Overhead Problems
You've probably heard the story. Fed up, a flight attendant tells passengers what he really thinks of them, grabs a beer, presses the button for the emergency chute, and leaves the plane. The overhead storage bin might have been the reason.
Overhead bins create frustration for everyone. They increase boarding delays. A cascading overflow can be dangerous when doors pop open. Attendants have to restrain impatient fliers from grabbing a bag before the plane has stopped. A cost saving fast turnaround for aircraft is delayed by passengers having to retrieve their paraphernalia. Deplaning is agonizingly slow.
An economist would disagree with a NY Times solution: "Carry-Ons and Courtesy Need to Co-Exist". Instead, incentives have to change. Because checked baggage generates huge revenue, airlines have the incentive to charge. Responding, passengers have the incentive to take more onboard. One solution? Spirit is charging for carry-ons. Your opinion?
The Economic Lesson
Two economic concepts explain the problem:
1) The fallacy of composition states that what is good for one is bad when everyone does it. An example is fleeing from a fire in a crowded movie theater. One person, alone, can quickly leave but everyone together cannot. Similarly, one person can enjoy the plane's overhead bin but everyone together cannot. When airlines decided to charge for checked luggage, they worsened the fallacy of composition.
2) A negative externality is a cost to a third party because of the unrelated agreement between 2 other individuals. Here, the airline agrees with you or me that it is okay to bring baggage onboard. The result, though, is a cost to other passengers and the flight staff. On an aircraft, the negative externalities multiply geometrically because everyone is creating them.
6 Responses to Overhead Problems
I don't think there should be a fee for carry-ons; the cost of travel is already high. Another way to create incentive to check luggage is to lower the price. The article says that checking baggage already "generates huge revenue," so airlines can probably afford to lower the price a bit.
I agree with Ali when she says that there should be a fee to bring bags on the plane. A lot of the frustration that come with the overhead bins is due to the large bags the people bring on the plane so they don't have to pay for checked luggage. If you have to pay for the bins, maybe people would be more inclined to check their over sized bags which would free up space for smaller luggage.
I agree that there are two ways to look at this situation. On one hand, flying is already very expensive for people, including the price of the ticket and the checked baggage, and adding another price for carry-ons would only make travelers unhappy; it might even make less people willing to fly. On the other hand, charging people for carry-ons would eliminate the problem of people trying to bend the rules and take all of their baggage on the plane with them, causing a dangerous situation if the doors should open and crowding the plane with their bags.
-Gabby S.
I agree with Ali that there are pros and cons for the bins, but I am not sure that a fee for carry-ons is a perfect solution. Passangers would be more likely to bring one larger carry-on, paying only for one bag but still taking up a large amount of space. Also, people probably wouldn't shop in the airports knowing they would have to pay to bring it on board, therefore decreasing airport revenue.
I see the reasoning behind charging for carry-ons especially because traveling is now an all day affair and not just a couple of hours but I am not so sure I agree with charging for carry-ons. Akaiser said that people should only bring what they need onto the plane but need can depend on where they are going and what their schedule looks like when they get there. Need can also be easily confused with want when people are packing, for example some people may want to lessen the risk of losing their baggage but they may not need to bring their entire wardrobe onto the plane if they are not in a rush when they arrive at their destination.
There are pros and cons for overhead bins on airplanes. Even though they increase boarding delays and are dangerous when the doors suddenly open, they allow people to save money and also save time by not having to check luggage in at the airport and go to the baggage claim once landing. However, to lessen the negative side of carry-ons, there should be a fee so that people only bring what they actually need to bring on a plane. Charging people to bring carry-on should solve the problem of those who try to bring as much luggage onto the airplane as they can to avoid the check-bag fees.

