Do you know how to adjust the auto hide sensitivity of KDE panels? If so I wouldn't mind trying this setup again.
Unless... are you not using auto hide? Maybe I'll try without auto hide to see if I can get used to it... In fact, that's a common question I have when I see screenshots here. I wonder how many users turn off auto hide in an effort to get the screenshot vs how many leave their Unity bar revealed 100% of the time.
EDIT - Here's an updated screenshot of what I'm working with now. Simply moved the bottom panel to the top, stripped some widgets, added a new left panel and an icon based task manager, and bam. Here you have it.
I do have to say, the Unity layout is undoubtedly catchy, but KDE's depth of customizability and level of design with awesome native applications are a substantial +1. With this, I have the best of both worlds.

Adventure Time # 3 and WomanthologyGUYS!!! Look what I got today! Adventure Time #3 with cover B (my cover!) and Womanthology, with my page!Adventure Time # 3 and Womanthology3 years ago in Personal More Like This
It's days like this that make it feel really worthwhile to be a comic artist. There's nothing like seeing your work in print to make it feel "real." <3
I've gotten reports from other people that Adventure Time # 3 is in stores and they were able to get the version with my cover already! Check your local comic shop if you're interested in snagging one.
"Womanthology" is also worth a look. It's a huge tome dedicated to spotlighting female comic artists. Thanks to a very generous donation by my friend Ted during their Kickstarter, I got one page for myself. (Hence why I crammed stuff about both "Sister Claire" AND "Nightingale" on the same page. XD)
AdventureTime Month!What time is it? ADVENTURE TIME!AdventureTime Month!3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Unfortunately the Childhood Favourites Month has to come to an end, I mean it has only lasted 4 months so its no big deal really. And now a brand new month(s), this time trying something a little bit different, breaking out of my comfort zone, and trying out a style I have never tried before, thats right, its the simplistic and trippy style of Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time! Well... not exactly, I will still be mixing in my own style to make it unique, so in a way its kinda like a Dragonball Z fusion between my style and Pendleton Ward's style. If you have any requests, like you wanna see princess bubblegum kissing Finn or Finn dressing up as Link, now's the time to suggest them! Alrighty! Lets let it rip!

Q: Where did you get your wig?
A: My Finn made it for me. It was made out of two long wigs-- one 48 inch, one 60 inch. They were purchased on Ebay. I don't know the seller, sorry!
Q: How did you do the makeup?
A: It is Ben Nye Character Series cream makeup in Ghoul Grey (CB-8). It was applied using latex makeup sponges and sealed with Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Powder and hairspray. I do not recommend using hairspray unless you have someone helping you apply the makeup.
You can buy it here: http://www.frendsbeautysupplyonline.com/bennyecharacterbasecb-8ghoulgrey.aspx for only $3.40!
Q: How much makeup did you use?
A: Evicted! : Medium Coverage (face, neck, chest, shoulders, arms, hands)
Henchmen: Medium Coverage (face, neck, chest, shoulders, arms, hands)

So the other day in Bible class, we were in the computer lab. My friend was sitting in a row diagnal to the one I was in. She called me over to get our assignments, and I thought it would be a good idea to slide my chair over to her so I could write down what we had for homework.
Okay, see, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Anyway, not only did I fall over sideways, the chair fell on top of me right after I hit the ground. The teacher actually stopped talking to say, "Oh! She's down! And... oh, she's back up, never mind, it's all good."
Anyway. Met some geeky guy working at Tiger Pop today that had a Pokemon tattoo, so of course we started talking about xxxHOLiC and Soul Eater and whatnot.
Need to stop being a geek and get homework done... -_-

''Oh right'' I said blushing light rubbing the back on my neck. He sat on the bed next to me and smiled then looked down at his feet. We sat there for like 5 minutes of awkward silence.

Don't ask why they were blocked, don't tell me about them ranting and raving on some site I've never heard of, don't tell me of their journal post shit-talking me here on DeviantArt.

This has been going on long enough. Countless numbers of people suicide because of people's heartless and cowardly comments, online or face to face, being beaten up emotionally and physically. It's not fair, that people who commit such an offensive behavior and forces someone to suicide gets away with murder. They say it's a teenage thing, or it doesn't concern people. They laugh, carry on as if the person whom is getting bullied doesn't have any emotions that they are just another one of the things they can punch and abuse. WRONG!!!! Everyone has emotions, CONSIDER THEM!!! Everyone has bullied and been bullied in their whole life. I don't care why people think

It was cold. It was terribly cold. You can feel yourself shiver despite all the layers of clothing. Your hands numb under the gloves, and your stomach feeling somehow bare. You were hurrying home, when you suddenly take notice of a sudden glint. Curiosity brought you closer, and you could see the silhouette of a castle from far away, separated by the vast sea. You struggle to find that glint again, when you turn your head, you see something unusual.
There is a boy with blonde hair and royal clothes, that are obviously not enough for this weather. Too thin. The boy is asleep-- unconscious? You wonder if he's still alive.

