I love your houses *O* but I'm crying because they require Show-Time, and Late Night, and other EPs, and I'm in the corner with my base-game and Pets. Can you please make one of your awesome houses (I love that they are CC free and HUUGE- big Sim families all the way)for base game and/or Pets?...
Mar 28, 2013, by Velvet Black
Just wanted to say that I love your houses, and really appreciate that you make them CC-Free!
APOLGIES FOR MY LONG ABSENCE! Blame LIFE! LOL. anyways, I AM BACK for REAL!Blog post added Feb 22, 2013

I'm Still Here and Building!Blog post added Nov 15, 2012
So it has been some time since my latest lot release, but no worries! I haven't given up on building! I'm still working on a request for another cliffside home. It's smaller, but still quite time consuming to build. You can see a sneak peek of it in my previous blog post! In the meantime, SEASONS is out! I am so looking forward to building new lots using that EP! It's probably my favorite... ...More
About Me
If you're looking for new lots to put in your game, then go ahead and take a look through my lots! I have been building lots since Sims 2, and I am happy to say that I have gradually improved, especially now in The Sims 3. In case you are wondering, here are a few of my policies:
1. REGARDING CUSTOM CONTENT (CC): I rarely use custom content in my lots. In fact, I've only used CC once (I think) in one of my lots from The Sims 2. Unless otherwise stated, my lots have no CC in them.
2. Please do not re-upload my lots anywhere and/or claim as your own. I would appreciate if you just link back to the original download page here in The Sims Resource instead of uploading it anywhere else.
3. REGARDING REQUESTS: I take requests as long as it falls within the building style I specialize in. If you have a request, send me a Private Message with ALL THE DETAILS you need me to know for your request, like which Expansion/Stuff packs you have, number of bedrooms/bathrooms and any other rooms, color schemes you prefer in general or for specific rooms... EVERYTHING you want me to know so that I can make the lot perfectly suited to you.
4. TRIBUTE LOTS: If you are an object creator and want me to create a lot to showcase your object creations, make sure you have enough of them to fill up every needed room (like a bedroom set, kitchen set, living room set, etc). OR if you want a specific room in one of my lots dedicated to your content, then give me a link to the set/objects so I can figure out when and where to use them in my construction projects (example, you want your bedroom set featured in a future lot I will release, then send me a link to the set).
5. Of course, Have fun and Happy Simming! God Bless!

This week is National Vegetarian Week 2011! I'm sure you can all join me by giving a big round of applause to all those individuals with enough fortitude to go without meat for an entire lifetime.
I have great respect for vegetarians and almost became one myself, back in the day. A co-worker kept putting literature in my employee mailbox outlining the ill effects of various types of meat on the body. At last I decided I owed it to myself to give it a try, since by her calculations I would probably die tomorrow if I didn't.
It started off easily enough on the first day. I skipped the bacon at breakfast and picked the sausage out of my breakfast burrito. I declined my usual two slices of ham and said no to a delicious looking t-bone steak. After a breakfast consisting of a cup of tofu yogurt and a handful of ground up tree bark, I headed to work, eager to share the good news with my co-worker. She was thrilled and offered to show me the ways of the dedicated vegetarianite.
By lunch I was starved and craving meat, but I held firm and forewent my usual hamburger, deep-fried steak, and bbq chicken wing basket in favor of a crab grass salad and a cup of all-natural pine cone tea.
After work, I could hardly haul myself out of the office and stagger to my car. My vegetarian friend was leaning against the side door waiting for me, her hemp pants hugging her thighs suggestively.
Drumsticks… I thought.
"So how's it going?" she asked, bending down to save a beetle that was wandering across the parking lot. As she stood, her shirt slipped up and I caught a glimpse of her slim torso.
Ribs… I thought. My mouth began to water.
Looking back, I fear I may have misunderstood what she said next. At the time I thought I heard her say, "Would you like me for dinner?" I now feel she had probably said, "Would you like to join me for dinner?"
In any case, that particular employee no longer works for my company and I have gone back to eating meat. However, it was a valuable lesson. Not all of us are cut out to be vegetarians, it seems, but that shouldn't stop us from celebrating their special week with them. So let's celebrate National Eat A Vegetarian Week! The only advice I would give is to shop carefully. A lot of them are kinda stringy.

