You Jeff Goldblums got a T-Rex after ya
So you must go faster, must go faster
from Emilio Rojas (Ft. Chris Webby & XV) – Nobody Fucking With Me Lyrics on Genius
Webby makes a reference to the scene in Jurassic Park where Dr. Ellier Slatter and the park's game warden are chased by a Tyrannosaurus Rex after finding survivor Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Goldblum is quoted telling them that they ("must go faster") as the T-Rex is catching up to their jeep.
Webby uses the reference as a metaphor to describe the incoming danger he is posing on the competition, telling them that they must work harder or they will be eaten alive.

Lotus Pond
Diamond sparkle and dazzle. Because of this, they're highly valued. Wise sages compare the living being to diamonds. Are we as beautiful and valuable? Yes, more than we see ourselves to be!
The living entity is described to be the natural spark of the Supreme Being. As such, we also possess beauty, strength, wisdom, and other wonderful qualities.
But, we're temporarily encased in a material garment, our physical body. Our spiritual spark may be contaminated, preventing us from seeing the dazzling true beauty of our soul!
Inherent nature
Some people mistake the external covering of the human body to be the person himself, and judge the "diamond" by the crust that covers it. But, dirt can't penetrate its core.
The soul can also be covered by the mind. When the latter is littered with illusion and material desires, the former is covered with toxic "contaminants" such as anger, greed, lust and envy. As a result, the soul cannot manifest its true light and sparkle to others.
The process of self-realization involves removing the "crust" that covers the soul, to reveal the true value of the living being!

Tiny Dancers
Nietzsche declared, "One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." It's doubtful that the existential philosopher anticipated chaos giving birth to Dancing With the Stars, where B-listers tango for more fame. More likely, he would have been down with the kind of dancing stars at this weekend's Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation's AileyCamp.
These stars take the shape of 100 at-risk middle-schoolers who have spent the past six weeks participating in a free dance camp. There, teachers, including former Alvin Ailey company member Yusha-Marie Sorzano, taught discipline and self-esteem through creative expression and lyrical movement. This Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Knight Concert Hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center, the program will culminate with a professionally choreographed performance of ballet, jazz, modern, and West African dance pieces, interspersed with skits and spoken word.

Hello, moms! And advice for a slow poke? I wonder how I can get him moving, he pokes about everything. When we go somewhere fun, he is still slow because he is so excited and can't focus on tasks needed to be done in order to leave.
I feel like a sergeant always barking orders. I want him to become more independent. But when I leave him to do something he ends up sittin there for a while, or just diddle dallying around. Gets on my nerves and I get upset. He is a sweet boy who listens very well to me otherwise. Just don't know... ?

|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|C. flavirostris
|Binomial name
|Carduelis flavirostris
(Linnaeus, 1758)
C. f. flavirostris
Fringilla flavirostris Linnaeus, 1758
The twite (Carduelis flavirostris) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is similar in size and shape to a linnet, at 13 to 13.5 centimetres (5.1 to 5.3 in) long. It lacks the red head patch and breast shown by the linnet and the redpolls. It is brown streaked with black above, and a pink rump. The underparts are buff to whitish, streaked with brown. The conical bill is yellow in winter and grey in summer. The call is a distinctive twit, from which its name derives, and the song contains fast trills and twitters.[2] Twites can form large flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixed with other finches on coasts and salt marshes. They feed mainly on seeds.
The twite breeds in northern Europe and across central Asia. Treeless moorland is favoured for breeding. It builds its nest in a bush, laying 5–6 light blue eggs.[3] It is partially resident, but many birds migrate further south, or move to the coasts.[4] It has declined sharply in parts of its range, notably Ireland.[5]
The phylogeny has been described by Antonio Arnaiz-Villena et al.[6][7]
In the UK, the Twite is subject to several research projects in the Pennines, the Scottish Highlands and the North wales and Lancashire coast lines. Records show that the birds to the east of the Pennine hills move to the southeast coast in winter and those to the west winter between Lancashire and the Hebrides. The Welsh population winters almost exclusively in Flintshire.

from Cape Porpoise to Sable Island...

