Healthy Snacks for a Day at the Beach
by Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, August 11, 2012
About 2 hours into my first day on the beach this summer I realized I had not planned well. The ice cream man began ringing his bell which automatically triggered my hunger. I dug through my beach bag and found nothing resembling food. After taking a swig of warm water from my half-filled water bottle I realized I needed to plan a bit better for my next day in the sun.
It's easy to crave to junk food when on vacation or stranded on the beach for several hours. For me, packing healthy snacks is the way to go especially because the last thing I want is to feel bloated or sluggish in my bikini. Here are my picks for beach-friendly snacks that can translate easily into options for any outdoor outing this summer.
Dried Fruits and Nuts
Dried fruit and nuts is possibly the perfect nutritional combination for your day at the beach. The great thing about trail mix is it's totally customizable. Toss together your favorite unsalted nuts, dried fruits and seeds or whatever else you can dream up, and you have an instant healthy snack. This perfect pairing of carbohydrates and protein is also packed with nutrients like antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Looking for convenience? Grab a KIND bar which is basically no-fuss portable trail mix in bar form. Avoid those that contain chocolate on a super hot day (likewise for adding chocolate to your homemade trail mix); it can get messy fast.
Fresh fruit
The best choices are citrus fruits, watermelon, blue or purple berries, mango and apricot. Why? All of these fruits have phytochemicals that can help protect your skin from harmful UV rays. While this doesn't mean you're free to skimp on the sunscreen, it may give you the extra boost you need to stay safe in the sun. On top of their protective properties, many fruits are in season throughout the summer and are the perfect healthy and refreshing snack.
Banana + Peanut butter
Can't decide between sweet and salty? Want something easy that will fill you up? A banana with peanut butter will do the trick. Bananas are loaded with potassium as well vitamins B6 and C. Add some peanut butter to the mix: slather it right onto a banana, or enjoy this heavenly combination on a slice of whole-grain bread and you'll be ready to ride waves all day.
Raw veggies
Cut up some carrots, red bell pepper and broccoli to bring to the beach. As you may know, they are packed with vitamins and minerals to keep your body strong and healthy. What you may not know is that all these vegetables can also help protect your skin from the sun, so they are perfect companions for a day at the beach. Plus, veggies are a great source of water which will help to keep you hydrated. Not into veggies on their own? Pack a tasty bean dip like hummus or low-fat dressing for dipping and you'll be set for fun in the sun.
Shelled or un-shelled, this bean is the perfect snack for the sand. Rich in fiber, protein (½ cup has the same amount of protein as 2 eggs) and energy-boosting carbs, this tiny green legume is great for noshing in and out of the sun. Pack frozen edamame in your beach bag and they will be ready to go come snack time.
It's always important to stay hydrated when out in the sun but calories from beverages can add up quickly. For some of us, water is just not tasty enough. Try adding slices of cucumber, citrus or even melon to water with herbs like mint to add some pizzazz. Still bored? A quick, easy and healthy solution is iced tea. You can cold brew it at home and customize it, too. Try adding lemon, honey or ginger for some extra flavor. Plus, both green and black teas, like certain fruits, help protect your skin from UV rays, making it an ideal beach beverage. Not in the mood to brew? I love Honest Tea; there are many low- or no-calorie options in a few fun flavors.
Cooler Must-Halves
Sure, you can toss a few snacks into your beach bag, but for a full day at the beach these are my cooler must-haves to keep you going. Pack a few light cheese options like low-fat string cheese (Trader Joes has a new fresh mozzarella cheese stick — yum!), Laughing Cow wedges or Baby-Bel minis. They're perfect for pairing with a piece of fruit. Snuggle a container of Greek yogurt up next to a frozen water bottle to keep it cool till you're ready for a mid-day snack.
What are your favorite healthy beach snacks?

Income and wealth inequality in Switzerland
The GINI coefficient for Switzerland is already low, at 29.6 (compared to the UK's 34, US's 45 and an EU average 30.4). Current data indicates the relative strength of the economy - real GDP growth at 1.9% in quarter 3 of 2013 (compared with a year earlier), 3.2% unemployment, real incomes rising, a current account surplus, high levels of both inward and outward FDI and a small government budget surplus. But things can always be improved, and the Swiss approach to 'direct democracy', which allows citizens to call for a referendum on anything they want, if they can gather 100,000 signatures calling for a vote, is currently resulting in a series of proposals to promote equality and social welfare.
They have recently rejected a proposal that would have limited executive pay to 12 times that of the lowest paid. That would have given Switzerland the world's toughest pay rules and some of the lowest executive salaries which is why business leaders said that would limit foreign investment and the government was also opposed to the proposal.
However in March they did back strict limits on bonuses and golden handshakes.Now two more votes are on the way, the first on the introduction of a minimum wage, and the second, and most controversial, on a guaranteed basic income for all legal residents, whether they work or not. There are concerns about this, given that Switzerland does subscribe to the EU principle of open borders and free movement of capital, but the main debate about that proposal does not centre around whether the state can afford it, which you might expect to be the issue, but the supply-side matter of whether it would act as a disincentive for anyone to study, learn a new job or enhance their human capital. What would it do for a national culture and work ethic?

