Limited-time feature
33 year old woman | League City, TX, USA | Seeking men 27-37 within 50 miles
Not looking for a fairy tale; hoping for something real.
I'm looking for a guy who isn't a douche bag. A guy who can appreciate all that I have to offer and will reciprocate my compassionate nature. My heart is big and completely genuine, but it is reserved for someone worthy. Still searching.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Dancing, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Middle of the Road
Local hot spots? I live in the 'burbs, so we don't really have "hot spots!" But I enjoy sipping on a skinny margarita at a Mexican restaurant and dancing anywhere that plays good music! Favorite travel destinations so far: Argentina, Costa Rica.
Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
I love music! Not cliche carbon-copied music, but GOOD music. Some of my favorite bands: Muse, Radiohead, Incubus,and Jack Johnson. However, I can totally jam some hardcore gangsta rap or the latest hip hop song! TV shows: The Office, Modern Family.
I enjoy hanging out with the fam and friends, working out, running, reading, watching movies, dining out, seeing live music, dancing. I'm pretty much up for anything if I'm with fun people!
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling from The Office. Totally hilarious! I want to be her best friend! And I just re-read The Great Gatsby. I had forgotten how dark and depressing it is! I'd prefer a happy ending. :)

I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Wilkins Solutions (Las Vegas, NV) in June 2013.
Interview was over the internet and finally phone. You need to pass a qualifying test online before the phone interview. There is a calculation and quote section that needs to be completed. The company is very nice. All the way through everyone that I spoke with was very helpful. It is a good company.

Almost everybody's on 2.4 GHz, and the bands overlap with each other as well as with your microwave oven. If you can run your Wifi on 5 GHz, and don't have distance problems, it's really what you want.
Unfortunately, while my Linksys WiFi router can use both frequencies, it can only use one at a time, and I've got a few 2.4GHz-only devices in the house, so I'm stuck with 2.4. Occasionally it gets tempting to switch it to 5 GHz and drag out its dumber predecessor to run 2.4 on. (I bought the newer one because I needed 802.11n to compete with all my neighbors' 802.11n drowning out my wimpy 802.11g system. I was also surprised to find that it didn't support IPv6 sigh.)
Sorry - anybody who works for Rachel from Cardholder Services or Fake Microsoft Technical Support or Fake IRS is a scammer, and knows that their job is to rip people off. Thieves don't rate the "just doing their crappy job" excuse, unlike the people who call up trying to sell me legitimate services when they know (or should know) that I'm on the Do Not Call List so I'm not interested.
Look, it's one thing for spammers to call up and waste my time. But more than half of them these days call up and don't ever play a message or put their agent on the phone so I can waste their time. I don't know if they're just badly understaffed (at least they could play a recording), or their equipment is broken, or their call center is checking my number against the Do Not Call List after I answer instead of before (presumably because of how they charge each other for various services.) And lately I've been getting people with bad VOIP systems calling up and playing crackly versions of the "Rachel from Cardholder Services" tape - at least they could use a higher bit rate.
I work from home most days, and my wife usually get up a couple hours after I do, so I answer the phone on first ring to avoid having it wake her up if I let the answering machine get it. Real calls at that time are usually the pharmacy's robot saying there's something ready, or the gas company robot saying they're still going to be digging up the street; other calls are usually spam robots.
I've had some interesting conversations with them, when they called my cellphone instead of my home phone. One of them was telling me how stupid Americans are, we only speak one language while he speaks lots (I asked him in French, German, and Spanish if he spoke any of those languages, but he was on a rant.) Eventually he decided to just start insulting me, thinking that telling me I was a "black n-----" would be a useful insult. Since I was in the lobby at work, I didn't go into a long rant about how racist that was and how he probably didn't get along with the various colors of people in his country, but hung up on him. The other guy was mainly bragging about how I'd never be able to trace his call, and he was using Magic Jack for VOIP, and how he could break into my mobile phone (which he demonstrated to me by calling with his caller-ID set to my number), and was at least more amusing to talk to, for a shameless thief.
My mom was amused by those scammers. She's used Macintoshes for nearly 30 years, and her Mac is only on the internet when she tells the modem to dial up her ISP. (Her vision's not good enough to use the web, and modem's plenty for email, much to the frustration of my siblings who don't like using sub-broadband speeds when visiting her.) So the "Your Windows machine is sending out viruses!" got a very quick hang up.
