Wales Millennium Centre has cleaned up at a national award ceremony, winning four awards, including the top national category of Platinum and the UK Entertainment Sector award in the Loo of the Year Awards.
The Loo of the Year Awards and associated Attendant of the Year Awards for cleaning staff have been identifying the best in Britain since 1987, and are recognised as standard setters for all those who provide 'away from home' facilities for staff, customers and visitors.
Leon Phibben, the Centre's Cleaning Supervisor, is particularly proud of the team's achievement. "This was the first time we had ever entered. I have always known our toilets are amongst the best – our customers often tell us so. But success does not come by chance, simply because we are a comparatively new building. It's because we place a high priority on giving all our visitors a first class customer experience'.
"Winning these awards is a great accolade for our cleaning teams – without their efforts, always striving to be the best, I know we would never have achieved this UK recognition.' he added. 'It's also highly motivational for our team to be sharing a platform with some of the UK's top companies. During Womex last year, when we welcomed over 5,000 people every day from all over the world, the one thing we regularly heard was 'How do you keep your toilets so clean? The answer is simple - through team work, continual improvement and consistent hard work. We have a great team, and they deserve to bask in the limelight, something normally restricted to the stars on our stage!"
Florence Hertl, one of the award winning cleaning operatives, added: "This award means a lot to me and it makes me understand that people appreciate the work we do. It gives me the courage to continue to work hard."
The Centre, which welcomes over 1.5 million people through its doors every year, has always taken pride in the cleanliness and quality of its loos. This is the first time that formal recognition has been given, not only for the loos, but also for the teams who ensure they are kept pristine at all times.
Every entry received an unannounced visit from an authorised Loo of the Year Inspector and was assessed against 100 judging criteria – including overall standards of cleanliness and management.
The awards were presented at a ceremony in Birmingham, attended by six of the cleaning attendants. To ensure every single member of staff who contributed to the success is recognised the Centre held a small celebratory event in its restaurant on January 20.

Who would speak for you if a serious accident or illness left you unable to speak for yourself? If a terrible car crash left you incapable of breathing on your own, for instance, would the medical staff treating you know that you would want -- or would not want -- mechanical ventilation to keep you alive? Would your spouse/partner, children, close friend or anyone else know your desires?
This is merely one example that illustrates why you should create an advance healthcare directive -- a legally binding document that you prepare ahead of time in order to specify your medical-care preferences if you cannot do so when necessary.
Advance healthcare directives can comprise several types of documents, including:
• Living will
• Designation of a "healthcare agent," "medical/healthcare power of attorney" or "healthcare proxy"
• Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order
• Organ donation instructions
• Other specific medical/healthcare instructions
This article offers information and resources to help you create an advance healthcare directive (or just "advance directive") to ensure your end-of-life wishes are carried out in case of accident or terminal illness.
1. Obtain the advance-directive forms specific to the state in which you live by visiting the National Healthcare Decisions Day website, which maintains a list of online providers. Select one of the links beneath the "Where can I get an advance directive?" category, navigate to the appropriate page and download the form. (The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization also offers this page, which is organized by U.S. state.)
2. Once you have obtained the correct forms, read the advance-directive documents thoroughly. Make sure you understand the nature and ramification(s) of each question you need to answer. If you find it helpful, then print a "practice copy" of the forms to fill out as you contemplate each question.
Note: You might find this step the most difficult you encounter when creating your advance directive. Not only must you directly confront the concept of your own mortality, but you will also need to integrate your views on life, family, loved ones, religion, the nature and duration of medical treatments, etc., into your answers. You might wish to discuss these end-of-life issues with your spouse/partner, children, relatives, friends, religious/spiritual leaders, medical providers, legal advisors, etc., as necessary. The following link offers additional suggestions and resources to help you: Advance Health Care Planning.
3. Next, you need to select a family member, friend or another individual to serve as your "healthcare agent," "medical/healthcare power of attorney," "attorney in fact" or "healthcare proxy." (The terminology varies by state.)
Note: Selecting the appropriate person to make medical/end-of-life decisions on your behalf if you are incapable of doing so is critical if you wish for your preferences to be implemented. While you might initially think of appointing your spouse/partner, or your son or daughter, for example, first put yourself in the shoes of each potential healthcare proxy you consider. The key question to contemplate is whether this person could actually carry out your desires -- both those you specify and, more important, those left to his or her interpretation. You might ask yourself if this individual could "pull the plug" if it came to that, or would his or her relationship with you, emotional or intellectual maturity, religious beliefs, etc., result in a medical/end-of-life decision that does not reflect your personality and wishes.
4. Once you have answered each question and feel comfortable with your decisions, record your answers/fill out the form.
5. After completely filling out your state-specific advance directive, sign the form(s) in the presence of witnesses. In addition, if your state requires it, have the document(s) notarized.
6. Next, you need to spread the word by making/distributing multiple photocopies of the official signed/notarized documents and giving them to your designated "healthcare proxy," anyone specifically named in your advance directive, your primary-care physician, family members, friends and/or other loved ones, your attorney, etc.
7. After distributing your advance directive to everyone you think should possess a copy, place the official signed (and notarized, if required) document with your other important papers. This location might be a safe, a bank-deposit box, with your lawyer, etc.
8. Finally, you should review/re-evaluate your advance directive every 2-3 years and update it if necessary. Consider this document a work-in-progress that takes a "snapshot" of where you stand at each stage of your life and, therefore, might change as you move forward. In other words, you should ensure that your advance directive not only reflects how you feel as you grow older, but you should also make sure it remains accurate after you experience a major life change, such as divorce, the death of a significant loved one, the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, etc.

