INVENTOR THE uanms PETERS co. PnoTo-LITNQ, WASHINGTON, 04 c.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 663,833, dated December 11 1900. Application filed September 11, 1900. Serial No. 29,636- LNo model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAMGEORGE MAC- IVY, manufacturer, of l Knox street, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Connected with Oandle-Holders, of which the followingis a specification, and for which I have applied for patent in Great Britain, No. 20,380, dated October 11, 1899.
This invention relates to candlesticks, candle-lamps, candelabra, and chandeliers intended for the use of candles, candle-brackets, and any other candle-holders used for lighting purposes, and has for its object a device for keeping the candle flame or flames of such apparatus practically at a constant level and intensifying the light therefrom.
The reference-letters inserted hereinafter refer to drawings appended hereto, in which the same reference-letters are used in different views of the same or similar parts.
Figures 1 and 2 show central vertical sections of a table-lamp. These sections are taken at right angles to each other, but in Fig. 2 the foot of the lamp is omitted.
Each lighting apparatus according to this invention consists, mainly, of a socket or sockets placed in a vertical position and of a reservoir or one or more reservoirs. The said sockets are referred to as sconces hereinafter. A suitable candle is to be placed into each sconce, so as to emerge therefrom by about half an inch. Some suitable liquid for instance, water-is to be poured into each sconce, so as to fill up any remaining space therein. This liquid, referred to as a candle-bath hereinafter, keeps the candle floating and causes it to rise automatically as it burns 01f. The reservoirs are for storing liquid intended to be in due course automatically supplied to the sconces in order to counteract the sinking of the level of the candlebaths, which is a consequence of the candles rising as aforesaid.
A reservoir may be placed either at a level higher than that of the candle-tops, as exemplified by the reservoir marked it in Fig. 1, or at a lower level, but not lower than a horizontal line about flush with the sconce tops, as exemplified by the pair of reservoirs markedfand g, rcspectively,in Fig. 1. The
shape 'of a reservoir varies with its position,
the object in view being to have the reservoir intercepting as little candle-light as possible and preventing the reservoir from being bulky and too conspicuous. Each reservoir is to be provided with such ventilating-tubes and conduits as are required by the use for which the reservoir is intended.
The candle in each sconce is to be stuck upon a suitable float h, intended to raise the last bit of the burning candle in due course out of its candle-bath and to place it above the sconce-top at about the level the candleflame would occupy if the candle were only half consumed. q
The figures refer to an apparatus with two sconces; but any number of sconces may be fitted to the apparatus.
c and c" are each a sconce. The top of each sconce is wider than its main body in order to prevent the top of the candle from becoming stuck in the event of glittering.
u is a hermetically-sealed reservoir in the shape of a ring, supported by the arms 1) and c, which rise from the upright 11. r The upright '0 consists, as also the arms 1; and o, of tubes of which the central hollows put the inside of the reservoir 14 in communication with the inside of the sconces c and c, partly for purposes of ventilation and partly for conveying liquid from the reservoir to into the sconces, as will be exemplified hereinafter.
The term hermetically sealed as employed above and throughout the specification refers to the normal condition of the reservoir 21. when its only air-vent a) is closed by the tube 1; being submerged in the liquid contents of the sconces.
The arm 1; is provided with a stop-cock a,
to which is fitted the small tube w, which runs within both the arm 2; and the upright 12 down near the bottom of the latter, where the open end of the tube w is intended to supply automatically in due course liquid from the reservoir u to the sconces by way of two apertures b and b.
In addition to the arm 1; and tube to for securing a supply of liquid from the reservoir u to the sconces a tubulure (marked min Fig. 1) provided with a stop cock may be fitted to the reservoir to over each or any sconce, so that this tubulure may drop liquid into the sconce below.
In any case of liquid made to drop ostensibly down into anysconce the drops reach the candle bath between the side wall of the sconce and the candle under the same cir cumstances as the tube to would have supplied liquid to the same sconce in the position which the tube to occupies in Fig. 1.
In the cases of ostensible dropping of liquid the object in view is the display of an intermittent fountain combined with a lamp. In the same cases the liquid in the reservoir 1/.
. may usefully be perfumed.
Any tubulure, like that marked w, may be used at the same time for supporting the chimney close to it.
Across the apertures b and 17 air penetrates under certain circumstances referred to hereinafter and rises through upright 12 and arm o into the region of the reservoir u, above the liquid contained in the latter.