A Greenwood man will work nights and weekends for free for at least the next several months, but his goal is for a future career.
Adam Bandy, 25, wants to be a full-time police officer, but he'll work for free first.
Bandy is one of the Greenwood Police Department's five reserve officers and is in training to patrol Greenwood's streets. He'll work as much as he can until he's fully trained, and after that he'll work regular shifts as a road officer when he's available.
The department started its reserve officer program this year, going through about 50 applications to fill four positions. The department had a reserve program more than 20 years ago, and Chief John Laut brought it back this year to get backup help because the department couldn't afford to hire more full-time officers.
The difference between Bandy's job as a reserve officer and a full-time patrol officer is that Bandy won't be paid, and he will only work as he has time.
This year, Bandy will do field training, driving a patrol car with a veteran Greenwood officer. The veteran will teach him, for example, how to lecture fighting couples on problem resolution, how to file a police report and how to block traffic correctly so cars can't drive through a crash scene, assistant chief Matthew Fillenwarth said.
When Bandy and one other reserve officer are qualified to work regular 12-hour shifts, they will be assigned cars and will stop speeding motorists and respond to 911 calls with the paid officers.
But since he's an unpaid volunteer, Bandy also will keep his job at the Johnson County jail and serve as a reserve officer after work.
The police department will pay at least $3,000 per reserve patrol officer for gear such as a bulletproof vest, Taser, gun and winter and summer uniforms. Reserve officers do not get paid or receive benefits, such as health insurance, through the police department.
Bandy wants to work as many 12-hour shifts as he can once he's trained, he said. The training and experience will get him a full-time job as a patrolman somewhere, hopefully in Greenwood, Bandy said.
For a year or so, Bandy and the other reserve patrol officer, Charles Moyer of Camby, will work full-time jobs and spend nights and weekends training with the Greenwood police. Currently, they can only direct traffic.
His work as a reserve officer will provide experience with the equipment and, he hopes, the people he will be working with long term, Bandy said.
Having two jobs — at the jail and as a reserve officer — is worth it to him because of the experience and the service he'll be able to offer the community, he said.
"As a police officer, you're born to do it or you're not," Bandy said. "It's like an overall win because you're volunteering your time, and you're improving the community at the same time."
Bandy and Moyer will be patrol officers. Two other reserve officers are part-time, paid guards at city hall. The city hall guards are retired Greenwood police officers, and they work as reserves when asked.
The reserve officer program won't help the police department much for several years, Fillenwarth said. A paid officer works 160 hours in a pay cycle, while a reserve may end up working 24 hours. A volunteer can't come close to replacing a full-time position, he said.
"That's one thing we don't have, and that's help around here. We'll take what we can get," Fillenwarth said.
All of the reserves will have the power to make arrests, even when they're not working, just like full-time officers, Fillenwarth said. The reserve officers are approved by the police merit board like other officers, and their training will make them qualified to make arrests if needed. If angry residents carry a weapon into city hall, the reserve officer on duty could arrest them.
The current watch commander in the police station lobby is also a reserve officer who is able to carry a gun and make arrests, though his paid duties are as a civilian, writing police reports for residents who come into the police station to report non-emergencies, such as an abandoned car in a neighborhood, and doing fingerprinting for background checks.
Bandy and Moyer are the only reserves who don't also work paid jobs for the city.
"Every body helps. Right now, the reserve program is pretty darn small, and it's not much of a supplement," Fillenwarth said. "Our goal right now is just to get it going."
Q&A with a Greenwood reserve officer
Harold File
Name: Robert Harold
Age: 70
Residence: Greenwood
Positions: Security guard for the Greenwood City Center and reserve officer for the Greenwood Police Department
Reporter Kate Knable sat down with Greenwood Police Department reserve officer Robert Harold to learn more about his job:
What are your current duties?
To watch and observe people as they come into the city building. The front entrance is the only entrance that isn't locked during the day. From the front desk, you can see what's going on. Walk through the building at least once a day, around the exterior of the building a few times a day and lock city hall at night. Eventually, guards will monitor cameras in the rest of the building and parking lot. Also, direct traffic during events, such as Freedom Fest, when asked.
Carry a gun as a reserve officer and as a security guard.
Security guards are paid. Reserve officers are not.
When do you work?
Reserve officers work when the chief asks them to work.
As a security guard, he and another guard alternate working two or three days per week. When city boards meet in the evenings, each officer works a half-day.
Has anything happened that required you to write a police report at city hall?
No. City hall hasn't been open that long.
What's your law enforcement background?
Was a full-time police officer for 27 years. Retired from the Greenwood Police Department in 1999.
Two years before that, was a reserve officer who had the same training and powers as a full-time officer. Worked 12-hour shifts while full-time officers were on vacation or directed traffic for parades.
What did you do before going back to work for Greenwood?
Spent 10 years working for St. Vincent Heart Center in Indianapolis. Started its security program by installing video cameras and hiring six guards. Retired in March 2013.
Why did you return to the Greenwood Police Department?
Got tired of doing nothing and decided to do something.

Fish and Chips
From Martha Stewart
Fish and Chips
2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound), scrubbed
Four 6-ounce sea bass or cod fillets (about 1 inch thick), skin removed
For the seasoning:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
For the coating
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon paprika
For the garnish
Lemon wedges
Malt vinegar
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Rinse well in a large bowl of cold water, and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; toss well. Arrange strips in an even layer on the sheet. Bake on lower rack until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place fish fillets in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, and gently turn fish to coat.
- In another shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, paprika, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add fillets to cornmeal one at a time, turning to completely coat. Transfer to a plate while repeating with remaining fillets.
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining tablespoon of oil; swirl to coat. Add fillets, being careful not to overcrowd pan. Cook until nicely crusted, about 1 minute; turn over with a spatula.
- Place skillet in top third of oven, and cook until firm but beginning to flake when pressed in the center, about 8 minutes.
- Transfer to plates, and serve with potatoes. Serve lemon wedges and malt vinegar on the side.
Serves 4.

Of Tiffany in "Silver Linings Playbook" Lawrence said: "I loved that she was so real. I loved her strengths as well as her weaknesses." Accepting the offer to play opposite Oscar-winner Robert DeNiro and nominee Jacki Weaver, she said that "it's really rare that saying yes to something will change your life" as much as Russell's film has for her. "Most of my favorite performances from my favorite movies" are from the director's films, she said.
Looking ahead to her upcoming projects, Lawrence singled out "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," the second installment in the franchise that has her reprising her role of Katniss Everdeen. "It's a character I love and a story with a message that I'm passionate about," she disclosed, although she contends that "I still think of myself as an indie actor."
As for her two Academy Award nominations, "it's overwhelming, but it's an honor," she said. "It's like getting a promotion at your job. My dreams have come true." This second time around, when she's better positioned to win the Best Actress Oscar, Lawrence acknowledged the process was less daunting: "The first time it was terrifying, but I did it one time so I can do it again."

