Leaving the legendary Copacabana behind us, we'll proceed along Avenida Atlantica and, passing the point, we'll reach Ipanema. Take all the photos you want: you're in Rio, the world's most beautiful city.
To your right is the elegant neighborhood that is the birthplace of the Bossa Nova.
To your left is the beach or, better yet, "a praia" that separates the ocean from the lagoon.
Seeing the magnificent stretch of sand, tanned bodies, and colors and hearing the music, you'll want to dance.
If you want to try the green coconut water, there's a typical chiringuito right over there.
When you're in this part of Rio, it feels as if you're in a thousand different places at the same time. Styles, languages, and fragrances blend. It's a little bit of Portofino and a touch of the Cyclades: a never-ending journey with a chic and sporty, classic and military look. It's like wearing a shirt and tie underneath a wetsuit, alternating neoprene and cotton satin, or playing with surreal photo prints that give objects a virtual three dimensionality.
Certain things you can only see here, and it's not only the panorama: it's the energy that envelops this beach and makes it very special.
Tomorrow, we'll meet in the airport. When you hear the notes of "Garota de Ipanema" and smell the scent of exotic fruits, don't worry if you feel a strange sensation of serene nostalgia coursing throughout your body: it's called saudade, a longing to return.

Bubby, what are those numbers on your arm?

why those numbers?on your arm?
Sorry, I would rather think on G-d giving me "life" and not to remember and hold hatred on those who tattooed them on our arms. G-d allowed it...remember He is the Controller? If Jerusalem is not my chief joy.......what was I doing in Poland? foreign land? Father Abraham paid a great price for our land , King David and others ...for the beautiful land of Israel. Shalom....Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Love you.

Yes. We must remember. But in what context?
They want to eliminate us. In every generation. Living as a Jew is;t just about remembering the hate. We must fulfill our mission whether we or they like it or not. Learning about our mission from Gd via the Torah He granted us infuses our lives with meaning and inspiration: to identify, to contnue, to overcome. In this context, remembering the hate and remembering what they lived and died for, suddenly becomes very very meaningful

Did you know that most maltodextrin is manufactured from corn? Most processed corn products manufactured in the United States contain genetically modified corn (GMO's). Now we have an alternative, certified organic maltodextrin manufactured in Austria. Because there is no labeling requirement in the US for products containing GMO's, the only guarantee you have that a product is GMO free is if it is certified organic. Current National organic standards prohibit the use of ingredients that contain GMO's.
Certified organic and GMO Free (genetically modified organism) maltodextrin is used in beer brewing as well as the food industry. Maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes are used to break the starch into smaller polymers (a process similar to that used by the body to digest carbohydrate). Maltodextrin does not contain a significant amount of protein, fat, or fiber. In brewing it is used to add body, or creaminess to beer without adding flavor, color, sweetness, or added alcohol (maltodextrin is approximately 12% fermentable). In a typical 5 gallon batch use from 4 to 16 ounces added to the boil.
This product is also widely used in energy drinks and energy bars. Per 100g the maltodextrin we sell has an average of 360 kcal, 90g of carbohydrate, 0g fat and 0g protein. If you require further analytical data specific to the batch you are purchasing and organic certificates, we can provide these with orders under 55 lbs for a $5 documentation fee. This fee is waived for orders over 55 lbs. You can add the documents to your order by ordering the documentation as a separate item in this category or by requesting them when ordering by telephone.

Quantum mechanics is usually associated with weird and counterintuitive phenomena we can't observe in real life. But it turns out that quantum processes can occur in living organisms, too, and with very concrete consequences. Some species of birds, for example, use quantum mechanics to navigate. Last year we talked to physicists Simon Benjamin and Erik Gauger, and found out that studying these little creatures' quantum compass may help us achieve the holy grail of computer science: building a quantum computer.

