WHAT SORT OF SICK BEHAVIOUR IS THIS AND HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE IN EUROPE IN 2012???? As the official killer of the bull, Philip had won the right to parade the animals coveted ears, tail and testicles around town on a ceremonial spear.He had also been granted permission to eat the bulls testicles - widely regarded in Spain as the choicest of all cuts of meat and a rare honour indeed.In the eyes of many, Philip Cottrell was truly king for the day.Casual brutality towards animals is, of course, well known in Spanish bullrings, but the sights I witnessed last Tuesday, during the annual Toro de la Vega blood fiesta in Tordesillas, were as sickening as they were brutal.

Judge rejects delay of execution for 400lbs death row inmate who claims he's 'too fat' to be put to death
- Ronald Post worried his weight will mean he suffers severe pain during procedure
- Sentenced to death in the murder of hotel clerk Helen Vantz in 1983
Marked for death: Ronald Post, 53, claims there are no accessible veins in his arms, hands or legs because he is so obese
A condemned killer trying to delay his execution because of his extreme weight may need to come up with another excuse after a judge rejected his request on Monday.
Death row inmate Ronald Post, who weighs more than 400 pounds, is asking the courts to stop his January execution on the grounds his weight could cause him to suffer severe pain during the procedure.
Post is prohibited from challenging his execution by injection because he raised similar claims in his first set of federal appeals in 1997, Judge Lesley Wells said Monday in Cleveland.
In general, death row inmates are only allowed one federal appeal when alleging the same set of facts.
Post 'has not demonstrated in his new petition that his medical condition has changed so significantly, or that Ohio's new lethal injection procedures have changed so radically, since he filed his first petition in 1997 that his original core complaints are transformed into something new,' Wells wrote.
However, the judge sent the question to a federal appeals court in Cincinnati for a final determination according to federal law governing this type of appeal.
The state is opposing Post's requests to delay his execution.
Post, 53, was sentenced to die for the 1983 shooting death of hotel desk clerk Helen Vantz in Elyria. His execution is scheduled for January 16.
Fears: Post is worried executioners at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility will not be able to find a vein because of his weight
Vantz's son, Bill, has called Post's arguments 'laughable.'
Post also wants his execution delayed to try to prove that claims he made a full confession to several people have been falsely exaggerated.
Post's attorneys declined to comment Monday.
They have previously argued that Post's medical condition hasn't been stable. At issue, they say, is his condition around the time of his execution, not at the time of an original court challenge.
Post 'could not have raised this claim in his earlier petition because the execution was not imminent and his physical and medical condition have not been stable in relation to an execution date,' his attorneys wrote in earlier court filings.
Arguments: Richard Cooey, who weighed 267lbs at the time of his execution in 2008, argued his own case of being too big to die while holding prison food and limited opportunities to exercise responsible
Escaped death: In 1994 Mitchell Rupe, who weighed 400lbs while sentenced to death, had his sentence changed to life in prison after found too heavy to hang without risking decapitation
Post has also sued to stop his
execution as part of a long-running challenge of Ohio's execution
procedures in federal court in Columbus.
Judge Gregory Frost has scheduled a December 17 hearing.
The lethal injection, invented in 1977, is designed to kill a patient quickly and painlessly.
The cocktail of drugs used varies from state to state, but generally it contains a barbiturate that induces a deep sleep; a paralyzing agent that halts breathing; and potassium chloride, which stops the heart.
However, dosages vary by state, not by inmate; people are given the same dosage regardless of their size.
As a result the lethal injection is not necessarily quick or painless, a 2007 study published in PLoS Medicine found. If any of the doses in the injection are off the patient feels pain but also may suffer a slow death by asphyxiation, according to the study.
Molecular biologist Teresa Zimmers of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, told the Scientific American at the time: 'This idea that this is a painless procedure is completely wrong. It's just invisible because the person is paralyzed.'
Post has tried losing weight, but knee and back problems have made it difficult to exercise, his lawyers say.
They also say Post's request for gastric bypass surgery has been denied, he has been encouraged not to walk because he's at risk for falling, and severe depression has contributed to his inability to limit how much he eats.
A doctor who examined Post for his defense team says Post does not have accessible veins in his arms or hands because of his weight and could not receive a lethal injection in his legs because he is so obese.
Before his execution in 2008, 266-pound death row inmate Richard Cooey also claimed Ohio authorities would have trouble finding a vein in his flab.
In a lawsuit, Cooey argued that he would suffer a painful
death by lethal injection because of his size.
However, his execution passed without any recorded incident.
1994 in Washington state, a federal judge upheld the conviction of
Mitchell Rupe, but agreed with Rupe's contention that at more than 400
pounds, he was too heavy to hang because of the risk of decapitation.
Rupe argued that hanging would constitute cruel and unusual punishment.
After numerous court rulings and a third trial, Rupe was eventually sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2006.