Beauty Tips : Gyaru Make-Up Tutorial
Hi Lucedale readers! This is Phoebe, the beauty contributor for this site (I'm new!). As requested, today I'm gonna show you the step-by-step tutorial of how I made Clara's latest Gyaru look as seen in this post. Let's start!
Basic steps : do the face. First, create a
clear and even base using either liquid foundation or powder (left photo). Step 2, highlight the center of the nose, under the
eyebrows and under the eyes with a lighter shade of powder. Then create shadows
underneath the cheekbones and on either side of the nose using a darker shade.
Add blush to the cheeks, preferably pink or peach.
Step 3 - Apply the base
colour, starting in the middle of the eyelid and sweeping it towards the outer
corner. In this instance I used a natural shimmery bronze eyeshadow, but you
can experiment and use any colour you like.
Step 4 - Use either
liquid or pencil eyeliner (black) for the top lid and extend the line further
than your actual eye.
Step 5 - Then connect
the previous line to the underneath of your eye, but don't let it go past the
center of your eye. It should be thick at the outer corner and get thinner as
it gets closer to the center.
Step 6 - Use a small
brush to cover your eyeliner with black eyeshadow. You can make the eyeliner
appear thicker and bolder or you can use the eyeshadow softly to create a more
smokey effect.
Step 7 - Apply a black
eyeliner pencil to the inner corner of the eye and connect it to the outer line
underneath the eye.
Step 8, or the final look - Team this look
with a soft neutral lip colour and lipgloss. Take off your hairpiece and make a big fringe out of the front part of your hair, then let the rest of your hair lay down naturally. This will be good for casual look, but also fancy if you need to suddenly drop in a party! Look at the before and after comparison below to see how the eye-works can absolutely give you different impression :
More tips : For maximum effect apply fake eyelashes and contact lenses. At this post Clara were using her typical soft blue-gray shade of contact lens, with medium thick fake eyelashes.
Then, if you'd like to make a good picture of yourself, you can simply add more volume on your hair or create certain Japanese-influenced hairstyles. Don't forget to make cute poses as well - something like dolly face or innocent smiles. Google the Gyaru girls for references! If you have any further question, just leave at the comment and we'll manage to find you the answers for that. Have fun and don't forget to let us know if you have tried the tutorial - we'd love to see and share the looks!
All make-up and photography by Phoebe Isabella.
See ya girls (or boys)!

In an earlier WNW thread, Ron Bishop brought up interesting facts about haying in the 1940's. I said that I'd see if I could find haying photos. Here are a couple.
"Hay Rick on a farm in Le Sueur County, Minnesota about 1950". This long stack of hay was called a rick in this part of the country. I think it must have been the last stack of hay on our family farm. The fence posts on the left-hand side were hand split from one of the wood lots on the farm. When new fences were built shortly after this photo was taken, cedar posts were bought ready-made from the lumber yard. The photo that's copied here is an original contact print with the famous deckle edges.
"City Nephew with his Country Uncle about 1920". The boy's pitchfork is pretty clear; the uncle's is lost in the light. The hay behind them is the start of a cone-shaped stack; it would be built up carefully and even more carefully topped. Our family used to joke about "temporary tops" because now and then when rain threatened the stacker had to have a quick solution; we joked because sometimes "temporary" became "permanent". The boy in the photo was too young to help much yet; but it was common for adult city relatives to help out from time to time.

Olypen and Philip,
Your photos are relics of history and I join Larry in reacting with great emotion to these scenes of long ago. Not so many generations ago the majority of people had some direct connection with a farm, even for city kids like me. Maybe it was for only a few days or a week per year with Gediman relatives in Maine.
Seeing your old family photos and thinking about Kodak filing for bankruptcy this week puts fear in my mind whether digital images will ever be past down to later generations. Somehow I doubt our digital files will be seen by our great grandchildren. There's something about a negative and print that may seem so retro to many, but has lasted well over a hundred years.
Thanks for showing us your pictorial gem, and to Ron for inspiring this thread.

Nice recollections of haymaking. The only thing missing is the smell - aagh.
Re Olypen's mention of ricks. In the UK the ricks were circular with conical tops made from, I think, reeds. These were topped out in my village with wooden figures, usually redcoat soldiers with black bearskin hats and arms that rotated in the wind. These folk art figures are sought after now.