"Hollaback Girl" first song with one million commercial downloads
For the first time since the advent of commercial digital music downloads, a recording has passed the 1,000,000 mark in download sales. The song, former Billboard #1 "Hollaback Girl" from Gwen Stefani's debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., had sales of approximately 995,000 downloads as of Friday, September 30. The recording has averaged 15,000 downloads per week since it's release on November 25, 2004.
Stefani commented, "It's always an honor to be recognized for your music, and this is really the coolest. It's exciting to see people embrace the song and really make it part of their lives. Whether it's cds, computers, or cellphones…it really is bananas."
Another track from the album, "Rich Girl," was featured in commercials for Apple and Pepsi's free iTunes download promotion earlier in the year. "Hollaback Girl" is available for sale from iTunes, as well as Napster, Rhapsody, Sony Connect and other online music retailers.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean people who do have poor taste in music. Different strokes for different folks.
Posted by Rene on October 3, 2005 at 10:39 PM (CDT)
people, really, what's your problems? could you please stop flaming the song? most people i know who like(d) the song don't/didn't like it because they think it's great music. it's a catchy song, it's fun, and you can sing along and act crazy to it. not all the music you listen to has to be the best. just because someone listens to hollaback girl doesn't mean they don't have 'good taste in music', whatever that means, it may just shows that they're open minded in what they listen to and don't believe that every song recorded has to be a masterpiece to be worth listening to. stop the hate!!! =P
Posted by clharlem149 on October 3, 2005 at 10:56 PM (CDT)
it's one thing to say "i hate the song" but to generalized that "people who listens to this song have the worst taste in music" just proves that you're a music snob. anything that's on the top chart is probably the worst chart for you. you also might choose songs that people never heard of and labels it as good music because it is rare which makes it the greatest music ever. who are you to judge others taste in music? get real.
Posted by whatever on October 3, 2005 at 11:16 PM (CDT)
So more than 1 million people have bad taste in music, according to the nay-sayers?
Not EVERYONE who liked this song bought the download. Some bought the CD, some the CDingle, and others like it, but didn't buy it in any form. That's a lot of people!
Posted by Sam on October 3, 2005 at 11:51 PM (CDT)
All the people who are passing judgment on the 1,000,000+ people who downloaded 'Hollaback Girl' should post what they consider to be great music…bet you guys are listening to some dogs as well.