f and g are tube-shaped reservoirs in direct inside communication with the sconces and are intended to lower the sinking rate of the candle-baths.
The apparatus works as follows: The stopcock ea in the arm o and in the tubulures a: being closed, the reservoir to is to be filled with liquid by Way of the funnel z, whereupon the stop-cock fitted to this funnel is to be closed likewise. A suitable candle is then placed into each sconce, and any remaining space Within the sconces, as, also the space Within the reservoirsfand g, is to be filled up with liquid, so as to submerge the apertures b and b. Thereupon the stop-cock a, fitted to the arm 1; or to the tubulures u like that marked 00, as the case may be, may be opened, and the apparatus is ready to be lighted and to work. While the candles are burning the level of each candlebathsinks as the candle therein is consumed, whereby the apertures 12 and I) get clear of the liquid, which so far has submerged them. Oonsequentthereupon air penetrates across the apertures 19 and b, rises into the reservoiru in order to take the place of some liquid which, owing to this supply of air, flows from the reservoir to either through the central hollow of tube or through a tubulure or tubulures like that marked 00, as the case may be, and drops into the sconces until the apertures b and b are again submerged. The last-mentioned event stops any further flow of liquid on the principle of an intermittent fountain. While the candles goon burning the cycle of automatic events just stated repeats itself indefinitely.
The ring shaped reservoir to is provided with a fixed top disk (1, provided with two suitable holes, into which the chimneys s and t are placed. These chimneys rest on the small platform y, fitted between the arms 4) 'andw.
A fringed lamp-shade (indicated in Fig. 1 by dotted lines and marked 6) rests upon the reservoir u and conceals the latter from sight. The concentration of several candles under one lamp-shade intensifies the candle -light. Either the reservoir'tt or the pair of reservoirs fand g may be dispensed with if a less accurate action than that which results from the combination of all of them is preferred-for instance, in order to lessen the cost of construction.
The extensible base (marked Z and m) may be of any usual construction.
Having now particularly described and as certained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is 1. In a candlestick, the combination with a candle-holding tube or sconce, of a hermetically-sealed reservoir communicating with said tube or sconce and means for admitting air to the reservoir to permita flow of its contents to the tube or sconce at intervals, substantially as described.
2. In a candlestick, the combination with a candle-holding tube or sconce, of ahermetically-sealed reservoir communicating with and adapted to supply said tube or sconce with a liquid and means dependent upon the height of liquid contained within tube or sconce for admitting air to the reservoir, substantially as described.
3. In a candlestick, the combination with a candle-holding tube or sconce, containing a liquid,a hermetically-sealed reservoir for supplying the tubes or sconces with liquid, a con necting-tube extending from the reservoir above the level of its liquid contents to the tube or sconce and provided with an opening at the normal level of the liquid in the tube or sconce, substantially as described.
4. In a candlestick, the combination of a candle-holding sconce containing liquid, a hermetically-sealed reservoir for supplying liquid to said sconce, an upright tube having its ends submerged in the contents of the sconce with an opening at the normal level of said contents of the sconce, a tubular arm leading from the upright tube to the reservoir above its liquid contents, and a second tubular arm leading from the reservoir to the upright tube with its lowerend extending within said upright tube to beneath the level of the liquid contents of the sconce, substantially as described.
5. In a candlestick the combination with a pair of candle-holding sconces, an open reservoir in free communication therewith, an upright tube mounted in the reservoir and having an opening on a level with the liquid contents of the reservoir and sconce, a pair of diverging tubular arms projecting from the upright tube, one of which being in communication with said upright tube and the other projecting through said upright tube to beneath the level of the liquid contents of the reservoir, and an annular hermetically-sealed reservoir mounted on the diverging arms and communicating therewith, substantially as described.
6. In a candlestick the combination with a pair of candle-holding sconces, an open reservoir in free communication therewith containing with said sconces a liquid, an upright tube mounted in the reservoir and having an opening on the level with the liquid contents of the reservoir and sconces, a pair of diverging arms projecting from the upright tube, one of which being in communication with said upright tube and the other provided with a valve and projecting through said upright tube to beneath the level of the liquid contents of the reservoir, an annular hermetically-sealed reservoir mounted on the diverging arms and communicating with the first-described arm above the liquid-level of

