Cali is the sort of person to constantly ask himself, "Well, how would I feel?" It guides him through his decisions. The last thing a passenger wants to feel after landing in an airplane, he knows, is the feeling of sitting on the tarmac. But I have arrived at my destination. Why am I not moving on with my day? So Cali won't just park the 737 down at Zulu while it waits for its gate. If at all possible, he'll keep the plane moving on the tarmac. He will pause it at Juliet, inch along, then hold for a moment at Lima. "Give the passengers the illusion of progress." That's his motto. It gives the people hope.
He turns the 737 up Alpha, tries to swing it so it arrives at Charlie 9 the second the gate becomes available. He nails it, thinks yessss.
Another controller might not have bothered with all that. Another controller might have just dumped the 737 down at Zulu, just left all those passengers stranded down there, hopeless and forlorn. To do it better doesn't matter in the scheme of things, doesn't get anyone anywhere any faster, does nothing to help LaGuardia's reputation as one of the world's most delayed airports. It's not heroic. It's not avoiding a midair collision. It's certainly not landing an Airbus A320 on the Hudson. It's just 120 passengers feeling slightly less awful about being stuck in an airplane. A little bit of humanity. A little bit of love. What of it?
early last summer, when I first visited the people at the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) union offices in Washington, D.C., to inquire about meeting some controllers, they assumed I was there to talk about misery. Did I want to understand why controllers were so miserable? In fact, my driving curiosity was about the work and not the mood of controllers. They said it would be difficult to separate the two.
They whispered a strategy for dealing with the FAA, which they spoke of as if it were shrouded in Kremlin-style inscrutability. Say this and don't say that. I would have to go through the FAA if I wanted to get access to a facility, and I would have to be very careful about how I asked. The FAA had a reputation for granting precious few such requests, and it probably wouldn't grant this one. Try this and don't try that.
When I went down 14th Street and talked to the people at the FAA about meeting some controllers, they assumed I was there to talk about misery. Had I spoken to anyone at NATCA? What did they say? They wanted to squelch rumors. They spoke of the union as if it were a bunch of bratty little girls throwing fits for a candy fix. They handed me a handsome four-color glossy report proving that controllers were happy, or if they weren't, they should be. Everything is fine. Don't panic. Everything is under control.
When moving between the union and the FAA, it is easy to feel like the only grown-up in the neighborhood.
At issue is a labor shortage. Air-traffic controllers are retiring at a rate of nearly 1,000 a year. A shriveling workforce, ever-increasing air traffic—somebody has to guide all those airplanes. You guys have to suck it up, the FAA says to the controllers. Work more hours, take fewer breaks—work six-day weeks if you have to. Yeah, you have to. Six-day workweeks are now the norm at the nation's busiest radar facilities, which are notoriously hard to staff. The fact that everyone saw this crunch coming long ago, and had been warning about it for years, makes the union nuts. Do the math. Controllers have to retire at 56. Most experienced controllers were hired in the early 1980s after the then union went on strike and President Reagan famously fired their asses. Most of the people brought aboard back then are now in their fifties and being booted out the door. And so there's been a surge in controller retirements—nearly half the workforce will become eligible for retirement in the next three years. We need more controllers! The union has been saying it for years. Our guys are falling apart here! They're gonna start making mistakes if you don't give them a break! Why won't you hire more controllers? It's not a simple task. Training takes years. We need more controllers in the pipeline!
The FAA acted, finally, in 2006. This was in the wake of failed contract negotiations. Forget it, they said. Here's your new contract. Take it or leave it. The union took it, sort of. The union refuses to use the word contract when referring to the "imposed work rules" controllers now work under. Among the 2006 changes: a salary freeze and a two-band pay scale. All new controllers would be brought in at as much as 30 percent less than those hired before the imposed work rules. A certified controller just starting out at LaGuardia tower now, for example, makes about $63,000; under the old rules, he would have started at around $93,000.
And so it was at bargain prices that the FAA finally started hiring like gangbusters in 2006. The plan is to bring aboard nearly 17,000 controllers in the next decade. Finding all those warm bodies is an issue. Gone are the days when controllers were expected to have college degrees. Now people can walk in off the street—McDonald's or Piercing Pagoda or carnival washouts. Once hired, a recruit attends the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City for three months and then gets stationed at a tower or a TRACON or a Center, where one of the already overworked controllers trains him on each position. Gone are the days when training to become fully certified at the nations' toughest facilities can take up to five years; new recruits are now fast-tracked in as little as two.

This is my XV920 Yamaha,1981 model. It weighs about 510 lb.s + all the stuff I took , so maybe in the 600 lb.s range. It also has very limited ground clearance and short travel suspension.
It's shown here on the MaGruder Corridor ,reputed to be the longest primative road in the lower 48 states, 148 miles.
You can see the mods I made to prepare for this type riding. Handguards,for weather protection and so if you do tip over ,you won't break your levers. A skid plate to protect the bottom of the engine, on the MaGruder there were hills to climb that had it ringing like cymbals from rock hits.Also a crash bar mainly because there is no frame under the motor to mount the skid plate to.It's also a good place to mount highway pegs, just to have a alternate riding position for the flats.
It's no dirt bike, not even close. But if you are determined and slow down,and pick the right line ,you can go a lot of places.
No one sells skid plates for your Honda 4, you'll have to come up with your own. Metal handguards will fit , crashbars are out there.
Stuff like this may happen. Pick it up and continue.

Two locations, one console
Can I monitor/control backups of mulitple locations from one place? I have Backup Exec 2012 on 2 servers at 2 locations and currently connect to each one to monitor or change jobs. I would like to have one place for everything. I know it sounds kind of lazy, but with everything else going on, I'll save time any chance I get.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You should install Remote Admin console to remotely monitor jobs.
Through Remote admin console you can connect to all the media server from your domain.
Refer to http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO11671
I would like to see all backup jobs in one place. Facility A's and facility B's jobs in one list.
This is possible only if you have a CASO-MMS setup
By installing Backup Exec Administrattion console you can view the jobs from both the server but not at the same time in same window. You will have to switch back and forth to see the jobs from two different machines. You can also control the Backup Exec services of both the BE installation from this Administration console.
Hope this piece of Information Helps you... and if it does then mark this response as Solution....!!!

"Carlette has coached our leadership team over the past year. Though her skilled and challenging workouts, we set the groundwork for a genuine shift in our culture. We are more aligned as a group, focused on our winning strategies and prepared to take our organization to the next level."
"Faced with the daunting task of organizing a meaningful and productive, 5 hour Strategic Planning Conference for a 100 member Board of Directors, I called Carlette for help. Carlette skillfully coached me through the process, from beginning to end. Using a sports paradigm, she taught me much more than I bargained for; indeed, I learned invaluable skills that transcended mere business principles and settled squarely on who I am as an individual and a leader. Her lessons are life changing; I assure you this is not hyperbole. Hire her only if you want to be the very best you can be both professionally and personally."
"I went to Carlette for corporate coaching on the recommendation of a fellow school board member who is one of the most respected businessmen in the Phoenix area. He steered me right. I started working with Carlette to develop a plan to transition from the head of a practice group at a major international law firm toward retirement several years down the road. Carlette has not only helped me develop and begin to implement such a plan, she has made me a more effective leader and more effective at the legal work I do on a day to day basis. I never thought I would benefit from working with a corporate coach. Now I only wish I had found Carlette sooner."
"Carlette quickly identifies the unique talents that every individual has, but few recognize. She has a wonderful gift of encouragement enabling her to quickly bring out the best in people. Carlette is a great asset to any organization. We think she is the best"
"Carlette is a master at implementing new tools to create winning strategies for corporate teams. She has the tools and coaching expertise necessary to bring corporations off of the bench and into their championship game. She is strategic, focused, and thoughtfully prepared to bring out the best in every person. Carlette is definitely a game changer."
"I never understood the concepts of being fully engaged both on and off the field in the business world. Carlette's methodology provided me with tools necessary to understand the importance of being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually balanced. Once you understand these concepts, be ready to convert your energy into a richer, more complete life experience."

Spain passes new anti-doping law
Spain passed a new anti-doping law on Thursday in an effort to clean up the country's tarnished image after the Operation Puerto case and boost Madrid's bid for the 2020 Olympics.
The new law approved by parliament includes the expansion of doping tests for athletes to night hours (11 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and costly fines for those who deal in doping substances. It also creates a new national anti-doping agency with greater autonomy and an additional focus on athletes' health.
US ATHLETES TO WATCHThe Winter Olympics in Sochi are just weeks away. See which American athletes to watch as we count down to the Games.
Dealing in banned substances in Spain will lead to fines of up to $530,000. However, the law does not make doping a crime for athletes, just a sports violation subject to bans from competition.
The president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, said the law would help Spain increase its ''credibility'' in the effort against banned performance-enhancing substances and practices.
Madrid is competing with Istanbul and Tokyo for the 2020 Games. The IOC will select the host city on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The new law was passed two days before the bid cities make presentations to national Olympic committees in Lausanne, Switzerland.
''We said that we would have a new anti-doping law before defending the candidacy before the members of the IOC in July and that's what has happened,'' said Blanco, who leads the Madrid bid. ''It's a law that meets all the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Agency.''
Spain's first anti-doping law was passed in 2006. The previous lack of doping legislation harmed Spain's image on doping and hampered police investigations like Operation Puerto. That case ended with the doctor at the center of the blood-doping ring, Eufemiano Fuentes, declared guilty and given a one-year suspended sentence for endangering the health of cyclists.
The judge's decision to destroy evidence that could have implicated athletes from other sports has been criticized by anti-doping authorities, who have appealed the ruling.
''This is the end of an opening phase and an indispensable step to bring us in line with other countries,'' said Ana Munoz, who will stay on as the director of the newly named Sports Health Protection Agency. ''It's news that will strengthen the Madrid 2020 candidacy and guarantee that all clean athletes can compete under equal conditions.''
Among measures on health, the new law requires sports facilities be equipped to handle emergencies related to heart and breathing problems.

I would assume that new sets will be added to at least the Omega Reputation. Into The Hive seems like the last Borg STF so a new enemy, Undines, or Iconians will be added for STFs. Whether the Task Force Omega deals with all new STFs or not is not known at this time. New sets need to be added for the Iconian STFs since the current STF gear is not enough for Iconians. Whether a new Reputation system will be added for the Iconians or keep the old one is not known.
For Fleet Bases, more Fleet Holdings will be added like the Embassy so fleets that get to Tier 5 will still have work to do.

Prepare for DOL whistleblower litigation. The Supreme Court has ruled on the scope of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act whistleblower provision. According to SCOTUS, SOX allows any employee to bring a whistleblower complaint, so long as the employer does business with a publicly-traded company. At the extreme edge, as the Justices noted, this means, e.g., a company officer might have to defend against a SOX claim, brought against the officer personally, by a nanny or a gardener the officer employs – provided that the nanny or gardener engaged in protected conduct. For most of us, the ruling means that any employer might face a SOX whistleblower complaint.
Remember, SOX complaints are investigated in the first instance by the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") and the investigator may order remedies, including reinstatement, at the end of the brief investigation. In such cases, the employer who disagrees with the investigator's order has to appeal, in the first place, to the DOL's Office of Administrative Law Judges and the Administrative Review Board.

text: POPSUGAR Celebrity Celebrity Photo shoots Blake Lively Pictures and Quotes in US Marie Claire Magazine Blake Lively Talks Dating and Sex in Marie Claire by Allie Merriam 12/6/12 5 Shares Like us on Facebook View in slideshow Blake Lively is on the cover of July 2012's US Marie Claire, and inside the issue, she chats about her new movie, Savages. The role in Oliver Stone's thriller is a racy one for Blake, who's best known for her work as Serena van der Woodsen on the small screen in Gossip Girl. The series ends next year, and Blake has her sights on more movie work. Blake was quick to draw distinctions between her real self and Serena, especially in the dating department, though she didn't touch on boyfriend Ryan Reynolds. Blake also spoke about her love of fashion, and what was hardest about prepping to work with Oliver Stone. Here are highlights from Blake in Marie Claire: On not being like Serena: "People like to draw parallels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl. I dress the same as my character, so they think, 'She lives this life on and off set.' I recently shared how many boyfriends I've had [four], and people were like, 'That's impossible!' But it's true. I've been with very few people. If I'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself." On the hardest part of training for Savages: "I went to the gun range and learned how to shoot a gun for the first time. It was awful. I asked myself, 'Why were these things ever invented?' But I did feel good that my first three shots were straight to the heart. It's good to know — don't mess with me in a gun battle." On not having a stylist: "My assistant will call fashion houses for me, but I always pick the outfit, shoes, jewellery, and a lot of times I do my own hair and makeup for events. Sometimes I think, 'God, why do I do this to myself? It's so much extra work!'" What's Your Reaction?

