The UK's consumer watchdog, the Office of Fair Trading, has published the results of its consultation into the business practices of games providers, with a particular focus on the relationship between such products and the children who may access them.
The consultation began in April. The published results come at a very interesting time for the social gaming industry, particularly those who offer social games with casino-style dynamics, as the debate around whether such products should be the subject of licensing requirements continues within the regulator community. It is not uncommon to read claims that such games are "unregulated". The impact of this study is likely to be felt within the development community and adds weight to its claim that their activities are far from unregulated.
Whilst the industry itself discusses concepts such as "best practice" and "self-regulation", the OFT has published a draft set of 8 "Principles" that will need to be adopted and that seek to ensure the proper recognition of consumer legislation by developers.
It will be interesting to see the form the proposed enforcement takes, stated to commence in April. Before then, the draft Principles, themselves, are subject to further consultation ending on 21 November.
This is an important time for the social gaming community. The OFT's position is based on EU-wide consumer legislation, so the impact of this study may be felt across the Continent as other Member States pay closer attention to the social gaming phenomenon.

Todd Scott Gwinn
31109 Harbor Vista Circle
My most recent background is 2nd class sheet metal mechanic with British Areonautical Engineering, where I worked as a civilian for the Department of Defense, building and repairing navy vessels. All under government contracts. I also was in the residential hvac field as a service tech and progressed to head installer at Superior Service in St. Augustine. Once I developed my install technique, I pursed commercial work at Quality Sheetmetal in Jax. After a extensive range of knowledge I aquired through hands on training, I was awarded with the title job foreman. With further experience, I was able to aquire communication skills that are a must in any industry. Now having 8 yrs of experience, I am looking for the stable, sound work enviroment of the hvac community.
In applying for this position I hope to further develop my install skills by experiencing new environments and new challenges at this position. By this opportunity I hope to bring a safe and productive employee to your company, for expansion and development.
Employment History
October 2010- February 2011: Bae, Jacksonville, Florida, United States Number one goal on daily basis is safety first. As a second class mechanic, my duties were removal, install, and fabrication of new material or existing. Working with and helping others to complete tasks as safe and as timely as possible.
April 2007– February 2010: job foreman
Quality Sheetmetal, Jacksonville, Florida, United States
All coordination with G.C., other trades, and fellow employees, for a timely safe matter of job completion. Install all material in safe and timely manner to meet specs of job requirements. Experience walk through with inspectors, general foreman's, and business owners. Operated heavy equipment such as lull's and front end loaders to place material on site.
January 2006– April 2007: installer
Cool Climate, Jacksonville, Florida, United States
Coordinate the installment of all material with my field supervisor, G.C., and other trades on job site. Maintain safety and thoroughness throughout extended time period for job completion. Operated sissor lifts and front end loaders and lull's to install material.
March 2003– January 2006: service tech/installer
Superior Service, Saint Augustine, Florida, United States
Run Service calls as requested by homeowners, diagnose repair, or replace as required. Ruff in new construction homes in safe and timely manner.
Interpersonal Skills
Over the course of my career, I have gained important skills in effective communication and safety. In particular, during the 4 years I worked for Quality Sheetmetal, I learned highly effective team building and coordination skills. I believe my experience gives me a valuable understanding of work place dynamics and relationships that will contribute to my ability to excel in the present position, working with a wide variety of co-workers and superiors.

"Pupils enjoy school and are enthusiastic about their learning. They are welcoming, especially to pupils who arrive midway through the year….Pupils behaviour outside of lessons is exemplary…Pupils have high moral expectations of themselves and others" - OFSTED 2014

Great News! Results!
If you go to the department of education league able web site http://www.telegraph.co.uk/a/11285117#area/Leicester/138081) you will find out that the school did very well in the national tests for 11 year olds in 2014!
For example 78% of the children obtained a grade 4 or above in Reading, writing and mathematics. The national figure was 79% and the Local Authority figure was 75% In reading 89% of children obtained a level 4 or above compared to 85% in Leicester and equivalent to the national figure. 51% of the children obtained a level 5 in reading compared to 44% in Leicester and a national figure of 50%. These are the best results that the school has ever had in reading!
The writing and maths results were also very good with a slight blip in the spelling punctuation and grammar test.
The tests are only an assessment of one aspect of the life of the school. We have many new arrivals at the school and many children whose first language is not English. It is therefore ridiculous to compare us to other schools who do not have children from these backgrounds. The fact that we are able to reach the national average in these subjects is testament to the staff, children and parents who must all be working incredibly hard to reach this level.
The following is a quote from the General Secretary of the Head teachers' organisation "If we aspire to greatness in our schools we must unleash the motivation and talent of those who work in them. League tables do not do this, they distract, distort and depress. We need accountability, but it must be nuanced and informative, not crude and superficial."