Outsiders can rescue "bloated" BBC management culture, says media expert
Published by University of Leicester Press Office for University of Leicester in Education and also in Communities
University of Leicester Head of Department of Media and Communication comments on 'group think' culture at BBC
The BBC would be improved by an influx of senior managers with more experience of running large organisations than of working in broadcasting, a media expert has said.
Professor Barrie Gunter, head of the Department of Media and Communication at the University of Leicester, has been closely following events around the inquiries into the behaviour of Jimmy Savile and the Newsnight child abuse allegations.
He says one of the BBC's problems has been its tendency to promote from within which reinforces a management culture that is either blind to risks or refuses to address them quickly enough. The BBC is characterised by a "bloated" and "multi-layered" management structure which devolves and confuses rather than focuses and clarifies sources of responsibility for specific editorial actions or staff behaviour.
"There's this culture of taking decisions in a particularly convoluted way and of protecting the BBC's interests internally, which leads to a kind of 'group think'.
"They are not very tolerant of fresh ideas about how to run things which don't conform to what they believe the BBC is about, and they have their own particular view of the BBC and how it should operate," he said.
The time has come for the BBC to consider appointing a chief executive not just from the outside but also from another environment -- someone who knows a lot about how to run a large organisation, Professor Gunter added.
Separating the Director General's role from editor-in-chief might be part of the solution, but the BBC did already have a head of news.
"Maybe you don't need to create new posts but you do need to adjust job descriptions and responsibilities," he said.
More widely there is a cultural problem within BBC management, which remains "bloated" and "multi-layered", Professor Gunter added.
"What you have is a sense of devolved responsibility, even among people who are graded at senior levels and on six-figure salaries. There's always somebody else who can be referred across to or up to, and decisions are ultimately taken by a multitude of people. If things go wrong you don't know who to blame."
There was also a tendency - particularly in news - for journalists to believe they should only be managed by other journalists, if they had to be managed at all. But journalists do not always make good managers.
"There's nothing wrong with having people who are professional managers, who aren't necessarily from particular professions: they don't have to be broadcasters or journalists," Professor Gunter said.

Online Learning: Focused Learning with a Flexible Schedule
At Champlain College, you'll find connected classes that enhance careers-courses that put you in charge; courses where you cannot "hide" in the back of the classroom. In fact, one of the most frequent comments we hear from our students and teachers is that you will get to know your instructor and classmates better than if you were sitting in a classroom.
- Log in whenever it is convenient for you-24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- All requirements are clearly stated in the course syllabus, which you will receive on the first day of class.
- There are due dates you are expected to meet, but there are usually no requirements for what time of day-or even which day-you need to log in to read and download lectures, view assignments, reply to discussions and take tests.
- Once the course begins, your lectures and assignments will be posted in a forum and will remain there for the entire semester.
- The tools for submitting your work are built right into the course, including an assignment tool, a testing tool and even a self-contained email for contacting your classmates and professor privately.
- For classes that require you to use special software-such as programming languages and Web page design applications-you will transfer files to a special student server.

