Fellow Duders,
I moved countries last year from the US to the UK to study at a university in England, leaving behind my beloved gaming PC, selling my android tablet, and buying a MacBook Pro for school. In the past year I have come to miss gaming, and with the recent Vita price drop I am considering forking over my cash for a handheld. Killzone, Spelunky, Guacamelee, LittleBigPlanet, and Fez are all games I am really interested in that I can't play on my Mac, and it seems that Sony is pretty committed to supporting the Vita and promoting parity between the Vita and the PS3/PS4. I enjoyed handheld gaming a lot when I was younger, but was disappointed by the PSP, and lost interest in Nintendo games around the time the Gameboy SP came out. So now I am caught in the process of deciding how I want to scratch my gaming itch, and the Vita really speaks to me.
So, to those of you who support or criticize the Vita, I ask for your thoughts. Is the Vita an exciting platform right now? Are the games interesting and high quality? Would I be better off saving the cash in favor of a PC or home console somewhere down the line? And how does the Vita gaming experience compare with the iPhone? I currently have a Windows Phone, which I like well enough but does not offer much in terms of mobile gaming, which I hear is better on iOS. Hit me with your best thoughts!
And thanks in advance.

9 To 5 The Musical At Mac-Haydn Theater
The fun of 9 To 5 is coming back to life on stage at the Mac-Haydn Theater, June 6-16, 2013.
The fun of 9 To 5 is coming back to life on stage at the Mac-Haydn Theater, June 6-16, 2013.
If you're looking to stack your iPod with some great music or looking to discover some of Country Music's lost treasures, check out my lists of Country Music's Greatest Hits and Hitmakers.
I recently had the honor of joining a distinguished panel of music nuts to agree on the 100 Best Country Love Songs.
We've found the perfect cure for those of you suffering from Cabin Fever! If you need to get out and have some fun, bring your friends to Proctors for Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
It's Christmas Eve and Santa has the sleigh being loaded and is getting ready to make the rounds around the world. I'm sure he's "carbing" up on plenty of Mrs. Claus' cakes and cookies so he has plenty of energy for the busy night ahead. I'm sure Santa has a great sound system on the sleigh too and listens to great country Christmas songs while he makes his rounds.
The familiar 'typewriter' rhythm of the hit song '9 to 5' kicked off a journey back to a corporate office in New York City in 1979, where a chauvinistic boss was about to be taught a lesson by three secretaries with big dreams and imaginations for a better workplace.
Dolly Parton's '9 to 5: The Musical' was one of the best shows I've ever seen on Broadway. If you're looking for a fun, inspirational story with music that will make you smile and sing along, this is it!
If you've ever walked the casino floors at Turning Stone, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods, or Saratoga Casino and Raceway, you may have noticed how creative 'slot' machines have become. Gone are the days of 3 clunky reels spinning fruit shapes around and spitting out quarters. Now, high tech gaming experiences make you feel like you're in an actual movie or concert.
Everyone had their own way of healing and patriotism in the wake of September 11, 2001. As host of GNA's evening request show during this time, I remember so many songs that everyone just needed to hear. This list of 15 songs were popular requests and dedications during that tough time in America. I hope you'll take a moment to reflect and remember as you listen to these compelling patriotic songs that helped so many people.
They might all sing with a country twang, but according to Rolling Stone (via The Boot), Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline all qualify for the Women Who Rock list. The countdown celebrates "50 of the fiercest albums that female rock & rollers have given the world," and it includes Lady Gaga, Carole King, Lucinda Williams and–of course–Aretha Franklin among others.
The Bee Gees were a major force in music starting in the 1960s and had a career that spanned into the 2000s. In a story from AP, one of the co-founders, Robin Gibb died on Sunday May 20 after a long battle cancer and and intestinal surgery.
Donna Summer is best known for her disco hits like 'Hot Stuff' 'Bad Girls' 'Last Dance' 'On The Radio' and many more. However, in 1980 her name was actually attached to a No. 1 Country Music single.

Say I have two different cpp files. Both declare classes with the same name, but perhaps a totally different structure (or perhaps the same structure, different implementation). The classes do not appear in the header files. (As an example, suppose they are Node classes for different list classes.)
I've seen these classes conflict. Is this expected by the standard? What solutions are there to this problem?

Nate Solder and Shane Vereen return to practice with Patriots
|08.24.11 at 2:27 pm ET
FOXBORO ' The Patriots just opened their Wednesday afternoon practice session under occasionally cloud skies on the fields behind Gillette Stadium. With Bill Belichick's pal Jon Bon Jovi in attendance, rookies Nate Solder, Shane Vereen and Lee Smith were all back on the field after time away from the practice field. (For Vereen, it was only his first practice since Aug. 3.) In addition, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was on the field as well.
The following players were not spotted at the start of practice: Stevan Ridley, Leigh Bodden, Kevin Faulk, Malcolm Williams, Jeff Tarpinian, Dane Fletcher, Brandon Spikes, Marcus Cannon, Ryan Wendell, Brandon Deaderick, Jermaine Cunningham, Ron Brace and Mike Wright. In addition, the new player that Nick Caserio hinted at earlier in the day during his press availability was on the field ' he was No. 66, and working out with the offensive linemen. We anticipate an announcement on his status later today.