How to: get more out of your walks
Walking is great exercise, but falling into a rut -- same route, speed and form -- can stall your progress.
Kick into higher gear with these tips:
Hold your head high. The ideal walking posture is upright, with shoulders back and not slouched. You'll work more muscles to hold that position, including your stomach and buttocks. "It all starts with posture," says Dr. John Schaffer, an orthopedic surgeon at Sentara Leigh Hospital in Norfolk, Va.
Swing your arms right. Pump back and forth with your elbows bent at 90 degrees, arms close to your sides, wrists straight and hands unclenched to build speed and avoid hand swelling.
Step it up. The faster you walk, the more you'll use multiple muscles to maintain your posture. Many trainers recommend alternating short bursts of speed with recovery periods to burn extra calories, such as a minute of speed walking followed by a minute of strolling.
Gradually add distance. As an added challenge, pick routes with hills or stairs. You'll add muscle mass and burn more calories even at rest.
Work in some strength moves. Pause along your route for some pushups, lunges and squats. It's also easy to carry a lightweight resistance band and do a few arm exercises.
Reconsider weights... Some trainers say wearing a weighted vest can help build bone density, but many experts say that's not certain. As for hand and ankle weights, they may add stress to joints and throw off posture, Dr. Schaffer says.
... and consider poles. Walkers can burn more calories and improve balance by carrying walking poles, sold in fixed or adjustable lengths at many sporting good stores, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Be smart. Seek medical attention for pain that lasts a week or two and doesn't improve with rest and anti-inflammatory medications.

The question is; what is Orb? While it may be a play on the sire's name, Malibu Moon, or the circumference of the moon, at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino it is the name of the Kentucky Derby winning horse that Stuart Silvers placed a $10,000 win bet upon and won over $60,000 on Saturday, May 4. At odds of 5-1, Silvers' answer to the age-old $64,000 question was Orb. The three-year-old gelding used a late surge down the homestretch to coast home a winner in the 139th running of horse racing's signature event.
After reading an edition of his local newspaper that named Orb as the early favorite, Silvers decided that was the horse for him. Silvers, 82, is a retired Butler University professor who walked through the doors of Hoosier Park on Saturday, May 4 and walked out $64,000 richer after he won the signature Derby Day promotion at Hoosier Park.
Hoosier Park provided invited guests a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to place a $10,000 Kentucky Derby win bet on the horse of their choice. The winner had to wager the entire $10,000 sum on the horse they believed would win first place honors. Silvers was randomly selected and without hesitation, chose Orb as his horse. Thousands walked in to Hoosier Park to watch and wager on the Kentucky Derby, but it was Silvers that walked out with the thousands, 64 to be exact.
The $10,000 mega-bet promotion culminated two of the biggest days in the sport of horse racing as Hoosier Park also welcomed guests with extended hours, wagering promotions, and property wide dining specials. Silvers, a frequent visitor of Hoosier Park, occasionally tries his luck wagering on horse racing, but never misses an opportunity to bet the Kentucky Derby.
"I've been betting on the Derby for awhile now," Silvers noted. "But I've never won, at least not compared to what I won today. I came here today wishing for the best and I just got lucky. I didn't expect this year to be any different than years' past, but it hasn't hit me that I won just yet."
Derby weekend included property-wide dining specials, expanded beverage options, and official Kentucky Derby merchandise sales at Hoosier Park. Patrons that sported a Kentucky Derby hat also had the opportunity to receive a free Kentucky Derby win wager. While many other promotions were taking place throughout the facility none culminated the adrenaline of a horse race quite like the one experienced by Silvers.
Live racing resumes at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Tuesday, May 7 with a 5:30 post. The 160-day all harness racing meet will follow a Tuesday-Saturday schedule and run through November 9.

Shipping in from Balmoral Park, the four-year-old gelding's 1:50.1 victory marks the fastest mile over Hoosier Park's oval thus far into the 2013 meet.
As the gate closed, Ricky Macomber Jr. and I Trust You attempted to get a quick jump on their rivals as they left alertly from post six, however, Paco Labrook and Brad Hanners had the same idea from post nine. The front end was the coveted spot as the early fractions of :27.0 and :55.1 saw much movement. Unable to find position along the rail, Thunder Steeler and Dillander pressed on to the front and reached the top spot as the tightly knit field of ten continued down the backside. Thunder Steeler sprinted to a 1:22.1 third quarter spilt and waited for the cavalry charge from behind as they turned for home. Uncle Smoothie and Sam Widger were in the outer flow with Sammy's Cool Win and Trace Tetrick in tow. Dillander asked Thunder Steeler for more and he responded with a :28.0 final panel to hold off a hard charging Paco Labrook. Sammy' s Cool Win rallied from off the pace to get up for the third place finish. As the publics' choice, I Trust You overcame traffic trouble to finish fourth. Thunder Steeler returned $6.60 to his backers for the victory.
Sired by Lis Mara, Thunder Steeler has now won six of ten seasonal starts with over $40,000 on his card in 2013. Owned by Uncirculated Stable and Frank Smyth, the four-year-old gelding is trained by Donna Lee Ozment. Bred by Concord Stud Farm, Thunder Steeler has now won nine of 30 lifetime starts while amassing over $120,000 lifetime.
On the trotting side of things, Abc Mercedes continued his winning ways in the $24,000 Invitational trot with a sharp, front running effort for driver, trainer Trace Tetrick.
Abc Mercedes notched his third consecutive victory for the season as he pushed his seasonal earnings over $30,000. The eight-year-old gelding has amassed over $1 million in earnings for owner Larry Miller of Springport, IN. Sired by Abc Garland, Abc Mercedes has won a remarkable 59 times in 106 lifetime outings. With over $1 million in purse earnings, the Indiana standout finds himself in elite company as he ranks as the richest trotter in Indiana history.
The season at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino continues to trend in a positive direction with all-sources handle showing a 17% increase for the first 20 days of the meet.

