JC: Yeah, that was pretty personal. I have mercilessly made fun of Page Six, and justifiably so, in my opinion, but I've never said anything about them personally … but I think [Richard Johnson] just went about it the wrong way. There's actual gossip-worthy items probably about me — I don't think they're gossip-worthy, but certainly he could find something. I'm not asking him to … but that just came off very personal to everybody that read it. It didn't make anyone look good.
There's this kind of this sick enjoyment that media outlets have in bickering with each other — it's fodder and keeps people coming back and so on — but where it takes that kind of turn it doesn't help anybody. But, whatever, it was a month ago and I think in the collective consciousness of media memory it's like two years ago.
JO: I was jealous. I thought that it made Jessica look like a total rock star that they were so angry at her that they did this …
JC: Oh, don't be jealous …
PM: Are there other sites out there that you guys think do that kind of media gossip really well?
JC: I think there are a lot of sites out there that cross beats with us, but the Gawker tone and style is very specific to an extent. There are sites that are doing their own thing that are similar … I think that FishbowlNY is very niche, and what they do, they do well. They may only do four or five items a day but they give it a more thoughtful, longer treatment than Gawker is going to, because that's just not what we do. Jossip casts a very wide net, content-wise, and does a very nice job of covering what's going on.
JO: I just don't know. People always ask me, "What blogs to you read?" and so much of our stuff, or at least what I do is commenting on, making fun of stuff that happens in the mainstream media — and actually I hate that I just used the phrase "mainstream media," but at least I didn't say MSM — but I spend so much time looking at the Times and the Post and the Daily News and CNN and Romenesko that I actually don't really read many blogs.
JC: I used to be like that, but then I embraced my RSS feed and it's changed my world. I hated it for about the first seven months, then I finally started using it … but now it makes such a difference. It's good that one of us is reading blogs and one of us is focusing on mainstream stuff because we're aggregating conversations, both high and low. It's good to be focusing and criticizing and commenting on Slate and the Washington Post and everything, and it's also important to find content on these smaller Web logs because there are how many millions of people writing out there? For some people Gawker is the only blog-type thing they read, so I think it's really valuable to pick up a lot of smaller items from smaller sites and interesting quirky things that you may not see otherwise.
JO: I think there are a bunch of different sites that do parts of what we do or we do parts of what they do. I don't feel like there's anyone who is sort of a direct competitor to what we do. Gothamist does more straightforward, straight ahead metro coverage kind of stuff. … Surely you can drop into this some sort of larger Jeff Jarvis point where the great thing about the blogosphere is that every audience can find their own site and blah blah blah …
PM: We'll leave the meta stuff to Jarvis.

2014 SEC recruiting primer
How each SEC hoops program is shaping up heading into the 2014 cycle
With the new ESPN 100 player rankings out and as the 2014 basketball recruiting cycle picks up heading into the July evaluation periods, here's a look at how each team in the SEC is shaping up in the 2014 recruiting class. Team-by-team recruiting capsules for the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC are already out, and the AAC (Monday), Big East (Tuesday) and best of the rest (Wednesday) will be coming in subsequent days.
Note: Teams are as of conference alignment for the 2013-14 season.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Who they have: No 2014 recruits so far.
Who they want: The Crimson Tide are in need of scoring punch. Most importantly, however, they need guys who value defensive effort and intensity. The hit list includes a smattering of players from their region. Coach Anthony Grant is after ESPN 100 prospects such as shooting guard Devin Booker, shooting guard Ahmed Hill, forward JaKeenan Gant, shooter Riley Norris and point guard Lance Tejada. You'll also hear guards Tadric Jackson, Robert Johnson and Devin Mitchell mentioned.
Storyline to watch: The offseason transfer of Trevor Lacey and possible loss of Devonta Pollard could leave the Tide without star power, so it would be nice to land one of the higher-profile guys from their wish list. The measure of Alabama's 2014 class could come down to how much scoring power gets signed.
Bold prediction: The strong presence of Grant appeals to one of their primary wing targets and the Tide land a top-50 perimeter player. They have first crack at Gant.
Overall recruiting trend: Even, largely thanks to last year's frontcourt group having some long-term potential. As for many of the teams in this league, it's a big year on the recruiting trail.

During nervous system development, spinal commissural axons project toward floor plate cells and trochlear motor axons extend away from these cells. Netrin-1, a diffusible protein made by floor plate cells, can attract spinal commissural axons and repel trochlear axons in vitro, but its role in vivo is unknown. Netrin-1 deficient mice exhibit defects in spinal commissural axon projections that are consistent with netrin-1 guiding these axons. Defects in several forebrain commissures are also observed, suggesting additional guidance roles for netrin-1. Trochlear axon projections are largely normal, predicting the existence of additional cues for these axons, and evidence is provided for a distinct trochlear axon chemorepellent produced by floor plate cells. These results establish netrin-1 as a guidance cue that likely collaborates with other diffusible cues to guide axons in vivo.

Choices, choices...and slugs...and my inner Clive

Never thought I would be shown the slug as an example of how to live but actually you are right. I do enjoy your words Jane. I don't know how to comment on this post but I think taking things slowly is always a good bet. I agree with you how writers have to do so much crap to sell their books etc and how you, as such an intelligent person, would be against that.

Why do your choices have to be so dramatic? Greece? Mitcham? A cave? There must be less drastic ways to bring in some more money? Why not sell the house and move into a smaller one nearby, or rent out part of your house. I am imagining you live in some rambling farmhouse type pile with land, but actually I dont know - you could be in a 3-bed semi with bed 3 being a box room. You are right there are always choices but the hard part is when none of them is the thing you really want. Then you just try to hang on as long as poss, hoping that a better option will arise. Oh, I think you are me.

