Hi. I see you uploaded a new version of this picture, at higher resolution. Unless you are the same person as User:Gstaff25, that image isn't yours. Have you got permission from Gstaff25 to upload the higher resolution copy? Where did you get it from? It may be that Gstaff25 only released the scaled-down version under a free licence, and that the high resolution copy is under full copyright. Colin (talk) 12:29, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hi. I thought that the image would be under the same license, no matter the size. I'll see if I can get into contact with User:Gstaff25 to see if he's fine with the higher resolution upload. Kyores (talk) 12:34, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- It is quite common for folk to donate low-resolution versions and keep the hi-resolution version chargeable. It would be great if he's happy to donate the larger version, but would have been best if he'd uploaded it. If you get permission, Gstaff25 could make a comment on the image description page to state the new higher resolution version is available on the same terms. If he's not happy, some admin can delete that version (I'm not an admin). Colin (talk) 13:07, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

[UPDATED with 2nd Arrest:] People are Sought (and Found) in Violent Circle K Beer Robbery
Categories: Breaking News, Crime-iny
|The suspects
According to a statement from Lt. Jeff Nightengale, the Garden Grove Police spokesman, detectives followed leads that led them to a Westminster school, where the 17-year-old was arrested without incident.
He was then taken to the Garden Grove Police Department, interviewed, processed and later transported to Orange County Juvenile Hall, where he was booked on suspicion of robbery.
Here is a look at him from the Circle K surveillance video:
Meanwhile, because you have been asking, the Good Samaritan who jumped in and helped the market clerk being assaulted by the beer nappers has been identified as Alex Ruiz, 22, of Garden Grove.
He was grabbing a coffee when the fight broke out, and police credit Ruiz with preventing the clerk from taking a "vicious beating." Indeed, Ruiz's actions so impressed the men and women in blue that he was awarded the Chief's Coin of Merit, which recognizes residents who make a difference or do good, Friday afternoon.
UPDATE, JAN. 9, 5:35 P.M.: A 16-year-old boy turned himself in to Westminster Police today, claiming to be one of two youths who stole an 18-pack of beer from a Circle K market in Garden Grove last week and fought with the store clerk and a customer who tried to stop the thieves.
The boy says he is the attacker shown at left.
He is not being identified by police because of his age. Due to intense media coverage of the case, the lad surrendered to Westminster Police around 11:40 this morning before Garden Grove officers arrived to take him into custody, according to a statement from Lt. Jeff Nightengale, Garden Grove PD's spokesman.
The teen was scheduled to be taken to juvenile hall after processing, Nightengale added. Here is a bigger look at him:

Johns mom could not help but notice how lovely Julies was and how much she and John seemed to like each other. John sensing his mothers concerns assured his mother that he and Julie were just roommates. A couple days after his mom left Julie says to John, Ever since your mother was here I can not find your bottle of 20yr Pappy Family Reserve. do you think your mother took the bottle. John said he would ask here. So John sent a mbx to his mother. Dear Mom I am not saying your took my bottle of 20yr Pappy and I am not saying you did not. But the fact remains ever since your were here the bottle is missing. A couple days were by and John received this mbx from his mother. Dear John. I am not saying your sleeping with Julie and I am not saying your not sleeping with her. But the fact remains if Julie was sleeping in her own bed she would have found your bottle of 20n yr Pappy by now. Love Mom. Enjoy Creggor.

As the Ohio State recruiting class takes shape the coaches have thrown out a national net looking for the best players from coast to coast. Despite offering a commitment to the Miami Hurricanes the phone continues to ring for defensive tackle Justin Thompson out of El Camino community college. The 6-foot-5, 280-pounder was supposed to make a June trip to Columbus but had to call it off because of school commitments."I wanted to get my (class work) taken care of so that's why I didn't come out to Ohio State," Thompson said. "I had to get my school and everything situated and make sure everything was taken care of with my teachers and everything. As soon as I get everything on track I plan on taking a trip out to Ohio and visiting."With schools like Cal, LSU and Oregon all calling Thompson as well the JUCO lineman knows that his recruitment may be far from over despite a pledge to Miami head coach Randy Shannon."There is really only like three of four schools I am keeping my eyes on other than Miami," Thompson said. "Just keeping my eyes open and seeing what everyone has to offer."The summer has been busy for Thompson as he and his El Camino teammates get ready for their upcoming season. There has not been much time to focus on recruiting with the rigors of summer practice taking its toll."We had taken a two week break," Thompson said. "But now we have been in summer practices for about three weeks or so."Thompson is only one high profile target on his defensive line with several other players returning for a second season at El Camino."Basically our whole starting line from last year is returning except for one guy," Thompson said. "We also picked up four or five really good linemen this year for this season."College recruiters have made a permanent camp at El Camino with so many talented players along with Thompson lining up on the defensive line."For sure our whole starting line is going high (Division) I-A," Thompson said. "On our second string we will have about two guys who will go (Division) I-A and the rest should go middle (Division) I-A or I-AA."With few dates left available Thompson knows that he might be hard pressed taking any more summer visits but will still make an attempt if possible to visit a couple of schools."I might try and take one or two more unofficials," Thompson said. "Just so I can get all my options in before February comes because it is coming closer than I thought it would."The Buckeyes are not in line for an unofficial but are in line for an official visit from Thompson."I talked to my D-line coach (Tim Hyde) and he set everything up and put me on the list," Thompson said. Ohio State and LSU have both set up October officials with Thompson."I will be taking an official to LSU on the 6th (of October)," Thompson said. "Then I believe it is a week or two after that before I go to Ohio State."Thompson believes that he will be in for the week of the 20th when the Buckeyes take on Michigan State. He trades messages with the Ohio State coaches frequently and likes what the coaches have to say."I talk to them a lot, they send text messages here and there," Thompson said. "They are still talking to me about (playing tackle). They said they have very high interest, and if any problems came up with classes they have no problem waiting on me."But Thompson doesn't foresee any problems on the academic side with his class work path set up."Everything is going well," Thompson said. "All I have to do is get my (Associates degree) and then I will be straight."Does Thompson have any idea of what he might like to study once he gets to his four-year destination?"I was thinking about majoring in speech and communications," Thompson said. "I might want to be a broadcaster involved with the NFL (laugh)."Of course Thompson would like to delay his announcing career for some time if his football career goes according to plan. ...More...

