Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport is an area of focus for antitrust regulators' review of the proposed American Airlines-US Airways merger. US Airways holds more than half of the airport's slots, but US Airways CEO Doug Parker said divesting slots could harm service to smaller cities. "If US Airways or the new American were asked to divest slots, we would, by definition, divest those that are the least lucrative to the airline," US Airways CEO Doug Parker said.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

We loved the food! Perfecto! It's a small place but it's fantastic! We ate outside & enjoyed it. The pulpo & calamari were soft, not chewy & made to order. Raxo was full of flavor. Service was personal, & helpful.
You should probably call and confirm that they are open before traveling to specifically eat here. Taking a trip through Galicia and this was going to be our one dinner in pontedeume.. Now we are eating at a random bar and they are losing out on a lot of money 💵
Great busy and non touristy vibe. The tapas was delicious and perfectly cooked. Very simple seafood to highlight its own flavour, great to share with the wine in a saucer. Cheap too. Great atmosphere.
Small, frenetically busy, very basic simple cheap good tapas.
For those brave enough to try the Percebes (goose barnacles) are excellent .
Good local white wine.

Experts have revealed that they fear a lack of UK economic growth in 2011 could have a negative impact on savings accounts for Britons in the next few months.
With inflation running at 4.4% for February, the Bank of England announced again this week that they would leave interest rates at 0.5%, for the 25th month in a row, as they 'wait and see' before acting.
Pure FX expert James Roberts revealed, "The chancellor revised [gross domestic product] down to 1.7 per cent. I tend to agree with him. I really don't think growth is going to be particularly good this year. I wouldn't challenge [the chancellor's] figures."
With the Bank of England afraid to increase the base rate as it could push the country back into a recession, low interest rates for savers look set to stay.
There was a glimmer of hope as Bank of England figures showed that mortgage approvals had increased to 46,967 in February, which was up 1.2% compared with the last six months.
Natasha Ter Braak from children's savings website, MyEggNest.com revealed, "Savings can be boosted in two ways. One is the economy performing well, which in turn means investments have stronger returns and savers get better returns on their savings. The second being a higher interest rate on savings, which will only happen if the base rate increases.
"With this unlikely to happen until the Bank of England see a substantial improvement in the state of the economy, it's unlikely savings conditions will improve in the next few months."

Since my first try on 2-20-08, I finally made this recipe again--and had better results this time. I think the first time, I had crushed the chips too finely, thus using far more than I needed. They should be crushed LIGHTLY, with your hand, leaving them in fairly large pieces. The 9 X 13 pan was still pretty full (a little above the top), but the foil over it helped everything to stay in place and the meal was delicious. A great balance of everything. Yum! We'll add it to our "regulars."
I brown my beef (or substitute ground turkey) and onions in the microwave in a pan with a colander. I can use the cheapest ground beef and easily get out all the fat, since I'm using spices anyways I don't need to fry the fat in for flavor. It's fast -- 6 minutes per pound in the average micro. and you can through all the disgusting guck away instead of eating it. I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I leave them out, but no one notices. I like Safeway's Southwest Salsa the best with this recipe, it has a lot of chunky vegetables in it. Great recipe! You can make the whole thing in the micro, but you use a little of the crunch of the chips. To figure out how long to cook it, weigh the pan before you put in the ingredients, then weigh it again when it's full, and cook it 6 minutes per pound of ingredients. Of course you have to be using a microwave safe pan.
I have no stove at the moment so I made this with my forman and the crockpot. Browned the meat & onions in the forman, then followed your directions only using my crockpot. (I have a large oval one) I have to tell you this was GREAT!!!! I love the difference the sour cream and cottage cheese made in this recipe. I used extra spices and will probably kick it up even more the next time. And ......there WILL BE a next time! Topped with fresh diced tomatoes and jalapenos. I think this is my new favorite Mexican dish. Thanks parsley, this is 5+ stars.

