Obama, Netanyahu show solidarity on Iran
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 3:24am EDT
AP White House Correspondent
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Seeking a fresh start to a strained relationship, President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday demonstrated solidarity on the key issues that have stirred tensions between them. The U.S. president vowed he would do "what is necessary" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, while Netanyahu reaffirmed that his newly formed government seeks a two-state solution to Israel's decades-long dispute with the Palestinians.
Obama, in Israel for the first time in his presidency, also pledged to investigate reports that Syria had used chemical weapons for the first time in its two-year civil war. And he sternly warned Syrian leader Bashar Assad that use of such weapons would be a "game-changer," one that could potentially draw the U.S. military into the conflict for the first time.
"The Assad regime must understand that they will be held accountable for the use of chemical weapons or their transfer to terrorists," Obama said, standing alongside Netanyahu at a nighttime news conference.
Expectations were low for a breakthrough during Obama's visit on any of the major issues roiling the region. Instead, the president was focused on reassuring anxious Israelis that he is committed to their security, and on resetting his rocky relationship with Netanyahu. The two leaders have been at odds over Israeli settlements and Iran's disputed nuclear programs, and Netanyahu famously lectured Obama in front of the media in the Oval Office on Israel's right to defend himself.
Compared with past encounters, there was a noticeable lack of uneasiness Wednesday, the first time the two leaders have met publicly after both survived elections that will leave them stuck with each other for the foreseeable future. They traded jokes throughout a day of side-by-side appearances. And they repeatedly referred to each other by their first names, Obama calling his Israeli counterpart by his nickname, "Bibi."
On Iran in particular, the two leaders sought to show they were united in their desire to prevent the Islamic republic from developing what Obama called "the world's worst weapons."
Although preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a priority of both countries, Netanyahu and Obama have differed on precisely how to achieve that goal. Israel repeatedly has threatened to take military action should Iran appear to be on the verge of obtaining a bomb, while the U.S. has pushed for more time to allow diplomacy and economic penalties to run their course.
Obama said he continues to prefer a diplomatic solution and sees time to achieve it. Whether that works, he said, will depend on whether Iran's leaders "seize that opportunity."
Although Obama did not promise that the United States would act militarily against Iran if Israel decided that must be done, he offered an explicit endorsement for Israel to take whatever unilateral measures it deems necessary to guard against the threat.
"Each country has to make its own decisions when it comes to the awesome decision to engage in any kind of military action, and Israel is differently situated than the United States," he said. "I would not expect that the prime minister would make a decision about his country's security and defer that to any another country any more than the United States would defer our decisions about what was important for our national security."
Netanyahu strongly backed Obama's efforts, saying he was "absolutely convinced" the U.S. is determined to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
"I appreciate the fact that the president has reaffirmed, more than any other president, Israel's right and duty to defend itself by itself against any threat," he said.
The Israeli leader also said that he and Obama agree that it would take Iran about a year to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Obama said there is "not a lot of light, a lot of daylight" between the two leaders in intelligence assessments about Iran.
The two leaders also spoke firmly about the need to pursue a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, an effort that was stymied during Obama's first term. The president, who arrived in Israel without a clear pathway for jumpstarting talks, acknowledged that in recent years, "we haven't gone forward, we haven't seen the kind of progress that we would like to see."
Netanyahu, for his part, said he was willing to set aside preconditions in future talks with the Palestinians, adding that it was time to "turn a page in our relations."
But they avoided tackling any of the intractable issues that have derailed the peace process, including Israeli settlement building and the status of Jerusalem. Obama promised to talk about peace efforts more expansively Thursday during a speech to Israeli youth.