HEMPSTEAD, New York — Police on Long Island say a driver and a passenger were killed when their vehicle crashed while fleeing police.
It happened in Hempstead at about 4 a.m. Sunday after a highway patrol officer observed a couple arguing in their parked van on Main Street and stopped to investigate.
While the officer was standing outside his vehicle, police say the driver intentionally backed into the patrol car twice and sped away.
Shortly after, police say the van crashed into another vehicle while speeding on Hempstead Turnpike.
Both victims, identified as 23-year-old Eduardo Zapata, of Westbury, and 22-year-old Jackeline Reyes, of Bellmore, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the second vehicle refused medical attention.

Now at level 21 they never get there on time, and instead walk into their bush gank so I try to save them and die (and get called a feeder) or run away (and get called a noob tank).
I'm not the best player, I don't completely suck but I'm not awesome either. Could the matchmaker please give me people of the same skill level on both teams? I'm tired of losing and losing and losing especially when I stomp practice games with level 30s in them.
One of the most important things to learn about playing with terrible people though is don't follow them to "save" them when you know they are doing something that will get them killed.
You won't save them.
Holy Malevolence
Don't. It's a stupid tactic and anyone who's played more than three games on TT will be capable of turning it around on you.
Play Ezreal or Kennen and just poke the enemy team who's probably in there, and get away when they inevitably pop out to try and maim you.

DEFINITION of 'Limit Up'
The maximum amount by which the price of a commodity futures contract may advance in one trading day. Limit up refers to when a futures contract will have a maximum threshold in order to ensure that large unexpected or potentially catastrophic events do not push a contract's price into levels of irrational valuation based upon investor panic or manipulation.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Limit Up'
Think of a limit up as a sort of circuit breaker on a futures contract's price movements. Some markets close trading of these contracts when the limit up is reached; others allow trading to resume if the price moves away from the day's limit. If there is a major event affecting the market's sentiment toward a particular commodity, it may take several trading days before the contract price fully reflects this change. On each trading day, the trading limit will be reached before the market's equilibrium contract price is met.

Slammed: A Novel (edition 2012)

Slammed by Colleen Hoover
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I didn't think all I said about Hopeless would apply to Slammed, too. I mean I was pleasantly surprised about how Hopeless turned out, what were the odds of that happening twice? Well, it did. So now I can officially say that the thing I love the most about Colleen Hoover is that she can take whatever situation that is in fact dramatic and manage not to make it about drama, but to make it about life. It's never about unbearable and unnecessary heartbreaking drama shit that's being shoved down your throat (like it tends to happen with most books on the subject), no: it's always just life, maybe life going downhill, but still life. I think this extract explain it best:
Sometimes, life gets in your way.
It gets all up in your damn way.
But it doesn't get all up in your damn way because it wants you to just give up and let it take control.
Life doesn't get all up in your damn way because it just wants you to hand it all over and be carried along.
Life wants you to fight it.
Learn how to make it your own.
It wants you to grab an axe and hack through the wood.
It wants you to get a sledgehammer and break through the concrete.
It wants you to grab a torch and burn through the metal and steel until you can reach through and grab it.
I loved the fact that there were so many different elements to the story, to the point that at times I felt like the love story – which was supposed to be the main part of the plot – was just one of the elements that completed it, or maybe it's just because I wish there were more scenes between Will and Lake alone.
And I totally loved the slam, it was a very original idea and a very significant way for the characters to portray their emotions (my favorite were Will's slams, all three of them). And I also loved that all the characters were so unique and each of them gave you so much to think about.
LOVED IT! Colleen Hoover is now one of my official favorites! Could not put it down! Love the plot, love the characters and cannot wait for the next one!
A tearjerker. This book should've come with a warning. Tissues are required.
I fell in love with Will on page one! He tries so hard to be a good man it really is impossible not to love him. Lake has it rough too and does so much growing up in the short time we are with them. In short this book was so good and I'm sorry it's taken me so long to read it. 4.5 Stars
This was my first introduction to Colleen Hoover and what a great book it was. Initially I was recommended Slammed but put it aside because I was not interested in reading a book about poetry. If you were like me who initiately thought this book was going to be "meh" you are so wrong. I was blow away by this book and I still remember my reaction to finishing this book and going "wow what just hit me?" Will and Lake will put you in and even their adorable little brothers will make you laugh and cry with them. These two very young adults have to face life and death so soon in their life that you cannot help but root for them to find happiness. If you haven't read anything by this author you need to go start with this book.

Toyota recalls more than 110,000 hybrid cars
Latest recall another blow for auto giant's image.
Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 03:39 AM
RECALLED: The 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid at the 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. (Photo: sarahlarson/Flickr)
Toyota said Wednesday it will recall more than 110,000 hybrid vehicles in the United States, Japan and Europe because of faulty transistors in electrical power control boards.
The U.S. market is the most affected, with the Japanese auto giant recalling 45,500 units of its Highlander Hybrid and 36,700 Lexus RX 400h vehicles due to "inadequate soldering."
Toyota said certain transistors could be damaged from heat caused by a large current flow during high-load driving due to the defect.
In most cases the vehicle will enter a fail-safe driving mode, resulting in reduced power in which the vehicle can still be driven for short distances. In the worst case the vehicle could stop, Toyota said.
Roughly 3,000 of the same vehicles are also being recalled in Canada, a Toyota spokeswoman told AFP. Toyota is also recalling 11,164 of the same vehicles in Japan for the same defect.
In Europe, the recall will cover roughly 15,000 vehicles, the spokeswoman said. Toyota said it is "working on" obtaining replacement parts and will notify owners when available.
The latest global recall is a another blow for the company struggling to restore its reputation as a quality automaker, having recalled millions of vehicles since 2009 over safety defects and paid U.S. authorities nearly $50 million in penalties.
Toyota earlier this month also had to recall some 139,000 vehicles globally, including 106,000 first-generation Prius hybrid vehicles, because of a problem with the steering system.
Ratings agency Moody's on Tuesday said it had downgraded Toyota and its affiliates by one notch to Aa3, citing concerns for its profitability against a strong yen and materials costs.
It said the ratings remain on review for possible further downgrade.
Toyota had said it expected net profit in this fiscal year to drop 31 percent on-year to $3.5 billion on a strong yen and the effect on production of the March earthquake and tsunami.
The company expects to stage a recovery in the second half as supply problems caused by the earthquake fade.