Is this a good idea? Sable Island is in the middle of nowhere, at the confluence of the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current, which makes for some truly nasty weather and fog. They don't call it the Graveyard of the Atlantic for nothing. I wasn't aware it was a cruising destination, and thought mariners took great pains to stay the hell away from the place. If you're thinking of trying it, and asking about it in a Learn to Sail colunm, please take some serious advice on the topic first from those who know the area.
Anyway, looks to be a bit under 600 miles due east from Porpoise, with Cape Sable a stopover about halfway. An 'average' 65-fairly solid monohull would probably make 8 knots in a breeze, so a spanking summer souwester could have you there in 3 days' sailing time. A more conservative figure, figuring on the vagaries of wind and current, would be more like 6 knots and 4 days.
The island's described as a very large, moving, sand dune, with some wild horses and a few researchers who travel in by aircraft.
I'd think twice, then twice again, before trying it.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Hôtel Keppler
10 Rue Kepler, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 16th Arr. (Trocadéro)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In Paris we're always on the lookout for something that shows a little restraint, whether that means understated style, unimposing atmosphere, or reasonably affordable rates. It's rare to find all three at once, but that's more or less what the Hôtel Keppler offers: a sensible amount of luxury, a surprising degree of quiet (for a hotel just off the Champs-Élysées), and interiors that manage to avoid excess in either direction, whether antique or avant-garde.
This style demonstrates the difficulty of grading hotel design along a single dimension, from ancient to modern. Here Pierre-Yves Rochon wraps classic elements in modern clean lines, creating interior spaces that are at once eye-catchingly contemporary and full of historical character. At a glance they're definitively Parisian, but also definitively 21st-century.
Though at thirty-nine rooms it's intimate enough, the Keppler quietly features a few bigger luxuries — there's no restaurant, but there is a sauna, a steam room, and a small gym, all of which might come in handy after a long day pounding the Parisian cobblestones. Better suited to a romantic getaway or a shopping expedition than a business trip perhaps, but executives lucky enough to have business in central Paris will likely have few complaints.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Guaranteed 4pm check-out
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival (a value of about €11 per guest, depending on the drink)
- Complimentary Buffet breakfast per guest (max two guests; a value of €22 per person per day)
- *As a small boutique hotel, Hôtel Keppler has only a limited number of rooms available for upgrades.

What I liked:
We initially booked the hotel for a weekend out with friends. At the very last moment however our babysitter got sick and we had to bring our 1-year old baby. We informed the hotel of this and they really did everything within their means to make our stay enjoyable. This hotel truly is a hidden gem in Paris !

We stayed in the Penthouse which had skylights and views of the Eiffel Tower. It was an absolutely beautiful space. Incredibly comfortable with two well appointed bathrooms. The service was some of the best I have ever experienced - so helpful before and during our stay.

He is different than Mac in that he gets the forearm to wind up (wrist layback) at the start of the forward swing. It's almost a smile pattern tack back. Very interesting that a junior with this much potential and talent would use this type of forehand. But to me, even though it is classical in some senses, it is a great forehand and much more developed and ready for the pro game than either his backhand or his serve. His movement is very fluid and quick; he displayed touch with his hands. He will continue to refine his strokes. This is a special player.

