First evaluate your finances and determine how much free spending you can do (this doesn't include paying bills) for the entire month. Then divide it by the number of weeks. This is your "weekly allowance"
At the beginning of each week take out only your weekly allowance. This will be cash you keep in your wallet at all times. This is money to be spent on: movies, eating out, and recreation.
By only taking out a week's allowance you limit your spending and keep your wallet full.
Leave the cards at home, or in the car, or better yet in a block of ice. Now, you should have access to your cards in case of emergencies and for paying rent, utilities, and other bills.
If you end up spending all of your allowance within the first days- oh well. You can only spend that much money per week; however, you can "roll" over your cash to the next week. Let's say you don't spend all of your money for that week, then feel free to save it for the next week and use it then.

Secret K Lover
Once I got out of the shower I made my way to the bed. She took off her lingerie and moved her body over mine. She is so tiny and is tight all over.
She gave me amassage and then grabbed my cock. She then gave me a really good CBJ and after awhile she mounted me on top. Starting soft and slow and then riding me like a horse. I wanted to fuck her from behind so we switched positions and then moved into mish with her feet around my neck. Hard penetration until I busted my nut.

Corporate Security in the Asia-Pacific Region
Crisis, Crime, Fraud, and Misconduct
By Christopher J. Cubbage, CPP, David J. Brooks, PhD
CRC Press – 2012 – 242 pages
CRC Press – 2012 – 242 pages
As corporations and governments become more litigious and risk averse, international risk management becomes more complex. Corporate Security in the Asia-Pacific Region: Crisis, Crime, Fraud, and Misconduct examines real cases of corporate crisis, crime, fraud, and other misconduct that corporate security professionals need to be aware of to effectively protect people, operations, and assets within the region.
Current security threats and risks are addressed to help readers conduct an informed risk assessment and analysis of operational risk. Providing detailed guidance on how to address the unique threats and risks in this dynamic and growing business environment, the book:
This book provides readers with the regional snapshot andgeo-political background needed to understand the cultural differences, challenges, and the state of affairs for any country in the region. Filled with detailed cases of crime, theft of trade secrets, risk factors, and best practices, this book provides the real-world understanding you'll need to conduct better-informed security management that will lead to improved decisions on how to protect your people and assets in the Asia-Pacific region.
" … provides a detailed discussion of the current status of security in the Asia-Pacific region … will prepare both security managers and security practitioners for the many risks and threats that populations and commercial organizations will encounter in international business and foreign affairs. … The authors are to be commended for the structure and analysis of the topics within the book, with comprehensive description and discussion of the need for asset protection and recovery. There is no comparable book on the international market and, as such, it is at the leading edge of advanced security management texts for the serious consideration of asset protection."

The story of Manti Te'o and his girlfriend passing away during the college football season grew into one of those Hallmark moment stories that seemed to get mentioned any time someone with a microphone was talking about the star Notre Dame linebacker and Heisman Trophy runner-up. In easily one of the most insane pieces of sports journalism you'll ever come across, the professional muckrakers at Deadspin are claiming it's all ********. (Needless to say, Deadspin is now blacklisted.) Seriously, it's one of the more jaw-dropping articles I've ever read. Don't miss it. If Deadspin is wrong on this one, woe be unto them. If not... Well, to be a fly on the wall during Te'o's interviews with NFL teams before the upcoming NFL draft.
Just watched the ND AD attempt to spin this tale of on-line duping of their "star".. Baloney. Manti made up stories of how they met...at a ND/Stanford game. His father talked about her visits to Hawaii when Manti was home... all sorts of BS going on here. ND's poster boy is a fraud and ND is too arrogant to even admit it.

