Guile (ガイル Gairu?) is a video game character in Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games, introduced in Street Fighter II. Although his role in the Street Fighter story was at first minimal, he is considered the third leading and best male character in the series, after Ryu and Ken, largely due to his effectiveness as a character and his popularity.
In the live action Street Fighter movie, Guile is given the full name of William F. Guile, with the military rank of colonel. Although Capcom did not canonize the name, it was also used in the US Street Fighter cartoon that was loosely based on the movie. However, in UDON's Street Fighter comic book, "Guile" is the character's first name. According to the official Street Fighter website, Guile has the USAF rank of Major at the time of Street Fighter IV.[6]
Early Street Fighter II sketches and notes suggest that Guile was developed specifically to appeal to American fans. His physical appearance is strikingly different from the many Asian characters in the Street Fighter series, with light blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a particularly tall flattop haircut. The length of Guile's hair varies greatly from appearance to appearance; it is relatively realistic in Street Fighter II, and impossibly tall in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos. Capcom source books suggest that Guile's famous hairdo is styled with a special-order army hair spray to keep it up (though he ends up fixing it quickly after a match).
Guile's all-American image includes military fatigues and United States flag tattoos on each arm; following standard United States military protocol, the stars are on the left hand side to give the illusion that the flag is flying 'towards' battle. The image of the uniformed American Airman is well known in Japan due to the number of United States Armed Forces bases present in that country.
Guile wears Charlie's dog tag alongside his own; in Street Fighter IV, one of Guile's alternate costumes is Charlie's costume.
In Charlie's Street Fighter V story prologue, Guile wears a white short folded sleeve military button shirt with green emblems in each sides, a matching green tie on the collar, brown military pants with a black belt to his waist and black boots. He also wears his signature sports sunglasses.
Personality Edit
Guile is a tough man, both physically and mentally, who takes pride in family, and is a loving husband and father to his family. A stoic man at heart, Guile's calm and emotionless exterior actually hides the rage within him after Charlie's death. Although loyal to the military and the United States, Guile is extremely persistent. He is so driven to find out who betrayed him in the jungles of Thailand, and to try and get at M. Bison, that he would even put that over his duties.
In Street Fighter X Tekken, it is revealed that he is scared of bears.
Concept Edit
Guile's design was possibly inspired by Rudol von Stroheim, a character from the manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, who also has a military background as well as a patriotic personality. Ironically, Stroheim was a Nazi officer.
Story Edit
When Guile was a trainee in the United States Air Force, he befriended his superior officer, Charlie Nash and asked him to teach him in his unique form of fighting, which Charlie agreed to do. Guile learned the style, but his hot temper caused him to lack proficiency in the moves (shown in how Charlie can shoot Sonic Booms with one hand, while Guile needs both).
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Edit
In the Street Fighter continuity, Guile was not introduced to the series until the events of Street Fighter Alpha 3, where he is addressed as "Commander". Guile is sent by the United States Air Force to look for his senior teammate and best friend Charlie, who has gone missing during a secret investigation. Guile's search eventually leads him to the Interpol investigator Chun-Li, who warns him not to follow Charlie due to the danger involved. Guile demonstrates his fighting ability, and assures Chun-Li that he will not let their friend come to harm. He eventually finds the Shadaloo base in Thailand. Guile informs Charlie that they do not need to be there any longer, as an aerial bombardment will begin in an hour. Charlie, however, insists that Shadaloo leader M. Bison will escape, and they come to blows. The sinister and powerful M. Bison appears and attacks the two Airmen, but is no match for their combined prowess. He is forced to retreat, calling a gunship to keep them pinned down and cover his escape.
The two give chase, and follow him into the base, deciding that M. Bison's source of power, the Psycho Drive must be destroyed. Chun-Li then appears and informs them that the bombardment has been called off, surmising that Bison has somehow used his influence. She goes on to tell them that she has set explosives in an attempt to destroy the base, but is unsure if they'll be enough. As she rushes to escape, Charlie and Guile decide to set explosives around the Psycho Drive to ensure that if nothing else, it at least will be destroyed.
As they set their charges, M. Bison fought with Ryu and his allies in an epic battle. In the end, Ryu defeated him, destroying his body temporarily and forcing M. Bison to regenerate in the Psycho Drive. Bison successfully regenerated his body then Charlie convinces Guile to escape while he holds Bison off, and Guile escaped right before the base explodes, with Charlie and Bison presumably caught in the blast. Chun-Li and Ryu eventually find Guile standing on a mountain, and Chun-Li says that Charlie may perhaps be alive somewhere, just as she believes that her father may be. Guile agrees, and says that he will continue to believe in Charlie.[7]
Street Fighter II Edit
Holding Bison responsible for the death of his best friend, he seemingly dedicates his whole life to exacting revenge on Bison, who has somehow survived the explosion. A court case against the Shadaloo dictator fails when Bison bribes all the judges to let him go free. Bison by this time wants revenge on Guile, Chun-Li, and many other people who had hindered his syndicate's efforts. To this end, he sets up the second World Warrior tournament to trap them, among other reasons. Guile, for his part, takes the bait, deserting his wife and daughter to pursue the vendetta.
Guile's ending depicts him having Bison at his mercy and reminding him of Charlie. Bison shows no regret and taunts Guile to kill him. Guile hesitates and is interrupted by arrival of his wife, Julia (called Jane in SFII series) and daughter, Amy, who persuade him to give up on his revenge and return home. Guile, refusing to become a murderer like Bison, concludes that he feels like he's waking up from a long nightmare and returns to his family. However, like most of the SFII endings, canonicity of this one is very questionable.
Pre-Super Street Fighter IVEdit
Some time after the fall of Shadaloo, Chun-Li, Guile and Cammy are summoned to a theme park to stop the rampage of S.I.N. operative Juri, who is wreaking extreme havoc. While Guile and Cammy try to evacuate the civilians still trapped, Chun-Li faces Juri just as she executes a rogue S.I.N agent and a woman. Juri seriously injures Chun-Li but before she can execute her, she is forced to flee when Guile and Cammy arrive due to her artificial eye malfunctioning.
Guile and Cammy later act on anonymous intelligence and track Juri down to an old Shadaloo base which houses the former twelve Dolls. When they arrived, Juri had already defeated all twelve dolls and had just finished off Juli and Juni. A fierce fight ensues and Guile is eventually heavily incapitated by Juri, leaving Cammy to face her alone. Guile later informs Chun-Li about their failure to apprehend Juri.