Around here those moveable roofs were square with pointed conical tops. They were called "hay barracks" -- the same last syllable as "ricks" may indicate the two names were the same word once. I think I have a photo of one that I took eight or ten years ago but I can't lay my hands on it. By that time, the 21st century, it wasn't being used anymore but was just lying mouldering in someone's farmyard.
The Dictionary of Newfoundland English
has an entry for the term.

Larry and Les: Thanks for your comments. I, too, wonder about how digital photos will be preserved. Snapshots, at least some of them, did fairly well in black albums and shoeboxes; and you could pick them up and look at them without any intermediate technology.
Torment: Yes, the aroma of freshly cut hay is memorable. I had never heard of the decorations put on top of the hay rick. It would be great to have a photo of one. I remember tarps thrown over ricks, anchored by ropes with old tires or blocks of wood at the end. There was nothing like that on the rick in my photo; I suspect that it was rough hay fed across the fence in feedbins-- the finer hay was inside.
Philip: Those are fascinating photos of the folks having some fun with the horse cart! And a fascinating usage of "barrack" which I had never heard. A couple of dictionaries I looked at say "rick" comes from Old English and "barrack" comes from the Romance languages, so they may not be related.

This shows straw stacks but hayricks were similar. In this case the little stick-up things were more like pins used in ten pin bowling rather than the more exotic soldiers with windmilling arms - but you get the idea.

Yes, you're right. I was waxing etymological without doing the correct thing: checking the dictionaries!

Torment: Thanks for linking that great photo of straw ricks with the pins; the ricks themselves are highly finished and trimmed, aren't they? I have seen photos of grain stacks over here that were quite nicely finished, too; just a bit before my time so I missed ever seeing a real one.
Philip: Well, the case may not be closed on rick/barrack-- I just did a quick check. I hope you can find that photo of the hay barracks.

My dad was a wood cutter and sold wood by the cord. A cord can be broken down into 'ricks'. A rick of wood is the face of stack of wood, piled into a cord. A rick can be 1/3 of a cord with 16" wood or 1 half cord of 24" wood.
The guy and the boy are standing in front of a 'shock' of hay. When the hay is cut it lays in windrows, then shock piled to dry. That is the way horse hay is handled. After it has dried enough it is loaded onto a wagon or truck and hauled to the main stack where it was place till ready to use. And there was a proper way to place it on the stack to protect it from the weather.
My dad and uncle digging out of the snow with a load of stovewood.
The tall dead trees are what was left from the 1910 forest fire--- excellent stove wood. { the picture is about 1938?}

Ron: That's a great photo of getting the truck (?) out of the snow. I'd like to hear more about that tractor that's doing the pulling-- looks like it has tracks on it? Thanks for straightening out what the pile of hay is in the photo I posted-- I do remember hayshocks now and I think you're right that's what's in the photo. I wondered why it looked so loose because the man (my Dad) was a very careful stacker, and your identification straightens it out. There's a man in our neighborhood who cuts "fireplace" wood on his property and sells it around the city; I think his business has probably changed some because of rules about bringing wood from one area to another (disease control). Did you have woodsplitters in your area-- men who would go from place to place, stay with the family for a while, split the wood into "chunks" or sticks, and then move on? Here they were still around in the 40's and then disappeared.

The tractor was a Fordson wheel tractor converted to a crawler. A very dangerous piece of equipment to operate, in a hard pull they would flip over backwards.
No wood splitters as I know of. but there were lumberjacks that lived mostly in logging camps, and spent part of the winter in taverns till the were broke.
A woman complained that dad had shorted her on a load of wood in town,well dad hired a guy from the tavern to go stack it for her. well most of the blocks of wood were either split in half or left in the round. Well the guy he hired to stack it split it into quarters and when stacked she ended up with about a half rick too much. Dad didn't charge her for it.

