I am a UK taxpayer and would like Islamic Help to claim Gift Aid on this donation.
I am a UK taxpayer and would like Islamic Help to treat this donation, all donations I have made in the last four years prior to this and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify Islamic Help otherwise, as Gift Aid donations.
I understand that I must pay or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6th April to 5th April) at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities and CASCs I donate to, will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I have given.
|You have no donations in your basket.
Volunteers are a cornerstone of Islamic Help and fundamental to the work of the organisation. Islamic Help values its volunteers and their willingness and enthusiasm to donate the most precious of resources, namely, their time. As such we are able to provide a range of volunteering opportunities and experiences based on volunteers' interests, desires and skills.
We are committed to making the volunteering experience a truly reciprocal one and work hard to ensure that while benefiting from the contribution volunteers make, we provide volunteers with a rewarding and beneficial experience of volunteering with us.
Let your imagination shape your
volunteering experience at Islamic Help
Volunteering with Islamic Help takes any form that the volunteer wishes it to take. We start by asking about your skills and interests and then try to provide you with the most appropriate of volunteering experiences. Of course, fundraising remains the most popular form of volunteering but there are many other ways in which our volunteers contribute. Many assist with office and administrative support duties, others steward at events that the organisation holds, and others organise events.
Volunteer Abroad
Islamic Help offers its volunteers opportunities to volunteer abroad and recognises the value of the experience to them. Of course, logistically it can be tricky taking volunteers overseas and the opportunities are fewer than with domestic ventures, but Islamic Help is always pushing the boundaries to allow volunteers to maximise their potential.
Mission Possible
We rely on the contributions of our volunteers and over the years have developed programmes to help them participate in our overseas programme. Mission Possible, our flagship volunteering programme, evolved from Mission to Mafia, a ground-breaking initiative which started in 2008 and was an unmitigated and resounding success for all those involved.
For the two Missions - the second one was in 2010 - a group of UK-based volunteers went to Mafia Island off the coast of Tanzania to carry out aid work. The volunteers had to demonstrate a certain level of commitment in order to be accepted onto the Mission, including raising £5,000 to pay for their own travel and the aid they distributed. After their recruitment, the volunteers were trained and supported by the Islamic Help team in readiness for their journey.
That philosophy and policy has continued with Mission Possible, which now enlists volunteers for several deployments each year. The work carried out by volunteers at their destination includes, among other things, working with orphans, schoolchildren, distributing health and medical aid, taking part in community building projects and helping establish livelihood ventures. Full details of Mission Possible and how to take part can be found at the Mission Possible pages on this website (http://islamichelp.org.uk/missionpossible).
Volunteer deployments
In 2014, Islamic Help widened the range of opportunities it offers volunteers by starting deployments to the Middle East to help distribute aid to Syrian refugees. On the first of these, three volunteers raised fund to travel to Jordan where they joined Islamic Help staff in distributing aid to Syrian families in refugee camps (see Volunteers Blogs).
There are other opportunities to travel to our country offices and with our International Programmes Team. Volunteers have travelled out on numerous occasions - however, those wishing to travel abroad will need to demonstrate a certain level of commitment to Islamic Help and to international development work.
Volunteering FAQ's
Why do people volunteer?
There are many reasons why people choose to get involved. Here are just a few:
Who can volunteer?
Anybody is welcome to volunteer for Islamic Help - we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for everyone who volunteers with us. We have volunteers who are students, retired, unemployed, employed, elderly and young and our volunteers are drawn from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Any volunteers who want to work with children may be subject to CRB checks.
Do you offer training to volunteers?
We hold volunteer seminars and also provide induction training to ensure that volunteers are able to carry out their tasks in as safe a way as possible. We also train our volunteers so that they are familiar with the organisation and its work. In addition we provide training and materials so that volunteers have the requisite knowledge and skills to carrying out any given task.
The volunteer co-ordinator or another member of staff supervises the work of volunteers and will be on hand to answer questions and queries. Volunteers who undertake fundraising are supported in their role by the Fundraising Team and staff who are able to address questions and queries.
What will I get out of volunteering?
You can get whatever it is that you want to get from the experience but you can expect to acquire skills, experience, confidence, new friends and contacts and the satisfaction of knowing that you have made a difference to the lives of countless people around the world!! Oh… and you will definitely get hours of fun and laughter along the way!
How much time do I have to give?
As much or as little time as you have to spare! Simply tell us how much time you can give and when you can give it and we will find a volunteering role to accommodate you. Remember your contribution is valued by us no matter how big or small.
Our volunteers give their time according to their circumstances - some volunteer on a regular basis for a few hours a week, others volunteer at one-off events, still others join our database and are happy to step in we need extra volunteer support.
What skills do I need to volunteer?
This will depend on what you choose to do. We have many highly skilled volunteers who contribute to our work. However, many roles do not require a specific skill set. We will work with you to identify volunteering roles and if you do not have the necessary skills for a particular role it may be that we can support you in developing them.
Will volunteering affect my benefits?
No. Volunteering should not affect the benefit payments you receive. Volunteers are not paid for their time. People claiming Job Seekers' Allowance (JSA) can volunteer as long as they remain available for work and are actively seeking paid employment.
People claiming Incapacity Benefit, Income Support and / or Disability Living Allowance can also volunteer.
However, we recommend that you contact the Benefits Agency or your Jobcentre Plus and take their advice on any implications volunteering may have on your benefits.
I'm an asylum seeker / refugee, can I volunteer?
People who have refugee status or have exceptional leave to remain are allowed to do any type of work, including voluntary work. You may have a letter saying that you must not engage in paid work but this does not apply to roles that are voluntary and you are entitled to receive out-of-pocket expenses.
Again we recommend that you take independent advice if you have any concerns about volunteering.
Please note too that any volunteering involving work with children may mean that we have to carry out Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks - if you are a recent arrival this can take some time.
Will it cost me anything to volunteer?
No, volunteering for Islamic Help should not leave you out of pocket - in fact, we will try to reimburse legitimate expenses.
Volunteer Success Stories
Countless Islamic Help volunteers have made a real difference to the lives of others whilst gaining practical experience, skills and insight for themselves. Here are just a few!
"I have been a volunteer for Islamic Help since April 2010 and have really enjoyed my experience of volunteering! Having started with helping out at events I then applied to go on the Mission to Mafia. Following an intense period of fundraising to raise £5000 I was thrilled to be part of the team deployed to Mafia Island, Tanzania. The experience was phenomenal and opened my eyes to the realities of poverty and to how hard charities work to try to alleviate it. Islamic Help has helped me more than words can describe and I definitely recommend volunteering with Islamic Help as they make you feel valued and appreciated!"
Shabana Parveen 23 Years Old - Graduate in Social Policy
"It is a great privilege to be volunteering with an organisation like Islamic Help, the amazing and unique work they do in the most needy parts of the world is truly exceptional. It was this reputation that brought me to volunteer for this amazing charity, after I was made redundant from a senior position in the NHS. I wanted to do something worthwhile and rewarding with my time and work with people I admired and respected, which I found in Islamic Help. I have learnt new skills and have been given opportunities to help me in this world and more importantly in the next world. I am truly amazed at the dedication of the staff and the large number of volunteers at Islamic Help and look forward to continuing to work with Islamic Help"
Waheed Saleem BSc, FRSA - Director of WS Associates Midlands Ltd
Volunteering at Events
There's nothing quite like being part of a team that organises and manages a major event in the Islamic Help Calendar – most such events are designed to highlight any number of the issues that we seek to address, raise much needed funds for tackling such issues or to contribute to events held by other organisations that we support.
Thanks to a large contingent of dedicated volunteers we always have a strong presence at one such event - the GPU – the sense of satisfaction that our volunteers get from seeing the fruits of their contribution is palpable!
You too can help make our events memorable, raise the profile of Islamic Help and most importantly of all raise money for our work across the world.