Street Fighter IV Edit
Though Shadaloo is seemingly gone, Guile is restless and still believes it possible that Charlie may be alive since Charlie's body was never recovered. Guile demands of his superiors to allow him to continue the search. His commanding officer refuses, and Guile tenders his resignation. Guile is surprised when his superior ignores the resignation, assigning Guile to the investigation of S.I.N., an organization with alleged ties to Shadaloo. Guile is at first incredulous that Shadaloo lives on without Bison, but soon takes to his new assignment with zeal. Recruiting Chun-Li to the investigation, the two enter a new tournament organized by S.I.N., in the hopes of infiltrating its headquarters.
Over the course of the tournament he encounters a mysterious French fighter named Abel, who seems to recognize Guile's Sonic Boom attack. Since only he and Charlie know this attack, Guile comes to the conclusion that Abel has information on Charlie's ultimate fate, and immediately starts pressing him for answers on where he saw the Sonic Boom before. Abel is completely unwilling to share such sensitive information with a stranger who could easily be a spy, and they exchange blows. It is currently unknown who won the fight.
Later, in the S.I.N. headquarters, Guile recovers important data while Chun-Li is trapped by Vega, with the base's self-destruction imminent. En route to rescuing Chun-Li, Guile is ambushed by one of Bison's cyborgs (in the same mold as Seth). Abel arrives and takes on the cyborg instead, telling Guile where Chun-Li is and telling him to hurry. Exactly how Chun-Li is then rescued is unclear - Gen seems to have protected her from a collapse and then broken free from the rubble, but is nowhere to be seen later as Guile and Abel watch the base explode, with an unconscious Chun-Li in Guile's arms.
After these events, Guile returns to Charlie's grave, placing a beer bottle on it as a way of buying his old friend a drink. He tells the grave that although S.I.N.'s plans have been foiled, he knows that he hasn't seen the last of Shadaloo just yet..[8]
Street Fighter V Edit
On October 2015, a datamining of Street Fighter V's PC beta test revealed fighter data and character meshes of Guile, Dhalsim, Juri, Urien, Alex, Ibuki and Balrog.[9][10] Dhalsim was later confirmed as a returning character and it was reasonably believed that Guile and the rest would be the first six additional DLC characters.[11] Guile and the rest of the characters were later confirmed as DLC at the PlayStation Experience on December 5th, 2015; Guile will be available in April.
Story Edit
At some point (in Charlie's prologue story), Charlie is standing in front of Chun-Li, Guile and Cammy.[12] In the main story, a revived Charlie is looking at a photograph of Guile.
Crossover appearances Edit
Capcom vs. SNK seriesEdit
Guile appeared as a playable character in Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000, Mark of the Millennium 2001/EO, SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium and SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.
Guile has a special introduction against Rugal Bernstein in the Capcom vs. SNK games where he cuts a statue of himself in half with a Sonic Boom before Rugal destroys the base with a Reppuuken. This is in reference to The King of Fighters '94 where Rugal had a statue the likeness of Guile among his various trophies (and given how he makes his "statues", this implies Rugal had fought Guile in their universe and used his body to create his statue).
Capcom Fighting EvolutionEdit
Guile also appeared playable in Capcom Fighting Evolution.
Street Fighter X TekkenEdit
Guile is a playable character in Street Fighter X Tekken, where he is paired with Abel. He is ordered to secure Pandora, and is called by Abel to get a ride to the South Pole in order to join him. Though Guile allows this, he orders Abel not to blow their cover - which he nearly does on several occasions.
During the cutscene before their rival battle against Heihachi and Kuma, Abel makes a "deal" with Heihachi, stating that they will take Kuma if they win - a proposition neither Guile nor Kuma particularly approve of. Guile is less than fond of bears, and is in no hurry to compromise his mission; Kuma and Heihachi, on the other hand, assumed Abel intended to eat the former (a running joke throughout the game), when in reality Abel simply wanted to pet him.
Once they defeat Ogre get to Pandora, Abel is mesmerized by Pandora's beauty, while Guile attempts to pull him back, saying they don't know whats inside Pandora, when the box opens and creates several "alien" copies of Kuma, which makes Abel come even closer, at which point Guile appears to give up on bringing back Abel and head back to the U.S.
Guile's ending after the credits shows he becomes world famous, and he appears to enjoy it all. However, due to Abel's actions during their journey to Pandora, Guile swears to never work with partners again - coincidentally, Abel's ending has him planning to call on Guile once more.
Live-action Movies and Series Edit
Street Fighter film Edit
Street Fighter: World WarriorEdit
Gulie will appear in Street Fighter: World Warrior, Joey Ansah has stated that he would like to have Scott Adkins as Guile.
Animations Edit
Street Fighter (TV series) Edit
Guile serves as the main protagonist of the Street Fighter animated series, and is depicted as the leader of an organization of Street Fighters consisting of himself, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Ken, T. Hawk, Cammy, Dee Jay, Fei Long and Dhalsim. M. Bison has survived his battle with Guile following the events of the film, and Guile's sole goal is to destroy Bison once and for all.
Street Fighter II: The Animated MovieEdit
Guile is assigned to work together with Chun-Li in order to take down Bison, whose organization Shadaloo (Shadowlaw in the English dub) has been kidnapping several martial artists and brainwashing them to do his evil bidding. Guile is at first far from happy to work with another person on the case, claiming loudly that "Bison's ass is mine", but a distinct friendship builds up between him and the Interpol agent.
The film follows Guile's plot from the video game in Guile tracking down Bison to avenge Charlie's death, and his vendetta is amplified when Chun-Li is severely beaten by Vega on Bison's orders. Near the end of the film, Guile manages to track Ryu down but is followed by Bison and a brainwashed Ken. Guile engages Bison in combat but is outmatched by the crime lord's overwhelming speed and only manages to damage his cape with a Sonic Boom. Bison then finishes the fight by blasting Guile down a chasm. Guile survives this, although exhausted and bloodied, and when Bison finds Guile, he decides to spare him as an insult, and leaves. Guile is rescued along with Balrog by E. Honda. In his final scene, Guile, fully recovered, is moved to tears when informed that Chun-Li survived Vega's attack.
Street Fighter II VEdit
In this TV series, Guile is a Technical Sergeant (E-6) in the U.S. Air Force, who spends most of his time training physically and who has great pride in the Air Force. He faces Ryu in a bar fight after Ryu and Ken beat up some of his men (although it was Guile's men who started the fight in the first place when Ken stole one of their dates). Guile easily defeats Ryu, only to face Ken, who challenges him in an air force base to avenge Ryu. Despite a severe hangover, Guile is able to defeat Ken, which motivates the duo to start a training journey and improve their martial art skills by challenging opponents around the world.