On one hand, parents should be better monitoring their kids, but Apple could have done more to ensure purchases are authorized by the account owner. Yet at the same time, Apple and users want a system that works easily. Touch ID is a big step in that direction which forces authentication for all purchases, but isnt a burdensome process like repeatedly typing in a secure password.

I'm brand new to javascript and I'm muddling my way through it. I've made an online calculator that actually works pretty well except for one problem. Here's the calculator:
The problem is this: if you enter numbers into the "Basic Bid" section, and then enter zeros into the "Advanced Bid" section, it should calculate the "basic bid charge" based on the numbers in the first section. The "Total Charge for Advanced Bid" should be zero, and then "total bid" should add basic and advanced together, which in this case would make it the same number as "basic bid charge". In theory anyways. But for some reason it's adding a zero on the end, an extra decimal place, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
Could anyone help with this? Thank you!

As Bernanke Readies To Leave Fed, Investors Wonder About Stimulus
by John Ydstie & Audie Cornish
December 16, 2013 - 9:00am
This week the Fed's influential Open Market Committee meets to discuss some unfinished business. With Chairman Ben Bernanke getting ready to turn things over to Janet Yellen, Fed policymakers must decide whether it's time to start winding down the "quantitative easing" program put in place years ago to protect the recovery.

How can I convert MP3 to AWB, AMR format?
16-04-2012 14:50
what soft can be used?
16-04-2012 16:57

Because I faced the same issue today and although the Nokia Multimedia Converter was last updated in the year 2003, it did the trick for me. Instead of giving the setup.exe your Nokia Account, go back one step, and use this to 'register' that product.
In that converter, as audio, select AMR Wideband (WB AMR) which creates .awb files. Those have a sampling rate of 16 000 Hz which is great for HD-Voice like audio books. Actually for voice-only media, I went for a bit-rate of just 12.2 kbps, still great as explained by Wikipedia. With that bit-rate only go for standard AMR if your phone does not support the wideband variant, because there is not difference in size.

My photo gallery dissapeared all of the sudden after it was working perfectly fine. I have done everything but it doesnt work. Also, my album page dissapeared as well. What went wrong?????? The data is there, the photos are there, the categories are there but i get this message:
"Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help."
I checked the link on the gallery page and it added an /archives/ to the url. If i delete that the feature image appears… click but no pictures.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am amazed by this theme perfect for what i need ! Just 2 pre-sales questions: 1. Facebook app page does not load properly. 2. Do ull have Video tutorials ? as i just know basic wordpress.
Thanks for the fine comment.
Apologies for the facebook app. I tried to test a plugin for someone and we almost wiped out the whole internet. Did not realize it scared my Facebook page as well.
Just waiting for the final server updates from Facebook and all sHould be Ok.

