IâÃâ¬Ãâ¢m such a movie buff really. ItâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s one of my favourite things in the world, especially since you can do it without necessarily having to leave your warm comfortable bed/sofa. Have a look at my rating history on IMDB if you like: http://www.imdb.com/user/ur31302695/ratings?start=1&view=detail&sort=your_ratings:desc&scb=0.7701165641192347
How I feed myself: IâÃâ¬Ãâ¢ve been a vegetarian for more than 2 years now I donâÃâ¬Ãâ¢t think I could ever go back to eating meat. A book IâÃâ¬Ãâ¢ve read and I think you should read too is: http://www.amazon.com/Eating-Animals-Jonathan-Safran-Foer/dp/0316069906
One person I wish I knew in real life: Jenna Marbles, who else?!?! http://youtu.be/1IZR0VpLCeE
Bands I've seen live: Arcade Fire, Deep Purple, Interpol, Bonny 'Prince' Billy.
Last book I've read: 'Only in London' by Hanan Al-Shaykh (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-London-Hanan-Al-Shaykh/dp/0747557926)
Favourite TV series: Six Feet Under is my absolute favourite. You should watch it, it changed me somehow and thought me how no matter what we do "Everything, everyone, everywhere, ends". I also like: Misfits, Sherlock, GreyâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars House M.D...
Random stuff I like:
Rock Music, Foreign Languages, Dark theatres, Travelling, a 6-year-old kid called Trilli, Sleeping, Photography, Baking Cupcakes, veggie food, women history, feminism and women issues, trains, UK, liberal politics, nail polish, ferry boats.
"Then you begin to give up the very idea of belonging. Suddenly this thing, this belonging,it seems like some long, dirty lie ... and I begin to believe that birthplaces are accidents, that everything is an accident. But if you believe that, where do you go? What do you do? What does anything matter?"

The Iron and Steel Industry in Asia: Development and Restructuring
The paper examines the development and restructuring of the iron and steel industryin Asian countries. Studying countries that have integrated steelworks with largeblast furnaces (South Korea, Taiwan, China and India) and countries without(Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia), the paper shows the difference in thedevelopment processes across the countries and across time, and points to thediversity of the development experience of these countries. The paper argues thatsignificant differences in steel production technologies in terms of initial investmentand minimum-efficient scale, the changing role of the state, and shifting demandstructures in the domestic steel markets of each country have been the importantfactors that led to the differences in the development path of the steel industry ineach country.

Drishti-Soft Solutions, a leading provider of Communications Solutions, powers BigTree to implement phone-based ticket booking throughout the country.
India has 62.5 million claimed Internet users as against 362.3 million wireless subscribers. These numbers highlight the growing importance of voice-based customer service market in India. BigTree is one such innovative organization that aims at providing advanced voice based customer interaction service through its portal bookmyShow.com The Company is involved in software sales and support, ticketing services, box office tracking and analysis.
It was imperative for BigTree to lower their transaction costs, operational costs and human dependency to pass on the benefits to consumers.

They wanted a solution that could facilitate call identification, and also play area-wise movie updates and special offers through IVR. As the IVR keeps changing every week with release of new movies, a solution was needed that could change the IVR without having the need to change the IVR code.
BigTree wanted that the solution should smoothly integrate with their in-house enterprise applications & Database (used for updating show timings), and Payment Gateway wherein they can add the option of Credit Card booking directly on the IVR without transferring the call to agents. Also, the system was expected to generate and send transaction ID to the customer through SMS.
"Drishti's advanced technology platform, DACX Ameyo, proved to be just the right solution that could understand our workflow, and address the core issues in order to achieve process automation while lowering operational and transaction costs. We look forward to Drishti's support in future too" says Mr. Parikshit Dar, Director, Technology, Bigtree.
Bigtree chose Drishti's DACX Ameyo because of its comprehensive feature set, high responsiveness, and expertise of the Drishti team. Drishti implemented data driven IVR with DACX Ameyo which facilitated the BookMyShow team to change the IVR every week without the need to change the IVR code. Ameyo integrated smoothly with their IT infrastructure.
Bigtree achieved higher operational efficiency even after reducing the number of their agents to 40%. Moreover, DACX Ameyo proved to be an affordable choice, doing away with the need to procure expensive hardware for different requirements, while maximizing agent performance and process efficiencies.
Says Mr. Sharat Chandra, Country Manager (Sales), Drishti Soft "Drishti has always strived to provide high-end innovative solutions to businesses that focus on using technology to simplify customer interaction service, which is perhaps the most significant growth factor in economically turbulent times like these.