While in India, Ryu fights an imaginary Guile during a training session, but stops the fight and acknowledges his respect for the Sergeant for showing them how arrogant they were and inspiring them to travel the world. Later in the series, Guile is recruited by Ken's father along with his friend Charlie (who retains his Japanese name, Nash, in the dub) when Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li are taken captive by Shadaloo. He faces Zangief while infiltrating Bison's base, while Nash confronts Bison himself. Guile knocks Zangief out, but is unable to save Nash from Bison, who pits a brainwashed Chun-Li against the enraged Sergeant. Outside, Guile fights Chun-Li until Bison's demise snaps her out of her brainwashing, and he is last seen showing admiration for Ryu and Ken when they emerge unharmed from the battlefield.
Street Fighter IV: The Ties That BindEdit
Comics and MangaEdit
Udon ComicsEdit
Guile is given a central role alongside Chun-Li, particularly in the first arc but he also is a frequent cast member in later arcs. Similar to the official story, Guile is chasing after Shadaloo to discover the whereabouts of his Air Force buddy, Charlie Nash. Guile is first introduced to Charlie after his aircraft is shot down and Charlie commands a black-ops mission to rescue him. Like the official story, Charlie teaches Guile to fight. For the first arc of the comics, Guile spends his time looking for Ryu, believing to there to be a connection between him and Shadaloo. He traces him to the US and then back to Japan. While in Japan, he and Chun-Li engage a Shadaloo-controlled Charlie (codenamed "Agent Shadow") and fight him off. At the end of the first story arc, Charlie regains his senses and rejoins Chun-Li and Guile before they're attacked by M. Bison. Charlie unleashes his latent Psycho Power abilities and sacrifices himself to take out Bison (Charlie giving his own life to stop Bison echoes Guile's ending in Street Fighter Alpha 3), leaving Guile distraught and swearing vengeance against Shadaloo. Afterwards, Guile continues to assist Chun-Li in looking for Bison (whom they believe survived his encounter with Charlie) but all the while juggling his struggling relationship with his wife, Julia, and their daughter, Amy. Eventually the family reconciles at the end of the comic's second arc. Guile isn't heavily active during the second series of comics (Street Fighter II) but he is given an invitation to Bison's tournament, which he accepts as his final bid for vengeance. The final series (Street Fighter II Turbo) documents Guile's entry into M. Bison's fighting tournament. While on Shadaloo island, he is contacted by Cammy, who needs his help but cannot openly assist him as she is attempting to fool Bison into thinking she is under his control. Through a carefully woven set of scripted matches, Guile and Chun-Li get themselves eliminated from the tournament and successfully free the Delta Red squadron. Together they manage to locate and destroy Bison's Psycho Drive before evacuating the island as it sinks. The aftermath of the tournament show that Guile is satisfied with the results, believing he has successfully avenged Charlie, and is now comfortably living with his family.
Gameplay and fighting style Edit
Guile's overall style revolves around patiently anticipating the opponent's next move and attacking. He has a strong mix of solid offense and defense, combined with reliable agility and air grabs. However, if timed improperly, Guile himself could easily be baited into using his moves suddenly and be subject to sweeping and airborne attacks.
Guile's moveset has remained fairly consistent throughout his appearances compared to the rest of the cast - his only special moves are the Sonic Boom and Flash Kick. Both moves require a charge motion, thus, he requires a bit of skill and frequent use of certain situations such as jump-ins to make use of trying to integrate them into combos. Due to his more difficult standard offensive use, Guile is more known for trying to space his opponent more than trying to gain an offensive edge, so staying one step ahead and proper execution is vital.
Guile is known in particular for his various command normals and combo abilities, and is also one of the most notable characters in fighting games to have a double hitting sweep (though only one can hit unblocked).
Super/Ultra CombosEdit
Guile's signature Super Combo has been the Double Flash, sometimes better known as the Somersault/Flash Kick Strike; he performs 2 or 3 consecutive Flash Kicks in a row. Starting in Street Fighter Alpha 3, he also has the Sonic Hurricane, a short-range 'cyclone' projectile that traps the opponents if it hits; some games give it a bit of a vacuum effect.
In the Street Fighter EX series, Guile can use the Opening Gambit, which features consecutive punches with a finishing sideways Flash Kick. His Meteor Combo in the EX series is called Sonic Boom Typhoon; he creates a giant Sonic Boom tornado that inflicts a heavy amount of damage. In Capcom vs. SNK he gains another Super Combo called Total Wipeout, which allows him to perform consecutive punches that end with a final backhand punch that knocks the opponent away.
His Ultra Combos in Super Street Fighter IV are the Sonic Hurricane and the Flash Explosion, a Double Flash followed by one more Flash Kick to strike the opponent as they fall out of the air.
Popular Culture Edit
Stage ThemeEdit
Trivia Edit
- Guile shares many visual traits with Gunloc from Capcom's Slam Masters series.
- In Blade's ending in the arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie, he is revealed to be Gunloc, who in this continuity is Guile's brother.
- Guile is the only character in the Street Fighter IV to have two air throws.
- Guile's theme music in Street Fighter Alpha 3 bears a resemblance to A-ha's song "Take On Me".
- Guile only listens to country music, according to his win quote against Dee Jay in Super Street Fighter IV.
- Guile is apparently quite fond of chocolate, as learned by rival fighter C. Viper.
- Guile is one of the six characters from Street Fighter IV (the others being Cammy, C. Viper, Chun-Li, Ryu and Seth) to have second rivals in Super SFIV. His second rival is M. Bison.
- Guile's wife is called Jane in SFII series. Her name is later altered as Julia.
- Early official artwork shows Guile having only one tattoo, though in-game, due to character sprites' left and right sights being mirrored, he has them on both sides. In later years after this was noticed, the artwork shows him with tattoos on both shoulders.
- Ironically, this makes the tattoo correct and incorrect, as the U.S. soldiers sport a backwards American flag on their uniforms in the same location as Guile's tattoo (symbolic of the fact that a flag carried during a charge into battle would appear backwards as it flew behind its pole). This is contrary to the belief that the "correct" sprite is of Guile facing towards the left, which shows a forward-facing flag
- Guile is referenced in Project X Zone. In a pre-battle dialogue with Vashyron, Ken and Ryu states that they know a soldier who can use the Sonic Boom.
- Guile's ending in Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival seems to indicate that he was dreaming the entire time.
- In Guile's ending in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, when M. Bison tells Guile to kill him, rather than being stopped by his wife, Guile replies, "No. I'm not a murderer like you." Afterwards, three days later, Guile visits Charlie's grave, and then encounters Julia, who tells Guile to come back.
- Guile is the only character in the entire series to have only two special moves. Every other character has at least three.