Manipulating Folders and Files by Using Setup Information (.inf) Files
You can use .inf files to manipulate files and folders in several ways. Some key ways that are reviewed in this section are:
Creating folders and links in folders
Creating and deleting long file names
Setting attributes for files and folders
Copying files to the Program Files folder
On This Page
Creating Folders and Links in Folders
Creating and Deleting Long File Names
Setting Attributes for Files and Folders
Copying Files to the Program Files Folder
Limitations of .inf Files
Creating Folders and Links in Folders
Creating a folder in the Program Files folder or creating links in a folder is done by the shell after a component is installed. Setup looks in the Setup.ini file for a [progman.groups] section and then parses it to create folders and links in those folders.
If you are installing a component that will require a folder or links in the Program Files folder, create an UpdateInis section (refer to the Update .ini File sections (UpdateInis) information on the Setup Information File (.inf) Definition page) that will create the proper entries in the Setup.ini file. The Setup.ini file uses the following syntax to create folders and links. Note that folders are relative to the Start menu.
Link-Name, .exe-name, Icon-file-name, Icon-index, profile
If the profile field is left NULL, the link will always be added to the folder.
If .exe-name is a NULL item, it is deleted from the group if it exists there.
If a folder or link has a space in its description, you must use double quotation marks to get this to show up in the Setup.ini file. See the examples below.
Example: Games
[Optional Components] games [games] OptionDesc= %GAMES_DESC% CopyFiles= wingames.files UpdateInis= wingames.links [wingames.files] cards.dll freecell.exe freecell.hlp mshearts.exe mshearts.hlp sol.exe sol.hlp winmine.exe winmine.hlp [wingames.links] setup.ini, progman.groups,, "gamesfolder=%GAMES_DESC%" ;creates folder setup.ini, gamesfolder,, """Solitaire Game"",SOL.EXE,,," ;creates link setup.ini, gamesfolder,, "Minesweeper,WINMINE.EXE,,," ;creates link setup.ini, gamesfolder,, ""Hearts Card Game"",MSHEARTS.EXE,,,";creates link setup.ini, gamesfolder,, "FreeCell,FREECELL.EXE,,," ;creates link
Result: The entry for "Games" appears in the Optional Components dialog box in Setup, and if selected, a Games folder is created in the Program Files folder with links to Solitaire, Minesweeper, Hearts, and FreeCell.
Creating and Deleting Long File Names
The root branch of the registry for rename operations is the following:
The root branch of the registry for delete operations is the following:
Each group of rename and delete operations is added to a subkey under each branch. Each group of operations is limited to renaming or deleting files in a single folder. You must include a minimum of two entries in each subkey to effect a rename or delete: the folder path for the files to be renamed or deleted, and the actual rename or delete operation.
The first key in each group of operations is the folder entry. Each entry for a rename operation in the related folder is an entry of the form "old_short_name"="new_long_name,[attrib_flag]".
The optional attrib_flag is used to set file attributes during the rename operation. The flag is composed of the following values.
To set multiple attributes on a file or folder, the flags are added together; for example, to set the READONLY and HIDDEN attributes, attrib_flag would be 3.
The following example is an AddReg section that sets the SYSTEM and HIDDEN attributes for the \Windows\system32\Sample folder:
HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Sys,,,%11% HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Sys,SAMPLE,,"SAMPLE,6"
You should use all capital letters to ensure that the file name remains a short file name.
Each entry for a delete operation in the related folder is an entry of the form "arbitrary_key_name"="long_name_to_delete".
The following example is an AddReg section that:
Renames Oldname.txt file to New Long Name.txt in the C:\Samples folder.
Renames Myreadme.txt file to My Application Readme.txt in the Windows folder.
[MyAppShort2Long] HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Samples,,,C:\Samples HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Samples,oldname.txt,,"New Long Name.txt" HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Win,,,%25% HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles\Win,myreadme.txt,,"My App Readme.txt"
The following example is an AddReg section that:
Deletes New Long Name.txt from the C:\Samples folder.
Deletes My Application Readme.txt from the Windows folder.
[MyAppDelLong] HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeleteFiles\Samples,,,C:\Samples HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeleteFiles\Samples,oldname.txt,,"New Long Name.txt" HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeleteFiles\Win,,,%25% HKLM,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeleteFiles\Win,myreadme.txt,,"My App Readme.txt"
After these entries are renamed or deleted and processed, they are removed from the registry.
During the rename operation, the destination file is deleted before any files are renamed. If the same rename operation is queued twice, it could result in a loss of the file. For example, suppose there is a bitmap that needs to be renamed from Picture.bmp to "Really Cool 3D Picture.bmp." The second time such a rename operation is performed, "Really Cool 3D Picture.bmp" already exists, so it is deleted before the rename operation is performed. The exception to this rule is when the existing destination file name is a folder.
Setting Attributes for Files and Folders
To set the attributes for a file or folder, you use the same convention to create long file names using an optional flag.
For details, see the section on "Creating and deleting long file names."
Copying Files to the Program Files Folder
The following example copies three files to the Program Files\Accessories folder and creates links to one of the files:
[WordPadInstall CopyFiles = WordPadCopyFiles UpdateInis = WordPadInis [DestinationDirs] WordPadCopyFiles = 24,%PROGRAMF%\%ACCESSOR% [WordPadCopyFiles] mswd6_32.wpc wordpad.exe write32.wpc [WordPadInis] setup.ini, progman.groups,, "group4=%APPS_DESC%" ;creates Accessories folder (if not already there) setup.ini, group4,, """%WORDPAD_LINK%"", ""%24%\%PROGRAMF%\%ACCESSOR%\WORDPAD.EXE""" ;creates link in Accessories folder [Strings] APPS_DESC = "Accessories" WORDPAD_LINK = "WordPad" ; Folder names - note that the short versions must match the truncated ; 8-character names for the long versions, or else there are problems. PROGRAMF = "Progra~1" ; first 6 chars of Program_Files, + "~1" ACCESSOR = "Access~1" ; first 6 chars of Accessories, + "~1"

Overall the product is more then I expected. The predrill was near perfection except for one chair. I will need some assistance assembling the counter top. I would have preferred the granite to be removable then given the option of gluing or just putting in place.