Paris Hilton Testifies About Googling Paris Hiltonby Free Britney at . Comments
Paris Hilton is not smart.
Not exactly breaking news, but wait until you hear this latest evidence.
The 28-year-old ho-tel heiress is being sued for $8 million for failing to promote her 2006 comedy, Pledge This! At a pre-trial hearing in Miami on Thursday, Hilton was grilled by attorneys on whether keeps a diary for business meetings.
"I just press my name and Google it and see," was her response.
Asked by lawyers about receiving calls from producers, the socialite and new Guess model replied: "With my cellphone, I never know, because I lose it all the time ... I probably get a new cellphone, like, every two weeks."
Don't we all. The technology is always improving!
When shown a copy of her cell phone bill by a lawyer and asked if was indeed hers, Paris Hilton replied: "I've never seen a phone bill of mine in my life."
Doug Reinhardt is not dating her for her brains, looks or personality, people.
Asked what her responsibilities were as executive producer, she said, "I'm not sure what a producer does, but - I don't know, help get cool people in the cast?"
Hilton, who also revealed that she earns at least $11 million a year, thus disproving any alleged link between wealth and intelligence, claims she adequately honored her deal to promote the film by plugging it around the clock.
"Any chance I got, any red carpet, any press, even if I was doing something for another product... I would just bring it up, 'Oh, my new sorority film, it is going to be sexy, it's going to be really hot girls,'" Hilton testified.
"Like, I really, you know, did my best."
Like, we're sure you did. We Googled it, even.
A lawyer for Hilton, Michael Weinstein, said investors made unreasonable, last-minute demands for publicity events because the heiress' schedule is always fully booked, arguing: "She's the single busiest person on the planet."
Um...if she is so busy, why are there always pictures of her with her boyfriend traveling the globe, partying and even renting hotel rooms so that she can play dress up and stand out on the balcony for the paps to take her pic. Lauren Bacall is totally right when she says that Hollywood is full of useless no talent individuals. Google this Paris...U SUCK AND ARE THE ZSA ZSA GABOR OF THIS GENERATION.
Who is going to believe that Paris failed to promote something with her name in it.
SHe is the queen of promotion. It's just a bunch of bankruptcy lawyers trying to shake her down for $$$$ as usual. But it's not Paris Hilton's fault the guy let his company go belly up.

Posted by Unknown on 1st Jun 2014
I applied MAG-I-CAL on my lawn on April 19, 2014 for the first time along with Love Your Lawn - Love Your Soil. I must say - my lawn looks the best it has ever looked. I was preparing the lawn for a spring seeding which I did the following week. Since my lawn wasn't in horrible shape I figured my soil pH wasn't too bad so I didn't bother testing which I know is recommended. I really like Jonathan Green's approach to lawn care which starts by creating ideal conditions in the soil. Now, my lawn is beautifully dark-green in color and growing steadily.

Legislative framework for mining in SABack
Mangaung|SECURITY|Africa|Environment|Housing|Resources|Security|System|Webber Wentzel Peter Leon|Africa|Botswana|South Africa|Security|Building|Energy|Energy Constraints|Law|Manufacturing|Mining|Security|Infrastructure|Power|Security