exactly, didn't realize you already had a faucet. You'll want to install it as high as you can,
and will probably have to load the keg in then attach the faucet, but that's simple.

Brookings Papers on Economic Activity
Spring 2008
pp. 1-87 | 10.1353/eca.0.0001
The "Easterlin paradox" suggests that there is no link between a society's economic development and its average level of happiness. We reassess this paradox, analyzing multiple rich datasets spanning many decades. Using recent data on a broader array of countries, we establish a clear positive link between average levels of subjective well-being and GDP per capita across countries, and find no evidence of a satiation point beyond which wealthier countries have no further increases in subjective well-being. We show that the estimated relationship is consistent across many datasets and is similar to that between subjective well-being and income observed within countries. Finally, examining the relationship between changes in subjective well-being and income over time within countries, we find economic growth associated with rising happiness. Together these findings indicate a clear role for absolute income and a more limited role for relative income comparisons in determining happiness.

Best Spice Shop (2009)
Whether you're a cooking pro or get frightened by the sight of a frying pan, there's no doubt that your taste buds crave flavor. The only way to achieve that, subtly or otherwise, is to have the right ingredients or—better yet—the perfect spices that'll make your meal a memorable one. Kalustyan's carries every spice imaginable, as well as an impressive array of kitchenware. The long and narrow shop, which also houses a deli and seating area upstairs, is crowded with shelf upon shelf of assorted spices, honeys, chutneys, oils, beans, teas, and more. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but the helpful staff will guide you through it all. If you're looking for a generic type of curry or honey, then your typical grocery store will do, but at Kalustyan's, a seemingly simple request for these ingredients will yield curries with the zest of West India, Jamaica, Singapore, or Malaysia (among others) and honeys made of raspberries, blueberries, ambrosia, chestnuts, and citrus. Next time you're asked to contribute something to a dinner party, nonchalantly offer to buy whatever spice is needed, because you're guaranteed to find even the most obscure ingredients at Kalustyan's.