I'm having a problem where Image Slider's buttons are stuck at "1". (As opposed to 3 slider items.) Even a click doesn't bring up the next picture. Is there any way to fix this? If an update is required, how do I obtain it?
How do i set reminder timespans ??
what is the timespan that you want?
Regards AJ
1 day and 2 days before would be fine… however even the 1 day timespan disappered… so i was wondering where and how do i set timespans.
You'll see that the program subtracts the days it gets nearer to the event.
if there's only 5 days to the event, it would be unfeasible to set a reminder for 7 days before. so the program subtracts the reminders as the date draws nearer, till the date has gone whe nit doesn't show reminders.
Regard sAJ
Oops!! sorry i wasn't aware of this functionality. It's not obvious through you videos either.
Glad you're allright now.
Quick question AJ im having trouble with the Menus, iv gone over the help files but my Theme locations only has two Navigations available 1 – Primary Navigation 2 – Facebook Navigation iv made another menu and called it bottom but still nothing, is there anyway to sort this. my base theme was twenty ten not twenty eleven

Can someone tell me how to add music to the albums. The tutorial stop short of explaining. I am lost…
Hi There
When you added a new album, right above the post editor is the media manager, just click it and select upload files to access the media uploader.
Regards AJ
LOL I am well aware of the media uploader. But the only thing I can do is insert the media in the album post. Am I missing something?
hi how can in enable comment for my post ?
The enablement or disablement of post comments depends on the settings in your theme settings->discussion page.
If you have difficulty to set it up make contact and i'll assist.
Regards AJ

What has happened to the Music Wordpress Theme – Helpfile? I can't see any support and don't have any of the video files I read about here…
Hi there
unzip the folder that you downloaded from Themeforest. in the folder will be another folder called music_help, and in that folder a file called index.html
When you click to open the file it will open in your browser and give you access to the help files.
Just click on any topic in the lists, and a lightbox will open with the corresponding video tutorial.
Regards AJ
There seems to be a problem with the link. The index file opens up a page with a list but nothing is clickable.
When you use Internet Explorer or Crome with very strict internet privacy settings it might prevent you from opening.
The solution is as follow:
1. check the top of the page for a browser message that will enable to open the page.
2. Open with the Firefox web browser
Regards AJ
AJ – I uploaded 2 audio files did not insert and they both showed on the album page but when you click on the file no music plays. Says No music detected in player. ????
Usually this indicates that either there's no album selected as featured album or music other than an mp3 was upload.
To remedy just go to the Music theme options, and in the audio-maps tab click to select the default music player and save.
Check that the extension of the music to ensure that it is indeed a mp3 that was uploaded (.mp3).
If you still struggle, make contact and i'll assist further
you can make contact through my profile page here or the cro.ma site here

Hi seanhimself
Your request points to WordPress being updated to version 3.5 on your site.
Some of the libraries that ships with wordpress was updated and the themes had to follow suit.
all our themes was successfully updated to the latest version and below you will find a discussion on how to get your theme updated to be fully functional.
more info here
Regards AJ
Hi guys,
I am trying to find if I can add different sidebars to different pages, please. Went through some of your comment pages and cant seem to find an answer. Also checked your info file and do not see it in there.
Much appreciated, Thanks
Any chance of the theme becoming responsive in the future? Thank u for answering.
Hi There
We are working on our responsive framework at present, but do not have a time and date for a release as yet.
Regards AJ
Around when can we expect the fix for the problem with Image Slider's buttons not working?
Excellent theme! We love it. The only problem I'm having is with the map not displaying on the driving directions page. I have the latest version on Music 1.4.3 and the latest version of WordPress. I created a page for Driving Directions and I have the page attributes set to Driving Directions. When you click preview from the "Edit Page" screen, the map displays, but when you view the page from on live site and it pulls any address from the calendar, the map will not display. I turned off all plugins and still having the issue. If anyone has had this issue and fixed it, please let me know where to look.
Again – the issue is the Google Map will only display in preview environment not in live environment.
how can I remove the breadcrumbs from the posts area ( i don't want to display the Breadcrumbs and not sire which file to edit to remove it)
Hi mywebcoach
in the loop.php just look around line 40 and delete the following:

 <?php ntl_posted_on(); ?> <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )); ?>"><?php echo get_the_author(); ?>

Hello AJ,I just sat up the latest version of the theme, however my calendar page and events are not working at all, I tried with your documentation however on the video there is a Calendar tab settings on the Music options that does not appear on my version, any help would be highly appreciated.