17:24–27 The temple tax was prescribed in Ex. 30:13. The passage is not about paying taxes to the civil authority (22:21). Jesus' point is that the Christ and His disciples enjoy a relationship with God that frees them from the obligations imposed upon "others." Yet Jesus is willing to conform to previous requirements in order to avoid giving offense. Paul advised (Rom. 14:13–21) and practiced (Acts 16:3; 21:26) similar continued observance of some ritual requirements of the Old Testament law.

The Simulated Environment for Theatre (SET) is a 3D environment for reading, exploring, and directing plays. Designed and developed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers, SET uses the Unity game engine to allow users to both author and playback digital theatrical productions.The Simulated Environment for Theatre (SET) research team is comprised of researchers and assistants from universities across Canada who, collectively, have expertise in theatre, humanities computing, multimedia, graphic design, computer science and English. Their interests lie in the analysis, display, and reception of text, performance and graphics through technology. Since the project began in 2003, at various stages of development, the team has had the opportunity to collaborate with a number of researchers, professors and students in the design, programming and testing of the SET Interface.The Simulated Environment for Theatre (SET) research team came together in 2008 to enhance and build upon the capabilities of its predecessor, Watching the Script, a 2-dimensional digital environment for reading, exploring, and directing plays. Watching the Script was developed by members of the Experimental Reading Workshop (ERW), an open-ended research and design project collectively led by faculty, students and staff at the University of Alberta. Founded in 2003, the ERW currently operates under the umbrella of the Canadian Institute for Research in Computing and the Arts (CIRCA).

Job description
The geomorphology of tropical rivers has received insufficient attention when compared to related scientific disciplines. Scientists focussing on tropical water management and on global concerns of biodiversity and carbon cycling generally cope with an incomplete understanding of the physical hydrosystem, and the associated geomorphology. The Kapuas River represents a large meandering river in an area hosting peat bogs and a lakes region. The main objective of the PhD study is to identify the key environmental factors and hydrodynamic processes controlling downstream changes in meander behaviour in the Kapuas River.
We are looking for a PhD candidate with a keen interest both in geomorphology and in computational fluid mechanics. The approach consists of a systematic geographic analysis, hydrographic field surveys of selected meander bends, hydrodynamic and morphodynamic modeling, and a synthesis with findings from three associated research projects. In the first 18 months, field data will be collected in the Kapuas region. Subsequently, complex flow patterns, turbulence structures and morphodynamic developments observed in selected meander bends will be simulated using a state-of-the-art model. The last year is dedicated to analysis and writing of the thesis.
The PhD candidate will work in a team consisting of 3 PhD researchers and a Postdoc, all part of the overarching project 'Hydrology-geomorphology links in the Kapuas River System'.
Conditions of employment

GMC Yukon Problem Report
GMC Yukon Rear door lock stuck

rear hatch door does not close - indianqueen62

I have the same problem with right passenger door. It does work consistently and it is not reliable locking by remote. I am just dealing with it! - Patriotmom
The bottom rear hatch of my 2000 Yukon Denali will not open. - Visitor
The rear locking mechanism in my 2000 gmc yukon appears to be stuck and I cannot close the door. The lock catch seems to have moved out of place and when I push the door in it is still ajar. Is there any way to solve the problem? I tried using the lock/unlock lever on the door as well as the key fob but the lock clip on the inside of the door appears to have shifted down thereby preventing the door from locking. The door handle is not broken just the clip inside the door that keeps the door lock once closed. - PGM2008