Auditors back expansion of home rule
CHARLESTON -- Legislative auditors have concluded that a program that gives a select few West Virginia cities, including Huntington, broader governmental powers has proved beneficial enough to expand statewide.
State lawmakers and city officials, however, say that limited expansion of the program is more likely.
The auditors presented their findings on the municipal home rule pilot program Tuesday to a pair of House-Senate oversight committees during legislative interim meetings in Charleston.
Adopted in 2007, the five-year pilot program allowed four cities -- Huntington, Charleston, Wheeling and Bridegport -- to experiment with increased authority as long as the changes did not violate the U.S. or state constitutions, federal law or state laws pertaining to criminal penalties and controlled substances.
The legislative audit conducted by the Performance Evaluation and Research Division says the program has helped the participating cities by increasing revenue, streamlining administrative matters and the business licensing process, and strengthening fee collections. As a result, the audit recommends that the Legislature give the same broad-based authority to all cities with more than 2,000 residents under the same limits as the home rule pilot program.
"The program has also proven beneficial to the entire state, as several proposals were either implemented into state law or resulted in the modification of state regulations," according to the report.
The four cities brought forth 25 proposals under the pilot program, 20 of which were either fully or partially implemented by city ordinance. Eight of those proposals have since been approved by the Legislature and enacted statewide.
Huntington submitted four home rule proposals, three of which have been fully or partially implemented on the local level. They include:
A provision that allows the city to capture fire insurance claim proceeds to cover the costs of demolishing fire-damaged structures. As a result of the provision, which was later implemented statewide, Huntington has saved $165,000 in demolition costs and retained almost $250,000 in property value.
The authority to issue liens for delinquent city fees. Charleston and Wheeling sought similar proposals. Huntington filed 422 statutory liens in 2011 and has sent out 2,290 lien notices this year, according to the audit. The statutory liens yielded more than $100,000 in fee collections, while collections at sale closings netted $305,000 and mailings sent between August 2010 and July 2011 generated $400,000.
Implementing a local 1 percent sales tax in exchange for eliminating the B&O tax on manufacturing and reducing it by half for service- and retail-based businesses. The sales tax generated $2.225 million during the first 10 months of this year, while the B&O tax reductions saved Huntington businesses $2.085 million between January and June, according to the audit.
Huntington also used the home rule pilot program to adopt an ordinance that authorized a 1 percent occupation tax and the repeal of its $3-a-week user fee. Several parties challenged the occupation tax in Kanawha Circuit Court, however, before it could take effect. The lawsuit, originally filed in June 2011, is still pending.
The joint Committee on Government Organization plans to discuss a bill for the coming 2013 legislative session that would act on the audit's recommendations. But Sen. Evan Jenkins urged caution during Tuesday's meeting. The Cabell County Democrat, whose district includes Huntington, said lawmakers should ensure that cities don't prompt more lawsuits or otherwise go overboard if granted new powers.
"We must at this point in time, address those issues and provide clarity to statute, if possible, so we don't create the potential of a municipality going beyond wherever that line is drawn," Jenkins said.
Despite the audit's recommendation that home rule should be expanded statewide, Delegate Jim Morgan, D-Cabell, predicts the Legislature will take a scaled-back approach.
"From conversations I have had with folks who are interested, I would expect that legislation would attempt to continue the home rule pilot program for the existing cities and open it up to four or five more cities," said Morgan, who is chairman of the House Government Organization Committee. "There also could be additional restrictions imposed on things such as taxation."
Huntington Mayor-Elect Steve Williams, who attended Tuesday's meeting, said he will advocate a similar proposal when the 2013 session begins in February.
"We're real encouraged by the auditor's recommendations, and if there's one message to take from all of this, it's that all of the cities have been able to reduce costs and operate more efficiently," Williams said. "I think the reality, though, is that expanding home rule statewide doesn't have an ounce of passing. It's a more realistic approach to let the existing cities continue to be part of the pilot program and allow four more cities to participate."

Blocker Academy, Snake Blocker?
Alright guys,
Here's one that more able minds and connected bodies can work over. I used to personally train at this guys studio in Rancho Palos Verdes when I was 16-17. I recently set about tracking down the history of my various teachers, and this guys info rang all sorts of bells. When I was a kid, I didn't bother checking out any website, I just wanted some training on JKD and kickboxing.
Here's the URL for his main site: http://www.blockeracademy.com
At the time I was there, he was teaching escrima, JKD, kickboxing, knifeplay.
Thanks much.

We are already working on that tangled web. It's really complicated.And lo, Kano looked down upon the field and saw the multitudes. Amongst them were the disciples of Uesheba who were greatly vexed at his sayings. And Kano spake: "Do not be concerned with the mote in thy neighbor's eye, when verily thou hast a massive stick in thine ass".

Overall, I'm happy.. He at least had some ring experience (even if he lost), so I didn't quite waste my time there. Good luck though in the search for the truth!
Oh and this might help: Snake Blocker has also fought under the names of Jason Blocker, David Blocker, Kicking Dog, David Broker, Hummingbird, Mamba, and Snake Broker

I heard about David "Snake" Blocker when I did a Google search for pictures of the port where my reserve unit was deployed. Once I read his bio, I contacted his chain of command in his reserve unit. Mr. Blocker is a U.S. Navy reserve Storekeeper - the guy you go to to get gear issued or order stuff. He is not, contrary to his claims, a "Special Forces Drill Instructor" or "Military CQC Instructor". I also contacted him, and his "explainations" of who authorized him to claim the titles he does are the worst sort of legalistic, hair-splitting double-talk imagineable. "Snake" Blocker MAY be a martial artist with some ring experience - but having your picture taken in your uniform swinging around a 4' broadsword in a rear-area camp in Kuwait is nothing to brag about. Neither is claiming to have "trained with" Special Operations forces - almost everyone in the military in the last 7 years can gin up that claim. The guy is a fraud. I've e-mailed him to that effect, and if I am ever unlucky enough to run into him in person, i'll say it to his face.

