Ratings for Dr. Michael G. Hummer
This was THE MOST unprofessional, disgraceful treatment of a doctors office that I have ever received. I am new to the Austin area and was referred to Dr Hummer around 6-9 months ago. It was a 4month wait but I decided to wait it out, thinking he must be busy because he is a good at what he does. I received a call from the office about a week before my appt to cancel bc the doctor had a personal trip. It clearly it wasn't an emergency bc the call was 2 weeks before the appointment) . There was no apology or compassion on the other end. I thought that due to the fact that I had waited for so long and it was being cancelled for personal reasons, that they would work something out to work me in sometime in the next couple of weeks. Not the case at all. I was rescheduled just as if I had called for the first time that day. I wait another three to four months. I decided to be patient in order to see Dr Hummer. The date they had available for me was a date that I was expected to be on a trip for work. I lost the travel fare. I eventually found someone to send in my place so that I did not disappoint ta client in the same manner that I was treated. But I did disappoint my team in order to take care of myself and see Dr Hummer. . I Received a call TODAY ( THE day of the appointment to cancel). The reason was that the doctor isn't taking anymore clients with my "official" diagnosis/presenting problem. I don't want a diagnosis from him to help me with medication. I don't even want medication from him. All I want is to understand some abnormal and all-consuming symptoms I am suffering from get . As well as to understand it better and find a natural alternative to the present treatment of these baffling symptoms of my diagnosis and treatment. Again, I received no apology or understanding of my issues. Trey were rude, defensive and so unattractive to me on the phone that I would never see or recommend anyone ever to this practice. The two women I spoke with actually made an excuse abou some paper work and claimed to remember ( 8 months ago!!:)lol) speaking to me specifically asking me to send them some information. I asked her to tell me anything else about our call, what unique issue I am having and why I want to see the doctor. She couldn't answer the question. I spoke with her about it for ten minutes and she didn't remember it. But she remembered specifically asking me about paperwork. I doubt it. And even if that were the case, then she needs to get her priorities straight in terms of what to remember about a client who is explaining her experience of very real fear and suffering ! I NEVER leave feed back on these sites but I feel a responsibility to anyone seeking neurological attention, to caution you from making an appointment here. The unfortunate thing is that I never even got to see Dr Hummer. He might be a kind person, but to try and see him is not worth the hassle, the disruption, the aggressive staff and the unprofessionalism. There are WAY TOO MANY gracious compassionate practices in the city to even bother with this one.
Dr was ok but his staff were rude, unorganized & promulgated a very negative stigma of mentall illness by their treatment of my husband. Ultimately we were treated as sick, stupid and undeserving of help wich left us with hand written referrals that were illegible. It is hard enough to seek treatment and when you finally do and are treated like this it is very discouraging. Do not go to this Doctor.
Dr. Michael Hummer is the finest doctor I've ever known. In a long chronic illness, I've met too many. Dr. Hummer outshines them all in knowledge, compassion, empathy and care. He is a brillaint, joyful man who I feel honored to know. I've been his patient for 12 years and he's never once treated me with anything less than absolute kindness & respect. He has stabilized a complicated condition that was out of control & dehabilitating. While under his excellent care, I have seen substantial improvement. I cannot say enough about Dr. Hummer's overall goodness. I hold him in the highest of high regard. If all doctors were even half the doctor he is, there would be less suffering in the world.

Suki's favorite possession is her blue cotton kimono. A gift from her obachan, it holds special memories of her grandmother's visit last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to school — no matter what anyone says. When it's Suki's turn to share with her classmates what she did during the summer, she tells them about the street festival she attended with her obachan and the circle dance that they took part in. In fact, she gets so carried away reminiscing that she's soon humming the music and dancing away, much to the delight of her entire class! Filled with gentle enthusiasm and a touch of whimsy, Suki's Kimono is the joyful story of a little girl whose spirit leads her to march — and dance — to her own drumbeat.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Tuscany, including the notable surname Alfoti. The surname Alfoti was created from the Latin personal name "Alfunus."
Alfoti Early Origins
Tuscany, then capital of the kingdom of Italy. On the River Arno there are numerous Florentine Churches, Museums, Galleries, dating back to 313 A.D. The history is complex and turbulent. The de' Medici family are the notables. They were expelled in 1494 but they returned in 1512, out in 1527 and then returned. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry. The first on record of the name appears to be Lapo Alfani, Italian poet, mentioned in 1290.
Alfoti Spelling Variations
Alfoti Spelling Variations
Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of Alfoti include Alfano, Alfani, Elfano and others.