Let's get a few things straight. Mr. elder uses the term separation wall which in Hebrew is actually separation barrier. The term separation wall or "wall" is the term used by our enemie. Secondly, he eeps referring to Yossi Beilin who is a political pariah in the Jewish democratic state of Israel. He formed the anti Israel Meretz party which is basically defunct and single handily drew up the anti Isrell Geneva Accords 7 years ago. That being said as long as there is no viable permanent peace treaty with the Palestinians then why not keep building like crazy until the palestinians cry uncle?
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.

You'll waste time pinpointing where communication went south.
Nigeria, once synonymous with corruption and waste, is now one of the most sought-after destinations for investors.
Others like Fay say that even funding needle-exchange programs is a waste of resources.
c.1200, "devastate, ravage, ruin," from Anglo-French and Old North French waster "to spoil, ruin" (Old French guaster), altered (by influence of Frankish *wostjan) from Latin vastare "lay waste," from vastus "empty, desolate, waste" (see vain).
The word also existed in Old English as westan. Meaning "to lose strength or health; pine; weaken" is attested from c.1300; the sense of "squander, spend or consume uselessly" is first recorded mid-14c.; meaning "to kill" is from 1964. Wasted "intoxicated" is slang from 1950s. The adjective is recorded from late 13c.
c.1200, "desolate regions," from Old French wast, from Latin vastum, neuter of vastus "waste" (see waste (v.)).
Replaced Old English westen, woesten "a desert, wilderness," from the Latin word. Meaning "useless expenditure" is recorded from c.1300; sense of "refuse matter" is attested from c.1400. Waste basket first recorded 1850. Waste-paper first recorded 1580s.
waste (wāst)
v. wast·ed, wast·ing, wastes
To gradually lose energy, strength, or bodily substance, as from disease. n.
The undigested residue of food eliminated from the body; excrement.
Noun An unusable or unwanted substance or material, such as a waste product. See also hazardous waste, landfill.
Verb To lose or cause to lose energy, strength, weight, or vigor, as by the progressive effects of a disease such as metastatic cancer.

With an expansive range of styles, features and capacities, Imation flash drives are trusted by users worldwide to transfer, share and store their critical documents, presentations, photos or music.
Customer Reviews of TDK 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive
VERY Slow Write Speeds8/7/2011
This is easily the slowest flash drive that I have ever used. Typical write speeds 3-4 MB/s--ridiculous. If you need to transfer large files, you would be well advised to spend a few dollars more and get one that had a more mainstream performance level.
Unreasonably Good2/9/2011
I loaded a bunch of stuff on this drive, put it in my pocket, forgot about it, put my pants in the washing machine with a full load, washed them, and while transfering the wash to the dryer, found the drive at the bottom of the washing machine. I hung it up to drain and dry, and not only did it still work, but all my data was still intact. I don't recommend washing this drive, and won't again, but boy am I way beyond satisfied.
Don't put too much weight in this2/5/2011
Technically, I've only had this drive for 3 days. However, my wife used it to send me stuff overseas. She packed the whole 30gb worth of stuff on it. I've had no problems transferring information, videos, music, etc. It's got the normal transfer rate of any of my other drives. For the price I got it, I'm definitely satisfied.
Get it now.1/18/2011
Plugged it in, worked right away. No problems at all. Super Fast. Exactly what I needed. I've tried other drives that we duds, or that corrupted my data, or that erroneously copied and recopied data. If you've found a good drive like this right off the bat, you've found a keeper.
Triples the storage of my ASUS eee 90010/23/2010
My Asus netbook has a partitioned drive; 4 Gb for programs; 16 Gb for storage. With this flash drive, I now have 48 Gb of reliable storage. The price was excellent for this size drive.
Great value10/20/2010
TDK 32gb flash drive was a great buy at only about $1.40 per gb ($44.95 ppd). Works right out of the pkg. Pre-installed security software would be good for some, I didn't need it and deleted it. Only downsides are (1) No LED to show activity, and (2) unattached removable cap is easy to lose. This tiny device lives in my pocket and holds EVERYthing.

Tony had a hard time in fear itself going to Paris and finding all these dead people caused by the "worthy" grey gargoyle in fact it put so much stress on him that after all these years of soberty, Tony grabbed back to the demon in a bottle his old enemy alcohol. What does this mean for Tony Stark will this be his big fallback into oblivion or will he be able to crawl back out of the infinite hole of alcholism before it is too late. What do you guys think.