If you just hold onto this thread for a while it will fit into the rest of the "web" that scrapper describes. Since you are not a supporting member, you don't have access to some of the other threads. But it basically comes down to credential swapping between him and a bunch of other people. Including some people who are selling credentials.
So in a nut shell, he has had some kickboxing experience, which makes him one of the few in the "web" who have verifiable training. However, the rest of the stuff he claims is pure bull ****.
So don't waist your time. Or better yet, waist your time but do a thorough job of it and document every step of the way.

Hey guys.
I just spent the last week and a half with Snake getting him certified MACP Lvl 1 at Bagram. (course is normally a week but is split into two weeks due to work schedules) I knew nothing about him until that class and was introduced to him. I googled him and it led me here. I've only browsed his site and talked with him a bit in class. I don't have much but I can at least say that he does due what a lot of MA instructors connected to the Military do and that is claim to be a "Military [insert system] instructor" Technically he is telling the truth. He does teach MA, mainly kickboxing, on the SF camp/compound during the week and has trained with a mix of troops that get together by Blackjack gym on the weekends. As far as skill level goes I have haven't seen his whole repertoire but he has kickboxing skill and was one of the better students in the class because he was physically fight. Grappling wise he around a intermediate BJJ white belt level. I will be working more with him when I go back to BAF next month.______

A lot of what I read about for TES:O has to do with the "MMO-ifying" of The Elder Scrolls single player games. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the single player "features" (there is plenty of room to add features NOT in TES single player games) and see if they would "fit" in an MMO setting.
Character Creation
Character Advancement
General Gameplay
Would any of these "features" ruin an MMO?
Tweaking on the existing systems would certainly need to be done, and maybe some of the above just would not work with "massive" amounts of players in the game. Overall, though, I just don't buy that "This is an MMO!" response.
ZOS has here an IP that can break many MMO stereotypes. I see them skulking back to the "familiar and known" comfort zone, though.

None of that list is bad but like any project as big as an MMO you need to pick what your plan is and chuck out what does not fit and side board items you want but dont have time to fit or can afford post launch. I would add player housing to that list of what I want but its another great feature I dont think we will see for a few years =-)
=-D Only on a forum can optimism be called the bad thing and pessimism is the good thing =-D
Damn... wrong thread. I thought this was finally a thread where we pretended ESO is not based on anything at all and we look at it's faults and virtues purely based on the MMOie things they're doing.
MMOs with no previous IP to comply with have it so easy! We can like them or dislike them purely based on their own merits,
You think this forum might be ready for that thread yet?
lol Maybe ;)
It sure is easier to see a game solely for what has when there is no "IP expectations" involved. Sequels suffer from this, too.

While there is some logic to this, you also have to look at it this way...
The reason why they made this MMO an Elder Scrolls MMO is because they wanted to make money by attracting the interest of those who were already fans of TES games.
In other words, there are plenty of people who would not even be here if they didn't like TES games. They are here because this is a game based off the Elder Scrolls universe, and therefore it's to be expected that they will assume that this game will have something in common with at least one of the previous Elder Scrolls games.
This isn't exclusive to just MMOs. If, for example, you named a game "The Elder Scrolls: Atlantis" and then made the entire game a sing-along childrens' game based off of Disney's The Little Mermaid, people are going to say, "What the hell, this doesn't have anything in common with an Elder Scrolls game." Naturally if it's in the same game series, they will compare it with the previous games, unless said previous games are so old the crowd entering the new game in the series don't remember the old ones. One actual series that comes to mind is Fallout. I realize a lot people who played Fallout 3 have no idea what the old Fallout games are. If you just look at Fallout 3 on its own merits, it's a great game, but if you were actually a fan of the games that made the series popular, you're going to look at it and say "wtf, this is nothing like the previous Fallout games"
Ultimately, by using the name of a popular series, it's to be expected fans will want you to deliver some of the factors that made them actually like and buy into the series to make it popular enough to merit making an MMO out of, rather than just slapping its name onto an MMO.
Personally, I'm just going to wait and see what it's like, but I can understand both sides of this argument.

I kind of agree with you here, if they're going to use the Elder Scrolls name to sell the product then they are subject to previous games in the series. That's why I think they should've created a new IP and then add the tagline "From the creator's of the Elder Scrolls" ~ BOOM, no stipulations and we could be cheering Mr. Frior for trying to make a neat little 3 faction realm MMO-thingy.

Actually TES is not funding it. Zenimax Media is. And it's not from the creators of DAoC, it's from the company that owns the TES IP.
Zenimax Media, the parent compant of Bethesda (TES), id Software (Doom), Arkane Studios (Dishonored), and several other studios, created Zenimax Studios for the sole purpose of developing ESO...it's the one studio that shares the parent company's name...there's a clue in there somewhere.
They hired exactly who they wanted to hire--and if they hired Matt Firor for it and then, as some suppose, that Evil Matt ran off in his own direction and perverted the Betehsda franchise, Zenimax Media would have to be the most naive and downright ignorant company in existence. One that despite 6 years of paying the development bills, had no clue what Matt was doing.
Alternatively, they knew exactly what they wanted to do with a TES MMO and hired the right guy to do it for them.
The IP is not in the public domain for individual TES fans to interpret it and expand on it in one of 10,000,000 ways. The owners decided how they wanted to do it. You can like it or not...buy it or not... play it a little or play it a lot... that's the choice you, the consumer, gets to make.