Everything you need to pass the NAPLEX® – comprehensive study material and two practice exams – in one student-reviewed package
Written by an instructor who has taught thousand of students, this all-in-one study guide was developed and reviewed by pharmacists, faculty, students, and recent graduates – so you know it contains only the most relevant, up-to-date conent. You'll find valuable foundational material and chapter-ending case application questions that cover every key topic included on the NAPLEX. The companion CD-ROM includes two practice tests with a total of 370 questions allowing you to pinpoint your weaknesses.
Pharmacotherapy review is great, but....
By Pharmd2011 on Feb 07, 2011
Some of my professors in pharmacy school wrote chapters in this book and recommended its use for NAPLEX preparation. I purchased the book thinking this would serve as my sole reference for NAPLEX review. While the pharmacotherapy section of this review book is excellent and may actually over-prepare you for what the NAPLEX throws at you, there is little else in the way of test preparation found in here. There is one small chapter on pharmacy calculations that is less than 5 pages and does not go over all of the necessary calculations one should master before taking the NAPLEX. There is no review of pharmacy law, no mention of dosage form and physical pharmacy review, and no section on pharmacoeconomics, prescription processing, clinical trials design, nor basic statistics. With that being said, I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing this book for the pharmacotherapy review alone. However, do not purchase this book with the assumption that this is a one-stop shop for all your NAPLEX review needs. The APhA Review of Pharmacy book or RX Prep are probably better options in that scenario. I believe that McGraw-Hill should rename this book "McGraw-Hill's Pharmacotherapy Review Guide" in order to better reflect its given content. Note: Please refer to the NABP NAPLEX Competency Statements for further review: [...]
Great study guide!
By Anna on Jun 03, 2012
I purchased this book because I didn't like the layout / content of the APhA Complete NAPLEX review book. And this book lived up to all of my expectations and I would highly recommend it. Pros: 1) Effective, clear writing/tables 2) Practice test questions 3) Reasonable cost Cons: 1) Bulky (they all are though!) This was the primary resource I used to study for the NAPLEX. And it worked! Good luck!
excellent pharmacology text for medical students
By Gs on Aug 12, 2013
I purchased this book while taking pharmacology in medical school, and it is perhaps better for medical students than pharm students. It covers all that medical students need to know, and it contains many useful practice questions. Some topics are covered in greater detail than necessary for medical students (eg, P450 subtypes). And although it's sparse coverage of pharm calculations may be a problem for pharm students, that is not a problem for med students. I still have my copy, and continue to use it. (Compared to the tomes by Katzung and Goodman & Gilman, which I got rid of almost immediately.)
A good Guide
By Shi on Feb 16, 2013
It hones in on what you need to know without reading the massive chapters in the textbook that can be daunting. I also appreciate the questions after every chapter to gauge my understanding of the material.
Excellent Book
By Nina on Aug 30, 2013
I bought a bigger book to study for the NAPLEX, but it was so overwhelming. I turned to this book for a quick and easy to read guide through the information I needed to know for the NAPLEX. I'm so happy I used this book instead. I passed with flying colors, and I didn't have to spend a lot of time reading stuff that I wasn't even tested on (nuclear pharmacy). The only cons of this book is the math section is lacking, and it doesn't include some of the new medications that have recently came out. Other than that, A+

Five Jane's Walks to check out this weekendCalgary's annual Jane's Walk kicks off Friday with up to 55 planned walks throughout the city. The Herald asked Julie Black, citizen engagement associate of the Calgary Foundation which organizes the
The City Ranked Best for a StrollAnother month passes, another city wins best place to live, most beautiful, happiest. Maybe we're supposed to internalize all of this, be proud that our city won.
What are the best urban hikes in Calgary?What's the best hike within the city limits? Last week, a Twitter conversation about mountain hiking got a little urban when a few chimed in their favourite hikes within the city.
Walkable neighbourhoods cost $1,500 more per month than 'burbs, says U.S. studyLast year, the Herald commissioned an opinion poll that found more people would ideally walk to work than drive, ride a bike or catch the bus. It was a bit of surprise, particularly given how few Calgarians actually live that way.
How to make streets less safeTwo weeks ago Toronto's Medical Officer of Health recommended reducing speed limits in city neighbourhoods for the health and safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
What street hockey can teach us about livable streetsThe concept of mixed use design has become common vernacular in contemporary neighbourhood planning. The basic principle is that mixed use, complete communities encourage living, working and playing.
Protecting car use a road to nowhereAs a car enthusiast, it is natural to believe I am a defender of the automobile amidst the recent debate on whether Calgary's transportation planning is waging "a war on cars.