Laker Pau Gasol #16 after scoring in the first half during game seven of a Western Conference semi-final playoff basketball game between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on Sunday May 17, 2009 in Los Angeles Photo via Newscom

The Lakers received a bit of good news Monday as Pau Gasol and Steve Nash participated in a light, noncontact practice. Gasol (knee tendinitis) isn't officially cleared to play Tuesday night when the Lakers host the Charlotte Bobcats, but he should be able to return from an eight-game absence if he suffers no ill effects from Monday's workout. Nash is shooting to play in the Lakers' Christmas Day game against the New York Knicks, which would mean another two games without the veteran point guard. The Lakers lost Nash when he suffered a broken bone in his left leg in the second game of the season against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has missed 23 games. "I'm feeling well. I'm happy with the practice that I did today and how I felt," Gasol said. "We don't want to make the decision quite yet today, so we'll see tomorrow in the morning how I feel and decide then." The Lakers went 3-5 without Gasol. With injuries to Steve Blake (abdominal surgery), Jordan Hill (back), Nash and Gaso...

Using a Cell-Based WLAN Infrastructure Design for Resource-Effective and Accurate Positioning
Date Added: Dec 2009
Format: PDF
A large scale WLAN infrastructure requires the placement of many thousands of Access Points (APs). The current approach is to deploy these in an empirical and ad-hoc manner. However, this deployment results in poor resource utilization and inaccurate positioning due to signal overlap and black spots. In this paper, the authors propose three structured approaches to WLAN infrastructure deployment that would allow better positioning accuracy and optimal coverage. These three approaches make use of triangular, square, and hexagonal configurations. Their results show that all three are more effective in both 2-D and 3-D space than any of the current ad-hoc or empirical approaches to AP deployment. Overall, the hexagonal approach is the most cost effective and accurate.

Limited-time feature
38 year old woman | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking men 36-45 within 50 miles
looking for love in the kitchen, in the world, and in life.
Greetings! I'm a joyful, fun-loving woman who is looking for a man to share my life moments with. I bring to the table intelligence, creativity, support, nurturance, great food and adventure (and I don't mean drama) and more. I love to walk, travel, eat, read, have long conversations, write and go to movies, museums , concerts etc. I'll try most things once. I love to learn about myself and the world. I am very open and spiritual though not terribly religious. I do believe in God. I am generous and love to give and receive surprises both big and small. I laugh easily and am a fan of corny jokes. I have a well used passport and am hoping for a partner to travel with. I eat mostly plants though I do enjoy meat (local, organic, free range, grass-fed as it applies)...with a big helping of GREENS! I love books and learning about new things especially when told to me with enthusiasm and passion. I'm looking for a man who is reliable, fun, curious, social, family oriented and who loves learning. I want a man who is romantic, kind and generous and, who is willing to put in work and get his hands dirty. I want a man who will call me on my sh*t with love and who expects the same of me. I want a man who will lead my household but in the words of my big fat greek wedding also know that his wife is the neck and the head and neck work together. As for my career, which also happens to be my Passion Work, I am a chef, plant-based culinary nutritionist and wellness educator. In other words I teach peo to cook and eat deliciously well for better health and I work with them to overcome life obstacles that get in their way of their intentin to show themselves some Nutritional Love. I've been doing this work for about ten years. Much of that time I focused on teenagers and families. Most recently, after the birth of my daughter, I focused my expertise on the unique nutritional and lifestyle needs of breastfeeders-to-be and new nursing moms. To help me reach more women and fulfill my desire to inspire, empower and nurture moms to step into what I see as our roll to change the face of the illness epidemic our children now face, I created the company Breastfeeding Chef. But THE most important thing I'm doing these days is raising my daughter, who I find is also raising me. Since i have a child (she is just under 2) I am looking for a man who wants children and who is interested in helping me create a nurturing and loving environment for my daughter. Though she doesn't need a father per se, she does need a positive consistent, male energy who will love her like his own. I'd love to have another child but this is not required. I am also happy to date a man who has a child from a previous relationship. If you like what you've read so far and are interested in learning more, I'd love to hear from you. If you want to create a relationship that is a true partnership based on respect, founded in love, dedicated to clear and honest communication, that allows both people to grow and that is full of fun and adventure then we may have a chance.
Cycling, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I don't have any pets but I wouldn't mind having a dog one day.
I'd love to be introduced to some hot spots! I recent;y moved back to DC so I'm still finding out where the hot spots are.
New York University, New York, NY
I love food, roller skating, going to the movies, walking, traveling, cooking, reading, long conversations, steaming cups of tea.
Truth be told I don't have a lot of free time these days, though Im willing to make time for the right person. When I want to unwind and relax I love movies, long walks (3 miles) cooking, eating, watching HGTV, reading a good book, snuggles
These days I'm busy writing my book so I've been reading about breastfeeding and food. When I want to unwind I read "trash" like janet evanovich. Don't tell anyone I also enjoy things like Tipping Point, 7 habits of Highly Effective People, novels.

