Police are often called to mediate between individuals who can work things out on their own but dont realize it at the time.
Like recently, when officers were called to a mans place of employment because his roommate was allegedly threatening him and said he was going to beat him up.
The victim told police it was all over comments made on social media. The victim also explained that he had been suspended from work because the suspect (his roommate) came to his place of employment and made threat and a scene as well, the report said.
The victim said not only are they roommates, but the suspect drives him to work everyday.
When police spoke with the suspect, he explained that he had been angry and upset at the time, but he eventually got over it. He pointed out that he was there (the victims place of employment) to pick him up and carry him home. He said he would not act on any threats that he made, according to the report.
They were allowed to leave with no charges filed.

Grand Prairie police are looking for a man who walked away from a group home early Wednesday morning.
Cody Derrick, 38, left the home in the 2900 block of Volturno Drive and never returned, police said. Police were alerted around 1:30 a.m. and have been using air support and search dogs.
Derrick lives at the home because he suffers memory loss and unsteady balance from a brain injury sustained in an accident, police said.
He is 5-foot-10 and weighs about 170 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair, and was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and blue and white pajama bottoms.
Anyone with information is asked to call 972-237-8877.

I have a similar problem. I am underweight and even more so on primal diet. The only advice that I've seen on previous posts was: eat more calories with more fat.
For me it's not as easy as it sounds. My stomach doesn't like too much diary. I tried eating lots of nuts, but recently I stopped because of fitic acid.
Yesterday I tried eating a plate of cooked vegetables mixed with half a glass of coconut oil. It was actually quite tasty, but later on I didn't feel well.
I don't know if I am on the right track, but I keep trying...

ABC News has issued a public apology four years after airing a misleading video segment about pastor Frederick K.C. Price, founder of Crenshaw Christian Center.
The story -- called "Enough!" -- aired on ABC's "20/20" and "Good Morning America" in March 2007. In the segment, reporters questioned whether ministers of several large congregations had used church contributions to support lavish lifestyles.
To prove their point, ABC News included a 10-second clip of a previous sermon by Price where he said, "I live in a 25 room mansion, I have my own $6 million yacht, I have my own private jet and I have my own helicopter and I have seven luxury automobiles."
But Price wasn't preaching about himself. He was presenting a hypothetical situation about a person consumed with wealth.
"ABC News apologizes for any harm caused to you as a result of its broadcast of a video clip that ABC News stated was of you speaking about yourself when in fact you were talking about a hypothetical person," Kerry Smith of ABC News said in a statement to Price.
"ABC News regrets that it did not conduct sufficient investigation of the clip after receiving it to establish its correct context," Smith continued. "By presenting the footage out of context, ABC News misled its audience and failed to meet its own standards, which ABC deeply regrets."
Price welcomed the admission and apology.
"We had faith that this matter was in God's hands," he responded. "And once again God has shown us that when we trust in Him and act in good conscience we are led to the truth, and to a place of abundant joy."

Power walk for the men in black, Russell Crowe and James Packer
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 28, 2012
UNCOMPROMISING black gym gear - check. Sharp sunglasses - check. Tough-guy buzzcut - check.
It took bystanders a moment to register that the two robust men striding purposefully through Sydney's eastern suburbs yesterday were not a couple of naval officers enjoying Christmas leave, but two of Sydney's best-known residents.
They were Oscar hopeful Russell Crowe and billionaire casino owner James Packer - an unlikely duo - out for a chinwag and a random set of roadside push-ups during a morning power walk through Rose Bay.
The Les Miserables actor left the home of his estranged wife Danielle Spencer shortly after 8am and rendezvoused with Packer on New South Head Rd before striking out towards the city.
The two lions, who in years past have shared a love of fatty food and cigs, have spent the year immersed in their careers and sculpting their bodies - Packer with the aid of gastric banding and beachwork, and Crowe with gymwork and cycling.
With both utterly focused on their newly acquired slim-line physiques, the two were clearly not going to let the Christmas ham and beers distract them from their now famous fitness routines.
While reps refused to confirm which man had accepted the other's invitation for the work-out, it seems Easts supporter Packer and Souths owner Crowe have become closer thanks in part to a shared love of larrikin friends, among them cricketer Shane Warne.
Crowe, at 48 three years Packer's senior, was initially befriended by his father, the late Kerry Packer. The actor read Rudyard Kipling's poem If at Packer Sr's 2006 memorial service and enjoyed a front-row seat at the Opera House send-off alongside the Packer family and Malcolm Turnbull. Packer Jr's Scientology mentor Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes sat a row back alongside then PM John Howard.Yesterday's catch-up, coming a fortnight after Packer's confirmed investment in a Hollywood film production company, could suggest they are working up a film project.
Crowe is expected in Coffs Harbour with his sons by Spencer, Charlie, 8, and Tennyson, 6, this weekend.

Nice description - "Robust". Try one fat and one who is so weak he had to permanently band his stomach to stop him eating too much. Two pillars we should all look to aspire to. Slimline physiques? What planet is the writer on?
The Don of Brisbane Posted at 8:07 AM December 28, 2012
Maybe Packer is trying to recruit Crowe into the Church of Scientology. But the first paragraph of this story is a bit silly, with "check", "check" and "check". Not everyone who reads this site are advertising type yuppies who need to see these types of expressions. Just like the word "absolutely" is bantered about in just about every sentence these days.

George the elephant made a great impression crushing Riesling grapes for southern Oregon's Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards during harvest this year. Winery owner Stephen Reustle partnered with nearby Wildlife Safari for the United States' first-ever elephant grape stomp, conceived as a way to raise funds for the zoological park.
Initially he was dubious of the scheme, worried that the elephant's weighty step would pulverize the grapes, break the seeds inside and release harsh tannins. He gained some confidence after George lifted one huge foot and Reustle felt its soft, fleshy pads.
Still, the 29-year-old pachyderm wasn't exactly a grape-pressing natural. Wildlife Safari's general curator Dan Brands explains that the staff spent two months training him and back-up elephant Alice. Both learned in 30 minutes to step into an empty crushing bin and do a little leg-lifting dance. Since they'd been trained long before to be cautious about what they step on, it took plenty of positive reinforcement to convince them to tromp on slippery grapes.
Though it was billed as a one-time event -- 750 bottles of the wine go on sale in February -- the winery plans to repeat the fundraiser next year.
Elephants aren't the only quadrupeds to figure prominently in this year's wackiest wine stories.
In British Columbia's vineyard-laden Okanagan Valley, wine- drinking cows are opening up a whole new consumer category. Sadly, they only get to guzzle their daily liter of red for the last 60 days of their lives.
"This gives the beef a unique, more beefy flavor, a very red color and the fat tastes sweeter," says Janice Ravndahl of Sezmu Meats, a business started a year ago in West Kelowna, B.C. "It really has this umami thing." (Umami is a Japanese term for the "fifth" taste, a kind of savory flavor.)
For the first cow wine-sipping experiment, she let one drink its daily ration from a pail. It eagerly lapped up the red blend, but that method proved too time-consuming for 8,000 head of cattle. She now mixes wine with feed in a food-and-wine pairing for bovines and says the cows prefer cabernet and pinot noir to shiraz, even though the reds she uses are price-driven plonk.
According to Ravndahl, wine-fed cows moo more to one another and are much more relaxed, so their meat is more tender.
The one-liter-per day regimen for a 1,000-pound cow is about the equivalent of a glass a day for a human. "That's what doctors order for health," says Ravndahl. She reports that thanks to wine-feeding, her beef is in big demand from local chefs and has ignited interest from researchers at Thompson Rivers University.
In South Africa, wine grapes, not the finished product, attract the animals. Hundreds of wild Chacma baboons descended on vineyards in the Cape's Franschhoek Valley to feast on lusciously ripe chardonnay and pinot noir, apparently their favorites. Growers say this year was especially bad because wild fires destroyed the baboons' usual foraging areas. The stakes are high. One winery reported losing 40 percent of its crop.
According to researchers at the University of Cape Town's Baboon Unit, it's the sugar in the grapes they're after, not the subtler taste elements.Determined baboons dig underneath electrified fences. Some winemakers swear the primates are scared off by rubber snakes among the vines; others trumpet the virtues of loud noises. But regardless, the baboons sneak in, even scarfing up fallen grapes fermenting in the sun, and sleep off the effects of alcohol right under the vines.