Moon will appear red during eclipse
AUGUST 12: The annual Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak late on the night of August 12th and in the early morning hours of August 13. The Perseids often produce the best meteor show of the year. Earth will be passing through tiny pieces of debris cast off by comet Swift-Tuttle. The debris briefly lights up as it hits the atmosphere. The meteors will be visible throughout the sky.
AUG. 18: Venus and Jupiter will come within one quarter of a degree of each other in the morning sky. Look to the east.
OCTOBER 8: People in San Diego County will be able to observe their second total lunar eclipse of the year. The moon starts to move into Earth's shadow at 1:17 a.m. The full eclipse begins at 3:27 a.m. and will last until 4:22 a.m. The eclipse ends at 6:32 a.m.
OCTOBER 19: Recently discovered comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) will brush past Mars on its journey around the sun. Astronomers aren't sure how close the comet will come to the red planet. Current estimates range from 25,000 to 100,000 miles. Scientists are constantly refining their estimates because there's a small chance that the comet, estimated to be upwards of five miles in diameter, will strike Mars. Astronomers seem certain that the comet will briefly become brighter than Venus during the fly-by.
OCTOBER 23: San Diego County will be exposed to a partial solar eclipse that will last from 12:38 p.m. to 4:52 p.m.

DUDE: Excuse me, are you a registered voter?
ME: Yep
DUDE: Could you help me out with something?
ME: What?? What do you want me to sign? (Looking at tablet)
DUDE: I was hoping that you could sign this to help pass a law allowing liquor (points to store) sales in grocery stores, etc....
ME: (thinking to myself) Didn't this get voted against last year?
DUDE: Yea, (then all I hear is blah, blah, blah...education etc etc)
ME: NO, I voted against it and I don't sign for anything I don't research first in the first place. In addition, why would I want to sign for something to get back on the ballot that was voted down in the first place? No thanks.
He got kind of a messed up look on his face, like HOW dare you want to research?! UGH! These people drive me nuts. Anything EYEMAN brings up is nuts. However, they are fun to poke and make them think while their trying to convince you to sign something you have no idea about. Then, when it comes time to vote, I'm guessing a good chunk of the people don't actually research and reflect on what the proposed bill is about and what is all entailed and how it'll be funded, etc.

So neener neener. I'll share with those who will appreciate it.
Anyhow, I'd like to comment on the article about the Value motel. I would like to see it bull dozed or something of that nature. It doesn't help our (Vancouver) apperance or image any by having a run down roach motel just off the interstate. Obviously, the person who was told to bring it to code, doesn't give a rats rear end. I'd also like to point out that the ones who cry for Gov't to do something aout it, seem oddly simillar to the ones who want gov't to butt out of everything. Pick a stance and stay with it, sheesh!

Procter & Gamble has created a process that makes plastics for packaging cheaper and greener than what is currently on the market. The new plastic, which reportedly could save P&G $1 billion a year in materials costs, could also lead to lucrative business-to-business agreements with other large firms. The plastics, which can also be used inside of products such as toothbrushes and diapers, are up to 75% thinner than existing packaging and use more recycled materials, according to patent filings.

All the victims were from Mayurbhanj district
CUTTACK: At least three construction workers were killed and another was critically injured when tons of soil fell over them while they were engaged in digging a pit for laying the foundation of pillar of a bridge in Mahidharpada-Gobindpur area under Cuttack Sadar police station, about 40 km from here on Sunday afternoon.
"All the four labourers were inside the pit that was over 20 ft deep and 30 ft diameter when the landslide occurred around 4.30 pm. While one of them managed to escape with much difficulty, others were trapped inside", said the local police inspector Ranjit Prusty.
The deceased were identified as Tutu Besra (32), Sahadev Besra (20) and Lingaraj Murmu (40), police said, adding all of them were from Mayurbhanj district. The bodies were retrieved after all the soil over them was removed by some local people some 20 minutes after the mishap.
"The deceased were trapped under the soil for nearly 20 minutes and they died of asphyxiation," Mr Prusty said.
Following the mishap, tension prevailed at the area as some irate villagers demanded stringent action against the works contractor who had not taken adequate safety measures before digging such a big pit.
Police assured the villagers that the contractor would be taken to task. The bodies were sent to SCB medical college and hospital for postmortem while the injured was also admitted in the hospital, police added.