Clay, Keokuk and Page counties are the first to have their 4-H history published on a new blog, Iowa 4-H History by County. Over the next two years, 4-H staff and volunteers will be reviewing additional county 4-H histories, with two to four being published on the blog each month, said Shelly Greving, marketing director for the Iowa 4-H Foundation. She hopes the blog will become a "living history" of 4-H.
"We hope 4-H members, alumni, volunteers, leaders and staff will add their comments and continue the history of 4-H, sharing the many facets of each county's 4-H program," Greving said.

Kayexalate Intake (in Sorbitol) and Jejunal Diverticulitis, a Causative Role or an Innocent Bystander?Pusztaszeri M.a · Christodoulou M.b · Proietti S.c · Seelentag W.a

Small intestine diverticulosis is a rare entity that is asymptomatic in the majority of cases. However, it may cause serious complications, such as infection, hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction and diverticulitis. Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) in sorbitol has been associated with colonic necrosis and less frequently with upper gastrointestinal injuries in a subset of uremic patients treated for hyperkalemia. We report a case of jejunal diverticulosis with mucosal injury and diverticulitis in a uremic patient treated with Kayexalate and discuss the potential role of Kayexalate in the pathogenesis of diverticulitis.

Who knew a massage could be so stressful?
A Groupon for a discounted rub-down may cause a spa in Hallandale, Fla. to shut down.
Modern Wellness Spa has accused the daily deals giant of withholding payment and then threatening to sue when the small business said it could no longer afford to honor discounts promoted through Groupon's site.
"We've serviced around 70 people free of charge," said Michael Roitman, a manager at the spa who set up the deal after he was approached by a Groupon sales representative two months ago.
Modern Wellness is just the latest small business to hop on the anti-Groupon bandwagon. The daily deals service is not only facing the ire of Main Street. It's also suffering from a crumbling stock price amid dismal earnings and reports that its earliest backers are dumping their shares.
Groupon works with merchants to sell discounted goods through its platform. The website collects the funds as the deals are sold, takes a cut of the sales -- typically half -- and disperses the rest to the vendor in three separate installments. But when those payments are slow to arrive, businesses suffer from the surge in customers without a corresponding boost in revenue.
"Groupon still hasn't paid us the $2,700 it owed us on August 9th. So we got fed up and told the rep we would not continue to honor the deal without payment," Roitman told HuffPost. "His reply was to threaten us with a lawsuit."
"We can't go on much longer servicing these customers," said Roitman, adding that the spa is seeing six to 10 Groupon-wielding customers walk through its doors each day. "But if we don't serve the customers who come in with Groupons, they'll go online to complain and we'll get bad reviews."
If that happens, it wouldn't be the first time a small business saw its online reputation suffer because of a daily deal. An academic study conducted earlier this year found that, after offering a Groupon deal, businesses tend to see their Yelp rankings fall.
Nicholas Halliwell, a Groupon spokesman, denied that a company sales rep threatened Modern Wellness with a lawsuit. In an email to HuffPost, Halliwell said Groupon was withholding payment because too few vouchers had been redeemed by users and because a large number of users reported being unhappy with their experience and asked for refunds.
"It's absolutely in line with Groupon's policy to withhold payments due to high refund rates and low levels of customer satisfaction," Halliwell said. "If a customer has a bad experience and seeks a refund, then that directly affects a merchant's payment." He added that Groupon has already paid the spa more than the value of the massage vouchers redeemed thus far (a claim that the spa disputed).
Listen to Nate Hindman discuss the Groupon fiasco on The Wall Street Journal's "Daily Wrap":
Other vendors have complained that Groupon is slow to pay. A Washington, D.C. waffle house recently said that Groupon didn't pay what was owed right away, causing the business to collapse.
Rocky Agrawal, a stock analyst who has placed bets on Groupon's demise and regularly publishes blogs that poke holes in the business model, said he reached a former Groupon sales rep about the late payment reports.
"Dealing with the finance department was a huge pain in the ass, they mailed the checks so damn slow, it was terrible," the anonymous sales rep told Agrawal. "It was just a constant fight (it seemed) for a vendor to get a check on time."
To date, Groupon has paid $3,750.96 to Modern Wellness Spa, both companies confirmed. But the $2,700 scheduled to hit the spa's bank account earlier this month never came, despite several emails from Groupon staff reviewed by HuffPost that claimed the payment had been released and was on its way.
It was not until Monday, after a VentureBeat story publicized the dispute, that Groupon staff told Roitman the company was holding the payment because of the refunds.