FSU's baseball team has an intangible quality that has continued to impress coach Mike Martin all season long.
He simply sums it up as "fight."
Martin's club is full of scrappers who are well versed in dealing with adversity. Sometimes they've overcome that adversity this season, sometimes they haven't. But they never fold, as exhibited in FSU's 5-4 10-inning victory over Mercer in the opening game of the NCAA tournament on Friday night.
Perhaps no player is better equipped to deal with the daily ups and downs of baseball than Josh Delph. For that reason, Martin felt a sense of ease when the unassuming and unflappable senior fielder stepped up to the plate with the game tied at 4-4 in the 10th inning against Mercer.
With runners on second and third, and with one out, the normally patient Delph – who finished 2 for 5 – fell down 0-2 in the count after getting way ahead of two pitches.
"I was in a state of shock, but he shows what he's all about," Martin said.
He battled back to get to a...Read more
One contender is withdrawing from the FSU starting quarterback battle this fall, with John Franklin opting to transfer.
Franklin's high school coach at South Plantation, Doug Gatewood, confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel Franklin put in for his transfer from FSU this week.
"He doesn't know where yet," Gatewood told the Sentinel via text message. "He is just looking for an opportunity."
A rising sophomore, Franklin was considered the No. 2 quarterback this spring behind Sean Maguire, although the school did not release an official depth chart. Franklin missed the spring game with an injury while freshmen De'Andre Johnson and J.J. Cosentino played well in the scrimmage. FSU recently added Notre Dame transfer Everett Golson, who is expected to push for the starting job. Golson's arrival could have been the tipping point for Franklin.
Franklin, also a track standout, moved to wide receiver early last season but eventually shifted back to quarterback. Franklin played in just two games at FSU...Read more
Jalen Ramsey is one of three members of FSU's track team already punch his ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Ramsey, also a standout defensive back for the Seminoles, finished fourth in the long jump at the NCAA East Preliminary on Thursday, while teammates Stefan Brits and Paul Madzivire placed seventh and eighth, respectively, out of a field of 48 competitors.
With the strong showings, all three athletes will compete in the NCAA championships, a first in school history.
"It's never happened in school history, so that's exciting," FSU coach Bob Braman said in a release.
Braman's statement continued with a hint towards Ramsey's future in football.
"Those guys are all potential national scorers and we knew Paul and Stefan are special when they're healthy," Braman said. "This is just the next step – senior, senior and NFL first-round draft pick. They will all go out together."
Ramsey, a rising junior, will be eligible to declare for the NFL Draft after this upcoming...Read more
FSU is part of arguably the most difficult region in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.
The Seminoles host the region and begin tournament play 6 p.m. Friday against Mercer, a small program with several big-time hitters. It only gets more challenging after that as FSU faces the winner of College of Charleston vs. Auburn (noon, Friday), two teams with a rankings percentage index inside top 25.
Below is a detailed breakdown of FSU and the other teams in the Tallahassee region.
No. 1 seed – 41-19, 17-13 in ACC
National rank/RPI: 10th/9th
Areas to watch
--Starting pitching. The Seminoles have a formidable duo in battle-tested junior Mike Compton (4-3, 2.83 ERA) – who is 2-1 with a 3.63 ERA in four NCAA tournament starts – and sophomore Boomer Biegalski (7-4, 2.84 ERA). Experience among Biegalski and freshman Drew Carlton (4-5, 4.45 ERA) is somewhat of a concern, but the two youngsters performed well in the ACC tournament.
--Patience at the plate. FSU's coaches preach patient...Read more
Perhaps the biggest obstacle ahead of FSU QB Everett Golson is learning Jimbo Fisher's notoriously complex playbook, at least enough of it make Fisher feel comfortable naming him the starting signal caller in when the season begins in September.
Golson, who announced earlier this month that he's transferring to FSU from Notre Dame, is going to get every opportunity to earn a starting spot in Tallahassee. But first he must show Fisher that he can grasp the intricate concepts of FSU's pro-style offense and then apply what he's learned on the field.
So far, Golson appears to be putting in the work to get himself acclimated with an offense that is fairly different from what he ran at Notre Dame.
Fisher, according to a story from Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman, FedExed Golson a thick copy of FSU's playbook right after he announced his decision to transfer.
Golson, who is currently working out with self-proclaimed quarterback guru George Whitfield – who notoriously worked with former FSU QB Jameis...Read more
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher has made it a point to take care of his assistant coaches in both of the contract extensions he's signed the past two years.
Fisher, in the latest contract extension he signed in January, received an extra $750,000 to spend on his coaching staff, extending the FSU's assistant-coaching pool to more than $4.2 million annually.
FSU released public records of amendments for all football assistants' contracts on Thursday, lending insight into how the extra money was disseminated. According to documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel and other local media outlets, FSU assistants are set to make $4,264,000 this year, nearly a $900,000 difference from last season (the staff made $3,375,000 combined, according to public records.)
Part of that increase comes from the departure of defensive ends coach Sal Sunseri, who left this offseason for a similar position with the Oakland Raiders. Sunseri was making $200,000 with FSU and was a bargain given his experience because he...Read more