Stocks reversed course late Friday, finishing slightly lower as early gains built on better earnings reports from retailers faded away.
Trading was choppy, and the market's swings were exaggerated by light volume ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.
Stocks drifted lower for much of the week. With few economic reports coming out, the market was left with little fuel to sustain a two and a half-month surge that has lifted stocks up more than 30% from 12-year lows in early March.
Next week's economic calendar is much more heavily loaded, with key reports coming on home sales, big-ticket manufactured goods and consumer confidence.
Whether those data please or disappoint the market could be the key to determining what becomes of the spring rally, which many investors believe was overdone.
"Everything is overpriced," said Harry Rady, chief executive and portfolio manager of Rady Asset Management. "A very long, protracted recession is still very much alive."
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 14.81, or 0.2%, to 8,277.32. The S&P 500 index slipped 1.33, or 0.2%, to 887.00, and the Nasdaq composite index lost 3.24, or 0.2%, to 1,692.01.
Despite the market's seesaw movements this week, all the major indicators finished the five-day period in the black. The Dow rose 0.10%; the S&P 500 index rose 0.47%; and the Nasdaq rose 0.71%.
Better-than-expected results from Sears shld, Gap gps and Aeropostale aro temporarily brightened the mood at the end of a week that brought fresh concerns about the market being overextended. Earlier in the week the Federal Reserve raised its estimate of how high unemployment might run and how much the economy could slow before recovering.
The market also was jolted by a warning Thursday from Standard & Poor's that it could downgrade the British government's AAA debt rating, which would increase its borrowing costs. That got some thinking that the United States' own top-shelf rating might also be in jeopardy.
Worries about the U.S. government's credit ratings eased somewhat on Friday, but Treasurys and the dollar both lost ground, with the dollar falling to its weakest level against the euro since January.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit a new high for the year, climbing to 3.46% from 3.37% late Thursday. The 10-year note is a widely used benchmark for home mortgages and other kinds of loans.
Meanwhile, gold prices rose about 1% as investors looked for safety.
"The crisis of deficit financing and deficit spending is moving its way up the food chain," said John Brady, senior vice president of global interest rate products at MF Global in Chicago. Brady said investors are worried about whether the economy will be able to recover if interest rates are higher and the dollar is weaker.
Investors were already concerned about the U.S. government's ability to fund its massive interventions to prop up the U.S. banking system and stimulate the economy, and the downgrade warning unnerved the market further.
Some of the signals this week were encouraging, however. The Federal Reserve said banks reduced borrowing from its emergency loan program over the past week, while investment banks didn't borrow at all — the first time that's happened since early September.

Re: How much bank can a "mafia block" hold back?
However before I even think about this, I need to get my dump wagon built (lots of earth to move if I do this project) and get my new lawn landscaped. SWMBO will not appreciate it if I start another "excavation" before the lawn is done.
Re: How much bank can a "mafia block" hold back?
Gosh Jason, Spring is only six days old and you are behind already. Funny how that happens.
A curve or a vee, either would give more support and better drainage than a straight wall. Maybe the amount of water calls for a wider than normal stone bed behind the wall. You could run two sets of drain pipes, one about 2-3 feet above the other. I would definitely pin geotextile to the exposed dirt bank and leave enough at the top to fold over the top of the stone in the trench."Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end ..."

Re: How much bank can a "mafia block" hold back?
you might consider compacting the fill gravel behind the wall as you go up. as well, every other course lay a geotextile cloth between the blocks and back into the slope to act as a tie back.
Re: How much bank can a "mafia block" hold back?
I am not exactly sure what a "Mafia Block" is, but I have built many retaining walls with both Allen Block, and the large 2'x2'x4' blocks made from leftover concrete and sold by concrete companies, which I think is what you are referring to.
You can build to almost any height if you have a good enough base and if you "batter" the wall. Batter means either leaning the wall back into the slope, or stepping the rows of block back as you go up.
The upward sloping land behind the wall is called a "surcharge" and can be designed around, essentially use more batter.
The engineering design of such a wall is straightforward, and a local engineer can probably produce a design for you for a few hundred$.
This might not be what you want to hear, but I have a neighbor who built exactly the type of wall you are considering. He did it with "by guess and by golly" non-engineering. The wall fell down the first winter. He then paid to have the blocks re-stacked vertical, just like the first time, and the fell down again after that.
I went over to his place after the second failure and told him that he had to batter the wall if he wanted it to last--even calculated the amount of batter he needed. The "good old boy" who ran the crane didn't like the equations I used, and battered the third wall by the seat of his pants, but used a larger backset than I thought he needed. This was OK as it produced a greater safety factor, and the wall has been fine for 6 or 7 years now.
I have no idea what the whole episode cost, but it was a lot more than doing it right in the first place...
P.S. Whatever you do it is vital that you drain behind the wall.40 Acres on a hill - fantastic view. JD 110 TLB, 4-n-1, 12" bucket, 18" bucket, Addington thumb, rock bucket (doubles as root grapple)