@Cait - how lovely to see you! I'm not surprised you don't know how to comment...I wouldn't either.. :)
@MS - Mitcham is dramatic? Hmm. You could have a point. Nah, not a rambling pile - but it's big enough...four bed semi with two beds as offices. You're spot-on about the 'none of them being the thing you want' though...and the hanging on... :) - 21 June 2012 at 12:25

"But really, there is always a choice. Always." Absolutely true. I left a good paying job to go back to school, when we had two young children and no income (to speak of). We survived. And did OK as a result of the added education.
I recognize that some people dismiss options without really considering them. That is part of the problem, I think.
And when you can't change something, you can change how you think about it, or what you are going to do inspire of it.
Brilliant post, Jane. - 21 June 2012 at 21:04
- Ross Mountney said...
I agree Jane, there's always choice. Am in the same boat really - keep writing and informing people of their choice to home educate if school's not working for them - or get a job where you are actually paid for working! I found it quite enlightening when I read 'The Moneyless Man' by Mark Boyle and the choice he made to live without money for a year. I can't give up money - but reading it certainly helped me appreciate the little I have! x

My Vision Of Love
Everyone has their own way of explaining what love is. But you can't really know unless you are actually in love. Some people say how are they meant to know if they're in love if they don't even know what it is. But I think you can't really say what Love is without experiencing it. Some people have good, others have bad visions depending on their experiance with love. My vision is. . . I'm with love and I know that coz. . . - i wanna see him all the time - i wanna be with him all the time - even the littlest thing about him makes me happy - I've never felt more comfortable talking to noone except for him - i get butterflies when i'm around him and even when i'mn thinking of him - he makes me want to do things i know i can't do - i love him and everyone and everything is against that, but i don't really care now - he makes me jealous when he's talking to other girls but if I don't get him, I will always be happy with whoever's with him...as long as he's happy - he's all I can think about - he's even in my dreams