Scott Moore Leaving CBC To Manage All Of Rogers' TV Properties
Published November 10, 2010
CBC Sports Exec Dir and CBC Revenue Group GM Scott Moore yesterday revealed that he is leaving the network, and he reportedly "will move to Rogers to work for" Rogers Media President Keith Pelley as the "person in charge of all Rogers TV properties -- including Sportsnet, CITY TV and its specialty channels," according to sources cited by Bruce Dowbiggin of the GLOBE & MAIL. The news is a "major shock for CBC as it gears up to make its bids for the next Olympic TV cycle and then to retain its portion of the NHL broadcast contract in Canada." Moore is "highly regarded in the industry, and CBC will need to find someone quickly with credibility to handle those crucial bid processes." Moore also was "in the process of evolving 'Hockey Night in Canada's' role at the CBC," and "how his departure changes that is unclear." Sources said that a "combination of factors might have influenced his move." Moore was "recently passed over for the presidency of CBC in favour of Kirstine Stewart," and the CTV/Rogers Canadian Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium "has announced it's coming back to bid for the 2014/2016, making a CBC bid to get back into the Olympic game very problematic." Also, the CBC's NHL package is "being targeted by a possible Rogers and/or TSN tag team on the next negotiations." Dowbiggin reports the CBC "has announced that responsibility for CBC Sports is being assumed on an interim basis by senior director David Masse," while Jack Tomik "will lead the CBC Revenue Group, responsible for marketing, sales and business development." Meanwhile, Rogers Sportsnet President Doug Beeforth yesterday announced that he is "leaving the network at the end of this year" (GLOBESPORTS.com, 11/9).
PELLEY'S BIG MOVE: In Toronto, Chris Zelkovich profiled Pelley, the former Canadian Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium President. When Pelley "walked away from the top job at the CTV-Rogers Olympic consortium three months ago, the shock waves went off the Richter scale at CTV," as he "had spent 16 years at CTV-owned TSN and many assumed he was in line to replace" CTV CEO Ivan Fecan. While none of Pelley's former TSN colleagues would comment on his latest move, "all are watching to see if the guy who's become one of the best fixers in the sports and media business can patch things up with outraged Toronto Blue Jays fans still smarting over the launch of Sportsnet One." Pelley is "thrilled about the prospect of overseeing an improving Blue Jays team, wants to promote the team across Rogers' many platforms and sees the Buffalo Bills series growing to include participation by the Argos and Toronto's university teams." He is "promising even more Jays coverage in the future as Sportsnet One grows, including magazine shows and spring training coverage" (TORONTO STAR, 11/7).

text: Ate at Houston's in Los Angeles this weekend. Normally, I order wine by the glass there as my husband likes beer, but this time we got a bottle. Waiter brings it over and asks if we've had it before. We say yes. Waiter says, "oh, then you don't need to taste it." I explain that we should still taste it to make sure it's okay. He says, "well, if it's not okay, we better call our distributor." I explain that every now and then a bottle goes bad and that cork is a natural product and sometimes something goes wrong. Waiter proceeds to pour w/o letting us taste. He then attempts to stuff the cork back into the bottle. As he is struggling, I tell him to leave it out that I want the wine to open up. I look around and notice other tables with the corks back in the bottle. I didn't say anything as I knew my husband and our guest would be uncomfortable, but am I off base in thinking this was poor service? I eat out a lot and have never had wine service like that. The rest of the service was fine. I think the guy was just inexperienced.

The rumor mill hath finally ended, thankfully. Yesterday gamers around the world were entranced as Microsoft unveiled its third Xbox console, crushing the rumor mill once and for all with the true name, Xbox One. What happened to 720, Durango, Stingray, and Infinity? Gone, and it goes to show us all that they were most likely all generated just to garner the classic 15 minutes of fame, or they were just completely misled by Microsoft from the beginning. Either way it's a sad, depressing day for those rumor makers. But what about us gamers? It was "Xbox Reveal Day" after all; how did the unveil go, and what can we expect this November? Hit the link below for all the details on One!
The rumors were right, and now we have an official release date. Call of Duty: Ghosts will hit store shelves in, wait for it, November of this year. Yes, November. Pretty shocking, isn't it? /sarcasm. The official release date is November 5th, and according to the poster below, appears to keep the modern, SOF-approach that appears to never get old with the COD audience. Who remembers the original Call of Duty for PC, where the sound was so real it felt like you were actually in Germany? I digress; hit the link below for the official Ghosts game poster, and if you want more on Ghosts, expect more from Activision tomorrow.

This will be a quick post. Here's a nail colour I'm loving a lot recently. I've been looking for a perfect nude and I think I've just found it! It's really difficult to find "your nude" if you know what i mean. if it's too light, it looks ashy or dead and if it's too dark, well... it only looks brown.
Many girls i know, don't like to wear nude on their nails. But I think it makes your hand look more neat (?!?) if that makes sense and Oh-so- Classy.
It just goes with everything! Office, party or just a day out. It wont clash with anything you wear.

The polish goes on smooth. It's almost opaque in 2 coats. But i prefer 3. The polish is not too runny neither too thick. it's quite easy to work with. However takes some time to dry completely. I donot have a top coat on the the Polish in these pictures. It's been almost 6 months that i bought the polish but the consistency or the formulation hasn't changed, unlike my Lakme polishes.
Downside: The availability is an issue. If you guys know where to find New U polishes online or in Kolkata, please lemme know in the comments below....pretty please.

Parents and Friends of Christ the King College
The members of the PTA Committee have recently met to discuss their involvement with the College and students. As the College has grown and extended the age range, so too the students have changed. The PTA are keen to continue working with and supporting the College, but have agreed to disband as a "PTA" and become "Parents and Friends of Christ the King College". Many events that take place are now organised by the students for the students, and this is how it should be as the students grow and develop. The Parents and Friends of Christ the King College would very much like to support the students in their efforts and trust that as parents you would also become involved with any activity that your child is involved in. Therefore, in future we will contact all parents for support, as and when events are organised. We do hope you will support the College and the students in any future events. Please keep an eye on the website and the weekly parent bulletin for details.
Thank you, The Parents and Friends of Christ the King College