Re: How much bank can a "mafia block" hold back?
Mafia blocks are usually cast as 2x2x3 or 2x2x6 ft. The smaller blocks weigh around 1800lbs and the larger around 3600lbs. I dont know that you would necessary need a crane to place them. If you use the smaller blocks and have a decent size tractor, you could probably place them with the fel. Takes a large tractor for the larger blocks. If you lean the back course and backfill as you go up, you can also rise the outside runs on the same slope as you lean the back wall. this would allow for tight corners. It aint like you are going to be making 100ft runs so the slope on the side walls wouldnt be that noticable, unless you also plan on adding a roof at a later point. I am assuming the back wall is the 14ft wide, that is 3 of the 2x2x6 blocks wide and for the height, 4 or 5 high. For the 8ft side walls, you are only 2blocks long. Each end of the back wall will be supported by the side runs with only the center block being able to push out. I think you are over thinking this project, or I am looking at it wrong myself.

Finding the right wordsIn the recent case of Newbury v Sun Microsystems [2013], the defendant argued that an offer to settle proceedings was 'in principle' only and that a binding contract could not be formed until further terms had been agreed and a formal contract had been signed. It supported this argument by referring to a statement, in the offer letter, that the settlement was to be 'recorded in a suitably worded agreement'.

Restoring environmental damage: putting a price on ecosystem servicesOn 7 August 2009 a 40-inch pipeline ruptured, spilling 5,400 cubic metres of crude oil into the soil and groundwater of La Crau nature reserve in southern France, a habitat protected under French and European law. The operator had to excavate and replace 60,000 tons of soil, install 70 wells to pump and treat groundwater and 25 pumps to skim oil from surface water, at a cost in the region of €50m. However, this was just the primary remediation (that is, restoring the site to the state it would have been if the damage had not occurred). The operator was also required to compensate for the damage to the habitats and the loss of the ecosystem services that would otherwise have been provided by La Crau nature reserve. Measures included purchasing land outside of the nature reserve and contributing to its management for a period of 30 years (over €1m), monitoring the water table for 20 years (over €500,000), monitoring fauna over three years (€150,000) and rehabilitation in accordance with best available ecological techniques (nearly €2m). Overall, the compensatory restoration (to compensate for the amount of time that the ecosystem was impacted) and complimentary restoration (to compensate for elements of the ecosystem that had been permanently lost) came to more than €6.5m.
The role of arbitrators in EU antitrust lawIn May 2014, it will be ten years since Regulation No 1/2003 entered into force. When the legislator of the European Union adopted this Regulation on 16 December 2002, its main objective was to decentralise the enforcement of the two main provisions of EU antitrust law, Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (now Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU)). Where do the arbitrators fit in this picture?

In the eight years since Katrina, faculty, students, and alumni from MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP) and School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P) have worked in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast with many organizations and on many issues.
In a talk at MIT organized by DUSP on May 7, 2013, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan called for a new wave of creative urban planning to help cities evolve during a time of economic hardship.
"The role of the urban planner today is more important than it was 25 or 50 or 80 years ago," Donovan said.

At 12 weeks, I had my first ultrasound. My baby's heart rate was 150 bpm. Today, at 16 weeks, I had my second ultrasound. My baby's heart rate was 135 bpm. Unfortunately, he/she decided to cross its legs and we couldn't see that little private area. I'm completely bummed. We go back in two weeks to see if we can see the gender then. Any way, based on heart rates (just for fun), what do you think I'm having? What was your baby's/babies' heart rate at 12 and 16 weeks and what was it?
Thank you!