...and what's all these extra words for, did you miss me or something? I thought we was beyond this fickle stuff. We have no idea what went on behind the doors at Zenimax, as far as we know Matt Firor was their 2nd or 3rd choice.
That last paragraph it sounds like you're telling me that I'm not allowed to have an opinion on ESO because I don't own the rights to the IP (am I understanding this correctly?). You should know me better than that Isy, critiquing someone's opinion is about as productive as cleaning sand off a beach.
It's cool if you, Matt Firor and everyone else at Zenimax doesn't agree with me but it's still my opinion.

The game is being made as it is... play it or don't: no one is forcing you to do anything.
The only thing worth discussing is how this MMO plays as an MMO. The pointless part is the "This is like TES/No it isn't" constant blather.

I can agree with the sentiments of the last statement here. It's now pointless to bicker on whether Zenimax is doing the TES series justice. What we should be doing is discussing the features that have been presented to us and attempt to find value on the game based on the merits of the game itself, and not the IP it represents.
People are always hesitant to change, and like to do things the way "they've always been done". However, if we just kept doing the same thing we always have, there would never be any changes or innovations. I am a long time fan of TES, I love each iteration of the game, and there are plenty of things I find frustrating over each iteration of the game as well. However, I am also not one to completely disregard an upcomming game because it didn't match what I felt might be a good idea for a TES mmo. I will take the information presented from ZO and see if it seems like a game I would want to play. If it is, then great, if not, oh well.
You are either going to like the game, or you won't. You may not like the direction the game is going in mmo form, and everyone has a right to their opinion. People just seem to forget what they might find "dumb" or "boring" others will find "fun" and "exciting". These bickering threads have no value other than to create harsh feelings among those within the community.

In a way, you're right. However, when a company dons the name of a familiar IP, they have bought into the social contract of player's expectations. You can't start something with a history of features, and then abandon it. If you can't meet those expectations, save your investors the money and don't make the game. The market is merciless (as it should be) and companies can't blindly create these games and ignore the culture of the IP.

I understand what you're saying but I see many things that they are doing that are exactly trying to make this MMO feel very close to the TES single player games. The artistic style is very similar, the open-ended character development is very TES-like. But at the same time they are using many features that are based on trying to meet MMO player's expectations of what is familiar in MMOs.
It resembles TES but it also resembles many MMOs that have nothing to do with TES. Player expectations of what a TES MMO should be like are as varied as MMO players' opinions of what MMOs should be like. Developers have to choose some features and not others and not everyone will like their choices.
Look at some of the threads here about segregating PvP and PvE vs. open world PvP everywhere. Some of the arguments there are made based on what is more TES-like. But what is really being discussed in those threads is just the same subject that gets discussed in the Pub here daily: some like open world PvP and others don't. Making an argument based on which is more TES is just a debating tactIc to try to enhance the credibility of one set of preferences over the other.
I'm just a realist. It's being done this way and I like most of what they're doing. I just wish they hurry up 'cause I can't wait to play it.

Zenimax made a rod against which to be measured, and for their own back - by cashing in on the previous success of the IP.
Whether one is critical or complementary about this MMO, one cannot reasonably ignore the massive influence and top to bottom inclusion of the IP.
Agreed again - MMO's without IP do have it easier in development - they can take the strengths and weaknesses of the MMO genre and build a world to suit those specifically. But then of course you have to hard-sell because there is no player familiarity to do it for you. Build up a head of steam though and maybe you will succeed against the goalposts you set yourself.
Take an IP and you have to fit the MMO template over it - with the inevitable consequences of round pegs forced in square holes - and that's if you don't deliberately round of more of the pegs with less than compatible design decisions. But then of course the potential benefit comes in the 'pre-assured' playerbase. In this case - the head of steam builds up for you, but you have to be seen to succeed against a preconceived set of goalposts.
On your last point, is this forum ready for what would amount to a thread which misses a central and overiding element of what is being debated?
... the answer is self-evident I think - it happens on here all the time...