19 Mar 2013
While some commercial landlords have to find smart ways to retain tenants, what with the rising costs of electricity and sluggish economy, some landlords are focusing on fully-serviced office properties offering flexible lease agreement terms.
Last month in Johannesburg, The Business Centre opened its fifth property, the R45m Broadacres office property which measures 2 500 square metres offering 86 offices and 238 work stations.
In Cape Town, Cube Workspace situated on Floors 1, 2 and 3 in the Icon Building located on Corner Long Street & Hans Strydom Avenue is changing the face of workspace offering a chic, trendy office environment which is quickly becoming a norm for many, says chief executive officer, Anthony Manas.
He explains that they invested R60 million into the 2 200 square metre space furnishing it with the state-of-the-art technology to ensure the perfect office space.
According to Manas, Cube Workspace offers entry level or executive office workspace solutions for the single user or larger businesses.
With Cape Town now on the flexible office solution map (and Johannesburg to follow) Cube Workspace has created a customised and value-added integrated workspace environment to cater to the needs of both entrepreneurs and organisations alike, he says.
"Having researched the needs of business owners and start-ups, we have identified the evolution of the office space from fixed to more modern, flexible, custom environments with the demand for immediate-occupation spaces which provide the ingredients for excellence in creativity and productivity," says Manas.
Inside Cube Workspace
Catering to the demand for meetings space, Cube Workspace meeting rooms are available on a flexible, hourly or package rate, complete with advanced audio-visual technology and equipment to host productive and creative meetings, explains Manas.
Cube Workspace offers a fully-serviced high-end furnished office space environments combined with the built-in convenience of an instant professional business structure.
He says in researching the full operational needs of a business owner, they also included the "virtual office" concept that ensures mobility and seamless business operations with email to dedicated telephone numbers and courier access as well as flexible meeting and boardroom access.
"We want to offer a modern lifestyle to employees, allowing a productive, creative and modern workspace in which they can maximise their capabilities.
"To business owners, Cube Workspace presents convenience, customisation and a massive saving on operation costs, all in an aesthetically modern location and we see this as an evolution of the productive workspace, for the productive employee," he says.
Asked what is special about these offices, he says, Cube Workspace differs from traditional office properties, essentially offering productivity and convenience at your fingertips as each workspace can be customised.
He says the structure of each workspace and each room has a template of sizes with luxurious and ergonomically-designed furniture, along with the convenience of add-on amenities including a welcome area, group receptionist and office concierge as well as state-of-the art meeting rooms, canteen and a combined utility bill of electricity, internet, air-conditioning and telecommunications.
"It is indeed a new trend whereby the workforce of employers and employees alike welcome workspace that is productive, tailor-made and offers a more relaxed, mobile and flexible working lifestyle."
Business owners also have the opportunity to streamline their operations and financial management with the combined utility bills, which will allow them to focus more on growing their business, says Manas.
Renting office space
According to Manas, Cube Workspace is suitable for small to medium-size business owners requiring a flexible short and long term lease, with the benefit of convenience, luxury furnishings and technology all included.
There are also opportunities for companies needing to relocate to Cape Town for a brief working period, such as an event or pitch and who require short-term, fully equipped office space, he says.
Cube Workspace offers 100 desks with the opportunity to extend offices for a larger suite, if need be.
The rental periods are very flexible from three, six, 12 and 18 month periods or negotiable if there is a temporary lease period requirement, points out Manas.
"Our current rental structure for the Cape Town launch includes a platinum package included for free should a 12 month or longer lease be signed.
"The value of this is R1 500 per person per month," he says.
Cube Workspace will open branches in Johannesburg suburbs of Kyalami and Bryanston this year.
"Cube Workspace aims to bridge the gap between the creative and the productive workspace, offering employers a convenient, seamless and cost-effective workspace in which employees can work in a hub of creative excellence," he adds. – Denise Mhlanga

We stayed in this hotel while moving cross-country with our two cats -- and it was perfect. The room was large, updated, and very comfortable. The bedroom portion was carpeted, but the other half of the room, including the entryway, closet, kitchenette, and bathroom, was not -- which made it perfect for pet set-up. The parking lot is large, and it feels well-lit and very safe, even for late night arrival.
We're only sorry we didn't find this gem until we were leaving the region -- its modern style, efficient service, and impeccable cleanliness would make it a great go-to hotel for us, even when traveling without the cats. Highly recommended!

When you are so sad, there is no agression, but only friendlyness ...
It's a nice thinking. In a way, the image looks very ordinary and expressive at the same time. Very well captured.

I haven't posted in this group in quite a while, but as things get tough, I find myself back here. Quick recap...my son is 3.2 yrs old. He was evaluated by EI at 2.2 yrs old and determined to have apraxia. He has been in speech therapy since then and at 3 yrs, he aged out of EI and started special education preschool. He receives speech through the school 4 days per week for 20 min each time plus extended school year. He is also in private speech for an additional day for an hour.
He is doing great! 6 months ago he had 2 words, mama and dada. Now he has over 100 words although not all spontaneous. He is making gains in therapy and tries sooooo hard every day. However, even as far as he has come, I feel overwhelmed with the MILES more he has to go!
This is where I keep reminding myself that this is a marathon, not a sprint. It feels as though the end is no where in sight. In context, I can understand about 80% of what he says. Out of context 5%.
Our biggest struggle right now is the eeeeee sound. Such as in the word bee. It comes out sounding strained, nasally, and very forced. We have him smile to say it, but it's not right. He CANNOT put a consonant before or after the eeee sound. So he can't say me or mommy. This is affecting his intelligibility enormously. Its as if his tongue is pushing against the roof of his mouth during the sound when it should be down.
Any suggestions on how to work with this sound!

he's a complete loon. Notice his answer to me. Such paranoia! True sign of denial as to who and what he is.
Claims I am a earlier poster?? Driving past his house? No he's not that important. He needs to get some mental help' he's slipping further and further into a nervous breakdown. He should just stop , try some self control and start with refraining from cursing. Again, i wonder if Jackie knows about his obsession with posting stupidity?--and yes, I come to mass to watch him (:-- he's such a fabulous EM- especially with the toddlers
Dispensing communion to them (: and then berating the mothers after mass!
You can't make this stuff up folks!
#2633 Jun 24, 2012
Losing touch again, Itchy? Posting the same thing on successive days? And both times a rambling, incoherent and totally delusional rant.
And let me explain something to you. Reading a blog or posting in a forum does not constitute stalking. When you post your unending stream of b*****t, it's available for anyone to read. I would expect, however, that you're really much too stupid to understand that concept.
#2634 Jun 24, 2012
Interesting that you keep denying your former identities of "Servant" and "Servant of Michael." (I've got the IP addresses for your past and current identities ... and they match.) Remember when you started the whole Anthony thing last year? Guess you've conveniently forgotten that. Part of the deluded world you live in, I guess. Must be caused by that whole pedophilia thing you've been obsessing about.
And remember, Frank, I said "mental" masturbation. You're getting all excited again.
#2635 Jun 24, 2012
Frank, this "Loon" doesn't realize that he had made this claim against you, and here he tries to sanction his own stalking??????
To try to have dialogue with one as mentally deranged as he/she,
will only contaminate you, even though he is 100% wrong:
State Cyberstalking and Cyberharassment Laws
(Does not include cyberbullying laws. See NCSL's cyberbullying page.)
Last update: March 23, 2012
PLEASE NOTE: The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) serves state legislators and their staff. This site provides comparative information only and should not be construed as legal advice. NCSL cannot provide assistance with individual cases.
Many states have enacted "cyberstalking" or "cyberharassment" laws or have laws that explicitly include electronic forms of communication within more traditional stalking or harassment laws. In addition, recent concerns about protecting minors from online bullying or harassment have led states to enact "cyberbullying" laws. This chart identifies only state laws that include specific references to electronic communication. However, other state laws may still apply to those who harass, threaten or bully others online, although specific language may make the laws easier to enforce. This chart classifies the various state laws addressing these three different types of online behaviors, as described below.
Cyberstalking. Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet, email or other electronic communications to stalk, and generally refers to a pattern of threatening or malicious behaviors. Cyberstalking may be considered the most dangerous of the three types of Internet harassment, based on a posing credible threat of harm. Sanctions range from misdemeanors to felonies.
Cyberharassment. Cyberharassment differs from cyberstalking in that it is generally defined as not involving a credible threat. Cyberharassment usually pertains to threatening or harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or websites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual. Some states approach cyberharrassment by including language addressing electronic communications in general harassment statutes, while others have created stand-alone cyberharassment statutes.
There is nothing more need said about this Frank the above give the laws including :
New York
New York Penal Law § 240.30
<IGNORE FALSE CATHOLIC, "Itchy Watch">
#2636 Jun 24, 2012
Frank, I guess he has admitted to "Stalking you", as he has admitted to looking for your IP address, which there is a record for anyone that does those type of investigations, or stalkings.

Today bring to Me all Devout and Faithful Souls,
and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were a drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

He's a desperate confused man. But, still praying for a Full recovery for him
What else can we do?? He has moments whereby he won't post, and the a barrage of nonsense.
#2643 Jun 26, 2012
I agree Frank, and I know that everything that has been tried has not worked, and only our Lord can save him, as he is truly blind to what he has become, and the extremely bad example he has been setting.

Pope Benedict XVI thumps Protestants, and Modernist, Liberal, Catholics
Don't panic Liberal, Modernist Catholics, you can always find a home in the Protestant church where your heart really is. As long as you worship and love our Lord Jesus, and stop trying to reinvent the Catholic church, you will always be welcomed in the Catholic church again, as long as you conform to its 2000 years of teachings, and truly love the Catholic church. JMHO
#2647 Jun 28, 2012
Hilarious, Itchy. All this proves is that you can cut and paste. You don't have the slightest idea what any of it means, you ignorant old fool.
#2648 Jun 28, 2012
If anyone can recognize nonsense, Frank, it's you. We've been reading your bull**** for almost a year now. And you're still in constant denial about your prior identities. Just like Itchy.
#2649 Jun 28, 2012
Frank, I assume you had read my post re "Cyber stalking" as it applies to "Itchy Watch". and he calls me "Ignorant"?????? LOL
#2651 Jun 29, 2012
If the shoe fits, Itchy...
#2652 Jun 29, 2012
#2654 Jun 29, 2012
There you go being judgmental again, Itchy. How very arrogant. How very hypocritical. How very non-catholic of you.
#2656 Jun 29, 2012
He's a empty soul searching for attention. He's tried stalking, cursing, denial and imbecilic behavior .
Pray for him and his suffering family

Agree, gnite Frank.