"The big picture here is we didn't know what we were getting into when this deal was put together," said Roitman. "Groupon is just not transparent."
This article has been updated to include additional comments from Groupon.
Illustrator Steve Gadlin really wants to draw a cat for you. His Groupon deal, which has since expired, offered drawings of cats doing whatever you want for $3. That included everything from cats meowing to nerdy cats riding pirate ships. Gadlin has drawn over 6,700 cats -- and counting -- for his customers. You can still buy cat drawings from Gadlin on his I Want To Draw A Cat For You website for $9.95 Gadlin was featured on season 3 of ABC's "Shark Tank", where he released the song "I Want To Draw A Cat For You." This past May, Castlespring Enterprises -- product manufacturer for Disney, Hasbro and Toys R Us -- announced it would make a line of products based on Gadlin's brand.
A 13-day ocean voyage with a tour of the Titanic wreckage by Deep Ocean Expeditions sounds like a truly unique and enthralling experience. But throw in a copy of "Titanic" on DVD signed by Leonardo DiCaprio impersonator Frank Lloyd Roberts and you've got quite the deal sweetener. The $59,680 value is still available for $12,500, fake DiCaprio turning into Jack Dawson and taking you to the lower decks of the Titanic for drunken dancing not included.
Ever wanted to be tucked into bed by a stranger? Probably not, but if you did, there's a Groupon for you. The Chicago-based offer describes, in detail, how Groupon employee Ben Kobold will tuck you in. "Ben's sinewy, well-groomed fingers delicately raise each sheet and blanket over your body until you're comfortably bundled," the offer reads. "Careful not to disturb any children who may be in the adjacent room, Ben leans in and uses his summer-breeze-like voice to gently sing you one of the five lullabies he has authored." Four people bought the actually serious deal, which is no longer available.
If there's anything you wouldn't want to have done on the cheap, it might be plastic surgery. But last July, a Paris Groupon offered breast implants for 54 percent off. "New! Finally treat yourself to the chest of your dreams for 2,499 euros instead of 5,430 in a private plastic surgery clinic; pay in two installments," the offer read. At least three people bought the deal. A similar deal was offered in the U.K.
Much like breast augmentation, circumcision is another procedure for which you probably shouldn't be bargain hunting. But Groupon in the Philippines is offering just that, with 76 percent off on a circumcision procedure. The only thing creepier than paying a steep discount on your child's circumcision is the playfulness of the deal's description: "Just like a triple backflip, performing a circumcision on oneself requires a lot of mental preparation, is very risky, and cannot easily be repeated. Have a trained professional snip the tip with today's Groupon."
Having trouble thinking of a baby name but have $1,000 to spare? Groupon thinks they have you covered: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but a baby that isn't named by Groupon smells like missed opportunity." For that $1,000, the site will name your baby "Clembough." Half-publicity gimmick, half serious deal, a Groupon representative insists in the deal's Q&A that "this is the most serious deal that Groupon has ever seriously run in its serious history." The deal is still available.
Jeffery Dahmer's crimes -- murder, cannibalism and necrophilia of 17 young men between 1988 and 1991 -- are the kind of horror reserved for serial killer infamy. For anyone curious to see the streets and watering holes of Milwaukee where Dahmer stalked and picked up his victims, Groupon offered a $25 tour for two. However, after families of Dahmer's victims called the deal insensitive, the deal was shut down, after 15 purchases.
Sometimes a deal on Groupon is too good to be true, as was the case for Southern Californian residents who bought round-trip "Luxury" tickets to Las Vegas. The deal was offered for $55, down from $149, and promised a "luxury bus" with free WiFi, premium movies, snacks and an unlimited drinks option. MSNBC reported that some luxury buses came up to five hours late, while some never came at all. A month later, Groupon severed ties with LUX over the fact that the company wasn't providing satisfactory service. Groupon canceled the deal and refunded the passengers' money.
Earlier this year, Groupon found itself in the crosshairs of an anti-pornography group's war on smut after offering a tour of Kink.com's headquarters in the historic San Francisco Armory Building. Kink is the world's largest producer of fetish pornography, producing films that frequently feature BDSM. The tour included a look at the building's historical features, as well as a look into Kink's film sets, prop rooms and production facilities. Some champion Kink as an advocate of alternative sexuality, while others see Kink as providing a degrading form of "torture porn." Groupon defended Kink and the deal, which is no longer available after selling over 1,000 coupons.

Shoes look awesome in the first pic. The colour is to die for, imo. On the second pic I'm still a bit bothered by the greyish undersole, I don't know I its possible to have it dyed or something. The upper part of the shoes is gorgeous.