Mystic Karissa Rebounds Nicely in Bill Thompson SeriesApril 26, 2013
Mystic Karissa made amends for her first loss of the season last week as she captured the fastest division of the Bill Thompson series, a late closing event open to Indiana sired, three-year-old and older fillies and mares that are non-winners of $30,000 lifetime, at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Thursday, April 25. The three-year-old filly notched her fifth win in six lifetime performances in career best fashion, scoring in 1:53.3.
With Ricky Macomber Jr. at the lines once again, the heavily favored duo showed no hesitation as they left the gate alertly from post five to reach the front through an opening panel of :27.3. Fritzie Chic and Trace Tetrick benefitted from a pocket trip as the public's second choice while Thunder Flight and Tyler Smith were well placed along the rail in third. The field remained in single file order down the backside through a leisurely second panel in :57.2. Always As Fast was the first to commit to the outer flow as driver Jason Dillander had her out and firing approaching the final turn. Mystic Karissa remained untouched through the three-quarter clocking in 1:26.1 and when Macomber asked for more, she responded with a :27.2 final clip to reach the wire four lengths in front. Fritzie Chic paced evenly to finish second while Thunder Flight took home third place honors. At even money odds, Mystic Karissa returned $4.00 for the victory.
Unraced at two, Mystic Karissa has now earned over $15,000 in career earnings for her connections of Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Frank Baldachino and L. Karr. Sired by Always A Virgin, the brown filly is conditioned by Hoosier Park's 2012 leading trainer, Ron Burke.
In the opening leg of the late closing action on the evening's fourteen race card, Virgin Girl and driver Ross Leonard were able to edge out their rivals late in the lane to reach the winner's circle in 1:56.2. It was the first win of the season for Virgin Girl as she equaled her lifetime mark set at two.
Leaving from post seven in the nine horse field, Leonard sent the filly from the gate quickly but would have to work for the top spot as Charlie Conrad also sent Two Green Peppers to the front. Two Green Peppers reached the first quarter mark in :27.1 but yielded the lead and opted for a pocket trip. Virgin Girl reached the front at the half mile mark in :58.3 but was quickly challenged on the outside by Always Handi and Don Eash. With a three-quarter clocking in 1:27.1, the top duo continued to battle it out as the field turned for home. It was Virgin Girl who was able to find a :29.0 final quarter to best her rivals by three-parts of a length. Always Handi held on gamely to finish second while Jd's Infinite Lady and Ed Hensley rounded out the trifecta.
Trained by Katie Dircksen, Virgin Girl has now won two of 13 career starts as she sent her lifetime bankroll over $20,000 for owners Scott and Kimberly Rudnick of Greenville, OH. Sired by Always A Virgin, the three-year-old filly was victorious in a leg of the Indiana Silver Sire Stakes at two.
Virgin Girl returned $6.40 for the win but the biggest payout of the night was found just four races later when Go Gaspy Go crossed the wire. The superfecta ticket that included Go Gaspy Go, Leanto Scarlet, Justice For Belle, and JS Foxy Lady returned $4,633.55.
The Bill Thompson series continues with a second, $10,000 leg on May 2. The $20,000 series final is slated for Thursday, May 9 at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino. Live racing will follow a Tuesday-Saturday schedule at Hoosier Park with a daily post time of 5:30 p.m.