Reviews for RAINBOW HEALTH INITIATIVE
8 people found this review helpful
I joined the board of Rainbow Health Initiative because it is unique in its mission. We conduct research, educate and advocate for the LGBTQ community so that our health needs may be better served. Health care is an emerging battleground in the fight for civil rights and LGBTQ needs have been ignored too long. I am proud to be part of an organization on the cutting edge and to work with a highly committed board and staff. We are tiny in size but achieve great impact through collaborations and partnerships with numerous organizations and institutions. A dollar at RHI is multiplied tenfold through this leveraging of resources.

The first priority after the show went up Friday night was, of course, catching up on sleep.
And then, food. After a week of eating meals consisting solely of bread (English muffins for breakfast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, biscuits for dinner), I cooked meals that required breading and grating and boiling and stirring and baking.
I cleaned. I cleaned way beyond intention. You know, it's that domino-effect kind of cleaning where you start off wiping down the counters, which turns into scrubbing the stove, which further evolves into cleaning out the fridge, and before you know it, all your closets have been reorganized and your bookshelves could pass a white glove test, which they never could before.
I took a nap. I took a walk. I wrote letters, I paid bills. I read for hours and hours.
And I found myself staggered by both the quiet satisfaction I gained from these activities and the sheer amount of time I had to spend on them.
Every week following a tech week, it's the same with me. I gain an almost holy appreciation of free time and life lived on one's own schedule - having 6 to 7 whole hours after work to do anything I want? Anything?
You'd think I'd be inspired to do something completely whimsical, like drive out to Niagara Falls for the evening, but really, all I want to do is get my ironing done.
I usually can't stand ironing.

PARSIPPANY — A former Parsippany resident today lost an appeal of his conviction in the slaying of a man he suspected was romantically involved with his estranged wife.
A state appeals court turned down John Martinez's second bid for post-conviction relief, which would have set aside the guilty verdict if granted.
Following their trial on murder charges, a jury in Morris County found Martinez, now 53, and Pierre Forbes, now 50, formerly of the Bronx, both guilty on the lesser charge of aggravated manslaughter in the 1998 beating death of Salvatore Salierno, 46, of Parsippany.
Martinez paid Forbes to attack Salierno, who had lived with Martinez's estranged wife, Ivette, at one time, according to testimony.
An appeals court upheld Martinez's conviction in 2003, and Martinez lost a bid for post-conviction relief in 2009. His latest bid appealed the 2009 decision.

BOSTON - The American League Championship Series features two tremendous pitching staffs, but only one of them showed up last night.
The Boston Red Sox rolled to a 10-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 on the strength of yet another impressive postseason start by Josh Beckett.
The 27-year-old righthander limited the Indians to two runs and four hits over six innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out seven.
As good as Beckett was, he wasn't nearly as effective as he had been in his two previous postseason starts.

Kazakhstan continues on the path of higher educational reform by creating a new university in the capital city of Astana. The New University of Astana, initiated by the President of Kazakhstan, has a unique strategy, combining the quality of leading international universities with Kazakhstan's economic and social aspirations and top 50 countries in the world. The strategy is to develop full partnerships with several of the top 30 universities in the world to bring their quality of degree programs to Kazakhstan. No longer will Kazakhstanis need to leave the country to receive a high quality international education. The partner universities will assist the new university in developing its degree programs, hiring and providing faculty, student exchanges, and university management.
On February 19th, the New University in Astana signed its first contract with an international partner, University College London (UCL) which is ranked fourth in the world in quality of education. UCL will manage the first year of study for the new university. The first year will include advanced English language training, essential academic skills, and introductory courses in the students' chosen area of study. From September 2010, students will be able to enter into undergraduate programs in the natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and medicine. Over the next few years, the university will initiate graduate and post-graduate programs in these disciplines as well as public policy, law, and business.
In early March, a delegation from the university and government will travel to the United States to sign contracts with several American universities to conduct feasibility studies for degree program development, research development and management strategies for the new university as a first step in creating full partnerships. In total, it is expected that the new university will have eight to nine major academic and research partners from the United States, Britain, Japan, and Singapore.
The university expects to recruit 500 undergraduate students for fall 2010. Most students will receive a scholarship since the university is targeting the best secondary school graduates in Kazakhstan regardless of economic status. The university is seeking those with the highest potential for contributing to the social and economic development of Kazakhstan. The entry requirements for the university include excellent performance in secondary school, a high level of English language skills (5.5-6.0 IELTS or 530-550 TOEFL PBT), and a high score on the UCL University Preparatory Certificate entrance tests. Special consideration is given to international Olympiad winners in the sciences and related disciplines with the possibility of a special English language program to ensure their success at the new university.
The university is developing a program whereby the most talented in Kazakhstan will have the opportunity to pursue graduate and post-graduate degrees with our international partners or other leading universities. The long term goal is to build local capacity in Kazakhstan higher education both at the new university and other universities. This student marketing strategy is unique and complimentary to other Kazakhstani public and private universities.
The university is pursuing partnerships with other Kazakhstani universities. This may include joint degree programs, faculty development/exchanges, and student exchanges. This will assist all Kazakhstani universities to improve their international reputations while continuing to contribute to the well-being of the country. The new university is a compliment to the already strong higher educational system in Kazakhstan.