Covey attracts crowd, but the opponents shine, too
Jim Ecker
Friday, October 23, 2009
JUPITER, Fla. -- The scouts came to watch Dylan Covey throw 96 mph fastballs and nasty curveballs in the BBWA World Championship here Friday night. They got what they came for, and much, much more.
Jimmy Hodgskin and Dashorn Lake combined to pitch a no-hitter as FTB Mizuno spanked Covey and the San Gabriel Valley Arsenal, 8-0, on the second day of the tournament at the Roger Dean Sports Complex.
Covey had eye-popping stuff, as usual, but he also had mild control problems and surrendered an unearned run in three innings. He struck out six batters with his sizzling fastball and sharp-breaking curve, but walked two batters, plunked another and uncorked a wild pitch. He allowed one hit.
Hodgskin and Lake were unhittable and stole part of the spotlight.
Hodgskin, a talented lefthander from Windermere, Fla., flashed a 91 mph fastball and a sharp curveball during his three innings. He struck out six batters, walked one and showed good control. Lake, a 6-2 righthander from the Virgin Islands, reached 94 on the radar gun and gave scouts something extra to savor with four strikeouts in two innings. Hodgskin, a senior, has committed to Troy University. Lake is a junior, and his performance undoubtedly improved his status with pro and college scouts.
"I felt good about the performance," said Lake. "I feel like I did a great job today. I went out and did what I had to do. I felt I contributed to the win."
The scouts packed in tight behind home plate, mostly to see Covey, an Aflac All-American who could be a first-round pick in the draft next June. There was an electric atmosphere as he warmed up at 94 mph, then went higher as the game began.
"I thought it was pretty intense," Covey said, referring to all the eyes in the crowd, "but I just tried not to think about it and throw strikes and try to do my job."
Covey has pitched before numerous scouts before, especially when he starred in this tournament a year ago, but he thought there were more scouts here Friday night.
"Last year, I came here and all the scouts were here for the Kansas City Royals team," said Covey, a senior from Pasadena, Calif. "It was kind of funny, because I was basically noone before that game and they were all there for the Kansas City team. It was kind of weird, looking around and seeing everyone there."
Covey starred against Kansas City last year with 17 strikeouts and a complete game, putting himself on the map. He's still there, near the top of everyone's list of amateur pitchers, but he was a stranger to the opposing pitchers Friday night.
"I didn't really know the kid I was throwing against," said Hodgskin. "I just knew they had a good team and it was going to take a lot to beat them. Our offense and defense got it together and we won the ballgame. Nice."
Lake didn't know Covey, either, but he enjoyed the atmosphere that Covey helped create. "It was a lot of people," he said. "I had butterflies."
Hodgskin said he also enjoyed the atmosphere. "I loved it," he said. "It was great playing in it, a lot of adrenaline. It was fun, real fun."
Covey's team trailed, 1-0, when he departed after three innings. The winners scored six runs in the fifth inning to end the game with the eight-run mercy rule.

Tennessee Power Supply

Temperatures Set Records, But TVA Says Power Demand Won't
Although our area is seeing record-setting temperatures this week, the Tennessee Valley Authority doesn't expect any records for power usage. Last week, the utility indefinitely suspended any non-essential maintenance minimize the risk of power interruptions.
The TVA expects electricity demand to reach nearly 32,000 megawatts this evening.
The utility saw its all-time winter demand record of 32,572 megawatts in January of 2009, with temperatures of 9 degrees; but it was summer when the TVA's all-time record was set in August of 2007, at 33,482 megawatts, with temperatures above 100 degrees.

overlay transparecy between applications (like STB has)
Hi guys, I am using linux for a few years now, but I did never program any applications for it.
I would like to know if it is possible without any major programming to get STB overlay behaviour on linux. This means if I can use one of video players and browser, and get video shown through browser if I set the right background colour on web page which browser is showing.
Is this also different for every graphic card and driver, or X has this already included and can be used with all drivers.
If this is not possible without programming, can somebody point me in the right direction, maybe where can I find some documentation.

Chateau Montrose La Dame de Montrose 2010
Bordeaux Red Blends from St. Estephe, Bordeaux, France
Winemaker's Notes
Dense black color, with violet highlights. Complex nose with notes of morello cherry, raspberry, dark tobacco, Havana, and a touch of vanilla. It has a long finish on neat tannins. Recurring notes of raspberry, vanilla and mocha. Discreetly wooded.
Blend: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "One of the best second wines, and possibly the best since the 1990 is the 2010 La Dame de Montrose. This represents 36% of the production and is a blend of two grapes – 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot. A superb second wine, opulent and substantively textured, it shares more in common with a flamboyant, exuberant year such as 2009 than most 2010s. Dense purple, its oodles of fruit, luxurious mouthfeel and terrific finish make it a sleeper of the vintage. It's a wine to buy in abundant quantities and drink over the next 10-15+ years."
Wine Enthusiast - "Montrose's second wine has something of the same gravity as the top wine from the estate. It shows firm tannins as well as black currant fruits. These flavors are followed by spice, leather and drying tannins. It does have a sense of elegance that promises well for its mid-term aging."
James Suckling - "Wonderful aromas of blueberries, spices and chocolate with a hazelnut undertone. Creamy texture. Full and very fine with lovely texture and spices and berries. Currants too. Long and gorgeous. Second wine of Montrose."
Wine Spectator - "A textbook example of the vintage and appellation, showing a bright savory edge, a chalky spine and mouthwatering damson plum, red currant and cherry pit notes. Displays enough grip to warrant short-term cellaring, and should stretch out well over the mid-term."