Every reality show is an entirely true story.
It is not the story that it claims to be – the story of two tribes building a new civilization, the story of America's search for its next superstar – but it is a true story nevertheless. It is, or at least it contains, the true story of the conception, creation, marketing, viewing, analyzing, and evolution over time of a piece of entertainment that lives in the swampy, foggy, half-real version of the truth that it creates.
There are people who have met on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette (as well as on other shows) who have actually gotten married and had children and stayed together. That's the more-or-less kind-of-true plus-or-minus part when it comes to the on-screen story. It's popular to say everything is scripted, nothing is real, but that's far too simplistic. There are moments of authenticity, believe it or not, in many of these productions.
But the on-screen story of The Bachelor is, for the most part, a goony, tacky, stupid con. To repeat a statistic that's well-known by now, and one that's repeated as it becomes gaudier and gaudier: of 17 bachelors before Juan Pablo Galavis (whose season ended Monday night), exactly one — the most recent, Sean Lowe — had the experience the show sells with its diamonds-and-roses come-on: meet a woman, choose her in the finale, get married. Women on The Bachelorette have fared a little better for some reason: fully two out of the first eight Bachelorettes married their final picks, and the ninth is still engaged.
There are perhaps those viewers who still watch it straight-on, for the romance, who still thrill in the way the show overtly asks them to and who swoon when someone "finds" "love." But particularly with the help of Twitter, The Bachelor now has an entirely different following: people who find it amusing to watch and dissect the con and to treat the entire thing as a partially felt, entertainingly unctuous performance of what television has decided is "romantic."
Monday night's finale was catnip to this demographic, because more than it ever has before, the con came apart on screen.
As shattering as the light that fell from the sky in 1998's prescient The Truman Show, this particular finale capped a season that has gurgled and choked on its own chosen star as a series of women seemed to suddenly widen their eyes, straighten their spines and say, "Uhhhh … bye." This isn't unprecedented – there have been people in the past who have still been in the running and said of the central figure that they are not, shall we say, feeling it. But generally, the show preserves the idea that this is either nobody's fault or the departing person's fault. Generally, the near-universal desirability of the Bachelor/ette is sacrosanct.
This season, of the last six women in the running, who are presumably the ones who got to know Galavis the best, two of them walked and another one almost did. And they didn't really leave because there was no spark, and they didn't really leave because they weren't "feeling it." The first, an opera singer named Sharleen, left after making a long series of comments amounting to variations on, "He has nothing to say and isn't very smart." The second, an Assistant District Attorney named Andi, left after spending a long night with him in which he apparently talked exclusively about himself and turned her off entirely.
And then a lady named Clare, when she was all the way down to the final two, found herself in a private moment with Juan Pablo outside the reach of cameras and microphones, hoping for a private avowal of warm feelings, at which point she later claimed (extrapolating from her bleeped retelling) that he instead said, "I loved [having sex with] you." With the brackets containing the part she wasn't so crazy about. She wound up staying, but he didn't pick her in the end, and she was immediately irate that he'd led her on. She told him she wouldn't want any child of hers to have him for a father — despite the fact that the show's favorite thing about him has been that he has a daughter. When she was gone, he chortled, "Hoo, I'm glad I didn't pick her."
So in the course of three departures, the show actually allowed their eligible bachelor, who represents the prize for which all these contestants are competing, to be portrayed as (1) not too bright, (2) kind of self-centered and boring, and (3) coarse and vulgar.
They'd had some PR issues with Galavis earlier in the season, when he was quoted saying that he didn't believe a show with a gay bachelor would be anything people would watch, would set a poor example for kids, and would be "too strong" because gay people are "more pervert in a sense." Galavis, a Venezuelan soccer player whose first language is not English, later claimed that when he said "pervert" he meant "more affectionate and intense."
But it certainly seems that at some point, whether because the PR was bad or because they couldn't avoid it, in showing all these interviews in which women dismissed him as kind of unappealing, the show decided to dump him. They steered into the skid, as it were, and the finale included lots of footage of the live audience frowning and booing and gasping with dismay at things he said and did – that's the true story part. The true story part is not Juan Pablo ultimately choosing a woman named Nikki. The true story is that somewhere, somebody who makes The Bachelor decided that they needed a different framing for the season – one in which their bachelor was kind of … a jerk. They made a choice to cut him loose. To throw him, in reality show terms, under the bus.
And Galavis knows that's what happened, and while he was undoubtedly under all kinds of contractual obligations to come out on stage with Nikki and talk to host Chris Harrison, he made it as uncomfortable and awkward as possible and played along as little as he possibly could. Harrison had been teasing all along that Galavis had a big surprise; when it came time to reveal it on live TV, Juan Pablo basically said, "I don't know what you're talking about." It certainly appeared that he hosed the host on live television. That is, in this universe, Not Done. Live shows are choreographed; if there was supposed to be a bit there, pulling the plug on it would leave a hole. Indeed, Harrison seemed to be caught flat-footed, and settled for asking over and over and over again whether Juan Pablo would please just say he was in love with Nikki. (He wouldn't.)
It wasn't just that — Juan Pablo later darkly and coldly implied that he and Nikki had changed some of their plans for the future because of information he received in the last few weeks from the producers. Now what is that supposed to mean?
As things sputtered awkwardly, Harrison went to Sean and Catherine in the audience – that one bachelor who has ever married his final choice – and asked them to comment as Juan Pablo dug his heels in and didn't cooperate. And Catherine said the most fascinating thing to him: "Don't slap the hand that fed you." Now, the show played this as an exchange that was about Juan Pablo disrespecting the relationship he'd built on the show, but juuuuust barely concealed is what felt like it might be the real, true story: a woman who has derived a lot of financial benefit (including a splashy televised wedding) from staying on good terms with this franchise and playing along like she's supposed to, telling a guy who was in the process – the live process – of blowing off the producers that he might one day regret burning his bridges with them. They won't invite you back to do the thing I am doing right now and you'll have to get a job like a chump, you could easily imagine she might be saying.
It wasn't that the con fell apart because Juan Pablo came off like a cad. It was that the con fell apart because Juan Pablo was no shame-faced Brad Womack from a few seasons back, who allowed himself to be treated as a commitment-phobic punching bag because he chose nobody, and who in return for his cooperation got to come back and do another season. No, Juan Pablo sat on that couch, suddenly interested in his privacy, looking like every bit the self-involved, smug dude some of the women had come to believe he was. But he directed his smugness and his unpleasantness not at the women, but at the show.
In a sense, Chris Harrison and Juan Pablo Galavis were on a terrible, awkward fifth date: Harrison trying to make conversation, feeling resentful and entitled because his date wouldn't engage; Galavis glowering and bored and checked out, ticked off and ready to leave.
The con cracked in half because all of a sudden, you were watching the struggle between a network production trying to put together a neat narrative about a guy women could have fun gabbing about as a Bad Boyfriend and a guy who was not at all prepared to have that happen, regardless of whether he deserved it. There's a true story there somewhere, and it's a true story of what looks like a hugely tense taping in which everybody was genuinely, truly, really, non-pretend mad.
Now, you can go out in levels of complexity: maybe it's a true story about an entirely different con in which they persuaded the audience that they were at odds with their Bachelor; maybe that's what they wanted you to think. Or maybe "that's what they wanted you to think" is … what they wanted you to think. But somewhere here, there is a true story of television and some substantial shifts in the planning and execution of one of the few long-running reality franchises that's been this resilient (particularly given its appalling track record). A franchise, it must be said, that makes a lot of money for a lot of folks.
And Monday night, that true story was a little … fascinating.

How to profit from the veto
President Reagan's veto of a $428 billion emergency spending bill will have a salutary effect if it keeps the issue focused on the complicated US government budgeting process - and not just the politics involved in the matter of whether Congress made the right ''mix'' of cuts to meet specific reductions sought by the White House.
That both Mr. Reagan and Congress are locked in a test of political wills is hardly surprising, given the ideological differences between a Republican White House and a Democratic House, as well as sharp institutional cleavages stemming from a Congress that has sought to assert its independence from all presidents during the past decade.
But what is fundamental in the current drama, it would seem, is two-fold: First, neither the White House or Congress must let the vital services of the federal government grind to a halt because of their momentary impasse. Second, it is imperative that budgeting by ''continuing resolution'' not be allowed to become institutionalized.
Having noted that, however, it is also clear that both parties to the dispute must share the blame in the current brouhaha. According to terms of the landmark Budget Act of 1974, which sets the deadlines for the budgeting process, Congress is supposed to complete all appropriation bills by the seventh day after Labor Day, with action on a second budget resolution to be finished by Sept. 15. Congress had completed action on only one appropriations measure going into the past week - a measure that funds Congress itself. The White House, for its part, had not sent along its revised budget requests until late September, thus inhibiting action in the Senate.