Konkle Harnesses Passion to Educate Hoosier Park PatronsApril 26, 2013
Tim Konkle Named Racing Scholar at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino
By: Zach Groth
Tim Konkle, 53, has a professional goal to promote and help grow the Indiana harness racing industry; plain and simple. With more than 50 years of horse racing experience, 15 years at Hoosier Park alone, Konkle brings a level of professionalism and expertise that is unparalleled in the greater Indiana region. For this reason, Hoosier Park has transitioned Konkle from backside maintenance manager and recently declared Konkle as Hoosier Park's first racing scholar. In this new role, Konkle will educate racing fans, answer racing questions, and give professional insight into the sport.
Konkle currently offers brief sessions to groups that visit Hoosier Park to expand their knowledge of harness racing and to give patrons tips on how to go through the wagering process. Konkle offers insight into the new FastBet Mobile way of wagering as well as offering advice on how to efficiently read the programs distributed nightly. Although there are racing fans at Hoosier Park that do not need professional tips, they can still be found asking Konkle for an answer to the potential million dollar question – "Who would you pick to win?".
Another substantial part of Konkle's position involves the sports media and race marketing industry. Reaching out to sports reporters in the local and regional areas and getting them more involved in harness racing is one of Konkle's favorite parts of the job. Walking the journalist through the industry and teaching them what the sport is all about is extremely rewarding Konkle noted.
Many journalists are able to ride along in a two-seated jog cart when they visit Hoosier Park. Konkle believes this is one of the easiest ways to allow journalists to effectively write about harness racing. Along with the experience of a lifetime, journalists also have the opportunity to videotape the experience so they can go back and watch it at a later date.
"They can feel the power of the horse," Konkle explained. "The speed and the passion that the drivers have for these animals when they are right there next to them is something that can only be felt first-hand."
After all is said and done, Konkle does not believe that his expertise is any different than any other racing professional out there; instead his passion for the sport and his deep involvement in the success of Hoosier Park is something unique and different.
A decade and a half ago, Hoosier Park welcomed Tim Konkle for the first time and from that moment on Konkle, who has been to most race tracks in the country, knew that he could confidently call Hoosier Park his home.
"Harness racing is an exciting sport with deep tradition in Indiana," Konkle said. "I am extremely fortunate that I get to come to work every day and do something that I love. If I can create new racing fans through my experience and knowledge in the horse racing industry, I feel that I have done my job."
Konkle can be found at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino during every night of live racing with a daily post time of 5:30 p.m. The all-harness racing meet will follow a Tuesday-Saturday schedule and commence on Nov. 9. For more information on the upcoming entertainment and live race meet at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, please visit www.hoosierpark.com.
Blueridge Doc Scores the Upset in Hoosier Park FeatureApril 24, 2013
Blueridge Doc, driven by Andy Shetler, got up in the final strides of the mile to pull a 20-1 upset in the co-featured $24,000 Invitational pace at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Saturday, April 20. With a final time of 1:52.2, Blueridge Doc was able to take advantage of a pocket trip to notch his second win of the season.
It was a cavalry charge for early position as Pete Wrenn sent Sunday Poker out alertly from post five with Ed Hensley and Willy Mucha following suit. Leaving from post two, Shetler sent Blueridge Doc out from the gate and maintained their position along the rail in second. With a brisk opening panel in :26.0, it was Sunday Poker calling the shots on the front. Hensley wrestled Willy Mucha to settle along the rail in third while Casey's Lil' Harry and Ross Leonard followed intently in third. As the public's choice, Sammy's Cool Win and Trace Tetrick opted for a trip off the pace and were eighth along the rail through the opening fractions. Sunday Poker continued to call the shots down the backside as the field of ten began to tighten. Reaching the three-quarter mark in 1:25.2, Sunday Poker looked down a long Hoosier Park stretch. Shetler gave Blueridge Doc the green light and the seven-year-old gelding responded with a 26.4 final panel down the homestretch to get the win. Sammy's Cool Win rallied late in the lane to get up for the second place finish while I Trust You and Ricky Macomber Jr. marched home in :26.3 to finish third. Blueridge Doc returned $42.80 to his backers for the victory.
"He raced really tough tonight," Andy Shetler noted. "I knew there was going to be a lot of speed in the race so I wanted to get in good position. He is a tough horse that tries hard every time and tonight he showed that."
With over $230,000 amassed in career earnings, Blueridge Doc captured his 25th lifetime victory in 118 outings. Andy Shetler trains Blueridge Doc and also co-owns the son of Mattnamaras Band with Joe Lemmon of Goshen, IN.
On the trotting side of things, Abc Mercedes continued his winning ways in the $24,000 Invitational trot with a sharp, front running effort for driver, trainer Trace Tetrick. With a field of ten going postward, Tetrick sent ABC Mercedes to the front from the assigned post nine and remained unchallenged through opening splits of :27.0 and :57.1. Jessejo and Ed Hensley made a costly break around the first turn while Cantab Lindy and Pete Wrenn avoided trouble sitting second. Solvent and Jason Dillander were well placed in third as the field remained in single file order down the backside. Reaching the three-quarter mark in 1:26.1, Abc Mercedes put his talent on display as he began to trot away from the field. Solvent took aim at the leader as they headed for home but could not catch the four-time Indiana trotter of the year who stopped the clock in 1:55.1 five lengths in front of his closest competitor. Solvent finished second as Celebrity Hercules rounded out the trifecta. As the heavy favorite, Abc Mercedes returned $3.20 for the victory.
Abc Mercedes notched his second consecutive victory for the season as he pushed his seasonal earnings over $20,000. The eight-year-old gelding has amassed over $1 million in earnings for owner Larry Miller of Springport, IN. Sired by Abc Garland, Abc Mercedes has won 58 of 105 lifetime starts.
The season at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino continues to trend in a positive direction with all-sources handle showing a 20% increase for the first 15 days of the meet. Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. With a daily post time of 5:30 p.m., the 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through November 9.
Night Pro Sweeps Jerry Landess SeriesApril 24, 2013