I've kept some of them on line for over an hour, when I've had time; eventually the caller's boss came on and yelled at me for wasting his employee's time. Other times I've told them I didn't have time for their lying bullshit right now, and got aggressively cursed at.
Apparently there was a period of a couple of weeks when I could have gotten the upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, but the carrier didn't actually push it, just made it available if you noticed and asked it to download, and soon after that, when Google Play came out, my Locked-To-Android-Market phone could no longer do any updates. I couldn't find a smartphone that small to replace it (sorry, but smallness is a feature for something you carry in your pocket), and eventually replaced the phone when apps I wanted were only running on 4.x anyway. I suppose I should go back and Cyanogenize it.
If you love America so much, buy goods made there instead of China. Oh, wait, you're not doing that? Pretty lame for a jingo troll!
If the Commies (more likely Russians than Chinese, for economic reasons) had cracked Snowden's document cache, they'd be able to throw lots of people at reading them all quickly and correlating them, and they'd need a month or so to recall any spies that were outed, or give them good false information to spread, and bust any US and other countries' spies they can (or give them even more disinformation.) But after that, they'd be free to start releasing documents embarrassing to the Obama and Bush Administrations and the permanent NSA/CIA/DIA/FBI/DEA/TLA/etc. agencies, totally tanking most of their composition here and throwing the US into chaos, along with GCHQ, UK Parliament, and probably some Canadians or the Deutsche Bundesfoo..
They haven't. This either means they haven't cracked the document cache, or that they're a really devious conspiracy, blackmailing US/UK politicians or waiting until after the election or something. (Maybe they want the Tories to trash the UK, for instance.)
iPhone 5S - Does it have the resources to upgrade to IOS9? Will it run faster or slower? Will the batteries last longer for somebody who mainly does phone calls and texts?
I'm in a 32-unit condo. Yes, we've got an HOA, but it's just us. We've occasionally hired management companies to do stuff for us, but only when it made sense. And yeah, we've occasionally gotten into arguments, like the current one about what trees need to be cut down (the cheapskate builder who built the place in the 70s did things like planting redwoods and some fast-growing trees right next to the building, so we're having problems with roots and roofs that stay wet all the time, but they are nice for shade. And we do occasionally have people who get grumpy about the monthly fees, but the accountant is one of the residents, you can see all the numbers, and possibly we need to be putting even more into some of the maintenance funds than we do.
I live in a condo. It was built in the 1970s, with the kind of high quality building where right angles weren't really a requirement, just kind of a suggestion, cement subfloor needed to be smooth enough to cover with carpet, not actually good enough to replace with wood later, redwoods and other trees were planted too near the buildings so we're having root problems, etc. Even though some of the folks have been here since the beginning (and it's only a 32-unit complex), nobody's got a bloody clue where lots of the wiring and plumbing is. We know where a few parts of it are, but how the plumbing or electricity gets between the upstairs and downstairs units is mostly a mystery, and when the cable company wanted to replace the old analog system with digital, they just ran new cables on the outside of the building and made holes because they couldn't figure out what was going on inside (so I've got some really convenient cable jacks that aren't on the new system.)
But yeah, conduit is the way to future-proof any communication technology that does need wires. Also, heating/cooling ducts can be really useful (both for themselves, and for adding in wire later if you didn't have conduit.) I currently live in a part of California that has lots of buildings with electric heat (lowest upfront cost to the builder, and my annual heat costs are higher than when I lived somewhere with actual winter), and we don't really know how the 220V line gets from the thermostat to the heater, and don't want to rip out the ceiling and walls to trace it. (Before that I lived in a house with steam radiators, which I liked, but there wasn't a way to put in central A/C.)
Putting in more sockets along the walls than your current electrical code calls for is usually a win, as is home-running them all to the electrical box if you can. I needed more power upstairs, and we had to rip out a bunch of bathroom wall and ceiling to run the cables from the circuit breaker box. Also, you should put in a circuit breaker box that's big enough to add a bunch of random things later, instead of one that just barely has room for the initial wiring.
Some applications care about having nearly 1.5 volts, and this device will make a disposable battery last a lot longer for them; I've had a few electronic or electro-mechanical devices that got grumpy about only getting 1.2 volts from NiMH, so I asked these guys about it.
Their response was that it'll boost the voltage just fine, but may be bad for the battery's life, because they really don't like being drained too low, and the Batteriser is designed to suck every bit of power it can out of a disposable battery, not to treat a rechargeable battery nicely.
