While I love to write, writing about myself in a serious manner has proven to be too tough a task for me in the past. It has also been brought to my attention that men prefer to read things that are short and to the point. So I have decided to make a bulleted list of things a potential mate should know about me. • I have a positive outlook on life • I believe that everything happens for a reason and even tragedy can propagate good • I know how to use big words but don't use them superfluously • The parking fairy loves me and that's why I always find a space in front • The State Patrol loves me and that's why I have so many speeding tickets • I love learning about people's lives and what brought them to where they are • I put on my make up while I'm driving • No one ever wants me to drive • I am very strong but I wish I didn't always have to be • I love take charge men as long as they aren't charging in the wrong direction • I admire well educated people • If I didn't have GPS, I would never find my way anywhere • I am blessed with three adult boys who are very smart, talented, successful and handsome • My kids make me a better person • I have lived in Atlanta; Memphis; New York; Israel • I live in Buckhead • My favorite city is Positano • I love to cook and people seem to love to eat what I cook • I received my official notice that I am going to win the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes...

i'd like someone to explain to me why my clothes are all sticky. including my fanny pack. yes, this is a mass text.
after he handcuffed me and put me in the back seat, "Mrs. Officer" started playing, I thought maybe this could be my escape
He told us that was the only place he could get service when we found him in the closet passed out with a beer
I kept telling myself all night that it was completely okay for me to lose all sense of my morals because it was my birthday.
There is something about weddings and lines being done off my ass
She wore that goddamn strap-on all night. When she was playing guitar hero it kept getting in the way but she just wouldn't take it off.
Waking up in a pool chair wrapped in toilet paper is not what I planned when I agreed to movie night
What I love about college? The kid tripping balls has a kayak made readily available to him on any given Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Seriously, come get him. He's not even a person anymore. He's a loud, drunk, cock-blocking wrecking ball.
Did u see the proverb she left as a comment on my picture?
Apparently getting dressed is an all-day activity.
At one point, he came in to give her a pep talk, and then after he left, she just kept whispering his name into the toilet between heaves.
There are two women in my bed. I'm gonna have a bowl of noodles so I can better understand my success.
Can you stop being a bitch and just take some Kaluha shots with me bro?!?

Aim and shoot the enemies by moving the mouse.
Update your health after every level.
Edited on 14 Aug2009: the game ends when the health is zero.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
It's almost there...
This is a good concept, and it seems sound coding.
You just need to work on the sound, animation and graphics.
Rated 0 / 5 stars
Not working?
Not sure what happened, but my health bar ran out and I was still going. Maybe you need to take another look. Nonetheless, this game doesn't seem to be complete.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
cheap knockoff
this is obviously a badly done remake of another game matter of fact its on newgrounds! so i suggest redoing it .
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
Not very good
The graphics look like they were drawn in microsoft paint by an average Joe, and the animations were almost non-existent. There was the train moving, the bullets moving, and that was it.
The enemies (which all looked like nothing other than small dots), never moved and never had any variety. You can earn money to buy health upgrades (And nothing else), but there is no penalty for losing health, so there seems to be no point in getting the upgrades.
All of the levels are identical, and since there are no large upgrades or future leve to strive for, I really don't see the point of the game.

7% fall in university acceptances
The number of students already accepted on to university courses has dropped by almost 7%, official figures show.
As of midnight, a total of 357,915 applicants had had their places confirmed, down from 384,649 at the same point in 2011 - a fall of 6.95%.
The figures, which come on the day that students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland receive their A-level results, also show that around 79,000 UK applicants are still awaiting decisions, and that more than 10,000 people have already applied for places through clearing.
Mary Curnock Cook, chief executive of university admissions service Ucas, said: "More than 300,000 applicants whose places are dependent on their grades are waiting to hear if they have been accepted today.
"Despite the fall in applications this year, entry to higher education remains competitive and we expect to see an active clearing period."
More than 25,000 courses currently have vacancies for UK applicants. Last year, more than 50,000 people got a place at university through clearing.
Ms Curnock Cook went on: "It is important that all students research course requirements thoroughly and think carefully before making a decision that is likely to affect their future career.
"Anyone considering applying again next year can research 2013 courses on our website now."