The Chest-1 results come just a couple of days after Bayer reported positive results from an ongoing Phase III trial (Patent-1) evaluating riociguat in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The placebo-controlled 16 week Chest-1 study involved 261 patients with inoperable CTEPH or with persistent/recurrent pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy. The results showed that therapy with riociguat led to significant improvements in the 6MWD primary endpoint, and a number of secondary endpoints, including pulmonary vascular resistance, N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide, and WHO functional class. Other secondary endpoints, including time to clinical worsening, Borg dyspnea score, European quality of life 5-dimension questionnaire, and the living with pulmonary hypertension questionnaire, weren't met in terms of statistically significant improvements.
Results to date from the Phase III riociguat program indicate the drug may represent a potential new option for treating CTEPH, states Hossein Ardeschir Ghofrani, M.D., lead Chest-1 trial investigator at University Hospital Giessen and Marburg (Germany). "These study results with investigational riociguat are encouraging because it is the first randomized Phase III trial in which a drug treatment has demonstrated significant improvement in 6MWD in patients with inoperable CTEPH or with persistent or recurrent pulmonary hypertension after surgery."

Scottsbluff dominates Gothenburg Invite
Scottsbluff definitely dominated the competition at Wild Horse Golf Club on Sept. 15 with a 29-stroke victory for the team title at the Gothenburg Invite.
The Bearcats, who won the Class B state championship in 2008, earned five medals including first and second by returning state medalists Emilee Pilkington and Kaylee Koeppen.
On their home turf, Gothenburg combined for a team total of 442 and finished in seventh place.
Freshman Heidi Teahon was the low scorer for the Swedes shooting 106, seven strokes away from earning a medal.
"Heidi continues to improve every meet," said coach Jim Henke.
Teahon's score was a personal best by four strokes over her previous best set at the Lexington Invite a week ago.
Sidney Thompson and Elizabeth Graham were close behind with 109 and 110 respectively.
Henke said junior golfer Anna Boson ran into more trouble than she has had recently, especially on the second nine.
Boson still made a good effort to finish with 117, Henke said while Jourdan Matthies continued her consistent play at 121.
"We have expectations that Jourdan will break through to better scores soon," Henke said.
Team runner-up Minden had three medalists, as did third-place McCook.
1. Scottsbluff 338; 2. Minden 367; 3. McCook 381; 4. North Platte 415; 5. Ogallala 434; 6. Hershey 437; 7. Gothenburg 442; 8. Holdrege 462; 9. Lexington 488; 10. Cozad 493; 11. Dundy County 504; 12. Broken Bow 630..

AbstractPiezoelectric sensing is of increasing interest for high-temperature applications in aerospace, automotive, power plants and material processing due to its low cost, compact sensor size and simple signal conditioning, in comparison with other high-temperature sensing techniques. This paper presented an overview of high-temperature piezoelectric sensing techniques. Firstly, different types of high-temperature piezoelectric single crystals, electrode materials, and their pros and cons are discussed. Secondly, recent work on high-temperature piezoelectric sensors including accelerometer, surface acoustic wave sensor, ultrasound transducer, acoustic emission sensor, gas sensor, and pressure sensor for temperatures up to 1,250 °C were reviewed. Finally, discussions of existing challenges and future work for high-temperature piezoelectric sensing are presented.