According to the plan, South Africa can realise these goals by drawing on the energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building capabilities, enhancing the capacity of the State, and promoting leadership as well as partnerships in society.
Head of Africa mining and energy at law firm Webber Wentzel Peter Leon says the legislative framework for mining is a key factor that can potentially lead to a more equal South Africa in the future.
"South Africa needs a regulatory system that is objective and transparent, which imposes time limits on decision-making and doesn't create uncertainty," explains Leon.
"The NDP dealt directly with [the] lack of regulatory certainty and predictability that has characterised the industry. I believe this is a strong message to government to fix the current minerals regulatory system. The NDP recognises weaknesses in the system, such as the infrastructure and energy constraints facing South Africa, which have a negative impact on the mining sector," he states.
He says that the NDP's release six weeks after the ruling African National Congress's (ANC's) policy conference makes it clear that there is an obvious dissonance between the outcomes of the policy conference and the NDP.
Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act
Leon notes that there are long-standing proposals to amend the key provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) to improve the legislative environment for mining. He believes that the inclusion of a more objective regulatory system, in which the requirements to obtain a prospecting or mining right are clearly set out in legislation, is key.
"There should be no backdoor discretion, as well as limited room for administrative discretion and all the problems associated with this, such as the regulatory delays we have seen in the past," he notes.
Leon emphasises the need for mandatory time limits on the making of decisions.
"One of the problems that has bedevilled the Act since it came into force in 2004 is licensing delays, which we see regularly with regard to the MPRDA.
"If we move to a model similar to that of the Competition Act, where the regulator, which in this case is the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), would have to make decisions within a specified time, this would go a long way towards addressing many of the problems that we are tackling.
"This also needs to be coupled with a change to the architecture of the Act. We should move to a system more akin to that of Botswana, in which the objectives for licences are set out clearly in the law and it simply becomes a question of whether the applicant, the mining company or the prospecting company is qualified to obtain the licence," Leon explains.
A real concern in the industry is the ongoing discussion regarding these amendments.
"There was a clear undertaking last year by the Minister of Mineral Resources to introduce the necessary amendments to Parliament in the 2011 session. That was slightly delayed, but the Amendment Bill was expected in the August 2011 session of Parliament, which again has not happened," notes Leon.
He believes, however, that the amendments have indeed been drafted by the DMR and it is simply a matter of time before they are introduced to Parliament and subjected to public comment.
Leon suspects the amendments have been delayed for political reasons and that the Amendment Bill will only be introduced to Parliament next year, after the ANC's elective conference in Mangaung in December.
Meanwhile, Leon states that the mining industry growth and development task team (Migdett) was reactivated two-and-a-half years ago. He feels that it has led to increased support between government, labour and business.
"The situation we had before, where the Department of Mineral Resources would suddenly spring a regulatory surprise on the mining industry, no longer occurs. The controversial codes of good practice, released in April 2009, which were ostensibly aimed at ending uncertainty about empowerment transactions, is a good example of this.
"In the past, the industry had no warning about which changes or new regulations would be implemented and they were sometimes promulgated by the previous Minister a day before the statutory power expired," he explains. Both the codes of good practice and the housing and living conditions standards are good examples of this, he notes.
Leon says that there is a more cooper-ative tripartite approach through Migdett.
"I think Migdett is certainly a step forward. How effective it actually is, however, remains to be seen," he says.
Strategic Minerals
Meanwhile, the ANC's 'State Intervention in the Mining Sector' (Sims) report, which was released in February, states that although full-scale nationalisation of the mines is not an option government wishes to explore, it does focus in great detail on the need to declare certain minerals strategic and suggests the imposition of certain regulatory require- ments pertaining to these strategic minerals.
"According to Sims, minerals that are exported will be subjected to some form of export duty and there will be a com-pulsory supply agreement for the local industry on a cost-plus basis," he explains.
Leon says this was discussed at the ruling party's policy conference in June, but the conference made no clear decision either way about Sims or nationalisation itself.
He explains that there are two reasons for government wanting to declare certain minerals strategic – concerns about energy security and a notion that more needs to be done in terms of downstream manufacturing and industrialisation. "The government believes that the mining industry has not sufficiently come to the party on these issues," he concludes, "although it really must be questioned whether mining companies can be involved in downstream manufacturing."

G-Unit leader 50 Cent recently spoke on the motivation behind his new LP-based War Angel mixtape and explained why rappers should return to hardcore hip-hop.
Fif said critics of his rhymes in the past forced him to tone down his lyrics.
"This one was exciting for me," Fif said about his mixtape. "I have [writing] spurts. Like when I did [the original version of] The Massacre. I recorded the album in three days. It was like this [with War Angel]: two-verse songs. No third verse is on these records…It's a cycle, creatively…It was a lot of soft music, a lot of lighthearted music, then DMX came out. Then it was like, 'That's what I'm talking about.' 'Get at Me Dog,' it was that material that had that energy around it, then it got all lighthearted and soft all over again. Then there was 50 Cent, and that went on for five years." (MTV)
50 recently spoke on his lack of motivation in today's hip-hop climate.
"What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away," he explained in an interview. "I'd like to be a representation of that, because there isn't much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they're not being creative anymore." (Billboard)
Fif's new mixtape reportedly takes aim at a specific rap target.
"Somebody's always gotta be buried," Whoo Kid told radio personality Jenny Boom Boom referring to the mixtape's 'Prepare For Total Destruction' cover warning. "I'm just gonna let everybody get ready. What you do is figure out who's still relevant, who's still rapping…It's definitely not Eminem, but have your fans call up and think who we should bury. It's kinda obvious. The fans know. Don't spoil it for all the people out there, I mean, but you know Lil Wayne always cops a plea. He has his daddy, always calls up and talks for him states that Lil Wayne doesn't have time for beef he's more worried about money and pills and rock music. He's not really worried about beef and stuff like that. And the chick that handles his weave, you know, he's worried about his hair right now. Shout-out to the police officer, Rick Ross." (Jenny Boom Boom TV)
Slim Thug also recently said the rap game has changed within the past few years.
"I'm really just out there like not giving a f*ck.," Slim explained in an interview. "So it's gonna be hard for me to find a decent single that could actually go on the radio. Sh*t like Jay-Z's "D.O.A" sh*t, I feel him on that. N*ggas is too soft right now. It's all about the girls. It ain't used to be like that. It used to be about everything else, the streets. And that's what it's about with me. I'm just trying to keep that sh*t alive." (Vibe)