As the only construct in the universe (as yet encountered) so complex it can make active decisions, one should never consider a brain, or what it produces as always insignificant.
You are of course free to consider your own opinions as that small, but projecting that onto all others is bound, eventually, to be wrong.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 38 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LadyMantis Excellent! I have been searching and searching for a slip with which to layer!!! So far all of the fp slips either made me look bigger (or like maternity wear) because of extra fabric, or were too textured to wear stuff over them. This slip surprised me. Despite the fact that it is an empire waist, it does NOT have the maternity look, but rather falls just right to be flattering. I actually have two of these slips as of tonight (I went back for the salmon one and I plan to go back for the navy one as soon as I can afford it) and for my first one (ivory), I took other people's advice and sized up because of my chest (reference, I'm 5'3", 26 waist, 32DDD) and the fit was wonderful. However, when I went into Free People tonight, I completely forgot about sizing up and got the salmon one in a small, my usual size and it fit nearly identically with perhaps a slightly tighter bust (the material in the bust is stretchy anyway) and perhaps just a little less space underneath. I was surprised to see that the length of the garment was nearly identical if not completely identical. This could be because I am petite, however, so the length of stuff tends to be different on me than other people but that doesn't explain how two hemlines, different sizes, are pretty much the same. Honestly, I would advise going into a Free People if you can and trying these on because if my suspicions are correct, the variation of the sizes is wonky. Another thing you need to keep in mind though. When I bought my first slip, one of the straps broke. I took it in and just exchanged it for another one because I love this slip so much. The girl behind the counter told me that she had had a few people come in with the same problem. In other words, BE CAREFUL WITH THE STRAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY DELICATE!!! But don't let that deter you!!! This is an awesome slip and you should get it or it will be gone soon, so don't miss it! 3.31.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by fiiimac Weird Length What an awkward length. I love the soft fabric, color (champagne) and fit of this slip, but the length is more like a tunic than a dress, and it is so unfortunate. I am not a tall girl (5"5, 125 lbs) and in my usual size (xs), length is never an issue for me. But I would have had to wear this with a skirt or bloomers or shorts or pants... or another slip. I was hoping this would be the ultimate piece to layer under some of my sheerer pieces, but it just doesn't work. Sad me. 3.21.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mixsi_joann Love this dress!!! I gave this 4 stars because it does SHRINK! I bought the navy in a medium a few months ago and it totally shrank a size down. Thankfully, I'm short (5'3) so it doesn't look too bad. The top of the dress fits me snug now but it's not bad (34C). I just purchased the apricot in a large so it stank down to a medium. I still love this dress, it's very soft and super cute. Very unique, I get lots of compliments when I wear it (in both navy and apricot). This dress is also very see through. 5.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NeefromCanada Worth every penny Love this top - wore it constantly this summer. While most babydoll-style tops make bustier women look pregnant (for reference, I'm 34F), this one is really flattering, even sliming. I've got it it navy and the colour is deep and rich. 11.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chelseaa Beautiful! This is such a fun slip! It's really light weight and perfect for summer. The wave hem makes the fabric flow away from the body beautifully. I tried on the red color in xs and it was long enough to be a short dress on me (5'2, 100lb). The only reason I didn't get it was because it is very sheer and I would have had to buy another slip to go underneath it. 4.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by katieh Adoreable! I bought this in the coral color in a large and I LOVE it! The fit is very TTS and the straps are fully removable AND adjustable. The smocking is really comfy and has a nice amount of give to it,. As for the color, the studio pictures are pretty dead on for all of the choices. The length hit around mid-thigh at 5'9". This is very flattering and does not give you the "maternity" look because the fabric is slightly sheer. This piece is soft, beautiful, versatile, and easy. This would be the most adorable beach cover-up too! 3.12.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by blackw1dow Wish the top was V-necked or Boatnecked or.. I am honestly not sure why FP continues to create boring necklines like this and create the illusion of a v-neck with a necklace. The only noteworthy thing is the hem-line , which is arguably not even one of their best ,I prefer the FP confetti dress for a more romantic or sophisticated look..Also why is the model wearing an awkward pair of spider-webby shorts underneath? you can find this 'slip' anywhere if you look around, its definitely not special, i did not get any compliments by the even the store girls and thus refused to purchase. 3.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by daniilindz Cutest Thing I Own !! I received endless compliments the first time I wore this slip; It's a really flattering cut and perfect little dress. I'm 5'8" and I always buy XS in slips, but I sized up and got the Medium for an appropriate length. Fits like a dream!! I feel like a fairy princess! 11.7.2013

The Voss sweater is a relatively new pattern in knitting, but has been around for centuries in embroidery. This design is geometrical and often includes squares with a pattern inside.
The pieces in knit nordic that are derived from the Voss design are a toilet roll cover, potholders, a snood, a cushion cover and an iphone cover.
The techniques section in the back of the book, highlights many needs of a knitter. Especially one getting started with nordic knitting and is a great reference to have on file.
If interested in winning a copy of knit nordic, please leave a comment before Wednesday the 26th, 9am EST. I'll have the random number generator choose a name.
Happy Sunday!

I have been trying, with no success, to find some information on studies of women and their babies years after having toxemia. I realize that toxemia and preeclampsia are only present during the pregancy, but I've been told by my family doctor and my ob/gyn that the symptoms of these diseases can be genetic markers for future blood preasure, edema and kidney problems.
I am now 51 and have been dealing with pre-menopause for six or seven years. The only time in my life that I had high blood pressure was when I had toxemia 32 years ago. I am now on the strongest dose of Diovan on the market, along with a beta blocker, thyroid pills, and two different fluid medications! Every one of these symptoms appeared during pre-menopause and are evidently in some way related to the fact that I had toxemia. My son (the baby from that pregancy) also has a list of similar health issues, that just developed in his adult life.
Any guidence on this genetic marker theory, as well as any links to studies of the long-term effects would be appreciated.