Night Pro made his third consecutive trip to Hoosier Park's winner circle as he completed the Jerry Landess series sweep winning the $15,000 final of the late closing event open to three and four-year-old Indiana sired colts and geldings that are non-winners of $7,500 lifetime at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Wednesday, April 17.
The three-year-old colt notched his fourth consecutive victory in a lifetime best effort of 1:53.1 as he pushed his career earnings over $15,000.
Barley Pop and Trace Tetrick left the gate alertly from post three to control the early fractions through a first quarter clocking in :28.0. Using much the same strategy as weeks past, Night Pro and Pete Wrenn were content to sit along the rail in third before making their move to the front down the backside. Bullwinkle and Kayne Kauffman benefitted from a pocket trip as the field remained in single file line through the half mile time in :56.4. Barley Pop continued to lead the field of ten as Pete Wrenn gave Night Pro the green light approaching the final turn. Shooters Dream and Roger Cullipher were well placed second over as they reached the three-quarter mark in 1:25.3. Pete Wrenn urged Night Pro to the front, and the son of Pro Bono Best responded with a :27.3 final panel to win going away by nine lengths. Shooters Dream was able to take advantage of a perfect trip to finish second while Endeavors King and Tony Hall rallied from off the pace to finish third. Heavily backed at the windows, Night Pro returned $2.80 for the win.
"I didn't want to rush him tonight," Pete Wrenn noted. "I just wanted to float out of there and stay out of trouble. He relaxed down the backside and was able to get a breather before I ever had to ask him to do anything. He's an extremely smart colt and looks like he has a future ahead of him."
Unraced at two, Night Pro is trained and owned by Dale Decker of Temperance, MI. A $14,000 yearling purchase, the black colt is the first foal from the multiple stakes winning mare, Midnight Jewel.
"He's an extremely smart colt," Decker said. "People ask me why I'm not driving him and I tell them it's because Pete (Wrenn) has about 8,000 more wins than me. He is the one that should be driving a colt like him."
Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. With a daily post time of 5:30 p.m., the 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through November 9.
New Era of Harness Racing in IndianaApril 9, 2013
Anderson, Ind.—April 6, 2013—The opening week of live harness racing action at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino saw measurable success on all fronts. Excitement pervaded throughout the grandstand as large, enthusiastic crowds welcomed the 20th season of harness racing back to the seven-eighths mile oval.
On the racing front, Abc Mercedes and driver Trace Tetrick both returned to their winning ways as they wired the field in the co-featured event, a $24,000 Invitational trot. The eight-year-old gelding reached the front and never looked back before stopping the clock in 1:55.4. Ricky Macomber Jr. and I Trust You followed suit on the pacing side of things and benefitted from fast early fractions to capture the $24,000 Invitational pace in 1:52.4. Trained by Ron Burke, I Trust You brushed home in :28.4 to post the first win of his 2013 season.
Hoosier Park's track surface, with the addition of a brown limestone material, proved to be in mint condition for the opening week of live racing. The track, now a noticeably darker color, has been meticulously groomed by Hoosier Park's track superintendent, Jimmy Shelton, and received rave reviews from all who encountered it.
"The track is in great shape right now considering the weather we've had lately," Trace Tetrick noted. "I think it will only continue to get better and I look for it to be extremely fast and very durable throughout the meet. The entire track crew has done a great job with all of their improvements to the surface."
The wagering front also saw much success and offered remarkable value to the horseplayer with the introduction of a signature Pick-4 wager and an improved racing product. The bettors came out in full force through the first week of wagering as the handle increases were felt both on track and through export wagering.
Through the first five nights of racing, Hoosier Park has seen an overall increase of 33 percent in all sources wagering over the corresponding week in 2012.
"Through the first week, I am genuinely excited about the progress we are seeing on most fronts," said Rick Moore, Hoosier Park's general manager of racing. "The reality is that one week doesn't make an entire meet, but if this opening week is any indication of the season to come, we are hopeful for a very successful meet."
"The prolonged winter has made it difficult for horseman to get ready," he continued. "But, we are grateful to the horsemen who have supported us thus far and hope they will continue to support our efforts at the entry box as we continually work to improve our racing product for the racing fans."
Live racing at Hoosier Park will follow a Tuesday-Saturday schedule, with a daily post time of 5:30 p.m. The 160-day all harness racing meet will be conducted through November 9.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at IBM in May 2014.Interview Details
I had an interview in Rochester, MN. A friend who works there dropped off my application and they called me to set up an interview right away. I was told that it would be an hour long interview with two people interviewing for thirty minutes each. The entrance that you need to go into is fairly hard to find so I would suggest getting there plenty early. I entered the main entrance and checked in with the lady behind the counter. The first person interviewing me was a male manager. He just walked through my resume and asked me to explain each part and asked how well I knew excel. This person was supposed to be the one asking me more technical questions. The technical questions weren't very difficult or in depth. He mostly asked about any financial equations you've used for classes or using excel. Pivot tables were brought up and asked if I had used them. Most people don't use pivot tables that I've talked to before working there but its something they frequently use. The setting was very relaxed with him and it went pretty smoothly. Nothing difficult and very relaxing. The next person came in to interview and was a female manager. She asked more situational questions along with going over my resume quickly. This was very relaxed as well and a little more thought provoking but nothing too difficult. I ended up interviewing for an extra half an hour for a total of one and half hours. It really does fly by once you begin talking back and forth. They will jot down answers to questions on resumes of yours that were printed off. My GPA was below the 3.2 that IBM looks for and she asked me to explain what I had. Ive heard that if you can explain how you have improved over the last couple of years they are understanding and will offer you a job still if the interview goes well. Overall it was a very relaxed process and not very difficult. This was my first professional interview. I am still waiting on an offer.Interview Questions