When Noctezuma Cr is played second in the round, when Noctezuma Cr is engaged in combat with another character, his "Copy: Bonus" ability is replaced by his opponent's Bonus. If the opponent's Bonus is not activated, then this ability has no effect.
The Attack points of Huracan are increased by 1 points for every remaining Life point owned by the player controlling the character.
Hmm Noctezuma, what a great card.
Let's review it.
But first...
Price manipulation began with Numar, i got fed up with Dregn, i spoke when Cortez price manipulation took place, because i had enough.
Now you people still do the same thing all over again.
So there it goes:
Technical lack of Noctezuma in the "free market".
25th of November 2013
280 market offers TOTAL.
DarkDevilDiva sells 11 copies for 200000 Clintz each
Infiniti sells 26 copies for 100069 Clintz each
LEITM0TIV sells 116 copies for 77777 Clintz each
(F) Darf sells 22 copies for 62891 clintz each
PAD_Pedro sells 14 copies for 54995 clintz each
IceBerzerk sells 7 copies for 58750 clintz each
So... 11+26+116+22+14+7= 196
70% of the available Noctesuma copies is possessed by 6 people.
41% of the available Noctesuma copies is possessed by only one person LEITM0TIV.
And they DARE to put them in market. For what? To brag?
Here comes some feedback.
YOU people ruin the game for the rest 80% of users.
And if this thing will go on NO PARETTO analysis will save the game.
Do you listen UR staff?
So, where was i?
Oh yeah, about the card.
Isn't that great?
Huracan, a new clan that is strong enough to force you put money on the game to get the cards and play.
The bonus is ridiculously strong.
It forces you to pill on first rounds but there are cards that can help you up on the late rounds.
Plus this clan can play solo and co-op no problem.
Meanwhile Rescue perma bans are still on...
So this guy is the Leader of that clan.
That means he must be the strongest 5 star (since he is 5 stars)
When he came out, Copy Opp power and damage was a joke.
They fixed that of course, to earn money.
Now Noctezuma 9s a:
5 star
Power 7
Damage 8
Ability: Reprisal: Copy Bonus Opp.
Bonus: +1 Attack Per Life Left
First things first, damage is great, expected for a Leader.
Secondly Power is really high for a Juracan card.
Having him and a DR or SOA on hand you fear almost NOTHING.
VS Power manipulation clans. It works as a nullifier to their bonus, while HIS bonus will kick butt
VS Damage manipulation he can add +2 damage or become a DR...
VS Attack manipulation, he Nullifies all bonuses and retains his own.
VS SOA clans it doesn't hurt and keeps the very helpful bonus.
VS SOB well, NO SOB!
VS Skeelz it doesn't hurt and keeps the very helpful bonus.
VS Jungo - Berzerk he becomes even more devastating as in damage manipulation clans
The ONLY thing that might hurt is SOA on ability (and it isn't too important) and FULL STOP.
On Full Stop he is a 7/8 ... wow...
Only drawbacks:
He is 5 stars. Of course he is!!! This means he takes space.
But Huracan have lots of good 2 stars, so no problem.
He became uber expensive, thanks to some guys like those above who are greedy and arrogant enough to do such a thing.
Final rating: 10/10
I have no words.
This clan was broken, and will still be until other clans will get balanced.
So go on UR staff... Erase this comment, as you did ereased TWO of my previous comments on his release.
GO ON! Show us how democratic you are once again!

"A terrible mistake UR. Why do you feel the need to make the new clan as overpowered as possible?"
There's this thing called profits
UR wants to make said profits
UR wants to make a lot of profit
UR knows they'll get more by making an OP clan which players will spend tons of money for credits on
UR also knows they'll make more by making the most OP cards rare, thus forcing players to buy a ton of credits to even get their hands on one
UR also knows the best way to maximize profits is making the new releases even more OP than the last, thus making players think to themselves "hmm, this card is much better than the card I spent so much credits on trying to buy last release. I think I'll sink more money on buying this one instead; it's clearly the better choice".
All they're missing is to promise to make 1500 elo doable, and not just promise but actually make it so that 1500 elo is a joke to get now, and like Pedro from Napolean Dynamite said, their wildest dreams will come true.
And so, Noctezuma declared that his original ability was unfit for a king. Through pure will, channeled through the rage of his subjects, he became a bonus-stealing bad*ss. Cower in fear, Clint City, for the king stands tall.
It's official....The hurrcan is just here to beat the ass of everything in UR. Honestly El Divino was a sick ass card and he wasn't even the damn Leader...Now Noctuzema comes thru and makes El Divino look like Elmo. UR....We all wanted a badass clan and you delivered the apocalyspe clan.
Congratulations UR, fasted card Perma-banned lol
Released: 05/09/13
Perma-Banned: 10/09/13
For the record:
All Stars - 9/45 rare (20.0%)
Bangers- 10/46 rare (21.7%)
Berserk- 7/32 rare (21.8%)
Fang Pi - 15/46 rare (32.6%)
Freaks - 12/48 rare (25.0%)
Frozn - 8/23 rare (37.8%) !
GHEIST - 13/46 rare (28.7%)
Jungo - 11/41 rare (26.8%)
Junks - 12/48 rare (25.0%)
La Junta - 12/48 rare (25.0%)
Montana - 9/47 rare (19.1%) !!
Nightmare-13/47 rare (27.7%)
Piranas - 11/43 rare (25.6%)
Pussycats- 11/45 rare (24.4%)
Rescue - 9/42 rare (21.4%)
Roots - 7/44 rare (15.9%) !!!
Sakhrom - 14/47 rare (29.8%)
Senitnel - 9/45 rare (20.0%)
Skeelz - 11/43 rare (25.6%)
Ulu Watu - 12/48 rare (25.0%)
Uppers - 9/43 rare (20.9%)
Vortex - 12/33 rare (36.4%)
Huracan- 9/22 rare (40.9%)
And keep in mind that many Rare cards from the old days are average (Rozen,Saddy,Leila,Perle, Dash,Berserkgirl,Python and more)
Meanwhile in Huracan all the rare cards range from OP to at least usefull, and all the 6 5* are Rare.
I know things have changed but the old clans cannot keep up with the new. Make more average and bad cards for balance
Fun tip: This card's ability used to be Reprisal: Copy Opponent's Power and Damage
*Inserts the more you know sign*
Named after Moctezuma,not "Montezuma".
In fact, there were 2 emperors (tlatoani) that had this name: M. Ilhuicamina and M. Xocoyotzin (or Moctezuma II).
The second is most known for been in contact with spanish colonizers.
He was not an idiot that sent his troops to the death against a more numerous enemy: chronicles by Bernardo Díaz del Castillo reveal that after days of intense fight in Tenochtitlan, he intended to negotiate with spanish troops their retreat.
Because of this he was removed for the charge and his brother Cuitláhuac was named new emperor. By the way, the last aztec emperor was Cuauhtémoc.
"And they DARE to put them in market. For what? To brag?
Here comes some feedback.
YOU people ruin the game for the rest 80% of users."
The reason players with numerous amount of cards put the cards into the market ISN'T TO BRAG, obviously that's what you would think. It's so others know they have them therefore they will receive offers for them.
If I can't find someone on the sales forum to trade my numerous copies then another way of "advertising" to every other player who maybe doesn't even check the forum, then this is the most logical thing to do.
That's something 80% of players probably don't even know.
Just gotta do a review on the legendary Noctezuma! What I can't get is why there are no other reviews atm
Huracan 5* and chieftain
7 Power
8 Damage
Ability: Reprisal (allegedly) : Copy Bonus Opp.
Historic Note: Originally the ability was Reprisal: Copy Opp Pow. and Dam but the staff changed it after about 2/3 days and Noctezuma changed from being average to being OP
+ 8 Damage!
+ Copy Opp Bonus is my one of my favourite abilities in the game along with Stop Opp Bonus. On Noctezuma it combines with his stats and bonus to make him absolutely incredible! It protects him from the SOB of Piranas and Nightmares, effectively cancels the effects of the attack manip. of the Sentinel , Junkz , Rescue , Uppers , Sakrohm and Montana as well as his fellow Huracan. These are all very popular clans. The only time this ability isn't so useful is vs Skeels and 3/1 splits
+ Bonus of the Huracan is undoubtedly one of the best in the game, AND it's protected in part by his ability!
+ 7 Power is excellent here, any more would be insane!
+ Against La Junta and Fang Pi Clang and against Frozn in the right conditions he is a OH/KO card! Fully pilled with fury thats between 71 and 82 attack in 12 life modes! (Depending on whether any lifes have been lost previously)
+ Artwork is absolutely badass! Great job Arto Picto who I think is a new artist?!
+ Bio is also awesome.
* Reprisal based COB obviously isn't as good as straight COB but it is far easier to use than any other conditions.
* Historic Note: The Reprisal condition of the ability has not worked ever since the staff changed it to Reprisal COB at the time of writing. This is great if you use him, but it is also kinda unfair to those who lose due to not acknowledging this fact There will undoubtedly be some battles where this has caused someone who should have won to lose
* 5* is very big, and makes him hard to fit into a low * deck. But then what did you expect from a card as powerful as this?! He is elo banned atm, so that shouldn't matter so much. And the Huracan 2*s are so strong ( Derby Queen and Zapatino ) that it matters even less
No cons as anything that could be seen as a con is as much of a pro as a con, OR the certain cards which bother Noctezuma only do so because they bother almost everybody else by virtue of their own quality
Power: 9/10 (more is OP but I see Noctezuma primarily as a T2 card) Damage: 10/10 Ability: 9/10 (COB is that good and reprisal easy to use) Bonus: 9/10 Ability/Bonus Synergy: 10/10