Already touching new highs on the thermometer, Delhi is all set to get hotter still. The weatherman has forecast an intensification of the heat wave that has been prevalent in the Capital since Saturday. In fact, the heat wave may only abate after reaching its peak by Friday.
"An approaching western disturbance is likely to break the anticyclone over the region and moderate the intensity of the hot air advection, thereby reducing the maximum temperature by about 2 degrees Celsius from May 26 onwards," said a statement from the Delhi Regional Meteorological Centre, adding that "absence of western disturbance activity, strong hot north-westerly winds and subsidence of air due to the anticyclone over the region, have caused this type of prolonged heat wave spell of more than one week."
Meanwhile, citizens and visitors to the city will have to continue to reel under the intense heat. On Wednesday, the maximum temperature was 44.9 degrees Celsius, five degrees above normal, and the minimum was 30.3 degrees Celsius, four degrees above normal.
Thursday promises to be even hotter with the India Metrological Department forecasting a maximum temperature of 45 degrees and a minimum of 31 degrees Celsius.

ETX man who allegedly gave child STD gets hit with more charges of injury to a child
POSTED: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - 2:05pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 - 10:26am
Nacogdoches, Texas (KETK) —
The Nacogdoches County Sheriff Office has filed additional charges on Jose Ignacio Lopez of Nacogdoches for Injury to a child a first degree felony.
Sheriff Jason Bridges stated that the charges stem from a sexual assault investigation that the Sheriff Office started investigating on October 13, 2013.
The Sheriff Office was contacted by Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital in reference to a child who had been assaulted. Upon further investigation it was found that the child had been sexually assaulted by a relative that was identified as Jose Ignacio Lopez.
During this investigation it was revealed that the child is younger than six years of age and had contracted a sexual transmitted disease from the assault. A warrant was obtained for the suspect for Aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first degree felony. The suspect was arrested on that charge on October 17, and booked into the Nacogdoches County Jail.
During the ongoing investigation, Sheriff Investigators requested a forensic exam from the suspect. The results of that test have confirmed that the victim obtained the sexual transmitted disease from the suspect. Sheriff Investigators obtained another warrant for Lopez arrest on Tuesday afternoon for the injury to a Child charge and he was served with that warrant at the Nacogdoches County Jail.
Jose Ignacio Lopez bond has been set at $150,000.00 dollars on the Aggravated sexual assault charge. Lopez is awaiting arraignment on the Injury to a child charge.
Comments News Comments
Child injuries are increasing day by day and people are also becoming more cautious each day. But still there are many child injury cases in which a man was accused of giving a child STD and with more charges of injury to the child. The child is minor in age and he said to be contracted of sexual transmission diseases which are highly dangerous. Further investigations are still being continued.

Anywhere you go is gonna have a chance to skunk you unfortunately.
As Shred said, go in March. I would suggest Wolf Creek for the best pow on a budget. They may have the most of the best snow in the country. Silverton about 2x as expensive, but a different experience, lots of hiking. These 2 spots are famous for steep and deep and are going to be a fraction of the price of heli or even a cat-trip. Ok Silverton is probably not much cheaper than a cat trip after u add it all up but still....

Impressions of the 2014 Forester XT
After two days in the 250-horsepower, turbocharged 2014 Forester XT, Subaru Puma Rallycross Team (SPRT) driver Bucky Lasek declared it as "sportier looking, more aggressive, and a lot of fun to drive."
We had the vehicle – this new edition of the turbocharged Forester – and we knew just anyone wouldn't do for a driving impression. We needed someone to push the limits and prove what it could do.
We chose 17-time X Games skateboarding medalist and current SPRT driver Bucky Lasek. If he can drive his rally car off a ramp and ride a barrier with it, he'd be perfect for the challenge.
First Impression:
"The first thing I noticed when I got in the car is visibility. The mirrors moved from the windows to the doors broaden your visual and open up your perception so you can see more. There were no blind spots; you could see everywhere; there was not one pillar blocking." - Bucky Lasek
Ready or Not
As one of this magazine's staff members, I picked up the Forester XT Touring in Los Angeles. I opened up the sunroof, hit the road, and enjoyed the drive to Encinitas, California, to pick up our guest driver. It was my first time behind the wheel of a turbo model, and it was one powerful machine.
I met Bucky at 2012 Subiefest last September when I rode alongside him in his personal WRX STI for the autocross event. I recalled how his speed and command of the vehicle had made me feel giddy. I had never experienced a car driven so hard and so fast into the corners! Yet he had a smooth, calm driving style.
I had a blast then, but would this ride be the same? I knew he was a relaxed and laid-back kind of guy, but what would driving outside a closed course bring? How hard and how extreme would or could he drive in a Forester? I was about to find out.