Writing is a powerful means of knowing—as a practice it forces us to see, to make, and to reflect. In the midst of a culture that increasingly uses language to manipulate and deaden our experience of being human, becoming a good writer—of a poem or an essay or a memo—can be a challenge. This program provides a way for writers to explore many kinds of writing and literature and work on both expressiveness and craft in a supportive community.
The design of the writing and literature major is based on several crucial assumptions. One is that writers need to be readers—avid and incisive readers. Therefore, most courses in the major combine the study of literature with the practice of both creative and critical writing, and students are required to take specific courses that emphasize reading skills and critical approaches to literature. Our curriculum encourages students to investigate texts from a global perspective that includes both "popular" and "classical" literature.
Another assumption is that today, more than ever, writers often need to practice in more than one genre. The major offers a number of craft courses in non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and screenwriting, and is designed to provide breadth of experience as well as depth. As students move into advanced courses, they may focus on one genre, such as poetry or screenwriting, or work across genres. Self-designed learning activities may be substituted for electives in order to give students the opportunity to add depth and refinement to their craft or to experiment with the boundaries between genres.
Writing is a way into the world—both a means of thinking and communicating. At Burlington College we expect students to learn to write in clear and reasoned prose, even as they may be working on wild experiments or exploring intuitive connections between images or writing a comic screenplay. All students learn researching skills and ways to transform information and ideas into thoughtful writing. Regular faculty and visiting writers are practicing writers and scholars, and readings and publishing opportunities happen on a regular basis. Required internships also encourage students to explore how they can be "writers in the real world."
Graduates of the program often go on to further study and/or careers in teaching, publishing, the non-profit sector, and media. Those who combine writing with other disciplines, such as transpersonal psychology, the arts, or film, can pursue careers such as expressive arts, Web publishing/design, screenwriting, or counseling.
All students are required to complete an upper-level internship in the major; typical placements include settings such as museums, newspapers, magazines, libraries, arts programs, and schools. Each student also undertakes a 6-credit capstone Degree Project in the last two semesters to produce a substantial piece of creative work accompanied by a reflective essay that explores technical, aesthetic, personal, and social contexts of the work.
Every Bachelor of Arts degree candidate must complete Burlington College's General Education requirements and earn 121 credits to achieve a degree. The following course requirements are specific to the Writing and Literature major. Other coursework may be substituted with permission of academic advisor. All courses are 3-credits unless otherwise noted.Intermediate Level: 18 credits

Not that long ago AMD announced their FX-9370 and FX-9590 processors. The big thing with these processors was that the FX-9590 featured a turbo boost of 5 GHz. It was the first processor ever to have a stock turbo boost speed that high. Being that both of these chips have high clock speeds their TDP's were quite high as well. Many people who purchased these chips installed them with a good closed-loop watercooler or installed a full water cooling system.
Oct 11, 2013 Bob Buskirk All News, Hardware News 0
EK Water Blocks has announced that their existing EK-FC series water blocks are compatible with the majority of AMD Radeon R9 280X graphics cards that were recently launched. This is because the Radeon R9 280X is based on the same Tahiti XT GPU that was used on the Radeon HD 7970 and HD 7950. So many card manufacturers have simply re-used the existing board design, most commonly known as AMD's reference design (109-C38637).

Article: A PEGylated analog of the gut hormone oxyntomodulin with long-lasting antihyperglycemic, insulinotropic and anorexigenic activity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Peptide agonists of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP1R) are rapidly gaining favor as antidiabetic agents, since in addition to increasing glucose-dependent insulin secretion, they also cause weight loss. Oxyntomodulin (OXM), a natural peptide with sequence homology to both glucagon and GLP-1, has glucose-lowering activity in rodents and anorectic activity in rodents and humans, but its clinical utility is limited by a short circulatory half-life due to rapid renal clearance and degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). Here, we describe the development of a novel DPP-IV-resistant, long-acting GLP1R agonist, based on derivatization of a suitably chosen OXM analog with high molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) ('PEGylation'). PEG-OXM exerts an anti-hyperglycemic effect in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice in a glucose-dependent manner, with a maximally efficacious dose of 0.1mg/kg, and reduces food intake and body weight with a minimally efficacious dose of 1mg/kg. If this pharmacology is recapitulated in patients with type 2 diabetes, these results indicate PEG-OXM as a potential novel once-weekly GLP-1 mimetic with both glucose-lowering activity and weight loss efficacy.
Article: Optimization of co-agonism at GLP-1 and glucagon receptors to safely maximize weight reduction in DIO-rodents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ratio of GLP-1/glucagon receptor (GLP1R/GCGR) co-agonism that achieves maximal weight loss without evidence of hyperglycemia was determined in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice chronically treated with GLP1R/GCGR co-agonist peptides differing in their relative receptor agonism. Using glucagon-based peptides, a spectrum of receptor selectivity was achieved by a combination of selective incorporation of GLP-1 sequences, C-terminal modification, backbone lactam stapling to stabilize helical structure, and unnatural amino acid substitutions at the N-terminal dipeptide. In addition to α-amino-isobutyric acid (Aib) substitution at position two, we show that α,α'-dimethyl imidazole acetic acid (Dmia) can serve as a potent replacement for the highly conserved histidine at position one. Selective site-specific pegylation was used to further minimize enzymatic degradation and provide uniform, extended in vivo duration of action. Maximal weight loss devoid of any sign of hyperglycemia was achieved with a co-agonist comparably balanced for in vitro potency at murine GLP1R and GCGR. This peptide exhibited superior weight loss and glucose lowering compared to a structurally matched pure GLP1R agonist, and to co-agonists of relatively reduced GCGR tone. Any further enhancement of the relative GCGR agonist potency yielded increased weight loss but at the expense of elevated blood glucose. We conclude that GCGR agonism concomitant with GLP1R agonism constitutes a promising approach to treatment of the metabolic syndrome. However, the relative ratio of GLP1R/GCGR co-agonism needs to be carefully chosen for each species to maximize weight loss efficacy and minimize hyperglycemia. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers (Pept Sci) 98: 443-450, 2012.
Article: The Glucagon Receptor Is Involved in Mediating the Body Weight-Lowering Effects of Oxyntomodulin[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a peptide secreted postprandially from the L-cells of the gut that has a weak affinity for both the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) and the glucagon receptor (GCGR). Peripheral administration of OXM in humans and rodents causes weight loss reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure. It has been suggested that OXM modulates energy intake solely through GLP1R agonism. Because glucagon decreases food intake in rodents and humans, we examined whether activation of the GCGR is involved in the body weight-lowering effects of OXM. We identified an equipotent GLP1R-selective peptide agonist that differs from OXM by only one residue (Q3→E, OXMQ3E), but has no significant GCGR agonist activity in vitro and ~100-fold reduced ability to stimulate liver glycogenolysis. Chronic treatment of obese mice with OXM and OXMQ3E demonstrated that OXM exhibits superior weight loss and lipid-lowering efficacy, and antihyperglycemic activity that is comparable to the corresponding GLP1R-selective agonist. Studies in Glp1r(-/-) mice and coadministration of OXM and a GCGR antagonist revealed that the antiobesity effect of OXM requires activation of both GLP1R and GCGR. Our data provide new insight into the mechanism of action of OXM and suggest that activation of GCGR is involved in the body weight-lowering action of OXM.