No one posted a reference comment? Ok, i'll give it a shot.
This card is named after the ninth Aztec emperor, Moctezuma II.
He ruled Tenochtitlan, the Aztec empire's capital city, from 1502 to 1520.
He was killed during the initial stages of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, when Conquistador Hernán Cortés and his men fought to escape from the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, as scarcely implied in this card's bio.

LANSING, Mich. - Keep them barefoot, pregnant and silent. Judging by legislation the Republican- and male-dominated Michigan House of Representatives has passed, that's their attitude toward women.
After state Reps Lisa Brown and Barb Byrum, both Democrats, courageously spoke out against anti-choice legislation passed Wednesday, Republican Speaker of the House Jase Bolger informed House Democrats that the two lawmakers would be prohibited from speaking during Thursday's legislative session on any and all issues.
What did Bolger use as a pretense to silence debate? On Wednesday Rep. Brown told anti-choice legislation's backers, "I'm flattered you're all so interested in my vagina." And Rep. Byrum was gaveled out of order when she protested Republicans' refusal to allow her to speak on her amendment to require proof that a man's life was in danger before he could have a vasectomy.
What has been ignored in Rep. Brown's testimony was her eloquent statement that, to ensure religious freedom, separation of church and state is necessary to keep one faith from infringing on the rights of another. She explained that in her Jewish faith, "therapeutic abortions, namely abortions performed in order to preserve the life of the mother, are not only permissible, but mandatory. The stage of pregnancy does not matter."
The Republican move to silence these representatives shocked many, as the chamber has heard colorful language - almost always from men - in the past.
In an email message, Michigan Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer wrote that the Republican bills are designed specifically to shut down women's health clinics that provide critical and life-saving services for thousands of women across Michigan.
Whitmer called the Republican actions offensive. She said, "Their actions yesterday took away our right to choose what's best for our own bodies. Now today, they've even taken away our right to voice our opposition to their actions."
Among other things, the bills would saddle health centers with unnecessary and burdensome licensing requirements if they perform abortions; ban abortion after 20 weeks with no exemptions for rape, incest, or fetal defects; and punish doctors who violate the vague and limited exemptions with at least 15 years in jail.
Planned Parenthood says its health centers are vital to the health care needs of women throughout the state, pointing out that 1 in 5 women will visit a Planned Parenthood health center in her lifetime. Only 10 percent of Planned Parenthood patients have private health insurance.
For 75 percent of Planned Parenthood patients in Michigan, an appointment at a Planned Parenthood health center is the only health care they will receive in a given year.
If ever there was a body that needed silencing, it's the Republicans in Lansing. Here's a checklist of what the Michigan legislature and its Republican leadership has accomplished in the last two years:
* attack collective bargaining, check;
* make workers compensation laws ineffective, check;
* raise taxes on poor and seniors, check;
* allow emergency dictators to replace elected officials, check;
* use voter suppression to limit those who vote, check;
* end cash assistance for 40,000 women and children, check.
These bills, and many others, are why Whitmer writes, "Women are paying attention, and come November, we will be voting."

Usability is an important aspect to be looked at for making any system achieve its ROI and to give its users an 'experience' that will help foster a better culture in the organization. As the ultimate target of any system is to establish change management and to promote organizational innovation via modifying the behaviour or culture of the people in the organization, it becomes imperative that aspects of usability are engrained into the goals and processes of the organization.

Listen up, Jennifer Hudson. You've now got an Oscar in your hand, but what next? For an idea of what not to do, check out Premiere magazine's gallery of the worst-ever post-Oscar career choices. Among the cautionary tales: Cuba Gooding, Jr., who followed up his win for Jerry Maguire with Chill Factor, Snow Dogs and – gulp! – Boat Trip. Helen Hunt also followed up her Oscar (for As Good As It Gets) with a trifecta of clunkers: Pay It Forward, What Women Want and Dr. T and the Women. And of course, Halle Berry, who, fresh from nabbing Best Actress for Monster's Ball, made Catwoman. On purpose. (At least she had a sense of humor about it, and good-naturedly accepted her Razzie Award.) J-Hud, you've been warned!

#1 I wouldn't do it even if I was stranded.
#2 He wasn't even stranded so doing it ffs was just plain gross...but anything for ratings!
Exactly. 90% of the things he does, he doesn't need to do, not only that but a lot of the things he does no one would do anyways.