CRESTVIEW — The City Council's unanimous action on Monday moved Crestview closer to complying with a recommendation to integrate all city services into a comprehensive computer system.
This comes more than a year and a half after a Utilities Billing Department forensic audit.
Former City Clerk Janice Young's investigation of billing discrepancies evolved into a forensic audit after her July 2011 retirement. Then-acting city clerk and Finance Director Patti Beebe ordered the audit, which O'Sullivan Creel consultants conducted with the council's direction.
The audit found discrepancies between departments within the city clerk's office and, during subsequent investigation, between other city departments.
Monday, the council, Beebe and Roy recommended amending the city's contract with SunGard Public Sector, provider of the city's records and billing computer system. This was in accord with O'Sullivan Creel's recommendation to integrate all the city's revenue stream systems into SunGard.
An advantage of upgrading the city's SunGard system, which will incur a one-time set-up and $27,000 implementation cost, involves two off-site backup systems, in different locations, if there were loss of City Hall facilities, Roy said.
"This brings us into compliance with the continuity of operations (plan) and what the council has already asked in forensic audits, and it brings us into a situation where if the system blows up, we won't lose anything," she said.
The city's operations continuity plan ensures residents can access most city services amid disasters and that city records can be preserved.
"If this building was hit by a tornado tomorrow, it would cost a lot more than $27,000 to replace all of our information," Roy said.
In addition to updating and maintaining software for utilities billing, business tax receipts and asset management, the proposal would add the Code Enforcement and Permitting departments to the system. Planning and Zoning, Public Works and Parks and Recreation have not been integrated into SunGard.
Public Works Director Wayne Steele said a firewall prevented the city's technology consultant from bringing his department — including Parks and Recreation — into SunGard. A firewall digitally shields a computer from malicious attacks; in this case, it prohibited Steele's departments' systems from communicating with SunGard.
City Planner Eric Davis said his department uses a system called Blueprints, which it chose after analyzing systems of other cities, including Fort Walton Beach's planning and zoning department.
Davis said SunGard has not offered a demonstration of its capabilities for his staff and he would "hate to see us spend money on a new program that does not do as well as what we have now."
Councilwoman Robyn Helt encouraged department heads to finish integrating all the city's computer systems in SunGard as soon as possible, including resolving any impediments the information technology contractor has encountered.
"If by the next meeting they are not able to resolve the firewall issue, I want to see a recommendation by the clerk for a new company to resolve that issue," Helt said.

I was expecting them to just not sign Ryan until I heard he may fight Miller now I am back to thinking he never fights under the UFC banner.
Fuck I could see Dana trying to get Randy removed from the HOF being the moody prick he tends to be.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
1 week later, Dana White removes Randy Couture from the Hall of Fame.
"Haters want to hate. Lovers want to love. I don't even want none of the above. I want to piss on you. Yes I do, I'll Piss on you, I'll Pee on you." ~ Dave Chappelle
Dana White Happy to Never Have to Do Business with Randy Couture Again | MMAWeekly.com
According to White, Couture isn't what he seems. His public persona doesn't match the real man.
White's comments may come as a shock to some, but he maintains they won't be a shock to anyone that actually knows Couture."Randy Couture comes off as the greatest guy in the world, Captain America. He's the furthest thing from it, and I'm happy to not be in business with him anymore," said White during the UFC 156 media day on Thursday. "Now I don't have to be in business with him ever again."
Couture is a former two-division UFC champion. Only he and B.J. Penn have accomplished that feat. He coached opposite Chuck Liddell in the debut season of "The Ultimate Fighter," and the two had one of the most famous trilogies in mixed martial arts history."99.9 percent of the people, that won't be shocking at all, people that actually know him, not people who watch him on TV," said White.
Couture holds the record for most championship fights in UFC history with 15 title bouts. He is a legend in the sport, but White says he didn't get to know the real Couture until 2007.
On October 11, 2007, Couture abruptly left the UFC. He and the promotion engaged in a legal dispute. Couture essentially lost the court battle and returned to the UFC in 2008. White says it was then that he got to know the real Randy.
"When that whole lawsuit went down, when he lied about his numbers, and lied about a lot of things, went into court and it didn't work out for him, I'd say that's when I really got to know him," said the UFC president.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
That story coming from Dana White is no surprise. He will bad mouth anyone who he is unable to do business with. The problem is that I've only heard bad things about Randy come from Dana's mouth. Has anyone else ever spoke out against Randy before?
I'm not saying it may not be true, but I use inductive reasoning here. If Randy looks good to other fighters, in pre-fights, post-fights, on TUF, to actors, then good chance that he is a good guy.
Have his ex-wives even spoke about him?
Last edited by Rise; 02-01-2013 at 06:45 AM.
The way he separated from his second wife and the fact that his Team Quest teammates and business partners sided with his wife, was pretty interesting and seems pretty harsh. Things concerning the way he runs/ran Xtreme Couture in Nevada that was pretty jerk-ish, especially the way he handled Shawn Tompkins are pretty illuminating. He's also been quite mercenary in his willingness to fight those who themselves believe are close to him. And then there's his incredulity and hostility to those who even broach the subject of TRT and potential PED usage.
These BE articles give some broad strokes on Couture's less than stellar actions. Other than that, most MMA journalists aside from Loretta take a pretty hard stance on Randy and conflict with the image of "Captain America"

No longer, just freeze the container with the compost until it is full. Then empty when you have time to jaunt out to the compost pile. Comes out of the dishwasher like new.