Universities Minister David Willetts said the number of students going into higher education would be broadly comparable to previous years.
"There is long-term trend for more and more people to aspire to go to university and for more and more employers to look to employ people with higher education qualifications and I personally don't think, taking the long view, that trend has suddenly stopped," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"What we are seeing at the moment is there has actually been a slight decline in the number of 18-year-olds - there is a slight shrinkage in the size of that cohort - so what we are doing is we are maintaining university places broadly flat.
"There are going to be about 350,000 places in English universities this year which is comparable to the last few years."
Speaking at the UCAS call centre in Cheltenham Mr Willetts said he was not worried by the 7% drop in the number of students that have been accepted onto their university course compared to the same time last year.
"We'll have to see how things pan out during the day, but my understanding is that we've got almost 300,000 prospective students who have now had their places confirmed and I think that is great progress for this time in the day," he said.
"We will have to see how things develop, but we're optimistic that the system will work in the way that it will and that through clearing perhaps people that haven't necessarily got their university first choice are still able to secure a place."
He also insisted that despite this year's dip in applications the number of 18 year olds applying to go to university was at its second highest level.
"The very big factor (in the drop of applications) is the decline in the number of 18 year olds, because the number of young people is declining because of a fall in the birth rate about 20 years ago.
"When you look behind that, you see that the rate of applications amongst 18 years olds - the crucial group leaving school or college - is its second highest level ever and today here, after all those stories last week about people who weren't applying, I'm afraid the reality today is we are being reminded that getting to university is a competitive process, where there are still more applicants than there are places."
Reacting to fears bright students may miss out on a place at university following changes to the admissions process Mr Willetts said he was confident the clearing process would find places for most students hoping to go to university.
He said: "We will see how the system works out during the day, the clearing system is in place to help people who haven't got the grades that they hoped for and I very much hope that today we will see the UCAS clearing system come into its own and the people who haven't got the grades they were hoping for getting their places in that way."
He added the figures would be analysed by the government and by UCAS but it was too early to say if the changes had affected the number of students getting places at the university of their choice.
"I think that our reforms are going to put more power in the hands of students and of course for those who got AAB or better, now those controls have gone, they can go to the university of their choice, of course subject to the university's own capacity, beyond that it is basically the usual system that we are familiar with clearing there to help people," he added.
Concerns had been raised that changes to university admissions would mean that some students who were predicted to score two As and a B, but just fell short, would struggle to gain a place.
Under a new system, there is now no limit on the numbers of students with two As and a B at A-level that universities can recruit.
But it means universities are likely to have less flexibility to admit students who just miss this standard, as there is still a strict cap on those who score less than AAB.
Cathy Gilbert, Ucas director of customer strategy, said it was too early to say if this was having an effect on the number of teenagers getting into their university of choice and on the clearing process.
"We haven't seen that starting to have an effect," she said.
"I think because today is really about the individual, so it's about the individual student making the right decision for them, irrespective of what is going on across the sector, and that's really where Ucas plays a role today, making sure they have that individual advice and guidance."
The call centre in Cheltenham has around 50 people answering phones between 7am and 7pm along with a team of people answering questions on social media sites. A further 100 trained advisers are based in Liverpool.
Mrs Gilbert said: "The call centre is busy, lots of people have been asking for information and advice now they have got their results.
"What we would say is there's a lot of people who have got the result that they wanted and are going to the university of their choice, and for them real congratulations, they should be going out and celebrating, but there will be people who either haven't got the results they quite wanted or who are wondering whether they made the right choice, so the call centre is taking calls from them to give them advice.
"We're also getting a lot of activity across our social media, a real peak in that this year has been people tweeting their questions to us and lots of hits on ucas.com as well, so lots of different places where people are getting advice from us."
She added that the number of people using social media websites to contact advisers has seen a rise from the same time last year.
"It's a real success story this year, we've worked hard all year on the channels to make sure that we have a range of places were applicants can access us when they need help and advice," Mrs Gilbert said.
"Not everybody wants to pick the phone up and some people have very simple questions that respond really well through Twitter and if it is more complex then we will refer them to the call centre to have a longer conversation.