The Top 5 Greatest Thanksgiving Movies Of All Time! [VIDEO]
It's that time of year again, Thanksgiving! I've already fried one turkey & before it's over I'm sure I'll end up frying several more for friends, family & for myself. I love turkey, Thanksgiving & everything that goes with it. While most holidays have their share of music, movies & traditions, at first glance Thanksgiving seems to lack in the way of entertainment when compared to other holidays. That's just not true.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is to make some last-minute changes to his broadband reforms in a bid to assure industry that there will be a "level playing field" for all companies after proposed legislation goes to a vote in the Senate this week.
The government cleared the way for a final vote on the reforms by announcing its intention to adjust two bills currently before the Senate, promising that the changes would offer more certainty for business.
The signal came after the coalition mounted a strong attack on the bills in their current form, saying that amendments should be passed to prevent the company building the network, NBN Co, from offering a retail service to big customers, against its stated objective of providing only wholesale connections.
Senator Conroy has rejected the coalition amendments but indicated he would put forward some of his own in the next few days.
Voting on the two bills is not expected on Monday but is likely to be done by Thursday as the government seeks to legislate the NBN Companies Bill, which sets out the operating rules for the agency building the network, and the NBN Access Arrangements Bill, which will govern how wholesale customers buy services.
Speaking for Senator Conroy in the Senate on Monday, Labor frontbencher Mark Arbib told the chamber that the government would propose some amendments to its own bill in order to respond to a recent Senate committee report.
The changes would "further clarify" the level-playing field arrangements, Senator Arbib said.
"We have been engaging with industry on this matter and the government will shortly be introducing amendments into the parliament to address this," he said.
The government rejected the opposition argument that the NBN Co should not be able to discriminate between customers, saying that the agency would need to do this.
"Discrimination based on efficiency has long been recognised to promote competition and innovation in the market," Senator Arbib said.
"The NBN Access Arrangements Bill already contains safeguards to address the concerns. Under the bill, NBN Co cannot offer a volume discount unless it is in accordance with a framework that has been approved by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission as part of NBN Co's special access undertaking."
Senator Arbib did not put forward the amendments but made it clear they would be coming soon.
"The government will be proposing some amendments that will further strengthen the ability of the NBN to deliver on its nation building objectives, that will improve the operation of the bills and that will deliver further certainty for industry and the community," he said.
"For example, a series of amendments clarifies the operation of the level playing field provisions, ensuring they are focused more tightly on local access networks targeting residential and small business customers, and that minor extensions to existing superfast networks, and connections of new customers to existing networks, will not be subject to the provisions."

Traditional Lebanese dish of baked chicken and potatoes.
- Fresh Parsley tends to be infested with aphids, thrips and other insects. Please check "Kashrut Instructions" below for instructions on checking these for insect infestation.
- 16 cut-up chicken pieces
- 16 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- Salt to taste
- Ground white pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 cups fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Place chicken and potatoes in a large baking dish. Season generously with salt and white pepper.
- In a bowl, stir together garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pour over chicken and potatoes.
- Cover dish with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, increase heat to 475°F and cook until chicken and potatoes are golden, about 30 minutes.
- Place chicken and potatoes on a serving platter and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.
Kashrut Instructions
DESCRIPTION: Fresh Chives, basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme are often used as spices or garnishing.
Please Note: Curly leaf parsley is very difficult to check. It is therefore recommended that only flat leaf parsley be used.
INFESTATION: Aphids, thrips and other insects may often be found on the leaves and stems of these herbs. Insects tend to nestle in the crevices between the leaves and branches of herbs. These insects can curl up and stick to the leaf once they come in contact with water.
Vegetable spinners, power hoses, and light boxes are not always available in the home. We therefore recommend the following alternate procedure.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to determine if a particular bunch of herbs is infested prior to washing, bang it several times over a white cloth. This is most important when checking oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. If only one or two insects are found proceed with the steps below. If three or more insects are detected in a particular bunch of herbs it should not be used.
- Soak herbs in a solution of cold water and vegetable wash. The proper amount of vegetable wash has been added when some bubbles are observed in the water. (In the absence of vegetable wash, several drops of concentrated unscented liquid detergent may be used. However, for health reasons, care must be taken to thoroughly rinse off the soapy solution.)
- Agitate the herbs in the soapy water, in order to loosen the sticking excretion of the bugs.
- Using a heavy stream of water, thoroughly wash off the soap and other foreign matter from the herbs.
- Check both sides of each leaf under direct light.
- If one or two insects are found, rewash the herbs.
- If any insects are found after repeating the agitation process twice, the entire bunch must be discarded.
Please note: To prepare herbs such as cilantro, dill or parsley for use in soups wash them thoroughly and place in a cooking bag.

Blown away on arrival by the location.
Stunning views and so peaceful. We had been booked in to a suite and it was just amazing with our own balcony over looking the golf course. Wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely return.

Booked Overstone Park as a last minute treat for me and my partner.
Arrived to be told we couldn't use the bar or restaurant as there was a Wedding and that food would not be available. No attempt to resolve this with me despite the fact I was promised that the "Manager" would speak to me on checking out. Surprise surprise on checking out the "Manager" was "off sick" and would ring me the following day..... no phone call, fobbed off as expected. Such a shame that such beautiful surroundings are so poorly run.
Empower your team to deal with customers issues at the point which they arise.
Bedrooms in poor condition, nails protruding from woodwork in bathroom. Floorboards so creaky in the room upstairs we struggled to sleep. Breakfast is at best a 4/10. Go and get breakfast of a better quality and price locally elsewhere. I stay away at least twice a week for work, this is the worst experience I have had in many years. We paid £90 for a very poor B&B experience - avoid this place if you can, you certainly will not be getting the experience that the website promises.

not the quality required these days
On arrival greeted very well by Linda.
We made our way to the rooms, no foot path. Limited disabled parking time slots on weekend. The room was small and charmless and dim, no prints or pictures to cheer it up. The shower room was tired and mould was obvious to see when on the loo.
The showerhead had no rise and fall bar and v/high. The step in/out of the shower was high for less able clients (my wife) needed option of small step up. The food in the bars was very good and prompt service. Overall the staff were good. Breakfast was bad. One of the worst, eggs floating in grease and under cooked, short of cups and plates. Staff at breakfast seemed under pressure. With few guests, they need more training and support. To sum up, unless you are a crazy golfer and need to come here for that. With £75 a room and the options out there in the market place. This place needs to up its game. Dirty showers and facilities (foyer toilets) are not a option.

Views over the golf course
Friendly & helpful staff.
Room small chalet style. Not in main building. Comfortable, clean with shower room. Also includes tea & coffee making facilities. Joined 2 gym classes also included and made use of the pool facilities too. Adequate size pool, jacuzzi & steam room but the sauna was rather cosy. Buffet breakfast good with views over the golf course.