Walmart Exec: New Credit Card Design Won't Solve Fraud
New credit cards with embedded chips won't help much with fraud, according to a Walmart executive, because U.S. banks took an implementation short cut.
New credit cards with embedded chips won't help much with fraud, according to a Walmart executive, because U.S. banks took an implementation short cut.
Target has proposed to pay $10 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against the retailer following a massive data breach in 2013.
Target is laying off 1,700 workers and eliminating another 1,400 open jobs as part of a restructuring aimed at saving $2 billion over the next two years.
Target reported a loss in its fourth-quarter, dragged down by its move to discontinue its money-losing foray in Canada.
There is a simple and quick way that you can protect your hard-earned dollars and your identity from cyber-theft.
On Oct. 1, the rules for who eats retail credit card fraud change -- and somebody different may be left holding the bag.
The U.S. government is creating a new agency to monitor cybersecurity threats, pooling and analyzing information on a spectrum of risks.
You'd think there would be a better way of protecting online accounts than using low-tech passwords. Unfortunately, there isn't.
Anthem warns U.S. customers about an email scam targeting members whose personal information was suspected to have been breached in a massive cyberattack.
TurboTax, the country's most popular tax preparation software, halted processing state tax returns for 24 hours because of a spike in fraudulent filings.
Several states are investigating a massive cyberattack on Anthem that a person familiar with the matter said is being examined for possible ties to China.
Health insurer Anthem says hackers infiltrated its computer network and gained access to the personal information of its customers and employees.
Staples says nearly 1.2 million customer payment cards may have been exposed during a security breach earlier this year.
Analysts estimate that 1 in 3 Americans affected by a data breach ultimately became the victim of fraud last year -- leading to months of frustration.
While all of us are at risk of becoming a victim of identity theft this holiday shopping season, there's an even bigger problem -- and too many of us do it.
Target kicks off its holiday push with a one-day online sale Monday with nine items that can be ordered online and picked up at stores.
A cyberattack penetrated computer networks for months at USIS, the government's leading security clearance contractor, before it noticed, a probe finds.
Although many consumers are concerned about their personal data, 56 percent will still shop at retailers that experienced a data breach.
Target for the first time is offering free holiday shipping on all items, as the discounter attempts to compete better with the likes of Amazon.com.
Staples is investigating a possible breach of payment card data, making it the latest U.S. retailer to become a possible victim of a cyberattack.
Ice cream and fast food chain Dairy Queen is the latest retailer to reveal a hack of its customer data.
New details on a cyberattack against JPMorgan Chase's computer servers this summer add to increasing doubts over the security of consumer data.
Home Depot says a data breach that lasted for months at its stores in the U.S. and Canada affected 56 million debit and credit cards,far more than Target's.
Home Depot's data breach could wind up being among the largest ever for a retailer, but that may not matter to its millions of customers.
Home Depot says its payment systems have been hacked in a data breach that could affect millions who used credit and debit cards at thousands of stores.
Home Depot says it's working with both banks and law enforcement to investigate unusual activity that would point to a hack of consumers' credit card info.
Some customers of The UPS Store may have had their credit and debit card information exposed by a computer virus found on systems at 51 stores in 24 states.
Target slashes its annual profit outlook as the retailer continues to reel from a massive data breach and sluggish sales in the U.S.
Grocery chain Supervalu, which operates Cub Foods, Shop 'n Save and others, says it may have suffered a data breach at stores in as many as five states.
The federal government warns retailers about a type of malicious software, dubbed Backoff, that it said is undetectable by most types of antivirus software.

Elpida acquires GDDR patents and assets from Qimonda
Press release; Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES [Friday 7 August 2009]
Elpida Memory on August 6 announced that it has reached an agreement with Qimonda, which is now in insolvency proceedings, to acquire the Germany-based chipmaker's technology licenses and a portion of the design assets related to graphics DDR (GDDR) chips.
Elpida also disclosed it is scheduled to volume ship 1Gb GDDR3 and 1Gb GDDR5 in the first half of 2010. The new graphics DRAM chips will be outsourced to Winbond Electronics, said the Japan-based memory maker, adding that the mass production of 2Gb GDDR5 is expected to take place at its Hiroshima Plant starting in the second half of the year.
Elpida's GDDR technology development will be mainly operated at its recently-built Munich Design Center, where nearly 50 engineers and other former Qimonda employees involved in the development work will take up new posts.
Elpida said it is looking to quickly ramp up a full-fledged GDDR business, while acknowledging the increased demand for applications such as game consoles.
"Graphics systems now need graphics buffer memory with a data transfer rate of more than 5Gb/sec given the rapidly growing popularity of high-definition format graphics data, 3D graphics and various display formats," said Elpida CTO Takao Adachi. "In response to this need we will shortly begin commercial production of GDDR5, for which an even faster data transfer rate of 8Gb/sec may be feasible in the near future.

Hi Linda
Just wanted to ask a quick question. Will you be running online courses through the summer hols? I have enrolled previously but got so bogged down with my uni degree that it slipped by. Display work however is my passion and as display co-ordinator at my school I very much would like to enhance my knowledge. I have 2 very tricky assignments to get done before the 28th May but after that I am free and really want to crack on with my display work. I have printed all the previous course materials that I could out and use what I can but would like to complete this properly.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi am interested in your course , has it started already ? Many thanks Roisin
Hi Linda – i enrolled on for your course and got some info – but my computer got a glitch and I lost all emails! So i dont have the stuff you sent – any chance of re-sending it? Thanks