Local Community Cheers Orlando Science Center and Orlando Chamber of Commerce for its Commitment to Youth and Entrepreneurship
Program Launches this Fall at Orlando Science Center
ORLANDO, Fla. (July 11, 2014) — The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!), Orlando Science Center and Orlando Inc. (Orlando Chamber of Commerce) announce plans to launch the YEA! program this fall.
YEA! is a groundbreaking educational program that takes students in grades six through 12 through the process of starting and running a real business. Students work closely with local business leaders to cultivate and research business ideas, write a business plan, pitch their plan to a panel of investors (think "Shark Tank" meets "The Apprentice" meets "American Idol"), obtain funding, develop their brand, participate in a trade show at the end of the year, and actually launch their enterprise. Through the YEA! program, kids 11 to 18 years old start as students and graduate as CEOs. They learn to make a job — not just take a job.

Ok, I got our park and our route and everything secured for Toledo. It's an $80 fee, plus a $250 refundable deposit. I am paying the $80 on monday, at wchich time we will sign a liability release, and that takes care of any need for insurance, permits, etc. The $250 has to be paid by April 1. And then is refuded within the week after the walk, barring we don't trash the park. So, I will fax the invoice on Monday after I go to the park, fill out the paper work, and pay the $80. will I then be reimbursed?
Also, maybe I missed it - what about forms/applications for the walkers? How do we get those?

Cleaning homes is a task that most people dread. Busy schedules leave most of us with little or no time to clean homes on a daily basis. Vacuuming is a must at least once a week. Technology has revolutionized the types of vacuum cleaning systems being made available today, and they are now able to vacuum all the floors in your home and their parts and accessories also make it possible to dust and tidy furniture and other sections of your home. Again, the type of vacuum cleaning system and accessories you choose will depend on the pets and allergy prone members of your family. You might require parts such as HEPA filters to ensure that up to 99.97% of the allergens are kept at bay.

Hugh MacLeod is a genius. Genius.
His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity... MacLeod's work is undeniably an improvement over the office schlock of yore. At its best, it's more honest, and more cognizant of the entrepreneurial psyche, while still retaining some idealism.
Last year my State of the College address was 76 slides loaded with data. This year it was 14 cartoons that were substantially more memorable.
"There are only two daily newsletters that I look forward to opening and reading every time they show up to my inbox: Seth Godin's and gapingvoid."
In moments of indecision I glance at the wall [to Hugh's work] for guidance.


text: 2007 ALEXIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON Add To Cart $190.00 / 1.5 Liter Be the first to review this item » Profile Reviews Wine Specs Vintage 2007 Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation Oakville Harvest Date October 3-8 Aging 22 months in 100% French oak barrels, 60% new Bottling Date May 2009 Alcohol % 14.8 Wine Enthusiast 92 Wine Profile Vineyard Notes This wine was sourced exclusively from the three best blocks in the Schmidt Ranch Vineyard, located on benchland in Oakville on the western side of the Valley, along the Mayacamas Mountains. The well-drained alluvial soils produced a small crop of very intense, concentrated fruit. Winemaker Notes The aroma is dominated by ripe black currant, anise and blackberry. In the mouth this wine speaks with considerable authority. The first impression is one of sweet fruit and sumptuous tannins, leading to a very silky, firm texture in the mid-palate. The wine is very long in the mouth, with a finish that is thick, supremely wellbalanced, with layer upon layer of deep, dark cassis and espresso, coupled with sweet oak in the background. Drinks quite nicely now and will continue to age gracefully through at least 2018. Product Reviews Be the first to review this item » View Product Details »