Top Home Designs | Hug.me - Get a dinner date this weekend | International Dating |
GM's should read this section. It gives the thinking behind a lot of the rules and includes additional information not covered elsewhere. A useful but random collection of rules and thoughts relating to Darkness...
Darkness uses a twenty sided dice and it is intended to be used sparingly. However remember players also like to 'try out' their characters to see what they can do. Always remember the storyline when you ask for rolls or checks and consider it when you make rolls. ALWAYS adjust things to fit your story. If you feel that sticking to a dice roll will ruin your story or create too much distraction for the players. IGNORE IT.
If a particular dice roll will suit your story telling needs pretend you got what you needed. Also remember Fumbles and critical hits, if you need a NPC to achieve something spectacular allow them a Critical Success or Fumble (hide the dice result from players to prevent arguments) the same goes the other way if a Fumble will destroy your story minimise the bad effects. Remember Players will gladly have their Fumbles reduced but they will not let a Critical Success go so easily. Let them have it even if it ruins part of your story, write around it rather than making your player feel cheated and losing GM credibility.
The weaponry, wounds and monster rules are designed in the players favour. PC's are likely to survive a lot of injury, they will be crawling away with broken limbs but they will more than likely survive the most dangerous of encounters. PC's are meant to be heroes. Remember if a monster has died too easy, let it stick around for a while longer even though the dice say otherwise. The rules are there to help you achieve your story telling goals.
The darkness dice system is actually less complex and less simple than it appears.
It can take time for some players to get used to the rolls, however once this sinks in it all becomes quite simple. There is some maths with two two digit numbers which again can stump some but after a while it all becomes second nature. If GM's just interpret things loosely and utilise a 'close' enough attitude it can help this initial period.
The Success Level concept favours those with high 'skill' where as the roll favours those with high 'Stats'. This gives the Skilled better results(Success Level) and the naturally gifted the chance to succeed. Higher the Skills and Stats also enables higher success levels by virtue that the succeeding dice roll can be higher. At lower skill/Stat levels it may even not be possible to reach certain success levels. This is all part of the way that the system is engineered.
As a result higher skill combatants do more damage, and high DEFENCE not only reduces the chances of being hit but the also damage potential.
There is no need to really understand the intricacies of the systems odds it was just required that it was mentioned somewhere.
When a monster's wounds are reduced to 0 the monster may be removed from the combat. Most monsters are not heroic. At 0 wounds roll a Sanity check should they fail the stress of battle becomes too much and they will either flea, faint, play dead or cower in a corner. Those that pass the roll will fight on until they reach the negative of their base wounds (eg 10 = -10). Then they are mortally wounded and will only fight on if they pass yet another San check (at the injury -4 penalty). Once past this point they are dieing and losing 1 wound per round to bleeding etc. At minus double their starting wounds they are dead. Only the most pig headed and bloody minded will fight on to this point. Eg.Wild boars, berserkers etc.
The GM should use their own judgments as to when a monster will 'give up'. Most mother's protecting their young will fight on regardless, most demons will give up their possession at the first stage, others (who enjoy the pain & cruelty) will fight till the bitter end.
Once a monster is below '0' it is at -4 to its actions. Unless of course it is particularly bloody minded or immune to pain. or if the GM says so.
When an action is actively being resisted, the 'victim' also rolls to provided a Success Level the aggressor must beat.
This is used when two individuals are competing Eg. feats of strength, searching for a hiding character, resisting a magic etc. Both make their roll and the Success Levels are compared, the highest successful wins. If both Fail neither succeed, however if a result is still required the closest wins.
Typical uses;
These are areas of the world where the barrier between this reality and the next is thinnest. Entities normally restricted to the other side may step through to our world in these areas. The entity will normally require a vessel, a body to posses. But some may manifest without. Being in demonground does not guarantee possession it just means the if there is a chance for it to happen it can (Check Every hour if Darkness exceeds Sanity) The chance for possession in non-demonground is about 1 in 20 (assuming sanity lower than darkness). NB: excess MP beyond 2 reduces Sanity and Requires hourly checks.
The type of possession is based on what type of demon the individual would attract. The type of insanity they suffer as well as their equipment (pre-fall Tech) or magical ability should all be taken into account when deciding on the type and duration of the possession. This of course could be all randomly determined but the GM should make the decision based on their story line and players.
A powerful demon is more likely in the demongrounds, however a powerful demon would also choose it's 'ride' more carefully.
Individuals would be picked out and followed possibly for months by entities awaiting a chance.
(Ride refers to the victim of the possession)
There are many many many different types of demons many more that are listed. For each form of insanity there are demons who would be attracted to it. The demon that makes it through need not necessarily be the most typical one associated with each type of insanity but it does set a trend.
Sanity checks are required when characters witness things that overload their emotions, horror, fear repulsion etc. In some cases a character will lose a point of sanity based on how extreme the event is. The result of a failed sanity check varies from case to case, from inability to cope with the situation to blind rage. If the roll is fumbled (roll of 20) the character will lose a point of sanity and could also pick up a mental illness appropriate to the incident, phobias, compulsions etc.
When a character fails a Sanity check the GM can assign a reaction. The Player still controls the character's actions but the GM guides the player. Gm's can make suggestions based either on the story line or a random roll.
1-5 Blind Rage- Character attacks the source.
6-10 Curiosity - the character becomes intrigued.
11-15 Freeze - the character freezes, in some cases curling up into fetal position.
16-20 Rout - Character retreats by any means, even attacking others to get away.
There are plenty of other possibilities the GM should consider, this gives a general idea that the GM can expand on.
Terminal velocity of the human form is ~305MPH (100wounds) when in a head first
arms back attempt to gain speed. 100MPH when attempting to slow down (Reflexes
For game purposes the maximum speed reached in a controlled 'fall' is 100mph.
(31 wounds) An uncontrolled fall would be 200mph (65).
With Collisions take the speed of each vehicle added together or the difference between their speeds if they are moving in the same direction. Leaving a moving vehicle uses the vehicles speed.
Use the distance fallen/speed as success level to calculate damage.(meters/yards fallen or Miles Per Hour) Damage is Area of Effect(AofE).
A of E : damaged is applied to '2' random locations (round down). Athletics
+ Reflexes check reduce to '1' chosen location.
Seat belts & Harnesses : These allow the above check to automatically succeed,
assuming they can cope with the accident.
Typically in leaving a vehicle or vehicle accidents where the impact is not instantaneous a second Athletic +Reflexes check allows the damage to be divided of '2' locations instead of just '1'. Collisions with solid objects do not allow this eg falling, collisions with big rocks.
Effective distance/speed is doubled if the 'faller' can not prepare for impact such as being pushed, unrestrained and unprepared in car accidents etc. (athletics + reflexes check to gain control, may be attempted again with enough distance).
The GM should feel free to improvise or alter damage as they see fit depending on the circumstances and possibly include sanity checks to panic and lose control of extended falls.
To calculate damage off the chart
Excess damage taken to the limbs transfer into the body.
Those with Chaos, Divination or Darkness can see into Darkness i.e. The Spirit World and see ghosts and demons if they concentrate (cool + magic skill). They can even see the spirits that inhabit inanimate objects such as stones and trees. Man made items do not have these spirits unless they are particularly old, finely crafted or loved. The Spirits that inhabit these object are not sentient and thus are not really capable of though as we know it, however they do have emotions that the Wizard may interpret. (Personality + Empathy + Chaos)
Those with the school Chaos can see these entities the best and as a result are often a bit 'strange'.
The spirit world is where ghost reside, where dreams are almost tangible, where magical travel takes place. The spirit world is the place where hyperspace travel, if the technology were available, would take place. The spirit world is the place where mages draw their magic from and where pre-fall tech draws its power. It has also been referred to as 'Chaos'
Some natural plants or spell components unique to the Darkness world.
Mordes Bane : A flowering weed the perfume of which keeps Mordes from using their shape shifting and mind-reading abilities. Has many other uses.
Chronos Fruit : The fermented droppings of the Chronos Beast. Has magical properties relating to time.
Stimpletons Fungus : One of the main ingredients for the cure of magical plague. The wizards of the circle that rule the lakes cities regulates the production of this fungus. Near impossible to find in the wild as a result. Rumour has it that the Circle gained its power this way; this is of course denied by the Circle.
Wolves Bane : there is some argument amongst scholars whether Blue Wolfsbane is as effective against werewolves as True Wolfsbane, however both are intensely poisonous but Blue Wolfsbane makes better elven wine than True Wolfsbane. (elven wine being poisonous and very hot/spicy)
Albury's Curse: Prickly and hard to irradiate. Helps cure infection. Popular amongst Elven Healers
An Undercities central computer is actually a super advanced replicant, that can access the Virtual Network from anywhere within their Undercity. They do so the same way that Ghosts do. They rarely venture out of their deep underground bunker as they are able to move about their under city the way that an AI would, within the 'virtual'. This is how they keep an eye on progress and so forth. Each central replicant computer is fitted with a hardwire and a mobile node. Their skill is such that their 'Range' encompass the entire undercity, as far as its network spreads. This means that they are aware of any extensions to the network and will sometimes curb or allow it depending on its motivations.
The networks does to an extent extend into the shanty towns, but there are area within an UnderCity that don't have access.
This is complex..
Dwarves and Dark Elf alliance. The dark elves trade mining equipment to the dwarves for basic food and materials that the dark elven technology is unable to provide. The Dark Elves mere presence in the yolknar mountains prevent most from attempting to take the dwarven lands. Dwarven military might destroys the foolish that try.
Gnomes control much of the trade in the south but also in the north. They enable trade between the dwarves and the halflings keeping each race supplied with farmed goods and mined/manufactured goods. The gnomes also act as middle men between the dwarves and the Circle. The raw form of sight/blur, a gem stone, is mined from the Yolknar mountains. It is rumoured the undercities also require this raw material, to feed their main computer.
Originally the Undercities were placed near natural concentrations of this mineral which is now near depleted, except for the Dark Elven Undercity. It was abandoned millennium ago, it never had to deal with over population and only recently partially re-populated, leaving the Yolknar mountains. One of the major cargoes of runners only very small quantities are required by the undercities but it must be transported quickly before its potency detiorates.
The undercities regulate the escape of people and technology. They have overpopulation issues but the fear of invasion makes them hesitant, they would rather slaughter their own over population than let it be used against them.
Illegal Technologies, technology that is too far advanced by the computers definition has to be developed out side the cities to keep it beyond the 'computers' grasp. Each city has different definitions as to what is considered illegal so different technologies are researched to different stages in different cities, the final puzzle then assembled and hopefully sold before the computer recognises and bans/destroys the technology.
Contact between the different undercities is banned by the computer for technology control reasons but also for safety reasons. Each computer has a slightly different style of regulation, a unique personality. This was designed in so that if one method failed the other cities were no doomed to the same fate. This separation also prevents plagues and unrest destroying more than one city.
AIs are the most trusted method of transporting data, designs and even fashion ideas between cities. They are also the ideal industrial espionage agents.
Sixteen though run by pure insanity is still fully functional. In fact there are levels that appear quite normal to its inhabitants. These 'Farming' areas are quite unaware of their eventual fates. SIXTEEN will accept people as currency.
International Fine goods and foods are traded for slaves and technology between international traders and the twin cities and Nineteen's shanty towns. This slave/people trade keeps populations controllable around Nineteen. One of the cheapest methods of leaving an undercity is slavery. Rumour has it that some of these slaves end up in Sixteen.
The Circle trades in life essence. Rogue mages have their magic drained from them for their own 'protection' this is then used to create permanent magics. Not all mages survive the ritual, which is more profitable for the Circle.

