Four gorgeous guys, one fabulous mansion and one challenge - turn the landlady's niece into a perfect lady and live rent free; fail and their rent will triple! Surely this task will be no problem for Ranmaru Mori, Kyouhei Takano, Takenaga Oda and Yuki Tohyama, who are lauded as the princes of their high school and have girls dropping at their feet daily... right? The boys' dream of rent-free living comes crashing down when they meet Sunako Nakahara, the girl they must transform. Sunako has devoted her life to solitude, preferring the company of anatomy mannequins, horror movies and the darkened seclusion of her bedroom to the presence of the 'dazzling creatures' that cause her to have violent nosebleeds. Flushing her out into the light might prove to be more than the boys can handle!
Sawako Kuronuma is just like any other high school girl who wants to make friends and be useful. The only problem is she bears a worrying resemblance to Sadako from 'The Ring!' Because of her reputation, people are not only terrified of her, but small dogs even bark in fear at her presence; in fact, the only person in school who will talk to her is the lively class hottie, Kazehaya. As the pair spends more time together, Kazehaya slowly begins to bring Sawako out of her shell and soon their feelings for each other develop further. Though with her crippling insecurities, lack of social skills, and a series of cruel rumors and misunderstandings, it seems that Sawako's dream of a normal life won't be quite so easy to obtain.
Like The Wallflower's close cousin, Kimi ni Todoke also features a fifteen-year-old girl learning to let other people into her life. Kimi ni also sports an amusing secondary cast and a reliance on deformed art to add humor and contrast to the otherwise standard (but beautiful) shoujo artwork.
While Kimi ni Todoke doesn't have as twisted a sense of humor, fans who like the underlying message and morsels of intimacy in The Wallflower will sure love the other title.
Both of those mangas focus on a gloomy, "sadako-like" girl without much self-confidence. Due to influence of a certain boy (or a group of boys in Yamanade) she gradually changes her ways, becomes more open and learns how to loose the "ghost" aura in order to show her beauty.
The main difference is that Yamanade main focus is comedy, and Kimitode main focus is heartwarming. Still, both are entertaining shoujo stories with "if-you-make-effort-you-can-change-and-make-friends" theme.
Wallflower and Kimi ni Todoke have very scary girls as the main heroines, or at least everyone believes them to be scary. The male protagonists in the story are attempting to change the socially awkward girls into something'normal' for the society around them. Neither one of the heroines have very much self-confidence in themselves which makes it hard for them to make friends. The journey to change is what is exciting about each of the series.
Ouran High School is a prestigious private academy where money and status count for everything. Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at the elite school, and is appalled by the lazy attitude of the rich and powerful students towards their studies. The Host Club is a clear example of this: a group of six attractive and wealthy boys spend their time entertaining the female pupils for a profit. When Haruhi accidentally breaks a ¥8,000,000 vase belonging to the club, they force her to work off her debt as one of the club's members; and to do so, she must masquerade as a boy! Can Haruhi keep her gender a secret from the club's exclusive clients?
Ouran high School Host Club and Wallflower both involve a group of very good looking guys trying to turn a girl that doesn't quite fit in with the society around her into the perfect woman. The girls characters are both independently strong in their own right which takes a hilarious turn in the series when they try and stand up for themselves.
Ouran High School Host Club and The Wallflower are both romantic comedies involving a female main character who is surrounded by beautiful boys.
A major theme in both manga is the idea of the transformation of the heroine. In Ouran this transformation is simply disguising the female lead as a boy. However, in The Wallflower the transformation involves a complete personality change from a socially inept recluse to a perfect lady.
Both stories are full of humorous scenes and dramatic happenings. If you enjoyed one you will most likely enjoy the other.
Yamaguchi Kumiko is next in line to be the boss of the Kuroda Ikka yakuza clan due to her parents' death. However, fresh out of college, Kumiko decides to pursue her lifelong dream of being a teacher. Now hired as a mathematics teacher at an all-boys school, Kumiko must hide her true identity. She's assigned to class 3D, inhabited by the worst of the worst delinquents. Popularly called "Yankumi" by her students, she tries her best to gain the respect of and offer help to these students who'd like nothing more to make her life a living hell.
These two are similar because of their kick-ass heroins. Both Yankumi and Sunako could beat up all of the men around them in a second. Yankumi is like the more mature Sunako.
Each manga is able the main characters being able to believe in themselves and the people around them. Each of the heroines have to face tough challenges and bullying by their peers the whole way through. But with their own courage in mind they are able to change their own outlook on life and have everyone else believe in them too.
Uran Arisaka has recently arrived in Tokyo and is eager to work towards a successful modeling career. However, she's also poor and can't afford her rent. Luckily, she finds one option that seems too good to be true: a modest monthly fee in a gorgeous house, but there's a catch: only attractive individuals can apply! Now, Uran must settle into her new life with three unlikely roommates – the wealthy Etsumi, the dancer Kirie, and the writer Tasuku.
Both involve a girl having to live with an unlikely group of boys, with a romantic subplot. Wallflower is far more of a comedy and has wacky chibi moments, but still, the plot is similar enough to warrant a recommendation.