By Tom Philpott, syndicated columnist
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will get the Senate hearing he didn't want.
Sen. James Webb, D-Va., says he will use a Senate Veterans Affairs Committee hearing — rescheduled now for Sept. 23 — to have Shinseki explain his decision to compensate Vietnam veterans, and many surviving spouses, for three more ailments including heart disease.
Shinseki announced last October that ischemic heart disease, Parkinson's disease and B-Cell leukemia will be added to the list of illnesses presumed caused by exposure to defoliants, including Agent Orange, used to clear jungle in combat areas during the war.
VA projects that the decision will cost $13.4 billion in 2010 alone as it will qualify a few hundred thousand more veterans for service-connected disability compensation.
Those veterans, it now appears, will have to wait at least a few more months before claims can be paid. And there is at least some doubt now they will be paid. That will depend on whether Webb and enough of his colleagues are dissatisfied with the science behind Shinseki's decision.
In an interview in his Capitol Hill office Wednesday, Webb said he was surprised to find among line items in an emergency wartime supplemental bill (HR 4899) a few weeks ago $13.4 billion attributed to "veterans." He asked staff to find out what it would pay for.
"It came back this was the Agent Orange law," Webb said. Webb, a highly decorated Marine from combat service in Vietnam, said this deepened his skepticism over the soundness of that law and how it has been used.
"When the law was passed there were two areas that raised questions for me," Webb explained. "One was the presumption of exposure for anyone who had been in Vietnam; 2.7 million people had an automatic presumption of exposure. And then the notion that the VA administrator, now the secretary of veterans' affairs, has discretion based on scientific evidence to decide a service-connection" to various illnesses. "It's very broad."
Webb amended HR 4899 so claims can't be paid on the three newly named Agent Orange illnesses until 60 days after a final rule is published.
"This is an area where we have a responsibility to pump for more (information) to tell us specifically how they made the connection. The only appropriate way to do that is say, 'Let's fence the money for 60 days and get some clarification here.'"
Webb said he was unaware on finding the $13.4 billion in the bill that Shinseki had asked Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, chairman of the VA committee, not to hold a hearing on this issue. Akaka had scheduled one for April, then rescheduled for early May when VA declined to send witnesses.
One theme he ran on in 2006, Webb said, was restoring a proper balance of power between the legislative and executive branches. Too much authority had been conceded to, or usurped by, recent administrations, he said.
Webb said he even fired off a letter to President Barack Obama last December challenging a claim he made as he prepared for a summit on climate change that he would return from Copenhagen with a binding agreement.
"I just felt compelled to say, 'You do not have the constitutional authority to bind the United States to an international agreement. The Congress does." Webb said.
Shinseki's decision on Agent Orange strikes Webb as more proof too much power has been conceded to the executive branch.

Surprising: Vijay-Keyyar Turn Friends?
Illayathalapathy Vijay and producer Keyyar were not in good terms for several months. It became public when the producer made a comment on the actor's last film Jilla's collections. Now, they seems to have buried the hatchet as they shared dais at an event.
Keyyar and Vijay were not involved in any rift directly. The producer's differences were with the actor's father SA Chandrasekar. Yet the producer's ire turned towards the actor earlier this year when he called Jilla a flop movie along with Ajith Kumar's Veeram.
At an audio launch function, Keyyar had said that Jilla and Veeram producers had fooled media and public. The actual figures of both the movies were no where near to claims made by them. He attacked media by saying that they carried and wrote about the films collections without cross checking or analysing the facts. Specifically, he took a potshot at a leading critic and trader for writing a baseless Box Office reports.
Keyyar went on to say that no journalist had guts to write the facts, which disappointed him a lot. According to him, both Jilla and Veeram were utter flops considering the losses suffered by some distributors. Now, his words seem to have forgotten by the Illayathalapathy as he was seen together at the protest against Sri Lankan government held in Chennai today (August 4).

My wife and I bought into this company in October of 2011, something didn't sound right and my wife canceled the contract. The man that we signed with(Gareth) did not return our phone calls, them my wife called Daniel Ruiz in the financial Dept,and canceled. They charged us $7215.35 for the one bedroom and charged us 2381.07 for not canceling, but we did. Today is July 26, 2013 and we started October of 2011.
These people are scam artist, the say that are are with Remax. So if they are with Remax I feel sorry for that company and the people who work for them. Puerto Bab'ia is a big joke and scam

NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York City man is being accused of collecting more than $56,000 in Holocaust survivor benefits meant for his mother by falsely claiming she was still alive.
The Queens district attorney's office says Gary Jacoby, of Queens, was arraigned Thursday on charges of grand larceny and criminal possession of a forged instrument. If convicted he faces up to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors say the 61-year-old man's mother was receiving the benefits from the German government that should have stopped when the woman died in January, 2008. They say Jacoby kept her death a secret and submitted false forms to Germany. The alleged scam continued until February 2012.
Defense attorney Samuel Karliner said his client was innocent and called his arrest unnecessary and an "abuse of power."