Chateau Montrose Winery
At Château Montrose, the terroir's potential is optimised on the basis of a very simple winemaking philosophy, summarised by Jean Bernard Delmas as follows: "wine is made in the vines and not in the winery." In other words, fine wine can only be made with good grapes. The finest terroir and best vineyard plots on the estate were identified many years ago. Vineyard work and winemaking methods are guided by a global,common-sense approach to the soil/vine/climate system.
Château Montrose overlooks the Gironde Estuary. In fact, the proximity of this vast body of water (called locally "The River") is a major advantage. The estuary is responsible for maintaining a mild microclimate and toning down extremes of temperature. Helped by the presence of nearby marshes, it provides remarkable air conditioning in the summer while also compensating for the rigours of the winter.
The large gravel found throughout the estate's topsoil originated in mountains in the Massif Central and the Pyrenes. These pebbles absorb the sun's heat during the daytime and release it at night. This is an important way of improving the maturity of the grape. View all Chateau Montrose Wines
About St. EstepheView a map of St. Estephe wineries (saint ess-TEFF)
St.-Estèphe is the northernmost of the 4 communes hugging the Dordogne river in the Northern Haut-Médoc area of Bordeaux. While the appellation has no premier crus (first growths) of its own, it's southernmost chateau, Cos d'Estournel, is a highly acclaimed second growth, geographically separated from the famed Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac by only a stream. Many believe Cos d'Estournel consistently produces wine of a first growth level.
Notable FactsWine from St-Estèphe typically matures more slowly than its southern counterparts. The soil is heavy and rich with clay, leading to wines with firm, muscular tannins and high acidity. Dark and opaque in color, the wines can be a bit austere in their youth, though most get softer as they age. Cabernet Sauvignon is the primary grape in most of the region's blends, although Merlot is important in helping to soften the wines. In volume, St-Estèphe creates the most wines of the top four Haut-Médoc communes. There are quite a few Cru Bourgeois properties, which are more approachable when young and, even better, lower in price. To get a feel for St-Estèphe, look for Cru Bourgeois like Chateau Haut-Beauséjour.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Chateau Montrose 2010 prices above $200 these days. La Dame is their second wine and has all the merits of this second great growth but is vinified to mature slightly earlier.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Toward Melanthius
Cassini looks into the 245-kilometer (150-mile) wide crater Melanthius in this view of the southern terrain on Tethys. The crater possesses a prominent cluster of peaks in its center which are relics of its formation.
Notable here is a distinct boundary in crater abundance -- the cratering density is much higher in the farthest western terrain (left side of the image) than elsewhere.
North on Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across) is up and rotated 45 degrees to the left.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 23, 2006 at a distance of approximately 120,000 kilometers (75,000 miles) from Tethys and at a Sun-Tethys-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 29 degrees. Image scale is 715 meters (2,345 feet) per pixel.

Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks (edition 2012)

Maphead: Charting the Wide, Weird World of Geography Wonks by Ken Jennings
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Loved this book! If you read moonwalking with Einstein, this is an even better written, quirky deep dive into the world of mapnerds. Awesomely fun.
To read and enjoy such a great book only to realize that one fully qualifies as a "Maphead" oneself is a bit of a shock. Do you mean that - just because like the author - one kept an Atlas by the childhood bedside, just because one could read a compass before actual reading, one's hippocampus node is extended? What a shock! Whatever can we do?
Did you know that a London "cabbie' who has passed that strenuous test of 'The Knowledge' so he can vocally drive the examiner from any destination to another without a single mistake ("Ah no Lad, sorry. That street became one-way last month. Come back in three months and try again')not only has a larger hippocampus but that it continues to grow as long as he keeps to his trade?
Did you know that a lady, unable to navigate her husband from a Rand McNally road atlas without 'turning it up the right way' when heading south (or north) invented and published a two-page (Noth left, South right) atlas series for fellow suffers? (see http://www.librarything.com/work/88210).
Well yes, I did and I have 30 or so books about maps, charts, latitude and other 'spatial skills' that I reread. I can still (thanks to my Royal Naval Dad) plot a "cocked hat" navigation fix, based on DED reckoning from charts (maps). I can read a map, find countries around the world (been there ...) But I little realized how much of a map-nerd that made me until I read this splendid, witty, book.
Do read it.
I suspect your feelings about this book will largely be based on how much the subject resonates for you. I'm not as deeply in love with maps as some of the people described here (or the author, for that matter), but I have always loved maps. Reading about the worlds of fellow map lovers was a fun and insight-filled journey.
Perhaps I'm not as much of a map lover as I thought I was. Ken Jenning's latest book is similar to his trivia one: he tells a short story which leads to a discussion about a bigger topic. Here, we get topics like map collectors, geocaching, and world creating. The chapters are fair -- filled with fun facts and several ideas if one wants to explore further. I am slightly relieved, though, that the mystery behind the Games-magazine advertised Valentine's Day Massacre scavenger hunt has now been revealed: if Jennings struggled with finding answers for the map game, how can any of us mere mortals compete?
My favorite map story: My sister purchased a gigantic National Geographic world map as I headed out to college. It took up a good portion of my wall. One of my dorm-mates walked in and exclaimed, "Wow! That's like ... life-sized!"
LT Haiku:
True map geeks unite!
Secret meeting spot hidden
in endnotes. (Joking.)
Being a map lover, although not an obsessed map nerd such as Jennings describes in his book, I had mixed reactions to Maphead. Jennings himself comes off as the obsessive compulsive data collector that one might expect from a Jeopardy champion. He includes plenty of fascinating "facts" in his book & I did enjoy much of this. I enjoyed the first chapters most, since these deal with maps & map collectors as I know & appreciate them, even the fantasy world makers & mappers. I was particularly enthralled by the chapter about the map collection at the Library of Congress. Jennings then proceeds from historical maps to all manner of obsessive life list games of collection that involve geography or maps in some way. I found these chapters much less interesting in the same way that I find birdwatching with life listers annoying. Or any type of artificial score keeping. I just don't understand gaming fever I guess. As a starting point, a to do list, say of visiting all the National Parks, isn't a bad program. It can start you off in a direction. But when it becomes a manic drive to check off points, I lose interest in such activities. Jennings includes chapters on the Geography Bee kids; the club for traveler's who have "visited" 100 or more countries (amusing how they parse what a country is); Highpointers (they tag the highest elevation point in each state); road geeks; geocachers (the "litter" involved in this game appalls me, all those tupperware containers, film canisters & pill bottles niched into the landscape at practically every conceivable point); GPS gamers of all persuasions; Google Earthers, etc.
Eighteenth century English essayist Charles Lamb insightfully proclaimed, "Nothing is more important than space and time—yet nothing is less important, because I never think of them." While geography, the social science discipline most aligned with considerations of spatial relationships over time, was of supreme importance to society in earlier centuries, in recent decades its stature has declined markedly.
Though individuals today enjoy unprecedented choices about their place choices—in which they might live and work, eat and meet and connect, learn and play, shop and travel, exercise, heal and rest, worship and prosper—and contemporary culture, society, and commerce are ever more influenced by what happens in other places, yet people's knowledge about places is less rather than more.