text: Before X's and O's can be considered, let's take of the Rx's for the Packers first, the medical news. Among the observers the last week or so, only Mark Tauscher remains iffy heading into the Divisional showdown with the Vikings at Lambeau on Sunday night. He's practiced on a limited basis with his sore shoulder but even Mike McCarthy calls him questionable to doubtful at best. Donald Driver hasn't practiced all week with a quad brusie but he should be available. There's better news on the defensive side of the ball where Clay Matthews should make his return after missing a week with a pulled hamstring and Brandon Chillar's shoulder is well enough for him to return, not to mention the distinct possibility that Al Harris and (less likely) Atari Bigby could be activated after coming off the PUP list. Ryan Pickett's sprained ankle also appears to be history. Every able body will need to deliver against a Minnesota team that has scuffled to a 2-3 start despite talent that took them to the NFC title game a year ago. Randy Moss will play his third game with Brett Favre and only the Vikings secondary remains thinned by injury. If the Packers find a way to keep Aaron Rodgers upright (14 sacks in 2 Minnesota games last year), plays can be made against the Minnesota defensive backs. It might have to be a pass happy night considering how stout the Vikes have been against the run for the past several years. Their front 7 has played together for a couple of seasons and it shows. The Vikes also have an edge in the kicking game, Chris Kluwe vs Tim Masthay is no contest, Ryan Longwell hasn't missed yet while Mason Crosby has had big field goal tries either blocked by the Bears, or the upright in Washington. The Lambeau energy will have to carry the shorthanded Pack and the execution will have to be clean to avoid a three game slide and a 4th straight loss to their bitterest rivals. Here's a sweep through the locker room to hear what the boys have to say about the game:

As disks climb towards 1 TB being an average size, the error rate per disk becomes surprisingly high...
But who cares about error rate per disk?
Error rate per system administrator or per year or per gigabyte seems more interesting.
Posted Jan 19, 2008 0:41 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Hm, the former of those is interesting. `Why yes, you *can* reduce your error rate: just hire more sysadmins!'
Pair admining? Test driven administration? XA (eXtreme Admin'ing)?
Posted Jan 25, 2008 21:00 UTC (Fri) by AnswerGuy (guest, #1256) [Link]
"Just" hiring more sysadmins clearly wouldn't reduce your error rate. By itself it would almost certainly *increase* the number of systems administration errors. However, I have been mulling over the application of agile development methods to systems administration. (In fact I even gave a brief talk on that idea at last years LinuxWorld in San Francisco). Consider some of the possibilities: Test driven administration: Configure monitoring for that new server before you configure the server. Alarms should go off; response procedures should be executed ... a service window should be scheduled (with estimated date of completion), which should defer further alarms from that source. (Same applies to each service that's to be deployed). Now you know that the monitoring is doing something useful. When the monitoring shows the service "going green" then you know you have configured the service correctly (with respect to the monitoring system --- i.e. DNS or other directory services, IP addressing, routing, etc). (If you find a corner case --- where monitoring gives a false "green" status --- try to improve the monitoring to more closely model a service's *correct* functionality). Integrate imaging and system's restoration. Image a system, configure it, backup configuration and initial (test) data, then create a new imaging profile to facilitate automated re-imaging of the system with automated restore of the configuration and data. Then wipe the system and re-image it using that profile. Repeat until the system's complete configuration and data is restored automatically. THEN put the system into production. There are a number of other ideas along similar veins. One of them is that we might want to institute a policy ... for critical production servers ... of having our admins work in pairs (perhaps over a shared GNU screen session) where one of the admins types each command, then the other confirms that it's safe/correct and hits [Enter] when they both concur. (Better admins among us have learned to pause before hitting [Enter] when working "live" on mission critical servers ... take a deep breath ... re-read that command ... perhaps try the "echo" or "--dry-run" version of it first ... consider the risks ... and *THEN* (maybe) hit [Enter]. But even the best of us gets in a hurry, gets flustered or tired, or just experiences cognitive hiccoughs). (In my case I was an electrician for years before embarking on my IT career --- working with potentially live wiring offers similar lessons with potentially lethal and immediately painful consequences for any lapse in due care! And yes, despite all that I did occasionally get zapped!) JimD