Lithium-Ion batteries are even more picky, and need special control circuitry that'll cut off the power if the battery's voltage gets too low (and also cut off charging if it gets too high.) NiMH aren't as picky about it, but you can still shorten their useful life a lot if you mistreat them; back when I was using a lot of them, I'd typically only get 5-10 full charge/discharge cycles from one if I wasn't careful. They could make a model that worked with NiMH if they wanted too, but it'd probably cost them a few cents more in circuitry, and they're trying to make a low-cost retail device.
The best solution I found to that problem was Nickel-Zinc rechargeable batteries, which have a chemistry that puts out 1.6 volts, so almost all of the devices that are picky about voltage are really happy with them, and capacity was similar to NiMH. Unfortunately, they seem to have disappeared from the market a bit after I bought the first batch of them, or at least Fry's stopped carrying them.
Somebody else mentioned Bluetooth, and yeah, I do want that, because my car radio now supports it, so it lets me have a decent speakerphone in the car instead of having a wired headset, and that probably adds $5 to the cost of the phone.
It's apparently more complicated than that. AT&T and Verizon have started offering it, on LTE phones, but it's rolling out slowly on a geography-by-geography basis, rather than being available everywhere at once.
* (Disclaimer: I work for AT&T, so I should probably know this stuff, but I do network security, not mobile phones.)

SURAH ASR INTRODUCTION • This surah is a Makki surah, made up of 3 aayaat. One of the shortest surahs', but contains many lessons. In surah al-Fatiha, Allah has taught us to seek the straight path, as-sirât al- mustaqîm, and in surah al-'Asr the essence of that straight path is revealed to mankind INTODUCTION • These seemingly simple lines of divine guidance tell us how to live our entire life. • Many books, with thousands of words, cannot say as much as is contained in these three short verses. • This surah shows us "the big picture", and undoubtedly anyone who truly understands and lives by these ideals will be on the straight path AYAH 1) wa-al 'Asr (I swear) By Time. • Asr - [linguistically] time that is running out • Allah also swears by other Times in the Qur'an; - wal fajri - I swear by the Dawn. - [Surah Fajr 89:1] ٰ َ ُّ َ - -والضحىwad-duha - By the Morning Sun. - [Surah Duha 93:1] But 'Asr is a time associated with Urgency. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TIME • IMAN SHAFEE has explained it rightly as: • the Struggle of the human being is like the one who is trying to sell ice. It is melting away and he needs to sell it quickly and make as much sales before the end of the day comes. Otherwise - all his valuables' and efforts will go to waste. Hadith • Prophet Mohammed, may Allah bless him and grant him peace said, "There are two blessings that most delude people, free time, and health." • Every moment, when it has passed, becomes past, and every moment of the future, when it is passing, becomes present, and when it has passed, becomes past. Here, since the oath has been sworn by time absolute ANALOGY • It would be just like calling attention of the candidate, who was expending the time allotted for solving the question paper in some other pursuit, to the wall clock in the examination hall, to tell him that the passing time bore witness that he was causing loss to himself; the candidate benefiting by the Time was he who was using every moment of the allotted time in solving the paper. Time is a witness to the tragedy of the human being • People throughout history have chased after wealth, beautiful things, power etc. • People chased after all these things, thinking they will achieve success, and while they were in that state - they died. • This same process has been repeating generation after generation, for thousands of years, and there is one creation of Allah which has continuously been witnessing all this. It is al 'Asr - the Time. TIME AS TRUST • given to mankind by Allah, and the most precious capital of an individual. This time reduces with every passing second, and every moment that passes by is an opportunity gone, used, or abused, never to return. • Soon the allotted time will be up and the angel of death will take the soul away from this world. TIME AS TRUST • The reckoning on the Day of Judgment will be based upon how we spend our time in this world. • On this day the feet of the son of Adam (man) will not move till he is questioned about four matters: • how he spent his lifetime, • how he spent his youth; • from where he acquired his wealth and how he spent it, • and what he did with his knowledge" [Hadeeth in Sunan at-Tirmidhi, no. Wa-al 'Asr - We will remember the special Days of Allah • The Days when; Allah created the human being (Adam), the Day He revealed the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammad, the Day Allah drowned the disbelievers of Prophet Nuh, the Day Allah destroyed Pharoah and saved Moses, the Day of Badr, the Day when Allah spoke to Musa/Moses. The Day of Judgment, the Day the believers will see Allah. • By saying al 'Asr - we will remember these Days so we will not want to be in loss Ayah 2) Inna al Insaan La Fee Khusrin • Inna - no doubt (it talks to people who might be doubtful - it removes doubt). Insaan - Nisyaan - forgetfulness. The human might be reminded he's in trouble - but soon he forgets. • an-Naas: all mankind Insaan: Each and every individual forgetful human being - you are in loss [in potential trouble]... Why Insaan and Not An Nas • Diffusion of Responsibility: If you talk generally to people - they assume someone else is to blame. If you talk specifically you start thinking. • . Innal insaana la fee khusr.. - no doubt, the forgetful human is in loss • What is Khusr • Khusr (loss) also is not merely synonymous with worldly failure or distress but comprehends man's real failure and disappointment from the world till the Hereafter • When the Qur'an states conclusively and absolutely that Man is certainly in loss, it implies loss both in this world and in the Hereafter Illa alladheena amanoo wa AAamiloo assaalihaati watawaassaw bi-alhaqqi watawaassaw bi-as-sabr • Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience • • Four conditions must be met: • 1) Faith • 2) Good deeds • 3) Encourage others towards truth • 4) Encourage other to be patient FAITH • The foundation to utilize time properly lies in having faith and conviction in the heart - • The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace said, "Faith and Good Deeds are partners and the one is incomplete without • The fruit of Emaan = Tranquility TRANQUILITY • You are at Peace with your life and with Allah because you know that everything belongs to Him, so whatever you gain or lose - you are thankful, not worrying that it is yours to lose. Rather, Allah loves you and He is deciding what is better for you THIS WHY WE SAY • "Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return." [Innaa lillahi wa inna alayhi Raji'oon] (al Baqarah 2:156) Amalus Salehat Correct and good actions So Allah is implying; if you want to be a better person - do good actions and you will be a good person • Salihat comprehends all kinds of virtuous and good deeds. However, according to the Qur'an, no act can be a good act unless it is based on Faith and it is performed in obedience to the guidance given by Allah and His Messanger Relationship between Faith and Good Deeds • Unless the seed is sown in the soil no tree can grow out of it. But if the seed is in the soil and no tree is growing out of it, it would mean that the seed is lost in the soil • What man requires to do after the Faith in order to remain secure from loss is to perform righteous deeds. • In other words, mere Faith without righteous deeds cannot save man from loss What Good Deeds? • Deeds stipulated in the Quran and sunnah, like Prayers, Fasting, Zakat, Hajj, Charity, kindness to orphans, taking care of parents and a host of other things. • Good deeds also refer to abstaining from the prohibited like dealing in interest, fornication, lying, backbiting, eating impure food and others. Tawwasu Bil Haq • Tawwaassi -- to charge someone, command them, encourage them (i.e. emotional encouragement - heart to heart.) i.e. "I'm telling you, make salaah, it's good for you in this life and the next." This is tawwaassu - from Wassiya - to leave a will - for a loved one. • In a Wassiyya - You are leaving these important words because you are about to die, so you don't have alot of time left, so people need to hear your last words. This word signifies; sincere loving advice, Urgency, telling the truth. • Wassiyya also implies - when you die, you pass on alot of your valuable wealth and property to someone else. • So Allah is using this word to imply that we give sincere, loving, and valuable advice • You are handing them a treasure of advice which will really be of benefit to them, just like wealth and property is benficial to the inheritor. Tawwaasaw • The second implication of Tawwaassaw is; things that are done mutually (ishtiraaq) - when you give someone good advice, they might advise you back. They might even reply to you back in a loud voice i.e. "Well you don't do that other good!" • So you would humble yourself and say; "Yes, i should be doing that aswell". I.e. It is a two way sharing of advice, which - if you give, you should be waiting to recieve back aswell. • Because even if there is a truth in it - you accept it. This shows sincerety in following the truth. This is part of the Tawwaasiy. • tawaassaw bil haqq - includes tawheed, obedience to Allah and His Messenger • bil haqq (with truth) refers to advising each other with the Qur'an. Reminding each other through the Qur'an • • Tawaassaw bis Sabr:The significance of patience in the Islamic Way of Life can be gauged from the fact that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace considered it as half of Faith and as the key to Paradise. How are they interrelated • This is because the invitation to truth is usually not welcomed and it has often to face resistance. It is necessary for those who are dedicated to truth to put up with oppression and persecution. • Perhaps all of us have experienced that even a little piece of moral advice can be disliked by people. • For example, if a person owes five dollars to some one, and is putting off its payment and you ask him to pay that amount to his creditor, he will frown at you. If he is in an angry mood, he may warn you not to interfere in his affairs. Now you can well imagine how much resistance would be offered and to what extent people