In LOVE!
After many hours of research we finally decided to go with the King Creek 4, a huge upgrade from our box store purchase 5 years ago! We had the tent up in less than 10 minutes, its so easy and so big. Our first trip out we had a severe thunderstorm with hard driving rain. We stayed in the extended vestibule the whole time it was great. The only time we saw water in the vestibule was when it started to pool on the ground because of the open bottom. I am in love with this tent great for two people and a dog!
This tent is awesome
This tent is great for someone looking for a nice, well constructed tent with great room to move around camping with 2 to 3 people, with decent space for 4. The interior of the tent is a very nice space but the space under the rain fly alone could provide room for any tag alongs you might have on your car camping expedition. Haven't had any problems with it. Great choice for a 4 man tent
Big Agnes - Big Fun
I needed a new car camping tent. I purchased the tent because of the size, the bonus is the additional vestibule space. I always wanted to bring stuff into the tent now I can bring it into the vestibule. Nothing is in the way and when we are out on the river we can put some of the gear that we don't want to leave out in the new space. SWEEET!
how can i wash my big agnus tent.? it...
how can i wash my big agnus tent.? it smells like our dog!

Yes with "Tech Wash from Nikwax"...but you need to start dry it before you stored it!

We have come to the outer banks for 7 years now. Ganavan Sands was so nice. We were afraid we were going to be crowded. That was not the case here, there was so much room, right across from the beach access. We all had a great time. I brought my son and his new wife, It was there honeymoon. Not everyone takes their mother and father on their honeymoon with them but they loved it and have booked a place for next year! the Sampsons

"Very enjoyable and comfortable beach house"
Do not judge a book by it's cover! While the exterior of this house needs lots of TLC, everything inside plus the fabulous location make this one of the best beach houses we have ever rented. The spacious kitchen has evidently been recently updated, is reasonably well equipped and is open to the living room. The long dining room table easily sat 8, and we were able to squeeze in 10 a couple of times.
Two BRs up stairs share a well equipped bathroom with full tub; downstairs are two more bedrooms plus a bonus room with two twins, the second full bathroom (shower only), a second living area equipped with a large projection TV, a wet bar area, small table (perfect for card games!), and another room with ping pong table, plus the laundry room. The small steps leading in/out of the laundry room are trip hazards - watch out! The outside shower was spacious and offered a nice shower head. Lots of parking, a well worn deck, a nice gas grill, and beach access across the street complete the package. We had a great week and hope to be back in the future.

"Delightful Beach Cottage!"
My Mom, sisters, daughter and I stayed in this beautiful cottage for a 5-day off-season get away. It is a beautifully decorated and well-appointed cottage (large kitchen with plenty of plates, glasses, cutlery, etc.). It actually has 5 bedrooms rather than 4, with the 5th bedroom housing two single beds.
The ping-pong room, card table, and multiple TVs provided hours of enjoyment for all of us. We even enjoyed several warm, beautiful days on the front porch rockers -- in November! We loved the sunny breakfast room, too!
The owners have done a great job with the renovations. They made the most out of every nook and cranny. This would be an excellent beach house for any family of any age. We will definitely be back in future years!

I have been coming to emerald isle for many years and have loved every place we ever rented from you. I always come with my mother and father, they are getting on in years so the time we spend there together is priceless. This year we were able to bring our new dog, a rescue dog that my parents love dearly. She is now a part of our family and Ganavan Sands was the perfect plaace for us to renew our spirits, to be still and know that God is in control and has blessed us over the years, not with material things but our bonds with each other and your beautiful house was the perfect place.

this was my 4th year at EI but my 1st year at Ganavan Sands - we ended up deciding to get married while on vacation and the house was the perfect place to put up the few guests we had, they were all happy to have a beach house to stay at and there was plenty of room for 8 people plus 4 more that came the rehersal dinner!
I must admit that the upstairs is much nicer than the downstairs, very roomy downstairs but the ping pong table was broken and all the paddles were in very poor condition. One bedroom downstairs has no vent for AC and also in that room we found sticky rat traps kinda hid in the duct work (no way i was staying in that room!)
I understand that was the old EI Realty office, they've done a nice job of converting it to a home - except the front door, a more conventional house door would look a lot better!
thanks again for another great vacation!

"Great time at Ganavan Sands!"
My family rented Ganavan Sands for a week in July this year. It turned out to be a perfect place for our family. I wouldn't recommend it to a family with small children, as there are a lot of steps inside and out. Our family is all teenagers and 20's--so the convenience to the beach access was great! The house suited us to a tee! The kids had fun playing ping pong on the table downstairs. The only problems we had were that the televisions were not great, and my husband had to pound a few nails down on the deck outside that were pretty dangerous. The price was right, it turned out to be a wonderful week, and next year we plan to rent for two weeks!!!