"Just" hiring more sysadmins clearly wouldn't reduce your error rate.
It would if the error rate you're using is disk errors per year per sysadmin, which is what we were talking about.
It underscores the point that there are lots of error rates you can define, and you have to pay attention to your denominators.
Nonetheless, your ideas about reducing errors per something by improving system administration methods are interesting.
Posted Jan 19, 2008 12:19 UTC (Sat) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link]
I care about error rate per disk - if each disk is very likely to have a bad block at any time, as seems more likely to be the case with today's larger disks, then you start to really need RAID, block checksumming, etc, simply to avoid losing data. I believe that people are storing more and more data on a given system, and the fact that p(error on this system) is going up should be of concern.
Posted Jan 19, 2008 17:54 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
if each disk is very likely to have a bad block at any time, as seems more likely to be the case with today's larger disks, then you start to really need RAID, block checksumming, etc, simply to avoid losing data.
That risk would be the same if you had 10 disks, each with one tenth the data and one tenth the error rate.
I believe that people are storing more and more data on a given system, and the fact that p(error on this system) is going up should be of concern.
Now you're talking about error rate per system, not per disk.
And I'm not convinced that's important either. Spreading data out across 10 systems doesn't make the data loss hurt any less.
Posted Jan 20, 2008 18:08 UTC (Sun) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link]
Error rate per system is a better metric as you say - your original post said 'error rate per system administrator' which was a bit confusing.
Posted Jan 20, 2008 20:57 UTC (Sun) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
If a major cost of disk errors is a system administrator having to replace a disk, restore from backup, recreate data, etc., then you care how many times a year the system administrator has to do that. Consolidating data from two systems onto one doubles your error rate per system, but doesn't mean you have to increase your RAID redundancy and such because the error rate per system administrator is still the same. On the other hand, piling a terabyte of movies onto the systems managed by a system administrator increases that error rate and might require some new method of dealing with the errors.
Error-rate / disk
Posted Jan 30, 2008 3:11 UTC (Wed) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054) [Link]
When the error requires taking the disk offline to fix it, I care. Until I can access all of a Tbyte disk in the time it takes to access a, say, 200 Gbytes, the downtime per spindle will be greater, and what you really care about is the downtime, for any problem.*
It's bad enough waiting for a fsck on a 100 GB partition.
* Well, data loss figures in there somewhere, but lost data typically hurts a few users, but being offline affects everyone.

Meet and receive an autograph from Reds Hall of Fame shortstop Leo Cardenas on Saturday, May 25 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. A Red from his debut season of 1960 through 1968, Cardenas was a member of the Reds' 1961 National League championship club and was an All-Star each season from 1964 - 1966 and again in 1968. A Gold Glove winner in 1965, Cardenas was known as "Mr. Automatic" for his superlative defensive skills. Traded to the Twins after the 1968 season, Cardenas was a member of the Twins' back-to-back division title-winning teams in 1969 and 1970 and earned a fifth career All-Star selection with Minnesota in 1971. Cardenas also played for the Angels and Rangers in a career that last through the 1975 season. He was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 1981. The Leo Cardenas Signature Series Autograph signing is free with admission to the museum. Limit one autograph per person.
Join Daryl Smith, author of Making the Big Red Machine: Bob Howsam and the Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s for a special presentation on the blockbuster trade that brought Joe Morgan to Cincinnati, a deal that transformed the Reds into the best team of the 1970s and one of the greatest teams of all-time. Mr. Smith will explore the origin and history of the trade as well as its impact on the players involved, with particular emphasis placed on Morgan's post-trade transformation into one of the most complete players in the history of the game. The presentation will also provide insight into the brilliance of Reds general manager Bob Howsam, whose moniker "The Architect of the Big Red Machine" arose in large part because of the Morgan trade. The presentation is free with museum admission. Copies of Mr. Smith's book will be available for sale at the Hall of Fame.
Meet and receive autographs from Gold Glove catcher Johnny Edwards and Reds Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Maloney at the Reds Hall of Fame on Saturday, July 6 from 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM. A Red from 1961-1967, Edwards was the Reds leading hitter in the 1961 World Series, won Gold Gloves in 1963 and 1964 and was an All-Star each season from 1963-1965. With two no-hitters to his credit, Maloney is one of only two pitchers in Reds history to throw more than one no-hitter in a Reds uniform (Johnny Vander Meer is the other) and is the club's all-time leader in career strikeouts. Edwards caught Maloney's first no-hitter, a 10-inning shutout of the Cubs on August 19, 1965. The autograph signing is free with admission to the Reds Hall of Fame.

So what makes a great burger? There are a few simple rules. But if you remember just one of them, it should be that less really is more. Which is to say, the less you add to your ground beef, the less you handle the meat when mixing it, and the less you flip it while grilling, the better burger you get in the end.
At heart, a quesadilla is pretty much a Mexican grilled cheese. Take a tortilla, stuff it with something savory, add some cheese, fold it in half and toast it. It's also pretty delicious.
The trouble with spring is that we get eager to grill, but we can't always count on the weather to cooperate.