ABSTRACT: Obesity is one of the major risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and the development of agents, that can simultaneously achieve glucose control and weight loss, is being actively pursued. Therapies based on peptide mimetics of the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are rapidly gaining favor, due to their ability to increase insulin secretion in a strictly glucose-dependent manner, with little or no risk of hypoglycemia, and to their additional benefit of causing a modest, but durable weight loss. Oxyntomodulin (OXM), a 37-amino acid peptide hormone of the glucagon (GCG) family with dual agonistic activity on both the GLP-1 (GLP1R) and the GCG (GCGR) receptors, has been shown to reduce food intake and body weight in humans, with a lower incidence of treatment-associated nausea than GLP-1 mimetics. As for other peptide hormones, its clinical application is limited by the short circulatory half-life, a major component of which is cleavage by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). SAR studies on OXM, described herein, led to the identification of molecules resistant to DPP-IV degradation, with increased potency as compared to the natural hormone. Analogs derivatized with a cholesterol moiety display increased duration of action in vivo. Moreover, we identified a single substitution which can change the OXM pharmacological profile from a dual GLP1R/GCGR agonist to a selective GLP1R agonist. The latter finding enabled studies, described in detail in a separate study (Pocai A, Carrington PE, Adams JR, Wright M, Eiermann G, Zhu L, Du X, Petrov A, Lassman ME, Jiang G, Liu F, Miller C, Tota LM, Zhou G, Zhang X, Sountis MM, Santoprete A, Capitò E, Chicchi GG, Thornberry N, Bianchi E, Pessi A, Marsh DJ, SinhaRoy R. Glucagon-like peptide 1/glucagon receptor dual agonism reverses obesity in mice. Diabetes 2009; 58: 2258-2266), which highlight the potential of GLP1R/GCGR dual agonists as a potentially superior class of therapeutics over the pure GLP1R agonists currently in clinical use.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oxyntomodulin (OXM) is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP1R)/glucagon receptor (GCGR) dual agonist peptide that reduces body weight in obese subjects through increased energy expenditure and decreased energy intake. The metabolic effects of OXM have been attributed primarily to GLP1R agonism. We examined whether a long acting GLP1R/GCGR dual agonist peptide exerts metabolic effects in diet-induced obese mice that are distinct from those obtained with a GLP1R-selective agonist. We developed a protease-resistant dual GLP1R/GCGR agonist, DualAG, and a corresponding GLP1R-selective agonist, GLPAG, matched for GLP1R agonist potency and pharmacokinetics. The metabolic effects of these two peptides with respect to weight loss, caloric reduction, glucose control, and lipid lowering, were compared upon chronic dosing in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Acute studies in DIO mice revealed metabolic pathways that were modulated independent of weight loss. Studies in Glp1r(-/-) and Gcgr(-/-) mice enabled delineation of the contribution of GLP1R versus GCGR activation to the pharmacology of DualAG. Peptide DualAG exhibits superior weight loss, lipid-lowering activity, and antihyperglycemic efficacy comparable to GLPAG. Improvements in plasma metabolic parameters including insulin, leptin, and adiponectin were more pronounced upon chronic treatment with DualAG than with GLPAG. Dual receptor agonism also increased fatty acid oxidation and reduced hepatic steatosis in DIO mice. The antiobesity effects of DualAG require activation of both GLP1R and GCGR. Sustained GLP1R/GCGR dual agonism reverses obesity in DIO mice and is a novel therapeutic approach to the treatment of obesity.

Best Place to Buy an Engagement Ring (2002)
Tiffany & Co.
Eleanor Roosevelt's solitaire came from Tiffany's; Dennis Oppenheim created a sculpture in New York based on their engagement ring designs; George Peppard had a plastic ring from a box of Cracker Jack engraved by them in the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. Since 1837, these experts have been dealing in rings and diamonds and little blue boxes with white ribbon. There is no known account of a woman declining a proposal accompanied by that box. Pricey? Certainly. But she's worth it.

I purchased this dryer at a very low price from TJ Maxx because I've heard a lot of good things about tourmaline/ceramic/ionic technology. Well, it pretty much does what a hairdryer does, it dries your hair. Other than that, I wasn't really impressed. The folding handle is convenient since I live in a tiny apartment with limited storage space. However the dryer only has 1 heat setting and then two power settings, high and low. High is waaaaaay too high. My hair gets blown all over the place and gets tangled in the process. The low setting is uselessly low. Also, the labeling started rubbing off a few weeks after I started using it, so now, you can't even tell where the high and low indicators are. Not very high-quality manufacturing. I wouldn't purchase this again and wish I would have stuck with my Revlon RV544 Tourmaline Ionic Dryer which I gave away because I thought this one would be better. Wrong!