"Great Family Home"
My family was in need of a getaway. We lost our mother in September and my father is alone for the first time in his life. The vacation was to usher in the spring and welcome a new beginning for us all. The Ganavan Sands aided us perfectly. The gameroom downstairs keep the children busy for much of the time since it was a tad bit chilly to be on the beach. There was ample space for us to fellowship and invite other family up for a day of fishing. Dad caught over 100 sea mullets. That made the whole trip worth while. The wireless connection and the unlimited phone access were two welcomed amminities. The washer and dryer sold me also. I will never rent another property without one. The price was great even in this economy. I have vacationed on Emerald Isle on three occations and I always use Emerald Reality and have recommended them to others. The check in and out are simple and quick. When I have voiced concerns or had any mainteanance problems, they have been sent professionals who are respectful and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great vacation.
"comfortable&Great for family's"
We have stayed at Ganavan Sands 2 years in a row. We love the community, the house is roomy and comfortable. Our 2 daughters and their husbands came last time and we enjoyed the beach and local restaurants. The seafood market down the street also got our business we cooked our own feast! My husband loved the fishing, at one point he had the biggest shark on his line just jumping and spinning until he broke the line. The show was awsome! Relaxing in the house every evening with our little dogs is also a highlight something you normally cannot do on a vacation. We will definately go back to the same house it's close to the beach and the sound is also in view. Emerald Isle Realty is very helpful.
"Family & Pet Perfect"
We spent a wonderful week at Ganavan Sands. There were four adults, three children and a dog and we had room to spare. The first floor recreation room with bedrooms and bath were perfect for the kids to get away and play video games (when not swimming of course) which left the upper level for quiet reading and relaxation. The house is just across the street and beach access couldn't have been easier. I highly recommend Ganavan Sands and am planning another week there this year.

"Unless they fixed it, look elsewhere"
The biggest problem was mold in the ground floor rooms. There were no noticable problems upstairs. (This was in 2007, and may have been repaired since then. The folks at Emerald Isle Reality seem conscientious about their properties. But I would check the ground floor before renting it.))
Response from the , Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 01/28/2009
Like the guest below, our ground floor properties at the beach do tend to be a bit more damp. Our housekeeping department has been alerted to be extra vigilant in these homes. Thanks for your comments.
"Disappointed in rental"
We spent a week in this rental home during the summer of 2006.
We had stayed in other rental homes at Emerald Isle during many
years of previous visits and had a wonderful time. However, I was
disappointed in the Ganavan Sands rental. It is my least favorite of
any property we have rented.
During our 2006 vacation we had 5 children under the age of seven
and two of them were infants. Upon our arrival, the glass door
leading into the home from the deck had been shattered and poorly
repaired with duct tape. I informed the rental office that day that it
needed repaired as it was the main door and would constantly be
used by both children and adults. I called the rental office again
later in the week when it still was not repaired. It was never
repaired while we were there and I was nervous about it the entire
stay as I was afraid it was going to break on one of the children.
While the kitchen was updated and the two upstairs bedrooms were
fine & comfortable, the downstairs bedrooms and bath were
unpleasant. The bedroom closest to the bathroom had mold in the
closet and the bathroom was disgusting.
I made the reservations for this property for my family including
my brother and his children and it was their first visit to Emerald
Isle. I was embarrassed and disappointed with the property and felt
terrible that he and his family barely spent any time at the rental
because of the conditions and concern for their children's safety.
If the door were repaired and the mold removed, I still don't think
this property is suitable for small children. It should only be rented
to adults and families with teenagers.

Response from the , Emerald Isle Realty, Inc - 01/28/2009
We are truly sorry that you had a disappointing stay but I am happy to report that Ganavan Sands has been recently refurbished in 2008 with new mattresses in many of the bedrooms and bedspreads. The door was a very important issue and our research into your stay showed us that due to the age of the door it was difficult to get replacement parts. I'm sorry this wasn't communicated well to you at the time. The door has since been fixed. Please contact me and I'll be happy to discuss this with you further as we'd like to offer you a discount on a future stay. Jeff Lessey, Director of Reservations firstname.lastname@example.com

What seems difficult to truism, was now occupied by an analysis: Working with Windows 7 users without administrative rights, will remain 90 percent of all attacks on Windows vulnerabilities ineffective. In the case of Microsoft Office is as high as 100 percent.
According to a report of the IT security product manufacturer Beyond Trust, a majority of security problems in Microsoft products by the removal of administrative rights are restricted. Beyond Trust in 2009 looked at all of Microsoft security bulletins released for Windows, Office and Internet Explorer. The results were clear: 64 percent of all security breaches could not be used if the current user has no admin powers.
For Windows 7, so 90 percent of a critical security gaps be countered, in the case of Office and Internet Explorer 8 is as high as 100 percent. The fact that Windows 7 is a total secure than Windows XP, for example, is also clear from the report: In Windows XP can be achieved by the withdrawal of administrative privileges to only 62 percent of the attacks to prevent security breaches. Also interesting is the high value of 87 percent in relation to remote code execution. For this elite class among the attacks - the attacker can execute thereby allow arbitrary code on the victim's PC - had only 13 percent of all cases of success, the admin rights were revoked. Overall, stay more than four in five (81 percent) of all in 2009 are considered critical vulnerabilities without effect if the user works with normal user rights.