Is there a chance we can move past the examples our parents have set forth? Or are we doomed to repeat them? Read more
Is there a chance we can move past the examples our parents have set forth? Or are we doomed to repeat them?
About this project
An NYU Tisch Thesis Film by Director Peter Cron-Barshov, Patrick & James is a small family drama about moving past the emotional baggage of the previous generation. The story follows PATRICK, 17, who's sent to live with cousin JAMES after his mom loses her job. The two teenage cousins haven't seen each other in almost a decade, and so they stumble to find common ground, quickly growing to resent one another. However, when they each learn compromising secrets about the other's family, they're both forced to decide whether or not to succumb to the same dynamic that pervades their parents' relationships and use the secrets against each other, or instead to move past it and start anew themselves. Are we doomed to repeat our parents' mistakes? Or can we break free?
What is the money going to?
The money we raise is going to supplement the budget and help manage the cost of the production. The majority of the funds have already been raised, and the money we raise now will go to help with all the things that make a film come alive: production design, professional grade lenses, wardrobe, and most importantly, food and transportation for the cast &crew!
How are we doing it?
We'll be shooting in and around Manhattan on the Red One – a professional grade digital camera that's been used to shoot such movies as The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. And because it's digital, it will help keep down cost!
When is it being shot?
Soon! We're shooting from April 11-18, so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!
The people behind the film:
Peter Cron-Barshov – Writer/Director
Lucas Woods – ProducerFreddy Meyer – Director of Photography
Essentially it's the story of two teens, who after being thrust together and learning secrets about the other, have to reevaluate their views of the world as well as each other. It's about the strength it takes to choose kindness over cruelty, the fortitude it requires to overcome our own angers and insecurities, and the courage it takes to not repeat the patterns that are laid out of us. It's a small story, but ultimately isn't it the small ones that often pack the biggest punch?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Recently I bought a new laptop, with a 17" screen. Choosing the laptop was easy. Choosing the bag to carry it turned out to be a hassle. Why? Because very few bags are designed for these larger screens. Even some bags that claim to hold 17" screens were too small for my laptop. With few choices, I was happy to find the Solo PT920.This is not a bag with wheels, nothing that doubles as a suit case. This is a carry-on bag, with a shoulder strap and a handle. Yes, it gets heavy when loaded, so make sure you can handle it, before investing in this type of bag.With its black, red, and gray tones, the bag is attractive, and unique enough to stand out, so it's easy to spot among the rest of the carry-on items. And, it's not too "girly" - my husband doesn't feel self-conscious carrying it - not like some of the bags we investigated that looked a little too purse-like for his taste.Most importantly, it holds our laptop, and quite a bit more. And it's padded in all the right places, so I feel secure that my laptop will arrive at its destination undamaged. It also has loads of extra pockets and pouches, to hold all of the accessories, and, yes, a few snacks, too.The front of the bag is a giant flap, that secures with a 3-pronged clip. You have to lift the flap to get to any of the bag's compartments. I won't lie. I wish there were a pocket or two on the outside of the flap. It would be very convenient to slip travel documents, a few bucks, or a magazine on the outside of the flap - where the items would be readily available. But this bag doesn't have any storage outside the flap, so you're constantly having to open it.Immediately under the flap is a very useful organizer. The various slots are designed for pens and pencils, and business cards. There's even a clear plastic slot where you could put your business card, or your license, something that you want to be able to see without removing. This organizer area is on the outside of a zip-out section. Within the next section are slots for file folders, and pouches for your cell phone, PDA, music player, etc. There's even a mesh pocket designed for - well - I'm not sure what. But if you want a meshed pocket, it's there. Finally, there's a built-in keychain. This entire section holds closed via zipper. And when the zipper is open, the section can be opened quite wide. This is very useful if you want to put several file folders in there, or a few thick items. Finally, open the last zipper and you'll be in the last section of the bag. The most important part of this section is the padded area for your laptop. My laptop slides in easily, in either direction. I note this because with the bigger laptops you might find that some slip in one direction, but not the other; because their backs are just too wide. So, in some bags, laptops might have to go in front-first. It's not a huge deal, just something to think about when you're scrambling to put yourself and your laptop back together, after passing through airport security.The padded section closes with a Velcro strap, which is just one more level of security, knowing that my laptop won't shift around, even if the bag tumbles a bit.Just in front of the padded section is a very wide section for accessories. This is where I put the power cord, mouse, and any cables I may need. Also, I've been known to put bags of potato chips, chocolate bars, and yes, a sandwich, in this section. Like I said, this bag carries my laptop and a bunch of other stuff, conveniently.The removable, adjustable shoulder strap contains a moveable shoulder pad. So you can adjust it any way you need to, to make the load comfortable to carry.Finally, there's one more feature, that I admit confused me at first. There's a slot in the back of the bag. The top of the slot is permanently open, no way to close it. The bottom of the slot is a zipper. So, the bottom can either be closed, or open. At first I couldn't understand why one might open it. After all, what use is slot if it's open on both ends. But a quick glance at the attached tag explained it all. With the bottom of the slot open, you can slip the entire bag onto the handle of another piece of luggage. This is extremely useful! As long as you're rolling another piece of luggage, it's very easy to slide the laptop bag right onto the other luggage's handle, so you can roll them both together. And because the laptop bag is actually strapped onto the handle, you don't have to worry about it rolling off. How clever!Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. For $45 I have a laptop bag that I trust to be well-made, sturdy, and convenient. Other than the lack of outside pockets, there are no negatives to this bag.

Nearly Half of Americans Pirate Casually, But Pirates Purchase More Legal Content