Born in 1980, Michelle Williams started singing as a child. She performed gospel music for much of her early life. In 1999, Williams became a backup singer for R&B artist Monica. She then joined Destiny's Child the following year. With Destiny's Child, Williams made such hits as "Survivor" and "Bootylicious." The group broke up in 2005, but they have reunited several times since. Williams has released several solo albums as well,
"When three good girlfriends are together, you're free and you don't care who's around; you're just trying to catch up and be goofy."
"I've got my faith, but I'm like everybody else. I laugh. I cry. I hurt. I party."
including 2008's Unexpected. She performed at the Super Bowl with Destiny's Child in 2013.
Early Life and Career
Born on July 23, 1980, performer Michelle Williams started singing in her church choir. She later joined such gospel groups as United Harmony. As much as she loved music, Williams tried a different path in college. She studied criminal justice at Illinois State University before dropping out to pursue her first love.
In 1999, Williams got her first big break. She was hired as a backup singer for R&B star Monica for a tour. Before long, Williams reached new heights of musical success. She was recommended to Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland who were looking for someone to join their hit group, Destiny's Child.
Destiny's Child
Williams became a member of Destiny's Child in early 2000. "Independent Women Part 1," which appeared on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack, was the first song she recorded with the group. It also proved to be the group's first No. 1 hit on the pop charts.
Williams enjoyed more success with Destiny's Child in 2001, with their release Survivor. The album instantly became a top-seller, buoyed by such hits as "Survivor" and "Bootylicious." She took on a more prominent role on the group's next studio album, 2004's Destiny Fulfilled, taking on more writing responsibilities. After the tour to support the record ended in 2005, Destiny's Child announced that they would be breaking up.
Solo Artist and Actress
While with Destiny's Child, Williams successfully returned to her gospel roots with her first solo album Heart to Yours in 2002. She made her Broadway debut the following year, taking over for singer Toni Braxton in the musical Aida. On a roll professionally, Williams released another popular gospel album in 2004, Do You Know.
After Destiny's Child split up, Williams continued to pursue a range of creative endeavors. She starred in a national tour of the Broadway hit The Color Purple, based on the book by Alice Walker, in 2007. In the music world, Williams tried her hand at pop success with her third solo album, Unexpected, released in 2008. The album featured two dance hits: "We Break the Dawn" and "The Greatest."
Williams returned to the Broadway stage in 2010, playing the role of Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago. Across the pond, she also starred in the British competition program Strictly Come Dancing in 2010.
Destiny's Child Reunion
In February 2013, Williams once again garnered international attention when she reunited with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland at Super Bowl XLVII, taking to the stage with her former band mates during Beyoncé's impressive halftime show.

Both players would fill real needs in Detroit National Football Post
The Detroit Lions are hosting running back Reggie Bush and safety Glover Quin at their training facility in the hope of adding both players to fill sizeable gaps in the roster.
Bush has long been linked to the Lions and he could instantly become the team's top back. He arrived this morning, according to Tim Twentyman of the team's Web site. Bush would pair with Mikel Leshoure and be proof that the Lions are not considering a future for Jahvid Best. Bush has been a more complete player since he left New Orleans and could add versatility to the backfield.
Quin, the Houston Texans safety, would fill a pressing need for Detroit. The Lions have not re-signed Louis Delmas yet and they need help across the board in the secondary. Quin is reported to be seeking $5 million per season.
The Lions have also visited with defensive lineman Jason Jones. We'll see if they can make anything happen today.