Acupuncturist Registration
Anyone carrying out skin piercing (acupuncture, tattooing, ear piercing and electrolysis) must be registered with the council under the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982.
The aim of registering skin piercing activities is to protect members of the public from the transmission of blood borne viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and other infections. The council has approved byelaws that set out the standards for the hygienic operation of skin piercing premises. Persons carrying out skin piercing must comply with these byelaws.
View the regulations relating to skin piercing.
Registration consists of two elements: the person and the place where the skin piercing takes place. A separate fee is required for registration of the person and of the premises. This is a one-off payment as there is no annual renewal process.
A person registered to carry out acupuncture, tattooing, ear piercing or electrolysis must display at the premises a copy of any certificates issued by the council, and a copy of the byelaws.
To summarise the procedure for registration, upon receipt, applications will be forwarded for consultation to the Environmental Health Technician (EHT) covering the area, who will carry out an inspection. Following receipt of the EHT's approval to registration, the appropriate Certificate will be issued.
It takes approximately four weeks to process a skin piercing application, and tacit authorisation does not apply to these applications. This means you must wait until the application has been determined before any skin piercing activities can take place.
You can obtain an application form from licensing services or click on the links below to download forms.
Alternatively, you can make the application online by clicking on the link below:
Apply online for a skin piercing registration (for both personal and premises)
Cornwall Council has adopted skin piercing byelaws which regulate the provision of skin piercing activities.
Please view the current licensing fees and charges to find out how much you will need to pay
Redress for failed applications and licence holders
Please contact Licensing Services if you wish to discuss an application, decision or consent.
Consumer Complaints
Please contact Licensing Services if you wish to make a complaint about someone carrying out skin piercing activities. You should also contact us if you suspect someone is carrying out skin piercing without the appropriate registrations.

Again, this teacher of children doesn't let facts ruin a good story
To The Daily Sun,
Once again Ms. Rudman Chong decides to tell us all how all the ills in the world are "Bush's fault". Once again, this "teacher" of our children never lets facts get in the way of her opinion.
As to her inference that Vice President Cheney was a war profiteer, perhaps she doesn't remember, or never bothered to find out, that Mr. Cheney left his position in the private sector while earning millions of dollars a year, to accept the offer to run for vice president, a job that paid $174,500 annually. As most people know (but I'm not sure that Ms. Rudman Chong does), as vice president, Mr. Cheney's assets had to be put in a "blind trust" until he left office.
As is her usual practice, Ms. Rudman Chong ignored a few very important facts concerning the War in Iraq. For example, here is a four minute YouTube video link in which various Democrat leaders all speak of the need to disarm Saddam Hussein: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5p-qIq32m8. In addition to the Clintons, Sandy Berger, and various congressmen and senators all endorsing the actions that were taken, Ms. Rudman Chong also ignores the fact that the best information available at the time was presented to the Congress and also to the United Nations for their endorsement. Of course I'm sure Ms. Rudman Chong doesn't remember that CIA Director George Tenet, a Clinton appointee, told President Bush and his advisers that the issue of Hussein having weapons of mass destruction (WMD's) was a "slam dunk".
We recall that prior to initiating the war, it was reported in various news sources that there were a number of large trucks carrying unknown materials into Syria. The speculation was that Hussein could be removing the WMD's to a "safe house" across the border. In light of recent events in Syria, might that speculation have some substance?
I'm waiting for Ms. Rudman Chong's comments on the current administration's ongoing attempts to by-pass the Congress and ignore the rulings of the Supreme Court . . . the real threat to our democratic republic.
And yes, she teaches our children. Will someone please test the water at Plymouth State?

It's time to change who sits on Belknap Board of Commissioners
To The Daily Sun,
It was a pleasure to serve Alton and Gilmanton as a state representative for the past two years.
As a member of the Belknap County Delegation, it was amazing to see the current County Commissioners flout the law on many occasions and to fail to properly manage the county. It was this that prompted me to contest for the District 2 commissioner's seat for the towns of Barnstead, Gilmanton, Belmont and Tilton.
When one-tenth of the county budget is devoted to health care premiums, does it make sense for us not to put the contract out for competitive bidding? When commissioners admit that our population growth is stagnant, that our median age is increasing and that county income is down, does it make sense to propose a new jail at a cost of $40 million, and to hire 20 new correctional officers to staff it?
The existing jail does have issues, issues which were worsened by years of neglect. But there are proven ways for the county to meet its obligations at a cost about one-fourth of that which the commissioners have recommended.
In preparation for a new jail plan, a plan which will cost the county about $5 million a year each and every year, the requisite reports to the state attorney general about the condition of our jail were never submitted.
It is time to change who sits on the board of the Belknap Commission.
Please vote on Sept. 9.

Brian Gallagher will vote in best interests of San'ton & Tilton
To The Daily Sun,
I recommend, without reservation, that Sanbornton and Tilton citizens vote Brian Gallagher for state representative. I have known Brian since the 1980s, when our children became friends, and we later served together on Sanbornton Budget Committee. His work and community experiences more than qualify him as the state representative for Sanbornton and Tilton. His resume reads like a job description for state representative.
1. He is educated with a BA in political science, an MBA in management, and an AOS in accounting.
2. He is experienced with 12 years in the NH State Budget Office, eight years in New Hampshire Supreme Court Administrative Office, and six years as business administrator for several local school districts.
3. Involvement at Town level, in elected positions: he served on Town Budget Committee, Library Trustee, and Trustee of The Trust Funds. He currently represents Sanbornton on the Winnisquam Regional School District Budget Committee.
4. As a community volunteer he served as a soccer coach through the Sanbornton Rec Commission. He currently serves as an active volunteer in several positions at his church.
In these times when government officials tend to overspend budgets, choose which laws to enforce, overstep or bypass the Constitution and thereby threaten not only our form of government, but threaten our constitutional rights, we need to start the fix at the local level. We need Brian Gallagher to represent Sanbornton and Tilton in Concord. He will vote in the best interest of our towns. He has the experience and knowledge in state and municipal levels of governance, laws, budgets, and planning.
Vote Brian Gallagher for state representative on Sept. 9.