I've been searching but haven't found a plugin/ combo of plugins to manage paid (PayPal Standard) memberships to an organization. Can anyone make any suggestions?
I don't think we want to use the Roles/ Capabilities built in to WordPress. Members never login to the site to do anything, so maybe using Roles/ Capabilities is a possibility (advice appreciated)?
- The membership does not affect content availability on the site.
- The membership does allow the member to be listed in a business directory (which doesn't have to be built in to the plugin as we can manage it elsewhere- the directory listings need to be moderated and approved anyway).
- Ideally the plugin would provide auto emails when memberships are expiring, but not having this is not a deal breaker. Maybe even auto renew option would be cool.
If anyone has any ideas, that would be great. The old developer set it up as an event in Event Espresso, which causes all kinds of extra work and problems the client doesn't like. Currently the site is also using Pods (Version 1.9.4), so a solution using that would be acceptable.
Thanks soooo much!

Don't you just love chili? It is delicious, warm and comforting and inviting. However, when researching chili recipes on the Internet, it became interesting and I got sidetracked reading about the debate over where chili was first made and whether or not it should contain beans.
My take on it is I don't care where it was first made (I am just glad it was made) and as a dietitian I very much want it to contain beans! Please!
Chili is a delicious and potentially healthy food choice. But your average canned chili has too much sodium/salt. A typical serving size for canned chili is 1 cup. Most of the canned chili I looked at had well over 600mg sodium except the chili in the organic section. I do know that Hormel is coming out or has come out with a lower sodium canned chili -- I just did not find that at my Kroger.
General guidelines for healthy chili are to look for canned chili with 3g or less saturated fat and 680mg or less sodium per serving (preferably less of course).
I did find one organic brand that met these guidelines. Amy's (thank goodness for Amy's or I would not have much to write about!). Both the regular and the low sodium chili met the above guidelines.
Now when you start talking about chili starters (seasoning packets, canned mixes or anything that helps you get it on the table faster), there are more lower sodium options to choose from.
-Bear Creek: "Darn good Chili" mix: Contains 550mg sodium and if you add no salt-added tomatoes, you will stay below the 600mg mark per serving.
-Bush's Chili Magic Chili Starter (mild only): 652mg sodium (made with onion)/per serving.
-McCormick: Chili packet has 310mg sodium per serving
-McCormick: Reduced sodium version has 210mg sodium per serving
-Many store brand seasoning packets are following suit as well.
I made chili using lean ground beef, onion, green pepper, low-sodium seasoning packet and reduced sodium crushed tomatoes. it was quick, easy and deliciously low in fat and sodium.
Until next time, shop well and eat well!

How to deal with new cash from dividend payments
As a dividend investor, you have the luxury of receiving regular cash infusions into your portfolio on a regular basis. During the accumulation stage, you will also have extra cash that you would need to deploy on a regular basis. Even once you become retired however, you might still find a trickle of excess cash finding its way to your bank accounts, that you might decide to put to work in your dividend portfolio. You then have the opportunity to deploy this cash in one of two ways that you believe are the most optimal for your portfolio. The two options are to reinvest automatically (DRIP), or reinvest manually. Another option could be to mix and match both strategies.
Each of those strategies has its pros and cons. The major negative about DRIPing is that investors risk reinvesting distributions into shares without regards to valuation or opportunity cost. It could be very costly in the long run, if you mindlessly allocate dividends received into the overvalued companies that generated them, particularly if more attractive places for this cash are available. This is one of the reasons why I usually combine new cash with dividends received every month, and then make a purchase in my best ideas at the time.
One of the positives of DRIPs is that you are taking immediate advantage of the power of compounding, by putting cash dividends received into more shares right away. That way, you are not wasting time trying to accumulate enough cash so that it is cost effective to make an investment. Plus, you can set it and forget it, and take a more passive approach to compounding your wealth and passive income.
Another advantage of automatic dividend reinvestment is that you are not charged a commission when putting money back into the same stock that distributed cash for you. I do not advise anyone to pay more than a 0.50% in commissions before investing in dividend paying stocks. If you lose a portion of dividend income to excessive brokerage fees, you are shooting your compounding process in the foot. This is why automatic dividend reinvestment is ideal for situations where your dividend income is low, or you cannot add money to this account, in order to justify waiting for a set amount of capital to accumulate in cash.
I only reinvest dividends automatically for my Roth IRA account, which I started in 2013. This is because I can only put $5,500 per year in it, and the amount of dividend income generated per year is a couple hundred dollars. Therefore, it is not cost effective to wait for cash to accumulate and pay an exorbitant commission of over 2%, which would stump the turbocharging effect of growing dividends that are being reinvested. It is much better to reinvest dividends back into the company that paid them for free, rather than taking the time and paying a steep fee in order to reinvest elsewhere. Manual dividend reinvestment is quite inefficient for smaller portfolios with no new additions of capital. For my taxable portfolios, which are the lions share of everything however, dividends are reinvested selectively.