One night at Overstone Park
Although the overall experience was excellent, finding the hotel was rather difficult for someone visiting the area for the first time.
The leisure facilities are top quality and the staff on duty made it a very pleasant stay. Value for money in relation to the stay was excellent.

Something a little bit different!
Really nice resort, took a bit of finding with the gps but that's more the Tom toms issue.
Upon arrival I thought I was in the wrong place I'd not paid nearly half what I would have expected to pay for this hotel.
I loved the pool and spa such lovely views as well; very pretty in the evening.
The food was lovely and excellent value for money and I loved the extra touch of a sachet of hot chocolate in the room as well as tea and coffee- not a normal occurrence.
I even got a free upgraded room.
Only issue I had was with the family of baby elephants upstairs that woke me up three times in the night- once again out of the hotels control.
Will definitely stay again.

Hello everyone,
I have always loved baking and decorating cakes; I am now just beginning to sell my cakes. I do pies and other desserts, too.
Anyway, how do you figure your exact cost of your cake? For example, I buy in bulk at Sam's Club. So when I use 1-2 cups of sugar, how do charge for that and the rest of my ingredients? I am probably over analyzing, but any help would be appreciated.
Happy Caking!
There have been lots and lots of threads on this topic. Do a search, either in the forum search page, or on Google, (type in your search topic and "cakecentral"), you'll find tons of info.
on the side of any package should be serving size info. for example, (just pulling numbers out of the air since I'm at work), a 5 lb bag of flour may say "Serving size: 1/2 cup..... number of servings: 16". this tells you there are 8 cups in a 5 lb bag of flour. Divide the cost of the flour by 8 cups and you have your price per cup.
Many of us keep this info on a spreadsheet and update it periodically. (I recommend quarterly). Sometimes you have to really do the math to figure stuff, like if the package has a serving size of 1 teaspoon and you use it by the cupful!
Some things are too miniscule to actually cost out. I came up with an avg number to cover "incidentals" for a batch-size. You determine what your batch size may be. (Mine was 2 cake mixes.) Just add $5 or $10 for small things. (Hubby gave me this idea. Said this is what garages do for topping off fluids, paper towels, the disposable seat protectors, etc.)

Pamidronate (Aredia®)
Pronounced: PAM-i-DROE-nate
Classification: Bisphosphonate
About Pamidronate (Aredia®)
Cancer cells from some tumors (most commonly breast, prostate and lung cancers) can spread to the bone, which is called bone metastasis. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer affecting plasma cells, which are found in the bone marrow, and thus directly involves bone. In both of these situations the cancer cells cause breakdown or wearing away of the normal bone. In turn, affected bones become more fragile; they may be painful and can even break due to the damage from the cancer cells. Pamidronate is a type of drug called a bisphosphonate, which is used to slow the destruction of bone caused by cancer cells.
How to Take Pamidronate
Pamidronate is given directly into a vein as an infusion, over at least 2 hours. Your dose, and how often you receive it, will be determined by your provider. Your healthcare provider may want you to take calcium and vitamin D supplements to help with your bone health. Talk with your team about what doses are right for you. You should drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Try to drink 8-10 glasses of non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated liquids a day.
Possible Side Effects of Pamidronate
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of pamidronate. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare side effect, however, it is important that you know about it and take steps to protect your dental health. The maxilla (upper jaw bone) and mandible (lower jaw bone) are normally covered by gum tissue. In the case of ONJ, this tissue is gone and the bone is exposed. Typical symptoms associated with ONJ are: pain, swelling or infection of the gums, loosening of the teeth, exposed bone (often at the site of a previous tooth extraction). Some patients may report numbness or tingling in the jaw or a "heavy" feeling jaw. ONJ may have no symptoms for weeks or months and may only be recognized by the presence of exposed bone. ONJ most often occurs soon after a dental procedure, though not always. Stop treatment with pamidronate at least 3 weeks prior to any dental procedures.
- Prior to starting therapy, you should have a complete dental exam, cleaning, and removal of any teeth in poor health.
- Dentures should be checked for proper fit.
- Brush your teeth after meals and at bedtime with a soft brush. Floss gently once a day. If your gums bleed, talk with your healthcare team to see if you can continue to floss.
- Check your teeth and gums in a mirror daily for any sores, swelling, loose teeth, pain or numbness, or other changes and report these to your dentist or oncology team immediately.
Changes in Laboratory Values
Pamidronate can cause imbalances in the electrolytes calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. This medication can also affect the kidneys, causing a rise in serum creatinine (a laboratory value that measures kidney function). Your healthcare team will periodically check these levels with blood tests and may give you supplemental electrolytes, if needed.
Bone, Joint and Muscle pain
Pamidronate can cause bone, joint and/or muscle pain that can be severe. This can occur from 1 day to several months after starting the medication. Report these symptoms to your provider, who can advise you on strategies to relieve the pain. Pain in the hip, thigh and groin can be caused by an atypical femur fracture. Notify your provider immediately of any new pain in this area.
Fever, Body Aches
More than half of the people receiving this medication experience fever and chills after the first infusion, which may be accompanied by muscle aches (also called myalgias). Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) may be used to relieve these side effects. Ask your healthcare team if you are able to take these medications if side effects occur. Many patients do not have these side effects after subsequent infusions.
There are several things you can do to prevent or relieve constipation. Include fiber in your diet (fruits and vegetables), drink 8-10 glasses of non-alcoholic fluids a day, and keep active. A stool softener once or twice a day may prevent constipation. If you do not have a bowel movement for 2-3 days, you should contact your healthcare team for suggestions to relieve the constipation.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