Horne: Mortgage settlement funds to aid Arizona homeowners
Arizona will be using $57 million from a major mortgage settlement to help struggling homeowners keep their homes, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne said.
"You may have people who bought responsibly and then they experienced economic setbacks that were not their fault and they can still make payments, but they can't make the full payment," he said. "By helping them out, we can keep them in their homes, the mortgage holder is better off. Sometimes getting paid less than the full amount is better than proceeding with a foreclosure."
Horne said $41 million will go directly to help homeowners. The rest of the funds will be used for enforcement, counseling, legal and outreach programs.
Some funds will also be used to support non-profit mortgage assistance groups and veteran housing.
In total, Arizona netted about $3.5 billion. The rest of the money will be administered by banks.

Norwich — A man believed to be the lone occupant of a two-story house at 11 Grove St. received minor burns in a fire Wednesday afternoon that caused major damage and forced evacuation of one neighboring house.
Norwich Fire Battalion Chief Jim Kurasz said the man was treated by a crew from American Ambulance for a minor burn. Once the fire was under control, firefighters wearing breathing tanks searched the house and found no other occupants, Kurasz said.
He said crews would make a second search after dousing hot spots and opening walls where fire still burned.
Flames blew out windows and shot through the flat roof of the odd-shaped structure at the triangular junction of Grove Street and Grove Place shortly after 3 p.m. Firefighters used chain saws and crowbars to rip open roofing material to get at flames beneath. Thick black smoke billowed as fire hoses hit the flames.
The bottom story has a stucco façade, while the upper story was wood shingled. As the fire burned behind the outside wall, the wooden siding smoldered and caught fire in spots. Kurasz directed fire crews to attack the flames behind the walls.
Neighbor Angel Fernandez, 14, said he and his mother live three houses up Grove Street from the fire.
"We saw a little smoke coming out, and then the windows blew out with fire," Fernandez said. "There was glass everywhere."
As they prepared to call 911, they heard the sirens approaching.
Firefighters evacuated 11 occupants from the house next door at 5 Grove St. when the wind shifted and officials feared it could catch fire, resident Tammy Lake said. She said she looked out the window and saw the "whole house on fire." She said debris was "raining down on us."
Scott Spahr was at his mother's house on nearby Boswell Avenue when he saw the smoke and worried that it could be his brother's house — 5 Grove St. — and raced to the scene.
Tax records list the address of the damaged house as 11 Grove St., although one door had No. 9 on the outside. The 1920 two-family house is owned by M&K Management LLC of Guilford.