"The key thing for a student who doesn't quite get the grades they hoped for is don't panic, it's a really important decision and it's really important that they get the right advice at the moment, so they need to really think about the course they want to study on, the sort of university they want to attend and also the sort of career they wanted at the end, so we're here to give them access to that information so they can make that rounded decision today."

The public offering price of the Company's common stock and the interest rate, conversion rate, and other terms of the convertible senior notes will be determined, based on market conditions, at the time of the pricing of the Offerings. The Offerings are subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether the Offerings will be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offerings.

April 11, 2014 10:32:34 AM
The Mississippi Supreme Court denied a review of Joshua Buckner's 2009 drunken driving case in which he pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated DUI and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.
Eight of the court's nine justices denied his writ of certiorari on April 3 after counsel argued the multiple convictions created a double jeopardy situation. The denial was filed by the court clerk Thursday.
Buckner was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2009 after admitting to driving under the influence. Online court records show an appeals process began in 2012. The court affirmed the previous decision a year later.
On April 26, 2008, Buckner left a party with three passengers -- Charlsey Collins, David Wilkerson Jr. and Joanna Morgan -- to purchase cigarettes, he testified that year in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court. He crashed his Jeep into a light pole located on Mississippi State University's campus.
Wilkerson and Morgan were seriously injured, The Dispatch previously reported, and Collins was later pronounced dead at OCH Regional Medical Center.
A MSU detective testified Buckner left the scene of the accident, cut through a wooded area and returned to the party. There, he changed clothes, attempted to disguise the smell of alcohol with mints, and told party-goers he wrecked his vehicle, an assistant district attorney said in 2009, but made no mention of the injured passengers.
Three hours after the wreck, Buckner's blood alcohol level was measured at .11, according to testimony.
Buckner and Collins had been friends since the sixth grade, he testified.
"I was just so scared. I didn't know how to react in a situation like that," he said in 2009.
Buckner was released from the Mississippi Department of Corrections' Regimented Inmate Discipline Program -- he was previously charged with identity theft -- eight days prior to the 2008 accident, The Dispatch previously reported.

Captain Jack Sparrow is once again riding the high seas. The fifth Pirates of the Caribbean is now filming in Australia, far, far away from the actual Caribbean.
In announcing the formal kickoff to production, Disney also revealed the bones of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales story.
The reigning champ of the genre recently provided some unexpected advice on how to make a great sports movie.
"If you want to make a great sports movie, don't put too much sports in it," advised Kevin Costner. "It's the backdrop. It's the – it's the environment, and you know Bull Durham was about men and women, why they can and can't get along and have to still be together."
The backdrop of Costner's latest, McFarland, USA, is cross-country running. A contribution to that oh-so American genre, the feel-good sports movie, McFarland, USA is based on a true story from the titular town in 1987, where a new coach helped a team of high school runners from California's poorest school become big winners both on the track and off.
Two-time Academy Award-winner Costner stars as Coach White, a temperamental football coach who is initially despondent to find himself in a Central Valley agricultural community populated overwhelmingly by Mexican Americans.
His students aren't too thrilled at first, either, but before long, Coach White (whom they refer to as Coach Blanco) sees that the strength and stamina they've built up over years toiling in the fields can be channeled successfully into running. As White and the seven scrappy underdogs on his team go an unlikely journey to the state championships, they also grow to understand and care about each like family.
Almost thirty years after the real story, McFarland, USA is set to hit theaters this Friday, February 20th.
Neill Blomkamp kicked up a lot of digital dust talking like he's going to direct that Alien sequel with Sigourney Weaver last week, but the writer-director has an original slice of scifi coming up before he does/doesn't dance with a xenomorph.
It's Chappie.
What's Chappie? Five new TV spots spell out just what Chappie is pretty clearly, and it's very much in line with Blomkamp's previous efforts, District 9 and Elysium.
Sometimes, what's on the stereo is just as important as what's under the hood.
Atlantic Records has announced details on the Furious 7 soundtrack, unveiling release details, a music video, and a full track listing for the album featuring T.I., Mos Def, Young Thug, Iggy Azalea, Flo Rida, Sevyn Streeter, Price Royce, Juicy J, and many more.