Having no plan is really the only plan at Obama's White House
To The Daily Sun,
The media is all abuzz regarding the statements made by Great Britain Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr. Cameron stood before his countrymen and stated, "We will use all our resources to root out Islamic extremists." He also indicated that military force may be used. He offered up a comprehensive plan to combat terrorism. His action was not only a proactive strategy, it was a definitive notification to the terror group ISIS that the UK stands ready, willing and able to take the initiative in confronting the growing threat to the civilized world.
The media was quick to point out that Mr. Obama has no strategy and doesn't know what to do. In the face of adversity and true to form, Mr. Obama blamed the Pentagon for not presenting him with a number of plans of action so as to pick the one that best fulfilled his political agenda. He has no foreign policy, only a deep desire to fundamentally change this nation. But into what?
To answer that question we must first examine his ideology and his motivation for his actions or lack thereof.
Obama's grade school records indicate that he was a practicing Muslim. This speaks volumes as to why his support lies with the Muslim's and his alienation of Israel and the Christian community.
Later on in college he was a devout believer in the teachings of Sol Alinsky (Rules for Radicals).
Obama's plan is brilliant and simplistic: Having no plan or strategy is the plan and the strategy. The White House has always preferred to be reactive as opposed to proactive. As always Obama waits to be informed by the media of a crisis before reacting.
Make no mistake, this country will be attacked by ISIS, and when that day comes the first priority of the people of the United States will be to insist that their representatives in Washington impeach Obama for failing to fulfill his oath of office.

Is this fatal accident still under investigation or just swept away?
To The Daily Sun,
I feel compelled to write this as a concerned citizen. We had a 82-year-old man by the name of John Giuffrida in a wheelchair, who was struck by a car while crossing South Main Street in front of Vista Foods on Saturday, June 7. I was there when this happened.
Usually I don't pay attention to people in wheel chairs to see where they are going, but something told me to watch this person to see if they were crossing on the crosswalk, and sure enough he was. I turned around and got into my car, all of a sudden there was this horrific crash. A customer said to me, "What was that?" I said, "I hope its not what I think it is. I think a man in a wheelchair just got hit." I got out of my car to have a look and sure enough this man was laying in the road groaning. I knew it had to be bad from the sound of the crash. Unfortunately a day later, this man passed away from his injuries. The police asked for eyewitness accounts and I went down to the Laconia Police Dept and filled out a statement.
Now this happened in June, and we are now into September. Is this accident still under investigation or has it been swept under the table? Anyone else wondering the same thing? I do believe the State of New Hampshire has a law that states stop for pedestrians on crosswalks. Why isn't the media on top of this one?

"Knowing where a domestication event first occurred is important, because there are always cultural ramifications from being first," said Sandra Olsen, Ph.D., curator of anthropology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, who did not participate in the research. "With a nucleus of animals that can serve as either a food source, transportation or some other purpose, particular cultures acquire advantages that make them more successful than their neighbors. Consider that animals like the horse and the donkey were used for military purposes.
"From the point of view of a biologist or someone who studies animal husbandry, it is interesting to find the source for a species because it can even have veterinary ramifications," she said. "The work done in this project is extraordinary. They located very hard to find samples not common at all in museums, and the archeological specimens are difficult to obtain positive results from because the heat often destroys the organic material. They've made some considerable advances."
Besides revealing that the African wild ass is the living ancestor of today's domestic donkeys, the genetic evidence also reveals that the Somali wild ass is not a living ancestor as once suspected, but closer akin to a more modern cousin.
That leaves a question of a remaining, yet unidentified ancestor of modern donkeys believed to have sprung from a different branch of the family. Researchers suspect that ancestors of this animal are extinct, but they may have roamed the Maghreb of northeastern Africa, and possibly the coast of Yemen.
The research was initiated by funding from the National Science Foundation and also supported by the Wildlife Trust, St. Louis Zoo, Basel Zoo, Liberec Zoo and the Sea World and Busch Gardens Conservation Fund.

MacBook Air sales off to fast start in Hong Kong
updated 11:40 am EDT, Fri August 26, 2011
May have triggered ripple effect for iPhone, iPad
The MacBook Air has been selling extremely well in Hong Kong since its debut there this week, says Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White. The computer is said to have generated long lineups and stock-outs, and possibly even created a halo effect for other Apple products. Stores in the city are said to have been sold out of the iPhone 4, and some models of the iPad 2 as well.
The sales bode well for the rest of China, White suggests. Checks reportedly indicate that the Air will launch in some mainland Chinese stores -- including Apple's -- as early as next week, and more broadly in September. White argues that the Air is "poised to be a big hit in the greater China region" as "more consumers can increasingly afford to own a PC." While most of China is still too poor to afford a computer, affluence has been growing and the country's massive population is still a relatively untapped market.
Backing the notion of a wider Chinese release next week are Apple resellers in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, which are said to be out of last-generation Airs. Like some other electronics makers, Apple tends to let old stock dwindle and evaporate in the run-up to a new launch.