Iran Rejects EU Preconditions for Continued Cooperation
Teheran - Iran will not accept any preconditions by the European Union for continued cooperation, the news agency IRNA reported Thursday.
Iran and the EU have started their dialogue based on mutual respect, but Iran neither accepted any precondition for these talks then nor for their continuation now, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Assefi said.
The spokesman was referring to remarks by the Italian delegation at the International Atomic Energy Agency, which made clear that EU cooperation with Iran depended on Teheran's acceptance of the additional IAEA protocol which authorizes unannounced and unlimited nuclear inspections.
Such remarks will not help strengthen constructive Iran-IAEA cooperation and definitely will not deter Iran from its legitimate rights to have access to peaceful nuclear technology, the spokesman said.
Assefi said Wednesday that Iran would also not give in to political pressure by the United States over it nuclear programs. Under the terms of last week's IAEA ultimatum, Teheran has until October 31 to accept all IAEA regulations on nuclear inspections.
It has been warned that the issue will go to the United Nations Security Council for possible sanctions if it does not comply by November 20.

You shivered as you walked up the bridge to Fortuna castle. You were helping with killing the demons that made their way to the human world. It was snowing hard, which was weird. A demon must be behind it. You walked into the castle, not believing what you saw. The entire floor of the castle was covered in icicle spears. There was little room to move. You managed to wall jump up to the upper floor with scarcely any ice. Most of the doors were blocked, limiting your options you wandered down some hallways, searching for any signs of life. When you rounded a corner, demons were stalking through the halls. You pulled out your sword, and ran at the demons, easily killing them. As you walked down the halls, you noticed how nice the castle looked, before it was sort of deserted. You were looking for a switch for the bridge leading to the forest. Dante, the famous devil hunter, was heading this way and you worked along side him sometimes. You had a crush on him, but never told him. He seemed busy anyway and didn't look too interested in dating because of work.
You kept walking until you reached the courtyard. It seemed deserted, until you saw a faint glow. You walked a little closer. Hovering over the ground were two girls that were glowing red. They looked at you and waved, almost as if they wanted you to get closer to them. You pulled out your sword and stayed a good distance away incase it was a trap. Suddenly, something moved in the distance where the snow was coming from. A huge frog jumped out at you and would of swallowed you if you didn't jump out of the way in time.
"oh great" you muttered. You pulled out your gun and started shooting at the demon. You dodged the ice it threw at you and you finished it with a blow to the head with your sword. It disappeared in a puff of smoke. You put your weapons away and continued to the bridge where you could exit the castle. You shivered again, hoping that the forest of ruin would be warmer.
You crossed the bridge, walking into the entrance of the forest. It seemed peaceful. You heard rustling in the bushes, and these lizard things jumped out. You pulled your sword out and started fighting them. When one died, another appeared, making it impossible to defeat them all, they just kept coming. Suddenly you tripped, and the lizard demons jumped on top of you and kept biting and tackling you. You made one last attempt at fighting them by shooting you gun off once, before you lost consciousness.
When you woke up, someone was holding you. You opened your eyes, seeing Dante looking at you. "good, your finally up". He set you on your feet. You looked around, a little paranoid from earlier.
"don't worry, the demons are gone" he said, smirking slightly. You rolled your eyes, starting to walk into the forest. You heard footsteps and noticed Dante following you.
"what are you doing?" you asked, slightly annoyed.
"making sure you don't harm youself after what just happened." You sighed.
"I can take care of myself, thank you very much". you said, picking up the pace, hoping Dante wouldn't notice the slight blush on your face.
"fine, but before you go, after you finish up your mission, want to come to my office after? I'll treat you to pizza" he said with a smile. You couldn't help but smile back.
"sure" you said. Then suddenly Dante walked in front of you and pulled you into a kiss. You were shocked, then kissed him back.
When he pulled away, he said "I'll be waiting for you" then started walking to the fortuna castle. "and I love you" he said, tossing those words over his shoulder before disappearing. You started walking into the forest, with a smile on your face. Dante certainly made your day amazing.

dante belongs to capcom (no fair XD)
dante belongs to capcom (no fair XD)
3 words. Cute. Amazing. Awesome.
Dagon sat on us - what a nice way to pass out. XD
XD glad u liked it XD
i forgot the name of that frog but i do know what u mean its green when u first fight him with nero on devil may cry 4 and fight him again with dante but you fight 2 of them 1with blue antenas and the other with red but its kinda weird when they have girls as the antena lights and if you do rewrite it u might wanna put the names of those monsters but good job i loved it
yeah, i might want to put the name of the boss in... and thanx alot! i plan to write one for Nero soon
aww~! I love it!
thanx, Dante doesn't really seem like the romantic type... he could if he tried XD
yeah XD
XD there's one part in the game that Dante uses this weapon that shoots small explosive swords and he blows up a demon gate, and the swords are in shape of a heart before he blows the gate up, and he lands in front of it with a rose in his mouth XD then the demon gate is blown up and a heart shape is still standing XD
yea its after killing the fire demon a sentour in fire and he uses a demononic case that turns into any weapon he wants and after shooting it it shapes a heart then trhows a rose and the demon gate explodes
umm... wha? roses and hearts....?