To add to the freighter option, I usually trade the ship with an alt, who will issue a courier contract to my freighter pilot. I will then contract it back at destination. Remember that private contracts can be accepted regardless of range. |

Will I be demoted to a lower league in Starcraft 2 if I don't play?
It's worth noting that your MMR won't change if you don't play, even across seasons. Other people who keep playing might attain a higher MMR, giving the illusion of demotion, when you're actually just staying in the same place. |

How to Defend against the Stefano build?
Maybe you'd like to upload a replay of you loosing to this strategy. Then, people could point out your shortcomings. It really just boils down to sentries, immortals, and mad micro skills. I suggest you make it to gold in the Psionic Assault challenge if you have trouble with your sentry control. |

Does the Blizzard downloader download cross platform files?
Maybe in the states an ISP "doing it wrong" is a big deal, but down here we have two ISP, and none of them gets anything right. Choking the uplink will hurt any connection, by the way. There needs to be some leeway for packet reporting and negotiation. |

Why AI doesn't vary his strategy?
You might want to look into Green Tea AI, which is included in YABOT, but not part of it. You can usually find maps with Green Tea in bnet by searching for "+GTAI +18b", where 18b is for the latest version 1.18b. |

Is there a Custom Map to practice defending against specific cheeses?
Yeah, it's called Bronze League. You'll be cheesed 5 out of 10 games. Green Tea AI does have a bunch of cheesing commanders, but you still want to practice on ladder. Knowing a cheese is coming goes a long way to defending it. |

Can Changelings be detected?
There are mainly two ways Zerg will try to get a Changeling into your lines: Dropping them in the back of your base, or during an engagement. Both are easy to spot. In the first case, you should know that there was not <unit> of yours up there, and in the second, the Changeling will be set to follow one of your units, in which case moving the army around will quickly reveal him. |

Is it possible to burrow units to avoid damage from Psionic Storm?
Burrowed and cloaked units are visible to the player on the map. If you are looking carefully, they are easy to spot. Storms and Fungals are a pretty usual response. EMPs also reveal cloaked units temporarily, by the way. |

Do master-level players use build orders frequently?
Day9 recently did a daily about simplifying build orders. You should watch it. Long story short, you create groups of things that need to get done, and you complete one group before moving to the next. Progamers more or less do it like this, creating "groups" on the fly in their head, based on the state of the match. |

How often should I cheese my low-level opponents?
Cheese equates to a kick in the nuts when fighting another human being by physical means. It will win you most fights, especially against unprepared opponents, but you will learn nothing, and you will never improve your proper fighting. And your opponents will not only feel defeated, but also humiliated. Whether this is important to you is a matter of personal ethics. |

DOWN AND FIBERFILL PILLOWS are a cinch to care for as most are machine washable. For best results, we recommend washing two pillows at a time (to help keep the washer balanced) and using a front or top-loading machine without an agitator. If an agitator-style top loader is your only option, place the pillows in the tub vertically, so it's less likely they'll get wrapped around and damaged by the agitator. If your pillow has a care label, it's best to follow it. If not, use warm water and select the gentle cycle. We also think it's a good idea to add on an extra cold-water rinse and spin. Tumble dry the pillows on low heat, fluffing and turning them often. In our Home Appliances and Textiles Labs, we toss in a few rubber dryer balls, like Nellie's, to help plump the filling and keep it from clumping as it dries.
FOAM PILLOWS can't be machine washed, but if there's a removable cover it's safe to launder it according to the care instructions on the tag. To remove dust from a foam pillow, vacuum both sides with your vacuum's upholstery tool. If possible, dial down the suction level to make the job a bit easier to do. Or, tumble the pillow in the dryer on the no heat or air-only cycle for 20 minutes. Spot-clean any soiled areas with a cloth dipped in a mild sudsy solution. Rinse with a damp cloth. Allow the pillow to air dry completely before putting it back on the bed. Some foam pillows include instructions for hand washing. If you choose to follow them, be very gentle. Wet foam is heavy and tears easily. To help pillows stay cleaner longer, use liners under pillowcases and wash them monthly.

These days you can play video games on almost any gadget it seems. I'm a big gamer myself. I love console gaming, PC gaming, even mobile gaming. One of my favorites over the past year has been gaming on tablets. A lot of gamers don't realize it yet, but tablets are fantastic for gaming. There are so many great games you can play on them - the formfactor means you can play virtually anywhere, they have nice big screens compared to smartphones, and the touch controls can facilitate some unique game-play mechanics.

Lamar Odom Signs with Spanish Basketball Team
by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .Lamar Odom is going away again.
But not to rehab this time... to Spain!
The ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian has signed a two-month contract with a professional basketball team in that country, Laboral Kutxa. It includes an option to be extended for the rest of the season.
Odom played for the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2012-2013 season and was close to a return with that squad in November.
But the baller's personal problems have been well documented over the past several months, with Odom falling back into a life of drugs and infidelity.
He earned the title of THG Celebrity of the Year #4 as a result, but he lost his wife in the process.
Following months of denials and attempts at remaining positive online, Khloe filed for divorce in late 2013.
Other current NBA players who have played for Laboral Kutxa include Goran Dragic, Luis Scola, Jose Calderon and Tiago Splitter.