Recently I read an article on perl.com that really showed the strength of using SAX and family.
This got me going and experimenting with custom SAX event handlers and generators.
Now, the place I work is full of übergeeks - in the positive sense of the word - a few of them are building there own Personal Video Recorder and introduced me into a special XML format, called XmlTV. This format is used to describe TV program listings, like channel, hour and show that is on the telly.
Their favourite system, freevo, seems to be build with Python - and that is a pity off course. It should have been build in Perl. Looking at CPAN, we find a lot of modules that would aide in the development of such a thingy
Well, all this led to me developing a thingy that can generate this XMLTV format - theoretically from any source - in Perl (*** note: I put it offline, sometimes it is too dangerous to write perl modules ***). And I've build it as a SAX event generator, so you can plug it in into any application you want (?) if you prefer to work with XML stuff, that is.
I'm also toying around with Perl 5.8.0 recently and especially with the threading capabilities of Perl 5.8.0. I've written the classic Producer/Consumer application. And that got me wondering about the differences between the threading model in Perl and Java. I don't now how, but the low level threading support in Perl seems a bit too low-level for some stuff.
having read a book on Java threading (shame on me), I really would like the following constructs in Perl:
sub do_stuff : Synchronized {
# critical code section
synchronized {
Let's see what we can do in this area

Tori Spelling has dismissed speculation that she is battling an eating disorder.
"Oh my God, I'm not anorexic," Tori tells People. "I acknowledge that I look thin in photos. I get it."
Tori says that she's lost 40lbs since giving birth to her daughter Stella last June, but insists that she's healthy at her current weight.
"Obviously I don't want to lose any more weight," she says. "But people haven't seen me not pregnant in two and a half years. I'm eating healthy, I just have a crazy lifestyle."
The 90210 star, who also has 2-year-old son Liam, does admit that her busy schedule sometimes gets in the way of a healthy diet and says that there "needs to be some downtime."
"I'm the first to admit that sometimes I don't have the time to sit down for a well-balanced meal. Usually like you kind of just finish whatever your child doesn't eat. I'm like, 'Cool, you have a few pieces of hot dog left and one broccoli floret and a fry, I'll take it.' "
Tori was in Beverly Hills yesterday celebrating the launch of her new book, Mommywood.

Disclaimer- I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
For the longest time, I felt as though some part of me was missing. I thought it was friends once, friends that I have now, friends named Joey and Tristan and Ryou and Tea.
I was wrong.
I thought it was love, the love that I had lacked of a parent and child. But I had grandpa, and that love was as strong as the love between any father and son.
I was wrong.
I thought it was love, the love one has for the most precious being in the world to them. I found that in Tea, even if it held itself silent for the years of my youth.
I was wrong.
But one day, one blessed and cursed day, one day that changed my life and brought me sorrow and happiness, grief and joy, despair and hope.
The day I finished the Millennium Puzzle, the day I met Darkness.
At first, he existed without my awareness, a shadow in the light, a flicker in my mind. But soon I learned of my shadow, the Darkness that lived within and yet without me.
When we merged for the first time, I felt it. I felt... complete. I'm sure Darkness did too.
I didn't realize, of course, why I felt complete when I had Darkness in my soul for the first time. The signs were all there of course, from his name, Yami, Darkness, to his name for me, Hikari, Light. We were polar opposites at first, I was meek, you were proud, I was kind, you were ruthless, I was shy, you were confident.
Tea said she noticed it while we were dueling, that Yami and I were like two sides of a coin.
The bitter truth of that statement, what she did not realize at the time, haunts me. Yami and I are two sides of a coin, and together, we make a coin. You cannot have a one-sided coin, that just is not possible.
That's what we are, aren't we, Yami? Impossibilities. We are Yin and Yang, we make each other complete in a way that no one has ever dreamed of before, that has never been possible. You are the other half of my soul, not in the way that a husband and wife would say it for love, but you are literally my other half, the other part of my soul.
Shadi said I was fated for the puzzle. I know that's wrong. The puzzle came to me, we met out of necessity, because neither one of us is supposed to exist.
Pure Light cannot exist, not without Pure Darkness living alongside it.
Light and Dark. That is what we are. As long as we remain apart, I was incomplete because I was untainted, too pure for the world. You were incomplete because you were far too tainted, too impure, too ruthless for the world. Together, we became a true soul, a real person.
How is that? Wouldn't someone love to be a completely good person? Wouldn't others rather become a completely heartless person?
It doesn't work that way. Real souls aren't Light or Dark. They're both, they're Light and Dark mixed into the essence of a person. Some have more Light than others, but everyone has both Light and Dark within them. Having both evil and good, Dark and Light in you is what makes a person human.
Everyone has Light and Dark sides, but in us, it is far more apparent and obvious. You are my dark side, I am your light side. Your ruthlessness and desire for victory was tempered by my kindness and humility.
Without you, I am a light that is easily extinguished, I would go back to being bullied because I won't fight back, I would begin losing duels because I am too shy, too hesitant.
Without me, you would be as you were when you were first released, insane and power hungry, a desire for vengeance and justice aided by ruthlessness and cruelty. You would spiral back into the being you once were, the Pharaoh who took part in devastating his own kingdom.
When you call me partner, you know it's more than that, really. We are two parts of a whole, two pieces of a puzzle. Our half souls make each other complete, tempering each other's virtues with the other's virtues. That's the true reason why we merge in a duel, isn't it Yami? You could duel without me and probably win, but you would be summon the Shadow Games and battle ruthlessly and without respect, just as Kaiba would. And if I dueled, I would be nervous and without confidence, indecisive at moments when decisive action was needed.
We need it each other in a way that no one could ever really understand, even if we tried to explain. It goes beyond partnership, friendship, beyond love, beyond any word any tounge of any people has ever devised. It is the most basic need, the need to be complete.
When we merge, we are complete. When we do not merge, we are still slightly connected, and thus, we are able to live.
But, unknown to all of our friends, dueling is so much more to us than a game, than a battle, than a means to save the world. It is the only place either of us can really feel alive, feel that we are really human. It is a rush of intoxication that is unlike anything anyone else has ever experienced.
It is Joy, it is Freedom, it is the feeling of Life itself.
In battle we are free, we become just like anyone else.
Funny, isn't it? The one thing that sets us apart from anyone else, our dueling talents, is what makes us just like everyone else.
But that is the truth. If we are apart, not merged, our souls cry out to become one once more, a feeling of sundering and separation and utter loneliness when we first separate.
It is an addiction. The addiction to being alive.
They can never know, can they Yami that we are addicted to dueling, to life? That if we are apart neither of us is a real person, just an empty shell, half of a person?
The others would find that strange, wouldn't they? That Yami, the confident, slightly cocky and nearly unbeatable Yami could possibly need Yugi, the meek and shy one? But they never saw you as you truly are, before you tamed, before you settled and our connection stabilized you. But they did know me, know how meek and shy and without confidence I was without our connection to stabilize me and make me stronger.
You let your true self show once before in front of the other's, didn't you Yami? You showed them how ruthless you were when you almost killed Kaiba. But Tea's tears and the slight fear in the other's eyes mellowed you, allowing me to retake control. But I couldn't stop you when you used the Orichalcos, could I? Darkness grew back into what it once was, and there was no Light to shield the world from his wrath. You lost, and it proved something to you, didn't it? It proved that without my influence, you were nothing but Darkness.
I've dueled with you before, dueled and found myself lacking the skills you provide.
We're symbioses you and I. That's what we are, and more. Not only do we depend on each other for survival, we need each other to survive.
I think I hate you a little Yami, sometimes. I think I feel a resentment that burns in my heart that you tainted me. But I know it had to be done. I'd have probably been killed because of how I am, because I am Light, and purity simply cannot exist.
Do you resent me, Yami? Do you resent the fact that your ruthless, heartless demeanor has been broken and tamed, that you cannot use your Shadow powers the way you could in the days of old? Does that make you feel angry at being stripped of power and control? Does your blood boil at the thought of being forced to need me?
Or have you already accepted your fate, as I have? Because we both know that our fates, our souls are intertwined for the purpose of saving the other from themselves, underneath the prophecies and the saving the world deal. Were you sent here to help me? Was I allowed to solve the Millennium Puzzle because you needed me?
Or was it both?
Yes, perhaps that is the best answer. It was both these reasons why Dark and Light were brought together into one body for the purpose of balancing the other, to save the other from their own self.
Without my light, you would cease to be a man, and become a monster, a warrior without a purpose. But without your taint, I would cease to be a man, and just become a light unguarded, something precious unprotected.
Without the other, neither of us would be human, neither of us would have a true soul.
AN: Thanks for reading and please review!