It is not clear whether a third-party arbitrator has been selected. On behalf of Graham, the NFL players association had filed a grievance to challenge his position classification, a designation that could change Graham's franchise player salary by nearly $5.3 million. As a tight end with a franchise tag, Graham would receive a one-year contract worth $7.053 million. If Graham were classified as a wide receiver, he would get a one-year deal worth $12.132 million. Graham plays tight end but wants to be designated as a wide receiver because he lined up off the line of scrimmage -- meaning split wide or lined up as a slot receiver -- 67 percent of the snaps in 2013. ---St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2014 regular season for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances. Bailey will be eligible to return to the Rams' active roster on Monday, Oct. 6 following the team's October 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bailey was a third-round pick last year and caught 17 passes for 226 yards while playing in all 16 games. ---The Cleveland Browns cut quarterback Vince Young. He recently signed a one-year, $730,000 contract with no guaranteed money. Cleveland also cut defensive back Brandon Hughes, defensive lineman Brian Sanford, quarterback Alex Tanney and running back Fozzy Whitaker. The Browns also signed 11 undrafted free agents. The group includes former South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw. ---The NFL draft, televised on ESPN, ESPN2 and NFL Network, reached a record 45.7 million viewers over the three days of the event, according to The Nielsen Company. That figure broke the previous mark of 45.4 million viewers set in 2010. ---Johnny Manziel's No. 2 Cleveland Browns jersey is the top-selling jersey on NFLShop.com since April 1, ESPN.com reported. The NFL will not say how many Manziel jerseys were sold, but did say that its official website store sold nearly as many Manziel jerseys during last weekend's draft as it sold Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck and Tim Tebow jerseys during their drafts combined. ---The Indianapolis Colts agreed to terms with undrafted free agent cornerback Louchiez Purifoy. Purifoy played in 37 games (19 starts) for the University of Florida, recording 102 tackles (69 solo), 12 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two interceptions, two sacks and one fumble recovery. The Colts also announced they waived four players -- linebacker Alan Baxter, fullback Stephen Campbell, tight end Martell Webb and kicker Carson Wiggs. ---The Jacksonville Jaguars released six players from their roster, including 2011 third-round draft pick guard Will Rackley. Running back Delone Carter, running back Shaun Chapas, wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, defensive tackle Drake Nevis and wide receiver Stephen Williams were also let go. ---The Detroit Lions signed 11 college players who went undrafted. One of the players signed is Missouri quarterback James Franklin. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Franklin was a dual-threat quarterback at Missouri, throwing for 6,962 yards and rushing for 1,729 over his career. ---The Arizona Cardinals released running back Ryan Williams and three other players. The Cardinals also cut tight end Brett Brackett, center John Estes and linebacker Kenny Rowe. ---The Cincinnati Bengals cut backup quarterback Josh Johnson in the wake of drafting Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. Johnson, a sixth-year quarterback, joined the Bengals last season and was their backup to Dalton. Johnson played in two regular-season games, rushing seven times for 20 yards. He didn't throw a pass. ---The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived tight end Josh Baker and cornerback Bobby Felder and released tight end Steve Maneri. The Bucs also added 11 undrafted free agents. ---The St. Louis Rams came to terms with 15 undrafted free agents. Among the group is Tulsa running back Julius "Trey" Watts, who is the son of former Oklahoma star quarterback and former U.S. Congressman J.C. Watts. Trey walked on at Tulsa and as a senior in 2013, he rushed for 1,329 yards and a touchdown. ---The Kansas City Chiefs signed six rookie free agents and waived two players. The Chiefs placed fullback Eric Kettani and receiver Rashad Ross on waivers. Neither player has seen any regular-season action. ---The New York Giants made a series of post-draft roster moves, releasing four players and signing five rookie free agents, all of them defensive players. The team terminated the contract of quarterback Rusty Smith, whom they signed on April 28. The Giants also waived three players: linebacker Allen Bradford, cornerback Junior Mertile and punter Jordan Gay. ---The Buffalo Bills released running back Anthony Allen. Allen (6-foot-1, 223 pounds) is a former seventh-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens (2011). In his first two NFL seasons, he appeared in 21 games serving mostly on special teams. ---The Seattle Seahawks released long snapper Jorgen Hus. He signed with Seattle on April 3. Hus originally signed with the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted rookie free agent on May 9, 2013 but was released during training camp on Aug. 26 and did not play last season. ---The Dallas Cowboys released six players, including defensive tackle Frank Kearse. Dallas also released guard Chris Degeare, wide receiver Lance Lewis, defensive end Tristan Okpalaugo and linebackers Quinton Spears and Jabara Williams.

Be One of the Few Who Do
Last night I felt inspired to ask a random question on twitter: "Wondering: do you have goals or just wishes?" It seemed to have struck a chord with people. There's a wide gulf between wishes and goals, my friends. A very wide gulf indeed.
This week I'm working on fine tuning my future plans. I journal out my vision of my "ideal life" in as detailed a manner as possible. Where I'd like to live, what it will be like to entertain, what I'll feel like, what I'll wear, where we'll vacation, what we'll do for fun, what we'll do for fulfillment. Details. Tiny details. These aren't wishes. These are plans.
How sad to have a book of wishes? You're tapping into vastly different emotions when you conjure up these images and categorize them as wishes. Think about it for a moment. Close your eyes and "hope" you get to work safely this morning. Hope traffic is easy. Hope your engine runs smoothly. Now....what did hope feel like? Did you feel an undercurrent of anxiety? Stress? Did you also see yourself getting to your destination in a less than positive mood?
With "hope" we are leaving the possibility in our minds that this thing we want might not happen. That doesn't feel good. Hope leaves the option of failure.
Let's try it again. Only this time "expect" to get to work just fine. Imagine the sun shining, you're listening to something great on the radio, traffic may be busy but things are going fine. Imagine yourself walking in and being greeted by your coworkers.
Now that's a much better day. Was the traffic, the weather or your office any different? No. But you were. You expected a good day, a great drive and a positive experience. And guess what? You gave yourself one. You're in control of much more than you realize, just use that noggin of yours correctly.
There's a physiology that accompanies stress and one that is present when we expect good things. When you're anxious or "down" about something you use your body differently. But when we are confident and sure of ourselves we stand straight. We feel good inside. We carry our bodies in a way that tells our minds to feel good.
{Don't believe any of this? Have you ever been to a party or a friends house and observed how confidently someone entered the room? They didn't speak a word to you yet, but you were drawn to their body language. They seemed at ease. There is absolutely a mind/body connection going on there.}
And the results are vastly different when we tell our minds to "expect" things. What if you were headed in for surgery. No one wants the surgeon who "hopes" things go well. That guy is nervous inside. I want the surgeon who expects the procedure to go well. He walks taller, comes off more confidently and has steadier hands. You might say this is a subtle difference in language and you'd be right. But just pay attention to how you talk to yourself. If you're wishing or hoping for a lot rather than planning or expecting, you might need a little adjustment.
Sports your thing? Don't you want to back the team that expects to win? The ones who see themselves as winners? Champions? They think differently. Walk differently. Play differently. In their mind, they already see the victory as theirs. These guys aren't in the locker room "hoping" to luck out on the field. In their minds, they've made plans to win.
So you see..there's a big difference between wishes and goals. I don't see my journal as a book of wishes. If I did I'd sooner burn it than read it. A book of dreams, while it may seem sweet to some, seems like wasted time and emotion to me. Why waste time on wishes? It seems sad to me. I'm authoring a book of plans for my future. I'm deciding what I'd like the rest of my life to look like, smell like, feel like.
Don't "wish" you'll see Prague, Paris or Portugal. Why bother? Instead, make plans to see them. Expect to spend time there. Look forward to your experiences.
Likewise, don't "wish" for success, or a spouse, or a child, or a new career. Expect it. Plan for it. Trust me, the moment this goes from "hope" (which feels anxious on the inside) to "expectation" (which feels pretty darn good) you'll start to figure out ways to make those plans happen. You'll act differently, walk differently, talk differently. Life will be better if you'll just stop wishing and and start planning.
Now...go out there and expect to have a great day. And please, throw that book of wishes away and start making plans. Your life will be better for it.

As usual, Lauren Conrad looked great when she left her Los Angeles home yesterday afternoon. Lauren was wearing slim jeans, a loose off-white top and a white Balenciaga biker bag as well as a wooly hat. Now Lauren may be very sensitive to the cold but we're thinking a wooly hat may not be the smartest thing to wear under the California sun?! That's the price you pay to look trendy we guess!

Happy Sunday evening folks. We will have BlueNC down for maintenance this evening beginning at 9:00 p.m. for updates to some modules as we head into our big upgrade. If all goes well, we will be up and running again before I fall asleep before midnight.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
I've been thinking a lot these days about the human capacity for denial. It is an amazing thing to behold, even when the consequences are profoundly dire and imminent. From the coming water wars and climate change to income inequality, poisoning the environment, peak oil, and our infrastructure collapse, the signs of growing chaos surround us.
This from a billionaire:
At the same time that people like you and me are thriving beyond the dreams of any plutocrats in history, the rest of the country—the 99.99 percent—is lagging far behind. The divide between the haves and have-nots is getting worse really, really fast. In 1980, the top 1 percent controlled about 8 percent of U.S. national income. The bottom 50 percent shared about 18 percent. Today the top 1 percent share about 20 percent; the bottom 50 percent, just 12 percent. But the problem isn't that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution.
Consider this your open thread for the weekend, and for you lurkers, some food for thought: over the years, I've had dozens of people tell me how much they enjoy reading BlueNC, but they're "just not the writing type." Or something along those lines. When I peel a few layers, I often find they really don't believe they're qualified. Or maybe not so much "qualified" as they aren't confident enough in their analytical skills to hang their ass out to dry in a public forum. If you feel that way, consider these observations:
Seems about right.
The Republican Party is no longer the flag bearer of any actual political ideology or movement. It represents only a collection of paranoias and conspiracy theories bundled together by grifters, promoted by hucksters and obsessed over by rubes. It no longer has a functioning philosophy of government any more robust than declaring government itself illegitimate; it is a collection of dullards demanding rebellion for the sake of rebellion.
Then again, if you're reading this, you already knew that.
Watch your back, and your front, fellow travelers.
This is your open thread.
Seriously, folks. You need to stop trying to rein in the GOP from acting on their worst instincts. Because every time you do ... every time you manage to get a tiny little concession from them ... people start to think they're being reasonable. They are not being reasonable. They are systematically gutting decades of slow progress to protect our environment and create a more sustainable future. And when the laws finally hit the books, all the tiny little concessions in the world won't add up to anything worth having.
North Carolinians need to see the full ugliness of GOP policies, and truly feel the destructive impacts of those policies on children, the environment, public safety, and the common good. Until that happens, they'll run the table.
We are about to begin the process of upgrading BlueNC to a spiffy responsive design that will work beautifully on any size screen without loss of functionality or content regardless of whether the site is accessed on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.
There will be some unavoidable structural changes because we are upgrading versions of Drupal, but hopefully they will enhance the site.
We've always sought to keep BlueNC lean - though we've tried a few functions and features that were ultimately removed. We may look for new features for the site once we have the initial upgrade completed.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please speak up in the comments. I know I speak for the entire admin and front page team when I say we would love to hear from you.
Most of the work will happen late at night, but I will notify you in advance so I don't take the site down in the middle of anyone's blog post masterpiece.
No matter how much the Tillisberger does to destroy progress in North Carolina, in the final analysis, those actions will be not even a raindrop in the ocean of cosmic time.

On Tuesday the band and its label, Warner Brothers, announced that iTunes had started selling its first eight studio albums, along with three compilations. But iTunes' window of exclusivity is expected to be short. According to people briefed on the deal who were not authorized to speak about it, Black Sabbath's music should come to streaming services in about a week.
Tony Iommi, the band's lead guitarist, said that it had "been a long time trying to explain to fans why the music wasn't available." While there is no official explanation for the delay, it's widely believed a dispute between the band and Warner Music was the cause.
The eight studio albums are available on iTunes for $ 9.99 a piece while the three compilations range from $ 9.99 to $ 59.99. [Direct Link]
It's nice that Apple acknowledges that there is a genre called "Metal", but Black Sabbath is certainly not in it. They're Rock, maybe Hard Rock, but not Metal.
Yes they are considered metal, they started the genre. Sure they aren't as heavy as metal is consider today, but the genre had to start somewhere and it started with Black Sabbath.
And why the hell hasn't Apple added Indie to the genre list?? It's by far the most popular among older teens!
I'm an older teen and I'll take the Sabbath please.

This guy is a stranger so you have no idea how he'll react if you ask him out. Canadians are known for never wanting to offend anyone, unless they playing hockey a startling transformation that, anyway you have no idea how he will react as you don't know him. Keep that in mind and keep in mind that there are men out there who will preceve another guy asking them out as an assult and react in what they preceve to be self-defense.
I think Rev's advice nailed it. Filrt with the guy. If he is intrested he will filrt back, if not he will think you are just being friendly.

I have a good friend (who is a straight woman) who always assumes everyone she meets is a lesbian until proven otherwise. I thought she was a lesbian when I first met her. She even referred to her husband as her partner.