Wild Dreams While Pregnant
Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Crazy Dreams
by babysugar
Like us on Facebook
One of my expectant friends called me the other day to dish about the racy dream she had the night before.
By the end of the conversation, we were both in tears laughing about her insane and lewd subconscious trip.
It reminded me of the wild escapades that my own prego mind took while I slept.
Since hormones are raging, the surge of progesterone frequently adds to the intensity of pregnant women's dreams.
The recollection of the sleepy escapades may also be due to the repeated bathroom trips, interrupting the REM sleep cycles.
Did you have crazy dreams while expecting?
4 years
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm only 8 weeks pregnant and I dreamt that my boobs were as big as two liter coke bottles and stuck out like them too. My nipples were underneath facing the ground and I was going to have to put my baby underneath to feed him. My husband and I were looking in the mirror and I said I'm gonna have to get a bigger bra. LOL and I've had plenty of racy dreams too, so weird.
5 years
ive also dreaded going to sleep cause of my dreams. im 39 wks pregnant and they just started the other day, there intense and so vivid sometimes i wake up crying. whats crazy to me is there all about my boyfriend cheating on me. :/ there different dreams but same concept. they really upset me
5 years
HAHAHA these dreams are wild lol. I do have racy and intense, as well as wild and confusing dreams so vivid that I can usually tell my husband about them when I wake up. I thought it was so odd that all of my dreams seemed so real and intense so I decided to look it up on the net, this is what I found lol whew I'm not crazy. 7 months to go!
5 years
I had one this morning (during nap time with my son) that was about this hot guy murdering someone I was close with (but could never see who). Only after escaping this crazy hot guy did I get a knife go back, kill his accomplice and stab him. Whatever that did, it didn't kill him but made him nice??? And then we started making out on the chair he was in. I can still see those crazy light blue eyes....I had weird dreams before but nothing beats that or the one where my husband was running on a treadmill with one leg...???? God 7.5 months to go too.....
macneil 6 years
Yes, I KEPT dreaming I gave birth to a white cat. I've always called my baby 'little cat' since birth now, however weird it sounds to other people.
macgirl 6 years
I kept having dreams that I was breast feeding kittens. I don't even have a cat so I'm not sure what that is all about. Their tiny kitten teeth really freaked me out though ;-)
faerymagick15 6 years
I had crazy scary dreams about my baby being deformed or stillborn. racy dreams...unfortunately NO! I would have rather had them!