There are a few things with these custom post types. I asked this at the wrong place as well, but to also get the attention of people who are not interested in that plugin, another thread here.
My current custom post type situation is as follows: with the use of a plugin I created custom post types. Then I manually created new templates to display these custom post types and I created pages with these templates, because the plugin seems to not offer 'indexes' for the custom post types. This works fine enough for now. Now I for example have a custom post type "quotes" which displays at gangleri.nl/bookreviews/quotes, but when I tag a post with for example "dumezil" to group all the quotes of Georges Dumézil, this tag has the slug gangleri.nl/bookreviews/dumezil, while it should be gangleri.nl/bookreviews/quotes/dumezil.
Did I miss something or has something been missed?
Then there are some other things. The default single.php is used, the same sidebars as elsewhere, it is unclear if WP sees the posts there as posts or a page (since I use a page to display it), but I think the first, 'recent posts' will require some coding. That sort of things. All in development? But it seems plugins are released rapidly.
There is a plugin that says to fill some of these holes, but it doesn't work, maybe because I already have another custom post type plugin installed and it does not seem to solve my most pressing problem of tagging. Any suggestions?

Waratah Adam Ashley-Cooper embraces switch from fullback to wing
- From: AAP
- March 01, 2012
FAR from taking offence at being bumped from fullback yet again, Wallabies star Adam Ashley-Cooper is embracing his switch to the NSW Waratahs wing.
Sounding an alarm for the Melbourne Rebels on Friday night, Ashley-Cooper said he relished the wing position because it'll give him more freedom to roam in attack.
Waratahs coach Michael Foley continued a trend that's become all too familiar for Ashley-Cooper, both with the Wallabies and his former Super Rugby team the Brumbies, when he took advantage of his versatility for the clash with the Rebels at AAMI Park.
Wanting to make room for the impressive Bernard Foley, he picked him at fullback and shifted Ashley-Cooper to the wing in place of youngster Brackin Karauria-Henry.
"I've certainly got no problems with that,'' said Ashley-Cooper, who had also spent much time at outside centre.
"I love the wing. I think that wing probably gives me the most freedom actually.
"15 (fullback) at times can be a little structured, so I'm really going to embrace the wing this week and really go searching for that ball.''
With former Waratah Kurtley Beale ruled out of the Melbourne side, newcomer Foley is well aware of the threat from the prodigious kicking of Rebels replacement fullback Mark Gerrard.
"I have played against him and he does have an absolute monstrous boot and I think he will be a challenge,'' Foley said.
"But then also having (five-eighth) Danny Cipriani, with his left-foot kicking the other side of the field is another challenge.''
Foley has spent most of his career at five-eighth but played several games at fullback for Sydney University.
One intriguing head-to-head battle on Friday will be between Waratahs' hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau and his former NSW team-mate and rival Adam Freier.
"I'm pretty sure he'll be looking forward to getting in amongst the action,'' said Polota-Nau.
"I actually look forward to confronting him, but also trying to get the better of him too.
"I've got the (afro) hair nice and fluffed up today, so hopefully he can feel the action amongst the scrum.''
Asked if Freier was a good sledger, Polota-Nau said ``Usually, but I'll let my actions do the sledging.
"For me, it's important that we probably worry about our own sort of stuff, rather than listen to his little niggles.''