"How much?" the little fat man in the sequin-decorated beanie asked breathlessly.
His wide eyes traveled upward from Lacy's nonstop legs, in black embroidered stockings, to her tiny waist and temptingly revealed breasts, and his gaze locked, jammed, and couldn't move.
"That is," he said, obviously awe-struck, "if your schedule isn't all filled up for tonight."
Good grief, Lacy thought -- whirling around on her bar stool to face the group of conventioneers in matching sequin-decorated beanies who were avidly watching -- it's the dress!
She had floated into the hotel bar in a daze of happiness to order a split of champagne and celebrate the most wonderful thing that had happened to her in a long time: getting a new job as fashion writer for Fad magazine. She was still wearing the black Claude Montana that she'd modeled on the runway in the hotel ballroom for the Western States Fashion Wholesalers' show.
The Montana number was the wildest of the wild, something not really intended for Tulsa, Oklahoma; it was only included in the fashion show to top off the finale. The Montana was made of black silk crepe with exaggeratedly padded shoulders and the neckline plunging to the waist. It was also slit up the front from the hem almost to the crotch in a style more suited to New York or the more far-out boutiques of Rodeo Drive. The fillip for the wholesalers' fashion show -- guaranteed to bring gasps of delight -- were embroidered black-on-black silk stockings attached to an equally scandalous black satin garter belt that managed to reveal a naked pearly strip of Lacy's delectable inner thigh. That is, unless Lacy had her knees together and demurely pointed to the wooden panel of the bar. Which she'd had until a few minutes ago, when she'd thoughtlessly crossed her legs and attracted fat little Mr. Beanie.
The Claude Montana was the latest "tarty" look from Paris. It had knocked 'em dead, dress wholesalers and retail-store buyers alike, when Lacy had pranced down the hotel-ballroom runway in it, her smoky-blond hair teased and sprayed into a fantastic curly cloud around her head. At five feet nine inches, she'd carried the whole thing magnificently. The show's coordinator had agreed that only Lacy Kingston, with her face and figure virtually a clone of top models Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley, could wear the Claude Montana black crepe extravaganza and not have it turn into a vulgar disaster. With Lacy's All-American Girl body, brilliant green eyes and wide, mobile mouth, she was provocative, wanton, and had impeccable class.
That is, except in the old-West-style bar called the Grand Saloon. Mr. Sequin Beanie and his friends seemed to have been so impressed with Paris's haut monde "tarty look" they had taken her for a real tart!
Lacy was famous for her zany sense of humor, but she felt a very real twinge of irritation. Hookers often passed themselves off as models; she'd run into that more than once when telling people what she did for a living. Which was one reason she wanted to get out of her present line of work. Being gorgeous and outwardly sophisticated didn't really mean that one was that way to the core, even in the competitive fashion business known as the rag trade. At twenty-three, Lacy had definitely grown somewhat cynical, as she fended off passes from wholesalers, retailers and fashion photographers. Right now, she told herself, she had a right to celebrate her new job without being pestered. She'd waited for years to be a fashion writer. She'd earned her quiet little split of champagne; ordinarily she'd never touch a drop of alcohol because it could do the most horrible things to the complexion, like robbing it of precious moisture and causing wrinkles. Now here, she thought, staring at him, was Mr. Beanie People, wanting to know how much of her evening time he could buy!
Good grief, Lacy thought, what a nerd! How could she get rid of him?
Lacy's devilish sense of humor stirred restlessly. She'd had a split of champagne on a stomach that had had breakfast but no lunch or dinner. Some perverse demon, at that moment, seized her tongue.
Lacy scooped up her smoky-blond teased curls with one hand and shot Mr. Beanie a look from under her fake inch-long model's eyelashes that should have melted his shoelaces.
"It'll cost you, honey," Lacy said in her best imitation of Marlene Dietrich in the classic 1930s movie The Blue Angel.
The little man in the red hat seemed to tremble visibly. "How much?" he asked hoarsely.
Lacy also did a good imitation of Mae West in her famous old movie with Cary Grant called She Done Him Wrong. She stared at the little man, fighting down the urge to giggle. She didn't want to kill him outright.
She had no idea what price hookers were asking either in New York -- where she'd just come from -- or in Tulsa. She looked over Mr. Beanie's head and saw the bar's patrons were nearly all men, a seemingly affluent lot in expensively tailored Western-style clothes. At the moment they all seemed to be looking at her.
The same reckless devil prodded Lacy again. "Fifteen hundred dollars," she said throatily.
She never knew where the words had come from; they just seemed to jump out of the air. Lacy lifted the almost empty champagne glass to her lips and watched the little man literally stagger backward.
"All night?" he sputtered. "Gotta be all night at that price!"
Ugh, Lacy thought, watching him. She was realizing that she hadn't the faintest idea of what a big-time, worldclass hooker would do to earn fifteen hundred dollars. In spite of her sophisticated veneer and the Claude Montana, Lacy was still a well-brought-up lawyer's daughter from Long Island.
Mr. Beanie was dumbfounded, too. As he tottered away to report back to his friends, Lacy turned back to the bar. The next time, she promised herself, she'd watch what she was wearing when she bolted out of fashion-show dressing rooms to celebrate. Fifteen hundred dollars? Of all the sums she could have named, why that?
She supposed she knew the answer. Underneath her lacquered, professional beauty, Lacy was a girl who'd had only one disastrous sexual experience, in the front seat of a Buick convertible at age seventeen, and she'd been running ever since. Fifteen hundred dollars seemed like the right figure to keep away short fat men in sequined beanies looking for hookers, that was all.