:ROTFL: luckyme ... breastfeeding a dolphin put very weird pictures into my mind! lol I have weird dreams now... I can't imagine what they will be like when I am pregnant!
shelnew19 6 years
I constantly had dreams that I was going to drop the baby. I was absolutely paranoid that he would just flop out of my arms. They were awful!
abqmama 6 years
Sometimes I would actually dread going to sleep because the dreams were so intense.
abqmama 6 years
I had some very crazy dreams when I was pregnant. I could usually recall most of them the next morning however they never made any sense whatsoever. I couldn't even explain them to my husband because they were so crazy.
LizL 6 years
Yes, I am having them now...and I don't like them. I am not one who usually reads into dreams but these have really been freaking me out. They are also in extreme detail.
luckyme 6 years
I had some very crazy dreams! One that vividly sticks out was the one about a dolphin...that I gave birth to. As if that wasn't strange enough, I also breastfed the dolphin, although this was accomplished by some strange metal apparatus that went on my boob. Ah, pregnancy hormones.

A chegada á casiña de madeira no anoitecer foi significativa do que ía vir. Casiña iluminada con luces de cores para nos dar a benvida. O demais ía ser assim: sensibilidade nas pequenas coisas, coidados, casa equipada con màis ca os básicos (a cozinha tem tudo), o calor natural do lume que o propio anfitrión prende... um fogar para desfrutar da desconexión do mundo no meio do campo. Un anfitrión especial. Só hai que seguir os cabaliños azuis...
Obrigado Noa pelo teu simpático comentário, faço votos para que voltem.
Ricardo was the most welcoming and helpful of hosts. Everything went smoothly, the cottage was exactly as described. There is more then enough space for a family with two kids, and the two dogs are welcoming as well. The kitchen is fully equipped. We enjoyed breakfast on the porch every morning and had short (15-30min drive) connections to beaches, Faro, Tavira, Loule, whatever you like. Book this place, we enjoyed ourselves!
Thanks Ralf for your kind comment.
Ricardo was tremendous--he came out to find us in the middle of the night when we took a wrong turn on the way to the cottage and he gave us great recommendations for things to see and eat in Algarve.
The cottage is definitely remote, but that's part of its charm. We had a wonderful time here and we'd happily book again if we're in the area.
Thanks a lot Samuel for your kind comment.
Merci à Ricardo pour son accueil très chaleureux. Le chalet est vraiment grand, très beau, très confortable, et la cuisine super équipée. Prendre le petit déj sur la terrasse au soleil est vraiment agréable. La campagne environnante est jolie, la région magnifique. Les deux chiens de la maison, très sympathiques, ne rentrent jamais dans le chalet.
Merci Sylvie pour cette comentaire trés agradable.
Ricardo was very accommodating and had lots of recommendations for sights to see and dinner locations. The cottage was cozy and comfortable.
Hello Chris, thanks for your kind coment.
We enjoyed our time at Ricardo's place very much! Ricardo could not have been nicer. He speaks several languages and was very kind to answer questions about the area and my questions about his solar panels (if you're interested in solar energy this is a cool place; he has photovoltaic panels and a solar hot water system). The place itself is very much out in the country but Ricardo provided good directions. The drive to get to beaches and restaurants wasn't bad. As a side note, we recommend a restaurant called "Luis do Prego", great food and cheap prices. The house was very clean and charming and we'd recommend it for anyone desiring a country setting. We hope to visit this place again!
Thanks Ryan for your kind comment. All the best for you. Please do come back, you will be very welcome. We´ll try our very best to get a better internet connection.
Passamos 4 dias fantásticos no Algarve seguindo as indicações do Ricardo. A casa era muito confortável e com tudo o necessário para uma estadia de 4 pessoas. Lugar muito calmo no meio da natureza mas próximo da auto-estrada do Algarve.
Ricardo fue muy hospitalario en todos los aspectos. Me indicó perfectamente dónde se encontraba su casa (enviándome sus coordenadas y siguiéndole después en coche), y siempre dispuesto a ayudarme durante mi estancia.
La verdad es que estuvimos tan cómodos durante todo el viaje. En la casa tienes todo lo que necesitas y Ricardo es invisible y servicial. Desde su entrañable estancia conocimos casi toda la costa del Algarve de Tavira a Lagos, y siempre sabiendo que al final del día llegábamos a nuestro perfecto lugar de descanso.
Malgré l'heure tardive de notre arrivée, 22 heures , Ricardo était très accueillant . Nous nous sommes senti à l'aise de suite le contact est simple, nous sommes comme chez nous. Ricardo nous a prévu le nécessaire pour le petit dej. Merci Ricardo
Ricardo y Edit estuvieron aquí varios días y fue un placer tenerlos en casa. Animados, divertidos, agradables, limpios...y estoy segura de que también son unos anfitriones geniales!!!
Ricardo and Edit stayed here forma some nights and were great guests: fin, interesting, clean...i am sure they are great hosts too!!
Muy agradable y atento en todas las comunicaciones.
I've been staying at Ricardo's house for the past 2 summers and I only have great memories.
The house is cosy and clean and has all the commodities one may wish for. Ricardo lives in the estate but I always felt free to walk around and I always enjoyed total independence during the time I stayed there.
The place is surrounded by nature and is perfect if you want to switch off from the city stress.
I loved getting to know Ricardo and Edite (his lovely wife). They are really friendly and genuine people, it looked like we had been friends forever. Incredible hosts, always willing to help in anything they could.
They recommended the best beaches and restaurants and the best places to go party.
I truly recommend the boat ride to Fuzeta and Armona Island in their sailing boat. You will enjoy privileged views of the Algarve and almost deserted islands.
100% recommended! I will stay in his house every time I go to the Algarve.
I've met Ricardo last year during my vacations in Algarve. I will never forget those holidays, good food (he really know how to make typical dishes from Algarve with fresh shellfish collect by him) good company (he make us a campfire and pleases us playing is good old guitar). Really a good companion, a very helping guy, open minded, trusty.
My stay was off course, in is wooden house. At that time he didn't had the house for rent at Airbnb. The swimming pool is this year novelty, can't wait to go there and put myself in soak for a few hours :O) The place is very quiet, from sunrise to sunset. He knows all the surrounding area, if you need some advice, what to see, where to go... he is the right person to answer!
He took us for a trip in his sailing boat, a Vaurien...MEMORABLE...one of the funniest days of this holidays, we went prepared to sleep over the night in a beach (sleeping bags and lots of food). His wife made us a very tasty rissóis de atum, "tuna pasties"- by (website hidden) translator :O) ... the money was very well spent and nothing expensive!
I do recommend! He is now a very good Friend!
I had the pleasure of staying with Ricardo twice in my visits to Portugal and I absolutely recommend his wooden house.
The surroundings are very peaceful and you can really switch off from the rest of the world feeling nature all around you. In the heart of the Algarve and with easy access to all the main routes and attractions, Ricardo's house is a place surrounded by nature and almost untouched by man.
The house has all the commodities and is exquisitely decorated, allowing you to relax and feel at home.
As a host Ricardo is as good as it gets. Open minded, flexible and very kind where the impressions he left on me.
The deep knowledge he has from the area is certainly beneficial to any traveller. He knows all the good places to eat and visit, the less crowded beaches, the best places to fish and where to go if you want to have fun.
If you want to see the true Algarve and reconnect with nature this is the place to go.
Oh! And don't miss out on the boat rides. He will show you the most beautiful coves and amazing sunsets!