Leave CFA progress off my resume for banking??
OThis is NOT your typical "i want to do banking will a CFA help LOL!?!?!?" thread. I've already made substantial progress towards the CFA designation, and am wondering whether or not to leave it off my resume when I try to lateral into banking.
A bit of background: I graduated back in 2009 and started my career at a muni-bond financial advisory shop. The CFA was somewhat valued there, so I signed up for the December '10 exam early last year. Not too long afterwards, I was laid off along with my analyst class. After about 4 months of unemployment, I landed my current gig as an FP&A analyst at a large Silicon Valley tech company that you've definitely heard of. Though the CFA designation is not particularly relevant to my position, I decided to take the test since I had already paid for it and passed L1 in December.
Fast-forward to today... I've been at the new company for just under a year. I like the gig no doubt, but am thinking of trying to lateral into banking or corp dev within the next year or two. Although I will defend the CFA curriculum to the death as the most relevant for banking, I realize that it's not the most respected designation in the field. If you were in my shoes, would you leave "CFA Level II/II Candidate" off the resume when applying?
Any insights are much appreciated.
Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?
I let it on my resume, even
IBI let it on my resume, even though I don't plan on pursuing to level III once I start my banking gig in august.
I passed level III and it has
COI passed level III and it has helped me get banking interviews. Even though the CFA traditionally isn't important for IBD, they all seem to be impressed that I have it. I sometimes get asked why banking instead of asset management because of the CFA background, but it's pretty easy to come up with an answer for that.
^ fonz, what was your answer
?^ fonz, what was your answer to that?
i would not be able to think of an answer to try and stay in the sell-side shit hole over a buy-side job
passing level I is definitely
IBpassing level I is definitely not "substantial progress"...hell i was a poly sci major and passed that nonsense...nor is it "most relevant" to banking. Learning your colors and numbers in pre-school was more relevant that anything level I or II taught me....but regardless, I would leave it on if for no other reason than to show you are willing to work hard outside of normal working hours to further your knowledge.
"I want to focus on
CO"I want to focus on transactions/deals" - then talk about how your own experiences have led you to believe that deal-based work is a better fit than continuously applying or researching a strategy.
Are you mad?? Of course leave
?Are you mad?? Of course leave it on! I only passed Level I and it helped a lot during SA and FT IBD recruiting. It was very well respected, especially by senior bankers.
Be careful about how you put
STBe careful about how you put it on the resume, there are a lot of rules they set about how you describe your candidacy, like I a pretty sure that technically you are not supposed to put your progress in terms of levels, just that you are a candidate. Look at the end of the level 1 ethics book, a lot of examples of what you cant and can do.

Lundi 14 mai
Everyone enjoyed the last night of the conference and what came of it, including me. Most participants left the room the next day, with only a few in. The business was finished, her husband John had for some time that has happened to me. We decided we had to have a romantic evening. John had an excellent restaurant where guests previously booked and looked forward more to cool overnight. We were ready in time and I asked John, I have to trust. He suggested that I have something I feel very sexy in place and maybe even turns me on. So, what to wear. I opened the cupboard and took each piece separately. videosexart I finally settled on a black short skirt and a white blouse and slim, who overcame a lot of John 's favorite perfume, keep your high heels and black patent high without underwear. A car came videosexart to us at 8 pm and went to the restaurant had a wonderful meal videosexart with champagne and could be a lot of the instead of weeks with the exception of last night and Brian. John decided to go to Houston to one of the many lounge bars, which had been recommended by one of his friends. It was very cozy, dim lights and played a dance floor with a good chill- out music. John does not like dancing, but this time we danced all night. The champagne flowed and it was always fun with it. While we danced, John asked how I felt. I felt like sex? Yes, I was very turned on and John put his hands under my skirt and lifted it, caressing my ass. At first I thought, seeing all these people are, but then relaxed in his arms and told me what the hell, I do not know any of these people and never see again. His hands off my butt and started my blouse buttoned to the waist of the skirt. He put his hand inside and started my nipples, which responded to adjust accordingly. - whispered thatNow we return to the hotel. We went from the dance floor, a group of men was for me a smile. One of them, the British told to return at any time. Returned to the hotel and went straight to our room. John brings me to the bed, opened his coat and videosexart buttoned the top button of her blouse and put me in bed. He dressed quickly and lay on the bed beside me and videosexart stroked my breasts and ran his hand over my pussy, to travel in that inserts a finger. I was quite over and got on him and began to walk. I arrived almost immediately, and felt that coming to get started. To my videosexart dismay, bang 5 minutes later he fell asleep and I was still in the wings. I stood there for a while I wondered fingers what to do. After all the champagne that was pretty thirsty and decided to go to the bar, who was awake all night for a drink. There were a few men sitting at the bar and when I approached, I realized that two of them were in the bar wasJohn and I were in. I have come to almost a Uturn and would have done if one had not said, and found that a drink. The two boys immediately recognized me and asked me if I had enjoyed, as he had liked to see me dance. Oh, no, I thought I saw my bare bottom. I blushed and videosexart obviously one of the boys, said Tom, do not worry, it looked pretty. Tom and his friend Jim suggested that the drinks to videosexart the table in the corner. I started to get on, here I am walking on a dark table in the corner with two guys who have already seen my naked ass. videosexart Tom asked what happened to my husband, oh, and I said, was a complete disappointment at the end of the day. What I say. Well, Tom said, smiling, with his good time, we have never seen a lady, nor forsake thee. We had been spoiled for some videosexart time as the bar and we were the only ones to drink. Tom had to buy vodka and videosexart Coke and great for me that began with the champagne that had bee -MixNo drinking before. I had passed the stage of drunk and apologized for the bathroom. I was weaving a path to the door. As I sat on the toilet, I asked him what he wanted and what was decided and returned the children to participate. videosexart A half hour later, Jim suggested that it should be videosexart back to his room for a drink before. I said, is that good, as long as there was only one. Only one, said Tom, but Helen can not just one or two of us. OK, I said, but no more than two, thinking he was referring to the drink. walked toward the elevator when I made the night before, but tonight I was always pissed as a newt. We entered the elevator and Tom I was in his arms and kissed me passionately. Jim was in the back, hands unbuttoned her blouse and fondled my breasts. The elevator stopped and went to his room. Soon I had my clothes on the bed. The last thing I remember is telling them they had to use condoms. The next thing I remember is that John woke me the next morning. He was very worried to sleep and told me he wanted for breakfast and would see me there. I threw back the covers and saw that I was still with my black thong and windows have had done yesterday afternoon, before the stairs. I went to the bathroom and I got up to keep the belt, only to find a condom inside me. I quickly washed. I could not remember anything the night before. When I showered, my phone rang, indicating that an SMS message received. I left the shower and opened the message. He said: 'Helen, I thought the text was to see how you were. Jim and I had a wonderful night. We have never seen a woman before having sex so much they enjoyed it and look forward to TGS times. I have enclosed photos all of us. please register.