She finished the last of the champagne in the bottom of her glass, studying her reflection in the bar mirror behind the lighted liquor bottles. She had to admit the dress was really awful, but she'd gotten used to wearing crazy, shocking clothes, because of her basic, hard-to-hide All-American Girl image. Lacy studied her hair. The dark-blond curls springing out from her face in wanton, teased, high-fashion were too much, she thought morosely. It was going to take her a full hour to wash out the hair spray and setting gel. Nobody appreciated all the trouble that went into professional modeling; it would take another hour to cream her face, because her skin had a tendency to acne when exposed to the West's hard water. It would be midnight, even as tired as she was, before she could finally creep into bed. Thankfully, the show moved on to Scottsdale, Arizona, then New York and oh, glory -- her job on Fad magazine! She was really going to be a writer, she thought, mentally pinching herself to be sure it was true.
"I'll buy," a low, quiet, very male voice said.
Lacy lifted her inch-long fake lashes slowly. She'd forgotten what the subject was. "Hmmm?" she murmured abstractedly.
Whoever he was, he was tall. So tall that Lacy, five feet nine and tall even sitting down, had to look up. Six feet four or more, her mind registered. Dark hair expensively styled -- at least a forty-dollar haircut -- framed a taut, authoritative, good-looking face with a strong jaw, high cheekbones and a determined slash of a hard mouth. And what a body! Her eyes passed up and down it quickly, noting that he was not only tall but wide. The last time Lacy had seen a physique like that was at the circus. The broad-shouldered V that tapered to hard, slim hips and long, muscled legs belonged to a circus aerialist -- big chest, big biceps and forearms, strong, tough-looking hands.
Lacy felt a very peculiar tingling all the way down to the pit of her stomach. There was nothing about this stunning man that reminded one of a circus. He was encased in a magnificently tailored tuxedo, with black tie and a conservative starched white shirt. A big, very expensive Rolex gold watch rode a wrist lightly speckled with fine black hairs. A gold ring with a fine blue-white diamond adorned a finger on the same hand. The exposed French cuff had a square cuff link, expensive and tasteful.
Wow, Lacy thought weakly. What a lot of power, what a lot of carefully stated authority! He looked about thirty-six or -seven, she judged as she lifted her eyes slowly and met patiently waiting, powerful gray ones, like a poker player's. There was a distinct shock as that look connected with hers; his eyes seemed to be wired for 220 rather alarming volts.
"What?" Lacy said between suddenly stiff lips.
"I said you're on," he told her quietly.
"Urk!" It was all the response Lacy could allow herself. She knew he wasn't referring to buying her a drink.
"I assume it is all night," he added smoothly.
One of his large hands, the one with the gold ring on it, grasped Lacy's arm lightly but firmly in the soft flesh above her elbow. His movement was intended to politely guide her from the bar stool, but to Lacy the grip was as inexorable as a pair of handcuffs.
She didn't need a computer printout at that moment to know that the towering hunk in the tuxedo had overheard her conversation with Mr. Sequin Beanie and was taking her up on it. She had to do something clever and intelligent. And quick! Lacy wet her lips. The gray eyes followed the movement with a sudden, powerful interest. "I'm all booked up," Lacy said helplessly.
Why, she wondered with a sort of horror, did her mind keep feeding her all these wrong lines tonight? She didn't know where they were coming from! Obviously the gray, commanding eyes didn't believe her. His next words proved it.
"I don't think so," he said. "You wouldn't be sitting here in the bar at this hour if you were."
Help, Mother, I'm being hustled by the Mob! Lacy's inner voice wailed as she stared at him. He did look something like the Mob, except that he was actually too tasteful. The Mob would have a bigger diamond ring. Two bigger diamond rings?
She had to get out of this somehow, Lacy knew. She was being mistaken for a hooker by perhaps a member of the Mob with a body like a six-foot-four circus aerialist in a perfectly tailored Savile Row tuxedo.
"No credit cards or checks," the devil in Lacy's tongue said smartly. The devil thought that would take care of it, but it didn't.
"Cash," the low, even voice replied.
The eyes like the Antarctic Ocean flowing under ice dropped to Lacy's black strappy sandals with their four-inch heels, went carefully up her legs in their embroidered black-on-black silk stockings to the entrancingly pearly strip of thigh and then to Lacy's admirably slender waist, to the nearly vulgar cleavage saved by her truly lovely breasts, to her blush-stained throat and finally to her face.
The look was one that should have raised Lacy's blood pressure a notch in spontaneous fury -- calmly calculating, the look of a sharp, perceptive buyer trained in stock manipulations, blackjack games or even bank embezzlements. Thoroughly appraising. Obviously very, very interested.
His free hand reached into the perfectly cut tuxedo jacket and drew out a handsome English leather wallet and laid it on the bar. He moved a little closer so that his big body blocked the view. Only the bartender in his red jacket a few feet away could see what was going on. Then the long, tanned fingers flipped open the wallet so that Lacy could see an array of fifty-and one-hundred-dollar bills packed in it. Just as quickly, the fingers flipped the wallet shut again and put it back in the inside pocket of the black tuxedo.
It looked, Lacy dithered, like he was carrying literally thousands of dollars! Her heart was pounding so, she feared it would do devastating things to the precarious Claude Montana cleavage. Like jump out and land on the bar next to the champagne bottle. "I can't," she heard herself say.
That was right, she couldn't. Newly employed fashion writers for Fad magazine were very vulnerable. The circus aerialist who looked somewhat like a large black panther thought she was a hooker. What was it going to take to make him go away?
"I'm waiting for a very important -- client," Lacy hissed. She thought that was the right word. "Now beat it."
The Antarctic-gray eyes rejected that, too. "Shall we go?" he said, exerting a little pressure on her elbow.
Lacy clung to the edge of the Western-style bar with one desperate hand. "There's been a misunderstanding," she babbled. Why not let him have it? Why not the truth? "Actually, I'm a model!"