The article mentioned, that the boy was able to built himself an igloo on top of a ski mountain and left behind ski marks in the snow, so that the rescue team was able to find there way to his igloo. It took 14 long hours until the rescue team finally found the boy sitting in his little igloo built by himself, thanks to the knowledge of Bear Grylls and his TV Show.
The boy survived the entire night alone on this mountain and only suffered little frostbite's on his body. Without the knowledge on how to built an igloo the right way and how to get attention to his place.. the little boy would have died due to death from exposure.
There are definitely a lot of nasty, nasty things in the show. But without him doing all this, nobody would know how to fish or how to kill this particular animal, if you really someday would find yourself in a life or death situation.
Also, millions of people out there do and are allowed to do hunting in the woods. They kill and they eat!
I think it shows the true human life on how desperate and horrible it can be. Just like it was back then and how it still is today on so many poor parts of this world.
Because he bites a snake in half and eats it alive, he shows people how to hunt for snakes? Because he takes a stick, throws it, and kills a scared rabbit as it runs for its life, then he skins it and cooks it like anyone else in the world would, he is teaching the world how to hunt and cook rabbit? How much sense does it take to know to hit a rabbit in the head in order to kill it?
He kills these animals in brutal ways and eats them in more disgusting ways for ratings and ratings only. He's not teaching the world anything by doing this, not a single, tiny little thing.
If he wants to go around showing people how to survive in the wild, then that's okay, in fact it's entertaining, but why kill a bunch of animals that he doesn't even need to kill, simply cause it gives higher ratings?
It's sadistic and pathetic.

Al Qaeda terrorists in Mali have created a tip sheet to help them avoid deadly drones.
Their plan was discovered on a document left behind by Islamic terrorists as they fled from French troops in Mali last month.
It includes 22 practical tips, like disguising vehicles so they can't be seen from the sky. The Islamic extremists in Mali adapted that idea by stretching grass mats across their cars and painting them with mud. That creates a shield that makes it harder for drones to detect them.
The document was placed on a jihadi forum two years ago. Its presence in Mali shows that al Qaeda chapters are still coordinating their activities.
"This new document... shows we are no longer dealing with an isolated local problem, but with an enemy which is reaching across continents to share advice," said Bruce Riedel, a 30-year veteran of the CIA who is now the director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution.
In Timbuktu, fighters also hid their cars under trees and disembarked from them in a hurry when they were being chased, in accordance with tip No. 13.
The idea of hiding under trees to avoid drones, which is tip No. 10, appears to be coming from the highest levels of the terror network. Years ago, it was mentioned in a letter written by Osama bin Laden to the head of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the term for al Qaeda's North African branch.
"I want the brothers in the Islamic Maghreb to know that planting trees helps the mujahedeen and gives them cover," bin Laden wrote. "Trees will give the mujahedeen the freedom to move around especially if the enemy sends spying aircrafts to the area."

Where Did Sacha Baron Cohen Go Oscar Night After Being Grabbed By Security? Dinner At Vanity Fair!
Sacha Baron Cohen Signs First Look With Paramount; Studio Gets His Next Pic
If you were watching the Oscar Red Carpet arrivals on Sunday, you saw Sacha Baron Cohen's character from The Dictator get handled roughly by two burly security guys after dumping what he said were the ashes of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il over Ryan Seacrest's tuxedo. It looked like he was going to be carted off in handcuffs, but what happened after?
Baron Cohen wasn't removed. He was merely hustled away from the ash-covered Seacrest, and while he was relieved of his urn, Baron Cohen continued to parade in character for a quarter mile of Red Carpet soundbites. He didn't attend the Oscars, but that wasn't the Academy's choice. I'm told the Academy bent over backwards to welcome Baron Cohen. Aside from okaying his Dictator garb choice, they set aside a dressing room so that he could change into a tux after and attend the ceremony. Once he completed that lap, Baron Cohen then entered the dressing room and emerged in his tux. But he did not use the Oscar tickets; he ducked out, got in a limo and headed right over to Vanity Fair's viewing dinner party at the Tower Hotel. He never even sat down in the auditorium.
I didn't see Baron Cohen at the Vanity Fair afterparty, but then again, despite his outsized character creations, Baron Cohen himself isn't a party guy. In fact, when I asked at the weekend parties whether or not Baron Cohen was going to actually show up in Dictator garb, those who should have known didn't know; they couldn't reach Baron Cohen last Friday because he was observing the Sabbath and not taking calls. As for the VF party, it had all the stars in the constellation, as usual. Lugging Oscars were Jean Dujardin; Octavia Spencer; Descendants scribes Jim Rash, Nat Faxon and Alexander Payne; Gore Verbinski; and Terry George. They milled around a blue-haired Katy Perry, P Diddy, Gerard Butler, Billy Crystal, Brian Grazer, Michael Douglas, Tina Fey, Harvey Weinstein, Zach Galifianakis, Steve Martin, Natalie Portman, Ben Stiller, Martin Scorsese and a host of others.
Funny and smart.
Lame. The Oscars just got two steps closer to being the MTV Movie Awards.
Seacrest was in on it. I was surprised an assistant had a towel right at hand for him to clean up? And who brings another tuxedo jacket along on the Red Carpet?
Didn't JLo have photos of herself taken by her stylist in every pose before the Oscars? Didn't she have a video made so she knew how she would look from every angle? It ws intentional but Angie took all the after-Oscar publicity.
Why is the public treated like fools?
You have no clue what you're talking about. That wasn't an assistant that handed the towel to Seacrest. That was Ai Tominaga, a model and host who was covering the Oscars for Japanese media. I know because my friend was her co-host…the Japanese guy you see at the left of the screen as the immediate aftermath of the incident plays out. Seacrest wasn't expecting it at all.
Why do people like you have to make yourselves feel important by passing your own personal speculation off as fact?
I read that he always has a tux on hand for events like this, and that he hates being messy. And it does make sense. I bet a lot of people have back-up dresses and tuxes, especially at the Oscars.
Seacrest is a fool, does he need the press that bad? The Sacha security team was his own team and not Oscar security, you can see it on the video. Agreed, the Grammy's are first, MTV movie awards second the Kids choice awards, the Tony's, then the Oscars.
The Academy's first instincts were correct to pull his tickets.
Then,for whatever reason, they relented and got burned.
Who brings a second tux to a ceremony? How about a professional who knows something bad can always happen. he could have a bird take a dump on him. And towels should always be nearby in case Seacrest needs to dry himself after being coated in spit from Jennifer Tilly.
He wasn't edgy, he was just a self-promoting jerk.
Thanks for your input, Ryan.
Ryan Seacrest was aware of the staged prank!
1) He did not act at all surprised. Plus, he received more Press than any other person at the 2012 Oscars.
2) Why did Seacrest have an extra Tuxedo Jacket with him at the Oscars if he did not expect the prank?
3) Sacha Baron Cohen was escorted away by Paid Actors posing as Security Guards…not real Security Guards
4) Sacha Baron Cohen did a few interviews after the staged prank
The Academy were stupid for even allowing this man to come to the show dressed in his garb and then he screws them over by not even attending the actual ceremony but instead ducks out for a viewing party. What a tool this guy Cohen is! I'm hoping the studios are smart enough NOT to do business with this jackass and Seacrest always was and is a dweeb, but don't believe he even knew what was going to happen to him as a result of this moron's actions.
It was undoubtedly a set-up. (Though a fun set-up. Everyone would like to dump crap on Seacrest). E! was trumpeting the "interview" beforehand, and the stunt reeks of the Bruno-on-Eminem bit from the MTV awards show that was later revealed to be planned.
I wouldn't care if he really tried to be funny. But he came with all that just to promote his stupid movie. Oscars is not some MTV movie awards where stars come to promote movies. They shouldn't have let him walk that red carpet. And it won't help. His stupid Dictator movie will fail just like Bruno did.
It was a fix. It's always a fix.
What an idiot he is. He is making a mockery of the film industry.