Make Up For Ever Aqua Liners – 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liners
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner ($23.00 for 0.058 oz.) is a new liquid liner that launched recently at Sephora. It claims to be "weather, tear, and sweat-proof color" and "100% waterproof." There are fifteen shades in total (there is no #2 shade), all of which have been photographed and swatched in this post.
- #1 is a semi-sheer yellowed gold base with gold shimmer.
- #3 is a darkened forest green with olive and green shimmer.
- #4 is a medium-dark blue-teal with silver and teal shimmer.
- #5 is a bright blue with soft silvery-white shimmer.
- #6 is a blackened, cool-toned blue-purple with silver and blue shimmer.
- #7 is a blackened violet purple with blue-violet and purple shimmer.
- #8 is a medium-dark red-based purple with violet and fuchsia shimmer.
- #9 is a bright, neon pink with a soft sheen.
- #10 is a neutreal red with soft ruby red shimmer.
- #11 is a burgundy wine with fuchsia and pink shimmer.
- #12 is a lightened black with a touch of brown.
- #13 is a deep, dark black.
- #14 is a black-brown with multi-colored shimmer.
- #15 is a silvered black with multi-colored shimmer.
- #16 is a colorless base with white shimmer.
It's clear that there's a new liquid liner formula on the block, and a lot of brands have taken advantage of it: MAC Superslick ($17.50/0.06 oz.), Illamasqua Precision Ink ($27.50/0.06 oz., only available in Abyss and Glister), Laura Mercier Liquid Eyeliner ($26, only available in Gold Thread), Stila Sparkle Liquid Liner ($22.00/0.05 oz.), and Bobbi Brown Glitter Liquid Liner ($20.00/0.05 oz., only available in Silver and Gold during the holiday). I couldn't tell the difference between the majority of these when it came to the formula (Laura Mercier's I haven't tried; Stila's is chalked full of shimmer/glitter, so they feel a little different).
Make Up For Ever definitely changed up the formula and tweaked the packaging, which is something I didn't see in the other brands. The brush is actually more tapered and shorter, though still made out of foam. The shorter length actually enables you to have a little more precision and makes it easy to never have too much product on the brush (this makes these edge out just oh-so-slightly ahead, but the longer applicator is still easy to work with). I also felt like the formula was thinner, almost watery, but it wasn't watered down, because each liner was intensely pigmented. You also have to shake up these Aqua Liners (you'll hear something rattling inside when you do) — and this isn't something common to the other brands.
Aqua Liners are budgeproof, smudgeproof, and waterproof. These don't budge until you're ready to remove them, and they removed easily with an eye makeup remover like Lancome Bi-Facil or Make Up For Ever's Sens'Eyes. MAC's Makeup Removing Wipes also did a fine job of removing these from my arm. The product will flake off more than it will dissolve, but I didn't experience any flaking while wearing–only when I went to remove it; the best way to describe it is to analogize it to tube mascara.
Though Aqua Liners have a different applicator and the formula is definitely tweaked (at least, in consistency/feel), but in wear, I've found that all of the variations on this new type of liquid eyeliner wear extremely well. Make Up For Ever has the largest range at 15. The two shades that overlap across nearly every brand is gold (for MUFE, it's #1), though Make Up For Ever's #1 seems a little darker, less metallic gold, more sun-gold, and plain ol' black (for MUFE, it's #15).
P.S. — I'm still waiting for a few Stila Sparkle Liquid Liners, and then I'll post some comparisons for any shades that do compare.
The Glossover
Make Up For Ever Aqua Liners Swatches, Photos, Reviews
|The color range is amazing--it's exactly what I'd expect from Make Up For Ever and totally useful for liquid liner fanatics. There are fun, brightly colored shades, but also some interesting takes on black. And then it's delivered in a formula that holds on all day, through showers and workouts!

nice contest thanks imore, and GIVIT
Great effects...
thank you for being free!! :D
I love being able to stop and start recording while taking the video. That way I don't miss a thing but control what I record to make editing easier afterwards! Thanks VMIX
I love how it reminds people to record in landscape!
Dropbox integration is a great idea.
This is awesome!
Love the simplicity in using it! Dropbox is a huge plus for me, my entire family has Dropbox accounts, and I'm teaching them to use Givit to share family memories! Has to be my favourite feature!

Tweet of the day: Gray Maynard 'thinking about' dropping to 145 lbs - Bloody Elbow
UFC lightweight Gray Maynard is already one of the best fighters in his crowded division, but while he recovers from knee surgery he doesn't have a fight booked. When asked on Twitter whether he could make 145 lbs, "The Bully" responded with this:
On one hand, this could be a nothing comment. On the other hand, if he turns "thinking about it" into "actually doing it", who is up for Edgar vs. Maynard IV? As far as fighting current champion Jose Aldo, Maynard said he would never fight him nor would a possible 145 move be a permanent switch.Gray Maynard ✔ @GrayMaynard
I dont know. thinking about it RT @TheJonDelbrugge: @GrayMaynard could you make 45?

Well that statement certainly cools the jets off of Aldo vs. another lightweight-turned-featherweight for the time being. Maynard last fought in June against Clay Guida, winning a split decision in a fight nobody could've possibly believed to be anything but bad. He was scheduled to face Joe Lauzon at UFC 155 when the knee injury forced him out.Gray Maynard ✔ @GrayMaynard
I would never fight aldo n never stay at 145RT @Amanda_NYY: @GrayMaynard your boy Aldo rules 145, would that factor into the decision?

It'll be interesting to see how the next few months turns out for Maynard, particularly with the lightweight title picture further complicated by Anthony Pettis' drop to 145 to fight Jose Aldo.