The Social Engineer's Guide to Women
August 2011
Posts: 332
--==::The Social Engineer's Guide to Women::==--
For the last 3 or 4 months, I've really taken a break from the technical side of hacking to find out about myself. Turns out I am really good at picking up women. I never thought of myself as a ladies man before, I've always thought of myself as a pretty shy guy, but this time I've had to myself really opened up my eyes as to how I can mix what I love to do, with real life.
Random info:
Women can be intimidating to all of us, even to other women. Going off of the example of American women, they deeply fear wearing anything that another women is wearing, even more so if the other woman is attractive. Vulnerability, check!
--==::The Target::==--
This scenario has never happened to me personally, but I've seen this mysterious, unexplainable, nonsense unravel right in front of me. Melissa (made up character for our story), is 23 years old, brown hair, brown eyes, and is about 170 cm tall, and approximately 56kg. So she has quite the lovely figure, yeah? So Melissa has just gone to a Starbucks for a nice cappuccino with her two friends. They decide to sit outside, in hopes of getting some looks from some burly looking hunks.
Of course, what macho man is going to go out for coffee with his bros, right? So that's where someone like...oh, I don't know, someone like us comes into play. It doesn't take any fancy words, or flowers, or anything trivial like proclaiming your love to your new found princess, Melissa. Often women will go out in three's (if that makes sense). Three's as in three of them, or three women to be more blunt. Why? One, three is an odd number and goes against being by yourself. Two, it won't give them the appearance of just having a conversation between two of them. And 3, most importantly...will leave one just kinda chilling, and listening to the conversation. Yeah she might contribute every couple of minutes or so, but this is your target.
--==::The Approach::==--
So here are three basic rules for your approach:
[*] NEVER. EVER. approach a woman, or group of women from behind. Put yourself in their shoes for this one.[/*:m]
[*] If a woman glances at you, and does a double take, that's an invitation to talk to her at some point, preferably before she leaves.[/*:m]
[*] Keep conversations casual for first meetings, unless of course you're at a bar, or club, or any place where women expect anything but a casual conversation.[/*:m][/list:u]
So now we have some guidelines for our approach. Well what will we talk about when we do make an approach? Will they reject us wanting to sit with them? What if X happens, or Y????? What if they don't LIKE US!!!!!!!!?????? ... stop. Take a couple of deep breaths.
From my experience living in Japan (of course, the Japanese in general are infinitely more polite than Americans), it does not matter how great of a conversation they are having (unless of course, they are just two of them, and one just experienced a great loss, like death), they will generally, and even more so if you come off suave enough, will stop whatever they were talking about and will psychologically allow themselves to allow you to interrupt them. So take that inkling little bit of fear of rejection out of your mind. When you see them, you have to act quick, but you also have to keep your composure and remain in logical thought. In other words, slow your roll.
So you, our coffee-shop hero, approach Melissa and her two friends, and ask with a little bit of finesse, "Excuse me, I am so sorry to interrupt, but is this seat taken?" Now, obviously you have to play into the involvement they have with each other in their conversation. It wouldn't be very logical to interrupt them in the middle of a very active conversation, and would make you look like a very rude person. Of course, this isn't always true, as a matter of fact, some women like to be interrupted. It truly depends on the woman, but in this case, you interrupt them at a valley (low point) in their conversation.
Now, if you walked up to them with a smile, with great posture, and dressed like you are about to drink at a coffee shop, there's a pretty good chance you will be invited into the conversation. If you walk up to them with a half-ass "I pity myself" look, dressed like Harry Potter from Harry Potter (lol), you will probably get a disgusted look, and a remark of something along the lines of, "We're busy." or, "Yes, it is taken."
--==::The Infiltration::==--
Now, if immediately after you've asked them in your dashing coffee drinking attire, they all start giggling, you've pretty much already sat down at the table with them. To cut the over explained bullshit, if they have a positive reaction to your approach, you're in, if it's negative, continue to another coffee shop, because every other available woman at that coffee shop just saw you fail, and therefor have labeled you as the non-Alpha male (there are exceptions to this as with any other situation of course).
So you've been invited to the conversation...now you have to adapt, and you have to adapt rather quickly I must say for two reasons:
[*] You will have something (even if it's a very small amount it doesn't matter), to contribute to the current topic.[/*:m]