Nick started off his education in a 'normal' school. This school had a special opportunities unit, but at break time and in some classes he would mix with all the non-disabled children.
However it was at this point in the 1980's that schools started to become targets driven, and we were told Nick had to leave as he was dragging these targets down.
The other issue that influenced this decision was money - something that would come to dictate Nick's life and the opportunities available to him at every turn.
It was costing too much to give him the attention he required; he needed to be moved to a special school.
The school that he was offered (on the grounds that it was local and therefore within budget - money again) was wholly unsuitable for him. My parents went to view it and found it to be more like an institution than a school.
It was silent, except for the occasional sound of locks and bolts as secure doors were opened and shut. There were no pictures on the walls, no evidence of school life.
My parents were taken into what would have been Nick's class; a dark room containing half a dozen children all in wheelchairs. In most cases they were strapped in with helmets on to stop them banging their heads. They were completely unaware of their surroundings and didn't look up once.
At this point my mum started to cry and my dad said there was no way his son was going to this school.
And so began a lengthy struggle.
The local authority was insistent - this was the school Nick would attend. But my parents had researched a much more suitable alternative and put it to them that he should go there.
There followed a number of meetings with the local authority, social workers and teachers.
Each time my parents went to one of these meetings there were more people on the panel. In the end there were a dozen people sitting in a horseshoe formation surrounding my parents. They were clearly trying to wear them down.
They were told it would be too expensive for him to go to a school any further away - money, yet again! Plus transport would have to be arranged, and that would cost more money. (We later found out that the school bus Nick would catch to the school my parents wanted already went past our road to collect children who lived right near us)
At one point they were accused of being "in denial about having a disabled son", a statement which demonstrated the total lack of understanding at work.
My parents, like any parent, simply wanted the best possible education and school experience for their son, whose disability they were fully aware of.
The school my parents had suggested for him was a special school, not a mainstream one. And it was a special school with a lively atmosphere and children who would be suitable peers for Nick.
During the final meeting they were told that their case would be taken to the Secretary of State if they did not comply. At which point many parents would have become intimidated and stopped pursuing matters.
Thankfully my dad is a very resourceful and clever man, and he had done his research - "You don't take me to the Secretary of State - I take you to the Secretary of State" he said.
The meeting was halted and my parents were sent outside whilst the panel regrouped. They probably hadn't banked on anyone actually reading the complicated legal small print.
The headteacher of the mainstream school Nick was currently attending stepped outside and said "Leave this with me".
Later that day they got the call. Nick could go to the school my parents had chosen for him. Could he start on Monday?

Marshall, Mich. (WZZM) - The company whose pipeline leaked oil in West Michigan has until Monday to wrap up the first part of it's cleaning work.
The deadline Enbridge faces is for the clean up of the source site of the spill, Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River.
Around a million gallons of oil spilled from the ruptured pipeline near Marshall. The spill began in July.
The company says it expects to meet Monday's deadline and the clean up is progressing well.
Enbridge hired nearly two-thousand people for the clean up operation.
That number will drop after the primary clean up work is finished.
The company says it will employ more than 500 workers through October to finish the work.
Monday is also the day Enbridge will restart the pipeline that caused the spill, but it will only operate at 80% pressure for the first six months.

For Shemekia Copeland, her new album Never Going Back reveals a new attitude, a new sound and an overall evolution for the young blues woman. Lots of things have changed since last we heard from Copeland. For the first time in her career Shemekia is releasing an album on a label other than Alligator Records; Never Going Back is her debut for the Telarc label. And her choice of producer for the new album, Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers, was another step outside the traditional blues world.
Widely known as one half of the rock duo The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach steps out on his own with the release of his first solo record, Keep It Hid. While The Keys' music has always been steeped in the blues, Auerbach's appreciation runs deep on Keep It Hid. Not only do we hear what the blues may sound like for a new generation, but Auerbach stretches into some territory that The Keys have yet to.
While his name seems to come up quite a bit when you reference modern independent music, it's been a couple years since we've got to enjoy an M. Ward solo record. More recently Ward has spent time recording and touring as the duo of She & Him. Hence, many are eager to get their ears on Hold Time, Ward's new solo album, which satisfies beyond expectations.
We often hear musicians talk about artistic integrity, yet few are as truthful or match the level of their ambitions as well as Andrew Bird. His songwriting, which at times will leave you reaching for your thesaurus, is as skillful as his string playing or his trademark whistling. The classically trained violin player has produced another record destined for critical praise in Noble Beasts.
Before recording had even completed on Bruce Springsteen's album Magic, producer Brendan O'Brien convinced Bruce to continue writing. So while on the road in support of Magic, Bruce & the E Street Band spent their downtime in the studio working on the songs that would ultimately become their latest release Working On A Dream.
For years now there have been a number of somewhat underground scenes of experimental music whose sonic limitations are as undefined as the venues in which they perform. It was difficult to imagine this music reaching beyond the walls of the high school gymnasiums packed with devoted disciples of the abstract, but perhaps that exemplifies the brilliance of the new album from Animal Collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion.
Without question Derek Trucks is in the elite ranks of guitarists. But similar to when you hear someone talk about "capturing a bands live energy in the studio", Trucks had yet to release a record that both harnessed his skill and at the same time felt accessible to an audience larger than his loyal fan base. Well, with Already Free, the new album from The Derek Trucks Band, that balance is achieved and Trucks' stardom shines pretty bright.
We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed is the second album from Los Campesinos!, the seven-piece band in which all members share the same last name. The sophomore album comes less than a year after the release of the band's debut. We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed showcases the band's youthful excitement, which at times borders on ultra-hyper and is playfully matched with whimsical songwriting.
The full experience of Rodrigo y Gabriela is hardly realized until you witness the duo in a live setting. Well, you can do so now without leaving your living room with the release of Rodrigo y Gabriela Live in Japan. It marks the duo's first ever performance in Japan, recorded this past March, and takes advantage of the captivating energy and mind-blowing musicianship they bring to the stage.
The popular and innovative Verve//Remixed series adds another compilation to its credit this holiday season. The eighth release in their series, Verve//Remixed Christmas is witness to classic holiday songs from legendary acts like Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and Billie Holiday remixed by contemporary DJ's and producers.