There's a Better Way to Prevent 'Bear Raids'
The SEC should restore the uptick rule.
When U.S. stocks plunged last summer, the SEC adopted several measures to constrain short selling, or betting that a stock's price will decline by selling borrowed shares. These included weekly reporting of short positions by large investment managers, requiring short sellers to line up in advance borrowed shares, and temporarily banning all short sales in financial stocks.
These measures proved ineffective. Even during the three-week ban starting on Sept. 22, financial stocks fell along with the market, after outperforming the market prior to the ban. Moreover, the liquidity of these financial stocks decreased, and the cost of trading them increased, as bid-ask spreads widened.
Given the continued turmoil in the financial markets, the SEC should reinstate the "uptick" rule, which helped limit downward spirals by allowing a stock to be sold short only after a rise (an "uptick") from its immediately prior price. Adopted in 1938, the uptick rule was repealed by the SEC on July 3, 2007, primarily on the basis of a pilot program conducted in 2005. In the pilot program the agency compared 943 randomly selected stocks from the Russell 3000 not subject to the uptick rule to the remaining stocks in the Russell 3000 (a broad-based index of U.S. stocks of all sizes) still subject to this rule.
The comparison was only for six months -- far too brief a time to draw conclusions about a rule that had been in effect for 70 years. The comparison also did not take place when repeal of the uptick rule could be stress-tested: 2005 was a year of rising stock prices with low volatility.
During these six months, the SEC found that the stocks not subject to the uptick rule had 2% lower returns than those still subject to the rule. This difference implies that removing the uptick rule goes farther than the SEC's apparent goal of attaining a neutral environment for stocks. As explained by a research analyst at University of Tennessee, Min Zhao, the SEC's lifting of the uptick rule for large stocks in the pilot "is associated with undervaluation . . . [and makes it easier] for 'predatory' short sellers to aggressively submit short orders and to manipulate stock price downward."
In today's Opinion Journal
- Global View: 'No Excuses' for Liberals
– Bret Stephens
- Main Street: Mr. Obama, Give That Man a Medal – William McGurn
The SEC dismissed this 2% difference as statistically insignificant relative to the standard deviation of the Russell 3000 during the pilot period. However, if we eliminate a small number of outlier stocks in that index with returns over 100% during the pilot period, the 2% difference becomes statistically significant. More fundamentally, return differences of 2% within six months are economically important, because annual returns in the U.S. stock market since World War II average 6% to 7%.
The SEC was warned by two commentators not to repeal the uptick rule since it limited "bear raids" -- when short sellers drive down a stock's price in the hopes of scaring other investors into dumping the stock or triggering margin calls to force liquidations. In response, the agency approvingly summarized the views of three other commentators -- that bear raids "are highly unlikely to occur in today's markets, which are characterized by much smaller spreads, higher liquidity, and greater transparency than when the rule was adopted 70 years ago." This summary did not take into account another factor -- the advent of over $1 trillion managed by hedge funds with the ability to short stocks.
In fact, after the repeal of the uptick rule, there was a marked increase in the number of NYSE-listed stocks with price drops of over 40% in a day -- a rough proxy for a bear raid. In the 12 months following Sept. 30, 2007, the number of such huge drops doubled as compared to a prior period with similar market declines and high volatility -- the 12 months following March 31, 2000.
The passage of the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 has not stopped bear raids, so the SEC is reviewing its tool kit on short selling. Instead of another blunt tool like a temporary ban, the SEC should promptly bring back the uptick rule.

The Jakarta Post
The contentious bill on the special status of Yogyakarta that is slated for endorsement on Wednesday is silent on one crucial issue: how to manage succession in the city's two royal courts.
The question is not moot: Yogyakarta Governor Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, who leads the Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat palace is 67, while Deputy Governor Paku Alam IX, who heads the Pakualaman court, is 77.
Article 14 of the bill requires that Hamengkubuwono and the Paku Alam undergo "fit-and-proper" tests to be administered by the Yogyakarta Legislative Council to determine if the pair are able to complete additional five-year appointments as the province's top executives.
Agun Gunandjar, the chairman of the House Commission II overseeing home affairs, warned the Yogyakarta Legislative Council when vetting gubernatorial candidates in the future, saying that it would be almost impossible for the royal families to nominate incompetent candidates for the posts.
Agun, however, said that the bill stipulated that the tests would be basic and only verify education, health, religious faith, age and the political affiliation of the candidates proposed by the royal family to succeed the monarchs, who are traditionally appointed by the central government as the province's governor and deputy governor.
The bill requires that the royal families provide the best education for those in the line of royal succession, as well as additional training in wide array of subjects.
Agun brushed off speculation that article could be used by the central government and political parties to meddle in the internal affairs of the royal courts.
The bill is also silent on what would happen if Hamengkubuwono becomes incapacitated or resigns before the end of his appointment as governor. The bill cedes the question of succession to the royal courts.
Commission II deputy chairman Gandjar Pranowo said that the Yogyakarta monarchies had their own succession mechanisms that the central government should respect.
Again, the question is not moot: the Yogyakarta sultanate already faces a succession crisis. Hamengkubuwono has five daughters, but no sons, and men are the only ones who can succeed him, according to tradition.
Gandjar, a lawmaker from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) representing Yogyakarta, said the kingdom has always been ruled by a man and never by a woman.
"As the current sultan has fathered no princes, the royal family will have appoint a new sultan from his close relatives, maybe his younger brothers," he said.
Aside from the automatic appointments, the royal families will be given political immunity as well as control over land, state funds and taxation.
"The special province will receive its special funds from the state budget for the day-to-day management of the royal court, as well for efforts to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the sultanate. The budget will be allocated by the provincial government directly to the central government, without any approval from the provincial legislature," Gandjar said.
The bill slated for the endorsement is firm in one area: Hamengkubuwono and the Paku Alam must resign their memberships from political parties to retain their appointments as the leaders of the administration.
Hamengkubuwono previously said that he was ready to resign from the Golkar Party's patron boards and renounce his connections to the National Democratic Party, which he co-founded. "I will accept the ban," he told reporters on Tuesday.
Separately, Ari Dwipayana, a political analyst from Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, said that the ban, however, should not bar Hamengkubuwono from seeking higher office. "This clause does not abolish his constitutional rights to be elected as president or vice president," he said.