What's striking about this month's top 10 list is the quantity of pop songs it contains by folks who aren't archetypal pop stars.
On the whole, Top 40 tracks dominate this month's list. But, there should also be enough alternate versions -- plus some crossover hits from upstarts like Kongos and Echosmith -- to keep things interesting.
The summer might be over, but the Jewish boys of the famed Viagra Falls house in the New York gay getaway Fire Island Pines just released this Hebro-s...
Summer might be winding down, but you'd never guess it from this set of sunny songs. The top 10 list below kicks off with a remix of Calvin Harris' ode to the warmest season and continues to heat up from there.
I had to speak out. I mean, I'm a girl. And it would be totally gross if my pics were splashed everywhere. Especially when they were private! After the massive and perverted onslaught of leaked celebrity nude photos, the truth can't be held in much longer!

If you are a guy who has to assault a woman's dignity and privacy in order to fulfill your sexual fantasies, that says far more about you than it does about her.
If you are not particularly worried about being high-minded here, there is another consideration, which is, by looking at the pictures, you are giving criminals a purpose for their act (at least with a degree or so of separation) and causing someone distress. Is it really worth it?
Online hackers have struck again as there appears to have been a massive leak of risqué and nude celebrity pictures, including pictures of Hunger Gamesstar Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice and Kate Upton. The leak has taken the Internet and social media world by storm.
Rather than writing you another letter full of fatherly advice that at this point you would probably ignore anyway, I thought I'd tell you what I'm going to miss while you're gone this summer.
"I haven't always been that great at moving on from past relationships," Sevyn Streeter confesses, "And I don't think I'm the only one who's had that experience."
This month's top 10 list provides a succinct argument for the dominance of electronic music on the pop charts.
Last week DJ David Guetta was named the official Ambassador of the 2014 edition of Amplifier Center Stage. The music program, matches developing music...
Stefani's take on Fiddler on the Roof's "If I Was a Rich Man" was the jumping off point for her solo career. I don't think the writers of Fiddler could have foreseen their tale of a humble, Jewish man's mid-life crisis inspiring a bleach-blonde Japanophile.
Disney-alum and pop-starlet extraordinaire, Selena Gomez, has apparently had better nights than last Friday at KIIS FM's annual Jingle Ball concert....

Graffiti is a type of deliberate application of a media made by humans on any surface, both private and public. Graffiti can also refer to website defacements, however, it usually takes the form of publicly painted art, drawings or words. When done without a property owner's consent it constitutes vandalism, although in many countries the owner must press charges before it would be considered a crime.
Graffiti has existed at least since the days of ancient civilizations such as classical Greece and the Roman Empire.
The word "graffiti" expresses the plural of "graffito", although the singular form has become relatively obscure and is largely used in art history to refer to works of art made by scratching the design on a surface. Another related term is sgraffito, a way of creating a design by scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another one beneath. All of these English words come from Latin, most likely descending from "graffiato", the past participle of "graffiare" (to scratch); ancient graffitists scratched their work into walls before the advent of spray-paint, as in murals or frescoes. These words derive in their turn from the Greek γραφειν (graphein), meaning "to write". Historians continue to speculate over the vexing question as to where the term "graffiti" first referred to this form of marking.

My complaint is just about identical to the one placed 9/3/2002 by 'D' in Cherry Hill, NJ regarding The Chubb Institute.
He/she is correct about the inflated 'success rates'. Many jobs they get are low-paying - not good if you're an adult with responsibilities. I found no complaints re; Cittone but I noticed most people will just shrug it off because they think there's nothing they can do so no one says anything. most of those whom I graduated with are still not working in the field. Like the person in Cherry Hill, I, too feel that my education is worthless - all to the tune of about $14,000!!!
If one buys a car and cannot drive it, the matter is usually taken care of in a very short time. Well, I've paid for an education that has proved worthless. Most employers seek extensive experience or a compter degree. Cittone has now added another new course relating to the health field - probably because they see that the IT field is sinking fast. To this day I have not received one good lead. This is really a rotten shame! I've made an expensive mistake!!

I just found out about a really cool event this Saturday and it is FREE!!! It is an adventure fitness course at Red Rocks amphitheatre this Saturday at 9am. They say on the website it is like a mini adventure race- this one is a partner challenge so you go through it with a buddy. I had a friend who did a course last year and said it was really tough but a ton of fun (it took her over 90 minutes to complete).
The website is: www.animalfitness.net
I plan on being there!