That's not all, either, because you can also watch the music video for "Ride Out" by Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, YG, and Rich Homie Quan then listen to "Go Hard or Go Home" by Wiz Khalifa and Azalea, who actually has a cameo in the sequel.
It's only good manners to begin with a huge, mega-SPOILER warning for Kingsman: The Secret Service. If you haven't seen Matthew Vaughn's slick, willfully provocative riff on the spy genre, then go see it and check back, because this whole discussion is built on a foundation of SPOILERS.
SPOILER warning out of the way, let's proceed, shall we?
One of The Avengers' sundry accomplishments was its approach to the Emerald Avenger. After two whiffs, it was the first movie to actually get Hulk right, so much so that the fearsome smashmonster and his scientific alter-ego pretty much stole the whole movie.
Whilst the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been up to their thighs in adventure since, audiences have to wait until this May's Avengers: Age of Ultron to see Dr. Bruce Banner letting his anger out again.
In a new interview, Mark Ruffalo is talking about what we can expect from the Gamma-irradiated beast in Joss Whedon's sequel, including his role on the team, who designed the contingency plan for when Hulk goes off the reservation, and working with Andy Serkis on new and improved motion-capture for the character.
Of course, Ruffalo also provides a few hints as to what Marvel has in store for Hulk beyond Age of Ultron, acknowledging that a solo Hulk movie is "a tough nut to crack."
Ethan Hunt's mission, which he's already chosen to accept, is to engage in his usual action hero derring-do and aerial insanity on jumbo-sized IMAX screens this summer.
Yes, that's right, Mission: Impossible 5 is set to hit the extra large format this July.
Actor/comedian Chris Elliott has consistently been one of the funniest people on television and film over the last 30 years!
Elliott first came to fame in the early '80s for playing a barrage of unique characters on Late Night with David Letterman. Some of those wild characters included "The Fugitive Guy," "The Guy Under the Seats," and Marlon Brando. He went on to appear in a string of successful movies including Manhunter, The Abyss, Groundhog Day, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary. But he is probably best known for his cult classic film Cabin Boy, which also featured Letterman in a legendary cameo saying, "Hey, would you like to buy a monkey?"
Elliott also created the cult classic '90s series Get a Life, was a cast member of Saturday Night Live, and has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Everybody Loves Raymond, and How I met Your Mother. Currently, Elliott stars on the Adult Swim series Eagleheart, as well as the new CBS series Schitt's Creek with Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. He can also be seen on the big screen opposite Hugh Grant in the new romantic comedy The Rewrite, which opens in theaters on February 13th.
The Rewrite revolves around Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant), an Academy Award-winning writer in a slump that leaves Hollywood to teach screenwriting at a college on the East Coast. He soon bumps heads with fellow facility members Mary Weldon (Allison Janney) and Dr. Lerner (Oscar-nominee J.K. Simmons), and eventually falls for Holly Carpenter (Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei), a single mom taking his class. Elliott plays Jim, a Shakespeare professor living next door to Keith. The film was written and directed by Marc Lawrence (Two Weeks Notice, Music and Lyrics).
I recently had the absolute of honor of speaking with the great Chris Elliott about his work on The Rewrite, as well as the legacy of Cabin Boy, David Letterman's retirement, and SNL's 40th anniversary. The hilarious comedic actor discussed his new film, if he's ever moved to a new town for work, Hugh Grant's comedic style, the relationship between Grant and filmmaker Marc Lawrence, why Elliott does not "enjoy shooting movies," meeting J.K. Simmons, Elliott's Shakespearian knowledge, the legacy of Cabin Boy, David Letterman's legendary Cabin Boy sketch during the Academy Awards, what Letterman means to Elliott's career, Letterman's upcoming retirement, SNL's 40th anniversary, and why the Elliott family holds a special place in SNL history.
Emmanuel Lubezki might just end up with back-to-back Best Cinematography Oscars, if the American Society of Cinematographers Awards are any indication.
Lubezki, who won both the ASC and Academy Award on account of Gravity last year, is halfway to a repeat, taking home the top prize for Birdman at the 29th Annual ASC Awards over the weekend.
Just in time for that big win, Fox Searchlight has unveiled a new featurette on Birdman's faux single take cinematography.
When last we saw Dom Toretto and his family of world-class automotive criminals, they'd wiped their records clean and returned home to LA.
In Furious 7, however, the old Toretto house goes up in flames as part of Jason Statham's nefarious plan, leading Dom, Brian O'Conner, Letty, and the whole gang on another whirlwind misadventure across the globe.
The latest TV spot says goodbye to the house where it all started and shows off even more of the insanity that follows.

Zend Primes PHP for the Enterprise
Zend Primes PHP for the Enterprise
Darryl K. Taft
Posted 2005-01-11
Software platform delivers reliability, scalability and interoperability to PHP applications.
Zend Technologies Inc., creator of the open-source PHP Web application development language, has announced new software to make PHP ready for the enterprise. The Cupertino, Calif., company this week announced Zend Platform 1.1, an integrated software platform that delivers reliability, scalability and interoperability to PHP applications, said Pamela Roussos, vice president at Zend. "Were seeing enterprise-class users beginning to adopt PHP for their applications," Roussos said.
"We asked a lot of users what they wanted, and they said they needed more reliability, scalability and interoperability as a way to make PHP enterprise-grade," Roussos said. "So thats why we did with Zend Platform. At its heart its a central place where aggregators can manage and control their PHP applications."
Zend Platform delivers what Zend calls PHP Intelligence: performance management, configuration control and interoperability with Java applications. Roussos said PHP Intelligence enables users to pinpoint problems in PHP applications, such as run-time errors; performance, script and function problems; and database errors. Meanwhile, the new Zend Platform is tightly integrated with the Zend Studio integrated development environment for PHP, Roussos said.
This integration enables developers to "find problems and fix them," she said. "So were tying together the life-cycle management. Were tying in development with production." Roussos said that although Zend is formally announcing Zend Platform this week, the company did a "quiet release into our installed base" in October and already has 150 customers for the platform. Zend also on Monday announced a beta release of Zend Studio 4.0, which features integration with the Zend platform and enhanced database integration. Zend Studio 4.0 supports MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Cloudscape and PostgreSQL, Roussos said.

I highly recommend both Brady and his apartment.
Brady was very easy to deal with, left detailed instructions, and made the whole process very easy.
As for the apartment, it was exactly as described. Very clean and tidy, a ridiculously comfortable bed, and very spacious.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay for your next visit to London.
I have been staying at Brady apartment for 12 days with my friends. It was really nice time, we enjoyed our staying. The apartment is conveniently located in a green calm area just two minutes from gorgeous Battersea park. Bus stop is 5 min walk and Kings road with many shops and cafe is 15 min walking. The apartment is clean and comfortable. It's very convenient that you can pick up the key at concierge. We haven't seen the host but communicated with him by email. He responded quickly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone who will stay in London.
As said by many others-- nice apartment that is well sized, good westerly view, convenient location, easy check-in, helpful & friendly concierge, private parking, broad selection of local restaurants and food stores, good bus services to Victoria and West End.
Flat is in a great location, and checking in is very easy. The 24 hour doorman gives you the key so there's no worrying about being late to meet the host. Brady provided very detailed information, and everything within the flat was easy to use. The only thing I would note is that the flat faces onto the outside sears of two (delicious) restaurants so in summer there is a little noise. This ended each night around 10pm, which wasn't an issue for us as we went to bed later than that. But if you're a light and early sleeper it's something to keep in mind. The location is great, you can get to the main sights easily by bus, and it was beautiful going for early morning runs in Battersea Park which is practically next door. Recommended!
The apartment was a good size for our family of four. It had all the essentials, two bathrooms were a definite bonus, as was the ability to do the washing & cook up meals as needed. The location suited our needs perfectly as we were able to catch the bus into central London....or wander down to the park at the end of the road. Brady's communications were prompt & helpful. He sent through useful information prior to our arrival, which aided us in purchasing Oyster cards for cheaper transport (bus & the tube), knowing our local options for groceries (we found the co-op around the corner to be a good option) & eateries. As we picked up the keys from the concierge, and had no problems, we never met Brady. The concierges were helpful, polite and one in particular had a great sense of humour. Very happy with our stay..the balcony was lovely to relax on and have a meal, or just a drink. Would suit families, couples or anyone wanting a not so hectic space in London. Lovely to have a balcony to eat on....or just enjoy a drink.
We have had a fantastic stay at Brady's Place. The Apartment is in perfect condition and as per images you can see. The balcony is a real plus during sunny days . The Car Park Facility is also great facility. Communication with Brady was great before , during and after the stay. Place to recommend.
Great place in Battersea. It is close to Children's Zoo, which my 3 y.o. loved, it was close to Chelsea and great pubs and restaurants near by.
The place was clean and had most things a traveller could ever want.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
More checks, but fewer arrests during holiday Checkstop
THE Winnipeg Police Service stopped twice as many vehicles this past holiday season as they did during the 2011-12 Checkstop program, but still laid fewer charges related to impaired driving.
The police traffic unit stopped 4,069 vehicles as part of the 2012-13 Checkstop program and laid 43 charges for impaired driving, operating a vehicle over the blood-alcohol limit or refusing a blood-alcohol test, police announced Thursday.
In 2011-12, the traffic unit stopped 1,901 vehicles during the same period and laid 57 charges related to impaired driving. But it's unclear whether this means Winnipeg motorists have heeded calls to avoid driving while impaired, as there are differences in Checkstop program operations from year to year, said Const. Eric Hofley.
The average age of a person charged with an offence was roughly the same during both seasons -- 31 this year, versus 33 in 2011-12.
There also was not much of a change of the average blood-alcohol concentration of people charged with offences. The average impaired driver police nabbed this year had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.16 per cent this season, compared to 0.17 per cent last season.
Any breath sample over 0.05 per cent will trigger an offence in Manitoba, while anything over 0.08 per cent warrants a criminal charge for impaired driving.
The most impaired driver this year had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.3 per cent, which is six times the provincial limit and almost four times the national legal limit. That level of intoxication usually results in unconsciousness and can result in death.
That said, in 2010 police outside the South African city of Queenstown arrested a driver with a blood-alcohol concentration of 1.6 per cent, according to the Sowetan newspaper.

London property: 'Sealed bid' open house viewings dropped as homes market slows
Estate agents are starting to abandon frenetic "open house" viewings of properties as the number of homes coming on to the London market picks up.
Agents say the London market is returning to "normal" with more asking prices being reduced than for years and some homes languishing unsold for months rather than being snapped up by anxious buyers.
Peter Rollings, chief executive of central and west London agency Marsh & Parsons, said his firm had not arranged a weekend "open house" session — at which potential buyers are given as little as 15 minutes to view a home before submitting a sealed bid — for about a month.
Marsh & Parsons has seen a 26 per cent rise in the number of properties coming on to the market since March while the number of registered buyers per property has dropped from 24 to 16 since the start of the year. The latest signs of a slowdown come after Nationwide boss Graham Beale forecast that the overheated London market will go through "a natural correction" over the summer.
Figures today also showed that London is getting less of a boost from the Government's Help to Buy scheme than any English region apart from the North-East. Only six per cent of all purchases backed by the scheme are in the capital. Agents said buyers are now walking away from properties they see as overpriced rather than panicking about missing out.
Richard Barber, partner at agents WA Ellis, said: "We've seen a drop in applicant levels in recent weeks — there's an affordability issue and a general feeling that prices have gone as high as they're going to go. There's also a real concern about property taxes if the Conservatives don't get elected in 2015 — people believe there'll be all sorts of clobbering on property."
He said the average price per square foot achieved in sales over the past year is one per cent down, from £1,876 in the first quarter of 2013 to £1,858 in the first quarter of 2014.
The impact has been particularly hard at the top end of the market with prices in the £10 million bracket down by around 10 per cent in some areas, according to Trevor Abrahmsohn of north London agents Glentree.
He said there are currently three unsold properties on the market on Church Row, one of Hampstead's most sought-after addresses. A large family home on Greenaway Gardens, also in Hampstead, has had its price reduced by 10 per cent in recent weeks with only a "very muted" reaction from the market, he added.
However, agents said there was no chance of a full blown crash in London despite the huge rise in values over the past five years. Dominic Agace, chief executive of the Winkworth chain, said: "If the steam is coming off a bit we think that's a healthy thing."