Reported hate crime rises by 12.5 per cent
Post your comment

Reader comments
So what as long as we can have cp's in parliment I' happy
I'm sure a large percentage of people committing these hate crimes are opportunists. They're violent people wanting to fight anyone who in their opinion won't fight back. They're bullies.
I blame the West Indian community's attitude to the LGBTs, there is a huge current of animosity directed towards us from that sector of society
'I'm sure a large percentage of people committing these hate crimes are opportunists.'
Or they could just hate us.
People do and hate us so much they hurt us or even kill us.
My point was the large percentage would hate anyone. The small percentage I'm sure do hate specific types of people. Either way they're all nasty pieces of work
Sister Mary, I agree. In fact, many of those ethnic groups of African descent view us the same way, especially the Jamaicans and those from the Grenadines, among others.
Until we get full equality, I don't see the statistics diminishing. When we're segregated with similar rights, its doing nothing more than targeting us for discrimination and gives licence to some to go out and commit violent crimes against us because of it. There is a direct link between bullying and gay bashing in regard to equality. StonewallUK hasn't yet figured it out.
Hate crimes are a lot higher than that. I know people who are regularly having to call the police out, and that's not including the ones they don't bother calling them out for because it happens so often. These figures are misleading.
But jim it's not 'everyone' they're picking on, it's us, us Queers who are so despised they feel they can act this way.
I agree with RedDevil. These figures arn't including people reluctant to report things (I can think of many such incidences).
It also doesn't take into account how many there might be if more people came fully out of the closet (but currently don't because they're scared of how they'll be percieved and treated..I know quite a few there too).
It's very sad. Equal rights, especially in terms of marriage vs CP's, have to occur. For as long as the government feels it's acceptable to continue giving us second class citizen rights, that view will be reflected by at least some areas of society, how ever much we think we've moved forwards. This is the message they are sending out. And if they don't want to send out that message, and they want to make a genuine impact on the way LGBT people are percieved then the first step is to level the playing field. We must have equal rights the same as everyone else.
"The vast majority concerned racism "
Stonewall says we don't need anti-harassment laws.
Shame about the racism in these comments. Most of the hate crime I've been at the receiving end of has come from white people. There are bigots in all sections of the community.

Flipkart India Pvt Limited's acquisition of Myntra makes for good headlines. The country's largest e-commerce firm spent anywhere from $300 million to $400 million to pick up its erstwhile rival; with that amount of money in the mix, the motif of the sector's potential has, naturally, been a recurring one. But it isn't all sunshine and roses when it comes to the country's largest ever e-commerce deal. Looking beyond those eye-popping figures, there are issues of sustainability and scale worth exploring. In that context, the deal points not only to the e-retail sector's potential, but also its vulnerabilities and problems.
For all of Flipkart's founders' protestations that they weren't looking at Amazon as a threat, it's the 500-pound gorilla in the room. Since it started operations in India last year, it has rapidly become the biggest threat to Flipkart. And this is just the beginning. As of now, regulations only allow for FDI in the marketplace model where companies like Flipkart provide a platform for third-party sellers to sell to consumers. But it's widely expected that the Modi administration will allow FDI in business-to-consumer e-commerce as well, where e-retailers will be able to sell directly to consumers. This is when the real threat from Amazon — and other international e-retail giants — will emerge. With their years of technical expertise, their deep pockets, massive inventory capacities and supply chains, they will have several advantages.
In markets the world over, one lesson has been driven home again and again: e-retail is a brutal space where the majority of the players crash out, the prize for performing well is being brought up by bigger players and actually surviving in the long term is a rare feat. These trends are already visible in India. Of the 52 e-commerce startups in India which, taken together, had managed to raise $700 million in venture capital funding in the three years ending in 2012, only 18 were able to raise follow-on investments in 2013. And even the big players that have been successful — like Flipkart and Myntra — haven't been able to break even so far, leave alone turn a profit. In that context, the former hasn't just acquired the latter's capacities, infrastructure and market share; it has also acquired an added drain on its finances. Those red entries in the balance sheets are going to prove tricky to deal with once the international competition grows.
The irony is that the e-commerce sector is set to explode in India concurrent with the rapid growth in smartphone and broadband penetration. Currently, excluding travel — which makes up 70 per cent of the sector — India's e-commerce market is worth $3.1 billion. According to various analyses, it's expected to be worth anywhere from $50 billion to $75 billion by 2020. But if Indian companies want to take advantage of this, they will have to figure out how to work out around issues such as the majority of consumers preferring to pay by cash at the point of delivery rather than by using debit or credit cards, raising transaction costs by 5 per cent or so — a significant issue in a sector where margins tend to be wafer-thin in any case. They will have to match the international players when it comes to incentives such as one-day delivery and massive discounts. And they will have to build advantages in areas such as making local and artisanal products available. Else the Darwinian churning in the e-commerce sector will not be kind to them.