So after a wery long time I wanted to use my xbox chipped with duox2.
Then I remembered that the DVD in it is trash and that I long time ago formatted and used the harddrive in a PC.
Now I have a 300gb IDE harddrive, is there any possible way to get this xbox to work?
It boots fine with the custom color logo so the chip and xbox should be fine, all I need is to somehow get Evolutionx or XBMC as dashboard onto to it.

New playground built in the Homestead community
caines | 4/4/2013, 5:30 a.m.
The dreams of 367 formerly homeless children ultimately became a reality as hundreds of volunteers gathered at the Verde Gardens community in Homestead to build a new playground from scratch in less than eight hours, with its design incorporating several elements from the childrens original drawings. The playground project funded by a partnership initiated by the communitys developer Carrfour Supportive Housing with the James S. James L. Kight Foundation was launched months earlier, when the children of Verde Gardens were asked to put crayon to paper to draw their dream playground. Our partnership with KABOOM! and the Knight Foundation has brought happiness into the lives of hundreds of formerly homeless children living at Verde Gardens and in the Homestead area, said Stephanie Berman-Eisenberg, president of Carrfour Supportive Housing, the communitys developer and operator. The overwhelming outpouring of support from everyone that volunteered their time has resulted in a new playground that will make a positive difference in the lives of our communitys children for years to come. Home to one of the most innovative supportive housing programs in the country, Verde Gardens a $20 million partnership between the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust and nonprofit affordable housing developer Carrfour Supportive Housing is a supportive housing community in Homestead, Florida for formerly homeless families and individuals with special needs, which includes a 22-acre on-site organic farm and public farmers market that is operated by residents.

Slot Machine Strategies and Tips
Basic Strategy
Most people think that slots is just a game of random chance. It is easy to see how folks could get this idea into their heads, but let's remember that modern slots are run by computer processors, not gerbils running on a wheel. Payouts are run almost on a sort of schedule. The key to winning at slots is being in the right place, at the right time, and in the right moment in that machines schedule. This is not as hard as it may sound. There are nine things you can do to increase your chances of winning at a slot machine.
1. Seek out the highest payout possible. This piece of advice may fall into the category of "Duh", but many players disregard this truism. There can be a difference of 10% or more in the payback percentage offered by the same slot machine located in a casino in Detroit versus a casino in Las Vegas. The player will fare much better in a place where the general payback percentages are greater;
2. Seek out the higher pay machines. These machines will generally be located in high visibility areas. The reason for this placement is so that folks will notice the machine paying off and be inclined to try their own luck. You may well find the loosest slots in the places where they can be seen by like an elevated carousel. This does not mean that all the machines on a carousel are loose. Slot managers being the cagey S.O.B.'s that they are usually mix their tight slots in the same carousel as their loose slots;
3. Join the player's club and always use your player's card. Membership has its privileges, unfortunately these advantages to not manifest themselves at the slot machine. You will win or lose just like a non-member, but the card may help you get some of your money back. Many casinos offer a "cashback" program that gives the player back a percentage of their total play. Additionally, all casinos offer comps. Take advantage of these offers, join the player's club and always use your card.
4. Cheapskates are rarely rewarded at the slot machine. Play the maximum number of coins at all times: Payback percentages are calculated to include the jackpot amounts. It is almost a rule that Jackpots are only paid on maximum coin pulls.
5. Seek out single payline machines. These machines are less expensive to play. Your money will last longer, and your chances of winning a big jackpot, will be greater on a single payline machine;
6. Stick to two coin or three coin machines. This will help you stretch out your bankroll, and increase your chances of running into a jackpot.
7. Never walk into the casino with having a money management and playing strategy set up.
8. Things with the word "progressive" in them are usually a bad idea and will cost you money in the end. Payouts on progressives are much lower than on regular slot machines.
9. Stick to the budget you have set up to play. If you have decided to play only $200, put that money in one cup. Put your winnings in a separate cup. When the $200 cup is empty, go home with the winnings in your other cup. Your winnings should not inflate the original budget you have set up. If you gamble with your winnings you will probably just give it all back to the casino.
More Slots Strategies
Have you ever wondered how to get better at Slot Machines? Ever wanted to know some simple tips on how to play? Well here I have compiled a list of some tips that might help you out when you are playing those Slot Machines at the casino.
We all know that most people go to the casinos to make a little bit of money on the side, but the most important tip that I or anybody else would have given you is that you have to have to have fun. If you don't have fun while you are playing Slot Machines, it isn't a good thing. Getting frustrated can get you to "go tilt" or in other words lose your cool and start betting (and losing) a lot of money.
You should quit once you start getting mad because you will almost always end up losing when you aren't thinking clearly. Cut your loses, pretend you are starting at even the next day and play like you normally would. We all think that we're due for a win. So don't go off the deep end like "Damn it! I lost 13 straight spins! I know I'll hit the payline this time. I'm going to bet $50. Crap!"
Streaky Slot Machines
Hot Streaks
First off you have to know about hot or cold streaks. In my experience, all slot machines go through hot and cold spells. Usually, I will categorize it a hot streak if the paylines hit for 2 times your bet or more five times during a 20 spin cycle. Recognizing and anticipating when these hot streak are going to start or have started will end up winning you a lot of money. Its risky, but there are signs you can pick up that it is coming. They are subtle hints that are hard to pick up.
What I am basing this off of is the primary approach that I go about playing. I like to do hundreds of spins to give myself as large of a sample as possible. This gives you a feel for how often things occur and when you should be expecting to see them again. Here are some examples:
Most video slots that I've played with bonus rounds, you should expect the bonus round to be achieved every 100-200 spins. If it has been longer than 200 spins, then you will want to bump up your bet and you should be rewarded soon. I've had the feeling so many times and been one or two spins away from bumping up the bet only to have a large win happen. Free spins are very similar, but will happen less often than the bonus round most of the time.
Another thing to watch for is how often large paylines hit. On average, I see a 10 times the bet winner every 50 to 100 spins. I see a 20 times the bet winner every 100 to 200 spins. I see larger than 20 times the bet winners happen about once every 500 spins and the jackpots (for non-progressive slots) usually hit about one in 5000-10000 spins
Cold Streaks
Likewise, I've seen some cold streaks that last more than 30 spins without getting a winning bet. The best way to spot these trends is that they will usually start out with five or more spins that do not hit on any payline, followed by scattered small payline wins that don't equal your initial bet. If you spot this in advanced, you can go down to the minimum or next to the lowest coin size allowed. Then spin, spin, spin until you see the reels come back to life.
Adjusting your bets accordingly during hot and cold streaks is one of the ways I've actually made money playing slots. You strike when the iron is hot and you back way off when the slots are empty.
Auto Spins
This is also a middle ground where action is happening, but not consistently. Usually I have found that during these spells you will not lose a lot of money relative to the size of the bet you are making. During these times, I like to set up the autospins feature (if available) to bet the largest bet that I am comfortable betting. then I give the autospins program some parameters.
Here are the things I want the auto spins to stop for: If I lose more than X amount of dollars, if I gain X amount of dollars and if a single spin wins more than X amount of dollars. These are important because they all say something about how things have progressed. A large winning payline doesn't happen all the time; therefore I want to know when it happens. If I'm betting $1 per spin and I've lost more than $50 over a hundred to two hundred spins, I'm going to know that something is coming soon.
Random Number Generator
But what about the Random Number Generator? Aren't you just blowing hot air with your strategies?
Yes, a RNG randomly selects all the symbols you are going to get. It creates a thousand different combinations every second. But these machines also have other chips built into them and those are programmed to make sure that a machine is not taking too much money or paying out too much money. Therefore, if the RNG is about to do a jackpot hit the program can manually decide whether or not to let it happen.
It can also make sure that large wins are randomly done every so many spins more or less. That doesn't mean that it has to do this. You can go 500 or more spins without a bonus round or free spins when the average should be 100-200 spins.
All I'm saying is that there definitely are patterns that you can pick up on and I have won money doing it this way. I've also lost money trying to do what I described before. There is no magic bullet or guaranteed way of winning. Being attentive to what has happened and anticipating what will happen next is one of the only ways to win in the long run with slots.
Everyone wishes they could have a time machine that would take them back 5 seconds in the past. Bet it all right now! But then the casinos would start banning people who were winning unexpectedly.
Other Tips
Another common tip that you might have already known would be to not play with money that you don't have, or can't afford to lose. You must pay your bills first before you ever even hit the gambling floor. That is the responsible and adult thing to do.
When you play slot machines you never know if you will win or lose, so please don't expect to win every time you go to play at the slots.
Another tip I can give you is to join slot casinos and take advantage of some of the offers and rebates that they have to offer. There are many slot bonuses that help increase your chance of winning. Go back to the home page and see which casinos I like and have played at or check out this online slots guide at realmoneyslotsonline.com.
An obvious tip is to play the machine that is within your budget that you can afford. That way you can play longer, and have a greater chance of winning. Let's say you play a machine with a higher denomination you will only be able to play a few games, and what fun is that when you can many games on a lesser denomination machine.
I hope you have you have enjoyed my tips that will make your experience playing the slot machines in casinos and elsewhere a totally enjoyable experience.