Allen Shoup and winemaker Gilles Nicault have always experimented with small quantities of uniquely styled wines for their personal and family consumption. After years of trial and error, a few of these wines became too good not to share so they decided to make them available to their "extended family". Due to such small quantities, we've had to limit some selections to our Key Club members only.
If you are a Key Club member and don't see the option to buy the wines below, please click the "My Account" link at the top right of this page to log in. Then, when you return to this page, you will have access to each of the wines, unless they are sold out.
Please visit our Key Club page for information about our wine club and membership benefits.
Allen and Gilles share an affinity for Chardonnay and they have experimented for several years to perfect the style found in this wine. Elegant and layered with flavors and aromas of white peaches and baked apples complimented by hints of minerality and wet stone. Pure and balanced, it displays an impressive vibrant mouthfeel while staying rich and complex on the palate.
This unique Rosé of Pinot Gris is named after Allen's granddaughter, Julia, and is sourced from a special block from The Benches Vineyard at Wallula in Horse Heaven Hills. The grapes were left to hang until they developed a bright tint, then gently pressed and the clarified juice slowly fermented at cool temperatures to retain the wine's intensely vibrant aromatics and flavors. Fresh and lively with bright aromas and flavors of ripe strawberries and melon complimented by a racy acidity that lingers across a clean, off-dry finish.
The 2012 Côté Nicault GSM is a deep, inky colored wine with a broad flavor profile ranging from fresh, vibrant fruits like figs and plums to more savory notes of black olive tapenade and crushed white pepper. Polished tannins dance across a seamless mouth feel to express classic spiciness, while the wine's liveliness balances beautifully with its firm yet refined texture.
Deep and dark in color, with aromas and flavors of cherry, spice, mocha and an intriguing balance of richness and restraint. Layers of ripe fruit and complex flavors evolve as the wine carries across the palate. At once bright and dark with exceptional structure, this is a sophisticated and stylish wine.

If Brits don't talk about Botox, that doesn't mean they're avoiding the stuff. Transform, the UK's largest plastic surgery group, reports that 72 percent of women (and a whopping 81 percent of men) don't tell their friends and family when they get Botox or fillers. And record numbers of patients are staggering their procedures so that changes to their faces and bodies are gradual and therefore less likely to be noticed.
Given how common injectables like Botox are now, it's funny that there's still enough attendant shame to keep people from telling those closest to them. If you had a cosmetic procedure (or if you have already), would you proudly proclaim it, or keep it under wraps?

Finnish smart phone company Jolla is at this very moment starting the sales of it's brand new devices in Helsinki, Finland. The first Jolla phones will go to those who have pre-ordered the new device in advance. Talouselämä had a chat with Jolla CEO Tomi Pienimäki on the eve of the event.
With this device, Jolla Mobile, employing only 90 people, aims to challenge its gigantic rivals Google and Apple. How can Jolla succeed in this? Both Apple and Google are years ahead and have millions - even billions - of users in their ecosystems. But then, so did Nokia just a few years ago.
Let's take a look at the new device. Jolla device's design looks refreshing when compared to its competitors, but its technological spesifications do not dazzle. With a price of almost 400 euros one can buy more powerful hardware than what the Jolla phone offers. On the other hand after playing with phone for a few minutes there are no signs that the moderate dual-core processing power is a major bottleneck.
"This device and Sailfish operating system are based on the Meego operating system. Unlike competitors, Meego was originally designed for mobile phones", Pienimäki comments.
Multitask with me?
The user interface of the Jolla smart phone is very different than what Google, Apple and Microsoft offer. The obvious difference is that the device has no other control buttons than volume control and and the on/off switch. The user navigates in the phone by sweeping his or her finger on the screen: up and down, left and right.
Jolla differs from its competitors also in what the user sees on the front screen. When others show applications that can be used, Jolla shows the user all the applications that he or she is using at the very moment.
The user experience is built around multitasking. This means that the user can simultaneously run many different applications without closing and opening them one at a time. With the sweep of a finger he or she can move from one application to another.
"Once you're used to this system, you don't want to go back to the old way", Pienimäki insists. He does admit that multitasking is not the most emotional of marketing slogans.
Exploiting Android
The Jolla device runs applications developed specifically for Jolla - but also Android apps. This is something the other challengers in the smart phone sphere have not done.
It also means that Jolla's success does not depend solely on its capability of building its very own ecosystem. In stead, Jolla is able to utilize the great Android empire.
The Jolla device does not include Google's official application store, but it does include Russian Yandex. In addition, users can install eg. Amazon's app store into their Jolla device.
In addition to applications, Jolla exploits Android's ecosystem also in another way. Jolla's Sailfish operating system works in almost any Android device. Due to this Jolla can subcontract its devices for a reasonable price from any smart phone manufacturing company in Asia.
One more plus for Jolla is that the Android compatibility makes it very easy for other smart phone companies now using Android to change their OS to Jolla's Sailfish.
Tomi Pienimäki clearly takes pride in this Android compatibility. "As a technical feat this is something that no one else before has been able to do", he says.
According to Pienimäki, Jolla is also planning to let individual users to download Sailfish operating system into their Android-devices.
Ditch Android
But why would any smart phone company using Android want to change operation system when Google gives out Android for free? Maybe someone who is currently using Android without Google.
In China there are several companies such as Baidu and Xiaomi, which have modified the open Android OS into their own Google-less version. The most well know example in the West is probably Amazon's Kindle.
At the same time, Google is tightening its grip on Android. In the future manufacturing an Android phone without Google's apps and advertising systems can be more difficult than today. This might spark more interest towards Jolla.
But first Jolla has to prove that consumers get excited about its product. At the beginning, Jolla aims humbly to sell hundred of thousands of smart phones annually.

This is a follow-up on my previous post "Interest payment on national debt 3X annual cost of Iraq-Afghan wars."
America is a nation in debt up to our eyeballs. The American people are weighed down with personal debt. The federal government is an even worse offender because the gargantuan national debt it has incurred — and continues to accumulate — is a burden saddled on all of us, our children, grandchildren, and
Americans yet unborn.
Managing one's finances is not rocket science.
As in the case of losing weight, where the simple formula is "Eat fewer calories than you burn," finance management is also simple:
Don't spend more than you have!
Here's how one midde-class family managed to be debt-free and accumulate 1.5 million in assets with a common-sense yet simple formula:
- Never get into debt.
- Save half of their income.
- Buy everything, including cars and home, in cash instead of on installment.
Liberty family saves half their income and buys everything in cash, including their homes and cars
By Sloane Heller – KSHB.com – July 28, 2010
For the past 21 years, Ed Haskell, a Retired Air Force Officer and his wife Debbie Chasteen a college professor, have been saving about 50-percent of their income. On average, they bring in a combined total of $80,000.
But they don't deprive themselves of living. They've traveled domestically and internationally and donated to charities.
They went to China twice – each time they actually earned money by teaching while they were abroad. Debbie set up an exchange program so she could teach in the UK. The couple even splurged on a leisurely trip to Italy.
Today, the couple is sitting on a $1.5 million portfolio and plan to retire in their mid-50's.
Their secret? They pay everything, including their homes and cars in cash and contribute the maximum amount allowed to their retirement fund. That way, their federal and state taxes are lower and they don't pay interest.
They didn't buy their first house in Macon, Georgia, until they were in their mid-30's and paid cash. Their home in Liberty cost them $200,000. Again, they paid in cash.
Instead of buying a $40,000 car, they paid $18,000.
They don't buy every new gadget or service on the market, or eat out at restaurants 5-6 times a week.
Instead of spending $15,000 annually for private school tuition for their daughter, the family chose to live in a district with "great public schools and reasonable taxes," said Haskell.
The family handles their own investments. The couple has no credit card or debt of any kind and hasn't in 21 years.
Neither left school with any loan debts, instead they used scholarships, GI Bill benefits, and working part-time to cover their education expenses.
Instead of paying full price for retail items, they shop around for discounts, buy slightly used items, buy off-season and buy only what they need, not what they want.
"We didn't spend first and "try" to save later, instead paying ourselves first by maximizing tax deductible retirement savings contributions," said Haskell.
Haskell's advice: live below your means. Here's his advice:
- Maximize 401(k) and 403(b) contributions, at least up to the matching level by your employer. Also consider a Roth IRA.
- Make savings automatic – have it deducted out of your pay directly and into a bank or mutual fund account.
- Go online and comparison shop expenses like cell phone, television, internet service, insurance costs, etc.
- Write down your expenses and make a conscious effort to see if you're getting value for your spending.
- Educate yourself about basic investment knowledge. Invest in low cost index mutual funds.
- Set realistic annual savings goals at the beginning of each year.
- You have more control over your savings than your investment returns.
- Realize that everyone can save something from their income and don't make excuses like "If I only made more money I could then save."
- Live in a reasonably taxed location and one with good public schools.
- Be self-sufficient. Cut and fertilize your grass. Fix small house repairs.
- Pay cash and avoid credit card debt.

The Windows Media Player thing
I did some research concerning thin clients a few years ago.
The reason the TCX suite will only kick in if you use Windows Media Player is because it inserts custom components into the DirectShow filter chain used in that program.
A Wyse TCX component on the server side simply takes the encoded video and sends it to the client, where Wyse software is available to decode it.
This will work with other media players, too, like the lightweight Media Player Classic. Basically, as long as the media player uses the DirectShow filters, the TCX suite will step in to accelerate playback.
VLC does the decoding all on its own, without using DirectShow, so video tends to take much more CPU (both on the server and the client) and more bandwidth if you use VLC.
Citrix does much the same thing with their Remote desktop software, btw.

Short Final
Many years ago, I had to make a night flight from Cable Airport to Phoenix in a Cessna 150. The weather was clear, and I filed a VFR flight plan for N51139 and departed at 10:30pm. While climbing out over Ontario VOR (now PDZ), I contacted Ontario Approach (now SoCal) for flight following, got a squawk, and was advised of radar contact, then settled in for the long flight. The frequency was quiet at that late hour, and I guessed the controller was bored. He must have looked up our flight plan, because the next thing I heard was:
"Cessna 51139, are you an orange and white Cessna?"
"That's affirmative for 51139."
"Pretty good radar, isn't it?"

Dear Family Advisor
My dad wants to double-date with me!
Last updated: May 12, 2008
Mom died about a year ago, and in the last couple of months, my 80-year-old dad has gotten more and more flirtatious with women, everywhere we go. It's kind of funny, but it's also embarrassing. Last week we were at his optician's, and he asked out a woman right in front of me. He'd known her for years, and she said, "Yes." And then he said, "Let's double-date with my son and his wife."
I was floored! I mumbled "OK," but since then, I've realized he only asked me along because he no longer drives. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this, and I feel used. I'm OK with Dad wanting to date, but I'm not sure I want to be a part of it.
Also, I mentioned it to my sister and she's really upset. She says it's too soon, and she's mad at me for agreeing. What do I do now?
Sounds like it might be time for the old son-to-father talk. Whether you like it or not, you're now involved in this new phase of your dad's life and you're going to have to continue to be, if only from a distance.
It's the ultimate payback for what we put our parents through when we started dating and discovered sex, isn't it? Now we find ourselves worrying about their safety, hoping they won't get their hearts broken, and wishing they'd find someone who truly cares for them. And we can only hope our parents don't turn out to be as difficult as many of us were!
Before you do anything, consider whether your dad is physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy enough to date. Is he cognitively healthy enough not to be taken advantage of? He may not be acting like the dad you always knew, but that's different from being unsafe.
Then set up healthy father-son guidelines and boundaries now, as it will save you many headaches later. It sounds as if you don't wish to be directly involved, and that's probably best. Relationships don't always work out, and it may be uncomfortable for you to see your dad with someone -- or several other women -- other than your mom. You can tell him that, while still letting him know that you think it's OK for him to date. Keeping a distance may also be useful if you need to intervene at some future date.
Because your dad can't drive, you can help him plan for alternative transportation. Suggest a taxi or offer to drop him off at a convenient restaurant or movie theater. This may feel a little like you're dropping your 15-year-old off at the movies. And Dad may balk at it, but if he wants to date badly enough, he'll deal with it. Reassure him that older women aren't necessarily "turned off" when a man doesn't drive -- many are grateful for the male company and attention.
Is your dad's suggestion that you double-date a way of using you? Maybe, though I doubt it's intentional. To him, it may not feel that different than relying on you to take him to the eye doctor or grocery store. And he may just want you there in the beginning until he regains his confidence. It's a big transition for both of you: He's figuring out who he is now, and you're learning how to have a relationship with him without your mom.
You probably need to give Dad a few pointers on senior dating, and maybe suggest that he tone it down a bit if you think he's coming on to every woman he meets. Like everyone else, seniors can contract sexually transmitted diseases, and someone who's been in a stable, monogamous relationship might need an update on what's "going around." You also want to make sure that your dad isn't being taken advantage of financially. Even if you don't double-date, you should meet anyone he's seeing regularly. If she doesn't want to get to know his family, that's a good indication that she might have ulterior motives.
Your father is no doubt lonely and bored, but he should also know that dating isn't the only way to fix that. He could get involved with a senior group or club or do volunteer work where he would meet people close to his own age. He may or may not find a partner, but he can make new friends and have a good time.
Will this be awkward for both of you? Probably, at least at first. Your dad might be embarrassed by some of it, and he might even lash out at you, like a teenager -- but he may also appreciate your input.
In fact, this could end up being an enjoyable period for you. Your father is attempting to seize life and reach out to the world, and in some ways that's a gift for both of you at his age. Helping him deal with his new romantic life is a point of connection -- something you can talk about and share. Having honest and open discussions now will also make it easier to talk about other issues, such as his health and future.
Finally, your sister is clearly not as comfortable with all this because she's still grieving the loss of your mom. Everyone is on a different timetable -- and your father's is probably expedited because he feels he isn't getting any younger. You can try explaining this to your sister, but you may still just want to handle this area of care giving yourself. Don't feel that you need to report all the details to her.
Like you, your sister is protective of her dad and worried about his safety. At any age, it's nice to have someone to watch out for us, and love is risky business. But if he has a chance of finding a companion, isn't that worth a little unease to you?