Lineup Announced for 2015 CMA Music Fest
The lineup has been announced for the nightly shows at LP Field during the annual CMA Music Fest in Nashville, to be held June 11-14.
The lineup has been announced for the nightly shows at LP Field during the annual CMA Music Fest in Nashville, to be held June 11-14.
It's safe to say Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell are having a happy this Wednesday, as the three men have been named final New Artist of the Year nominees leading up to the 2015 ACM Awards.
Luke Bryan is getting ready to pack up his sunscreen and shades. The superstar has announced the impending release of the last of his Spring Break series of EPs.
Luke Bryan is now a father-figure to three boys. In the wake of the death of his brother-in-law last November, the 'I See You' singer has taken in his 13-year-old nephew, Til.
The nominations for the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards are out, with Miranda Lambert leading the pack with 8. Congrats to all the nominees!
The countdown for the Academy of Country Music Awards is on, and Tyler Farr wants your votes! And apparently, the singer knows country fans can't say no to cute kids.
Tyler Farr is a man of many talents. From playing sports as a kid to performing now, he can do it all. Recently he sat down with Taste of Country Night's Sam Alex to dish on his guitar skills (and Luke Bryan's pearly whites).
Jason Aldean has always been the subject of much chatter, and lately, the buzz has been all about his impending wedding to fiancee Brittany Kerr. Despite rumors, the two lovebirds have not said "I do" yet, but it seems they will very soon!
Luke Bryan is about as hot as the sun these days and there is no sign of him stopping anytime soon.
Luke Bryan is ready to get dirty. The superstar announced the Kick the Dust Up Tour on Wednesday morning. He is set to hit the road on May 8, and he's bringing along some very popular opening acts.

Major Security Snafu With Data on DC Aid Applicants
May 12, 2009
The District of Columbia agency that handles financial aid requests has just sent detailed information about 2,400 aid applicants to 1,250 of those applicants, The Washington Post reported. The office sent an e-mail to 1,250 applicants and accidentally attached a spreadsheet with 2,400 applicants' names, e-mail and home addresses, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and dates of birth. The agency has since asked all of those who received the spreadsheet to destroy it. Further, it sent an apology to the students whose information was shared, and is offering one-year subscriptions to a credit-monitoring service so that they can try to prevent identity theft.

That's what's in question ATM,as this is obviously a slightly different scenario vs carrier unlocking,the potential for fingerpointing is infinite. SAMSUNG would be where I'd start,since they're the one's who slapped the sticker on the box,then your service provider ATM,although I'm willing to bet initial contact w/both will be entertaining to say the least.... Please keep us posted w/any results/info provided by either.
It's nothing at all to do with my service provider as I bought the phone "unlocked" [ha-ha] straight from Samsung in London. In actual fact, I never saw the sticker as one of the Samsung demonstrators took it out of its box in a vain attempt to show me how to use it.
I wont get my new sim until I go to India, I guess it might be the same for most of us going abroad. Even if I had a sim here with me right now, that sim wouldn't work because the network is based else where? Just a bit confused.
Basically it's only region locked for first activation, at least that's what Samsung is claiming. Once you activate it with a SIM from the region it's mean for, you can use any SIM from anywhere in the world.
I can't wait that long for a Sim, the phone I'm using now is kind of busted. What would happen if you put one of those sims in the phone and then unable to use your own sim?