Thursday, January 9, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Georgia coach Mark Fox spoke to his father, Raymond, for the final time on Christmas.
The message that the elder Fox had for his son was simple:
"You need to play some damn defense," Mark Fox remembered. "And he was right. He was right."
Less than a week after Raymond Fox died at the age of 78, Georgia picked up its grieving coach in a 70-64 overtime win late Wednesday against No. 21 Missouri.
It did that by playing defense.
The Bulldogs (7-6, 1-0 SEC) held Missouri guard Jordan Clarkson, the SEC's second-leading scorer to 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting. Missouri (12-2, 0-1) shot 39 percent — down from its season average of 48.8 percent.
"I'm very proud of my team," Fox said. "We beat a very good team, and it's a terrific win for us to start SEC play."
In the process, Georgia snapped Missouri's 26-game home winning streak, the longest in the nation.
"They were way more aggressive than we were," Missouri coach Frank Haith said. "Forty points in the paint, 15 offensive rebounds. They played inspired.
"It's hard to say when a team really comes in and whips you. They came in and kicked our tails."
"This one will definitely sting," Missouri guard Jabari Brown said. "Especially losing at home. But we've got to have a short memory and bounce back. We can't let one loss turn into two."
Georgia led by as many as 10 points in the first half, but Missouri tied the game at 34 less than five minutes into the second half.
Georgia received a big boost from forward Nemanja Djurisic off the bench. Djurisic, who entered the game shooting more than 50 percent from 3-point range, hit 4 of 5 and finished with 16 points.
Fox told Djurisic that he had to play "two halves" against Missouri, and Djurisic complied.
"He really did," Fox said. "He played terrific in the first half. Got a little upset, as he can do, in the second half. He recomposed himself and then made a huge play in overtime."
With 1:40 left in overtime, Djurisic tied the game with a 3-pointer from the top of the arc.
Brown led Missouri with 19 points, but he missed two 3-point attempts with under a minute to go in overtime.
Missouri's home win streak didn't daunt the Bulldogs from the get-go.
Georgia punched the Tigers in the mouth early — and again late — to take a 30-25 lead at halftime. The start impressed Fox even more, considering he didn't re-join his team until Sunday after missing time for his father's funeral.
"We had a good, I think, good business-like approach," Fox said. "It got us off to a really good start."
The Bulldogs scored the first eight points of the game, forcing Haith to call his first timeout with 17:23 remaining to settle his team. At that point, Missouri had taken only two shots and turned the ball over once, but Georgia made four of its first five field-goal attempts.
After Missouri's timeout, the Tigers went on a 17-9 run to tie the game. A 3-point field goal by small forward Earnest Ross gave Missouri its first lead with 5:55 remaining in the half.
Again, the Bulldogs answered. Djurisic connected on back-to-back 3-point attempts and Georgia went on an 11-0 run to go up by 10 points with 2:08 remaining.
Djurisic led all scorers with nine points at halftime. Clarkson and Brown, Missouri's leading scorers, combined for nine points.
While Brown got going in the second half, Clarkson never did, as the Bulldogs' guards clamped down on his ability to drive into the lane.

After an overview of the compact models and efficiencies of combined cycle plants in the previous article, the application of hydrocarbons in the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and the Cascading Closed Loop Cycle (CCLC) is discussed here.
The combined impact of the gas and steam turbines was discussed in the previous part of this series. In this article, we learn more about the combined cycles and how they can be optimized for increased efficiency and maximum power output.
A recent project involved the installation of six Frame 7 Dry Low NOx 1.0 Dual Fuel units in Venezuela, and a decision was made to convert the fuel nozzles from a gas-only unit to a dual-fuel configuration. This decision was taken after determining that the lead time to supply all of the required sets would not meet schedule demands.
GE 7FA Gas Turbines equipped with Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion systems are often deployed in 100% pipeline natural gas applications. Although natural gas is available, some industrial and petrochemical sites prefer to look for ways to utilize process gases produced on-site to reduce plant operating costs.
In the previous part of this series, we saw how energy efficiencies of aircraft jet engines jumped, and how significant advancements were made further. In this article, we will discuss combined cycles.
A new program: "Turbine Generator Maintenance, Inspection and Repair," which includes the construction and presentation of a 2.5MW condensing turbine generator, was recently started during during TGM's bi-annual Operations and Training Seminar at High Tech Central (HTC) Main Campus, 3800 Michigan Avenue, Fort Myers, FL. Although small, this particular turbine generator is representative of much larger units used in power plants throughout Florida and the US.
Every 10,000 miles driven in an electric vehicle (EV) equates to the amount of power needed by one home in the USA for a year, said Donald Karner, President and CEO of electric vehicle (EV) vendor ECOtality North America, at this year's PowerGen conference.
Industrial gas turbine performance by OEMs and the bold moves taken by GE and Westinghouse to produce larger units were discussed in the third part of this series. More innovative models and modifications were introduced by Brown Boveri and GE in the coming years, for greater efficiency.
Engineers and technicians at the Birmingham-based Southern Research Institute have come up with new methods to measure the levels of mercury, trace elements, hydrogen chloride, and fine particles being emitted from power plants. Robert Dahlin, director of Southern Research's Power Systems and Environmental Research in Alabama said many plants have already installed or are in the process of installing scrubbers that can be optimized for capturing certain pollutants.
Elliott Group recently announced that Art Titus has been named Chief Operating Officer, succeeding outgoing COO Tony Casillo, who retired in December after 36 years with Elliott. Over the past six years, Tony Casillo led Elliott through a period of sustained growth and the closer integration of our global operations, said Yasuyuki Uruma, CEO of Elliott Group.