[*] You will give the appearance of being quick whitted. [/*:m][/list:u]
--==::Adapting to the Situation::==--
Have you ever caught yourself saying something very generic about some random topic to a seeming "expert" in that particular field, and come off looking like another seeming "expert" in the same field of discussion? Same principle here. Melissa and her friends are talking about computer troubles. FUCKING STOP RIGHT HERE. Repeat after me..."I do not know anything about computers." Say it again. Now say it louder. If you've disturbed a neighbor, or a roommate from saying this phrase so loud, you get 1000 cool points.
So again, Melissa is having computer troubles, and is talking about it with her friends. Do not interrupt, listen to how they respond to computer issues. Are they supportive of Melissa? Are they unsupportive of Melissa? Unsupportive opens avenues to possible new women, supportive obviously does not in most cases, but as always there are exceptions.
--==::Winning Over the Target::==--
Now obviously being a hacker (of some sort), you will have a couple of hook-ups with some other computer intelligent singularities.
You: "I am so sorry to hear about that!" (Melissa's computer troubles)
Melissa: "Yes, I've done everything I could think of to fix it!" :( ...... :)
You: "You know...I know a guy who's pretty good with computers, he might be able to help you out." <--- You become her coffee-shop hero here, if you didn't know this already
Melissa: "Oh my gosh, that would be awesome!"
--==::Information Gathering::==--
From this point, is where all of them start drawing interest into who you are, where you came from, things like that. Wouldn't you want to know the name of your personal hero?
Of course, these questions will be subtly brought up after the current topic dies out. From here you just have to be interesting, and somewhat contributive to the conversation. Not so much that you're overbearing, and not so little that you lose your cool-factor and become shy.
Now if you continue to be such a suave master of disaster, you will most likely be able to get Melissa's number.
Remember a couple of things though:
[*] Do not solely focus on the Melissa of your scenario[/*:m]
[*] You will need her friends' psychological approval before Melissa will give you hers[/*:m]
[*] DO NOT EVER GIVE OFF NEGATIVE ENERGY, unless if to sympathize, or proclaim a minor misfortune of your own. [/*:m][/list:u]
So great, we've approached Melissa, we've infiltrated her conversation with her friends, and we've won they're approval. Now what?
--==::Obtain Mission Information & Leave::==--
Now it's time to seal the deal and leave.
Any abrupt closure will do for this scenario. For those who rarely approach women, a good, "I am so sorry, I have to get going to do X." Stand up, give the appearance you were about to turn, and say, "Oh yeah, here is my number." Write it on a napkin or something, and finish with a cowboy-like exit. You know, throw your jacket over your shoulder, and give the appearance that you're walking away into the sunset....or the parking lot, really doesn't matter. Throwing a jacket over your shoulder as you leave gives off the Billy Bad-ass impression. Most importantly here, though, is the angle at which you leave them. Try to get as close to leaving at 180 degress as you can. As this is a quick and direct route out of the situation, and more importantly so they have to watch you walk away until you're completely gone(leaving your John Wayne persona sitting in their minds that much longer).
So why would you give your number in this scenario, and not ask for hers? This leaves her to seek you as an avenue of help once again for her computer troubles, once again making you the hero. This also makes her have to initiate contact with you, and most importantly, gives her and her friends the impression that yes, you are available, but they are not your only option (survival of the quickest to call, yeah?).
So what important, social engineering topics have we learned from picking up Melissa?
[*] Blend in with others in your target's area. i.e. If it's a corporate business, dress in a three-piece suit. (dress right for the occasion)[/*:m]
[*] Assess what kind of situation you're in before you go further. (see the approach)[/*:m]
[*] No matter what the situation, remain calm. (Resisting fear of rejection)[/*:m]
[*] Infiltrate your target's area. (initiating the conversation is half the battle)[/*:m]
[*] Win over your target's approval. (offering an avenue of help for Melissa's computer problems)[/*:m]
[*] Get the information you need. (Melissa's phone number)[/*:m]
[*] Leave in a nonchalant manner. (Throwing of the jacket over your shoulder/path taken out)[/*:m][/list:u]
To close on this situation with Melissa, she most likely would give you a call to see how you're doing, and to ask for your computer genius friend's number (or in a perfect world for him to come over with you so you two can chat). If you were wanting to develop anything from that, you would have to put in the work for it. Which means asking her out. All of the doorways have been opened for you in this scenario, but ultimately..."You're the one that has to walk through it."
Most importantly though, always remember, the conversation can be manipulated, and so can people.