It comes as no surprise that, as a kid, Jeopardy! legend Ken Jennings slept with a bulky Hammond world atlas by his pillow every night. Maphead recounts his lifelong love affair with geography and explores why maps have always been so fascinating to him and to fellow enthusiasts everywhere. Jennings takes readers on a world tour of geogeeks, from the London Map Fair to the computer programmers at Google Earth. Each chapter delves into a different aspect of map culture: highpointing, geocaching, road atlas rallying, even the "unreal estate" charted on the maps of fiction and fantasy. He also considers the ways in which cartography has shaped our history, suggesting that the impulse to make and read maps is as relevant today as it has ever been.--From publisher description.… (more)

Single parents' dating experiences can, unfortunately, be riddled with faux pas. For example, you think everything is going well, until the guy lets it slip that he doesn't want kids, ever. Or, the woman you're dating confides in you that she can't stand her niece and nephew - just when you were ready to tell her about the precious angels waiting for you back home!
Read about some of our readers' worst dating nightmares:
My boyfriend won't accept my kids.
- Four years ago I dated someone younger with no kids for 2 1/2 years. He is from a middle eastern country and I liked the fact that he was fresh with no kids. We talked about getting married. He would stay and always liked his own space. We split up after 2 1/2 years as I started feeling it was too separate. He'd go out too much and we were not going out together. He found kids hard and we split. I was devastated. After 1 1/2 years we got back together. Now it's been four, but he says we will get married and get a house. Then he is now saying wait for the children to grow up, as he can't bring them up with me. It's very hard. He's young, and he doesn't want mess his life up. I said, "But we are a unit." I want another baby with him. He says I have to wait. I'm 37, and he's 31. What do I do, as I am nuts about him! He will see me in his place, but he knows I am at home with my kids every night. He won't stay unless they are at school. He still won't see them, after all this time. And they used to call him daddy!
- —atlantis777
Bonding - No Go
- I ended up pretty much best friends with a mate I knew, and eventually he asked me out. He knew I had a 6 month old son at the time, and he had seen him when we had met up as friends, so they had already started to bond a little. Well, less than 6 months down line and the fella started to act weird and withdrawn. So I openly discussed things with him, and it turns out he wasn't feeling the whole role model dad situation, and he said my son wasn't his and he didn't want to bring a kid up who wasn't his! Well, that just baffled me! After one year of being around my son, he blew him out of the picture! I've totally lost faith in any daters that come along because I doubt any would really stick by me. The funny thing is, though, I never pressure any of them and I don't want them to be a babysitter, either - just a boyfriend and role model to my son.