The moment the words were out of her mouth Lacy knew it was another mistake. He'd heard that one, too. She saw the corners of his mouth turn up, then his gray eyes lifted, leveling on the bartender, who was now pretending to be polishing glasses.
"There's a city ordinance against soliciting in hotels." His voice was expressionless, unyielding. "Bill, the bartender there, will confirm that."
Lacy swiveled on the stool and saw the bartender nodding. She'd blown it, she thought frantically. She could just see the item in the New York Daily News: "Lacy Kingston, former New York fashion model and would-be Fad magazine reporter, was arrested in a Tulsa, Oklahoma, hotel bar last night for -- "
"Who are you?" Lacy squeaked, in the grip of sudden, mindless terror. "A cop?"
Policeman! her inner voice screamed instantly. Say, policeman, dummy! Or law-enforcement officer. Anything but cop!
"Let's get out of the bar, shall we?" the inexorable voice was saying.
Lacy's knees buckled as she slid from the bar stool, and it wasn't because of the champagne she'd been drinking. She'd been in worse spots before -- though at the moment she couldn't think of any. Pass it off with a few laughs, she tried to tell herself. Remember the time she'd punched out Peter Dorsey, the great fashion photographer, and blown the contract he'd offered her just because she wouldn't go to bed with him? Remember the I. Magnin buyer just last week? Remember --
None of them looked like this sleek, powerful Mob-type banker in his tux who was nearly dragging her by the arm away from the bar! Now they were sprinting across the lobby at a fast clip. Lacy saw two bellboys spring to open the elevator doors as though she and her escort were VIPs.
The lobby was no place to scream for help. On the other hand, if he was a cop, this didn't look like the way to the paddy wagon, either.
They were almost at the elevator. Lacy dug her four-inch heels into the lobby carpet and skidded to a stop.
"I forgot my purse," she cried, looking up at the dark head that bent to her attentively. "I have to go back to the bar!"
"It's on your arm." Strong fingers tightened around her elbow, guiding her inside the elevator. The bellboys rushed to guard the doors as they closed.
"I wasn't soliciting," Lacy cried. She tried to get her arm out of that deadening grip. "Besides, the hotel won't allow you to -- "
"I know what the hotel allows and what it doesn't," he said as the elevator began its ascent.
Lacy slumped against the side of the elevator. "How?" she whispered.
He looked up to study the blinking lights over the doors. "Because I control enough of the hotel stock to say."
OK, now they were in an elevator, she told herself, numbly fighting down panic. She needed a game plan. But at the moment she was going to have to settle for going along with what was happening, to wait for the doors to open on the next floor and then to run like crazy. Even if she was a little dizzy with champagne, she bet she could beat him in a foot race if she took off the ludicrous heels. On the other hand, she really felt like throwing herself down on the floor of the elevator and crying hysterically.
Lacy stared at the right shoulder of the black tuxedo towering beside her. It looked as monolithic and unshakable as the granite hills of South Dakota. The jaw, the handsome, hard-cheekboned face didn't look like a lot of laughs. Neither did the firmly set mouth, with its slight indent at the corner that would have been a nice, shallow dimple on anybody else. There he stood, six feet four of muscle and purposeful concentration, looking at the floor-indicator lights.
He obviously heard Lacy take a loud, sobbing breath, because he turned to her. "Don't crouch down like that," he said. "I'm not going to hurt you. In contrast to some of your other clients, I suppose." He studied her with a slight frown. "You really are extraordinarily ... beautiful, for this sort of life." The eyes became rather steely. "You charge for it, of course."
"Glurg," Lacy breathed. She wanted to draw herself up and match him steely look for steely look, but she found all she could do was cower. Just as he said.
"Ah," he said, suddenly remembering. "The money."
The wallet came out again. Lacy watched, mesmerized, as tanned fingers opened the black silk purse still hanging by the strap from her shoulder. They counted off one-hundred-dollar bills. One. Two. Three -- At one point he lifted gray eyes to see her watching, and the corners of his mouth turned down. He took the wad of bills and shoved them abruptly into her purse and snapped it shut.
Where, Lacy thought wildly, was the game plan that was going to rescue her from this? She was getting paid in advance for something she was definitely not going to do!
"Be calm," he told her as she trembled. "The money's yours. There'll be nothing kinky, nothing rough."
Kinky? Rough? Lacy felt as though she were going to faint. How am I going to get out of this without landing in the newspapers? her inner voice wailed.
He watched her with a faintly inquiring expression. "You haven't been doing this long, have you?" he observed.
"Too long, actually," Lacy gritted, feeling weak.
He suddenly moved to put both his big hands on her shoulders, pulling her to him slightly to look down at her. Lacy couldn't move. The elevator slowed, purred to a stop, but the doors did not open.
The hallway, she thought frantically as she stared up at him. She would make a break for it. There were always fire stairs in a hotel. She could outrun him going downstairs. Even if he did look like a professional athlete. She braced herself to leap out into the corridor at the first move.
The elevator doors, however, remained shut. The tall man held her with one hand and reached over her shoulder to push a combination number on a bank of buttons to release the computer lock. With a lurch, the elevator started up again. The top button said, PENTHOUSE.
There were several long, terrible seconds while Lacy tried to realize there would be no hotel corridor, no fire stairs. Penthouse? The only way out of something like that was by parachute! The elevator came to a stop, and the doors pulled back.
Oh, God, she saw it really was a penthouse! It was not a hotel corridor but an elegant, small foyer decorated in smoked-glass panels, abstract paintings and chrome chairs against deep chocolate-brown carpeting. She saw a vast room in beige and black and brown, wrapped around by large windows that showed a spangled panorama of lights that was Tulsa, Oklahoma, at night.
"Here we are," he said, taking her by the arm again.
Lacy allowed him to steer her into the vast room. She could only think hysterically of escape.
And there was none.