Only a narrow majority support piracy punishments, while nearly half of people pirate
The latest edition of Columbia University's American Assembly's "Copy Culture" study on piracy and American society has been published and
familiar themes
appear yet again. The study examines
copyright infringement
and public sentiments regarding punishment in the United States and Germany
In the study authored by American Assembly VP
Joe Karaganis
and Dutch freelancer/Ph.D researcher
Lennart Renkema
, it is revealed that 45 percent of U.S. citizens and 46 percent of German citizens actively pirate media. Those rates jump to nearly 70 percent when looking at younger demographics.
When it comes to peer-to-peer (P2P) pirates, the authors note an interesting correlation with legal purchases. They write:
They buy as many legal DVDs, CDs, and subscription media services as their non-file-sharing, Internet-using counterparts. In the US, they buy roughly 30% more digital music. They also display marginally higher willingness to pay.
The authors note that most pirates illegally download casually. They write:
In both countries only 14% of adults have acquired most or all of a digital music or video collection this way. Only 2%–3% got most or all of a large collection this way (>1000 songs or >100 movies / TV shows).
The study also found that while only a smaller percentage (around 22 percent in the U.S. among those under 30) copy privately from friends, the practice is more common in Germany. However, the study points out that most people in the U.S. believe private copying is legal, when in fact it carries severe criminal penalties under current, mostly unenforced, laws.
Piracy tends to be remote and pervasive, but mostly casual.
Germans tend to be more supportive of punishments for pirates; 59 percent of Germans back punishments, while only 52 percent of Americans back punishments for filesharers. In America only 37 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds support such penalties, while in Germany 56 percent of the younger demographic supports the penalties.
Only around 20 percent of people in the U.S. and Germany support stricter penalties, though, such as
disconnecting pirates from the internet
. Most are fine with content providers policing posted content and removing infringing links or sending warnings to pirates. But when it comes to stricter punishments or the premise of the
government stepping in
, support sharply drops off.
Perhaps the most interesting conclusion of the study is just how much support there is in both countries for the idea of offering an unlimited pass to media content for a monthly fee. According to the report:
Sixty-one percent of Germans would pay a small broadband fee to compensate creators in return for legalized file sharing.
Forty-eight percent of Americans would do so—a surprisingly high number given the relative invisibility of such proposals in US debates.
The median willingness to pay was $18.79 per month in the US and €16.43 in Germany.
The study found that Germans were only about half as likely pay for TV or own a smartphone (e.g. 35 percent of Americans own smartphones vs. 18 percent for Germans). A broad range of age groups in both countries own DVDs and CDs, but when it comes to digital media, younger age groups substantially outnumber older ones in ownership.
Americans tend to have larger music and DVD collections.
The study was conducted via telephone interview of 2,303 U.S. adults and 1,000 German adults. All those surveyed were over 18. The study authors make it clear that they were careful in how they worded questions to prevent respondents from feeling pressured to lie about their own piracy habits, a complaint the authors make about other studies.

RE: worth and punishment
And without record companies, music would still be created. It just wouldn't be distributed as effectively.
Perhaps my analogy is not perfect, but it gets the point I'm trying to make across. The nature of digital content makes it inherently worthless. It's the distribution of it that has always made money. You are not required to charge your friends to come over and listen to a song. You can play it as many times as you like for no additional charge. The music is free, the medium is not.
Anyways, I'm just trying to present a different way of looking at it. Music, the internet, and everything around it is entirely a human construct. We can choose to look at "what" it is in anyways we choose. I'm just trying to present a view that I think is fair to everybody. The record companies would still make LOTS of money by focusing on distribution and services, we wouldn't need lawyers or police to enforce any laws, and individuals would be free to access it in any way they choose. The hard way for free, or the easy way for a fee. This is exactly the setup the market is trying to create, and the only thing holding it back is companies with dated business models and the politicians they have in their pockets.

Discussing: character 'None'
Re: character 'None'
The drop down list from the top left of HASA pages for story finding is the same list we are working from, and I don't think we can alter this. I'll check with Ang, but just ignore it for now.
Re: character 'None'
This is a low priority fix for me. Just ignore it for now and when I have some breathing space, I'll filter that one entry out. Yllyn, keep after me on this so I don't forget.
Though I do think we could come up with a very amusing bio for "None" if we put our heads to it. Sort of like "The Life and Times of Anonymous".

34 Holiday Ideas for Gifts in a Jar
Bonus: Get our newsletter & special offers for free. We will not share or sell your email address. View our Privacy Policy
Christmas Spirit Jars
By: Marie Browning for Tombow
Take pretty jars from Tombow and turn them into lovely holiday decorations. These Christmas Spirit Jars make for great gifts. Put anything you wish inside or just make the jar itself the gift.
- Glass jars
- Two-sided decorative paper from Graphic 45, Christmas Past Collection. The samples used Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Letters to Santa
- Tombow MONO Clear Adhesive
- Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue
- Chandelier crystals
- Decorative ribbons and trims to match
- Thin gold cord
- Sandpaper
- Rhinestones
Tools: Paper trimmer, scallop edged decorative scissors, circle punches
- Cut paper strips to fit around the jar bases.
- Distress the edges of the paper with the sandpaper and use the Clear adhesive to attach to the jars.
- I used computer-generated sayings cut into strips and adhered with the Clear adhesive to add the journaling to the jars.
- For the lid tops, circle punch out chosen motifs and adhere to scalloped edged panels to fit the jar top. Use the Clear adhesive to glue the panels together and to the jar. Glue the rhinestones to the jars using MONO Multi glue.
- Cut out a motif in the shape of the chandelier crystal and glue to the back using the MONO Multi glue. Let dry then use a pin to re-open the hole and string onto gold cord.
- Tie the crystals around the neck of the jar and then the decorative ribbons and trims.
- Finish the jars by placing the ribbon and jewels inside.
Item ideas for inside of jars: Wide pleated ribbon, old jewelry pieces, crystal beads, silver charms.

text: Easter InspirationApril 8, 2012 Happy Easter Everyone!Thank for you being here on Easter Sunday and sharing your day with me.Hope that you are able to spend the day with your family and if you are not with your family today, that you are spending it doing something you love. On Saturday I hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. When the kids got there at 9am, immediately they wanted to run and grab the eggs. That is understandable. Then I escorted the families to the lounge area so they could drink fruit punch and coffee, eat donuts and fruit and relax. I wanted to make sure that all the kids could get there and everyone start together. Well….I couldn't hold them off any longer and at 9:30 I separated the little kids to a sectioned off area and set the big kids off to hunt the eggs. No joke in 10 minutes all 300 eggs were found. I never knew that kids could run that fast for eggs. I never knew that kids would push others for the eggs.I never knew parents would be grabbing tons of eggs for the kids?!I was exploding, I couldn't believe that parents would be grabbing eggs away from little tiny kids who were just so cute with their little Easter baskets and scooping them up for their 12 year old child.WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!Gah. It was crazy how ravenous people are for some simple candy in a plastic egg. BUT. On to my Easter inspirations.When I get my dream home, one day I will look to these inspirations to decorate for each and every holiday.Because I am that girl that HAS to decorate to alllll the holidays.