Hi - I've added and deleted ImageWall 3 times because I haven't been successful in getting it to work on my site. I keep coming back to it because I love it and I'm stubborn. =)
I have read through every post I can find re: troubleshooting, but I'm not having any luck with what I've tried so far.
The shortcode I have added to my Blog Page is:
[image_wall image_sizes="medium , large" column_proportion_restrictions="2.0" support_author="hidden" include_pages="false" move_to_end="false"]
My media settings are:
Thumbnail: 200 x 200
Medium: 300 x 300
Large: 400 x 400
(I admit to being a little lost on the ideal media settings)
I have three test-posts up. Each image is attached to the corresponding post page. Each image appears to have large enough dimensions to meet the media parameters (in width but not height - could that be the problem?).
I have tried adjusting my media settings. I re-loaded the three test images to my library to make sure they would work under the changed settings.
Each image was added to each post with the add 'featured image' section. I also tried adding each image to the post with a "insert media" option, but that resulted in double-images (and no wall).
I tried changing the "move to end" to true but nothing happened so I changed it back to false (I don't want the footer to show above my wall if I can help it).
Any suggestions? I'm sure this is user-error but I can't think of anything else to try. Thanks so much!

In Clareti Transaction Control (CTC) Gresham has developed a new breed of enterprise data integrity technology.
An agile platform which empowers clients to harness and evolve its capabilities to serve the specific demands of their financial businesses.
With no legacy architecture to work around when designing Clareti Transaction Control (CTC), Gresham was uniquely positioned to rip up the rule book on matching and reconciliation technology and develop a better alternative – advancing the very best aspects of existing platforms and removing the worst.
The team's experienced understanding of client frustrations around sluggish processing, limited adaptability, a lack of transparency and too many potential areas of risk led to the creation of a faster, more visible, more flexible solution, with integrity at its very core.
The high performance achieved during this most recent benchmark shows that CTC can be used in extremely high-volume, low-latency environments to give operational certainty to financial organisations and infrastructure providers conducting billions of transactions per hour in fast-moving markets
Integrity built in
CTC's sophisticated matching algorithm isn't constrained by a fixed data model. It can take multiple feeds and match in multiple ways, enabling the processing of complex information while allowing for future expansion.
Integrity is built-in, with automated comparison, verification and validation ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting from financial loss. Real-time visibility of transactional data at any moment ensures true transparency, while reports can be accessed automatically.
CTC is all about speed. From its ability to be implemented and onboarded within days, to its rapid controls (as quick, if not quicker than spreadsheet controls) the user experience is more pleasurable, faster and easier to use than legacy systems.
CTC enables:
- Very rapid reconciliation, verification and validation of transaction
- Optimised business performance
- Quick and accurate identification of data errors and operational risks
- A reduction in financial transaction loss
- Regulatory compliance
- A reduction in deployment, hardware and operational costs
- The removal of complex and risky spreadsheets

Just hours after being fined $10,000 for propositioning a journalist live on television, cricketer Chris Gayle was flaunting his lack of contrition on his action-packed social media feed.
Gayle's Instagram account is full of lurid insights into his hedonistic lifestyle and Tuesday evening's post was no exception.

Chris Gayle's interview fail
West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle has been slammed for making 'inappropriate' comments during an interview with Network Ten journalist Mel McLaughlin.
The West Indian posted a picture of himself and teammate Dwayne Bravo at approximately 7.30pm Tuesday night, in which he is wearing a T-shirt with a modified Playboy bunny design and the logo $EXSELL$.
The Big Bash player had walked out of a press conference on arrival at Melbourne Airport on Tuesday morning after he was challenged about making Channel Ten sports reporter Mel McLaughlin uncomfortable at work when he told her: "Don't blush, baby."
Earlier in the conference he described his pass at McLaughlin as a bit of joke and said "there wasn't any harm done".
From photos of stripper poles and beds with mirrors on the ceiling to footage of himself bathing and half-naked selfies, scrolling through the accounts of the self-proclaimed "Universe Boss" shows he has never been bashful.
Here's a selection from his feed:
