Armani code is a clean and refreshing scent. My wife commented me on how good it smells. I have tried several colognes and Armani code is another one of my favorites. I do like to switch up colognes from time to time and Armani code last for hours. I work in the heat and I will have to say that it is one good smell that stays clean and refreshing. You cannot go wrong with this one.

Victim, 20, kicked and has his iPhone stolen in Tilgate robbery
Posted: March 20, 2013|
A YOUNG man was kicked and robbed of his iPhone after falling over while running away from two men.
The 20-year-old victim noticed he was being followed as he walked from Whistler Close into Holbein Road in Tilgate at about 5.50pm on March 7.
The two men shouted at and then chased him, leading to him running and falling over on the corner of Holbein Road and Hogarth Road.
As he tried to get up he was kicked and felt a knee being pushed into his back.
The men then went through his trouser pockets and took his mobile phone before running off into Gainsborough Road towards the playing fields.
The men are described as in their mid-twenties.
One was white, about 6ft and skinny, wearing a grey hoodie and jeans.
The other was black, shorter and stocky, wearing a black jumper, with a "chinstrap- style" beard with no moustache.
Detective Constable Kai Murray said: "This was a frightening ordeal but fortunately the victim suffered only a bitten tongue in the incident.
"The two men together are quite distinctive and we hope that someone may recognise them."
Anyone who witnessed the robbery or may recognise the men by their descriptions is asked to call police on 101.

We construct and apply a stochastic Gaussian Process (GP) model of flight trajectory generation for pigeons trained to home from specific release sites. The model shows increasing predictive power as the birds become familiar with the sites, mirroring the animal's learning process. We show how the increasing similarity between successive flight trajectories can be used to infer, with increasing accuracy, an idealised route that captures the repeated spatial aspects of the bird's flight. We subsequently use techniques associated with reduced-rank GP approximations to objectively identify the key waypoints used by each bird to memorise its idiosyncratic habitual route between the release site and the home loft. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

DOG TAGS: A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MILITARY IDENTIFICATION TAG, 1861 to 2002. 2003 by Paul F. Braddock. This meticulously researched and scholarly written publication brings to us the complete history and explanation of military identification tags. Methods for identification of a soldier could be a piece of paper pinned to his coat or a smoothed coin, small brass disk or silver metal badge stamped or engraved with information that could identify his remains for his family. Until the Federal Government established a system to identify each soldier in 1906, many of the dead would go unidentified, as were 46% of those during the Civil War. The author divides the book into years beginning with the American Civil War, and explains the evolution of the I.D. tag. There are loads of photos throughout the book. Autographed.

In classical mathematics, the ultrafilter theorem is a theorem about ultrafilters, proved as a standard application of Zorn's lemma. In the foundations of mathematics, however, it is interesting to consider which results are implied by it or equivalent to it (very few imply it without being equivalent, other than those that imply the full axiom of choice itself).
Given a set , every proper filter on may be extended to an ultrafilter (that is, a maximal proper filter) on .
Given a proper filter on , consider the poset of proper filters that refine (contain) , ordered by inclusion (reverse refinement). Of course, is in this poset. Given a chain of proper filters that refine , the union is a proper filter that refines and is an upper bound of . By Zorn's lemma, there is a proper filter maximal among those that refines , which is therefore maximal among all proper filters.
Although this proof uses Zorn's lemma, the statement itself is weaker. In particular, it is weaker than the axiom of choice (even assuming the principle of excluded middle).
Here are several statements equivalent (internal to an arbitrary topos) to the ultrafilter theorem.
The first three are, if you work through the definitions, almost direct rephrasings of the theorem above:
Every net has a universal subnet. (We must define 'subnet' and 'universal net' properly to make this work, at which point the equivalence is immediate.)
The Boolean prime ideal theorem: every proper ideal in a Boolean ring is contained in a prime ideal. (Stronger formulations of the Boolean prime ideal theorem also follow.)
The Stone representation theorem: every Boolean algebra is a subalgebra of some (classical) power set . (Stronger formulations of the Stone representation theorem also follow.)
These basic results in logic are equivalent to the ultrafilter theorem:
Consistency: if a set of formulas in propositional classical logic is syntactically consistent (proves no contradiction), then it is semantically consistent (has a model). (The converse is immediate; stronger formulations of the consistency theorem, including for predicate logic, also follow.)
Compactness: if every finite subset of has a model, then so does . (The converse is immediate; stronger formulations of the compactness theorem, including for predicate logic, also follow.)
Various characterisations of compact spaces are equivalent to the ultrafilter theorem:
Given a set , the space (in the product topology) is compact. (This can be seen as a very weak form of the Tychonoff theorem below.)
More generally, if every ultrafilter on a convergence space is convergent, then is compact.
A uniform space is compact if it is complete and totally bounded. (The converse is immediate.)
These classical results in analysis are equivalent to the ultrafilter theorem in a Boolean topos with natural numbers object:
The Tychonoff theorem for Hausdorff spaces: any product of compact Hausdorff spaces is compact; equivalently, any product of compact Hausdorff spatial locales is spatial. (If we drop the Hausdorff condition, then the result is equivalent to the full axiom of choice.)
Stone–Čech compactification: the compact Hausdorff spaces form a reflective subcategory of Top. (The classical result that they form a reflective subcategory of the category of completely regular Hausdorff spaces is enough; the classical result that the reflection is a dense embedding on also follows.)
Banach-Alaoglu theorem?: the closed unit ball of the double dual of a Banach space is weak* compact. (The result for separable spaces does not require the ultrafilter theorem.)
Of course, since the ultrafilter theorem is independent of ZF, there are models in which it fails. More strongly, however, there are apparently models of ZF in which every ultrafilter (on every set) is principal. See this MO answer.
Various equivalences with the ultrafilter theorem are stated and proved (in ZF) in
See a summary (in GIF!): page 1 and page 2.
It's possible that I've made some mistakes above in deciding which of these use excluded middle or the existence of a natural numbers object. (I very much doubt that any of them use replacement.)

As Jim Caldwell lines up interviews with the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins for vacant head coaching positions, there are some who would prefer he'd get one of those jobs so the Ravens could hire a new offensive coordinator.
Caldwell deserves another shot at being a head coach, and if he doesn't get it, the Ravens should bring him back as the offensive coordinator. His critics will point to the Ravens being No. 30 in the NFL in both total offense and rushing. They will tell you how bad the Ravens were inside the red zone and at protecting the quarterback.

OKALOOSA ISLAND —Okaloosa County officials and Okaloosa Island firefighters are keeping an eye on a measure to give firefighters better access to the beach behind the Gulfarium.
Beach erosion coupled with a pipe used by the Gulfarium for its exhibits had made the beach behind the marine park impassable to firefighters during high tide and high surf, according to Fire Chief Robert Tilley.
Firefighters use a Ford F-150 pickup truck when they respond to beach calls, Tilley said. If firefighters responding to a swimmer in distress on one side of the pipe were called to an emergency on the other side, they had to get back out on U.S. Highway 98 rather than simply drive down the breach.
"It would put a slight delay on the response," Tilley said.
The erosion on the beach is the main issue, but the Gulfarium's pipe that was emptying water onto the sand made the problem worse, Tilley said.
However, the Gulfarium recently lengthened the pipe by 20 feet. That seems to have helped, at least during normal weather, said Tracey Vause, Okaloosa County's beach safety chief.
"As long as it provides us a way to traverse the area and make rescues, we're happy," Vause said.
County engineers called it a "reasonable solution," Vause said. Beach safety officials and firefighters will keep an eye on the area to see what happens during more serious conditions.
Beach erosion is a problem for the entire length of Okaloosa Island, Vause said. Severe weather and structures contribute to it.
"There are a handful of choke points on the beach that are challenges," Vause said. "It doesn't keep us from getting there in several different spots."

Apple Inc. this week pulled the iOS image-sharing app of a startup after receiving complaints it featured pornographic images, a tech site reported Wednesday.
Reviewers had flagged the "500px" app for objectionable content, according to a report posted on tech site The Next Web.
"The app was removed from the App Store for featuring pornographic images and material, a clear violation of our guidelines. We also received customer complaints about possible child pornography. We've asked the developer to put safeguards in place to prevent pornographic images and material in their app," it quoted an Apple spokesperson as saying.
"Note that the Apple statement only says that it received customer complaints about possible child pornography. That doesn't mean that the service hosts such imagery intentionally or condones it, but there was apparently enough information for Apple to take action," it added.
But 500px issued its own statement in response to Apple's reasoning, saying it takes such complaints very seriously.
"We take the issue of child pornography incredibly seriously. There has never been an issue or one complaint to us about child pornography. Although it has never happened, a complaint of this nature would be taken very seriously and would immediately be escalated to appropriate law enforcement agency. In all our conversations with Apple a concern about child exploitation was never mentioned," it said.
A separate article on TechCrunch quoted Tchebotarev as saying the nudes found via the app are artistic, as 500px' community tends to include professional photographers and photo enthusiasts.
"We don't allow pornographic images. If something is purely pornographic, it's against our terms and it's deleted," he said.
Apple notice
The report said Apple sent a notice to 500px, notifying it that it was too easy to find "objectionable nude content" using the app's search function.
It added the 500px team learned it could prevent such content from appearing through searches by tweaking its backend databases.
The Next Web quoted 500px COO Evgeny Tchebotarev as saying the fix is being put into place now.
It added 500px plans to implement a "more elegant" filtering solution that would prevent the content from being displayed.
Also, Tchebotarev said 500px is continuously working on the filtration processes that it uses to make sure that people do not see nudity unless they wish so. — TJD, GMA News

I am trying to find out how the TPM performs an integrity measurement on a system. It is well-documented in the TPM specification how it seals the data it has measured in the PCRs and how it is updated. But that which I can't find explained is how the TPM actually performs the integrity measurements that it is sealing in the first place. To know if the system is in a given state or not it has to measure it, but how does it do that? And what is it that it actually measures? Most papers seem to gloss over this, and I get the feeling that ready-for-storage-in-PCR-data just appears out of the blue.
There's basically two way of doing this;
SRTM takes place at system boot. The first thing booting up - normally the BIOS boot block - which is the Core Root of Trust for Measurements (CRTM) - will measure the BIOS and send the value (hash) to the TPM (within Platform Configurations Register 0 - PCR 0) before passing execution to it. Then the BIOS measure the next thing in the boot chain and again send the value to the TPM, same for the boot loaders, etc. It's important to understand that while the TPM collects those measurements, it does not take action on them - actually, it can't. The value of those measurements can only be seen with the seal()/unseal()/quote()/etc operations. See TrustedGrub.
DRTM is very different as it's something happening while the system is running. Intel implementation is called Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) while AMD use the name Secure Virtual Machine (SVM). The goal of DRTM is to create a trusted environment from an untrusted state. In reality, it creates a secure/clean state and will report (measurement) on a piece of code someone wants to execute (aka Measured Launched Environement (MLE)). See Tboot.
Without going into details, Intel's DRTM works by calling a set of new CPU instructions (SMX) which tells the CPU and the chipset to perform a very specific set of tasks (GETSEC) which ensure nothing else then a special code can run, i.e. SINIT Authenticated Code Module (ACM). This part includes disabling all but one CPU and blocking/stopping everything currently running: all other processes, interrupts and I/O (via IOMMU, e.g. to avoid DMA attacks). Then, all CPU rejoin in a clean state - anything executed before is discarded. At this point the signature of this special code (SINIT ACM) gets validated and its identity (hash) is sent to the TPM (PCR 17). Afterwards, execution is passed to the ACM which measure the MLE and sends the measurement to the TPM (PCR 18). Finally, execution is passed to the MLE.
Now - just like SRTM - someone could use unseal() to reveal a secret which is only available if the trusted MLE is loaded, i.e. the correct PCR values are stored in the TPM. Consequently, the MLE can deduce the trusted code is loaded and nothing else, e.g. no need to trust the BIOS/OS.
UPDATED - I feel the answer is not quite complete without this part:
The security of those mechanisms relies on the fact that PCRs values cannot be set (or forged) but only extended (TPM_Extend). This means whenever a measurement is sent to a TPM, the hash of the concatenation of the current value of the PCR and the new measurement is stored (i.e. new_value = Hash(old_value || new_measurement)). Obviously, there's a beginning to all of this:
For more info, I suggest you read this 101 and then this document.
Hope this helps,
The TPM main specification is meant to be platform-independent. That is why no details about what is actually measured during startup are contained, because obviously the components differ from platform to platform. If you are interested in what is measured during the boot of a PC, you should take a look at section 1.3 (Overview of Measurement Process) of the TCG PC Client Specific Implementation Specification for Conventional BIOS.
Details on how the measurements are processed and stored in the PCRs can be found in the TPM Main Specification. Part 1, section 4.4 (Platform Configuration Register (PCR)) might be a good place to start.
I would also recommend taking a look at the TCG Architecture Overview to get the big picture, this is not directly related to your question, however.

Location: Horticultural Crops Research
2013 Annual Report
Contaminated ground: Inoculum of Phytophthora spp. in nursery soil and gravel beds leads to recurrent infection in many nurseries. Growers have few options of disinfesting contaminated ground because of increasingly strict regulations on the use of soil fumigants. We investigated soil solarization as a method for disinfesting compacted nursery soils from Phytophthora pini and P. ramorum in field trials in California and Oregon. Soil solarization under the test conditions in California appears to offer an effective means of eliminating P. ramorum from at least the upper layers (top 15 cm) of the soil profile, where most of the naturally occurring inoculum is located.
Used containers: Inoculum of Phytophthora pini and two other plant pathogens, Rhizoctonia solani, and Pythium irregulare, were placed in sachets as a bioassay for determining the effectiveness of solarization for disinfesting used containers. Sachets and dataloggers were placed in 1-gal containers at five different locations within pallets each holding 2100 nested pots. Pallets of pots were placed outdoors at each of four sites: the OSU Botany and Plant Pathology Farm, the Oregon State University (OSU) West Greenhouse area, and the OSU Hysslop Farm. One pallet was also placed inside a closed greenhouse at Hysslop Farm. After two weeks, dataloggers were removed and sachets were assayed for pathogen viability. P. pini was assayed by baiting with leaf disks and plating onto semi-selective media (PARPH).
Solarization of pots was inconsistent in eliminating soilborne pathogens except when pallets were placed inside the greenhouse. Although recovery of Phytophthora pini was 0% from solarized pots, it was only 23% from the lab, suggesting that another factor such as low moisture or immature chlamydospores reduced survival of this pathogen across locations. Temperature maxima ranged from 37°C to 73.5°C. Temperatures were highly variable among pot position within the pallet load and across locations. All of the pot positions of the pallet solarized within the greenhouse achieved at least 20 hours above 50°C. One factor that could have contributed to inconsistent kill was lack of moisture throughout the pallet load. Heat could also have been lost from the base of the pallet not covered by the plastic film.
Infested irrigation water: We tested the relationship between P. pini inoculum dose and disease severity in a detached rhododendron leaf assay. At inoculum doses below 10,000 zoospores mL-1, P. pini was unable to consistently infect leaves unless the leaves were wounded. Treatment of zoospores that resulted in encystment, such as pumping them through a spray apparatus, or physically agitating them by vortexing, also reduced their infectivity. These results suggest that infested irrigation water is unlikely to provide inoculum at levels necessary to cause foliar infection of P. pini under most circumstances. Dose-response relationships for other Phytophthora species have not been evaluated.
We also compared several commercial algaecides and a locally-produced rhamnolipid biosurfactant for their effectiveness in lysing zoospores of Phytophthora ramorum and preventing infection of rhododendron leaf disks in vitro. Pro-Clear (aluminum chlorhydrate) and Algae-Off (sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate) were effective at the labeled rate, as was the AGAE rhamnolipid surfactant at the 100 mg L-1 rate.
Future experiments Contaminated ground: Efforts are underway to model the survival of P. ramorum and P. pini in relation to soil temperature and moisture. Additional research is aimed at understanding how to maximize the effectiveness of solarization in killing soilborne Phytophthora species in commercial nurseries in California, Oregon, and Washington, and to determine how the presence of crushed rock on the soil surface affects soil heating. Used containers: Solarization of used containers will be conducted with the addition of moisture to improve the effectiveness of lethal heating. Irrigation water: Additional research will include comparison of the locally-produced biosurfactant and the recently labeled surfactant, Zonix, for effectiveness in lysing zoospores of P. ramorum.

This blog started after a cold, wet winter night, when a transport trailer carrying pigs crashed, spilling several pigs onto a busy highway. Some were hit by oncoming cars and later shot by police officers. It started as a love story to the one pig we rescued from yet another scene of carelessness and animal suffering. It has evolved into a place where I can archive and discuss the unjust, dark, and deceptive world of the meat industrial complex.

Grief for Animals: Charles Dickens on Grip; D.E.M. on Busker
Charles Dickens wrote some wonderful letters when his pet raven, Grip, died. Dickens said that to mourn Grip, he tied black bows on the stable handles. A very Victorian ritual. Grip was 39 years old, I think.
I am not sure what to write about Busker that won't sound like cliche or like an echo chamber of everyone's words on their dearly beloved kitty's passing.
I was wrong: Busker didn't have a bad cold.
He still purred; he hung out. But he had trouble eating and didn't want to go outside. So, I took him to the animal hospital to see if he could get antibiotics or a tooth pulled or something.... and on the way there, driving in the car, Busker purring in the passenger seat, my stomach literally clenched. The body realizes what the mind doesn't sometimes. I realized I would be returning home without him.
Oh, he looked so tired on the metal examining table. So tired. The vet said there was no hope and to say goodbye.
My guilt is this: I didn't hold him for the procedure. I couldn't do it. I couldn't stop crying. I just wanted to say goodbye to him while he was alive, except I could hear him meowing as I left him in the other room.
That's what I'm left with, for now.
Oh, and the photos and memories of him. Did he ever love my kid when I brought her home from the hospital after her birth. Look at him up there. He thought she was the greatest thing ever.
My other cat, the one who preferred men to women, wasn't all that impressed :)
They're all such individuals. This is what horrifies me about factory farms and slaughter and everything: each one of those animals has a distinct personality and sound of voice and preference in the world.
Ah well. No time for that now.

Since 1992, the Craft Center has provided guests with a rare glimpse into the historic crafts and technologies that allow the Museum to so vividly re-create the look and feel of the 17th century. Using tools, materials and craft techniques of the 1600s, Native artisans make stone, wood and sinew tools, porcupine headdresses and hand-coiled clay pots. Other artisans practice historic English trades, making reproductions of the objects that 17th-century colonists imported from England. Our joiners and cabinetmakers, potters and tailors provide the Museum's 17th-Century English Village with its accurate material culture. All of our celebrated artisans are involved in the important work of reviving and perpetuating ancient technologies that are in danger of being lost. To learn more about current programs and exhibits at the Craft Center, click the links to the left.
JUST ANNOUNCED! The Craft Center Renovation and Expansion Project
Traditional crafts, encompassing those arts and trades of everyday life for Native People and the English Colonists—including cabinet-making, textiles, beadwork, basket-making, cooking, baking, metal-smithing and more—have been an area of increasing interest to our guests, and thus an identified area of growth. Expanding these exhibits aligns perfectly with the Museum's educational mission. The plan will add a bakery to the Craft Center where guests can view demonstrations of 17th-century baking techniques, people of all ages can learn about the process from processing the grain to baking bread.
As the new hub of the Museum experience, critical renovation and essential expansion will add hands-on activities, baking facilities and craft apprenticeships. We plan to renovate the Craft Center to provide essential visitor rest services, such as comfortable seating, updated lavatories, air-conditioning and an inviting outdoor space to rest, and enjoy the view.
Augmenting the Craft Center interior redesign is the open-air pavilion. This multi-purpose, outdoor space adjacent to the Craft Center will be used for demonstrations and hands-on activities. The new pavilion will have movable seating and a weatherproof sound system. On busy days for school groups this will also provide a place to eat bag lunches out of the sun or rain. This will also be a natural place for further orientation and outdoor learning experiences – and a perfect spot for guests to simply relax for a while or to wait for other members of their party.
To learn how you can support this project, call Courtney Roy-Branigan, Director of Development, at 508-746-1622 Ext. 8203, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Flashing speed sign 'really does help' on West Main
Feb 13, 2014 - Jen Lowry
The other day I was driving on West Main Street, and the sign that shows your speed as you are driving had been put up.
I think this is a very good idea on that part of Riverton, because people don't really understand how fast they are going. On this day you faced the sign as you were driving into town heading east toward downtown, and just about every single car (including me) was going faster than 30 mph, which is the speed limit.
I was only going 33, so I slowed down pretty quick. But there were two other vehicles in the same area that were going much faster. The sign flashed "44" on one and "45" on the other. This was well into town near the car wash.
There is so much traffic up on West Main Street, and I am glad this flashing sign is available. It is very educational. Could it be put up more often? I really think it does help.

Beat Illinois, Now 3-0 in Big Ten
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The No. 43 Indiana women's tennis team won its second Big Ten match in as many days with a 4-3 victory over No. 51 Illinois on Sunday afternoon in the Atkins Tennis Center. With the win, the Hoosiers are now 3-0 in league play and 9-7 on the year, while the Illini slip to 8-6 overall and 2-1 in conference action.
"This was total team effort win today," Indiana head coach Lin Loring said. "We had everyone on the team contribute in some way. Everybody either won a doubles or singles match today. When we do that we are a tough team to beat."
The Cream and Crimson secured the doubles point and won three of the singles contests en route to the win. IU has won all three of its Big Ten matches on the road this year.
"This is a great start to our Big Ten season," Loring said. "This match was very close today, and so was the one yesterday with Purdue. They could have gone either way, but it was a very successful weekend for us to win them both."
Indiana claimed the doubles point by sweeping all three of the tandem matches. Senior Dominika Walterova and junior Sarah Batty upended junior Brianna Knue and freshman Macall Harkins, 8-4, at the No. 1 spot. The IU twosome evens their spring mark to 3-3.
Sophomore Laura McGaffigan and freshman Brianna Williams downed senior Cynthya Goulet and junior Pavlina Akritas, 8-3, at No. 2, and senior Dora Vastag and sophomore Cecile Perton got the best of freshmen Alejandra Cuadra and Momei Qu, 8-4, at the No. 3 spot.
McGaffigan and Williams square their spring slate at 6-6, while Vastag and Perton are now 10-3 in 2005 and 16-5 overall.
Batty made the match 2-0 in favor of the Hoosiers with a straight-set, 6-3, 6-1, win at No. 2 over Harkins. The Chesterfield, England, product is now 10-6 in dual matches and 13-7 overall.
Williams and Perton sealed the match for IU with conquests at No. 5 and 6, respectively. Williams bested Cuadra, 6-0, 6-3, and Perton battled back to beat Akritas in three-sets, 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.
Vastag fell to Goulet, ranked 59th in the nation, 6-1, 6-4 at No. 1, Qu edged McGaffigan, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4, at No. 3, and Knue upended Walterova, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, at No. 4.
The Hoosiers will return to the courts on Friday, April 1, for a Big Ten match against No. 2 Northwestern. The contest is slated to begin at 4 p.m.

If you want to find married ladies looking for a male (sex) partner outside of their marriage, you might also find this article interesting, that talks about the best place to find single and married, black and white ladies - the internet. Going online is actually your best choice when you want to meet and date ladies that are looking for a hot guy that understands their sexual needs. Beautiful merried ladies wanting sex with a man they met on the world wide web can be a lot of fun, no strings attached, just pure pleasure.
By Reese Taylor
Adult men looking for discreet dealings can think it is tricky to get a partner, it is not like guys can broadcast the fact over the radio: it's essential to know the place to look. Many adult men in search of an affair with a woman need a woman that's quite close to home so they needn't need to travel too far, but where to look? You cannot march into neighborhood bars and begin approaching married females, there's one way: the web.
Millions of married men and women go on websites every single calendar day to get other hitched people to start married affairs with. One can find thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of dating web sites on the web but for those who seek hitched ladies it can be irritating searching on these websites, particularly men who are a married guy. The most effective place to look is on exclusive married affair sites. Married liaison websites enable one to discreetly search for married women in your hometown and adjoining areas.
Married affair web-sites are great because you understand of the fact that others on the site are searching for the exact same thing. In standard courting sites you could have to spend hours searching through singles so as to come across also married people seeking an discreet relationship. These users regularly will have been on married liaison sites before and shall be at ease with things but will understand how you are feeling and what you will call for.
If you have joined up to a married liaison site you will be able to search any region for married women willing to have an affair. The larger the range that you are ready to trek the more ladies one is going to be able to hook up with, and clearly the further from your hometown the less risk of getting caught out. In these sort of web sites you always get what you pay for, an affordable membership rate on a paid members site would usually find one superior women than free of charge internet sites.
The most important part in the married affair is discretion, particularly if you happen to be married as well. Neither the dude or the married woman in a married affair will need their other half learning about the affair, they usually just feel like a bit of extramarital fun. Many people have open relationships and allow their spouse to have an affair, or every now and then even observe them do it, but for the aim of this article we are discussing extramarital affairs.

Daughter of Paul Walker did not witness his death
Paul Walker really died, sadly but source said his daughter, Meadow did not witness his death. claimed by the rep posting on Paul's Official Facebook page
It is unfortunate that claims are being made to the media that Paul's daughter Meadow was at the event on Saturday when the accident occurred. We want to clarify that Paul went to the event alone. Meadow was not at the charity event on Saturday and thankfully, did not witness the accident. Any claims stating otherwise are inaccurate.
Sadly, there's also numerous people creating fake social media profiles claiming to be Meadow. We would like everyone to know that Meadow does not currently have any public profiles and is not currently active on social media. We ask that her privacy be respected at this time.

Study shows value of quality-of-life cancer care
The study shows that palliative care should be a routine part of managing any serious illness rather than "what we do when there is nothing more that we can do," Drs. Amy Kelley and Diane Meier of Mount Sinai wrote in an editorial in the journal.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology and two cancer charities paid for the study. It did not look at the cost of palliative care, which is mostly doctor visits. However, research Morrison has published suggests it can save money by lowering emergency visits, unwanted hospital stays and futile treatments.

The trade deadline has been passed awhile a go. So no team will be helping themselves by adding personnel. Unless, you count adding Larry Johnson which could just as easily destroy your chances at making a run.
Maritiniman......you are clueless, the trade deadline has passed, teams dont "buy" players in the nfl like baseball, because the revenue sharing is excellent, every teams payroll is around the same. And the gianst are above .500, so you are wrong about that too.

Community Sanitation Overview:
According to Census 2010, the City of Hooper Bay has a population of 1,149. Since 1994, approximately 50 million dollars of federal and state funds have been invested in building Hooper Bay's water and wastewater system. The water treatment plant/washeteria building was completed in 2007, and a satellite utility building was completed in 2009. The community's clinic, clinic housing, school, Head Start building, and teacher housing were the first to be connected to the community's new water treatment/washeteria facility completed in 2007. Since then, above ground arctic pipe service lines have been built and about 30 households and most of the community's commercial establishments have been connected to piped water. About 150 more homes are scheduled to be hooked up to the piped system in 2014. At the time of this writing, residents living in 216 dwellings haul water from watering points for cooking, cleaning, and washing needs. Residents also self-haul their garbage and honeybuckets to a solid waste site and wastewater lagoon respectively. The new water treatment/washeteria facility also provides 18 washers, 12 dryers, 16 showers and two saunas that residents can use for a nominal charge. The watering point at the old town site is also connected to the new water treatment plant. The city is pursuing a solid waste management grant to build a new wastewater lagoon.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
On March 4, 2014, Hooper Bay's city council approved turning over the management and operation of the municipality's water and wastewater system to Sea Lion Energy Services (SLES). Then on March 20, 2014, SLES's board of directors, likewise, approved taking over the responsibilities of managing the utility starting on April 1, 2014. From April 28-May 1, 2014 Bethel RUBA staff visited SLES offices in Hooper Bay to assist their operations director and administrative supervisor in getting financial systems set up for compliance with RUBA indicators. This included drafting a realistic and balanced budget for the utility, separating washeteria and water treatment facilities into their own QuickBooks classes so each will be treated as an enterprise, and then projecting annual income and expenses for each line item category. To assist with these tasks RUBA staff created a FY14 budget/monthly financial report spreadsheet for the utility, then worked with SLES staff to ensure classes and categories in the utility's QuickBooks file were nearly identical to those of the spreadsheet which will make it easy to update and cross-check both each month. Bethel staff also drafted an organization chart for the new water utility and gave it to the operations director along with an IRS form 8821 for SLES's chairman to sign. Having form 8821 on file with the IRS will allow RUBA staff to check the utility's compliance with federal tax filing and reporting requirements. The administrative supervisor was also provided a RUBA compliance guide.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
Bethel staff will continue to work with SLES in an effort to get the new utility compliant with all RUBA essential and sustainable indicators as soon as possible.
Essential Indicators:
24 of 27
Sustainable Indicators:
15 of 26
Total Score:
39 of 53
Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.

A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
SLES's FY14 (calendar year) budget was adopted by resolution on July 25, 2013 is on file at the Bethel regional office. SLES has submitted minutes for its board meetings held on April 2, June 25, 2014. The April 2 minutes mention April and May 2014 monthly financial statements for the utility being reviewed. The April and May monthly financial report indicates that the utility is receiving sufficient to cover operating expenses. A July 2, 2014 report from Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) indicated that SLES is current on its electric accounts. The City of Hooper Bay will be assigning eighty percent (about $119,000) of its Community Revenue Sharing payment to SLES to cover fuel costs. However, during the winter of 2013/2014, CE2 Engineers, Inc. installed a heat recovery system to Hooper Bay's Alaska Village Electric Cooperative power plant. The heat recovery system is now supplying waste heat from the power plant to the water treatment building and is already providing a significant reduction (40-55 gallons per day) to the water treatment plant's consumption of heating fuel. Page fifteen of Hooper Bay's Water and Sewer System Business Plan Update states that 'the total amount that should be set aside annually for major equipment Repair and Replacement (R and R) is $43,733'. A $2,500 line item R and R expense was included for the water treatment plant in the SLES FY14 budget. RUBA indicators require that manager's reports (in this case from SLES's operations director ) be given verbally or as written reports at city council meetings. Manager reports explain the utility's financial report and point out any utility problems or trends that need addressed. Manager's reports meeting RUBA standards were found in the April meeting minutes.

The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.

A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
SLES is currently drafting a collections policy which is schedule for review by its governing board in July or August. SLES charges a flat rate of $85 monthly to residential customers on the piped water and wastewater system. SLES uses QuickBooks Accountant 2012 for its financial accounting, tracking wages, and payroll taxes. Water and wastewater billings are sent out on the first day of each month. A June 27, 2014 accounts receivable aging report was provided this quarter. The report shows significant 30 and 60 day past due balances for residential and commercial customers. A copy of SLES's QuickBooks file sent to the Bethel regional office on June 27, 2014 could not be opened. Therefore, it could not be determined if the utility has an accounts payable system in place showing all vendors that money is owed to and when balances are due. The city's QuickBooks' chart of accounts was set up by RUBA and SLES staff on April 29, 2014 and is nearly identical with regards to it classes and categories as the utility's monthly financial report. SLES provided bank statements and accompanying reconciliation summaries for its checking account for April and May 2014.

However, on April 1, 2014 the City of Hooper Bay and Sea Lion Energy Services (SLES) entered into an Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in which SLES took over the management and operation of the city's water and wastewater facilities. The MOA is electronically filed at the Bethel regional office. Because a collections policy and personnel policy are not yet in place the third essential indicator of this section is marked "NO". SLES's operartions director has over 15 years of corporate accounting and managerial experience. The city has a Class 2 Water Distribution System and SLES's lead water treatment operator is certified to the level required to operate the plant. His Water Treatment 2 certificate expires on December 31, 2014 and his Water Distribution 2 certificate expires on December 31, 2016. However, according to a July 2, 2014 query of the Alaska Certified Water/Wastewater Operator Database, the SLES's assistant operator is not certified at any level. SLES has provided an organizational chart adopted by resolution on June 25, 2014 that reflects current personnel structure and is electronically filed in the Bethel regional office.

Gina's debut jewellery collection crystalized from a fascination with body modification practices and Live Art, culminating in the creation of jewellery from broken glass fragments. While technically wearable, her glass shard jewellery is not for the faint-hearted, so she sought to alchemise a luxurious collection in precious metal inspired by this conceptual work. She casts shards of glass directly into recycled Sterling Silver, highlighting the contrasts between delicacy and roughness inherent in the original broken panes. The fashion-forward collection is plated in either White Rhodium or Rose Gold. The stones are fair-trade Royal Kings Plain Sapphires®, a rare rich blue sapphire mined in the Australian state of New South Wales. The pavé-set stones follow the fault lines in the broken glass and are set in a stylized way which adds to the pieces' edgy yet sophisticated allure. All of the box chains are 9ct White Gold. Each piece is handmade in Gina's workshop in Hatton Garden, London.
Garnering much press since it's launch, this exquisite ring was designed so that the two cast glass shards fit In-Between two fingers. The ring shank/band is 'invisible' from the top of the hand. It is unique and a definite eye catcher! Be the envy of all your friends.

Publisher's Description
Black/white relations in the culture at large and in the church in particular continue to be a stain on America's respectable reputation. The church has clearly failed and must seek to function by God's kingdom perspective. In this legacy message, Tony Evans seeks to promote a biblical understanding of the kingdom foundation of oneness by detailing why we don't have it, what we need to do to get it, and what it will look like when we live it.
Fully encompassing areas of unity, history, culture, the church and social justice, Evans looks to the scriptures for the balance between righteousness and justice that is crucial for applying in this generation and in training the next. A full section on black church history provides a background and understanding that has often been neglected. Recalling experiences in his own evangelical journey, Evans shares kingdom minded approaches for biblical justice and social restoration. To better glorify God and help heal the persistent racial divide, all church members would do well to read and learn from Oneness Embraced.

Emanuele Pensavalle, Program Manager, Thales Alenia Space, told Wired: "As the concept of exploration has now evolved, we are now working on this totally autonomous vehicle."Robots are mostly used in space to assist the scientific research, but this one will be able to build a lunar station or help the astronauts to do that. This model will help us finalise the prototypes, which we think we will be able to complete by the end of this year. "We will then test the functionality of the system, and after this, the robot will be ready to be launched on human exploration missions, starting with the moon, but use on Mars will also be an option, as we are working on both scenarios."

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Washington Wizards pursue their stated goal of finishing ninth in the Eastern Conference, seeing Bradley Beal back on the court was a welcome sight.
Beal scores 24 as Wizards beat Raptors 109-92
Beal scored 24 points in his return from a five-game absence, leading the Wizards to a 109-92 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night.
Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and John Wall added 18 points and 10 assists for Washington. The Wizards, who came in having lost two in a row on the road, won their seventh straight at home and moved into a tie with Toronto for 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
"They kept leaving me open and my teammates just kept finding me," said Beal, who was out with a sprained ankle. "I was able to knock down some shots. I stayed confident, and the ball ended up in my hands a lot."
Beal shot 8 for 14 from the field, including a career-high-tying six 3-pointers — on nine attempts — in 30 minutes.
"We've seen it in his attitude," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "He's been working, and he wants to get back. That's a good sign when you've only got 10 games left. I've been in it long enough where I've seen guys say they don't want to get back in it."
The Wizards — 8½ games behind eighth-place Milwaukee with nine games remaining — are realistically out of the playoff picture, but trail Philadelphia by three games for ninth.
"We're playing for something that's bigger than just nine games left," Martell Webster said. " Fighting for that ninth spot because for us, that's fuel for next year."
Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Raptors, losers of six of their last seven. Demar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry added 15 apiece. Toronto leading scorer Rudy Gay scored 11 points — about seven below his average — while being limited to 26 minutes due to foul trouble.
"I thought we came out with a relaxed disposition and didn't come out ready to go. The guys didn't look like they were ready to move their feet defensively," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "We had some frustration fouls which kind of set the tone for the course of the game."
Toronto, which has lost six of seven, cut a 20-point third-quarter deficit to six twice in the fourth quarter before Washington pulled away.
The Wizards shot 48.2 percent from the field (41 of 85) to 39.5 percent for Toronto (32 of 81).

Indiana Jones Has a Son!Wednesday, February 21st, 2007
Transfomers star Shia LaBeouf is set to star as Indiana Jones' adult son in the upcoming sequel. I'm not kidding! Read on:
With the long-in-development Indiana Jones IV finally set to go before cameras this year for a May 22, 2008 release, an interesting — and, to some fans, troubling — new rumor has surfaced online. The sequel will reportedly provide the aging globe-trotting archaeologist (played by Harrison Ford) with an adult son!
Claiming to have heard the rumor from "pretty reliable places," Ain't It Cool News says that "Shia La Beouf will play the son of Indiana Jones." LatinoReview.com also heard the Shia/Indy IV rumor; in fact, they claim La Beouf almost revealed as much during a recent trip to New York City.
La Beouf, 20, will next be seen in the thriller Disturbia and in the big-screen version of Transformers, exec produced by Indy IV director Steven Spielberg.
IGN checked with a key Indy IV source who would not comment on the casting rumor, or even confirm or deny whether or not Indiana Jones has a son in the film.

Scarlett Johansson is going under the knife. And it ain't plastic surgery.
The Hollywood vixen has come aboard to play the big screen's original scream queen, Janet Leigh, in Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, a tale chronicling the late director's efforts to make a modest horror movie that is now regarded as one of the greatest works in the Alfred Hitchcock canon.
MORE: Scarlett Johansson: Fashion Will Help Obama Get Reelected
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Johansson will reenact the classic shower scene in which Leigh's character, a secretary who goes to the Bates motel after embezzling money, is mercilessly murdered by Anthony Perkins' disturbed motel owner-manager, Norman Bates.
After realizing what Hitchcock was up to when Psycho shocked audiences upon its release in 1960, Leigh, who died in 2004, famously swore off taking showers because of the scene's chilling impact—movie violence unheard-of in those days.
Anthony Hopkins is attached to play the legendary filmmaker, while Helen Mirren has signed on to essay the role of his wife, Alma Reville.
The plot mostly centers around the relationship between the two as Hitchcock sets about making a film no studio wanted to touch given its subject—you know, the one about the serial killer who stalks his prey in the rural area where he lives, had a domineering mother and dressed in women's clothes.
MORE: Is Scarlett Johansson playing Princess Diana?
Scarlett's role is smaller, but on the plus side her fans can console themselves with the thought of seeing plenty of the buxom blond thesp in the buff—for Tinseltown lore has it the shower scene took seven days to film.
(As Hitch used to say, blondes make the best victims.)
If all goes according to plan, the Fox Searchlight project, being helmed by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil), will roll cameras later this year.