Following scenario should be possible: Say India is your home country, you travel to Europe, you buy a Samsung phone locked for Europe, you buy an European SIM and activate the phone first time. Then you travel back to Inda and use your India SIM without trouble Harry
Following the statement from Samsung that 'first activation' with a sim card from the country of purchase (paraphrasing here quite a bit) will unlock a phone, one of my mates, who is a huge Samsung fan, bought the Note 3 from London, activated it with his Three UK Sim card and then went to Hong Kong on business on Saturday. I got a message from him that when he tried to put his HK sim card in the phone, it rejected it and asked for an unlock code. Now he has an expensive brick and no other phone to use out there unless he either purchases another one or agrees to the ridiculously high roaming phone charges from the UK (which is the reason he has an HK sim in the first place, plus his clients and colleagues out there have that number, not his UK one). He is livid and intends on taking the phone back when he gets back to the UK and demanding his money back. Samsung lost another customer... Now I have a friend, who I trust, experiencing this issue, the Note 3 is dead to me. Time to move on. The XDA thread has gone up to 65 pages with a vast number of people all experiencing this exact same issue, irrespective of what is alleged to occur after a first correct activation. For shame, Samsung, for shame. FURTHER EDIT: My friend asked me to phone Samsung UK and get their response and they said (and I recorded the call but not sure on the quality yet) that there is no 'first activation' and any phone is region locked regardless of whether it is activated correctly and that I can get it unlocked by visiting a Samsung Service Centre and paying a fee. My nearest Samsung Service Centre is over an hour away from where I live. This will cost me upwards of
Seems that even the SGS3 will get the region lock with the Kitkat update ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46003980&postcount=542 Harry
The issue should be clarified (and hopefully resolved) with time. I don't think it is Samsung's intention to screw frequent international travelers.
Yes I would hope not, especially as they seem to be targeting business users in general with this device.
I rather thinks that's exactly the intention. Otherwise, why do it? And not just on the note 3 by all accounts.
To prevent grey market importers from undercutting authorized retailers in countries where Samsung products are more expensive.
I have some new information. I run a forum like this and one of my moderators went to Hong Kong last month, he has an iphone and he was not able to use there local sim. It seems it's not just a Samsung problem. Thanks for your post Scootmien, I should get the correct colour Note 3 within the next few days and I will hunt down my nearest Samsung Service Centre. I shall let you all know the outcome and price.
Just telephoned my nearest "Samsung Service Centre" and they said they don't do it. I then asked him who will unlock it, he said to call the network provider. I have this feeling that I'll be going round and round in circles.
Correction. He said that it was Network locked, so this could be a Samsung thing after all. I received the phone but this time they sent the right colour, it's on charge. I have no choice but to find a way to get it unlocked, we've paid money for it and what we do with the phone is down to us. When I switch my phone on, I will call Vodafone and ask them to remove the lock. If they say "No", I will ask for a refund because it will be no good to me and this was not explained before the purchase.
I've just checked on the Carphone Warehouse website and every review of the device that casts it in a bad light and/or mentions the region lock, has been removed, including the review by my friend in HK. I've just spoken to a chap at CPW on the phone and he was absolutely insistent that if I buy an unlocked Note 3 it will work with ANY sim card anywhere. He started to get quite aggressive when I suggested (and I did it very politely too) that he check on Google for the note 3 region lock fiasco as he, his colleague sat next to him and his superior were all completely unaware of this issue. Time to go into a store and ask, I think.
You could point out there's a sticker on the box AND a booklet inside saying the phone is region locked?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Topic: Grasses or Grass-like
Title: When to mow native prairie grasses in Florence, Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Mark Simmons
What is best time of year, if any, to mow a native grass prairie? 40 acre creek bottom planted with little bluestem, sideoats, prairie dropseed, love grass, switchgrass, bluegrama, sand dropseed plus lots of wildflowers and misc. grasses and forbs. Located near Florence Tx (west of Georgetown) ThanksANSWER:
All of the prairie grasses you name—Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem), Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama), Sporobolus heterolepis (prairie dropseed), Eragrostis spectabilis (purple lovegrass), Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) and Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama)—are warm season grasses that are either blooming or getting ready to bloom now at the beginning of summer. If you want them to reseed your plot, you don't want to mow them now. If you are seeing a lot of tall weeds in your grasses that you want to remove and you can set your tractor/mower high enough to avoid cutting your grasses, you could mow those down.
Frequency of mowing your prairie grasses depends on all kinds of conditions. As a general rule most Hill Country native grasses can be mowed at least once a year. However, if you want the species to drop its mature seed, then the mowing should occur after flowering and seed set and at least 1/2 the seeds have fallen from the plants. The timing of this event depends on the species. You can monitor your grasses to know when this has happened.
The short answer then for the grasses you name—if you want your grasses to reseed—is that December through mid-February is the best time to mow to avoid losing seeds. If you don't care whether they reseed (they are all perennials), then you could actually mow anytime.
There are two entries in our How to Articles that should be useful to you: 1) Recreating a Prairie and 2) Meadow Gardening.