I have to say, American women, are a bit different... Me personally I don't care to go after women most of the time; not looking for random sex lol. Now where I am from, sex is a big part of the lifestyle here... Legal prostitution will do that to an area... So most women around here, won't buy the whole hero thing, and most would laugh at the whole john wayne into the sunset scenario... Granted it will work, but around here, it's better that you know how to fix things, rather then your friend. Otherwise, it's your friend that is gonna get laid and not you lol. I know first hand, being "the guy" has gotten me hit on by both men and women, gotten me high, gotten me drunk, and much more lol.
All in all though, I have to say, great read. Did kind of make me think of the many guys I have watched fail and get laughed out the door around my area, but still the same concept of those who get the girl lol. Around here, it's about confidence, money, and how much you can show off... For the women worth holding onto though; neither that or this would work...

6. | circumcised | ||
An enhancement to the penis by surgery, the removal of redundant tissue, a hygiene measure, widely practised in the USA and many established religions. I had all my sons circumcised at birth; they are now adults and are so grateful to me.
1. | circumcised | ||
a guy whose penis has had the skin cut off of it. "Yo man, where the rest of your dick?". "Don't know, I was circumcised when I was a baby."
2. | circumcised | ||
what should neva have happened to me.
3. | Circumcised | ||
All this shit about you becoming healthier by removing the forskin of your penis is COMPLETE BS.
Look, your skin is there FOR A REASON and there's no need to take it off, there are no benefits of having a uncircumsised penis, studys have proven that. It's there to protect your penis. Cutting the forskin makes your glands less sensitive over time, and if your doctor cuts too much you can have certain problems or even die. Though the circumsised person's partner may receive more pleasure during sex, he will not receive as much or even last long for that matter. Where'as the uncircumsised person and his partner will both receive pleasure equally. The bottum line is: CIRCUMSISION IS NOT NEEDED. Uncircumsised Person: Ey, having my forskin owns, once I get laid I'll be BALLIN.
Circumcised Person: Shit man, good luck with that, I already got laid but I couldn't last for 5 minutes.. |
4. | circumcised | ||
The often considered barbaric surgical removal of the foreskin: a soft, sensitive peice of skin at the tip of the penis.
Curcumcision came to the US in the 1800s to discourage masterbation. Today there is no proven medical benefit of circumcsion. (cirp.org) My boyfriend was circumcised at birth because his parents thought it'd be a good thing for him.
5. | Circumcised | ||
An operation that removes the foreskin of a man or, more often, an infant's penis. Local anistetic is used and it is a very painless surgery. It is tradition to perform on newly born Jewish males. Afterwards, the penis is much cleaner and most women find it more attractive. Many men think it imasculates them, but that is definatly not the case. Girl: Truth or dare?
Boy: Truth Girl: Are you circumcised? Boy: Uhmmm yeah. Girl: Sweet. Oral? |
7. | circumcised | ||
The removal of the of the skin cap giving the penis a beautiful look, simplified hygiene, straight pissing, and good feeling all over--shaft, head, and its own g-spot, the frenum. Girlfriend to her guy: Your cock,is good looking, smells good, and tastes sweet.
Guy to girlfriend: You will never give me AIDS, even if you fool around. You will like my staying power for better orgasms. |

For detailed 2012-2013 proposed amendments, visit the City Council's Comprehensive Plan website.
The City is reviewing its outreach plan and will post additional information on this page. Stay tuned!

The first step to achieving business agility is to "SOA-enable" your business applications. By "SOA-enable" I mean that the capabilities within each of your business applications should be delivered by a set of services in addition to the traditional application user interfaces. These services can be loosely coupled with those of other applications, to compose dynamic and agile business processes.
These dynamic business processes can be integrated with other business processes to create highly agile applications that enables your company to respond to changes in your business environment without requiring expensive and lengthy software development.
The good news is, if you have purchased enterprise application packages over the last few years then they should have been "SOA-enabled" using Web services technology. If they are not then get your vendor(s) to give you the service interfaces for your applications, this should be free if you have a support contact in place.