Pune: A 31-year-old woman, working with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), has filed a complaint against her immediate boss for alleged sexual harassment at workplace. The Chaturshringi police have booked the accused, identified as D N Babar, junior engineer at MSEDCL, under 354 (molestation) of IPC. However, the suspect is yet to be arrested.
As per the cops, Babar used to harass the woman by calling her in his cabin in order to discuss the office related work and used to touch her inappropriately.
The complainant, who was fed up of regular harassment, then approached the senior officials of the MSEDCL and lodged a complaint, however, during the inquiry, her colleagues did not say anything against Babar fearing that that their jobs will be jeopardized.
"Since, no one came forward to help my sister in the office, no serious action was sought against Babar," said brother of the victim.
He said that after this episode, Babar kept on harassing her physically and mentally. "My sister's mental condition started deteriorating and she could not able to concentrate on the work," he said.
The family of the victim even demanded that Babar should be transferred to other office, however no action was sought, which prompted the victim to approach the cops and register the complaint.
"We have lodged a complaint against Babar and we are investigating the case further," said PSI Patil, who is investigating the case.

ESTERO — If the Florida Gulf Coast University women basketball teams is going to three-peat as Atlantic Sun champs, the triple threat must resurface.
Last season, FGCU led the country with 10.7 3-pointers per game and knocked down an NCAA-record 324. The Eagles made 37 percent of their 925 attempts.
This season FGCU (11-4, 4-0 in A-Sun) has made just 128 of 444 attempts, a 28.8 percentage. The Eagles are averaging eight treys a game.
"We have to do more things at game-speed with shooting," FGCU coach Karl Smesko said. "I think we have better shooters than what we're shooting. It seems like we start off slow, and a couple people don't make it, it seems like it's contagious and nobody makes it."
In Monday night's 53-42 home win against North Florida, FGCU made just 6 of 32 attempts for 18.8 percent.
The Ospreys showed lots of zone, daring the Eagles to fire away from behind the arc. With FGCU missing, UNF was able to pack the paint, cutting off driving lanes.
"You've got to knock down 3s to pull them out a little bit," Smesko said. "We weren't able to hit them and they were able to guard us pretty well."
Gluesing's Game: Freshman Jaime Gluesing was a bright spot for the Eagles on Monday night, tying her career high with 11 points mostly by making 3 of 6 3-point attempts.
"Gluesing made some big plays for us, especially at the end of the game," Smesko said. "She hit a big 3 on the baseline. She got a deflection and just kept working, and we ended up getting a turnover out of it."
Gluesing, who has played in every game, starting six, averages 6.3 points and 2.1 rebounds, and her 39.1 percent 3-point accuracy (18 of 46 attempts) leads the Eagles.
"I've been feeling it lately, so if (Smesko) gives me a chance, I'm going to take it," Gluesing said. "I'm just trying to help us out."
Smesko's high-motion offense is tough to pick up, but Gluesing is getting there.
"It is really difficult," Gluesing said. "There's a ton of things you have to remember. But as long as you're going hard and you make a mistake (Smesko's) not going to be mad at you.
"I do a lot more thinking than I used to, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. It's getting easier."
FGCU, which is tied with Stetson for the A-Sun lead, is at East Tennessee State (3-7, 1-2) at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Hip Check: FGCU was loaded with shooters last season, and Smesko figured he needed all the 3-point help he could get this season.
So he convinced then-senior guard Lerrin Cook, who made 60 percent of her trey tries (24 of 40), to stick around for this fifth season.
Thus far, it hasn't played out too well, thanks to a nagging muscle strain in her hip. Cook has played in just 11 games this season, starting three. She has 5.5 points in 12.9 minutes, but has shot a respectable 33.9 percent from behind the arc (19 of 55). Cook did not play against UNF, and played only 10 minutes against Jacksonville on Saturday when she hit 2 of 5 3-point attempts.
"When she gets out there, she reaggravates it and it gets worse, then we shut her down ... " Smesko said. "I think she'll be out for at least a week here and we'll see if we can get the thing calmed down. It's been a struggle."
Men's Basketball: Freshman point guard Dajuan Graf is really coming on for FGCU (11-6, 3-1 in A-Sun).
A speedy replacement when sophomore Brett Comer gets breathers, Graf has played 35 minutes the last two games, scoring seven points and dishing out four assists against just one turnover.
But it's the intangibles that have FGCU coach Andy Enfield bringing him up in postgame press conferences.
"Dajuan's played excellent basketball the last three games," Enfield said. "He's really playing smarter, playing faster. He's playing much better defense and he's being a true point guard. If he can keep giving us that effort off the bench, it will really help us down the stretch."
Up Next: The men are at fellow sixth-year A-Sun program USC Upstate at 7 tonight, then play at East Tennessee State at 4 p.m. Saturday. The Eagles lost at both places last season.
"Two tough places to play," Enfield said. "Upstate's 2-0 in the league and last year they had the (A-Sun) Player of the Year (now-junior Torrey Craig), the Freshman of the Year (Ty Greene) and the Coach of the Year (Eddie Payne), so you know they're awfully good."
ETSU is just 3-12 and 1-1, but the Bucs always are a tough out, especially at home.
"ETSU plays that zone," Enfield said. "Anytime you walk into that building, it's a unique and tough place to play."
Largely because Upstate has the facilities to accommodate the network, ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app will air eight Spartans games this month. Tonight's game against the Eagles is the first.
Softball: College Sports Madness has named FGCU sophomore Shelby Morgan its Preaseason A-Sun Pitcher of the Year and the Eagles' David Deiros as the Coach of the Year.
Juniors Kristen Bembnowski and Emily Lanier and senior Jessica Barnes also were named first-team all-conference.
FGCU went 38-24 last season and won its second A-Sun regular-season title. The Eagles flew through the A-Sun tournament, and upset Florida in the Gainesville Regional in their first-ever NCAA game.
FGCU opens its season at Florida International on Feb. 13.

Asteroid Lutetia Approaching Planet In The Early Solar System
November 15, 2011
This artist's impression shows an event in the early history of the Solar System that may explain how the unusual asteroid Lutetia came to now be located in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Lutetia is seen passing close to one of the very young rocky planets about four billion years ago and having its orbit drastically altered. Its unusual spectral properties indicate that Lutetia started life as a fragment of the material that was forming the inner planets but it is now found to be an interloper much further from the Sun.

This artist seminar explores the ways in which art can be used to heal and empower ourselves and others. It offers insight into different artistic mediums and how these artists have used their practices for reclamation and transformation.
Featuring a performance by writer Yrsa Daley-Ward, talks by Indigo Williams (poet) and Lesley Asare (visual and performance artist) of I Shape Beauty, and a panel discussion featuring Sharmila Chauhan, Aowen Jin, Vicki Igbokwe (Uchenna Dance) and Bola Agbaje.
Thank you to Media Diversified for live-streaming and filming this event.
Aowen Jin is a Chinese-born British artist and social commentator. She studies China's people, culture and artistic development from the perspective of the individuals who experience it day to day. She particularly focuses on the rapidly evolving social culture in China today, and how this impacts the lives of younger generations of Chinese women like herself. She uses art as a social catalyst, creating dialogues with people in China. Through her Factory Girls Project she was able to interview more than 800 factory workers, living among them, sharing their lives, and finally collaborating with them to produce art works.
Sharmila Chauhan is playwright and prose writer. Her play – The Husbands – an exploration of polyandry and matriarchy, toured nationally in 2014 with venues including London's Soho theatre (Kali and Pentabus Theatre). Her first play Born Again/Purnajanam was performed at Southwark Playhouse (Kali Theatre, Jan 2012) as part of Tagore's women. She is a graduate of the Royal Court, Tamasha and Kali's writing program. Sharmila was shortlisted for the Asian New Writer award (2009 and 2012). She is currently working on her novel Seven Mirrors. Fascinated by the quiet meaning in people's lives: her work is often a transgressive meditation on love, sex and exploration of the diaspora.
Yrsa Daley-Ward is an actor, writer and poet of mixed West Indian and West African heritage, born and raised in Lancashire and now living in London. Drawing heavily on her own experiences, Yrsa interweaves each discipline to fuse poetry with theatre, music and storytelling and has been writing for as long as she can remember. Her debut collection of short stories 'On Snakes and Other Stories', is published by 3:AM Press and available in Foyles, Amazon and Galleybeggars.com.
Yrsa has performed her work at several theatre and performance spaces in London including the Soho and Lyric theatre, Rich Mix and the Albany. Her poetry has also been exhibited at the Tate Modern.

Washington, Jan 10: A new study has found that the diminution of depression is much slower in people who have suffered physical abuse or experienced parental addictions in their childhood than those who haven't gone through such hardships.
University of Toronto investigators examined a range of factors associated with remission in a sample of 1,128 depressed Canadian adults, drawn from the National Population Health Survey.
Depressed individuals were followed every other year until remission occurred, for up to 12 years.
"Our findings indicated that most people bounce back. In fact, three-quarters of individuals were no longer depressed after two years," co-author Emeriti Tahany M. Gadalla reported. However, not everyone recovered at the same rate.
Lead author Esme Fuller-Thomson, Sandra Rotman Endowed Chair in the University's Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work said that early adversities have far-reaching consequences and the average time to recovery from depression was 9 months longer for adults who had been physically abused in their childhood and about 5 months longer for those whose parents had addiction problems.
Co-author Marla Battiston said that numerous studies have shown that childhood abuse and parental addictions make individuals more vulnerable to depression, but their research highlights that these factors also slow the recovery time among those who become depressed.
Although this study could not determine why childhood adversities are associated with poor depression outcomes, the researchers speculate that negative experiences may interrupt the normal development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which affects stress regulation.
The study is published in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology. (ANI)

But did you see the part where Zero is siding with Kaname?

But did you see the part where Zero is siding with Kaname?
In fighting and protecting Yuuki, nothing else and even says as much. Not in saying that he's giving up or going to stop being at her side. Though as usual this all is in normal world instead of delusional world.
"Love: Its about finding someone that's already the right fit." -JD (paraphrase)
Hmm. I liked Kaname in the beginning, but as the story progressed, he got really possessive and his intentions were shady. It didn't help that Yuuki was infatuated by him, and totally ignored Zero as a result.. Honestly.. I feel sorry for Zero.. It must've been hard seeing Yuuki and Kaname together 24/7 before she turned into a vampire.
Kishi no Kiss wa Yuki Yori Yasashiku (騎士のKissは雪より優しく) Masato babyyy <3
I voted for other because of Yuki when it bugs the hell out of me when she has to do the 'wah-wah-wah Im in love with Kaname but wah-wah-wah I am also in love with Zero. Wah-wah-wah and Melodrama stuff' Chocolatese would've liked it if she just made a decision already! (P.S Im having a mixed feeling with chapter 93.)
For some reason I like Kpop.
I hate Yukii and that Sara girl pissed me off
I really hate ruka but I don't like kaname either I hate both equally
glad im not the only who didn't like yuki. I chose kaname cause while i was watching at first i was just like "i despise him he's the worst" not to mention i felt so bad for zero! but then as time progressed my hatred for yuki grew. i really did not like her[black] at all[/black]. her wishy-washiness and overall stupidness was so annoying. i just came to hate the entire story.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
then i found out that the manga was all finished and figured i should find out what happened. So i read the end and there were no words... how could she give herself up for kaname when she is married to zero and even has kids?!?!?!?! she still dreams about kaname at nigh?!?!? really?!?! why marry zero in the first place then?!?!? if she cared about him at all, then she should have let him find happiness else where! gahhhh it was annoying. the only good thing about that anime was the music.
I no longer have a life. Thanks anime.
!!Kaname never liked him in the anime or the manga!!
Haa Cant get Tokyo ghoul's OP outta my head!!

Value for money is great, especially if you book from hostelworld.com. Dorm room is really spacious and large, with large roof windows. It also is the cleanest I have stayed in so far. The shower facility is nice as well. The downside is location. You do have a bit of a hike up from the center to where the hostel is. There is no WIFI, which is a problem, because you have to hike down to the center and find a cafe to get it. You have a slow computer with 10mb/s. But overall, good value.
Orient HostelIstanbul, Turkey
The hostel staff are splendid--friendly, helpful, and have a sense of humor. I got invaluable advice not only from the travel agency in the hostel (which is great by the way), but the staff as well. Breakfast was great, with french toast, fresh tomato, cucumber, hard boiled egg, cereal, yogurt.. Shower isn't the best. Shower taps make water come down funny, but the temperature is fine and it's spacious inside. Bar/cafe attached to hostel is a great place to hang around. Loud at night.

4,000 still in Laguna flood shelters
More News from Southern Luzon Bureau
STA. CRUZ, Laguna—The massive floods that covered a large part of Laguna in August have receded but many residents in the affected areas are still to see dry land, according to the Provincial Disaster Risks Reduction Management Council (PDRRMC).
Jen Sorel S. Jasareno, chief of the Laguna PDRRMC, told Inquirer on Wednesday that although floods in 19 municipalities and cities in Laguna have receded, floods linger in villages that are close to Laguna Lake.
Occasional downpours and recent storms prolong the flooding in parts of the province, he said.
In the capital town of Sta. Cruz, floods receded in the public market, which was under water for three months, but four shoreline villages are still submerged in flood waters.
A disaster report prepared by the Sta. Cruz Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office said more than 4,000 people still live in 16 evacuation centers because their homes are still under water.
The evacuees are from the lakeshore villages of San Pablo Norte, Santisima, Sto. Anghel Norte and Green.
The Inquirer visited areas in the towns of Pagsanjan, Lumban, Kalayaan, Paete, Pakil, Pangil and Siniloan and saw large tracts of rice fields and agricultural land that are still flooded.
Couple Melvin and Elena Cortez, who live with their five children near the banks of Ilog Putol River in the boundary of Siniloan and Pangil towns, told Inquirer that before Tropical Storm "Ofel" came on Oct. 25, the floods have already receded.
The couple said they were ready to prepare their farm for planting but Ofel struck and brought floods again.

Vancouver to Penticton, Tuesday, 24 July 2012, Day 50
Day started with a couple of Skype phone calls first to Aurora Motorcycles in Seattle which turned out very good as they where able to fit me this Thursday and will probably be able to do most of the work the question is do I need to anything with the valves not sure as this would be time consuming and potentially expenses not sure what is needed will discuss this with them tomorrow. So with a known time line for the service I could now make a decision on where to go in the interim. I decided it would be expensive to go to Victoria just for one night so decided to head for Penticton and stay the night there and then head to Seattle tomorrow.
Last Tim Hortons Breakfast or is it?[/caption]
Lovely ride again the weather was good and I recall doing this route 4 years ago in the other direction in the pissing rain so today I could actually see something and it was really nice. The roads where empty and wide and sweeping spent about 2 hours tailing an old fella on a Harley who was keeping a nice reasonably fast pace. With him leading I could use him as sign of any trouble or rough road and it was good that by using him as a pace maker a more relaxing ride for me as I habit of letting myself go and then getting into all sorts of trouble and overcooking it so following this bloke who was smooth fast and risk adverse it was a very pleasant ride he spotted the bear first and nearly squished Bambi and I had the best seat in the house. It was hot day so completely different from yesterday and arrived in Penticton at about 7 as I had a little stop at Fort Langley to squeeze the last value out of my Parks Canada Discovery Card.

Last night in Canada and the big America adventure is about to start. I must say I love Canada it is a gorgeous beautiful place and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here if the US is half good as this then I am in for an excellent time :-)

Big Sioux River Cleanup
By Steve Zwemke
Project AWARE (A Watershed Awareness River Expedition) is the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' annual week-long river cleanup. Each year AWARE volunteers collect tons of trash (72% of which has been recycled) from miles of rivers. This year South Dakota will benefit as they have selected the Big Sioux River from Gitchie Manitou to North Sioux City as its targeted cleanup from July 12-19. Project AWARE coordinator Lynette Seigley presents an informational meeting Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at the Sioux Falls Downtown Library. Seigley will discuss the timing, logistics, registration and costs of the project. The South Dakota Sierra Club is working with Project AWARE and other organizations to help with this event.

Up to 3 storms expected this September–Pagasa
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Up to three storms are still expected this September as the southwest monsoon would end in the last week up to first week of October, state forecasters said Wednesday.
Gilbert Aquino of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said however that storms were still possible even if "hanging habagat" or the southwest monsoon would shift to "hanging amihan" or northeast monsoon by October.
The northeast monsoon brings cold winds from China and Siberia, which is also identified with Christmas season in the Philippines.
Weather in the country will be generally sunny as there is no weather disturbance spotted near and within the Philippine area of responsibility, Aquino said.
However, isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms will still be affecting the whole country, including Metro Manila.
A ridge of high pressure area is affecting Luzon and is causing the warm weather.
Light to moderate winds blowing from the northwest to west prevail over Luzon and coming from the southwest over the rest of the country. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate, Pagasa said.

Manufacturers in the brick, ceramic and glass industries have to deal with notoriously difficult challenges in material size reduction. What makes glass and ceramics tough, durable products presents difficulties during the preparation of raw materials. Recycling process scrap and end-of-life disposal are important in considering the size reduction requirements.
The basics of size reduction are simple. Size reduction is simply putting energy into material to make large pieces smaller. Hundreds of machines-ranging from simple to complex-exist to accomplish this objective in many industries and for many materials. A variety of machinery choices are available simply because one size does not fit all. Selecting the best type of equipment for your process will affect plant profitability.
Evaluating Size Reduction NeedsFive basic questions should be asked to begin an evaluation of a size reduction process. If you begin your project by defining these variables, you will be off to a good start:
- What is the material to be crushed?
- What is the size range of the feed to the crushing machine?
- What is the desired production rate (Kg/HR, TPH, PPH)?
- What is the moisture range of the raw material?
- What is the size range desired of the material after crushing?
Machine TypesCompanies that offer a limited size reduction product range (i.e., only one or two types) will logically be more limited in the solutions they can provide. The temptation exists to offer sub- optimal solutions by stretching to meet size reduction processing objectives.
For example, maximum feed size can limit machinery selection and applicability. Most machines are limited by the largest feed accepted. A larger machine or a different machine style altogether may have to be selected to accommodate bigger pieces in the raw material feed stream vs. the tonnage determining the machine style needed.
Reduction ratios vary by machinery type, so this can be another area where a manufacturer can be led astray. For instance, if a glass recycler wants to crush to an intermediate fine product, machines can be selected with reduction ratios of:
- 2:1-roll crusher, jaw crusher
- 10:1-vertical shaft impactors
- 20:1-cage mills, hammermills
- 200:1-ball mills
The choice of size reduction equipment impacts more than just particle size. Other factors affected by the size reduction process may not be as obvious, but they can have significance. For instance, additional factors can include:
- Ability to use one machine vs. two or three
- Operating costs vs. acquisition cost tradeoffs
- Particle shape and the effect on product quality
- Particle shape and the effect on operating costs
- Total energy required for a system
Testing and Toll CrushingThe best size reduction equipment companies operate test plants. Each year, these facilities help quantify the unique size reductions that customers need. Some North American companies have continuously operated test facilities for over 80 years and continue to test for over 100 customers a year. This service will always be in demand due to unique customer requirements.
Testing provides data on a core material processing step-size reduction-and helps to quantify the cost of ownership for the equipment. For a nominal testing fee, producers can tap into the size reduction equipment manufacturer's knowledge base.
Testing produces information on the following:
- Pre-processing and post-crushing particle size distribution
- Moisture
- Power consumption per unit processed (e.g., KW/MT)
- Wear cost estimate due to metal replacement parts
- Machinery selection confirmation
Toll crushing can allow a relationship to develop between companies before the end user invests capital in buying equipment. In the proper circumstances, toll crushing can be a valuable, worthwhile service.
After-the-Sale ServicePlant personnel with size reduction equipment should ask themselves: "When did I last see someone from the crusher manufacturer?" If you don't know or can answer "never" to this question, how good is your size reduction business partner?
Factory-trained service and parts sales personnel are part of the value proposition for your equipment selection process. Staying engaged with the crusher manufacturer will help maintain profitability by having professional advice available to keep the crushing systems running in good order. In addition, as machine designs and features are introduced, knowing the original equipment manufacturer helps plant process and maintenance stakeholders evaluate new features that can improve output, lower operating costs, or improve product quality.
Application ExampleBrick plant grinding rooms prepare clays, shales and scrap brick for blending and, ultimately, thermal processing in kilns to produce residential- and commercial-grade brick. Historically, grinding was achieved in three size reduction machines.
New features were introduced by a company that solved several problems that are pervasive in ceramic raw material preparation:
- High-moisture raw materials
- High-plasticity materials
- Abrasive
- Large feed size
- Need for a consistent particle size distribution after crushing
- Improved particle shape properties
- Ability to eliminate two crushing machines and related material handling equipment from the process, thereby lowering cost of ownership
- Consistent output production rates with varying moisture of incoming raw material
- Consistent output particle size
- Reduction in extruder power consumption due to improved particle shape
- Increase in extruder die life due to improved particle shape
- Significant reduction in direct costs due to wear parts
- Reduction in maintenance and repair costs
Industry CommitmentIs your size reduction equipment manufacturer dabbling in your industry or are they committed to your industry? Well-maintained crushers should be expected to last 20-30 years. A healthy business partner will belong to and be active in your industry trade association, develop products and features to help solve industry problems, maintain a current website on their products and services, and exhibit at industry trade shows.
Taking a step back when evaluating your choices in size reduction and consideration of these points may help guide you in the best direction objectively. You will want your partner to be there when you need them.
ConclusionDon't ignore the importance size reduction has on profitability and product quality. Take time to objectively evaluate the systems, equipment, and personnel needed to crush, screen, convey, and store your raw materials. You may be surprised at the improvement opportunities that exist in your plant.