Fortunately Lamar has red something more about Spain than the average newspaper news. Although the country has seen better times, and the taxes have raised over the last 4 years, middle class is still better sustained that the average American. Living in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where Laboral Kutxa Baskonia team was founded, will be better for him than living in Los Angeles. Fresh air and different habits could help him to get out of the vicious and erratic behaviour. If not, at least he won't see any beggars and homeless pushing their trolleys as regulary happens in some L.A. places.

We stayed here one night after going to Canton trade days. This is our second stay at this hotel. It is an easy and scenic drive from here to Canton. The hotel is clean and the beds are fine. The breakfast in the morning had delicious waffles. There were also coffee, muffins, fruit and cereal. The room has a mini fridge and coffee maker. We had no concerns with our stay and will stay here for our next Canton trip. ...

The Flypaper Effect: Evidence from the Italian National Health System
Public expenditure reduction in Italy is achieved through a revision of social security and health care programmes. In particular, public health expenditure control has been implemented through a reform that imposes more stringent budget rules at local level and a considerable reduction in the grants-in-aid from central government. The response to a decrease in categorical lump-sum grants from the central to local governments might result in an asymmetrical response to intergovernmental grants: local spending is highly responsive to increases in grants, but it is relatively insensitive to grants reduction [Stine, 1994; Gramkhar and Oates, 1996]. In our paper we have estimated this hypothesis using a sample of cross-sectional and time- observations covering the 20 Italian regions over the period 1989-1993. Two different models have been estimated based on different budget balance rules. The empirical results of our model show the existence of a standard and a super flypaper effect in both models. The introduction of the soft-budget constraint hypothesis results in a stronger effect of grants and a lower response of own resources which shows that before reducing expenditure regional governments prefer to incur some deficit.Download Info

My plan for golfing in Hua Hin next Feb (2014) has snowballed.Threatening to turn into an avalanche.In other words,our modest 4-ball( couldn't keep it quiet) has grown into a large group of avid golfers(from different countries) & not sure where its going to end.The general consensus is 4N/5Ds including travel dates,2 rounds of golf,with a free day in between, played in the two best courses in Hua Hin.
All inclusive!!
All this is beyond me to organize.So need your help.
A good/reliable travel agent in Hua Hin / Bangkok /Thailand to help me with costs and logistics.
The two best/scenic/challenging courses in Hua Hin (heard about Black Mountain and Banyan) .
Will get back for more info.Thanks in advance.
Golf in Hua Hin- Need your advise Hanuman & other Thailand experts

IMO you have chosen the two best courses in Hua Hin already - Black Mountain & Banyan. Black Mountain is a mountain course but not that hard. One or two par 4 holes can be reach from the tee, if you cut across the dog leg. Banyan is a lot more challenging, with hard to read greens and windy conditions. For 1 par 3 hole I normally need a 3 wood to reach the green but then again I am not a long hitter.
I'm a 12 handicap golfer and to give you an idean on the two courses my score for Black Mountain is usually around my handicap but for the Banyan I normally score 15 or 16 over.
To help you control the cost, guest green fee for weekday should not exceed 2,500 per person and this include caddy and cart. For weekends and holiday expect to pay a bit more. For accommodation I highly suggest that you stay on the main stretch of beach, the same beach where the Intercontinental Hotel, Grand Hyatt etc are located. Perhaps you can email the hotel asking for a group rate and ask if they will be able to assist you with tee time and course fee. Don't let them persuade you to play on another course.
The nearest thing to a link course in Hua Hin belong to the army but their course is a bit easy with wide fairways, and not many hazard. One hole fron the sea and often your ball will land on a real beach!
Enjoy and let me know if you need further assistant.
I do see a lot of vans around Hua Hin advertising travel agency specifically for golfing. I am afraid I don't know of them and thus cannot help with this. -

Bangkok courses I like:
Lam Luk Ka
Bangkok Golf Club (not sure how it is after the flood)
Royal Gems Dream Arena Course (haven't played, but sounds good
Laem Chabaeng (near Pattaya)
Siam Country Club (near Pattaya) -

Thanks. I would have to cab it and rent clubs. I suppose the concierge could help with that.

Good list by Bisbeee and to add to that checkout these courses, some hosting major tournaments as well:
Amata Spring Country Club.
Thai Country Club.
Alpine Golf Club.
* all the above are just on the outskirts of Bangkok and considered very good,
For courses that are IN Bangkok:
Rajapruek Golf Club
Royal Bangkok Sport Club
However, These courses don't normally allow non member.
Most club houses at the courses I've mentioned will rent out clubs and shoes. -

Thanks H for the tips. I'll look at them. It would be fun to play golf in Thailand. I have played in New Delhi and a few places in the Caribbean and in Fiji as well as Mexico. Maybe I can get a medallion for my bag.