It's all in the profile
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 04-25-2010 - 12:09pm
Many posters who are new to OLD often ask advice about what to write in their profiles and what to comment on when they read others' profiles for the first
|Sun, 04-25-2010 - 2:26pm
While profiles might be okay as far as determining initial general interest, I think too much emphasis is placed on profiles.
|Sun, 04-25-2010 - 5:00pm
I look for common--or at least compatible--interests. For instance, someone who loves camping, watches lots of sports, loves country music and riding his dirt bike won't be a good fit for me.
I think most people don't express themselves well in writing. I do try to look past that, but it's hard for me when a man can't string a sentence together. I'll admit it: I want a man who at least has a BA degree or the equivalent life-learning. I'm so tired of profiles that say "I'm an honest, sincere guy," or "easy-going laid back" or "I like to go out or stay in". I've read so many generic profiles. I don't feel like a man has to go overboard to impress in his profile--in fact, I think bragging is a huge turn-off--but I'd like him to be specific. If he likes to read, I'd like to know what sorts of things he likes reading, otherwise it's just generic. But I think that everyone looks for different things in a profile.
And while it is true people can and do lie in their profiles, I think most people merely exaggerate. And yes, you can't really know what someone is like until you meet, but I think you can weed out the ones that definitely don't fit. And, of course there is the all-important photo(s). If a man's appearance turns me off, it's going to be mighty hard for me to want to meet him. I'm not talking about someone who looks average, I'm talking beer gut and grizzled beard, wearing a wife-beater.
So, when a man contacts me, I would like him to have read my profile and to comment on something in it--it doesn't have to be a lengthy email, just let me know what you found interesting enough to write to me. I will say, I have an excellent, well-crafted profile (hey, I've had 2.5 years to refine it!) and my photos are accurate and good. In other words, I think I've painted a very accurate picture of myself, so it mystifies me when a man contacts me and we have absolutely NOTHING in common, in fact, we are from different planets. And yes, opposites can attract, but it's more usual for like to be with like. And just because you have things in common doesn't mean you will be able to form a relationship with this person, but at least you'll have a starting point and hopefully you'll have something to talk about at the first meeting.
|Mon, 04-26-2010 - 11:03am
I agree w/ floridagirl that you can immediately weed out some people because they have really diverse interests. For ex, if someone mentions that they are an avid skier, then I wouldn't bother because I don't ski and I know it would be a conflict w/ what to do in the winter. But if someone said he was a sports fan who liked the same teams I do, then it would be a positive since I like watching sports. I also appreciate someone who has a good sense of humor that comes across in the profile, but it's really hard to do that.
Personally I find it hard to write my own profile since I'm not that funny or creative, but I can at least write full sentences.
|Mon, 04-26-2010 - 2:17pm
If you are talking about YOUR profile (i.e. a woman) then that's one thing.
|Thu, 05-06-2010 - 4:31pm
Men are more concerned with your photos, so always have a current headshot and full length shot; otherwise you risk being rejected when you meet in person. You'd think it would be common sense but both sexes post old, blurry photos that look nothing like they do now.
I enjoy a well written profile because it shows someone's level of intelligence. I like a man with a brain. However, I've dated men with rather generic profiles. I believe in Fate and something told me to get to know these guys in more detail before making up my mind.