I Can Relate to "gottwins12"
- I am a single mother of 2, and I have my kids all the time, except for every other weekend. As a single mother "dating" has not been the problem, but finding someone really interested in me and my kids - with potential for creating a beautiful relationship - is the problem. Men will be okay with me having kids, they are even okay with being around them and doing family activities, but they will never commit.
- —Paloma123
Date My Family
- Here is my quick story. I watched my Dad marry three different times. His marriage failed all three times. The reason was mainly due to the lack of relationship between the family of his wife and himself. The children were also a catalyst to the relationship in his POV. This is where the statement "when you date someone you not only date that person, but you also date their family" comes from. People need to understand this. It is not just about two people. A long-lasting relationship will include a strong relationship with both parties' families. The spark of the relationship at the beginning does not last forever. So what's left after that? Build your family. ~Rickie at datemyfamily.com

Our Breakup Left My Daughter Sad & Hurt
- Several years ago, I ran into an old high school boyfriend. Back then, I was not allowed to see him and we had to end it and went our own ways. More than 20 years went by and we ran into each other and started dating again. We both are single parents, and we were happy to be together again. I have a 7-year-old daughter (D.) who loves him and his 14-year-old daughter (L.), but she has been problematic with me and D. No matter what I tried, I was unwanted and her dad stood by her and supported her. I was diagnosed with cancer and went through the treatment with little support from them. L. was awful to me while I was being treated and she was jealous of D. I am now recovered and D. and myself are on our own. We sometimes see him and L., but it still turns out tense and unwelcoming. D. is in love with being a family and having a big sister, and this breaks my heart.

Done Dating Single Moms
- Dating a single mom was one the worst mistakes that I have ever made. At first I had an open mind about it but, after dealing with baby daddy drama, her kids, dirty diapers, manipulation, and getting cheated on, I decided that I've had enough. At this point l'm not even sure if I ever want to get married - let alone have kids. In fact, recently there was a beautiful women that I met at my job who had two kids, and she was really digging me, but when she asked for my number, I was completely honest with her. I said "I don't want you to get the wrong idea, but I've had too many bad experiences with dating single moms, and I don't want to take that out on you." She was hurt, but she understood. I have nothing against single moms, but it's just not for me. My experience shows me that it's just too much of a hassle.
A Stinky Situation!
- I had a bad experience with my new boyfriend's child, who is 12. My new boyfriend and I dated briefly but broke it off because he was getting custody of his son. After 6 months of being miserable without him, he recently told me he was ready for a relationship, and within 10 days we got back together. I am head over heels about him and we were edging towards a deeper relationship. The problem happened after a few weeks of dating, when his child put his butt in my face and began to fart over and over again. I had to wrestle him to get it out of my face. His dad said it was the child's way warming up to me. I didn't agree. A week later, after our first all-day nature trip, the child did it again during dinner. I told him to stop three times, but he laughed at me as I left the room embarrassed and red faced. I told my boyfriend I felt hurt that he did nothing about his child's bad behavior and left. I wasn't raised to disrespect adults!

Wait...You Just Thought of That Now?
- I had been dating a very nice, successful man who knew I had a 3-year-old daughter right from word go. He met her and seemed interested in her and me, until 4 months later when he told me that his parents (this is a fully grown man) wouldn't like the fact that I had a child and that it wasn't in their plans for him to bring up another man's child! I told him I had thought he was a better man than that and he would never find anyone as good as me or my daughter again. It still hurt though!

"I Don't Want to Marry into a Family."
- I was on a first date with a guy who was aware that I have a son. About midway into the date he looked straight at me and told me that he wasn't interested in marrying into a ready-made family. My jaw dropped. To make it worse, he asked me if I was looking for a father for my son. I looked right at him and said that my son has a father, and I'm not looking for a replacement. I then told him that I wasn't interested in getting married again any time soon. I have no desire to see him again!

Grown-Up Child Upset By My Dating
- I date a guy who is in his 30's . I am older than him, more than 10 years, but we get along great. My adult daughter is furious with me for seeing a guy younger than myself. She has cut me from her life. I feel I have the right to see whomever I like, and do not bring him around my kids. She has cut me off seeing my grandbabies, and that hurt me so much! I not sure how to handle this one.
- —Guest confused
"Just Give Them to Your Ex"
- I met a great guy who knew about my two sons and seemed to be okay with it because his mother was also a single mother. I thought he was wonderful until I started having some trouble with my ex-husband about custody. My boyfriend just tells me, "Just give them to him and we can move in together." I was flabergasted! Soon after this we ended our relationship.
- —Guest Erika
"Oh, by the way..."
- Well, I have an even crazier one. I met a guy who was successful, a policeman, high ranked, and attractive. We talked for extended periods of time on the phone. One night we met up after work to talk. And that's when he hit me with, "Oh, by the way, I'm married, but we're only together for our children, so when can we go see a movie or something?" That is when I exited stage right and deleted his number. I think I'll just stay single for a while.
- —Guest Stayingasinglemom
Psycho Torture
- I was dating a guy who was not very comfortable with my child, only to realize later that he had a child of his own! When I asked him about it, he said "But you also have one, so it's balancing."
- —Guest jacqueline
Wow...Did You Just Say That?
- I was dating a guy who knew about both of my kids and the fact that I was breastfeeding my daughter. Things were going well between us until things began to get intimate. Then, he would get highly irritated if I ever had to feed her. It even got to the point that he would ask every time he saw me either, "When are you gonna wean her?" or " I thought you said that she was in the process of giving up breastfeeding?" That totally made me lose interest in him because obviously he was so concerned with how he was being affected that he didn't care how she was adjusting.
- —Guest princessmom
Umm... YOU have FULL custody??
- I'm a father with full custody of my twins. I find it very hard to meet women who will date me. I have LOTS of women friends but when it comes to dating for romance, nope. I get plenty of "atta-boys" and moral support but I am not "dateable." Also there is an immediate assumption that there is extream drama in my life because children are ALWAYS with their mothers. It's pretty discouraging at times.
- —gottwins12
"Just Get Rid of Her"
- I was dating a guy who was fine with the fact that I'm a single mom, until he realized how much it influenced my life. Then I was met with: "Well, can't you get a babysitter?," "Just leave her with your parents," and, "It can't be that hard, just get rid of her." My thoughts were "Oh no, I'm done!"
- —Guest wildheart
Wait... What?
- I had talked to a guy online through a friend and had mentioned before we met that I had a three-year-old son. He didn't say anything about it, so I assumed he was okay with it. When we finally did meet in person, I mentioned my son, and he seemed shocked--as if finding out for the first time. He responded with, "Wait, don't you have a pro-choice sticker on your car?" (Which I do). I said "yes," and he then said, "Well why do you have a kid then?" That response completely killed any interest I had with him. The night ended shortly after that, and I have not seen him since.