When he does nothing but post the same drivel blatantly stating he doesn't play MMORPG's for social interaction, and enters nearly every post where people discuss options he doesn't like when he simply doesn't have to post at all if it isn't a topic that interests him beyond to argue and troll... IDK why the forum mods don't warn him or ban him...unless he pays them to freely do so because he works for some gaming company (Guessing blizzard since he nuzzles D3's bag in most posts for examples...FOR MMORPG's lol) Awaiting my ban now for daring to confront one of their many apparent forum prodigies and monetary contributors...as seems to happen to anyone who does so. Didn't name names...but stating an obvious pattern of habit.
Just doesn't get that this is what sets MMORPG's apart from any other form of gaming. Social interaction is what made them great. I played EQ for 5 years. Sure, it had a lot of content...but combat was rather bland, and there were many things that could of been done better. But what kept me there 5 years was the community above all else. Still friends with many people I played with in that game and keep in contact.

And people are avoiding socialization if they can. Isn't that pretty good evidence that people don't want to socialize?
Originally posted by MMORPGRIP
If so, why WOW is so much more enjoyable for so many than EQ when it needs less social interactions?
The MMO market expands when social interaction is marginized. So how is social interactions the key thing to make it great?
You only mean that you like it, and you dislike opinions different from your own.

As usual try to twist it around and fail.
WoW was only so popular because of their mass marketing and pulling in tons of NON-MMORPG players because it was built to do so.
I never said I don't like that type of stuff...just not in MMORPG's. When I don't want social interaction, I play console games, or other genres of games that interest me, but don't require social interaction. And also don't require me to advocate to turn them so because I am selfish. This is why their are different genres.
Maybe someday you can get it through your extremely thick skull that MMORPG's are different from other forms of gaming for a reason, and if you don't like them for that reason..maybe you should be playing other games as I do.
You have stated REPEATEDLY you don't like social interaction, like fast paced, high reward games, and games that pretty much lead you along and keep it fast fun. Should be a clue.
Originally posted by MMORPGRIP
That is such a narrow minded view.
Why would i limit my enjoyment of MMO to social interaction? If a MMO has good instance missions, i will play it like a SP game. Is there a reason why i should not do so if that is fun to me?
In fact, i don't see why I should treat MMO any different from other games. If it is fun in some parts, i will play it and ignore the parts i don't like.
I don't advocate turning MMOs into anything. They are already like that. If devs want my time by catering to my taste, is there a reason i should refuse free fun? If they were not doing so, you think i would be here?

Narrow minded is trying to turn EVERY game of EVERY genre into the same type of game...as you constantly do, and your post history shows that.

Everything is mass market fast food when it comes to the larger companies these days.
Asheron's Call, SWG, DAOC - I remember having very active and fun communities in all of these games.
Now so many just jump from game to game insanely fast. Nothing holds peoples attention long enough.
I honestly have more faith in some Kickstarter MMOs vs the other stuff coming down the pipe.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Not 10 years,exactly the same time Wow arrived because solo question does not a single thing to promote community.It is like designing a game to be a single player game then add internet and call it a mmo.EQ2 is the same thing solo questing then if want a dungeon run you ask guildies.
When you play a grouped game you group 90% of the time,get to know people a lot better and look forward to the next day of grouping.The problem is when a game tries to do everything ,it still leans everyone towards the solo aspect.So you end up with 99% the players soloing,it makes it really tough to start a group,ends up maybe a duo or trio,because no matter what your still doing that same solo content.Most games will have a couple big quests where people have to group but that is like 2-3 minutes then the people disband to soloing again.

World > Quest Progression
Originally posted by nariusseldon
To the first point, combat is the only way to progress 99% of the time. Whether it is a burden would make no difference in most MMOs since they are combat based. A more comparible scenerio would be if each player had a sequence of three moves that allowed them to kill any mob. No matter how fun the combat would be using the other 20 abilities... most would opt for the three button solution if the end goal was gaining levels.
The second point relates to the first, if an MMO's gameplay makes it easier to be anti-social we really don't know how many prefer it. We only know they want to progress asap... another design flaw IMO regardless of what players may want. More popular =/= better and many did not play the games that did focus on community as a comparison.
I was answering the OP's question because I think there is a direct connection between a player's conenction to the gameworld and how long they stay. The staying longer part is important to companies so it's no surprise that newer titles are at least saying the right things. We'll see if they actually deliver and if more than a small minority prefer a larger social aspect.

Why are the communities in small, rural areas are so close nit, friendly while the communities in larger cities such as New York, Detroit so dysfunctional and unfriendly?

Once again for the thick skulled crew....I never said I didn't like those types of games, just not when it comes to MMORPG's. Please read before selecting a particular portion of a post that fits your needs.
When I want quick fun that rewards me every 10 seconds, I play console games, or some other PC based game other than MMORPG's.
When I want to interact with others, group up and adventure across vast landscapes, and develop a character to my play style and build it's reputation through my actions within that world, I play MMORPG's...or use to anyways until they became PC based console games.
I'm not saying I want them to cater to ME. Simply stating what they use to be, what I'd like to see again (Which can be done in a way that takes the good from the old and incorporates it into the new) in at least one MMORPG. If anyone here sounds selfish and wanting catered to it's "The crew"...as I call it.
Why should you all care if there are those of us that want to discuss the possibility of an old school themed MMORPG coming around again? Why do you feel the need to enter every one of those types of threads and interject your "expert knowledge"? Just don't enter the thread or respond...it's that simple bud. You don't see me in WoW threads or any other modern based thread I don't care for arguing with those people...do the same will ya.
Don't give me the "majority" and "money" BS. Yes, although I am fully aware that is a factor in today's greed induced world, a MMORPG, or any game for that matter can be produced that is outside the norm and masses liking that can pull profit and survive (I.E. EvE Online, EQ..That is STILL going and turning profit). Not every MMORPG has to have a ridiculous budget to succeed.