dRIVING FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL
|Sun, 05-09-2010 - 1:58pm
I had a GREAT date last night with a guy who had HORRIBLE pictures. He looked old, and tired, and humorless and insecure. So when Randy contacted me, I told him he was so focused on motorsports that I was sure we didn't have anything in common. He emailed back, sooooo polite and persistent and pointed out that he was about much more than race cars...it was just a current interest he was excited about.
So I half heartedly acknowledged him and emailed back. I had been emailing with another guy I was much more interested in. But that guy was going out of town this weekend, so I half heartedly made a date to meet Randy for a drink. He was handsome, intelligent, attentive, polite and he made my heart go pitter patter. Drink led to dinner, which lasted 4 hours, and the waiter practically begged us to leave, so went to a pool hall and played pool for an hour and a half. At 11:30 he drove me back to the resturant and we talked a bit more, then I finally broke down and asked him to kiss me which he happily complied.
I can't wait to see him again and it is clear that we are both completely smitten. (yes, I will proceed responsibly)
I looked at his profile again today...there was nothing particularly bad about what he wrote, but my first impressions of his pictures still stand: They are still terrible. I hid my profile.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Hamas on Monday accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal meant to halt a bruising monthlong war that has claimed nearly 2,000 lives, raising hopes that the bloodiest round of fighting between the bitter enemies could finally be coming to an end.
Israel, Hamas accept Egyptian cease-fire plan
Still, both sides signaled a rough road ahead, with an Israeli official expressing skepticism given previous failures, and a Palestinian negotiator saying "it's going to be tough."
A last-minute burst of violence, including a deadly Palestinian attack in Jerusalem, continued bloodshed in Gaza and the reported execution of a number of suspected collaborators with Israel, served as reminders of the lingering risk of renewed violence.
After weeks of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, and a previous truce that collapsed within hours on Friday, Israel and Hamas both announced late Monday that they had accepted the proposal for a preliminary 72-hour cease-fire, beginning at 8 a.m. (0500 GMT) Tuesday. Egypt was then set to host indirect talks to work out a long-term truce over the next three days.
"At 8 a.m. local time tomorrow a cease-fire starts and Israel will cease all military operations against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip," said Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev. "Israel will honor the cease-fire and will be watching to see if Hamas does, too."
The war broke out on July 8 when Israel launched an air offensive in response to weeks of heavy rocket fire out of Hamas-controlled Gaza. It expanded the operation on July 17 by sending in ground forces in what it described as a mission to destroy a network of tunnels used to stage attacks. Israel says the last of the tunnels has nearly been destroyed.
The war has taken nearly 1,900 Palestinian lives, most of them civilians caught in fighting inside Gaza's crowded urban landscape, according to Hamas medical officials. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have also died, as well as two Israeli civilians and a Thai laborer who worked in Israel. The heavy death toll has eclipsed that of previous rounds of fighting in 2009 and 2012.
A delegation of Palestinian officials from various factions, including Hamas, has been negotiating with Egypt in recent days. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the group had accepted the plan.
"It's clear now that the interest of all parties is to have a cease-fire," said Bassam Salhi, a member of the Palestinian delegation. "It's going to be tough negotiations because Israel has demands too. We don't have any guarantees the siege will be removed."
State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki late Monday said the U.S. strongly supports the latest cease-fire proposal and urges "both parties to respect it completely." A spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he urged the parties to begin talks as soon as possible in Cairo on a durable cease-fire "and the underlying issues."
Hamas is seeking a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, an end to an Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the territory, the release of Hamas prisoners held by Israel and international assistance in the reconstruction of Gaza.
Israel says the blockade is needed to prevent Hamas, an Islamic militant group sworn to its destruction, from arming. But the Palestinians and members of the international community have criticized the blockade as collective punishment. The blockade, known to the Palestinians as "the siege," has ground Gaza's economy to a standstill.
Israel has demanded that Gaza become "demilitarized," requiring the unlikely cooperation of Hamas in giving up its significant arsenal.
"We will be putting first on our agenda preventing Hamas from rearming," Regev said. "Ultimately the Palestinians have a written commitment that Gaza should be demilitarized and it's time the international community held them to that commitment."

Ruane Maurice review
This recap of One Stop Shop '09 is courtesy of Melanie J. Cornish at Critical Marketing.
Next up is Nola Darling rocking "That Nola D" remix.
This video is a deeper look into M.O.P. just before their new album hits this summer.
This is a look at up-and-coming rap group Hearn Boiz.
Here's Scratch talking about his new album "Loss 4 Wordz."
Here's Masspike Miles with "The Pursuit."
Last but not least is Tanya Morgan's "What Is Brooklynati?" video.
Cavalier is the type of artist who is impossible to sum up in just one sentence, or even one paragraph. To call him just an emcee would be shortchanging him. To say he's trying to make a difference almost marginalizes the actions he's taken and continues to take. A lifelong Brooklyn-ite, Cavalier says he remembers a time when "you only lived in Williamsburg if you were Puerto Rican or Hasidic," adding "I was living in Crown Heights during the riots but before Japanese take-out." His debut record, The Breaking, gave him a nice buzz despite a small press run and his free downloadable mixtape, MC Killa, has helped him to continue to grow his fan base. This week I sat down with Cavalier to find out more about his work, his thoughts on Brooklyn's changes throughout the years, and the interesting way in which he's been compared to 18th century revolutionary Thomas Paine.