Castelfranco Madonna
|c. 1503/04
|oil on panel
|200 cm × 152 cm (79 in × 60 in)
The Madonna and Child Between St. Francis and St. Nicasius, also known as Castelfranco Madonna, is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Giorgione executed around 1503. It is housed in the Cathedral of Castelfranco Veneto, Giorgione's native city, in Veneto, northern Italy.
The altarpiece was commissioned by the condottiero Tuzio Costanzo in memory of his son Matteo, who died of a fever whilst serving the Republic of Venice, in 1503/4 or 1500. Also commissioned was a family chapel, containing the tombs of Matteo and Tuzio, built into the walls on either side of the painting. The church was subsequently demolished and replaced with the Cathedral of Castelfranco in 1724. The new building, which remains today, contains a small chapel housing the painting and the tomb of Matteo directly below. The Costanzo coat of arms, three pairs of ribs, can be seen on the tomb on the base of the Virgin's throne. (Some scholars have speculated that St. Nicasius himself is actually a portrait of Matteo).
The work has suffered bad restorations in the past centuries, and was stolen on December 10, 1972. After being recovered, it was accurately restored in 2002-2003 by the Accademia Laboratories in Venice and displayed in the major exhibition Le maraviglie dell'arte, before being returned to its home in Castelfranco in the December of 2005.
The picture is a typical Holy Conversation and shows the Madonna enthroned with the Child with St. Francis to the right and St. Nicasius to the left. The armored figure has formerly been identified as the fighting saint St. George or St. Liberalis, patron of Castelfranco. Matteo and his brother Bruto Muzio were members of the Knights of Rhodes, whose ensign is borne by St. Nicasius (a martyred saint who had also belonged to the Hospitallier order). The traditional scheme of composition is lightened by the novel use of such elements as the throne and the landscape, which takes up a good portion of the background. Noteworthy is also the absence of any reference to ecclesiastical elements of architecture.
The technique of painting is an example of what Vasari called pittura sanza disegno (painting without drawing). This was a new approach to painting which revolutionised the Venetian school and is famously used in The Tempest. Titian, a pupil of Giorgione, later became one of the most important exponents of this style. The figure of St. Francis is very similar to that in Giovanni Bellini's San Giobbe Altarpiece (c. 1487).

Rebecca Romijn Joins Ugly Betty

Rebecca and Jerry look like they're in a pretty good mood. And they have a lot to be happy about. Rebecca just got signed to join the cast of Ugly Betty. She's set to play the mysterious woman behind the mask who's trying to take over Mode Magazine. Ugly Betty seems like a great match for her since she started off in the modeling world. People obviously didn't buy her as a goofy news reporter on Pepper Dennis because that show didn't last long. We bet she can probably give the writers a few funny anecdotes on the fashion industry as well.

Good for "Becky"...but I really love "Ugly Betty". The show is smart and well written, unlike most of television these days.

Battery problem on my Acer Laptop.
Likes # 0
Posted June 26, 2012 at 10:27PM
I have an Acer Aspire 5551 Series Laptop (about 1year and a half old). The problem is that the battery only charges when the charger is in a certain position. Then when it does charge, it only charges up to 12% max.
I have recently got it back from a KNOWHOW repair from PC World and they replaced the charge slot and gave me a brand new cable but the problem still persists.
I wanted to know if it is as simple as replacing the battery to stop the problem.
(I know its not the new charge because my gf's laptop is the same and her charger in my laptop creates the same problem).

I think the answer is " I have recently got it back from a KNOWHOW repair from PC World".
If its still not working correctly, then you should be consulting them, and not making attempts of correcting any possible problems yourself. Changing a battery doesn't come cheaply, especially if it doesn't resolve the problem.