Terence Hardy "Terry" Waite CBE (born 31 May 1939,[1] in Bollington, Cheshire) is an English humanitarian and author, famous as a hostage in Lebanon 1987-91.
Waite was the Assistant for Anglican Communion Affairs for the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, in the 1980s. As an envoy for the Church of England, he travelled to Lebanon to try to secure the release of four hostages, including the journalist John McCarthy. He was himself kidnapped and held captive from 1987 to 1991.
He is president of the charity Y Care International (the YMCA's international development and relief agency) and patron of AbleChildAfrica and Habitat for Humanity Great Britain. He is also president of Emmaus UK, a charity for formerly homeless people.
The son of a village policeman in Styal, Cheshire, Waite was educated at Stockton Heath County Secondary school where he became head boy. Although his parents were only nominally religious, he showed a commitment to Christianity from an early age and later became a Quaker and an Anglican.
Waite joined the Grenadier Guards at Caterham Barracks, but an allergy to a dye in the uniform obliged him to depart after a few months. He then considered a monastic life, but instead joined the Church Army, a social welfare organisation of the Anglican Church modelled on the Salvation Army, undergoing training and studies in London. While he was held captive in the 1980s, many Church Army officers wore a simple badge with the letter H on it, to remind people that one of their members was still a hostage and was being supported in prayer daily by them and many others.
In 1963, Waite was appointed Education Advisor to the Anglican Bishop of Bristol, Oliver Tomkins, and assisted with Tomkins's implementation of the SALT (Stewardship and Laity Training) programme in the diocese, along with the Revd Canon Basil Moss. This position required Waite to master psychological T-group methods, with the aim of promoting increased active involvement from the laity. During this time he married Helen Frances Watters. As a student, Waite was greatly influenced by the teachings of the Revd Ralph Baldry.
In 1969, he moved to Uganda where he worked as Provincial Training Advisor to Eric Sabiti, the first African Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi and, in that capacity, travelled extensively throughout East Africa. Together with his wife and their four children, Waite witnessed the Idi Amin coup in Uganda, he and his wife narrowly escaping death on several occasions. From his office in Kampala, Waite founded the Southern Sudan Project and was responsible for developing aid and development programmes for this war-torn region.
His next post was in Rome where, from 1972, he worked as an International Consultant to the Medical Mission Sisters, a Roman Catholic order seeking to adapt to the leadership reforms of Vatican II. From this base, he travelled extensively throughout Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe, conducting and advising on programmes concerned with institutional change and development, inter-cultural relations, group and inter-group dynamics and a broad range of development issues connected with health and education.
Waite returned to the UK in 1978, where he took a job with the British Council of Churches. In 1980, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, appointed him the Archbishop of Canterbury's Assistant for Anglican Communion Affairs on the recommendation of Tomkins and Bishop John Howe. Based at Lambeth Palace, Waite again travelled extensively throughout the world and had a responsibility for the archbishop's diplomatic and ecclesiastical exchanges. He arranged and travelled with the archbishop on the first ever visit of an Archbishop of Canterbury to China and had responsibility for travels to Australia, New Zealand, Burma, the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and South Africa.
In 1980, Waite successfully negotiated the release of several hostages in Iran: the Revd Iraj Mottahedeh (Anglican priest in Esfahan), Dimitri Bellos (diocesan officer), the Revd Nosrat Sharifian (Anglican priest in Kerman), Fazeli (church member), Jean Waddell (who was secretary to the Iranian Anglican bishop Hassan Dehqani-Tafti), Canon John Coleman, and Coleman's wife. On 10 November 1984, he negotiated with Colonel Gaddafi for the release of the four remaining British hostages held in the Libyan Hostage Situation, Michael Berdinner, Alan Russell, Malcolm Anderson and Robin Plummer and was again successful.
From 1985, Waite became involved in hostage negotiation in Lebanon, and he assisted in successful negotiations which secured the release of Lawrence Jenco and David Jacobsen. His use of an American helicopter to travel secretly between Cyprus and Lebanon and his appearance with Lt Colonel Oliver North, however, meant that he was compromised when the Irangate scandal broke. Against advice, Waite felt a need to demonstrate his continuing trust and integrity, and his commitment to the remaining hostages. He arrived in Beirut on 12 January 1987 with the intention of negotiating with the Islamic Jihad Organization, which was holding the men. On 20 January 1987, he agreed to meet with the captors of the hostages as he was promised safe conduct to visit the hostages, who, he was told, were ill. The group broke trust and took him hostage on 20 January 1987. Waite remained in captivity for 1,763 days, the first four years of which were spent in solitary confinement. He was finally released on 18 November 1991.
Following his release he was elected a Fellow Commoner at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, UK, where he wrote his first book, Taken on Trust, an account of his captivity in Lebanon. It quickly became a best-seller in the UK and internationally.
Waite decided to devote himself to study, writing, lecturing and humanitarian activities. His second book, Footfalls in Memory, a further meditation on his captivity in Lebanon, was published in the UK in 1995 and also became a best-seller. His latest book, published in October 2000, Travels with a Primate, is a humorous account of his journeys with his former boss, Robert Runcie. Waite has also contributed articles to many journals and periodicals, ranging from Reader's Digest to the Kipling Journal, and has also supplied articles and forewords to many books.
In January 1996, Waite became patron of the Warrington Male Voice Choir in recognition of the humanitarian role adopted by the choir following the Warrington bomb attacks. Since then, he has appeared with the choir for performances in prisons in UK and Ireland to assist in rehabilitation programmes. Prison concerts have become a regular feature of the choir's Christmas activities.
He is also a co-founder of Y Care International, a development agency linked to the YMCA movement. Recently he founded Hostage UK, an organisation designed to give support to hostage families. He is also president of Emmaus UK, and patron of the Romany Society.
On 31 March 2007, Waite offered to travel to Iran to negotiate with those holding British sailors and marines seized by Iran in disputed waters on 23 March 2007.[2]
In 1992, Durham University awarded him an honorary degree. Waite was awarded an honorary degree (D.Univ) by the Open University at an award ceremony in Ely Cathedral on 30 May 2009.[3] He was also awarded an honorary doctorate by University of Chester in 2009 at Chester Cathedral.[4] He currently holds the position of Visiting Fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford.
Waite has a particular regard for Eastern Orthodoxy and the writings of C.G. Jung. In 2008, he joined the Religious Society of Friends or Quakers.[5]
Waite returned to Beirut in December 2012 to reconcile with his captors and lay to rest the ghosts of the past.[6]