Not 'Decimated': FBI Director Calls Al Qaeda 'Top Terrorist Threat to the Nation'
12:48 PM, Jun 13, 2013 • By JERYL BIER
The message regarding terrorism from the Obama administration over the past few years has been that al Qaeda is on the run, its core leadership has been "decimated," and that the face of the "war on terror" is changing for the better. In his recent speech on U.S. counterterrorism strategy, President Obama said, "Core al Qaeda is a shell of its former self. Groups like AQAP must be dealt with, but in the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels themselves al Qaeda will pose a credible threat to the United States."
However, remarks on Thursday by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller to the House Committee on the Judiciary paint a less optimistic picture [emphasis added]:
Director Mueller also spoke of the "continuing threat from homegrown violent extremists" as seen in the Boston marathon bombing, and the "growing scope of the insider threat" posing risks to national security, illustrated by Chinese national Steve Liu, an employee of a New Jersey defense contractor sentenced in March to five years in prison for stealing designs on U.S. weapons systems.

The 37-year-old man was driving his car north on Highway 28 near Highway 37 when he was hit by an oncoming pick-up truck that lost control on a hill at 7:45 p.m. Monday.
The driver of the pick-up was taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries.
Road conditions at the time of the crash may have been a factor, police said.

these tweezers are cute as hell, but they are insanely overpriced. for the price and the hype, i was expecting some kind of miracle product, but these are exactly the same as my dollar store tweezers. they don't really have a good grip. overall i'm just pretty disappointed. i may still try the normal sized tweezers from tweezerman but as far as i'm concerned no one should be wasting their money on the mini tweezers.

Love them! Wish I bought them sooner! Thought I would try the mini size first because I didn't want to spend more money on the regular size if they weren't any good, but I have to say these do a great job and are the perfect size. They also come with a little plastic tube to keep them in which is really handy and will make sure they don't get ruined whilst in your make up bag! very happy with this product :)

After years of buying (and constantly losing) drugstore tweezers I finally bit the bullet and invested in a Tweezerman on the advice of several friends (and magazines and the Internet). I'm glad I did! I bought the mini size, since it was a little cheaper and came with a plastic tube for storing/ traveling and I haven't had any problems with it. The tips are nice and sharp and haven't dulled in the months I've been using them (almost daily!) but I read somewhere that you can send them to Tweezerman for free sharpening - anyone know if this is true?
Anyway, if I lost this guy I might invest in the regular-sized Tweezerman just because I have long fingers, but I'd miss having the plastic tube to keep it safe. Hopefully I don't lose them though!

Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm

My usual tweezers, which cost about $4 and have been great for years, had finally gone dull and I couldn't pull any brow hairs with them, even the longer ones. So when my birthday bucks from Ulta showed up in my inbox, I went and got these. Normally I would not be down to spend $15 on a set of tweezers - I would probably max out at $6. However, I ended up paying all of a $1.07 for them between coupons and bucks and I was very glad to finally get some authentic Tweezermans because I'd always heard they were the best.
I went with the mini because they were less expensive than the full size and my usual pair was about the same, so I'm used to that size for working with. These are as great as everyone says. They come in a variety of colors and sometimes patterns too, in a little plastic tube case. They are super sharp and grab even the smallest nub of a brow hair that has barely begun to poke out of the skin. It's really impressive, actually. The slant tip is perfect for grabbing and they pinch cleanly together for a quick and precise pull. My brows have never looked so clean!
Update: It's only been ten days, I haven't used them that much and they have already started to get duller and have trouble grabbing the tiny hairs. Disappointing. I'm bumping down to a score of 3, but if they continue to dull so quickly that will go ever lower.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Relaxed, Fine

I did like these, initially. They were very sharp for the first couple of months and I actually preferred the smaller size.
But they got duller way too quickly, especially considering the price and the fact that I don't use them very often at all, I rarely ever even tweeze my eyebrows!
Then of course it became harder and harder to grab hairs properly and the hairs would also break quite a bit instead of come out easily.
I bought two pairs because I wanted to leave one of them at my bf's place, and the same happened with both - they were dull a lot quicker than I expected, after not even two months of very infrequent use!
All in all, very sharp initially, but now I'm thinking of getting the full size in hopes those will stay sharp for longer!
PS: Yes, they have a free sharpening service which is great, BUT it takes 4-6 weeks to get them back if you live in the US and even longer for me in the UK...
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral

I had the full sized version for a couple of years until I recently lost them, went to buy a replacement pair only to find that they're $49.95 here (welcome to the joys of buying beauty products in australia!) so bought the mini pair (still $27!!!) to keep in my handbag/get me through until a full size pair that I bought online arrives.
The Mini tweezers are still above and beyond any of the cheaper tweezers I've ever owned, but not as good as the full sized version. Maybe it's my big hands, but I find them to be just a bit awkward to use - they're fine for just plucking that stray hair, but I wouldn't want to be really doing my eyebrows with them.
Still, they're super cute (I got polka dot ones!) and will make a good travel/handbag pair. But if you've never had tweezermans before, fork out the extra money for the full sized pair to get the full effect of their awesomeness!

Quality is as good as full size Tweezermans, great for travel

I think that we can all agree that there is NOTHING worse than a hair that you cannot pluck because your tweezers suck and it keeps slipping through. I finally bit the bullet and purchased these tweezers (the mini version) for $11.50. They work extremely well and get every tiny little hair. It's true that they are very sharp, but that is an advantage when the hair is slightly ingrown.
I would definitely recommend these as a tiny investment, they are worth the hype.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Other, Fine
Eyes: Brown
WOW these tweezers are insanely sharp!!! I threw away the plastic tube case it came in because I stainless steel is pretty hard to damage, but I kept the rubber cover for the sharp tip. It is able to pluck all my fine brow hairs. I have very small hands so the mini fits perfect in my grip. It is very effective, high quality, sleek designed, and compact. Although it was about twice the cost of other tweezers, I plan on getting my money's worth by using these for many years to come. I'm very happy with this investment! :)
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
These are the sharpest and most precise tweezers I have ever used. I like the assorted colors, which make them easier to find when I inevitably set them down someplace I shouldn't. The case that they are supposed to be stored in is useless. I'd much prefer it if they came with a sleeve.

For about a year I have been telling a story to highlight how users running as administrators are much more likely to get malware installed on their systems than users who run as normal users. The story is actually in Protect Your Windows Network if you wanted to see it. The conclusion was that if you let your users run as admins, prepare to spend a lot of time removing malware from their systems.
Recently eWeek did some empirical testing on that type of claim. Their results are presented at http://www.thechannelinsider.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=166172,00.asp. Basically, they verified the same thing we already know: no persistent malware showed up on the system where the user was not an administrator (note that I consider Power User privileges to be functionally equivalent to Administrators but eWeek separated the two).
It is really interesting reading. Take a look at it.
ok, i here this again and again, but no where, i see anyone explaining how to move from admin user to non-admin user.
a step by step guide that explains how and all the possible gotchas.
i run my home computer with just one account that has the admin rights, no password. i am on DSL, my compuer is always on. i have personal firewall, antivirus, antispyware all running and protecting me. i have with XP SP2 with its autoupdate on. i run Firefox. i get zero , thats right zero malware. still lets say i want to move to non-admin user, where is the guide? what happens to all my softwares?
i guess little guidance will go long way of making security advisors dream a reality.
The following ZDNet blog entry mentions that Windows Vista's User Access Protections (UAS) promises to make running Windows as a non-admin user much easier, and provides a link to an article on how - until then - you can make web surfing and email reading
safer when running as an Admin user under Windows XP:
Quoting from that blog entry:
"The best thing we can do is to make sure we're not running Windows as an Administrator no matter which browser we use. This may be a little hard before Windows Vista UAP (http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoftvistas/?p=33)
arrives because some applications break in user-mode, but even then there are alternatives like DropMyRights (http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/securecode/columns/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dncode/html/secure11152004.asp)
that allow you to individually neuter applications even when you're running as an Administrator. Keep in mind that non-administrative mode only reduce the security issues so it's no substitute for staying up to date with security patches."
One other potential approach to make operating as a non-admin user in Windows somewhat less painful:
"It is good practice for administrators to use an account with restrictive permissions to perform routine, non-administrative tasks, and to use an account with broader permissions only when performing specific administrative tasks. To accomplish this without logging off and back on, log on with a regular user account and use the runas command to run the tools that require the broader permissions. ..."
And now the jackpot: Aaron Margosis' blog entries offer a large number of resources on this topic, not only regarding RunAs but also a "MakeMeAdmin" script, Fast User Switching, the PrivBar toolbar (also highly recommended by Jesper), and many more tools and techniques for running as a non-admin user in Windows 2000 and XP:
I'm only a casual and rare user of Windows, but solely from casual observation these suggestions appear to be well considered and clearly written. Under Mac OS X, it's relatively painless to routinely work as a non-admin user, and Fast User Switching, sudo (in shells), and the Pseudo shareware app pretty much facilitate the occasional needs for admin-level access that aren't already handled by OS X's built-in equivalent to Vista's UAP (typo'd as "UAS" in my post above).

Tamlyn was sitting on her bed, reading a new book her brother had sent her, when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in!" She said, setting her book aside and waiting to see who it could be.
She smiled as she saw Sébastien carefully open the door and look around for her other roommates.
"They're out for the night, don't worry."
Sébastien smiled at her and walked across the room to set on the bed with her.
"How was school today?" He asked, looking at Tamlyn's lips instead of her eyes.
"Informative," she replied coyly.
Sébastien smiled and her heart melted. It had been almost a week since their first kiss. Or rather, their second first kiss. Neither one of them had mentioned it, but the quality of life inside the apartment had certainly improved. They were able to have pleasant conversations, however strained by their desire to kiss one another, and they were able to move around the apartment without worrying about running into one another.
"So I've been thinking," Sébastien said. "About you."
"Yeah?" Tamlyn blushed.
"I have," he nodded. "And I really want this to work between us."
"I do too."
"But I'm worried about my dads and what they will say when they find out."
Tamlyn nodded. "I've been worried about that too. What do you think they'll do?"
"They won't be happy, that's for sure. I mean, they'll be happy for us, but they'll think it's irresponsible of me considering you are a student and a guest in this house."
"Do you think they'll ask me to leave?"
"No. No, definitely not. They're more likely to ask me to leave."
Tamlyn laughed and Sébastien smiled.
"But I do want to keep it a secret, just for a little while. Until I figure out how to best tell them."
Tamlyn couldn't agree more. The last thing she wanted was for Sébastien to get in trouble with his dads. "You know them best. I'll just keep my mouth shut and my hands to myself until you let me know."
"You don't have to keep your hands entirely to yourself," Sébastien teased her.
"No?" She laughed.
Sébastien smiled and shook his head, leaning toward her and letting his eyes wander down to her lips again. Tamlyn grinned at him and waited for his kiss. But something startled her and she looked toward the door as Piper walked in. She knew how she and Sébastien must look in their current position and panic at getting caught suddenly set in so she did the first thing that she could think of. As hard as she could, though not knowing it would cause much damage, she pushed Sébastien and screamed at him.
"Sébastien! How dare you!"
His legs flew over his head as he toppled from the bed and Tamlyn watched in horror, helpless to stop him. The room went silent and then he landed with a thud. She wanted to start apologizing right then and there but knew that Piper would never buy her story. So instead she glared, waiting to see what Sébastien would do. Luckily, in typical Sébastien fashion, he stood up quickly and glared back.
"Get out! You have no right to be in our room!" Tamlyn shrieked. Sébastien gave her one last look before storming out of the room and leaving Tamlyn alone with her roommate.
"What the fuck was that?" Piper asked her as soon their host brother had left.
Tamlyn shook her head, trying to think of a lie. "I don't know. I was in here, minding my own business, and he just came storming in here, yelling at me about not cleaning up the kitchen. I mean, come on. I'm the only one who actually does clean up that kitchen."
Piper looked confused but appeared to believe her.
"Boys," Tamlyn continued, trying to get Piper's mind off what she had just seen. "I swear. I mean, it's just like they don't get it. Oh, but I'm sure Alistair is different. He seems more perceptive than most, doesn't he?"
"You'd be surprised," Piper said and sounded almost bitter about it. Tamlyn watched as she reached for a duffel bag when something bright and shiny caught her eye. Her mouth dropped as she saw an enormous yellow diamond sitting very comfortably on Piper's left hand.
"Is that…?" Tamlyn started to ask about the ring but Piper interrupted her.
"An overnight bag? Yes. I'm staying with Alistair for the rest of the weekend."
"Okay," Tamlyn said quickly and looked up at Piper's face which was begging her not to question her further. "Have fun."
Piper gave Tamlyn a pathetic smile and quickly ran from the room as Tamlyn stared after her in confusion. But she waited all of two seconds before Piper had closed the door before grabbing her phone from her night stand and calling Laila. Of course, it went straight to voicemail. She knew that her third roommate was in Barcelona with Sterling but she had to talk to someone about this. Piper was definitely sporting a huge ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. Yet she didn't look excited about it. She hadn't even mentioned it.
"Laila!" Tamlyn squealed into her voicemail. "Did Alistair propose to Piper? Why didn't anyone tell me? Call me the second you get this!"
She shut her phone and then looked around her room knowing there was someone she needed to go see. She felt the butterflies in her stomach start flying around uncontrollably as she tiptoed out of her room and down the hall to Sébastien's wing of the apartment. She had only seen his room once and had never been inside but tapped quietly on the door, hoping to get an answer.
After only a few seconds, Sébastien arrived at the door, opening it wide and giving Tamlyn a skeptical look.
"I'm sorry!" She cried, a smile on her face.
Sébastien tried to stay stern but failed and eventually cracked a smile himself. "Come in."
Tamlyn grinned brilliantly and stepped inside of his room, looking around at her new surroundings. His walls were covered in posters of far away cities: Tokyo, Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles. His bed was made with a dark green comforter and his walls were painted soft blue.
"I like your room," Tamlyn said, spinning around facing him. He was smiling at her but didn't speak as he took two large steps toward her. His hands reached for her and he drew her toward him, kissing her fiercely and walking her backwards to his bed.
"Sébastien!" She squealed as she felt the mattress against the back of her legs.
"Hmm?" He kissed her again.
She giggled as he pressed against her and she sat down on the mattress, pulling him with her. Sébastien moaned as he felt her curves under his weight. They both scrambled to the top of the bed and he relaxed between her legs, kissing her again as his hands roamed her sides. Tamlyn's hands were sliding up and down his back and getting tangled in his hair. Each kiss was better than the last and Sébastien felt himself starting to stir as she rubbed her hips against him.
He pulled away slightly so he could lift her shirt above her head. She was all too willing and lifted her arms to help him. His lips immediately fell to her chest and he kissed each breast, eager to have them completely free. His hands struggled with her bra and she arched her back so he could get around to the hook. The garment was thrown to the side and Tamlyn immediately reached for Sébastien's shirt. He pulled it off with ease and smiled down at her as he reached for the zipper on her jeans.
"Sébastien, wait," she said suddenly. He instantly stopped and reached for her ribs, waiting to see what she had to say.
"It's just been a while," Tamlyn said, an embarrassed look on her face.
"Has it?" He ran his fingers up her sides and watched as goose bumps rose on her skin.
"Yeah," she blushed. "Like, close to two years."
"I didn't realize," he smiled down at her. She never stopped surprising him.
"I'm really glad we are doing this," she told him, reaching for the belt on his pants. "I'm just nervous."
"Don't worry," he told her, kissing her again. "I was planning on taking my time…once I got you naked."
Tamlyn felt herself smiling in excitement as she slid Sébastien's belt through the loops of his jeans. It had been a while since this had happened for Tamlyn and she usually didn't rush into anything. Her last boyfriend had been with her for over a year before she slept with him. But she knew Sébastien was different. She knew he wouldn't take this decision lightly.
Tamlyn watched as he kicked his jeans off and then returned his attention to hers. She lifted her hips and worked helped Sébastien pull them over her thighs. She inhaled sharply as she felt him relax between her legs, his erection pressed stiffly against her inner thigh.
Sébastien couldn't believe this was about to happen. He had thought about it for so long but never dreamed that it would actually come true. Slowly, he started to kiss down her neck and across her chest, loving the sound of her breath catching in her throat as he nipped gently at her breasts.
He moved lower down her body, his tongue tasting her skin as he kissed down to her panties. Her breath was jagged as he slipped his fingers under the elastic band but then she fell silent as he started to slip them down over her hips. But he hadn't gotten very far when he heard the door knob turn and Luc's voice resonating through the room.
"Sébastien? I need your help moving…" His eyes flew to the door as he saw his father standing just outside, a look of shock on his face.
"Sébastien! How dare you!" Tamlyn shrieked, startling him and causing him to look up at the naked girl in his bed. But he didn't have to look for long. Tamlyn kicked her leg at him and hit him square in the chest, causing him to slide of the edge of the mattress and land on his knees just beyond the foot of the bed.
Sébastien groaned in pain as Tamlyn struggled to cover herself with his comforter.
"I'll just come back later," Luc said, glancing at his son and keeping his eyes off the American.
"Great idea," Sébastien said sharply as he stood up and watched as his father tried to hide a smile while closing the door.
"I'm sorry!" Tamlyn whispered once the door had shut. "I did it again, didn't I?"
Sébastien looked down at her, not at all surprised to find his anger melting away as he saw her trying desperately to cover her breasts with her hands. He smiled and climbed onto the bed next to her, relaxing next to her on his side.
"Are you all right?" Tamlyn asked and reached for Sébastien's face.
"I'm fine," he smiled at her and kissed her gently on the lips. "But this probably isn't going to happen tonight."
"No kidding!" Tamlyn laughed and rolled onto her side as well. "I guess this saves you from having to tell your dads about us."
Sébastien sighed and then let his eyes fall down to her cleavage. Nothing could cause him anxiety at this moment. Not when Tamlyn was so close and so naked. He reached for her and pulled her close, crushing her chest against his.
"Luc won't say anything if I ask him not to. It's Pierre I'm worried about."
"Well please figure it out soon," Tamlyn requested with a smile. "After tonight, I don't know how much longer I can't wait for you."
Sébastien laughed at her teasing and kissed her forehead. "You and me alike."
Tamlyn sighed and looked into his grey eyes. They didn't look regretful but certainly didn't appear lustful anymore. They looked almost loving as he stared back at her and ran his fingertips over her hip. She smiled up at him and kissed his chin, pushing away from him and searching for her bra.
"I should get going, I guess."
"You don't have to," she heard him say.
"No. I think I should." She laughed at their situation and slipped her bra on.
"I'll figure this out soon. I promise."
Tamlyn looked over her shoulder and saw Sébastien staring at her. "I know you will. But don't worry. I'm not going anywhere."
Sébastien nodded and then relaxed onto his back. Tamlyn found the rest of her clothes and dressed quickly, leaning over the bed and kissing Sébastien once more before leaving him for the night.
"Goodnight," she whispered against his lips.
"Please stay," he requested, opening his eyes and seeing her smiling face above his. "I won't try anything. You can just sleep."
But she laughed and shook her head. "No. With our luck, Pierre will come in early tomorrow morning and want you to help him with breakfast."
Sébastien knew she was probably right. Already the odds were not in their favor and they had just been caught red handed by one of his dads.
"You go talk to Luc. I'll go lock myself in my room."
Sébastien laughed and sat up so he could kiss her one last time. "Goodnight."
Tamlyn smiled at him and left without saying another word. Sébastien stayed on his bed for a few minutes before getting up and pulling on some pants. He knew Luc would understand. He thought Luc might even be happy for them. Nothing was working out as he had planned yet he had never planned on falling for Tamlyn in the first place. It made sense that nothing would work in their favor. But he didn't mind. Even the thought of being able to publically show his affection for her was enough to make him smile.

On December 5, 2013, Manhattan will see an awesome, one-of-a-kind spectacle when the National Museum of Mathematics, New York's newest museum landmark, presents a math event that lights up one of the city's oldest landmarks: the Flatiron Building. In what might be one of the most unusual events of this holiday season, MoMath will create a stunning illuminated demonstration of the Pythagorean Theorem. By surrounding the entire structure with glow sticks, held in place by hundreds of New Yorkers, the length of the shimmering sides will show that the Flatiron Building is roughly based on a 5-12-13 right triangle. (It's no coincidence that this event takes place on the only date in the next 92 years that includes this famous Pythagorean triple.) A further, even larger, display of three huge squares will form a demonstration of the famous theorem: a2 + b2 = c2.

Development of U.S. Lodging Industry and Its Implication/DEVELOPPEMENT DE L'INDUSTRIE DE LOGEMENT DES ETAT-UNIS ET SON IMPLICATION
Jinzhao, Wang, Canadian Social Science
This article reviews the development of U.S. lodging industry and its implications, it shows the high degree of concentration in some aspects related to development of U.S. lodging industry such as market size, major players, and customer types.. And then further analyses the factors and its implications that influencing the lodging industry of US, it mainly was studied from the aspects of economic, social and technological sides. Finally forecasts the key trends of the lodging industry.
Key words: Development, Influence Factor, Issue, Trend
Résumé: Cet article passe en revue le développement de l'industrie de logement des Etat-Unis et son implication. Cette rétrospective montre la concentration de haut niveau sous certains aspects relatifs au développement de cette industrie tels que la dimension du marché, les acteurs principaux et les types des clients. Et puis l'article analyse les facteurs et ses implications qui influent l'industrie de logement des Etat-Unis dans les perspectives économique, sociale et technologique. Finalement, l'auteur prévoit les tendances importantes de l'industrie.
Mots-Clés: développement, facteurs influants, problème, tendance
The perfect storm of 9/11, SAR, Iraq, and weak business travel demand had a devastating impact on lodging industry performance from 2001-2003, but a long recovery is taking shape and pricing power is on the mend. Industry occupancy rates have rebounded above 60%, while revenue per available room (RevPAR) has recovery from its recent slide, particularly in the volatile top end of the market. In 2004, the hotel industry appeared to have finally turned the corner. Overall profitability for the lodging industry grossed $113.7 billion, an increase of approximately $8 billion from 2003. Pretax profits rose from $12.8 billion in 2003 to $16.7 billion in 2004.
Room sales accounted for roughly 54% of revenues in 2004, lodging industry has become more consolidated over time due to acquisition and internal growth. However, no single lodging company encompasses hotel (including franchises) that account for more than 15% of all hotel rooms in the United States. Based on affiliated rooms worldwide, the largest U.S. based company is franchisor Cendant, the parent of nine lodging chain with more than 6,500 properties and about 530,000 rooms. Cendant's lodging brands include DaysInn, Howard Johnson, Knights Inn, Ramada(United States), Super 8, and Travelodge. Demand for hotel rooms comes from both US residents and international travelers. In 2004, there was a 13 percent rise in the number of overseas visitors to the US, including a percent increase in arrivals from western Europe and an 18 rise from Japan. (Industry Survey 2005)
1.1 Market Size
In 2006, U.S. hotels were able to turn a healthy 8.8 percent rise in total revenue into an impressive 15.5 percent increase in profits according to the recently released 2006 edition of Trends in the hotel industry published by PKF Hospitality Research. The tremendous increase will be contributed to the strong economy. Hotels have been beneficiaries of strong increase in demand that have resulted in tremendous gain in revenue. PKF-HR breaks down their survey sample into five property categories: full-service, limited-services, convention, all-suite, and resort. Among the different property categories, limited-service hotels achieved the greatest increase in revenue (10.3%), while full-services hotels achieved the greatest increase in profitability (19.3%). While convention hotels lagged the other property types somewhat in terms of revenue and profit growth, the 7.8 percent gain ? revenues and 12.2 percent increase in profits.
1.2 Major Players in U.S. Lodging Industry
The US hotel market increased by 6.5% since 2003 to reach a value of US$75.1 billion in 2004. It can be illustrated by following figures. Hotel chains were the largest sector, accounting for 71% of the sales in 2004, worth US$53. …

Adventures in Lith Land
by, 02-01-2009 at 03:40 PM (1515 Views)
So I've been reading Tim Rudman's Book and got some Arista Powder Lith AB and just had to give it a whirl. I read over the "how to" section of Tim's book several times, enough for a general idea to sink in but definitely not complete comprehension.
My first challenge was that I thought I had enough developer to make 1L when I actually had enough to make 1gal of each A and B. The largest container I had was 2L from our pop (soda) bottle collection (dang michigan deposits). So I used the old 1gal equal approx 4L. It's actually 3.78L per gal, but I felt fine cutting this corner. Not having a complete gal bottle I got the hottest water I could out of the tap and mixed a 2L bottle with the full packet until I got the best suspension possible, then split the bottle. It seems to have worked.
Then I pulled up a negative from the book depository in Detroit I had taken on an excursion with Jeff and Eva Bannow. I mixed up the lith developer 1+1:14 like I think the directions on freestyle suggest. This was waaaaay too slow. I exposed a sheet of paper for 1:10 and after 10min only a faint image was visible. I honestly don't have that kind of time on my hands. Ideally my dev times will be around 10min or less. I doubled the developer and after 10:30 the image went way too dark. Finally I got it right at 8:30 in the dev.
Then I tried a negative I took on my snowy Tawas Lighthouse trip. This did not go so well. I had an inkling that exposure controlled contrast and this was a thick low contrast neg. I just tried 5min @F8 and the resulting image was very dark and low contrast after 10:30 in the soup. I then tried shorter and shorter times realizing that less exposure seemed to increase contrast. This print never really came out great. I got it to a point that I thought looked neat but ultimately decided that this might be better on a faster lithing (higher contrast) paper. It was during this printing that the paper seemed to settle into a 8:30-10:30 dev time.
Next up was a picture of a grass roller I took up at Photostock 2008 once again Jeff and Eva were there. Great people to go photographing with by the way. I nailed this one (or so I thought) right out of the gate with a 1:30 @F11 exposure add 8:30 in the lith.
It was getting really late by now. Lith printing is like printing in slow-mo. instead of 30sec exposures and 2min dev times it's more like 1:30 exposures and 10min dev times. I think the results are worth it. I just had to try just one more before collapsing in bed (it was almost 6am!). This time of a bent tree I photographed once again during Photostock 2008 on Mackinac Island. The magic combination of 1:30 @F11, 8:30 in the lith worked like a charm! I only did one, then packed it up. I took careful notes as I can fully see how much diversity is possible in this process. Just trying a different paper will likely change *everything* from optimal dilutions to time in the dev and possibly exposure. I'm just starting to get a feel for how these things interact but the first step in what I'm sure will be a long journey has been taken!

Thank you, Jesus. Make that thank you Jesus and Monique Lhuillier.
I knew it would happen and predicted as much. It was only a matter of time. Those strapless, which- of-these-things- is-not-like-the-other dresses have hit the skids. Covered chests and necklines, long sleeves and ruffles are back on brides, and lace and mesh-covered shoulder blades are in for 2013.
Marchesa covers up with beading and short sleeves, while Vera Wang winds some Elizabethan-style ruffles around the neck or adds delicate appliqué. Lhuillier, long the celebrity favorite of the likes of Britney Spears (maybe not her best client recommendation), leaves a slit to beat sixty up the front, but we'll take it where we can get it. Douglas Hannant has his classic beaded bodice and long sleeves wrapped tight atop a column dress. Badgley Mischka, too - they're all doing it. And if you don't, brides had better have the goods gowned under more layers of ruffles than The Princess and the Pea. Top or bottom, you're all going undercover.
Actually heaven and an entire runway of wedding designers had little to do with it. Lhuillier says her inspiration was fairy-tale, and it doesn't get more fairy-tale than a prince, therefore credit goes to the Duchess of Cambridge, whose own matrimonial wear sported long lace sleeves and shoulders. Like I've always said, it only takes one royal to come up the hill and America goes tumbling after.
So, no more naughty debutantes, you may as well just say yes to the dress. The winsome is back in wedding, along with the modest in marriage ceremonies.
Besides, you don't want the world to think you can't afford sleeves.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL analyst: Todd Haley deserves a second chance
It was reported Thursday that the Arizona Cardinals had asked the Pittsburgh Steelers for permission to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Haley, who held the same title in Arizona from 2007-2008 before leaving to be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, is a candidate for the Arizona vacancy.
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworksi, as a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo, thinks Haley would be a good choice, even after struggling with the Chiefs.
"Clearly, I think coaches, as head coaches the first time, they learn an awful lot," Jaworski said. "You can be overwhelmed by it, and I personally believe guys are much better the second time around.
"They know the pitfalls of being the guy in charge."

Speaker Notes:
This loop summarizes how the rainfall event unfolded across the area. A large area of moderate rain covered northeast Pennsylvania and central New York early in the afternoon on the 16th. A narrow band of very heavy, embedded within the moderate rain, tracked slowly east across the area between 2 pm and 6 pm. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches in around 1 hour produced flash flooding across northeast Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York as the narrow heavy band moved east.

Marcia Davis: Make your voice heard to those managing Tennessee's wildlife
Will hunters be allowed to shoot Sandhill cranes in Tennessee this fall?
The possibility of a 60-day crane hunting season with permits issued to 775 hunters (each could shoot three Sandhill cranes for a potential but unlikely total of 2,325 cranes) has many area birdwatchers up in arms.
A more than two year delay in approval of Sandhill crane hunting may end when Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commissioners vote on this controversial issue at their Aug. 22 and 23 meeting in Knoxville. The commissioners, appointed by the governor to represent different regions of the state, will decide if one of Tennessee's most watchable, most spectacular, and most loved birds will become a game species.
In January 2011 commissioners and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) agreed more time was needed to learn about the rebounding Sandhill population in the eastern U. S. and to consider the best management choices for a species that was nearly wiped out in the 1930s.
The delay was a victory for Tennessee Ornithological Society (TOS) members and others who expressed concerns about the accuracy of size estimates of the eastern breeding population and the fact that cranes are slow to reproduce. A pair seldom produces over one offspring a year and they don't start breeding until about four years old. Hunting regulations could allow killing of up to ten percent of the Sandhill population a year.
The wintering and migratory Sandhill population visiting Tennessee may now be as high as 87,000 birds and increasing yearly. That could be about a quarter of all Sandhills in the eastern flyway. The well-being of the crane population comes first for both hunters and wildlife watchers. The controversy is about choosing the best ways to manage and protect cranes.
Knoxville TOS member Vicki Henderson states "There is no other species of bird in Tennessee that creates this kind of spectacle, offers this type of visibility, has a compelling conservation story, and affords us a viewing opportunity that we use to both celebrate and educate the public about wildlife and wildlife conservation in Tennessee. This is not just about the "impact" to the eastern population of Sandhill cranes and whether the population can sustain a hunt. This is also about the impact on people who have celebrated and revered Sandhill cranes in Tennessee for more than 22 years."
Some people think the public's perception of crane hunting could be an embarrassment for Tennessee and TWRA if the state turns its number one high profile watchable non-game species into a huntable game species. The very presence of Sandhills tells an important conservation success story. Thousands of people travel to southeast Tennessee every year, especially during the annual crane festival, to view the awesome spectacle of thousands of Sandhill cranes and a few endangered whooping cranes at Meigs County's Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge managed by TWRA.
When it comes to tourism, shooting cranes could be like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. When people travel to Tennessee to see Sandhill and endangered whooping cranes they do not want to hear nearby gunshots or see a crippled crane. "As a resource, large numbers of Sandhill cranes in southeast Tennessee may have more value to Tennesseans as a watchable wildlife species and tourist attraction than as a game species. The cranes are symbolic of a conservation success story and an important part of Tennessee's natural heritage," states Melinda Welton, Chairwoman of the TOS Conservation Policy Committee.
"Many wildlife watchers, who have contributed money to help this happen, don't want to see cranes killed. Endangered immature whooping cranes that migrate through and winter in Tennessee, easily mistaken for Sandhills, could be shot by hunters."
TWRA and its commissioners are responsible for managing Tennessee's wildlife. Let them know what you think about crane hunting. The proposed hunt would take place in the region south of Interstate 40 and east of State Highway 56. TWRA is accepting public comments until Aug. 10. Send emails to firstname.lastname@example.com and mail to Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Att: Waterfowl Regulations, P. O. Box 40747, Nashville, TN, 37204. Contact information for commissioners is available from TWRA at www.tn.gov/twra/comnames and 1-800-332-0900.

- A University of Southern Mississippi history professor and prize-winning
author has been named the new editor-in-chief of the online publication
Mississippi History NOW.
Dr. Greg O'Brien,
an expert in ethnohistory and American Indian culture, gained unanimous
approval on May 3 from the Mississippi Historical Society, replacing
former editor-in-chief Dr. Ray Skates, Southern Miss emeritus.
"I am
grateful for the trust placed in me by the Mississippi Historical
Society," said O'Brien, who won the 2003 McLemore Prize for
the best book published on a Mississippi history topic in 2002.
Published by University of Nebraska Press and released in March,
the book is titled "Choctaws in a Revolutionary Age, 1750-1830."
The Mississippi
History NOW Web site (http://mshistory.k12.ms.us/) is an innovative
and award-winning project published by the Mississippi Historical
Society since August 2000. Its goal is to increase knowledge about
all aspects of Mississippi's past for students and the public. Each
month a new article by a historian is presented along with a corresponding
lesson plan designed by a Mississippi educator.
In the near
future, fund raising to keep the site going will be a top priority,
O'Brien said. "We are looking for foundation and corporate
sponsorship. In addition, I plan to continue the accomplished work
of my predecessor and of the editor (Peggy Jeanes) in bringing a
wide array of Mississippi history topics to the public's attention,"
he added.
O'Brien, whose
specialty courses at Southern Miss include American Indian History
and Colonial America, also won the prestigious Fletcher M. Green
and Charles W. Ramsdell Award last fall as author of the best article
published in the Journal of Southern History during the two preceding
years. The article was titled "The Conqueror Meets the Unconquered:
Negotiating Cultural Boundaries on the Post-Revolutionary Southern
News of the
Web site's effectiveness is already filtering in, O'Brien said.
"Just last week I heard from a teacher on the Gulf Coast who
used one of my articles for MHN in his class, and he said that his
students successfully learned about the removal of the Choctaw Indians
in the 1830s in an easily accessible and engaging format,"
he said.
A member of
the Southern Miss faculty since 1998, O'Brien became a tenure-track
assistant professor at Southern Miss in 2000 and was promoted to
the rank of associate professor last year. He earned a bachelor
of arts at Randolph-Macon College in 1988, a master's degree at
James Madison University in 1994 and a doctorate at the University
of Kentucky in 1998.
O'Brien's research
fields also include American environmental history, the American
Revolution and early U.S. history.