Moto E is powered by the latest Android KitKat operating system, 1.2 Ghz dual-core with 1GB RAM and 4GB internal memory (expandable upto 32 GB).
Motorola Mobility, on Tuesday, launched its cheapest smartphone in the Indian market—Moto E—priced at Rs. 6,999. The company, which presently sells two models in the country, is confident of hitting the half-a-million sales mark in a few days.
The US-based firm had re-entered the handset market in the country earlier this year after a nearly two-year hiatus. It launched the Moto G in February, followed by Moto X a month later, exclusively with online retail major Flipkart. Like the other two devices, the Moto E will also be exclusively made available on Flipkart.
"We have seen tremendous response for Moto G and Moto X and we are confident of crossing the half million units sales mark in the next few days. Moto E, our latest launch, will further fuel the growth that we have seen in Indian market," Motorola Mobility India General Manager Amit Boni said.
Moto E is powered by the latest Android KitKat operating system, 1.2 Ghz dual-core with 1GB RAM and 4GB internal memory (expandable upto 32 GB). The dual-SIM device sports a 4.3 inch touchscreen and comes with a 1,980 mAh battery and a 5 MP rear camera.
The handset is expected to give a tough competition to devices from homegrown players like Micromax, Lava and Karbonn, who are popular for devices in the budget phone segment.

You can test this at home with this simple procedure.
1. Get a sheet of mylar and some sticks, an emergency blanket will do.
2. Using the mylar and some sticks make a your balloon. The sticks will help to simulate the structures that can hold their shape.
3. Tie this off to any structure. That structure will be the stand in satellite.
4. Cover the balloon in glue.
5. Get out your favorite high power firearm and fire some rounds at the balloon. These will be the space junk.
6. see if any bullets, your simulated space junk, got stuck in the glue
Set off a bunch of nukes in the upper atmosphere. This will cause the atmosphere to expand, increasing drag and sending LEO space debris plummeting to earth.

automated irrigation system
I have a few seedlings and small plants that require very little water, just a 3-5 ml a day for some and been doing some research into how to automate the watering for these plants for when im on vacation.
What i want is an indoor water container to give water to these small plants on demand or e.g. every 2 days, and be able to control this depending on how the plants looks by monitoring this from an ip cam and when needed connect through mobile/web and give it a shot of water. I have a synology ds1513+ which will be nice to integrate to this x10 system, and maybe be able to add a humidity sensor to the plant also.
Can anyone suggest any systems that can be remotely controlled through a mobile/web/etc, and maybe even integrated with synology nas ds1513+?

Two log forms of hedonic pricing models, with the same set of independent variables, are applied to Property Sales and Property Rent. The quantitative variables in our dataset are "Gross Area" and "Building Age" of a property and the dummy variables are defined to represent different qualitative attributes of the property in order to test if the attributes are considered as significant factors of Sales and Rent. In conclusion, the positive common factors are "Gross Area", "Sea View" and "MTR/KCR". The three negative common factors are "Building Age", "No. of Flats in the Building" and "No. of Bus/Minibus Routes". On the other hand, the positive specific factor, for Sales is "High Level of Floor", while the two positive specific factors for Rent are "South Direction" and "No. of Band 1 Schools" in the district of the property. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z Domestic waste in Hong Kong http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/7489 Title: Domestic waste in Hong Kong Authors: Li, Chi-wing (李子詠); Chan, Karen (陳嘉麗); Cheung, Tsz-yuen (張芷苑); Poon, Yan-tung (潘恩童); Leung, Wing-ki (梁詠琪) 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Light pollution in Hong Kong http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/7488 Title: Light pollution in Hong Kong Authors: Lau, Sum-yi (劉心怡); Ng, Ka-ling (吳嘉玲); Tsang, Ho-ting (曾皓渟); Vong, Cheryl Yat-ching (黃逸晴) 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Capital structure analysis of Toyota Motor Corporation http://dspace.cityu.edu.hk:80/handle/2031/7487 Title: Capital structure analysis of Toyota Motor Corporation Authors: Cheng, Hong-ting (鄭匡廷); Cheong, Ka-hong (張嘉洪); Fok, Ching-ho (霍政豪); Li, Yuen-tung (李婉彤); Sze, Wing-yiu (施泳耀); Wong, Wun-ching (黃渙靖) 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