Christof and his parents and two brothers once lived in a crowded city. But they wanted to live in the countryside, so they moved to a tiny village in a mountain valley in central Portugal.
The boys help their parents plant and harvest the food in their large garden. They take care of their chickens so they can have fresh eggs to eat. There are no children in the nearby village, but the brothers don't mind. They have each other. They study their lessons at home with their mother.
One day Christof saw an elderly neighbor herding his goats near Christof's family farm. The boy waved a greeting and ran to the man. "Hi," he said. "Those are really nice goats you have." Christof paused a moment. "I've been thinking of getting some goats. Do you have any suggestions? Do they cost a lot to raise? Do they need lots of care?"
Antonio, the old man, laughed. "So many questions!" he said. "Walk with me, and I'll tell you about goats." And he did. Antonio explained that goats eat nearly anything—including garden crops! He showed Christof how to milk a goat, and he let him taste some goat cheese.
Christof thanked Antonio for his advice and said goodbye. That evening the boy asked his parents, "Please may I use my allowance to buy some goats?"
Christof's parents talked about it and decided that Christof could buy some goats. Antonio helped the boy buy good goats and told him more about how to care for them. The old man and young boy often talked about their goats, and their friendship grew along with the goats.
One day Christof asked Antonio, "Do you believe in God?"
"Yes," the old man said. "I do believe in God. But there's no church in our village." As the old man and young boy talked, Christof realized that Antonio couldn't read. The boy offered to bring his Bible and read to Antonio. The old man smiled with pleasure. From that day on, whenever Christof visited Antonio, he took his Bible to read.
"What church do you attend?" the old man asked.
"We're Seventh-day Adventists," the boy answered. "We worship God on the Sabbath."
"Oh," Antonio said surprised. "My grandmother told me about the Sabbath when I was a boy."
Christof and Antonio talked about the Sabbath for a while, and the boy invited his friend to go to the nearest Adventist church with his family. But Antonio felt that the church was too far and the road too rough for an old man such as him. So Antonio invited Christof's family to come to his house on Sundays to worship and read the Bible together.
Word spread through the tiny village that Christof was reading the Bible to Antonio. Marie-Elise, one of Antonio's neighbors, asked Christof to read the Bible to her as well. In fact, most of the old villagers wanted the boy to read the Bible to them.
Christof and his brothers began riding their bikes into the village to spend time with the aging villagers. The villagers loved the visits, for the boys were the only children within miles. The boys offered to help work in people's gardens, care for their animals, and do other chores the villagers couldn't manage well anymore. Christof and his brothers became the grandchildren of the village.
Christof's family held a weeklong series of Bible studies for the villagers. And everyone—everyone—in the village attended. Then they organized weekly Bible study meetings in a villager's home.
People in neighboring villages heard about the meetings, and they wanted to hear the message too. Today three villages have small groups that meet regularly to study the Bible and learn of God's love. Some villagers have even begun worshipping on the Sabbath.
In the mountains of central Portugal people have begun accepting God's message of love, a message that started with a young boy, an old man, and some goats.

My Experiments with Mobile Platforms
Posted by barathshankar on Friday Mar 9, 2012 Under Cloud, Innovation, TechnologyIn the past 9+ months, I've managed to switch from iOS (4.0+) to Android (Gingerbread & Honeycomb) to iOS (5.0+) to BlackBerry (6.0). Part of it was an intentional attempt to gain an indepth understanding of how these platforms actually play-out and partly because of work compulsions. I've tried to capture my experiences by taking a neutral stand and providing an honest opinion about all these things.
Smartphones used: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Google Nexus S and BlackBerry Curve 9300
Things that I loved!
The simplicity and UI of iOS and the fluidity of switching between apps and everything 'just working'! Even while my phone was jail-broken, unlocked with ultrasn0w, it did not impede the working of the phone one bit. The battery like on the iPhone 4 is rock solid and it seems to take everything that I threw at it head on and emerge unscathed.
The ability to customize each and every element of the UI on Android combined with the flexibility to change your phone's appearance whenever you want to. Surprisingly, the Nexus S was also quite a power horse and was able to handle everything that I threw at it. The social media integration into the Android platform is quite phenomenal – you can post, like, chat, message and do pretty much anything from anywhere in the phone.
The BlackBerry Curve was the most challenging transition I've had to make (even more challenging than my move from US/UK to India). Despite its complicated appearance, there is something about the BlackBerry platform that makes it tick (at least in India – you can spot it EVERYWHERE!). I bet that if you tested the hypothesis that 'Indians believe that the more complicated you make something with options and buttons, the more value it carries' it would have something to do with the success of BlackBerry here. The BBM and integrated messaging platform that helps you keep messages crisp and to the point is something I love about the BB.
Things that I hated!
Ok, hate is perhaps a strong word and shouldn't be used.
Things that I hated didn't like!
The social media integration is still lagging miles behind on the iOS platform. Even though Apple has gone a long way in integrating it trying to integrate it, it lags behind Android big time. App management and cross integration is also another feature where iOS lags behind Android but this could be a deliberate attempt in sandboxing apps and preserving performance.
Sometimes, the complex nature of the Android core rears its ugly head resulting in slower performance, crashes and errors. Rooting the phone and loading Cyanogenmod was an interesting experience (could be compared to the Jailbreak process) but it definitely did not improve the experience one bit.
BlackBerry is not designed to be a social media beast. Despite RIM's efforts to integrate Twitter, Facebook into the messaging interface of the BB, it still lacks the refinement and the simplicity of Android or for that matter even iOS.
Closing thoughts
Over the past 3-4 years, these platforms have evolved quite well to find their niches and will continue to do so. The market segments are beginning to become clearer and people who stick to one segment are more likely to continue to use it in my opinion. The only platform I haven't tested out is Windows Phone and I am hoping to do so in the near future – especially the Nokia Lumia series that looks quite promising.

How come my pagerank dropped down to 1 again, after having just two weeks with pr2?
The only thing I have changed is the urls. They was like this: www.mydomain.com/index.php?blah=blah&widgets=1092 changed them to www.mydomain.com/widgets1092.html
thought this would be a good thing?
Is there someone else with the same problem?
I've noticed some downtime for google this last week, adsence 404ing and also their .co.uk, didnt last long, but wondered if it was related!
Why care?
What are your site readership figures like? or revenue?
These are what are important, unless you're running a site just for the Google spider!

BMW Sauber F1.09 - front wing revisions 26 July 2009
BMW Sauber tried a new front wing on Friday in Hungary, with a quite complex endplate featuring a very squared-off shape. As seen on many other cars, it has two slots to try and reduce with the drag created by the front tyres, sending more of the airflow towards the outside of the tyre. In the circle you can see the previous configuration, which the team will continue to use for qualifying and the race in Budapest.

HollywoodLife.com spoke EXCLUSIVELY to the victim who tells us how the shocking death will change the course of the show. And yes, we will learn what really happened during that brutal bloodbath. Warning: SEASON 5 SPOILERS AHEAD!
'Pretty Little Liars': Mona Dead — Janel Parrish Thinks Alison Killed Her
Mona was brutally killed off of Pretty Little Liars, but don't worry, Janel Parrish is coming back to the show, as a series regular.
"I'm not really, really gone," Janel tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "I will still be back. I will still be a regular. I'll just be on the show in a different way — flashbacks — which I think is really positive because fans will know finally get a lot of back info on Mona."
Good thing Mona is returning because her flashbacks will help to solve tons of mystery — including who killed her and where her body is hidden. But while Janel hasn't learned who actually killed her, she's pretty certain.
"I do not know. I don't have a set in stone answer, but I do have my suspicions and I do think its Alison," Janel reveals. "I do think it's Alison. She looked pretty smug standing outside my house."
Janel thinks that Mona was killed by Alison, and so do the liars. Keep reading for more Season 5 spoilers.
Janel Parrish Q&A: Reveals Season 5 Spoilers
HollywoodLife.com: Were you sad to be killed off?
Janel Parrish: "No, actually. I was kind of excited. Now that I know I'm still on the show, it's kind of like a new experience for me is being "flashback girl" and I think it's going to be very positive in the end. It was pretty crazy. I'm really happy that people are shocked, and that it's hitting them emotionally because that's what we want and it makes me feel great. I'm like, 'Aw, you're sad that I'm gone?' I feel so loved!"
How much Mona will we see in flashbacks?
"I'll basically be filling Sasha's shoes — she was flashback girl for the first three years, and now that will be me, and so it will be great because now the mystery will be, What happened to Mona? Who killed Mona? Where is Mona's body? It'll be great to be on the show in a different way and to finally give fans and myself some answers."
Will the Mona flashbacks bring the answers that fans are dying for?
"I hope that Mona's flashbacks lead to a lot of answers, once Hanna starts digging through her memories and coming up with things. Or other people's memories about Mona — maybe in that, there will be some answers and it will help them solves a lot of mysteries."
How will Mona's death affect the girls?
"It was affect them a lot — especially Hanna. It will affect her more than ever. They had a really intense relationship, and at one point, she really loved me and I really loved her so that definitely affects her more than everybody. But it is going to be a big part of their lives now. They're going to be obsessed with the mystery of what happened to Mona."
Is the focus of the rest of the season and Christmas episode 'Who killed Mona?'
"It will definitely be one of the biggest mysteries, as well as, who killed Bethany? And what happened?"
Will we find out where Mona's body is?
"That will be the next mystery in the next few episodes."
Do the liars think that Alison killed Mona?
"Yes, they do. Now, it turns them into straight up enemies. It will be split into teams. Alison versus the liars now. That will definitely unfold over the next few episodes and the girls are definitely intent on taking Alison down."
If Alison did kill Mona, were there other people on her team that we'll learn about?
"There might be a few surprises here and there, in true Rosewood fashion."
At the time of Mona's death, did she really hate Alison? Were they at all teaming up in some twisted way?
"No, I think she really, really hates Ali and I think that Ali might have killed her because of it."
So Mona really believed that Ali is 'A'?
"Yes, I definitely think she figured out some Ali incriminating information"
Was Mona truly a good person?
"I really do think that she was a good person. I think that she redeemed herself. I think that she came through and she died because of it."
Did the girls actually like Mona at the end?
"I do think that Mona redeemed herself with them, and I do think that they're truly, truly sad that this happened to her and I think that they are harboring a lot a guilt, wondering if there's something they could have done differently or if they could have treated her differently or if they believed her and not bullied her years ago if this would have happened to her. They're going to be dealing with all of those feelings."
Did Mona die because she knew too much?
When did you find out that Mona would be killed?
"I found out the day before we did our table read. Marlene gave me a call and told me, but she was so sweet about it — she wanted to make sure that I knew that i wasn't getting killed off the show. I was just getting killed, but I was still on the show."
How was the experience of filming your death scenes?
"It was fun. As you can see, the death scene is kind of like a before and after, but the aftermath is crazy. You might get a little bit more information, as far as you'll see a little bit more of what really happened and that was really fun to film. You'll see how much Mona fought til they very end."
When your dead body was in the trunk, was that really you? It looked so creepy!
"That was actually me! It was very hard to keep my eyes open. I don't know how I did it. I was just focused the entire time on keeping my eyes open and not blinking. It was also like 3 in the morning when we filmed it so my eyes were really tired and heavy so it was definitely difficult for me to keep them open and wide. No blinking!"
HollywoodLifers, will you miss Mona's character on the show or are you happy that she'll be the "flashback girl" now? Sound off below, and let us know, do you think that Alison killed Mona or was it someone else?

It couldn't have been Ali because she has long hair with curls while the person who killed Mona had short hair with side curls, and when the police where at Mona's house we saw Ali next to the car that time she also had long hair, she seemed like she knew who killed Mona and was also happy. I don't think that Ali is the A or the person that killed Mona.
It probably was Mary A. Dilarauntis. Radley Sanitarium is an anagram for Mary A Dilarauntis. Supposibly Jessica's 3rd child? Alison didn't have a twin in the show series because they said they'll make the story and show different. But they never said Jason did not have a twin. It could have been Mary who killed Mona. And she must've mistaken her for Alison. Also it couldn't have been Bethany because they found her body. It's just a theory.

What if Bethany is alive and was Ali's twin? So now evil Bethany is killing everyone and Alison really has been dead all along? That would make sense on the original body identification. Plus there were literally pictures of Ali and a twin in her room at one point, as well as a French quote about why life is better with a twin.

Bethany is not dead. Ali did not kill Mona. When has the show ever been that obvious? Bethany was Mrs. D's daughter. If you read the books, Ali had a twin. The show's creators said they aren't going with that, but they sure as hell are keeping it close to it from what I've seen. Think about when Mrs. D was saying that she couldn't protect someone anymore and that the Liars thought it was Jason because you would only do the things that Mrs. D did for a child. Well, she was doing it for her child, just not one that we know about yet.

I feel like I cant keep up with this show! They make you sympathize for mona and then they kill her… i didn't like Ali from day one. Her character is just irritating and she had no likable qualities, I am not convinced that she killed Mona herself though. The blond hair looked like a wig to me? This show is so bitter sweet, I am kinda getting sick of being strung along by A but i do not want the series to end. Does anyone else think they might add a sifi twist to it? I wasn't sure is they added the wiji bored thing in as closure for Caleb or if they are eventually planning on spinning that into the liars web… ugh so many question!

I took some pictures on my phone from the "Ali" (or Mona's killer) in the hoodie walking up the stairs to Mona's room and the back of Ali's head in previous episodes. The hair highlights, the shape of the head, everything matches with Ali. Who else would it be??? Ali had a good reason to kill her: because the recording of Bethany talking about Mrs. D and the affair proved that what Ali said to the lie detector about her not having anything to do with Bethany's murder was not true. She needed to shut Mona up AND steel the evidence. Plus, Mona had evidence that Ali was A.

I partly agree with that, but if she isn't dead, and neither is Alison, then who else is left to be in the grave? My other thought is, what if Bethany really is dead, and Alison killed her. The polygraph didn't detect anything when she said she had nothing to do with Bethany's murder maybe because she made herself believe she didn't do it. -"If you believe a lie, it becomes the truth."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)18 children killed by U.S. influenza outbreak
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 7th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The United States is in the grip of an especially virulent flu season. At least 41 U.S. states have reported outbreaks, with more than 2,500 people being hospitalized and 18 children dying from it before the end of 2012. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Health officials say the numbers haven't even peaked yet. "I think we're still accelerating," Tom Skinner, a Center for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman says."It's about five weeks ahead of the average flu season," Lyn Finelli, lead of the surveillance and response team that monitors influenza for the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases says. "We haven't seen such an early season since 2003 to 2004." Joe Lastinger's daughter Emily, 3, died only five days after coming down with the flu in late January. "That was the first really bad season for children in a while," 40-year-old Lastinger says. "For whatever reason that's not well understood, it affected her and it killed her." In 2012, flu-related pneumonia and deaths peaked in early January. That season was considered a "moderately severe" season for flu, and ended in mid-February. Officials say it's still too early to tell how bad this year's flu season will get. These are the symptoms to watch for, according to data being gathered by Flu Near You, flu cases have increased dramatically over the last few weeks. Here are the season's most-reported symptoms: 1. Cough - 19 percent 2. Sore throat - 16 percent 3. Fatigue - 15 percent 4. Headache - 14 percent 5. Body Ache - 10 percent 6. Fever - 7 percent. The CDC has already listed it as "intense" by monitoring flu activity around the world based on internet search terms. Roughly four percent of users on Flu Near You, a real-time tracking tool gaining about 100 new participants per week, say they're experiencing symptoms. "That's huge," John Brownstein, an epidemiologist and assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston told journalists. "Last year, we never got near this." Brownstein is one of the founders of Flu Near You, a project, coordinated by Children's Hospital Boston, the Skoll Global Threats Fund and the American Public Health Association. Brownstein's data shows cough is this year's most frequently reported symptom at 19 percent, ahead of sore throat at 16 percent, fatigue at 15 percent, headache at 14 percent, body ache at 10 percent, and fever at 7 percent. Three out of four people reporting flu symptoms had not yet been vaccinated. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Philadelphia Becomes Newest U.S. EPA Green Power Community Partner
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has welcomed Philadelphia as a new member of the Green Power Communities initiative, which includes towns and cities across the United States who buy green power generated by solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and low-impact hydropower resources. Currently, Green Power Communities collectively purchase a total of more than 4.2 billion kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity each year.In 2006, Philadelphia joined the EPA's Green Power Partnership, and the city has pledged that by the year 2015, 20 percent of the electricity consumed by the city will come from renewable sources. The city's municipal operations have already met this goal, using more than 127 million kilowatt-hours of green power.