Dimon: Let 'big dumb banks' fail

Fitch Publishes Spotlight Report on Wynn & Gaming-Focused Bankruptcy Case Study Report Business Wire NEW YORK -- September 4, 2013 Fitch Ratings has published two reports today: a spotlight report on Wynn Resorts, Ltd. and a bankruptcy case study special report focusing on the gaming, lodging and restaurants sector. The Wynn Resorts spotlight provides analysis on the company's dispute with Okada; the funding of the Cotai project; its license pursuits in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts; impact from Genting's Las Vegas project; Macau concession expirations, and recovery prospects of the debt issued at the U.S. subsidiary. The Wynn spotlight report also examines Fitch's outlook for the Las Vegas and Macau markets, and the rating and economic relationships between the parent company and the subsidiaries, supplemented with a Sources and Uses by Subsidiary table. Additional resources and analysis include FCF scenarios, a detailed maturity schedule, an organizational chart, covenant summaries and a corporate governance summary. The bankruptcy case study report summarizes 21 cases in the gaming, lodging and restaurant (GLR) sector, including creditor recoveries and reorganization enterprise values. The median EBITDA-to-enterprise valuation multiple for the 16 GLR reorganizations that had multiples available was 6.6x. This was marginally higher than the 6.2x median cross-sector U.S. corporate reorganization multiple for the 77 cases with reorganization multiples in Fitch's U.S. corporate ultimate recovery database. There was a median EBITDA to enterprise valuation of 7.1x for the 11 gaming cases with multiples available, which is similar to the long-term historic average transaction multiple of around 7.0x for the gaming industry. While the petition dates for all 21 cases fell between 2006 -2012, 13 of those companies filed for bankruptcy between 2008 -2010 at the height of the recession and credit crisis. A recurrent cause of defaults included cuts in consumer discretionary spending that led to lower revenues and cash flows. The study reinforces the cyclical nature of the GLR sector, discusses key drivers of the bankruptcies, regulatory considerations, and provides a screen of issuers with significant default risk. Both reports are available at www.fitchratings.com. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

I'm a guy who knows what he wants and works hard to achieve it. My job can be very demanding, and I'm currently pursuing some professional goals outside of work, so it's hard to meet new people. That said, I'm trying to lead a more balanced life, and if I found the right person, I would definitely make her a priority. The five words my friends would use to describe me are: loyal, sarcastic, meticulous, independent, and ambitious. A few random things about me: I'm left-handed, I always email and text using proper grammar and punctuation, and I have a huge crush on Michelle Pfeiffer.

Check Out Downtown Fremont Street in Las Vegas from Kat's Point of View [VIDEO]
I took video to share with you of my trip to Las Vegas and today, I thought I would share Fremont Street with you.
I took video to share with you of my trip to Las Vegas and today, I thought I would share Fremont Street with you.
I know being a celebrity come with the risk of losing your flippin' mind (just look at Miley Cyrus) but to me, the Beibs is just not beliebable as a bad boy! Just look at his mugshot...WHO SMILES IN A MUGSHOT?
Whether it be the commercials, the halftime show or, you know, the game itself, the Super Bowl gets everyone fired up -- so much so that the Super Bowl party has become an American institution.
Not much can dampen the enthusiasm we have for the biggest game in the sports world. But here are a few things you don't want to hear at any Super Bowl bash.
Generally mug shots are an embarrassing affair for multiple reasons (more often than not) -- but Justin Bieber seems to be an exception to the rule.
Why? He took one of the most photogenic mug shots we've ever seen.
Perhaps those Disney filmmakers are a bit more subversive than we thought.
My stepdaughter showed me a great app she has on her phone, so I gave it a try, and it's awesome! Check out the before & after photos!
Hey, if you don't want your mug shot taken, don't get arrested!
How it got there, I have no idea, but I have a couple of theories.
Leave it to the hilarious and wonderful Jennifer Lawrence to win Instagram before the 2014 Golden Globes even started!
Adding to our already hefty bank of 'Captain America 2' photos and footages comes a fresh batch of images from Marvel's ambitious next installment. Why is it ambitious? Not only will the sequel (officially titled 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier') introduce comic book hero The Falcon through actor Anthony Mackie among a slew of new and returning characters, but it's also Marvel's attempt to revamp the superhero genre.
Kylie Jenner has cut her luscious locks -- but don't worry, it's only a "lil shorter"!
Every now and then I like to search #Evansville on Instagram and see what other people are posting about our great city. Take a look at 5 of my favorites from the last couple of weeks.