Research Interests
Immunoregulation, Tolerance and Autoimmunity
My laboratory studies the mechanisms governing the development and maintenance of immunoregulation and self-tolerance in health and disease. Our focus is on T cells and antigen presenting cells and the role these cells play in pathogenesis, immunoregulation and tolerance in the context of autoimmune disease, including (but not limited to) type 1 diabetes (T1D) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We use several mouse models of disease in our studies, including the NOD and (NZBxNZW)F1 mouse strains which spontaneously develop T1D and SLE, respectively. We have also studied and maintain an interest in other autoimmune diseases including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE; a model for human multiple sclerosis), inflammatory bowel diseases (particularly Crohn's disease), autoimmune gastritis (a model for human pernicious anemia), ocular immunity/tolerance, and autoimmune ovarian dysgenesis. We have a long-standing interest in the biology of an important subset of CD4 cells, the CD4 regulatory cells (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+), that is critical for the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and control of potentially autoreactive T cells. Maintaining the proper balance between fully functional regulatory CD4 cells and non-regulatory (effector) T cells is extremely important in the maintenance of an effective well-controlled immune system that protects against infectious pathogens but does not inflict damage on the host.
Mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the regulatory CD4 cell:effector T cell balance. The thymus is the primary site for both regulatory and effector T cell development. However, we and others have found previously that conversion of non-regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25-cells) into regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) can occur spontaneously in the periphery in the absence of the thymus. Thymic production and output, peripheral expansion (proliferation), and survival/death of regulatory and non-regulatory CD4 cells, and conversion of non-regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25-cells) into regulatory T cells can all have a significant impact on the peripheral regulatory CD4 cell:effector T cell balance, and subsequently to susceptibility to autoimmune disease, cancer and infectious diseases. We are interested in understanding how each of these components contributes to the development and maintenance of the peripheral regulatory CD4 cell:effector T cell balance, and how each is regulated in both normal healthy and autoimmune-prone strains of mice at the systemic and/or local (i.e., draining lymph node, target organ) levels.
Sex-based differences in immunoregulation and tolerance. Females have a significantly higher incidence of autoimmune diseases than males. The reason(s) for this disparity in susceptibility is poorly understood. However, sex hormones have a significant impact on the immune system, and consequently, the types and quantity of sex hormones that are differentially produced by females and males almost definitely contribute to the differing susceptibility of the sexes to autoimmune disease. In ongoing studies in our laboratory, we are examining the effect that gender and sex hormones have on T cell (both regulatory and non-regulatory, effector) development and function in normal and autoimmune-prone mice. We are particularly interested in understanding the relationship between sex hormones and T cells in SLE, a disease in which the bias is 9:1 in "favor" of females in humans (i.e., 9 females develop disease for every 1 male).
Modulation of immunoregulation and tolerance to prevent/treat autoimmune disease, cancer and infectious diseases. We are interested in utilizing our knowledge of immunoregulation and tolerance to develop specific therapeutic strategies that can eventually be used in the clinic to treat human disease. We are examining the efficacy of using antigen presenting cells (APC) that have been rendered tolerogenic by treatment with "immunosuppressive" cytokines or genetic engineering as therapeutic modalities to treat autoimmune disease in our animal models. Interestingly, the same natural mechanisms (i.e., immunoregulation and tolerance) that keep pathogenic autoreactive T cells in check can also hamper the development of an effective immune response against tumors and infectious organisms. For this reason, we plan to explore experimental approaches that will allow us to selectively target and modify the immunoregulatory and/or tolerance-mediating mechanisms that impair the development/maintenance of effective immunity against tumors or infectious organisms. The goal of the latter studies is to discover strategies that can be used in conjunction with immunotherapies to enhance their efficacy in preventing/treating cancer or infectious diseases.

John Stuart Mill was born in London in 1806 and died in Avignon in 1873. He is generally considered to have been the most important British philosopher of the nineteenth century. His powerful defences of empiricist, liberal and utilitarian positions were hugely influential during his lifetime, and set the terms for most subsequent debate. Mill's advocacy of radical causes (including, most notably, the extension of the parliamentary franchise to women) made him, by his death, a household name even amongst people who had never read his books. Although Mill's reputation suffered a temporary eclipse around the turn of the twentieth century, he currently stands high in the ranks of the British empiricists for his writings on …

- Take off Review by Sabyx5
To successfully take off with any P-51, the plane must taxi straight
without compensation from the tail wheel. Thus, the wheels must all be
Since you've successfully set the rudder for flight, adjust the tail wheel
to be straight without changing the rudder trim (visually, the tail wheel
should simply look like it is centered and "should" roll straight).
Next, adjust the position of the main gear wires/wheels so that both axles
are straight or have toe-in of 1 degree each. This can be achieved by
holding the main gear wire at the "bend" with one set of pliers while
adjusting the axle portion of the gear wire until it is straight, or by
removing the gear and the wire from the retract mechanism and adjusting
the flat spot until it is straight.
Just like aligning a car, the axles/wheels must be aligned.
Once it will taxi straight, then it should take-off ok. During the
take-off roll, the plane will require right rudder input to keep the plane
from pulling to the left due to the torque of the 4-blade propeller. To
"cheat", you might consider adding 1-2 clicks of right trim on the rudder
before take-off.

27/06/2012 - Pandering to the "Gleeks"
By nutta27 1 Comments
My last week at work this week, after Friday I have 17 full days off. I really can't fucking wait. Also on the 9th I go to Tenerife for a week with my girlfriend. Its gunna be amazing 4* hotel, all inclusive, nice weather. Bring it on. Anyway this isn't about what I will be doing this shambles of a blog is what I have done in the past week.
What Have I Been Watching?
Me and my girlfriend got chance to go to the cinema on Sunday, we decided to watch Rock of Ages. For those of you that do not know the film is a musical set in the late 80's around a rock and roll bar called the Bourbon Room. In the film you follow the lives of multiple people and see how the club and the music affects their lives. The cast in this film is amazing, Alec Baldwin, Tom Cruise and Russell Brand to name a few of the stars. Overall I loved the film and not even Brand's piss poor Brummy accent could spoil the movie. I love Russell Brand, I think he is a comedy Legend but I have to say I am starting to wish he would try something a little different. By that I mean that I wish he would play a different role, not just a cheeky chappy englishman. I know that is how he is naturally but it would be nice to see him stretch as an actor and play a totally different part to that he is used too. The film was great though. really good camp acting (it is a musical after all) and I was surprised how great singers all the cast were. Especially Tom Cruise, his rock voice is amazing. I'm not really a cruise fan but is there nothing this man can not do. My only criticism would be that the film (to me) seems to be pandering to the "Gleeks". The big finale was the terrible Journey song that Glee made famous and to me it seemed to be set up exactly the same as the Glee version (female and male lead parts blah blah blah).
What Have I Been Playing?
I have finally finished Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. This game took me way too long to complete. Especially taking into account that when I first got the game I couldn't get enough of it. It seemed like such a great tactical shooter, a game where you really needed to think about your moves and not just run and gun. 3 levels in though the game started to become really boring. Nothing really mixing up the missions. A basic stealth section that sometimes just seems like trial and error and then an all out firefight to the extraction point. That is the same for every fucking mission. The only time the game even slightly mixes it up is the second to last mission and all they do is take your fucking teammates away. So its just you following the bull shit outlined above. The gameplay is really tedious and the story is really bloody boring. I don't actually think I could recall the story I was that bored. Erm something to do with a group of russian arms dealers and oh hell I don't know or give two shits to be honest. The game looks terrible too and it seems to be on purpose. They have put some sort of interference on top of the image for some reason. I dunno, probably to give the gamer a sense of technological advancement but it just makes everything look shite. I hated this game so much. I could only bring myself to play 1 level for each gaming session. The game was just no fun at all.
Now that Ghost Recon is done I can finally start Max Payne 3. I actually started this yesterday and played through 7 chapters in 1 sitting. Not many games can actually get me sat down and paying attention for 3 hours straight now a days. This game is so refreshing after Ghost Recon. It looks beautiful on the PC running everything on the highest setting. Probably the best game I have seen. I love everything about this game. The darkness of the character and the bleakness of the world and its environments. Max's narration really adds to this too. The game however seems really hard (playing with free aim) but it seems to be checkpointed really well. Thank fuck because that can be really frustrating. I can't praise this game anymore, this game is up there with the Darkness 2 so far this year as my favourite game.
The only other game I have been able to put any time into is Forza 4. I got back into this game thanks to Littleg and his upcoming Friday Night Forza Gamenight. I haven't really participated in any races, I have mainly been playing around with a car to get it up the scratch (along with Littleg's guidelines). I chose a Civic Type R and have so far put 2 or 3 hours into tweaking it and making it look good (in my eyes anyway). I can't wait to test the car out properly on Friday, its a real shame that I suck ass at Forza.
So is that it?
Yepp that has been my week. I will hopefully have allot more to talk about in the next one of these (after my 1st week off) because I have allot of stuff planned. Me and my girlfriend are set to go to a zoo and to a theme park as well as going to watch the new Spiderman film in iMax 3d. Then the week after that I will be sunning it up in Tenerife. I can not wait.