A few years ago there was a terrible series of anti-drug commercials that claimed marijuana was a "gateway drug." The inference was if you smoked marijuana, you'd be more easily influenced to do heroin or crack. While most people laughed this off — as they should have — I think we have a very real and powerful gateway drug that's being passed around to kids today, and it's actually a potentially positive thing. That drug is pop-rap and it's the gateway to real hip-hop.Read the full story at FairfieldWeekly.com.

Review by Steve 'Flash' Juon Artist: Sniper f/ Akon, Illestr8 Title: In Yo Life Label: Future Green Entertainment
Being backed by hip-hop heavyweight DJ Green Lantern is a plus. Having Akon singing your hook is also a plus. Not being able to tell the difference between the song's alleged star and the featured guest - that's a minus. I'm assuming the first verse is by Sniper just because the song's filename is credited to him, but that's all I have to go on. This would ultimately be another minus because if that's Illestr8 on the second verse, he gets outshined by his guest star. The most frustrating part of this is that a reggae chatta seems to begin the third verse only to be prematurely cut off by an announcement for the title of Lantern's latest mixtape "The Scope's On You Volume 2." Lovely. The beat is a tolerably bouncy affair but much like Sniper himself just doesn't stand out in a crowded field. This song is best served ON a mixtape because as a single it's got almost no chance to advance.
Review by Steve 'Flash' Juon Artist: Lil Haze f/ Ray J Title: Work That Body Label: Birmingham Entertainment
So far best known for his friendship with (and a single featuring) the Ying Yang Twins, Lil Haze clearly wants to blow a much bigger cloud of smoke on "Work That Body." From reading a few interviews Haze did the beat here may be by a producer named Ole Tyma, but if it turns out I'm wrong feel free to send me a correction. Whoever produced "Work That Body" deserved the credit they were due for giving newcomer Haze a pleasant R&B crossover beat that reminds me of Plies "Put It on Ya" in the track's power to take the rapper up the crossover charts. As for actual vocal tone and delivery, think Lil Wayne and you'll come pretty close to nailing Haze's style. Ray J provides fair support on the hook even though he's never been a favorite crooner of mine - let's just say he doesn't fuck up the good thing Haze has going. "I see you're kinda shy, so I'ma be nice/You're lookin sweeter than pie so I'ma get a lil' slice." Well Haze isn't profound lyrically, but he isn't making me cringe here, so "Work That Body" may just be one of those rare gestalt tracks that is more than the sum of its parts.

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday the West's influence was waning as its economy declines but warned Russian diplomats to be on their guard against a backlash from Moscow's former Cold War enemies.In a biennial speech to Russian ambassadors, Putin also took a shot at the West by condemning any unilateral actions to solve international disputes and underlined the importance of resolving such conflicts through the United Nations.His remarks suggested that Russia, a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, would keep on defending ally Syria at the United Nations over its military crackdown on an popular uprising that has evolved into an armed insurgency."Domestic socio-economic problems that have become worse in industrialized countries as a result of the (economic) crisis are weakening the dominant role of the so-called historical West," Putin told a meeting of Russian ambassadors from across the world.

Livescribe Sky WiFi Smartpen Records Notes and Audio, Sends It to the Cloud (video)
In our every growing digital world, it's no surprise that we have a hard time keeping track of our written notes and just about anything paper oriented. While the LiveScribe Sky WiFi Smartpen won't be able to keep tabs on your paperback books, it will help you organize all of your hand written notes along with audio in one succinct manner.
What separates the Sky WiFi Smartpen from other transcribing pens of this ilk, is its ability to record audio simultaneously. Useful if you attend meetings and would like to jog your memory as to why you drew a monkey and not a gorilla during your weekly meeting – just simply tap on the portion of the drawing and the audio playback will skip back to that point.
The Sky WiFi Smartpen will come in three sizes (2GB, 4GB, 8GB), though all transcriptions are automatically sent to Evernote, a OCR app that now boasts 40 million users. So what's that storage for? All of your audio recordings. The 2GB version stores 200 hours, the 4GB 400 hours, and the 8GB 800 hours; 100 hours for each GB of storage. Pricing starts at $170 for the smallest of the pens, and tops out at $250 – the highest end model includes a 1-year subscription to Evernote Premium, a $45 value.
The Livescribe pen includes a built-in OLED screen to display battery life, the time, and the WiFi connection. A Livescribe specific notepad is required, and includes a set of faux buttons to star/stop recordings, as well as setup the local WiFi connection. Each Livescribe Notepad ranges in price from $12 to $25.
Starting sometime next year you'll be able to send notes directly to Dropbox, Facebook, and Google Drive. However, all models of Livescribe's Sky WiFi Smartpen are available now, with the 8GB premium pack exclusively available at Best Buy.