Evidence of that causal MMORPG's fail is that they're surviving on a gimmick. Eventually all these games will just be instanced single player games with a 4-5 mass instanced lobbies with most players sitting around in rags and half dead looking horses with ads popping every 5 seconds promoting sparkly ponies and all the cool looking stuff not being obtainable by playing.

Community was the biggest enjoyment I gleaned from MMOs. That's what I no longer play MMOs.

Other people add options and many variables. I was never forced to group. Yet I found in UO I grouped more than any other game. Here are some reasons to want to play an MMO, but not for the sole reason of grouping.
-helping random people (in some games i'd provide that heal, or few attacks someone needed to survive)
-getting killed or killing others (competition)
-the world looks and feels alive with others walking around and doing actual stuff (rather than npcs being scripted)
-depending on the game the very look of the world is developed by its community (housing for instance)
-social hubs (brit bank anyone?)
In games that force grouping you don't really get the chance to stand out. Everyone ends up having to fit a specific role that thousands upon thousands have already done before you. Back in the day of UO, EQ and even DAOC people could actually become well known in their communities. In UO maybe you were that guy who was known for pking the graveyard, or the guy who sold his smithy products super cheap. In EQ's early days maybe you were that awesome guy helping people to travel, or the one who'd show up at a camp to save everyone when they were overwhelmed. In todays games, you group up, go in a dungeon, find the pattern to beating the boss, then leave. You make no social bonds. In your next group all you hope for is someone to fill a specific role so you can defeat a boss with a specific pattern.
I guess people really do dislike virtual game worlds now.... :(

It takes time for communities to form. In RL, the concept of "community" simply requires a group of people to be together for a while. They start recognizing each other by sight, or by the sound of their voices. The members of any community interact, be it active or passively. Just seeing the same people around in the same place every day causes a community to form. In small towns that is more likely to happen than in big cities.
Ten years ago you created your character on a specific server. When you logged-in, you saw everyone else that was in that particular area of the game world. Levelling was much slower than today, which meant you saw the same characters many, many times on your way to level cap. You saw the max-level people every time you went to the main city or trading hub. If you wanted to group, the only options were people from your server.
Let's face it, very few people strike up a conversation with a complete stranger at a bus stop. But if they've met that same stranger at that same bus stop every day for a month, then it would not be unusual for a few words to be exchanged.
Nowadays, game design has evolved to allow "phasing", mega-servers, cross-server dungeon queues, etc.
You may be in the "main city" at the big auction house, but that part of the game world is "phased", so multiple instances of it exist simultaneously. The people you saw yesterday standing at the auctioneer, may be standing there again today, but they are spread over 15 different duplicates of reality. You could play every day for a week and never again see the player you saw on day 1, even though he/she is playing in the same "place in the world" as you are.
Leveling speed:
Leveling speed in modern MMO's is orders of magnitude higher than in the "old" games. You simply don't spend much time on the journey, and the amount of shared experiences with the same group of players is much more limited. It's very easy to lose sight of people that started on the same day as you did, because if they play 3 hours longer than you do, they've advanced to the next zone and you'll most likely never see them again. Because by the time you've reached level-cap, they're quite possible at L15 in a different game already.
Game design:
Ten years ago, MMO's often simulated real worlds, and many of the game play elements modeled real world activities. You went to a dock to catch a boat to another continent. You went to spaceport to catch a shuttle to another planet. There was traveling time, and often "waiting time". After a big fight, you had to sit down to rest and recover ! All these "downtimes" were opportunities for chatting. Those downtimes have all been removed from modern games.
Modern MMO design almost regards it as a SIN to require a player to do anything but non-stop action, rewards and thrills. Of course, human beings grow used-to certain levels of stimulation, so each new game has to improve on the previous ones by delivering faster action with bigger lightshows and greater rewards...

I think as time goes on and titles gravitate to community tools (e.g. reasons to really socialize) you'll see a rise in participation by those that haven't had it before.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, mediaweek.co.uk, Thursday, 08 July 2010 12:00PM
The new website is the third in Channel 4's portfolio of lifestyle sites, after 4Food and 4Homes.
The website, channel4.com/4beauty, provides content aimed at getting women to celebrate their bodies and feel confident about their looks.
It also signifies a push to extend Channel 4's online income beyond display advertising.
To bolster revenues, the website offers product review finder and 'Style Me' tools, which allows users to research, rate, review and buy products they feel are right for them.
The 'Style Me' tool was created in conjunction with head stylist Jane Galpin, from the C4 programmes 'How to Look Good Naked' and '10 Years Younger', and enables women to find out which of eight key body shapes they are.
Brands that can be purchased on the 4Beauty site include Chanel, Dove and L'Oreal. The service is managed via an affiliate deal with online retailer Shop Style. Channel 4 get a slice of sales revenue generated from online stores including Asos.com and John Lewis.
4Beauty, according to Channel 4, is a crucial cog in its strategy of consolidating and extending its relationship with a female audience of between 25 and 45 years old.
According to the broadcaster, further commercial partnerships, including smartphone apps and premium content, will follow across the second half of 2010 and 2011, including relaunches of 4Food and 4Homes later this year.