Sorry, copyright restrictions prevent us from showing this object here
Presented by the Patrons of New Art (Special Purchase Fund) through the Tate Gallery Foundation 2000
Gibbs makes drawings based on photographs using black ink on graph paper. Every square of the graph's grid is filled with a symbol of varying tone. The tonal differences follow the shades of light and dark in the photograph and result in the abstracted representation of a scene. Gibbs's symbols were originally inspired by knitting and crochet patterns. Since he graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1996 he has been developing his personal range of simple forms. These include diagonal lines, crosses and, in Window and Wall (Tate T07597), circles with or without a dot in the centre. A spectrum of tones is created by using thicker and thinner nibbed pens and applying more or less pressure. The forms and compositions are becoming progressively simpler. Earlier drawings were made up of a combination of different symbols. Recent drawings, like Wall and Window, are made up of only one type of symbol. Initially Gibbs worked with found images of interiors, usually, but not always, empty of human presence. In 1999 he was working with photographs of hotel rooms selected from holiday brochures advertising package tours. More recently he has based his drawings on photographs of hotel façades which he has taken himself.
Window is an image of a window behind twin beds in a hotel room. The image is dominated by broad dark stripes on the bedcovers. The stripes form parallel lines extending diagonally across the drawing from the foreground in the bottom right corner towards the window in the upper left corner. They are echoed by two planks forming the headboard of the bed. The window is partially covered by a section of curtain. It is vertically bisected by a dark 'line' representing the frame, which meets another dark horizontal 'line' representing the windowsill. To the right of the curtain, an indecipherable picture hangs on the wall behind the beds. A night table and a chair are shadowy forms in the space between the beds and between one bed and the curtain behind it. The entire image is rendered using the symbol of a circle with a dot in its centre. Gibbs varies the tone with the thickness of his line using all possible combinations of circles and dots (fine dots in the centre of both dark and light circles; big, dark dots in both light and dark circles, etcetera). The word 'Chartwell', the brand of the graph paper, is printed at the top right corner of the page. The graph's grid is based on imperial, rather than metric, measurements. The lines are one tenth of an inch apart, resulting in circles each one tenth of an inch in diameter.
While the grid and repetitive structure of Gibbs's drawings evoke computer printouts, the circles themselves, individually drawn by the artist, have an organic, hand-made quality. The drawings are the result of hours of intense concentration and careful observation. They are reminiscent of a series of untitled drawings on graph paper made in 1967 by German artist Eva Hesse (1936-70), which consist of uniform blocks of circles and crosses drawn into the grid. The technique of reproducing a photograph through its tonal gradations rather than by line was pioneered by American artist Chuck Close (born 1940). In the early 1970s he began exploring the dissolution and recreation of photographic portraits in a series of black and white drawings using the grid format and a range of greys, derived from a combination of ink and pencil. His Self Portrait Etching 1977 (Tate P07387) is made up of diagonal lines contained in the small squares of a grid. Gibbs's drawings are based on colour photographs and therefore require another stage of translation into black and white tones. With their subtle gradations, the drawings appear most clearly defined when viewed from a distance. Close up, the symbols form an abstract patterning hard for the eye to focus on. Gibbs's technique dissolves the clarity of the image, resulting in ghostly effects. Based on images of impersonal spaces, Gibbs's automated method heightens the atmosphere of emptiness and rootlessness already present in his found images of bland, standardised hotel rooms.

Hardening systems with AppArmor
After penetrating a remote system, intruders might think they are home and dry, but AppArmor spoils the fun, locking the miscreants in a virtual cage.
Nobody's perfect – and this is particularly true of software. Any non-trivial application will have its fair share of programming errors. Intruders exploit these errors, taking control of the software, and making the program do things the developer never envisaged. The situation starts to become critical if the application has privileges that are different from the privileges of the attacker. For example, the ping command requires root privileges in order to send the special packet formats that it needs. But it is theoretically possible for the process to misuse its root privileges to cause all kinds of trouble. Although ping is a well-behaved program, an attacker capable of hijacking the tool would have unrestricted access to the rest of the system.

After 10 days, I received this morning my order in my mail.
I've examined the boxes, and apart that the SIAC's box plastic base was a bit worn off, they shipped in mint condition.
Just trying to figure out if they are counterfeits: I've ordered them from a retailer in the UK. The SIAC's box says Made in Europe with the EU flag and the STU's box has both the US and EU flags and says Printed in Spain. I know that the company's offices are in Spain, so I guess that's right.
Any other tips on how I can determine the genuinity of my products?
Good day to you!