Former Oklahoma senator seeks trial delay
Former state Sen. Debbe Leftwich is asking a judge to delay her bribery trial at least four months.
The jury trial is set to begin Dec. 9.
Her attorneys argue she cannot get a fair trial in December because of "the extensive and sensational media coverage" of the conviction of her co-defendant, former state Rep. Randy Terrill.
"Terrill was accused … (of) giving the bribe and Leftwich is accused of receiving it. Thus, the finding that Terrill was guilty will be unduly persuasive to the next jury," her attorneys wrote in a motion filed Wednesday. "The photos of … Terrill in handcuffs and in jail overalls are so sensational and memorable, it will be impossible for a juror to put those images out of his/her mind only five weeks from now."
Oklahoma County District Judge Cindy Truong will hear the request Wednesday. Prosecutors will oppose a delay.
Jurors Oct. 29 found Terrill guilty of a felony — offering a bribe to a candidate to withdraw.
Jurors agreed Terrill, a Republican, offered Leftwich, a Democrat, an $80,000-a-year state job at the medical examiner's office in 2010. Prosecutors alleged Terrill bribed her to induce her not to run for re-election to her Senate seat that year.
Jurors chose a punishment of one year in prison and a $5,000 fine.
He spent the night in jail after being found guilty. The judge the next day ordered him released on a $10,000 bond while he appeals. It was at that hearing Oct. 30 that Terrill appeared in orange jail clothes and handcuffs.
Leftwich, 62, of Oklahoma City, is charged with soliciting and/or accepting a bribe to withdraw. She has pleaded not guilty. She faces up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted of the felony charge.
The formal sentencing for Terrill is set for Dec. 6. Terrill, 44, lives in Moore.
Leftwich's attorneys argued Wednesday in their motion that the formal sentencing will bring "yet another round of pretrial publicity."

The Questions...
What are dreams?
Do they mean anything?
If so, what do they mean?
Is there any way to make yourself have a dream?
What about lucid dreams?
They're visions in the back of your head which portray an image. The very same image that you see when you're awake, only blurrier since all of your other senses have been neutralized.
I think they do mean SOMETHING. Dreams are the embodiment of something that the person thinks about on a daily basis. It creates a more surreal environment for that person to experience their own thoughts.
Yeah, It's called falling asleep. XD
I heard a few online tips about lucid dreams, they can be looked at through a simple google search. I think they're pretty interesting, but a little too out-of-the-way to actually get it working.

The cost of wave energy is almost invariably ignored by industry proponents. But occasionally a factiod does pop up. For example, the Daily Astorian points out that the electric cable connecting the proposed wave test site to the grid would cost $2 million a mile. They hasten to point out that the government will not be on the hook for those costs.Guess who will be.http://professional.wsj.com/article/TPASTRIA0020120316e83f00015.html
The UK's Carbon Trust sees wave energy as costing 4 to 5 times offshore wind. Wow! "The UK's Carbon Trust sees the levelised cost of offshore wave energy (with a 15 per cent discount rate) at 0.38-0.48 pounds/KWh for wave energy and 0.29-0.33 pounds/KWh for tidal, compared with 0.09-0.10 pounds/KWh for nuclear and offshore wind."http://www.dawn.com/2012/03/26/marine-renewables-set-to-gather-pace-in-europe.html

2001 Ford Econoline Wagon E-150 XL 3dr Van (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
My van is a very good van and especially good because of its size (which in fact, was the overall reason we were looking for a van) It's fuel economy, well, we weren't expecting a prius, so it could have been worse. The exterior is very acceptable for a 01 and the interior is very well thought out, with lots of cup holders and other thoughtful touches, although perhaps too well thought out; I find gum and candy wrappers all over the place from our kids. I commute many miles daily to chi, so I am looking for a new car but Big Red has served me very well. Although I have had only one problem with the engine sometimes it does not operate when its hot, but Keep making econolines, Ford! Thank you
Cup holders, seats, size, affordability, reliability(for the most part)
Fix engine problem. Other than that none.

I gave them all a couple coats of acrylic medium. I think next time I'll try an oil-based sealant, with less gloss. But they look pretty good. I've enclosed a copy of the panoramic image these were based upon. There is a fourth model, more opened-up, just didn't get it printed in time.

 I'm showing these along side some circular panoramic prints, and a videogame-map-scape that allows you to check out all 29 panoramas I've shot here in a nearby forest. Here's the online version of the game (requires Unity plugin).