If you are able to get in only 1 course around Bangkok I suggest Amata: http://www.amataspring.co.th/web/

Thanks Hanuman.Great info.Now its taken a rather weird turn.The 'Golfing group' has turned into a motley crowd,a lot of golfers intend to travel with families.The 'crowd' has swelled to over 60 and I'm beginning to experience panic attacks.Its not my kinda scene.
My plan now is to hand over the reins and ease myself out of the situation and find an excuse to avoid the holiday altogether.
A lesson well learnt.Silence is indeed golden !!
Thx once again. -

inquest: Wise decision! Similar thing happened to me, I don't play but I'm familiar with golf courses in China and was asked to organize/accompany a golfing group including several couples. Before long the weird turn happened with the families' main interests being sightseeing, shopping, etc. so I suggested a few travel agents for them to contact. In the end the trip was aborted.

Entrepreneurs combat recession
While some might think it unwise to take risks in the current economic gloom, there are a few who disagree. Kipp takes a look at the power of the entrepreneur.
October 5, 2010 4:16 by Eva Fernandes
There are a fair number of recessionary entrepreneur success stories from the UAE circulating the web, so Kipp took a quick look at the local entrepreneurship scene.
Cabarles Flowers: from fresh to hand-crafted flowers
Consider the example of Cabarles Flowers, a Dubai flower shop that suffered significant losses in the recession. After sales dropped by 30 percent, managing director June Cabarles ventured into handcrafted flowers in an attempt to boost sales. His hand crafted efforts – made from locally produced articles like pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, almonds, dried roses, shells of peanuts and pistachio nuts – offer his hotel and office clients the chance to save up to 80 percent while retaining the aesthetics of their fresh flowers order.
Wild Peeta- Dubai first fusion shawarma shop
Over a year ago two Emirati brothers started a fusion shawarma shop in Dubai Healthcare City with a desire to provide a local option for healthy fast food. Incurring their fair share of setbacks and disappointments, (including a massive flooding which put them out of business for four months), the Wahadi brothers are now pleased with the positive returns of their venture and they have two new outlets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the pipeline.

"I'm giving up coffee for January"
"I'm going running every morning before work"
'I'm never drinking again"
Now I'm sure most people will have made a few New Years resolutions, myself, and some of the team here at Ocean are guilty of a few of the above. Like many outrageous new years resolutions, we are fully that aware we are setting ourselves up for failure. Whilst some may be just be in jest, there is always that wish that we can make a change that sticks, and that we will benefit from.
So what is the best way of going about making a resolution that you can achieve?
People often talk about setting SMART goals. This involves making the goal:
Realistic, and
Now these terms have obviously been tailored to fit the word SMART, but carry a lot of value.
My first bit of advice would be to make sure your goal is achievable. We all know no one could live without chocolate for a year, so don't even toy with the idea!
Secondly, make your goal measurable. If you're trying to lose some weight, make it a set amount and then give it some timescales. For example, try losing 3 pounds in the first week.
Once you achieve it, you can plan you next target. Simples.
I would also suggest writing down your goal on a picture and sticking it somewhere you can see it. That picture of you from back in the summer may give you that extra push to get out for the morning run!
Finally, try sharing it with someone. It is much easier in these tough carb-free times to have a wingman to enjoy the highs and the lows with.
So if you are serious about making a few changes to better yourself my advice would be to try apply a few of these principles to your goal, and don't forget to commit to it!!
Good luck, and best wishes for a successful 2014!

Home > Research Legal Advice > Identity Theft > Can I sue my health insurance company for negligence that resulted in id...
I was notified in February 2010 that my health insurance carrier had two laptops stolen from their offices back in December 2009. No reason was given for the delay in informing those affected. These laptops contained personal information including names, addresses, phone numbers, SSN and protected health info. In mid January, and again today, I was contacted by the fraud departments of two separate credit card companies indicating that someone had called to obtain credit using my personal information. Do I have a claim against my health insurer for being negligent? I've spent countless hours trying to clean this mess up.
To the extent that it is forseeable that an item of value and portability such as a laptop could be easily stolen, and that the cost of taking the relatively simple precaution of securing the highly sensitive information would be low, yes.
This answer is provided for informational purposes only. Actual legal advice can only be provided in an office consultation by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction, with experience in the area of law in which your concern lies.