Orinda Parks & Recreation Summer Programs (Orinda, CA)
Hi, We're new to Orinda and have two preschool-aged boys. They'll be 3 1/2 and almost 5 years old in Aug. I'm thinking of enrolling them in Camp OK through the Orinda Parks and Rec. Has anyone sent their children to camps through the Orinda Park and Rec or done Camp OK specifically? What are your thoughts? Would my boys be kept together or separated? My hope is that they'll be able to stay together since they adjust to change slowly. Thanks in advance. Julie

On December 2, 2013, the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") has issued the Opinions on the Financial Support for the Building of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (the "Opinions", in Chinese).
According to the Opinions, the PBOC will basically support the development of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone ("Shanghai FTZ") in five focus areas along with detailed measures:
A. Innovation in the bank account system
B. Facilitation of foreign exchange conversion in investment and financing
C. Expansion of cross-border use of RMB
D. Acceleration of interest rate liberalization
E. Deeper reform of foreign exchange administration
Sheppard Mullin Observations
The Opinion by PBOC is one of the detailed descriptions of the previous Overall Plan for China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Zone" issued by the State Council on September 27. The purpose of the Opinion is to serve the real economy and facilitate cross-border investment and trading, while at the same time managing the risks.
However, the Opinion did not specify a timetable or any deadline for implementation. It is worth noting that after the Opinions were released, Vice Chairman of PBOC Shanghai branch, Zhang Xin informally gave a preliminary schedule to media, " most of the policy initiatives are expected to be implemented within the next three months; the implementing rules shall be subject to test and exploration for about half a year to gain more experiences; and if the experiments work, the authorities expect to establish, a financial administration model that is copyable and extendable to other regions of China within one year."
That means more financial reform is just beginning in the present tense.

I have a neighbor named Cary, and he's a pretty masculine guy, so it doesn't seem girlie to me, but I can see why people might think so.
My husband wanted to use the names Macintosh and Arwen, but after the LOTR movie came out and Arwen had such a larger part than in the book, he felt like the name was ruined. And he said is friends would make fun of him if he named his baby Macintosh, because they'd know exactly why he did it.
Ok Ill play. Im done having babies but I still have names I would have loved to have used, but in the end I did go rather traditional. My girls are called Julianna (which I love), Sophia, and my son is called Joshua.
Penelope (I wasnt as keen on Penny for short)
Alexis or Lexie
Solome (couldnt bc there are two women in the bible named Solome (pronounced So-lo-may). One was at the cross when Jesus died... the other was the daughter of Herodias who danced sensually for her step dad and asked for the head of John the Baptist. I couldnt do that... it was a very serious contender).
Soirse (sorsha)
I like the name Enzo for a boy too.
Oh and Talulah.
I love all those names. Might use them for pets. We have two cats. One called Marcel (as in Marcellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction) and Stinky... as in he stepped in his poop when he was a kitten and it stuck. We werent even going to keep him but Im so glad we did...
I kid with DH all the time (b/c we can't think of a boys name) that we should suck it up and name him Marcellus Wallace!!
Carrie SAHM to Nora Caitlyn ('08) and Finnley Dax ('11) homebirthing, breastfeeding, babywearing, intactivist, doula mama!
My aunt is named Sharon Rose... would that be close enough for you?
My husband wanted to name our daughter (due in June) Magdalene May, because he said Mary of Magdalene wasn't really Jesus' prostitute (but that is what everyone thinks!) and he wanted to call her "Maggie May" like the Rod Stewart song. I put the foot down on that one. Not happening. I really wanted to name a boy Lucius Rex because I love anything to do with Rome, but thanks to Harry Potter that isn't happening anymore :( Our daughter's name is/will be Annora Grace. The older generation raises an eyebrow and says it is too New Age. Joke's on them! It's actually quite an old, old name. Anyway, we love it to death, and that is what matters!!
I think all of those names are cool, but especially Annora! :)
Michelle SAHM to K (3/2004) H (8/2006) P (7/2011) & we're missing Finley Jonas born still, July 27, 2010
Squrrl congrats on Edric!!!
I have bunches of names my husband wouldn't let me use and some that I chickened out on and one that I didn't use b/c of a car.
Car- I had a dream while pregnant with #2 that her name was Mountain Song. I thought of using that but chickened out, so researched mountains. LOVED Denali and was going to use it until the neighbor across the street moved in driving her Denali. I am still angry about SUV's named Denali and Sequoia and the like. She actually ended up being Josephine after her great grandmother(paternal) and I have like the name since I was a child from Little Women. There could not be a more perfect name for her...well maybe Mountain.
We had 3 girls, Jewely (Jewel), Josephine, and Juniper. Jewel was the only one named before she was born, the 3 J's is just a fluke as you can see in that above list all those names were open to use.
Denali is actually another name for Mt McKinley It's the Athabaskan(native Alaskan) name for it and it means The High One. I don't think it would've been a bad name even with the SUV...but then I live in AK and so both Denali and McKinley are used often as names here
And I love Jewel...if this baby would've been a girl that would've been her middle name after my Mom's middle name.
Just saw this thread because it was on the front page. We, on baby #3, finally gave up our inhibitions and went with the 'out there' name we really loved.
Ooh - any chance you'd tell us what it is? Samwise? :) I really like Merry for a boy, but I can't see it on a full-grown man... and it does sound a bit close to "Mary". I like Pippin too, but again, I can't really see a Pippin all growed up, as a hard-hitting divorce lawyer... It'd go nicely with DD's name though - Rowan - which is actually a hobbit name (one of Sam's ancestors, and a female to boot!); I like the idea of having all nature-y sounding names, as long as they weren't too obvious. Before we found out this baby was a boy I was in favour of Hazel for a girl, but I wasn't sure if it'd lock us into a cutesy tree-themed-names thing. Although, most people here don't know that Rowan *is* a tree...
Baby #3 is.....wait for it.....Pippin. Well, he's Peregrine (with an 'e', so not completely LOTR, but close enough that DH can pretend we named him after Mr. Took). We started out calling him Pip and Pippin, but that seems to have stopped mostly....we call him Perry usually.
Our boy#2 was supposed to be Lachlan, but we chickened out and totally regret it. Well, not really, because we named him for my Dad and I wouldn't change that, but it was definitely not a name we were even considering before the birth (plain 'ole Jonathan).
I love Lachlan but dh vetoed it for this baby.
S, mama to L(DD)-12/04, K(DS1)-12/06, C(DS2)-03/09 & B(DS3)-05/11
Sadly, no. That's the thing, I don't particularly like Sharon... it has to be Rose of Sharon. Oh well! I do like Rose, so I may use that some day - although DH's sister is Rosemary and a few people call her Rose, which might be slightly confusing.
I'm still trying to convince DH to name our baby Lachlan. It's not even "weird" here - apparently it was number 7 for boys' names last year, which would usually put me off, but I don't know any Lachlan-babies in real life so I can pretend it's not true. :p DH thinks nobody will be able to pronounce it, though. *sigh*
If decomposition persists please see your necromancer.
A couple of people have mentioned Tallulah- that's my daughter's name! We call her Lula and planned to from the beginning, but she introduces herself to new people as Tallulah. She LOVES her name! But it's okay if people are too chicken to use it- she also likes that we rarely meet anyone else with her name.
Tallulah Dare 8-01, Marcos Gael 12-04, Cormac Mateo 9-09, Leonidas Ronan 11-11
Ok Ill play. Im done having babies but I still have names I would have loved to have used, but in the end I did go rather traditional. My girls are called Julianna (which I love), Sophia, and my son is called Joshua.

Ok, so I'm on the laptop watching a movie with my kids and sorta half paying attention to the movie and the thread. I totally read the bolded part without the btw these are cats at the beginning...I was thinking "Wow who are these people?"
We loved the name Cicero but could too easily imagine our boy being called "sissy" or "zero" too often so it got nixed off the list
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
I adore Scarlett and Juliet, but my other kids have normal names, so it would be too weird. Having one daughter named Anna really limits the possibilities as far as how "out there" I wanna go with girl names. Oh, and I loveee Lincoln for a boy, but again, too odd next to my sons' names.
Our daughter is Juliet. One of the things we like about it is that everyone is familiar with it but hardly anyone actually uses it, at least where we live anyway. So it's both unusual and immediately recognisable.

I *totally* think that Anna and Juliet would work as sibs. Scarlett- you could make that work, but it doesn't "match" Anna very much.

I really liked the name Jadyn, and my fiance had agreed to it, but today he informed me that he thought it was too "pretty boy" so now I guess it won't be Jadyn. I fell in love with Blaise which is a French name, but when I found out what it means, I'm not so sure I would name my child Blaise anymore (even though it was just going to be his middle name.) I would never be able to name my children after cars (Mercedes, Porsche, etc.) They are becoming all to popular anyways. I really like the names Merric and Aurora, but of course my fiance vetoed Aurora. It's not like HE'S contributing any suggestions (personally, I hope he has a couple that he REALLY likes that I don't so *I* can veto THEM. hehe)
I too love the name Lachlan. My husband wasn't so into it so I played around with it, changed the first letter, and then he loved it. :) (We don't share our kids' names online though).
I LOVE Tolkien names. I even love the name Tolkien. :) One of our kids is named Eowyn but with an additional letter added at the beginning. I would love to name a baby of ours Faramyr, boy or girl, it's awesome. Or any name with the sound "tyr" (teer) in it. I lovelovelove Tyr. Tyrleif, Tyrlock, Tyrdin...
When we are naming a baby, I pretty much look to Tolkien names & then play around with them until I find something my husband will agree to. :)
Other names I love but wouldn't use are Praetorian, Vashti, & Green. I have a large list of names that I play around with during each pregnancy. Some are things like Faentyr, Grynlach, Morguild, Eothain, Brynmore, Feyedrin.... I love very unique names, but he loves unique as in never been used before, can't be Googled names! lol Not so easy to work with. ;)
I'm pregnant now but don't know the gender. We have a girl name picked out, that's similar to Faramyr actually, but not a boy's name. Naming babies is SOoooOOOOooO hard!
I love this thread & have been reading along since the beginning. :)
North Idaho rural living mama to: 23 yo DD, 17 yo DS, 9 yo DS, 7 yo DS, 5 yr old DS, 3 yo DD, 2 yo DS, and our newest family member, a boy born December 2014!
Elmer or Orion for a boy. I've gotten so many strong NO reactions to Elmer. (Oooh just thought, what about Ember, nah too close to Amber) And I like Orion, but I just don't think I'd end up loving it once I named my son it.
I love and would use Wren for a girl but DH is against it.
I have 2 different friends that just had babies. One named her son Orion, the other named her daughter Wren.
We are pregnant right now and keep telling people if it's a girl her name is B'Elana Jane. Actually we really like the name, but I don't know if we have the courage to actually use it.... Our first two daughters are Elisabeth Anne, and Julianna Marie, both very traditional. I wouldn't mind being a little more adventurous.
I love Edward and we love our Libby (8/07) and 'Nana' (05/09 ) and Eowyn (11/11) We are having a blast and .
For a girl: Echo.
For a boy: Enzo.
Maybe if I lived in Europe.....? xD
Just a homegrown heretic hopelessly in love with her amazing DH, 2.5 year old Eli, and now expecting a new arrival April 2015.
I love Sirius also,if my next one is a boy i'm going with it!
I like Sirius as a boy's name, I think if I ever had a boy I might use it though. I love Ariadne and Lyra for girls. I thought Lyra would fit it with my dd who is named Lillian, a derivative of Lilith, the first woman. But I'm not sure if anyone would ever figure out the reference, lol.
I really wanted to name this baby Malena. But then I found out that the guy from American Idol/Rock of Ages just named his daughter that. So now I can't do it because I fear people will think I copied him, and/or the name will become very popular soon.
Melaya (29) - Mom to Z (9) and soon to be I (due Nov 2013)
Birth mom to M (7), O (5), & C (2).
I still wish we could have named DS, Baden (Bay-din). DH really doesn't like it
Mama to DD Feb '08 (9lbs), DS Oct '10 (10lbs) , DD Jan '13
Chose Melanie - sounds a like. Regarding Malena - you are right - my friend just sent me birth announcement via iPhone - she named her daughter Malena.
btw, use stork.cc app - birth announcement - when select a name and want to share it with relatives and friends.
And also MAlena is very similar to MElena which is a particularly foul-smelling poo containing old blood. Although maybe that is only a problem if you know lots of health care workers.

I really wanted to name my son Ryder...but my hubby said nooo waay! lol We ended up naming him Ethan, but I still love that name, I think if I ever have another boy I'm going to name him Ryder.

Good emotional sidequest 0
I really liked the Normandy crash site side quest, as it was not about shooting or achieving an objective, but an act of remembrance and honor to the people who died on the Normandy and to the ship itself, which was reasonably emotionally important to the Shepard character and Joker, the ship's pilot. My favorite part was Navigator Pressly's logs of his opinion of having aliens on the Normandy change to a point where he would "die for any of them". That, coupled with the Normandy memorial statu...11 out of 14 found this review helpful.
Filling out the ACII package 0
Assassin's Creed II's first piece of downloadable content, The Battle of Forli, was a short, underwhelming effort, though it did have some redeemable features, filling in some blanks in ACII's story and introducing a few interesting new characters. The second piece of DLC, The Bonfire of the Vanities, is short on story elements but it's a much more substantial package overall, offering a new area to explore and a more traditional brand of Assassin's Creed gameplay. A good old fashioned assassi...3 out of 3 found this review helpful.
Pretty simple mission, with a bit of nostalgic emotion. 2
The Normandy Crash site is identified, you scan the planet and beam down. You view a cutscene showing the Normandy debris among chunks of ice and snow. The majority of the mission is collecting the 20 dog tags, these are scattered around the small-ish landscape, and are fairly easy to find if you keep an eye out for the hud outline or glow. There are some emotional parts, you see main parts of Normandy completely destroyed, they show a flashback image of what it used to look like, or the chara...4 out of 6 found this review helpful.

Not much of a download. 0
Never played the dlc for the first so I wouldn't know how long those were but I've heard that one of them were at least 90 min long. All you do is get to the location, look for some tags if you want and plant the monument at one of the predetermined locations.

Less than stellar 0
I understand what the developers were trying to do here but the constant pausing to flash back to what things used to look like was more annoying than emotionally moving. Some simple (easy) collection and running around and this "DLC" is done in less than ten minutes. Minimal XP in addition.

A no-brainer, but enjoyable 0
The premise for 'Bonfire of the Vanities' is pretty simple, and one you'll be familiar with by now. The gameplay is also simple: it's pretty much just a string of assassinations. There are a few new additions, such as spring poles and if you buy the more expensive version three new Templar Hideouts. Personally I didn't understand the spring-pole-jump-long-way-thing. Or at least how to use it: they were quite picky on positioning, and when you're running to try and avoid archers it can be a littl...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Normandy Crash Site/Inferno/Collectors edition armor 0
While Mass effect 2 thus far has been amazing, the Normandy Crash site left much to be desired. While it was interesting to see the crashed Normandy, there was little to do aside from collect 20 dog tags and some element zero. The pre-order inferno armor looks neat, I just wish the helmet would come off when exploring the citedal and such as there is no action. It looks out of place having a big space helmet on inside. The collectors Armor looks neat and also adds some benefits but has the ...0 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Nostalgic Visit 0
While not adding anything remarkable or game changing to Mass Effect 2, or Mass Effect, the Normandy Crash Site DLC does add a nostalgic look back at the Normandy-that-was. The mission is quite simple: visit the crash site of the original alliance Normandy and recover dog-tags of fallen crew mates, for delivery to their families as a keepsake. You also will place a monument at the crash site, remembering the original Normandy. As you come across scattered pieces of the ruined starship, you wi...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

Stayed one night while heading home on a cross-Canada road trip. A great motel with awesome, modern decor. We were walking distance to restaurants & a few pizza places, as well the motel is easily located. Staff were great - my ONLY concern was that we only stayed one night and the dog fee was $50. As we have a husky, I totally understand extra cleaning requirements, but I thought $50 was a bit steep - maybe $25 would of been better. But the included breakfast was a nice touch! Either way, we had a great stay and will recommend the place!

Comments [2]
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Denzel Washington is too old to be playing a father of a young son and a pregnant wife? Shouldn't young men be given the chance to play Walter Lee Younger?

Tulsans Discuss Immigration Reform
Immigration reform is THE hot button issue in Washington and across the nation. A forum in Tulsa today, sponsored by the Regional Chamber of Commerce, focused on federal immigration proposals and the potential impact. Panelist Michael Brooks Jimenez, an immigration law attorney, agrees the system is broken…but believes any reform must be comprehensive, not piecemeal…as some U-S House members prefer.
The Senate has passed a bill that provides a pathway to citizenship, but includes a long wait and the payment of fines. Republican leadership calls the Senate version dead on arrival, if and when the House takes up the Senate measure.

Resident Evil 6
Can we get back to basics for RE7?
NO BUMP NO BUMP!! Kidding, But I still respect your opinion but I still disagree. And By the way I really like the Melees and this game has a ton of suspense.. To me at least. I don't know I just really like this direction.
"How about you come down here and I'll show you"- Ada Wong to Derek Simmons (RE6)
Last night I made this post before finishing Ada's campaign. The ship/oil platform or whatever did get a bit skin crawly at the end there lol.
BlitzPanther posted...
Another thing I didnt get is I made through Jake and Leons campaigns just fine, but I spent half of Chris getting knocked on my ass via Javo mutations and sniper fire. I'd be glad if they would axe the whole BOW idea and just got back to the classic zombie, cerberus, hunter, licker equation.
Even the first game calls the creatures "BOWs".
XSilverPhoenixX posted...
They need to get rid of all the melee combat because that is pure cheese and it makes you want to play the whole game like a beatem up.
Yeah, RE 6 is pretty much FF XIII in terms of extreme linearity, and dumbed down content...even XIII-2 had QTEs. Sigh....
Look alive, you fools.
It doesn't matter what Capcom does. The "I played RE since launch on PS1" crowd will always find something to moan and cry about.
Personally, I think a re-introduction of exploration, treasure hunting and weapon customization would be nice. Control wise however I think it would be foolish to go back. Why give us all this freedom for it to be taken away from us in the next installment?
BlitzPanther posted...
Resident Evil use to be about not knowing whats around the next corner, eerie and suspenseful. I got a slight feel of the classic RE when playing as Leon on the campus level/town and the city after the zombie gas missile. The whole game should be like that, slow and eerie.
Resident Evil used to be about protagonists placed in a situation where they have to deal with a biohazardous outbreak, usually while also dealing with some bio organic weapons.
oh wait, it still is.
except it doesn't play like it used to

Yeah your right, It plays WAY better. Comparing old ones to new ones isn't fair, it just ends in fighting.. But I like both.. So yeah... Take that in your pancakes and eat it..(PG)
"How about you come down here and I'll show you"- Ada Wong to Derek Simmons (RE6)
People have different opinions. My opinion is that the classics play way better and that gameplay for a main series should not change.

Guillen: Asian players treated better than Latinos
CHICAGO White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen thinks Asian players are given privileges in the United States that Latinos are not afforded.
In his latest rant, the outspoken Guillen also said he's the "only one" in baseball teaching young players from Latin America to stay away from performance-enhancing drugs and that Major League Baseball doesn't care about that.
He said MLB only cares about how often he argues with umpires and what he says to the media.
Guillen said it's unfair that Japanese players are assigned translators when they come to the U.S. to play pro ball, but Latinos are not.
"Very bad. I say, why do we have Japanese interpreters and we don't have a Spanish one. I always say that. Why do they have that privilege and we don't?" Guillen said Sunday before Chicago played the Oakland Athletics. "Don't take this wrong, but they take advantage of us. We bring a Japanese player and they are very good and they bring all these privileges to them. We bring a Dominican kid ... go to the minor leagues, good luck. Good luck. And it's always going to be like that. It's never going to change. But that's the way it is."
Guillen, who is from Venezuela, said when he went to see his son, Oney, in Class-A, the team had a translator for a Korean prospect who "made more money than the players."
"And we had 17 Latinos and you know who the interpreter was? Oney. Why is that? Because we have Latino coaches? Because here he is? Why? I don't have the answer," Guillen said. "We're in the United States, we don't have to bring any coaches that speak Spanish to help anybody. You choose to come to this country and you better speak English.
"It's just not the White Sox, it's baseball," he added. "We have a pitching coach that is Latino, but the pitching coach can't talk about hitting with a Latino guy and that's the way it is and we have to overcome all those (obstacles). You know why? Because we're hungry, we grow up the right way, we come here to compete."
Guillen said young prospects in Latin America are being influenced to use performance-enhancing drugs.
"It's somebody behind the scene making money out of those kids and telling them to take something they're not supposed to," Guillen said. "If you tell me, you take this ... you're going to be Vladimir Guerrero, you're going to be Miguel Cabrera, you're going to be this guy ... I'll do it. Because I have seven brothers that sleep in the same room. I have to take care of my mother, my dad. ... Out of this I'm going to make money to make them better."
Guillen said he's trying to educate players from Latin America about steroids and other banned drugs.
"I'm the only one to teach the Latinos about not to use," he said. "I'm the only one and Major League Baseball doesn't (care). All they care about - how many times I argue with the umpires, what I say to the media. But I'm the only one in baseball to come up to the Latino kids and say not to use this and I don't get any credit for that.

BBMB Kewangan Berhad, Malaysia's 4th largest finance company, selects PROFILE/Anyware for enterprise-wide solution.
BBMBKB and Sanchez have already launched the initial implementation phase of the PROFILE/Anyware Integrated Banking System and the PROFILE/Anyware Financial Management System as part of an accelerated IT modernization project at BBMBKB, a 40-branch, 1,000-employee financial institution devoted to consumer financial services.
Digital Equipment Corporation is supplying computer hardware for the project, which is being program-managed by Ernst & Young.
"Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand all have fast growing, highly competitive financial services sectors that require new technology infrastructures," said Frank R. Sanchez, President of Sanchez Computer Associates. "In Malaysia, for instance, most consumers can only access a savings account from the branch at which they opened their account. PROFILE/Anyware solves this problem by offering banks an enterprise-wide online processing system which provides the institution with dramatic competitive advantages at lowered cost. The situation is comparable to what we've seen in Central Europe, where PROFILE is now very well accepted."
BBMB Kewangan Berhad and it's parent, Bank Bumiputra Malaysia Berhad, are based in Kuala Lumpur and comprise one of Malaysia's fastest growing banking groups. Malaysia itself has shown a sustained economic growth of approximately 8% per annum over recent years and is postured to become one of the technological hubs in the region.
Based in Malvern, PA, with offices in Jakarta, Prague, Warsaw, and Lisbon, Sanchez Computer Associates is a leader in providing integrated software solutions and services for financial institutions worldwide. Its principal products are PROFILE/Anyware, an electronic banking server that supports emerging delivery channel technologies as well as front- and back-office processing requirements of financial institutions; PROFILE/FMS (Financial Management System), a multi-company, multi-currency cost-center based accounting system; and PROFILE/ITS (Integrated Treasury System), a system that processes treasury transactions including foreign exchange, money market, securities trading (capital markets), futures, options and trade finance.

my thoughts where of a low power, around 100-105 head size, and a medium sized racket, for example the pro team FX BLX,
but i have no experience in buying a racket so i'm waiting for you all to help and direct me.

It's been a long time since I hustled on the block
But every corner that I hit, I left it screwed up and chopped
from UGK – The Game Belongs To Me Lyrics on Genius
I haven't sold drugs or pimped women in while, but when I did I always did a lot of damage. Use of the phrase "hit a corner" constitutes a double entendre:
Every corner that he sold drugs or pimped prostitutes at, he left fucked up from all the work he did.