NEW DELHI (AP) — Afghan President Hamid Karzai is meeting with Indian leaders in a bid to woo investment in his war-torn country and boost security before a planned drawdown of NATO troops in 2014.
India has invested more than $2.3 billion in building highways and setting up rural electricity projects in Afghanistan. New Delhi is hoping to gain some influence in the country post-2014.
After arriving in India over the weekend, Karzai was to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh later Monday for talks aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and beefing up security in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan and India will also review a strategic partnership agreement they signed last year.

active installations Vs total downloads
It would be good to know not only the number of downloads but also how many are active still.
If you have seen the google store they show active installations more prominently than total download count - and that actually makes sense considering the amount of trash apps going around in all the phone o/s .

Now WP is the real 3rd platform in the market. My business partners/product managers would like to know our REAL numbers.
Otherwise I have more idea:
- how many people removed the app after an update?
- uninstalls are more or less than 1 week ago?
- sex of users
- age of users
maciej pszczoliński commented
Very great idea! It makes a lot difference that we have either:
a) 1000 downloads, and 950 of them are removed from phone
b) 500 downloads and 100 are removed from phone.
NPadrutt commented
That would be really great

Johnson / Evinrude / OMC 391638 replacement parts
Do you have a fuel pump for a 1992 Johnson 48SPL? Thanking you in advance for your response and assistance.?
This is not the correct fuel pump for your motor. This is the correct fuel pump: http://www.iboats.com/Fuel-Pump-Sierra/dm/view_id.174141
I'm replacing the VRO on my 1986 Johnson 40 hp with a regular fuel pump. Will this one work? I only see two nipples in the pic. Need inlet, outlet and vacuum. Thanks?
This is not the fuel pump that is listed in your HP and year. This is the one that is called for your HP and year: http://www.iboats.com/Fuel-Pump-Sierra/dm/view_id.174141
I have a fast twin 18 horse evinrude motor its an older model with the fiberglass hood but it has no serial numbers on it. but i need a fuel pump. its an mid 60- early 70. both inlet and outlet for gas lines are at 3 oclock postion. do you have one and how much would it cost? if that is enough information?
We do not currently have any fuel pumps or repair kits available for this engine. For more assistance, feel free to post a question on our Forum page: http://forums.iboats.com/
Will this fit a 15hp, 1991 electric start evinrude?
Will this pump work on my 1989 Johnson 70VRO?
No because you have a VRO pump. This is just a regular fuel pump. You will need to contact Johnson for the VRO pump.
Can I use a regular fuel pump on my Johnson 70 V ro and mix the oil myself?
Technically you could probably do that, but we could not recommend a regular fuel pump to go with your engine. We can only cross reference OEM numbers. You will have to contact a local dealer or you can ask the question in our forums which connects you with thousands of other boaters at http://forums.iboats.com
I need the Fuel Pump kit number for Fuel Pump - 18-7352?
Double checking with Sierra they said you will need 18-7800 for sure for the 18-7352 fuel pump.
Will this pump fit my Evinrude 4hp 4636?
No this is not the fuel pump for your engine. We don't offer one. Your OEM number is 388684 though.
Will this fit on my 1975 evinrude 4hp. Model 4w75a?
No this will not fit. We don't offer the fuel pump for your engine. Your OEM number is 388684.
This pump looks identical to the pump on my 1969 9.5 Evinrude. Will it work on it?
No this is not the correct fuel pump and we do not offer the fuel pump. However, your OEM number is 388833.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really liked this game and the sense of mystery around it. The foreboding sense that something was really wrong there stuck with me for the whole experience. 10/10, 5/5.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Well Done
PRIOR is very atmospheric, not only due to the impressive music but the artistic style of the game as well. The alternate endings make it worth the replay. The inner geek gamer in me is crying out for achievements though, e.g. reading all the notes, getting the different endings. An excellent first production, with a bit of scope for a sequel.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Awesome game...
...But, holy hell, is it depressing!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
i really didn't expect that ending. That was a really interesting game. Maybe a little short...
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good and Bad
-3 Alternative endings (I got only THE ONE, but I'm gonna find the other ones soon.)
-damn great plot and way of storytelling
-Simple but fun controls (The Grav-Nul one is pretty unique.)
-Simple but relevant Graphics
-Controls are buggy sometimes (I have to agree with you, Polym) that it took a long time for me to press the button in the room WORLD by jumping 3 platforms on DIVERGE
-Room REPETITION is laggy like hell (Well, at least in my computer)
-The animation after pressing buttons to open doors is laggy too.
OVERALL: This game is epic with its story and how it is told to us newgrounders, ESPECIALLY if you ignore the bugs and lags that made me give this a 9/10 but still 5/5.
P.S. Dragoonblade, you spoiled the story to me, but thanks btw.

The 1984 NIV is great for our entire family. The extra study notes and questions are good for study. My teen and myself both enjoy the helpful notes in the Quest Bible. The questions in the side margins really help to give understanding about what you have read. The Burgundy/Tan duo- tone is very nice looking and durable. The font and print size is easily readable, not too big and not too small. I shopped/looked at/researched many Study Bibles before deciding on this one. I'm very pleased. I highly recommend the Quest Study Bible.

Really looking forward to this evenings play. For me the Premier League of Darts is one of the most exciting spectacles of sport during the year. I wa at the O2 in Dublin this year and it was nothing short of breath taking. Van Gerwin should win but could it go the way of Barney later - Surely the law of large numbers would dictate that he will topple Taylor at some point and it may be 17 times lucky for the Dutchman!

To pay for all the explosions and stunt work, the filmmakers must have decided to skimp on the screenplay. The rule of thumb is that one page of script equals one minute of movie, but there is so little dialogue in Ballistic that it could have been written on a matchbook. show more