If your girlfriend has the same laptop why not try her battery on your Laptop and if it charges it must be a battery problem.

Taking place five years before the events of Arkham Asylum, Origins brings us back to where it all began. We experience life as a young Batman, and meet the villains that call Gotham home. Is Origins of the same caliber we've come to expect from the series, or is this one bat that should have stayed in the belfry?
Gotham City is a very different place since Batman showed up 2 years ago. He has been labeled a vigilante by police, and a monster by criminals. He currently has no alliance with anyone – not even Gordon – but believes he can handle anything waiting to be thrown at him. Ostensibly, he has no regard for his personal safety.
Batman: Arkham Origins unfolds the story of a young Batman, leading us to understand why he chose to work with Gordon, and why he's decided to devote himself to saving Gotham. With new threats on the horizon, that devotion only intensifies.
Origins features new villains and old favorites alike, many of whom encounter Batman for the first time. Because of this, old villains that sport names we recognize might not be quite as recognizable in this game. City-wise, expect a landmass increase of about 2x over that in Arkham City. Another perk: This time, you don't take the role of another character to tell the main story.
Origins is a near clone of the previous games as far as gameplay and gadgets go; instead of an ice-nade, you have a glue-nade, which fulfills much the same function. A big change to this game though is that to obtain all of the gadgets, three separate combo ladders must be completed throughout gameplay.
On the topic of combo ladders, expect some extreme pickiness here. They seem easy, as they tell you exactly what to do, however there were times when I was trying for a combo and successfully completed it, but the game didn't mark it as successful. This could have been because the game only counts certain events while Batman is using predatory tactics, where you can take people out through stealth actions. The problem is that it never actually tells you when you're in such an event. This discouraged me entirely from trying to fill these ladders, and I suspect it will do the same for others.
The story has been one of the best reasons for someone to play the Arkham games, and this one does not disappoint in the least. There were a few set pieces that made me question why the people of Gotham City are so blind and dumb, and there were also some obvious plot points, but they were told in an interesting way so that it didn't feel cheap.
(Click Here for Multi-monitor Version)
The original Batman: Arkham Asylum took players by massive surprise not just for the gameplay and story, but also because the PC had the great fortune of supporting PhsyX from NVIDIA. This was first game that truly took full advantage of this new hardware technology, and not to mention 3D Vision as well. Arkham City was no different; it was at the forefront of even more impressive technology: Tessellation.
This time, Arkham Origins brings to the PC table much more than the previous two titles: PhsyX, tessellation, FXAA, TXAA, HBAO+, and depth-of-field (DOF). I personally had all of these enabled and the game ran flawlessly; there is a hitch with the NVIDIA DOF however: When I would get a final blow close-up or use the cryptographic scanner, my FPS would drop like a stone to single digits.
I am running this game at 5760×1080 with 2x GeForce GTX 580 in SLI, so this shouldn't have happened. After changing it back to normal DOF, the problem went away. There was however a visual bug that I ran into that made it impossible to complete the game. Near the end, a certain section dropped my FPS down to 2~7, even when using the latest driver from NVIDIA.

The unfortunate thing is that this bug is similar to one PC players experienced with Batman: Arkham City that again made it impossible to play. This was mainly isolated to the DX11 features but in some cases, including myself, DX9 ran just as poor.
Another game-stopping bug I encountered happened when I was trying to reactivate a radio tower in the Diamond District; I couldn't climb up into the vent to go further. At first I thought this was another anti-piracy bug, like in Arkham Asylum, but then I found out that the PC isn't the only platform plagued with progress-halting bugs and other performance problems.
I have read posts on the WB forum from people using consoles that say they're losing their save files, and areas that were accessible to me on the PC weren't for them. This is rather disappointing and makes this reviewer a little unhappy that Warner Bros. didn't catch these bugs before release, especially after what happened in the previous game.

On a lighter note, the voice actors in Origins for both Batman and the Joker have been replaced by new talent Roger Smith (Batman) and Troy Baker (Joker). Both do an excellent job playing these characters with their definitive flair that we've come to know and love.
In the end: Batman: Arkham Origins is a game that tells a fun and interesting story, even if the plot is obvious. The technical issues however make this game an uncertain beast and I believe it is just best to wait for Warner Bros. to get its act together and fix what is an obviously an unpolished game at best.