will oppose the preaching which demands from them the fulfilling of their major obligations and religious duties • In Quranic terminology, this is called 'istiqamat' i.e., steadfastness. This is the acid test which proves to what extent a person is committed to his objectives • Humanity is kept from accepting the truth of Islam by 2 obstacles; 1 - Shubuhaat (Doubts) 2 - Shahawaat (Temptations) Either one of these lead people astray. • It is an intellectual problem (people feel answers by callers to Islam are not satisfactory). • It is a psychological problem (people want to follow forbidden desires). • ta waassaww bil Haqq - and they enjoin upon each other the truth. (This get's rid of the intellectual problem.) Wa ta waassaww bil Sabr - and they enjoin upon each other patience. (This encourages people to remain upon the truth even through tempting times Summary • The most important truth flowing forth from this sura is that time is much more than money. Time is in fact life • This sura then reveals the real criterion of man's success and failure. • Any one who has all these four prerequisites is successful and triumphant in the hereafter, even if he has no wealth, friends or recognition in this world

How much rent is reasonable
Chris Farrell
Apr 18, 2012 I just landed a job in Los Angeles and will be looking to rent starting in July. How much of my income is wise to spend on rent? Am I allowed to increase that number for a place like L.A., where rent is so expensive? Also, I only plan to be there for a year or so, so is it unreasonable for me to spend an extra couple hundred a month to live on the beach and take advantage of being single with my first job out of college?

Experiment before picking up stakes
Chris Farrell
Apr 17, 2012 I'll be retiring in a few months and my husband is already retired. We are thinking of selling our home in Florida and moving to California to be closer to our children and grandchildren, who live in Los Angeles. Another option might be to keep the house in Florida, buy an RV and camp out in an RV park in California until we wear out our welcome. What are some of the pitfalls that we should try to avoid?

Relationship between team of experts and the State under review should be characterized by openness at all stages of the process (Norway) 17 17 Suggested terms of reference Review process to be carried out by experts only. They should analyse all information provided and may also take into account open-source information, e.g. from intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. State under review and experts should identify issues to be discussed during the visit, decide whom to meet (Austria) Site visit should include experts designated by two States, one similar to that under review and the other different (in line with the peer review concept), plus one representative of civil society (Chile) States parties are the only sources of information. Use of any other source of information should be subject to prior approval of the Conference (Algeria) Review mechanism to allow for greater variety of information to be gathered, including information other than the responses to the self-assessment checklist, such as data gathered in the course of site visits (France) 18 18 Suggested terms of reference Information is to be provided primarily by the State party under review and be supplemented by credible information from other sources. Information provided by other sources, e.g. academic research, should also be used in self- assessment and as a basis for the dialogue among experts. The State under review would, of course, have the right to comment on information obtained from other sources (Finland) Experts should have access to a variety of sources of information, including: non-governmental organizations, civil society, labour organizations, businesses, media (Norway) Mechanism should provide representatives of civil society and private sector with formal channels for making written and oral contributions to the review process (Germany) Reviewers to have access to wide range of information, including information from regional reviews, other convention reviews or civil society. State under review would of course need to be informed of the sources being relied upon and have an opportunity to comment on them (UK) 19 19 Suggested terms of reference Experts may include recommendations in the final report. The final report, or at least a summary of it its recommendations, is to be made public (Norway) General public should be provided with information regarding implementation of the Convention (South Africa) The report to include the following: (a)objective assessment of State's compliance with Convention (b)areas for priority attention (c)concrete suggestions for improvement, including recommendations. Technical conclusions set out in the reports could be published, subject to the agreement of the State party concerned (Switzerland) Review should result in a report including observations, not pronouncements on what States must do to implement Convention, rather, constructive ideas for strengthening and prioritizing implementation. States are to periodically provide updates on issues raised in observations (US) It is up to the Conference to decide whether to implement any of the recommended measures (China) 20 20 Involvement of parliamentarians? where?