"Lugano - a day trip to Ticino" Top 5 Page for this destination Lugano by ettiewyn
Lugano Travel Guide: 406 reviews and 1,087 photos
It was due to my mom that we went to Lugano - I must admit that I had never heard of this city, nor had I any plans to do a day trip to Switzerland during our trip to Milan. However, while I talked to her about the day trip to Lago Maggiore that I was proposing, she suddenly mentioned Lugano and that she had once read a novel taking place there, and had dreamed about going there ever since. I quickly checked the options of going to Lugano from Milan, and when I saw that it was so easy, I at once decided that we would go there and that I would make my mom's dream come true. When I told her, she was really surprised, and we looked forward to the trip very much.
Lugano is located in the canton of Ticino and on the shores of Lago di Lugano, which was named after the city. I was surprised to read that Lugano is the third-biggest financial centre of Switzerland, the eighth-biggest city by area and ninth-biggest city by inhabitants. While we visited, it rather seemed like a small and tranquil town to me, but obviously that impression was a little deceiving! And of course I mean "tranquil" apart from the tourists. We visited on a warm and sunny sunday, and while there were not many people during the first half of the day, it became very crowded in the afternoon. There were literally hordes of tourists and locals wandering about, but although I usually don't like to be among so many people, it did not really disturb me in Lugano - maybe because the big lake and the massive mountains around still give a sense of space and freedom.
The lake and the mountains make Lugano a special and beautiful place. There are three particular mountains surrounding it: Monte Brè, Monte San Salvatore and Sighignola. There are cable cars going to the top and these must provide spectacular views, but being only on a day trip, and because my mom is afraid of cable cars, we skipped this. As it was such a sunny day and we wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery, we neither visited any of the museums the city has to offer. Instead we wandered around the centre and the lakefront, visited a handful of churches, and then just enjoyed the beautiful Parco Civico and the amazing landscape of this region.
- Pros:Fantastic and stunning scenery, great churches
- Cons:Very expensive and crowded in high season
- In a nutshell:I a happy that I have now seen some of the beautiful Ticino myself!

Piazza Cioccaro is only a very small piazza, and it is clearly in the shadow of Piazza Riforma, but I preferred this... more travel advice
Santa Maria degli Angioli is Lugano's most famous church, and the one closest to the lake. From the outside, it looks... more travel advice

Lovely little page about your day trip to Lugano. Yes, when visiting Switzerland it always makes sense to have some Swiss Francs available. It is more or less the same with every other country with a different currency. - I really enjoyed reading your Burger King / Mc Donalds story.
First, I must say that your main pic is absolutely beautiful. It's amazing what a little bit of color does for a picture. Now, aren't you glad you went to Lugano. Looks like you had a nice time with your Mom and you made her dream come true.
Hi Mirjam, I like your new Lugano page. My one visit there was many years ago, but we mainly went hiking up in the hills nearby, so we didn't see much of the town. Among other places we went to Montagnola, where Hermann Hesse used to live. He had already died by that time, but there was still a sign painted on the front wall of his house: Bitte keine Besuche.
I couldn't imagine that there were so many places to visit there; I should "re-go" there!