I have spent a lot of time reading all the BB noise threads I can find (not so easy without the search function) and haven't quite found the answer. I rode my bike, Schwinn Mesa GS (I think it's a '99), in the rain to work the other day. It's got fenders, but no mudflaps. On my ride home, I noticed that there was a click/groan (can sound like a series of clicks on each side) every time either pedal was in the forwardmost position. Here's the strange thing: it isn't there when I'm just spinning to keep up with the wheels, but it goes away when applying a large load such as when I'm really cranking to get up a hill. It's really disturbing because the sound wasn't there before, and after the rain and only a couple hours time it was. Doesn't seem to me to be enough time for rust or any corrosive damage to occur.
What I've done so far:
Tightened the crank retaining bolts
Tightened the chain ring screws
Tightened the seatpost
Greased the chain (with WD-40, I know it's not the best, but I wiped it down well)
Sprayed the BB area with WD-40
Tightened the skewer on the rear wheel
Checked for vibration between the fender and the frame
BTW, there's no side to side play in the BB or crank that I can detect with my hands.
Any ideas?

Three years ago I had a porch/deck built outside of my kitchen. The construction is steel I-beams, and concrete topped with tiles, supported by four, square steel posts. The concrete is supported by a corrugated steel bed. The porch is 20' by 8', and also serves as a carport, since it is high off the ground.
About a year after completion of the construction, two problems appeared which I have been unable to solve. First, water leaks through the seam where the porch meets the house. I don't know if the flashing was installed properly, or even if it was installed at all. Caulking and re-caulking the full length of the porch have provided a temporary fix, at best. That side of the house is faced with vinyl siding.
Second, and perhaps more serious, a white substance (lime?) leached out of the concrete, and, when it rains, drips down on the inside of the steel I-beam frame on all four sides of the porch. When it drips on my car it is very difficult to scrape off. In addition, a white substance (perhaps the same as the other one) has leached upwards, and has discolored the grouting of half of the tiles. The tiles affected cover an area of 20' by 4', and specifically, the 4 feet which are farthest from the house, not adjacent to it. Tapping these tiles produces a hollow sound, indicating that they are no longer bonded to the porch.
Financially, I am the one who will be paying to fix this, as the contractor is totally out of the picture.

I am running an install of CakePHP on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The way certain files are accessed I need permissions set a certain way within my install of Ubuntu. Nothing out of the ordinary.
The problem is that the ownership and group of certain files keeps reverting back to
root after I manually change them to
www-data for the owner and group.
For example, I have the following file:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 155 May 10 09:26 myapp_cake_model_default_cake_apps_1_list
after a while, it will change to
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 155 May 10 10:13 myapp_cake_model_default_cake_apps_1_list
This is happening in a couple of locations.
/var/app/tmp/cache and
I'm not sure if this is happening because of a cron or Ubuntu doesn't like the permissions or because I'm a moron and idiot. But It's driving me crazy.

A TASTE OF T-TOWN: Exchange program enables Chinese youths to visit Tuscaloosa
Published: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 11:50 p.m.
The gym of the Mary Ann Phelps Activity Center was crowded with children Wednesday as part of the Tuscaloosa Park and Recreation Authority day camp. Among the children playing was a group of six Chinese students, all 10-year-olds, from Kunming, China.
The Chinese students are part of the Eemom Exchange Camp coordinated by Tuscaloosa native Richard Davis.
Davis lived in Kunming from 2008 to 2010 and worked as an English teacher with Eemom, a company that places English teachers in Chinese schools.
Davis said his love for Tuscaloosa and China led him to begin the exchange program in an effort to connect the two cities.
"My hope is that, through this exchange program, they'll maybe want to go to school, they'll want to find a job or build a business (in Tuscaloosa)," Davis said.
Tuscaloosa has hosted students from Kunming five times for a week at a time since 2011. The Tuscaloosa Sister Cities program is hosting students from Japan this week as well.
Davis said this is the second trip the camp has partnered with PARA to allow the students to interact with American children their age.
There are other companies that host exchange trips, Davis said, but they are conducted like tours, usually in New York and Los Angeles, instead of truly learning American culture. He said that by placing the Chinese students with other children and host families, they experience firsthand how Americans live.
"The Chinese have never heard of Alabama. They've always heard of New York and L.A.," he said. "I want to immerse them a little bit in the culture. To me, it's opening their eyes and their understanding to America."
The students will join other children each day at the Phelps Center and participate in activities such as bowling, swimming, arts and crafts, watching movies and more.
Davis said he hopes the American children will learn simple Chinese words, make friendships and become pen pals. He said he hopes the American children can also teach the Chinese students about American culture, especially that of the South.
Nathan Alejandro, 10, said he and the other children taught the Chinese students how to play American sports like baseball and dodge ball.
"I think it's new for them because they don't know some stuff that we do like board games and dodge ball."
The students will also attend church Sunday with their host families.
"One of the things we try to do is introduce them to one of the main things in America, which is Christianity," Davis said.
He said China is more accepting of America now, and he hopes to entice the students to come back to Tuscaloosa to attend college at the University of Alabama and bring their families here as well.
"Every time they come, they fall in love with Tuscaloosa, Alabama," Davis said.