Logical "or"
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
b1 or b2 _or(b1, b2, …)
b1 or b2 represents the non-exclusive logical 'or' of the Boolean expressions b1, b2.
MuPAD® uses a three state logic with the Boolean constants TRUE, FALSE, and UNKNOWN. These are processed as follows:
or | TRUE | FALSE | UNKNOWN |
Boolean expressions may be composed of these constants as well as of arbitrary arithmetical expressions. Typically, equations such as x = y and inequalities such as x <> y, x < y, x <= y etc. are used to construct Boolean expressions.
_or(b1, b2, ...) is equivalent to b1 or b2 or .... This expression represents FALSE if each single expression evaluates to FALSE. It represents TRUE if at least one expression evaluates to TRUE. It represents UNKNOWN if at least one expression evaluates to UNKNOWN and all others evaluate to FALSE.
_or() returns FALSE.
Combinations of the constants TRUE, FALSE, UNKNOWN inside a Boolean expression are simplified automatically. However, symbolic Boolean subexpressions, equalities, and inequalities are not evaluated and simplified by logical operators. Use bool to evaluate such expressions to one of the Boolean constants. Note, however, that bool can evaluate inequalities x < y, x <= y etc. only if they are composed of numbers of type Type::Real. Cf. Example 2.
Use simplify with the option logic to simplify expressions involving symbolic Boolean subexpressions. Cf. Example 3.
The precedences of the logical operators are as follows: The operator not is stronger binding than and, i.e, not b1 and b2 = (not b1) and b2. The operator and is stronger binding than xor, i.e., b1 and b2 or b3 = (b1 and b2) xor b3. The operator xor is stronger binding than or, i.e., b1 xor b2 or b3 = (b1 xor b2) or b3. The operator or is stronger binding than ==>, i.e., b1 or b2 ==> b3 = (b1 or b2) ==> b3. The operator ==> is stronger binding than <=>, i.e., b1 ==> b2 <=> b3 = (b1 ==> b2) <=> b3.
If in doubt, use brackets to make sure that the expression is parsed as desired.
In the conditional context of if, repeat, and while statements, Boolean expressions are evaluated via "lazy evaluation" (see _lazy_and, _lazy_or). In any other context, all operands are evaluated.
Combinations of the Boolean constants TRUE, FALSE, and UNKNOWN are simplified automatically to one of these constants:
TRUE and not (FALSE or TRUE)
FALSE and UNKNOWN, TRUE and UNKNOWN
FALSE or UNKNOWN, TRUE or UNKNOWN
not UNKNOWN
Logical operators simplify subexpressions that evaluate to the constants TRUE, FALSE, UNKNOWN.
b1 or b2 and TRUE
FALSE or ((not b1) and TRUE)
b1 and (b2 or FALSE) and UNKNOWN
FALSE or (b1 and UNKNOWN) or x < 1
TRUE and ((b1 and FALSE) or (b1 and TRUE))
However, equalities and inequalities are not evaluated:
(x = x) and (1 < 2) and (2 < 3) and (3 < 4)
Boolean evaluation is enforced via bool:
Expressions involving symbolic Boolean subexpressions are not simplified by and, or, not. Simplification has to be requested explicitly via the function simplify:
(b1 and b2) or (b1 and (not b2)) and (1 < 2)
simplify(%, logic)
The Boolean functions _and and _or accept arbitrary sequences of Boolean expressions. The following call uses isprime to check whether all elements of the given set are prime:
set := {1987, 1993, 1997, 1999, 2001}: _and(isprime(i) $ i in set)
The following call checks whether at least one of the numbers is prime:
_or(isprime(i) $ i in set)
delete set:

Rio Branco (White River) is a Brazilian city, capital of the state of Acre. Located in the valley of the Acre River in northern Brazil, it is the most populous county in the state, with 305,954 inhabitants – almost half the state population, according to a 2009 estimate. Rio Branco was one of the first settlements to appear on the banks of the Acre River. In 1913 it became a county. In 1920 it became the capital of the territory of Acre, and in 1962, the state capital. It is the administrative center for the economic and cultural region. [edit] Research Tips