I'm on Fire
Lois Lane was pretty much at the end of her rope with Clark Kent. Looking back over the past month, the city was still in turmoil and chaos was all around them, but Clark was the guiding force behind reconstruction and the city's hope for the future of Metropolis.
But to her, it appeared as if he were two different people. Outside of the Planet office, he was outgoing, friendly and even talkative to the people whom he had rescued. Lois was there a few times, and of course he was in the suit. She was transfixed but also afraid she may never see him up close and personal ever again. It felt like a lifetime ago. Shaking her head to dislodge those memories, but they refused to go away. His rescues of her on the spaceship, the shuttle, and finally the fall from the plane were precious memories. She would never forget the look on his face and her complete acceptance of him. It still rang true in her heart. It was becoming impossible for her to forget, but she did not want to forget.
His first day at the Planet offices also rang true. He seemed happy to be there, to be with her. Now everything has changed, and she was beginning to think she may have the answer. He was afraid of her, afraid to get too close.
She looked up from her thoughts and Clark walked in. It was apparent to her that he had just come from a rescue. He straightened his tie, smoothed his hair, and pushed his glasses up his nose. She grinned and shook her head at him. Then their gazes locked, the air left her lungs and made it difficult to breathe, and the world shrank to just the two of them, just like always. She couldn't look anywhere else, but at his face, and he apparently felt the same way about her.
They continued to stare for another heart stopping moment then she couldn't take it anymore. She looked down at her notes, confused and upset. Why did he continue to do this to me, sending mixed messages, and it's driving me totally crazy. She did not know what to do.
"Hi, Lois." It was him.
She refused to look at him. "Can I help you Mr. Kent?"
"I thought we had decided you would call me Clark?" He came closer and feeling bold sat down on the edge of her desk.
Lois did not know why she was being formal by calling him that, but ever since their first date had turned into a disaster, with him running off mere minutes after they had sat down to eat, and leaving her hanging, the name seemed to fit. She finally looked up into his face and then her heart began to pound by the look on his face. He was teasing her.
"As I said, can I help you … Mr. Kent?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Lois, please let me apologize for the other night." She was silent. "I'm truly sorry, but you know it could not be helped." He paused as he watched her pretend to be busy. "I was hoping we could check out that new movie that premiered the other night, you know the one, about the missing heiress and the detective who found her and of course, they fall in love."
"You want to take me to a romcom? Really, Clark, I mean Mr. Kent?"
"It's not a romcom. It's dramedy. He rescues her a few times. You may like it." He had to smile at that comment.
She refused to return his smile. "Well, I suppose."
"Lane, Kent, get in here!" That was Perry. He was curious about those two. Lois was an established journalist while Kent was a stringer, a freelancer. Their writing styles were similar but not exactly the same, which in his mind would make a pretty solid team. He wanted to test the waters first to see how they worked together.
"What is it, Chief?" Lois asked as she and Clark came into Perry's office.
"Take a seat." They sat down. He paced for a minute as he watched them closely. "I have an idea, now it will not be set in stone until I can see how you two work together."
Lois and Clark glanced at each other and spoke at the same time. "Work together?"
"Yes, work together. Now, as I said, it is not set in stone." He approached his desk and picked up his notes. "Gotham City has been experiencing an uptick in crime even since the invasion. The criminals had apparently left Metropolis for Gotham. We have a branch office there and I want you two to set up shop at that office and work together to generate stories."
"How long would be … working together?" That was Clark. He didn't have any problem with working in Gotham, but of course, conducting rescues in the city may not sit well with Batman. He had never met him, and he had no desire to change that fact.
"No more than a week," Perry responded. "Well, how soon can you leave?"
"Tomorrow," they both answered him at the same time.
"How do you keep doing that?" He shook his head at them. "Go on, I'll call Travel and have them set up an itinerary. Check with them before you leave the office today."
"Right Chief," Lois said as she glanced at Clark. He did not seem concerned about them working together. Lois was OK with it on the outside, but inside she wanted him to the point of distraction. Damn him, she thought.
"Right … Ummm, never mind," Clark said. He glanced at Lois, and she seemed keen with this assignment. He, on the other hand, wanted to run the other way. He wanted to get closer, but he was terrified of hurting her.
They left Perry's office, each with their own thoughts. But of course they could not seem to think how they could work together when they were barely speaking.
Lois had found it odd that Clark wanted to be in a car instead of flying there on his own. Gotham was not that far only about a hundred miles or so.
"Is this weird for you, being in a car?" She couldn't help asking. He was staring into space not saying anything. "Relax Clark, we should arrive in about an hour and a half, no more than that."
He then managed a few words. "Thanks, Lois." The fact was that he wanted to be with her if only for an hour made all of this tolerable. He told himself he was being silly, but it was a real concern and without Jor-El to talk to about this issue, he needed to be sure. Face it; I can never be sure about having sex with a human woman. I may have to take that leap of faith … again.
"Clark, we're here. Let's go, move it!"
"Oh, sorry, Lois," He said and exited the car.
This particular branch of the Planet offices were much smaller than Metropolis. It was located on the top floor of a two-story building, and the city desk editor greeted them. His name was Aaron Jones. They shook hands and Aaron showed them to an office they could share.
"This isn't bad," Lois commented. "We should check-in with Perry about any leads he may have. Commissioner Gordon has agreed to meet with us later today."
"You know I've read up on him. He has close ties with Batman."
"Yes, I know. I'm curious about this Batman. He's extremely elusive, not like you."
"No, I'm pretty upfront about that, no secrets."
Lois frowned at him, sat down at her desk and punched out a story before their meeting. They were all business as usual each glancing at the other every now and then, making eye contact but refused to broach the subject of their non-relationship.
Live feeds from various news sources were constant on the monitor in their office. They were exceptionally busy from the moment they had arrived and barely made their scheduled meeting with Commissioner Gordon. They both decided to use cabs during their stay in Gotham. It saved a lot of time.
"Ms. Lane, Mr. Kent, it's good to meet you, especially you, Ms. Lane. You're quite famous. Please take a seat." He greeted them warmly.
"Thank you, Commissioner." Lois and Clark took a seat. "You're very busy it seems," Lois commented.
"Yes, I'm sorry to say, ever since the unfortunate happenings in Metropolis, the criminals feel they have a better chance of getting away with crimes here in our city. Superman is a steady presence in Metropolis, and now we have to deal with it the best way we can."
"And Batman helps you … deal with it?" Clark asked, curious about him, although he still had no desire to meet him.
"Yes, he does. You see, Batman is one of the good ones. I have a 'bat signal' to contact him when things get dicey. Oh, I know his costume may strike fear into people, but that is the point. The criminals do not have a chance, once he shows up."
"A bat signal?" Clark asked, intrigued.
"Yes, I can show it to you if you'd like?" The Commissioner was proud of the signal. It had been his idea.
"Of course, a little later would be fine," Lois replied. "But tell me, Commissioner, how does Bruce Wayne fit into all of this?" Lois asked.
"Bruce Wayne, but why would he have anything to do with crime in this city? He's a billionaire, too busy for that type of thing."
"We know that but, maybe he could give us some insight into how he deals with the crime. I know he is a busy man, and he does own half the city, but we would like to interview him," Lois said.
"Well, I do have his number. He has spoken to reporters in the past, but I can't guarantee that he will give an interview." He gave them the number.
"Thanks, Commissioner," Clark said. An hour later and after viewing the bat signal, they left his office. Gordon had been forthcoming. He told them about the petty crimes and a few high crimes that had been committed related to a few drug deals. Those crimes had occurred since the Kryptonian invasion.
While in the cab on their way to their hotel, Lois called Bruce Wayne. "Mr. Wayne, this is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet."
"Ms. Lane?" There was a pause. "It's lovely to hear from you. How can I help you?" Lois glanced at Clark. She had a smug smile on her face.
Bruce Wayne was a rich billionaire and a chick magnet if the rumors were to be believed. Clark was immediately uncomfortable with Lois meeting with him. He would be there of course.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Wayne. Would you be available, say this evening, for dinner to discuss the recent uptick of crime in your city. I know this is short notice, but I will not be in town but only for a few hours. I would appreciate it."
Clark narrowed his eyes at her blatant lie.
"Well, I do have plans later this evening, but how about we meet for cocktails say at five o'clock at the Mandarin?"
"I'll be there. Thank you, Mr. Wayne." She hung up.
"Lois, you didn't mention me?" He frowned. "What's going on?"
"Look, Clark, Mr. Wayne rarely gives interviews, and I thought I could entice him with the idea that we would be alone. Once he gets there, you can show up unexpected. I know it's a lot to ask, but this is terribly important to us."
"Important to us?" Clark was not sure about that.
"Clark, I know we can work together as a team, but in this instance, I'm the top banana, I have more experience than you, and you should follow my lead."
"I guess so, alright, just this once." He couldn't refuse her and she was right about having more experience in more ways other than journalism. Top banana? He was shocked that he would think about sex right now. As if having no control over them, his eyes roamed over her long legs then slowly traveled up her skirt to her waist. They were immediately fixated on her chest, then up her smooth throat, and her eyes were staring at him. He blinked and did not know what to say. "Lois … I …" His heart was pounding.
He was doing it again, staring at me. She burned for him everywhere his eyes touched her, she couldn't deny it. Her heart pounded, as well.
"We're here folks, the Mandarin Hotel," the cabby announced.
They both snapped out of it, Clark paid the cabbie, and they headed into the hotel. They were forty-five minutes early for their meeting with Wayne, so Clark decided to get a quick bite to eat in the restaurant while Lois went into the bar and waited for him.
After finishing his quick meal, he went to the lobby and waited for Bruce. Fifteen minutes later, Bruce walked in. Everyone in the lobby stared at him. Clark had to admit that he did have a certain presence, and the ladies were acting ridiculous, smiling and acting silly, giggling and whispering behind their hands. Clark rolled his eyes and would not have been surprised if they asked the man for his autograph.
Clark watched as he entered the bar and went to sit beside Lois. He listened to them.
"Ms. Lane? I knew it was you. How could I forget? How long has it been?" Bruce was a true flirt in every sense of the word. They shook hands, and he actually kissed her cheek. What the hell? Clark thought.
Lois shook her head at him. "We've never met, Mr. Wayne."
"I could have sworn we've met before," he said. Bruce then ordered a drink and continued to talk about their non-meeting over two years ago. Lois was actually at a news conference when he had announced the satellite that, unfortunately, had been destroyed during the invasion.
"I heard about the satellite. I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne."
"Thank you, Lois. May I call you that?" Bruce asked, smiling.
"Of course, and can I call you Bruce?"
Before he could answer her, Clark walked over to them. "Hi, Lois, sorry I'm late," Clark said and frowned, and waited for Lois to introduce them.
Bruce stood up and held out his hand. "Bruce Wayne and you are?"
"Clark Kent and I'm a reporter just as Ms. Lane here," Clark said.
"I see," Bruce said and looked between them. "Are you two partners?"
"No," Lois said.
"Yes," Clark said.
Bruce chuckled. "So, which is it?" He sat down. Clark did the same.
Lois spoke up before Clark could ruin it. "Clark is fairly new to the Daily Planet and this trip is sort of a training ground for him, right Clark?"
"You could say that," Clark admitted.
"Well, do you have any questions for me, Mr. Kent?" Bruce asked.
"Yes, I do. What do you know about this Batman character? I understand he fights crime with a Bat costume. Have you met him?"
Instead of answering him, he had a question. "Is that why you're here, to get some kind of scoop on Batman? I should be insulted," he huffed.
Lois gave Clark a look. "Of course not, Mr. Wayne, I mean, Bruce. Clark and I wondered if you had any information about your involvement with stopping this new influx of crime in your city? We understand you have every right to be extremely upset by it."
"Well, not as upset as that Kryptonian wrecking crew who arrived over a month ago," Bruce replied.
Clark's back went up. "Are you referring to Superman?"
"Of course, I am. He destroyed my satellite. Who's going to pay for that? Him, I doubt it," Bruce declared getting upset.
"You must have insurance on it?" Lois asked.
He shook his head at her. "Now Lois, surely you know that an alien invasion are not part of any insurance contract that I have ever seen," Bruce said, and wondered if she were serious or making a joke.
"None of it was his fault," Lois said feeling the need to defend Clark.
"Of course it was. The Kryptonians came to Earth for him. He could have stopped all of that carnage if he wanted to, but he didn't."
"Now, wait a minute," Clark began but Lois interrupted him.
"Mr. Wayne, pardon my language, but what the hell are you talking about? I was there."
"You were there?" Bruce asked shocked.
"Yes, I was there. I wanted to help him. Superman was alone during the entire fight. To make matters worse, the military actually tried to kill him until they realized he was not a threat. He had no one to help him. The Kryptonians were powerful beings, maybe even more than Superman because they had been trained to fight their entire lives, hell, they were born that way, so you need to come down off your high horse and think about what you're saying."
All during Lois' defense of him, Clark stared at her with new eyes. She was a maniac when it came to him. She had always been that way, and he could not help but be drawn to her. He had given it has best shot to stay away from her, but it was just not possible. He had been a fool to ignore her, but no more.
"Well, I see. I've read your articles about him, Ms. Lane and I have to say you are hardly a reference for his … character or anything he stands for." He stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date."
They watched him leave with mouths agape. They turned to each other. "That went well," Clark deadpanned.
"Perry is going to kill us." She finished her bourdon in one gulp.
He took her hand. "Lois, you were magnificent. Thank you."
"Well, he deserved it."
He shook his head at her. "Let's get out of here."
Smiling, they left the hotel and started walking. Feeling bold, he took her hand. They did not speak but were content just to be able to have this moment.
A few blocks from the hotel, they turned a corner, and an alley appeared on their left. Lois was on the inside closest to the alley. A crook reached out and tried to grab her purse. "Hey, stop, come back here!"
Clark caught him before he could reach the end of the alley. "Hand it over." Clark saw the weapon. "Don't even think about it."
The crook pulled out a gun. Lois arrived and saw the weapon. She stood behind him when a few shots were fired. They bounced off his chest. Lois screamed at the sound. The crook looked at his gun then back at Clark. The gun was taken from his hand and then he tucked it inside his back pocket. He handed Clark her purse. The police were in the area and heard the shots.
Clark handed him over to the authorities, along with the weapon. Lois and Clark gave them brief statements and were sent on their way.
A little while later, Lois was at her hotel room door, and Clark was behind her. Heart pounding, she fumbled with her key. "I can never figure out these things."
"Here let me," he whispered. She handed him the key, and they entered her hotel room. To put some distance between them, she placed her purse on the side table near the window. Taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart, she looked out the window.
He was so quiet, but then she felt his warm breath on the back of her neck, and it was exciting and exhilarating to know she could excite him so much, reminding her of sleek dark panther stalking their prey as his lips brushed her neck.
"I love your hair this way," he pulled her tighter against him as his lips sought the sensitive skin on the back of her neck. A few moments later, the warmth was gone.
She turned from the window when she heard a swishing sound, a sound she had never heard before. "Clark, what…?"
There, he stood there before her in his costume. Grinning at her, he whispered, "You miss him don't you?"
She did love seeing him in the suit. "Clark, it's not him so much, but you. I miss Clark."
"I know you do." He came closer and took her hand and squeezed it. "I've been a fool, and I'm sorry if I hurt."
"I understand and yes, I was hurt because I felt as if you didn't want me."
He shook his head at her, reached up and smoothed her hair behind her ear. "Don't ever think that, it's just being with you like this, I think about it a lot, more than I should because you and me, it's not going to be easy. I'm afraid …"
She touched his lips to stop him from speaking. "Clark, I know why you've been avoiding me. It's because of this, you and me, together like this. There's no need to be afraid because I'm not."
"But …" He began, but she interrupted him with a kiss. He was stiff for a moment and then he returned her kisses. He loved kissing her. He reached up and placed his hand on her neck and then it moved to the back of her neck and then they were kissing desperately. His tongue met hers, and they both excited. Her hands were around his shoulders and in his hair pulling him closer. Clark stopped after a moment and rested his forehead against hers. "I've wanted to do that again for so long."
She needed to know. "Clark, you've never.…?" She hesitated.
He stroked her shoulder, not looking at her. "No, Lois … never."
She took his hand and led him over to the bed. "Lois… maybe we …"
She shushed him. "Don't speak, just feel Okay? Everything will work out. You'll see."
Clark believed her. "Don't move." He stepped away from her, twirled for a moment, and the suit was lying on a chair along with the rest of his clothes.
"Wow!" That was all she could think to say. "Can you teach me that trick?"
Smiling, he walked over to her. Instead of answering her, he helped he remove all her clothes. She stood before him in her bra and underwear. He had on his boxers. "I have one more thing to say and then …"
"What is it?" Lois asked as she touched his chest.
"Hearing you defend Superman the way that you did, it really turned me on."
Smiling, she reached up to pull him closer. "Does this turn you on?" She whispered and kissed his ear, her tongue swirling in and out. "How about this?" Her lips moved lower to kiss his throat. "So warm," she whispered.
He closed his eyes, pulled her up and kissed her hard, she whimpered a bit. He pulled away. "Did I hurt you?" Clark was worried.
"No, Clark, it was fabulous. You truly know how to kiss. That moment in the street, I can't remember ever being kissed like that."
He smiled. "How about this?" He picked her up and laid her down gently. She wanted to break him of the notion that she might break, but this first time would be a lesson for him. She was tougher than she looked.
Clark closed his eyes and smiled against her throat and immediately began thanking her for believing in him and trusting him. Soon they were naked touching hip to thigh, the feeling indescribable. The room was so still that the only sound was their ragged breathing. Lois moaned as he kissed his way down her throat to her chest applying his tongue to her aching nipples. She moaned again, louder this time arching her back, stroking his hair, loving his mouth and hands on her breasts.
He was a man on a mission. He kissed her long shapely legs and smooth thighs. He stroked her between her legs, where she was ready for him. Lois opened her legs wider for him to pleasure her and he did. He went even further and kissed the red curls moist with desire for him. He breathed in her unique scent loving her sighs and her hands in his hair stroking him with her desire for him.
Lois was trembling with desire as she cried out repeatedly as he used not only his lips and tongue, but his nose and chin as well to make love to her as tension coiled tight and hot in her belly and she could feel herself coming. Clark pulled back, and Lois whimpered again. "I want to feel you come around me." He smiled not waiting for an answer as he rubbed the head of his erection against her swollen lips exciting them both. He closed his eyes as he felt her tight sheath close around him. He then took her mouth in a hot wet kiss, as he gathered her tightly against his chest. He began that ancient rhythm and Lois matched that rhythm stroke for stroke.
Lois was panting and moaning and then she cried out wrapping her arms and legs around him, pulled his head down and kissed him long and hard as he drove into her again and again. Her climax caused him to come as mind-numbing pleasure shot through to his soul moments later.
He slowly pulled out of her warm body, kissed her temple and stroked her hair, then pulled her close to his chest sighing into her hair. Lois was beyond thought.
"Wow!" Lois was in shock. She truly hit the jackpot with Clark.
All she could do at the moment was feel. She closed her eyes and slid her arms around his waist and let sleep take her into a dream world.

Unanswered: Sequence tables
I am migrating a project from Oracle to SQLServer and must use the same DDL.
The entities have compound primary keys. In Oracle I ensure the compound key is unique by using a sequence table to generate one of the values for the compound key.
Does SQL Server have sequence tabels or does anybody know a way to get it do something similar?

Iran is demanding world powers to give up their nuclear weapons stockpiles, namely Israel.
In an op-ed published by The Guardian on Friday, Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif called for an end to a nuclear arms race and a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East.
"It is time for the 'haves' to finally come to terms with a crucial reality; we live in a globalised security environment. The cold war era asymmetry between states that possess nuclear weapons and those that don't is no longer remotely tolerable," Mr. Zarif wrote.
"For too long, it has been assumed that the insane concept of mutually assured destruction would sustain stability and non-proliferation. Nothing could be further from the truth," he added.
In the piece, titled "Iran has signed a historic nuclear deal — now it's Israel's turn," Mr. Zarif touted Iran's cooperation with world powers to reach a deal to end its nuclear program and admonished Israel for refusing to do the same.
"And while Iran has received the support of some of its Arab friends in the endeavor, Israel — home to the Middle East's only nuclear weapons program — has been the holdout," Mr. Zarif wrote. "In the light of the historic nuclear deal, we must address this challenge head on."
Israel has never confirmed whether it has nuclear weapons.

Alexis Patterson, Ph.D., joined the School of Education in July 2015 as an Assistant Professor in science education. She is currently a CAMPOS Faculty Scholar and is excited to work with her cohort to develop a research center that focuses on increasing the participation of women of color in STEM related fields.
Dr. Patterson's research lies at the intersection of equity studies, social psychology, and science education. Recent projects have focused on equity issues that arise when students work together on group projects in science and the role social-emotional skills play in facilitating equitable interactions between students. Driving her research is the desire to study the challenges facing those in the field of science education in order to reframe science learning in terms of diversity and access.
Dr. Patterson is a native Californian and received her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and her Master's degree from Stanford University. She received her doctorate in Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education in Science from Stanford's Graduate School of Education.

Unanswered: Query
Would you know why my query results in adatabase, do not get inserted in new document (with just four columns in a table) through mailmerg directory, when criteria is inserted to find data for a particular month (date match in doing the Anderson document).
It does get inserted through mailmerg, if there is no criteria seeking for a particular date!
With criteria seeking for a particular date and when the query is run, is runs with what is being sought. However, it does not get inserted to the directory through mailmerg.
I have tried re-entering two tables, (Policies and Client) into a new database and creating the query from scratch! It still gives the same result as not being able to insert data when there is criteria in the query. Without criteria it works fine!!!!

Please provide helpful information about your problem (SQL of the query, tables names and structures, precise description of the problem, etc).
Keeep in mind that we don't know anything about your application, e.g.
- what's the Anderson document?
- what do you mean by "It does get inserted through mailmerg"?Have a nice day!

No lengthy wait for the alleged blackmailer of Germany's richest woman.
Munich -- A man accused of blackmailing Germany's richest woman, Susanne Klatten, is likely to face trial before the year is out, a German prosecutor said in Munich Monday.
Klatten, 46, whose assets include key stakes in car maker BMW and chemicals company Altana, had complained of the blackmail to police earlier this year. The Swiss man, named by media as Helg Sgarbi, 43, was arrested in Jan.
The case became public at the end of last week.
Senior Munich prosecutor Anton Winkler said he expected the accused to go on trial for extortion "before Christmas."
Winkler said a 63 year old accomplice was in custody in Italy awaiting trial, but declined to comment on reports of three other wealthy German women who had been seduced by the blackmailer and forced to pay up.
He also declined to say if the accused, who was extradited from Austria in March, admitted to the charges.
"We won't discuss that," said Winkler.
Joerg Appelhans, spokesman for Klatten, said the blackmail began in autumn last year, with the accused obtaining millions of euros on credit from Klatten. Media reports said he concocted a story that he needed the money because he was being hunted by the Mafia.
Klatten, the daughter of the late Herbert Quandt who had invested most of his fortune in BMW, is married with three children. The spokesman said, "The family is fully supporting her and giving her strength."

Got a yen for a gritty, classic mystery? Try the triple-barreled collection Archer, P.I. by Ross MacDonald: Three novels from three successive decades = hardboiled gumshoe bliss. Here's how Marked for Murder (originally published as The Ivory Grin) begins:
I found her waiting at the door of my office. She was a stocky woman of less than medium height, wearing a blue slack suit over a blue turtleneck sweater, and a blue mink stole that failed to soften her outlines. Her face was squarish and deeply tanned, its boyish quality confirmed by dark hair cut short at the nape. She wasn't the type you'd expect to be up and about at eight thirty in the morning, unless she'd been up all night.
As I unlocked the door she stood back and looked up at me with the air of an early bird surveying an outsize worm. I said: "Good morning."
"Mr. Archer?"
Without waiting for an answer, she offered me a stubby brown hand. Her grip, armed with rings, was as hard as a man's. Releasing her hand, she placed it behind my elbow, ushered me into my own office, and closed the door behind her.
"I'm very glad to see you, Mr. Archer."
She had begun to irritate me already. "Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you glad to see me?"
"Because. Let's sit down and be comfortable so we can talk." Without charm, her petite willfulness was disquieting. "About anything in particular?"
She seated herself in an armchair by the door and looked around the waiting-room. It was neither large nor expensively furnished, and she seemed to be registering those circumstances. Her only comment was to click her ringed fists together in front of her. There were three rings on each hand. They had good-sized diamonds in them, which looked real.
"I have a job for you," she said to the sagging green imitation leather davenport against the opposite wall.

It started as a happy birthday party for Zara; friends, drinks and a ghost tour, but now that her friends were dead and she was running and screaming for her life, the knife wielding pursuer was intent that Zara did not see her next birthday.

Hello everyone
I need to show the ManageIQ with VCloud with their graphics. Sadly, I can't connect to vcloud 5.5 like cloud provider. It always show me after the validation:
"Login failed due to a bad username or password." but the credentials are corrects.
Does anyone knows when will be the fix or what fix is there right now?
Should I make a configuration previously in manageiq or VCloud? -- I can do log in to VCloud using the web.
Please, I need someone help me or answer my question.
Have you followed the documentation?
You will need to get user as user@tenant.
@cankarm Perhaps you can help on this further
Hello @sergio_ocon I followed the guide but I can't connect to vmware vcloud 5.5 using the admin credentials, I put the same by web and all is fine but using ManageIQ 4.2 it's not possible.
Does @cankarm help me?
Hi @Jose_Luis_Mantilla,
sorry for a late reply, my talk.manageiq.org notifications were lost somewhere.
Like @sergio_ocon mentioned, you should use your user@tenant for the user-name (where tenant is the name of organisation). Before that you should have a valid user within the valid organisation. The access was not meant to be used for admin account. You can still try it, but probably you will not be able to use the ManageIQ as expected.
Note: the admin is in "system" organisation. Therefore your admin user is admin@system.
Sorry again!

Flowers in a vase III
Fiber collage on burlap painted with acrylics and watercolors.
One of my most recently finished artworks, currently displayed at the "Arrangements" exhibit in Creative Spirit Gallery. Evey now and then I go back to the classical theme of flowers in a vase exploring it in a new way. This one is the result of an ongoing series of artworks inspired by vitrage windows.

For laboratory applications, the typical plasma etcher has a "barrel" design, or in other words, a cylindrical or barrel geometry to the reaction chamber. One feature of this design is that any point on the surface to be etched can be approached with equal probability from all directions, leading to an etch that is described as being "isotropic". For most if not many applications generally, an isotropic design is probably the design of choice. But in some instances, such as the removal of a passivation layer from an electronic device, isotropic etching always results in undercutting, and when the lines are below a certain point in width, such processing completely undercuts the lines leading to the layers literally falling off. But because for a "barrel" design, one can achieve respectable etch rates at relatively low power, the systems can be built and sold at lower prices.
The parallel plate design of an anisotropic etcher permits one to remove a passivation layer without any undercutting! Now we don't want to make it sound like the physics of anisotropic etching were discovered by us (this was certainly not the case) but we were the first to realize the laboratory need for a small relatively inexpensive table top parallel plate system. And in 1985, SPI Supplies introduced the world's first inexpensive table-top design parallel plate system. Most of those systems produced as far back as twenty years ago are still in operation.

hurm..this is the best topic that need to be shared n it also can be ur reminder with this statement that i post especially the smokers at the outside okeh..why u should not smoke??take times to think about that questions..hurm,mybe...it looks "macho" or feel proud with smoking,rite??oh no!!..i'm not very interested with the answers from the bad smokers either boys or girls..huh!!..really dislike with it!!..
Despite the fact that government n health agencies throughout the world have campaigned against smoking n have tried to increase the awareness of the harmful effects of cigarette smoke,many people are still smoking..
why do people smoke??maybe it is becoz the ill effects of smoking is not consciously registered in their mind.There are a lot of reasons why you should not smoke..
the first reason why u should not smoke is that smoking affects ur health.It is an established fact that smokers lose their physical stamina n endurance.Smokers are unlikely to do well in sports n in a games that require good physical fitness.But that is only the least of it.Smoking can also lead to fatal diseases like lung cancer.
The second reason is that smoking not only harms the smokers but also harms those around him.There are scientists who contend that passive smoking is even more of a health hazard n actual smoking.So,smokers should not be selfish n smoke in front of nonsmokers n expose them to the harmful effects of cigarette smoke.Besides,nonsmokers do not like the pungent smell of cigarette smoke.
The final reason that i offer is that smoking is a costly habit.Let us say that the price of a pack of cigarettes remains constant at $3 for the next ten years.Smoking a pack a day is going to cost $1095 a year.In ten years,more than $10,000 would have been puffed up in smoke.Imagine how this money could have been better spent,in buying new clothes,in furthering education or even as the down payment for a new car.
these are some of the reasons why u should not smoke.If u r a smoker,for the love of yourself,quit smoking.If u r a nonsmoker,remember to emphatically say no when u r offered a stick!!!!...
so,becareful with the affects of the smoking.It not give u any benefits but it will give a bad impact throughout the smoking habits..
ok,thats all..assalamualaikum..

the subject i detest!!
oh no!!.."i love mathematics"..remember that,love mathematics in a bracket oke..ahahah..Mathematics has always been a problem for me,and i am very sure that it is in the case with many pupils throughout the country n probably throughout the world.Mathematics has been dreaded subject since we started learning geometry,algebra n other branches of mathematics where symbols n complex technical terms n formulae r used..huh!!
i have no problem with arithmetic.in fact,i cant still remember the time when i gleefully recited n memorised the multiplication table.Addition,subtraction,multiplication n division pose no problems for me n i agree that they r essential for everyday life..Imagine a shopkeeper who cannot do simple arithmetic or a shopper who cannot do simple additions to see if he has sufficient money to buy the items he wants.arithmetic,therefore is necessary in daily life.
but......what about the other branches of mathematics that require memorising all the different formulae n technical terms????tell me,who used sine,cosine,n tangent in everyday quadratic equations that many would soon forget the moment they live school??
regardless of my deep resentment for this subject,the fact remains that mathematics constitute a very important part of the school curriculum.i cannot afford to fail this subject as it would not help my results in university soon becoz i've ready took a major course in BAHASA..So,there r not mathematics subject anymore..oh yeah!!..So,i have to bite the bullet n put the extra effort to pass in BAHASA not MATHEMATICS..kikiki..

GB dominated by Italy
Britain's women suffered a crushing 42-14 to Italy in the quarter-finals of the fencing team foil.
Last Updated: 02/08/12 12:07pm
Britain's women suffered a crushing 42-14 to strong title favourites Italy in the quarter-finals of the fencing team foil at the ExCeL.
Natalia Sheppard, Sophie Troiano and Anna Bentley had beaten Egypt 45-34 to set up the clash with the three medallists in the individual competition.
And when they face the Italians the gulf in class was obvious from the start as Elisa Di Francisca, Arianna Errigo and Valentina Vezzali - gold, silver and bronze in the individual event respectively last Saturday - cruised through.
The other three quarter-finals still had a long way to go when the British trio exited the arena to the applause of the sympathetic crowd.
The only one of the trio to avoid defeat in any of the nine contests was Sheppard, but her 2-2 draw with Vezzali in the closing three minutes came with the overall outcome in the bag.
Sheppard had lost 5-0 to Di Francisca and 5-4 to Errigo, while Troiano came out of her three bouts with only one point against Errigo.
As for Bentley, ranked 165th in the world, she could feel relatively content after she took three points off Errigo and two off Vezzali and Di Francisca.
Earlier Sheppard led the way against the 18th-ranked Egyptians by winning all three of her contests by a combined 22-11 margin, being supported well by her team-mates.
Although the Italians were overwhelming favourites for quarter-final clash, Britain had held them to 39-34 in the last eight of the European championships in Sheffield last year, meaning the large margin of defeat was another disappointment for a 10-strong home squad which failed to get anybody into the last 16 of any of the individual competitions.
Britain, 13th in the world, still had to fight to decide the fifth to eighth place ranking, with a clash against Poland next up after they lost to France.