Nancy Pelosi
November 14, 2006
If you haven't read our virtually unprecedented online lede across the home page, please do. If Jane Harman is pushed out of her earned chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee, it will be only because Nancy Pelosi has mixed her own ideological armor with her personal pique. Somehow, she and the other party leaders, even Rahm Emanuel--who, as you might know, I much admire--can tolerate John Dingell, John Conyers, and Charlie Rangel as committee chairmen, even though they are obsessives on the wrong side of almost every issue that will come before them.
My Vote For Speaker
November 07, 2006
Yes, the mind wanders in Paris, and it wanders freely. Here's a thought that is on many people's minds but has not come off many people's tongues. Nancy Pelosi should not be speaker of the House. Rahm Emanuel should be. He is smarter, more savvy, understands the political middle as both norm and fact. And he is extremely likeable, truly trustworthy, a politician of honor and imagination. Imagine someone out of the Clinton White House who emerged untainted by even a whiff of scandal. Unlike other pols who used to raise Democratic money from me, he was not a hustler.
Jack in the Box
June 26, 2006
A moderate Democratic representative is on the phone, relating a thought he had a few days earlier about his party's prospects for winning back the House in November. "Things look really good," he had mused to himself. "You've got to wonder how we're gonna screw it up." As if on cue, House Democrats--who had been coasting on GOP scandal and disunity--turned against one another. Last Friday, Pennsylvania Democrat Jack Murtha picked a leadership fight over the central issue that splits his party: Iraq.
February 06, 2006
IN DEMOCRATIC CIRCLES these days, there is much talk of 1994—with good reason. The president's approval ratings are bad, Congress's are even worse, and, most importantly, scandal is sweeping the nation's capital. The atmosphere is poisonous enough that some Democrats believe it could produce the kind of electoral storm last seen twelve years ago, when Republicans retook Congress by railing against corruption in Washington. Of course, the 2006 Democrats differ in many ways from the 1994 Republicans. One key difference may well be the lack of Newt Gingrich—or, rather, a liberal version of him. G
December 12, 2005
Once upon a time, the Democratic family consisted of two basic types of politicians--those who supported the Iraq war and those who were against it. As the war dragged on and the political climate changed, however, varied new species began to evolve, with all manner of ideas and opinions about the occupation. For months, these different Democratic factions lived more or less in harmony. But Pennsylvania Representative John Murtha's dramatic call last month for a fast U.S. exit from Iraq was like a climate-altering asteroid event.
The Outsiders
February 14, 2005
If you've bothered to pay any attention to the low-wattage drama of the race for chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), you probably know that Howard Dean is on the verge of winning it. But, during a three-month process in which many candidates and would-be candidates have stumbled briefly into the fray, nothing is more illustrative of how Democratic politics have changed than the fate of Leo Hindery. You've probably never heard of Hindery, but he is one of the party establishment's longtime moneymen.
Learning from Newt
January 24, 2005
Early last year, a Democratic representative named Chris Bell decided it was time someone really went after Tom DeLay. Like many of his Democratic colleagues, Bell had come to believe that DeLay, a fellow Texan, was not just a tyrannical House majority leader, but that his pursuit of power had led him to trample House ethics rules.
September 27, 2004
Michael Crowley explains why the Democratic Party has failed to push for responsible national gun control.
July 26, 2004
DEMOCRACY LATER With Americans fighting and dying for democracy in the Middle East, there's never been a more urgent need for a well-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which supports democratic movements around the globe-- including in Iraq and Afghanistan. Until recently, Congress--especially congressional Democrats--seemed to understand this.
Asia Minor
March 25, 2002
In June 1997 the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was on the congressional chopping block, its funding zeroed out by the Senate Appropriations Committee. Created to promote democracy around the globe, the endowment seemed about to fall victim to an argument that was potent from the early 1990s through September 10, 2001: that, with the cold war over, democracy faced no serious threat. But exiled Chinese dissident Wu Xuecan begged to differ.

Hi everyone,
I am considering upgrade our HP-UX servers that are all running version B.11.00 64-bit (for N-Class) and 32-bit (for L-Class, K-Class and E45). I would like to have some advice from those who has experience in this so that I can start a feasibility study in a right way. Let me know what is the possible version to upgrade to. Please outline areas that I must focus on such as hardware, software and applications etc. Thanks in advance.
P.S. This thread has been moved from Servers > Planning to HP-UX > sysadmin - HP Forum Moderator

The K-class servers will probably need to have their FIRMWARE upgrade first, HAVE HP DO THIS!
I think the E45 is limited to 32bit only.
The N's and L's won't have any issues.
INSTALL the latest IGNITE on your existing servers!
Do TWO make_tape_recovery's of each server! - yes back up the current environment incase you need to go back!
Do TWO full system backups!!! - verify the backups!!!
Get the latest install media - MARCH 2002

Q. "Why would I need a quick tee adapter?"
A. If you already have a two-way valve but need to add an additional waterline, the quick tee adapter allows you to create a branch outlet without shutting off the main water supply.
Q. "I'm hearing a lot about lead-free these days. What does that have to do with plumbing products and how does the new lead-free legislation affect me?"
A. Basically, the laws implemented Jan. 1st, 2014 require plumbing products that come in contact with drinking water to be essentially lead free (less than 0.25% weighted average). For further information about how the law determines what is lead free, rules regarding which plumbing products must be lead free, and who these laws will affect, please visit our LEAD FREE Plumbing Information page.
We hope that we have helped you on this page with quick tee adapters,
and thank you for helping to make PlumbingSupply.com® the most famous Internet plumbing supplier.

Very disappointed. Non of the staff understood what gluten free was. The menu options were very limited and the food turned out to be anything but gluten free. I have Celiac disease and became very sick for several days after eating here. Never again.
I'll give it two stars. Was it safe for someone with Celiac disease? Yes. Was it an amazing meal? Not really. Very mediocre with limited options.

Gluten free menu is extremely limited and the food is not safe for people who have to be gluten free for medical reasons such as Celiac. There are better restaurants for you.

I have Celiac disease and they do an excellent job of keeping me safe everytime!