Samsung has offered Developer Editions of its phones in the past, including the Galaxy S III, largely to avoid that problem and appease the dev crowd. Today, that tradition continues with the Galaxy Note II which has now appeared on the company's site in a similar hacker-friendly model.Read More

Anyway, Karimadon--which I adore for two reasons: the pretty dresses and its owner Josie Go (in pink)--just launched their small but well stocked branch in Glorietta 5 early this week.
(the two girls leftmost) with the Kiehl's girls
OK!'s Kabbie Rodriguez and FemaleNetwork's Trixie Reyna
Then off to Serendra for dinner with my darling friend Mariel. I wanted to go to Hobbes to check out some pet supplements, to Charles & Keith for shoes and to Fully Booked for, well, books. But Balducci's cool interiors enticed me and I just sat in this wonderfully cozy restaurant while Mariel was buying my (two years delayed!) wedding gift--a clever corkscrew from Alessi. Thanks, neighbor! We love it!
Anyway, after dinner, Mariel and I headed off to Dessert Row for the launch of the Kerastase chocolate treatment. I wasn't able to get a sample but I did get to taste some wonderful chocolates. And boy, it was even hotter at Serendra. So everyone I took pics of had sweaty faces!

I would've posted more photos but I know my friends would kill me if I posted anything with shiny, sweaty cheeks and foreheads! And that's my week!

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Land Rover Discovery II SE
We've learned the expensive way that the Land Rover Discovery is made cheaply (?) but the repairs and parts are expensive and is very difficult to work on and to find someone who knows how aside from the outrageous dealer.
I support my disabled brother and can't afford for a dealer to be involved--or for any unnecessary work. He loves this model and can't let it go, and we can't afford another vehicle.
Last Aug, this Discovery began overheating several times, with the gauge slowly showing hotter and hotter. My brother drove it too long and it quit running. We took it to a highly recommended mechanic who did do work on Land Rovers and were told the aluminum sleeves were melted and the engine would need replaced. It was replaced with a 70,000 mile engine along with the power steering pump. The radiator was said to be okay, but a hose was replaced as well.
My brother was driving on the interstate a week ago when the temperature gauge *suddenly* went all the way over as far as it could. He drove it about a mile and it was barely able to go when he found a spot to park.
We had it towed to a good mechanic the family uses, but he doesn't work on Land Rovers. He said he'd try to check it out. (The previous engine mechanic is an hour away and kept it for 2 months.) We hoped this regular mechanic could diagnose the problem first.
This mechanic says when driven, it does become *immediately* hot--gauge going all the way over in just a few minutes. HOWEVER, he let it idle almost an hour and a half with NO overheating at all. (I assume that means there's no blown gasket--except in my head--and no melted sleeves??)
He said he'd seen this one other time when a radiator had a blockage in it. We asked if he could take out the radiator and examine it (without automatically replacing it) but he says he doesn't think it's the radiator on this vehicle. ??
I've used this answer service before successfully and appreciate the expertise here. I count on you, please, to release this question if you don't have the expertise with *this model* because advising as if it were any other model/maker may not be helpful. THANK YOU
Hello, I'm Chris. Thanks for visiting Just Answer.
I am sorry you have had to wait so long for the first contact. Sometimes this happens when the question you ask is not detailed enough or its just hard to address online. Many have viewed your post, but have passed. I am checking to see if you still need help. I am not going to lie, this concern is not my strongest point, but I will do my best to help you. I have access to many repair sites, so at the least I can provide something to address at least part of your concern if it is not something I can address from memory and experience. I mainly work in the last half of the day, so that is when I do all of my responding. If there is anything else you can add to your concern to help me out more so I can help you out in turn please do so in your next reply. Once you get an answer, you will be prompted to rate me. You are rating my help, not the website, or answer. If you feel the need to rate negative, please save the rating so I can try again or find someone whom may be able to help better. Thanks for using our site, we will do all we can to earn your business, again sorry we did not get to you sooner. Chris>>
I appreciate your willingness to check in with me. Is it that there's not enough information provided (I don't know what more to provide)?
--Or the problem is that it is a Discovery with this odd problem?
And I appreciate you saying "this" isn't your strong point--do you mean, I suppose, it being a Land Rover?
Were there to be a mechanic available who was well-experienced with Discovery's and had an answer or a good idea about this, I would gladly pay whatever direct guidance would require because I do not have experienced guidance availble here (small city). I understand the $37 is small exchange for someone who could save me thousands in preventing the junking of this vehicle. But I didn't know how to show that in my question. Or if through your resources, you were to find experienced guidance, I would increase the fee.
Is it possible that if you can't point to an exact answer, you're able to guide on a general process of elimination?
Does the fact that the engine will run for over an hour on idle not tell us the engine is okay?
Given that--aren't other possibilities quite limited ? to radiator? hoses? lines? water pump? IS there any "zebra" possible in the mix you can think of ?
Do you have thoughts on how you would approach it if you had to?
I don't want to take advantage of the small amount of $37--which I will gladly pay just for you not leaving me stranded with no response--but hopefully you can answer these general questions if nothing else--I won't take advantage of your kindness.
Please respond when you conveniently can--being the weekend! Nothing can happen with the Rover till Monday anyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Step one is to perform a cylinder compression test to see if any are low below 115 psi and to see if all are within 10% of the min and max reading. If the compression test passes then great, the next thing will be to remove the thermostat and heater core hoses and radiator hoses, then flush the components to clean them out forward and backward as well to verify good flow.
Next reconnect everything with a new thermostat and refill with water only. Let it idle for 15 minutes with the radiator cap off, once at operating temp verify the cooling fan works. Once all air pockets are hot verify it does not overflow coolant. Then raise the rpm to 2000 and run it to see if it overheats. If it still does not overflow nor overheat then cap it off and retest. If it overheats now then odds are its combustion gas getting into the cooling system.
If it does not overheat I then suggest you replace the water pump and clean the radiator and condenser fins with a pressure washer and refill with the correct coolant mix.