Hello! This blog is dedicated to otome games and other things related to a maiden's heart. As you can see, not only does this place host my playthroughs to help me keep track of the games I've played and scenes from those games, but it also acts as a nice way to share my hobbies and interests with all of you! It will also include some translations of drama CDs that I found interesting, or that have been requested through giveaways, and even podcasts about ambiguous topics. Basically, I'll be using this blog as my personal storehouse for otome-related things.
I usually go by the name of Ilinox on the internet, so if you see someone with that name then it's probably me. Officially, I have a flavors page that'll show you most of the places you can find me at. Don't be afraid of striking up a conversation with me because I enjoy meeting new people! PS. I'm also a fanatic kaomoji user so you'll probably see tons of _(:3」∠)_ in my posts and other weird faces. I try not to curse everywhere, but I confess that I have a bit of a dirty mouth.
Now onto some interesting things! My Japanese is semi-fluent, if you could even call it that, and so my translations aren't high quality but they try to convey the gist of things. This is basically a disclaimer to warn people from taking my translations as gospel. Also, any playthroughs I do about otome games include my opinions which anyone can feel free to disagree with so long as they do it in a polite and courteous manner. This is the internet, but let's try to be civil. Hmm… what else? I'm 21, female, graduated with a degree in Psychology and Philosophy, and am now currently working in the legal field (OBJECTION!); so I won't be able to guarantee rapid-fire updates… _(:3」∠)_ being responsible adult is full of despair along with fate.
My interests! I'm very eclectic in my tastes and approach to things and so I have a foot in both western culture and eastern culture. I'm neutral towards manga, which leads to me usually reading only short one-shots or interesting ones. To me manga is basically an extension of my otome gaming habit. I used to watch a lot of anime, but lately I can't seem to keep my attention on it. I absolutely love reading though and I will eagerly devour any material that catches my interest. I actually have a Goodreads account that showcase all the books I've read (that I can remember) and my ratings for them. Once again otome games are an extension to this love.
Another great love in my life is writing. I adore writing, even though I don't think I'm very good at it, and so if you're sneaky stalkerish enough you might find some of my writings floating around. This is probably what causes me to have the bad case of TL;DRitis as you can tell from my otome game posts. I just go on and on and on and you really don't want me to get started on analyzing any of my favorite characters.
I'm also the type of person that wants to know something about everything and that makes me curious as a cat and eager to try new things. It probably makes me annoying to be around when I'm constantly asking "Why?" or "Tell me more!" haha. I'm not religious and would prefer to be called agnostic, but I have a budding interest in paganism. Hmm, I'm also a video gamer at heart and sometimes I disappear for days to play other games (I adore FPS for some reason, but also things like Dark Souls, etc.), MMORPGS, RPGs, puzzle games, Bioware and Bethesda games, and real-time strategy games like League of Legends.
Now for some REALLY random stuff:
- What is your favorite word and why?
- Transience, because nothing in life is permanent. I don't mean this in a depressing way because change can be something scary but necessary and amazing.
- What trait in people do you value the most?
- Confidence and ambition! I admire those who are independent and know what they want in life and what to do to get it.
- Conversely, what is the one trait that you can't stand in people?
- Unconfidence…?
//bricked. Probably clinginess in all aspects of life and a weak will.
- Unconfidence…?
- If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you take with you?
- Apple chips, my iPhone, and a broom _(:3」∠)_.
- Three things you absolutely want to accomplish before you die?
- Own a dog, publish a book, and have one fantastic romance.
- What do you think lies beyond death?
- Either nothingness or hopefully a reincarnation… wheel.
- What's one of your biggest pet peeves?
- People who lack critical thinking! Talking to a yes-person makes me want to scream or talking to someone who argues without any basis or supporting facts.
- Your house catches on fire! What is your first thought? What will you salvage first?
- "I can't believe my house is on fire!" and probably my laptop, wallet, and phone since they're all in the same place.
- If you were reborn, what would you want to be, aside from a human, and why?
- Wolf! No hesitance or doubt about that but I'd also enjoy flying and I've been quite partial towards crows.
- If you got a tattoo, of what and where would you get it?
- Probably some ~*mysterious*~ Latin phrase. Or most likely 浅き夢見じ 酔ひもせず between my shoulder blades _(:3」∠)_. I think getting rosettes like those on a snow leopard on my hips would be cool too.
I'll answer some classical questions too. My favorite animals are wolves, ravens, and snow leopards. My favorite color is blue because I adore all shades of it. I am in love with musicals (Elizabeth Wein and Phantom of the Opera are my favorites). I can growl pretty impressively. I love the themes of winter, snow, and the moon and I'm passionately moody at times. Lastly, I say "fight me" a lot for someone who is only 5'6″ and walks into walls and doors a lot.
My character fetishes! I really like the anti-hero trope and so I'm usually attracted to characters who toe the line between being righteous and evil it's a bonus if they have an eyepatch, cape, cravat, or gloves. Actually, my favorite characters can pretty much be summed up by how they are all afflicted by a tragic human flaw that makes them do terrible things. I also love the star-crossed lovers trope and so any character that is extremely devoted but has trouble attaining that love or a love leads them to do something awful like destroy the world is one that I like. This is a bit different from the yandere trope because these guys usually don't do anything towards the heroine and instead affect the world around them. In general, I can appreciate all kinds of characters as long as their stories are well written. The type of characters I'm least interested in are shotas and tsunderes though.
The characters that I am fanatic over right now can be found on my list of biases. I'll most likely be updating it periodically because it's interesting to see the people I'm attracted to in games. (Currently, it looks like I'm attracted to men with power or something because over half of them are kings and princes… UHH… I swear I don't have a megalomaniac fetish).
My favorite gaming platforms are the PC and PSP. I used to prefer PC otome games because ATLAS and AGTH were extremely helpful but playing without any translating aids (this includes playing otome games on the PSP) has made my Japanese improve enormously. For other games I prefer the PC version over any consoles unless the game is graphics-intensive in which case I'd use my PS3. I'm a Sony fan all the way though I do have a DS and 3DS.
Lastly, but most importantly, this blog is a place for me to have fun and to share the fun I have. Therefore, while I'll be trying my best to fulfill requests and complete any games I've started, I don't want this place to feel like a chore or a heavy responsibility. What I do promise is that any game that I have started a post about will eventually be completed; I can't bear to leave things undone. That's all and so I hope anyone who passes by enjoys my blog! Please feel free to comment on any page no matter how old it is and I promise that I'll make an effort to respond to every comment.