I Dropped My iPhone In Water, What Now?
Posted: Jun 15 2014
Tagged: device iPhone new-articles popular Water Damage
If you have dropped your iPhone in water, follow these steps:
- Remove your iPhone from the water as soon as physically possible.
- Turn the iPhone off immediately. (If it's plugged in, unplug it straight away and be careful!)
- Remove iPhone from case and disconnect any headphones, chargers, cables etc. (if necessary)
- Remove the battery, SIM card and any other components you can that were exposed to liquid damage.
- Dry the iPhone off with a piece of fabric (Do not use a hair dryer or place in an oven or microwave)
- Give the iPhone a little shack to get rid of any water that maybe left inside. Alternatively, you could use a Q – Tip to get into the different smaller areas of the phone.
- Leave it in a warm place, but not too warm.
- Finally, send your phone to Quick Mobile Fix, as we repair water damaged iPhone's at low cost with a 1 year warranty on all repairs. However, this is not a guaranteed repair service. And if additional repairs are needed, you will be contacted straight away.
One Final Warning: There are many DIY phone repair remedy's, that do work in certain circumstances, however, many of these treatments actually cause more damage in the long run, especially to the battery that will only become apparent months later. For example, a famous case involved someone who used the rice technique to dry out his phone that he dropped in the pool, months later his iPhone 3GS spontaneously overheated. We highly recommend you visit a phone repair specialist.
All iPhones have indicators to show if they have been affected by water (liquid) - click here to see where the indicators are on your iPhone.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from essay:
There is nearly a constant influx of new technological developments in this industry as well, which only makes the task of staying current with them all the more challenging. The intent of this paper is to describe how Blizzard would be able to structure a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program that would financially support programming courses for lower income children throughout inner cities and rural areas. The essence of a strong CSR program is that it enriches and provides a higher level of value and improves the quality of a person's life for the long-term. Those sponsoring CSR programs have also found reciprocal benefits from staying focused on their core strengths and working to translate associated skills into long-term value for those they seek to build up (Berens, van Riel, van Rekom, et.al.). The challenge then for creating any CSR program is to concentrate first on the skill sets to be provided, followed by defining from a logistics standpoint how they will be accomplished. The creating of value from any CSR program concentrates on measuring and evaluating the long-tern value gained by those the program is meant to serve (Berens, van Riel, van Rekom, 234-236).
Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics
The reliance on governed compliance in the form of Sarbanes-Oxley and other forms of government-mandated ethics are a cost drain on any organization. CSR
Programs on the other hand significantly change the level of ethical behavior in organizations by concentrating on providing value over time to those that cannot pay the company back, generating a higher level of altruism as a result (Cacioppe, Forster, Fox, 681, 683.) This has the accumulative effect of raising the entire level of ethical behavior and standards on an organization. Arguably the use of CSR programs to bring a higher level of ethical behavior and standards into a company has not been quantitatively measured or defined with a highly scientific Return on Investment (ROI) yet there are studies linking the ethical behavior of superiors to those of their subordinates, and the one critical factor in defining any person's level of ethics in an organization is the ethics of their superiors (McDonald, Pak, 1996).
CSR programs then are much more critical to any organization than simply generating good Public Relations or publicity; they are in fact one of the most critical aspects of a proactive approach to defining the ethical climate in an organization. The implications of strong CSR programs over time have direct ramifications on the ethics of an organization. One need only consider Cisco and their approach to CSR programs to see how effective they can be in not only setting the best possible tone for ethics yet also enriching the surrounding community as well. For Blizzard, the development of educational program to give inner city, suburban and rural children from low-income households the opportunity to learn programming skills must begin with a community-based focus first. Then from this community-based platform, the company can create learning programs and form a Blizzard University for these children and eventual college students to grow in programming skills and knowledge. As the fields of programming, specifically Web-based programming where standards for JAVA, AJAX, PERL, Python, the language Google is programmed in, are all changing rapidly, a technologically-based CSR program is in their self-interest as well. But even more fundamental than that, Blizzard can assist its managers and their subordinates to stay focused on ethics by stressing how important supporting a CSR program is. The research of McDonald, Pak (et.al.) show that to the extent a company has a series of initiatives that force managers and their subordinates to concentrate on ethical behavior, that the effect is cumulative and has a direct bearing on the ethical choices of subordinates. Besides helping to educate the next generation of programmers and potentially also benefiting from this investment, Blizzard is re-orienting their internal culture to be more focused on altruism and what can be done for others, and accumulatively this directly impacts the ability of managers to stay in compliance to ethical guidelines as well. CSRs are not only good for communities they are also great for keeping companies focused on the values of being ethical over time. One of the companies that Blizzard needs to model from their implementation of CSR programs is Cisco who has four strategic areas of CSR programs. They have their own Cisco University yet also fund programs in the San Francisco Bay area where they are located.
Modeling Cisco's CSR Programs and Initiatives
Cisco is considered to be one of the most ethically astute and well-run companies in the United States today, receiving many awards for their work on Social Responsibility Initiatives and Corporate Citizenship. Many academicians who study the link of corporate ethics and CSR programs point to the approach Cisco uses to manage its Corporate Citizenship as the overarching initiative to keep all CSR programs in synchronization with each other. For Blizzard, this is a pragmatic consideration; creating first a Corporate Citizenship strategy that includes support for the areas of educational outreach to low-income children, Blizzard University for high school and college-age students who want to also learn about game programming, and grants and subsidies for local nonprofit organizations who need their assistance. Taking this platform-based approach and modeling it after Cisco, Blizzard stands a very good change of sustaining its performance and results achieved on CSR initiatives for the long-term.
Cisco has a specific department just for its Corporate Citizenship Programs, which have won awards from all major cities in the Bay Area, including the economically disadvantaged areas of Oakland. Cisco Corporate Citizenship (2008) also has a report equal and scope and size as the entire corporations' annual report and details the company's major initiatives to the a world leader in the best practices of citizenship as a corporation globally. The company's code of conduct is 16 pages long and has grown as a result of the company's many mergers, acquisitions and moves into emerging markets, which are very successful according to the analysis completed earlier in this report. The fact that the ethics creed is on every employee badge at Cisco is a testament of how deeply CEO John Chambers believes in this strategy of continually reinforcing ethical behavior. Not a single executive at Cisco has been indicted on insider trading or any other ethical lapses -- a rare feat given the rampant behavior of Enron and others in the late 90s and throughout the early 21st century. Given the pervasive belief in doing well by doing good within the Cisco culture, Blizzard needs to work very hard to emulate these practices in defining their educational programs for low-income children and also for high school and college students.
Blizzard Needs To Supplant Education-Based CSR Programs
What Blizzard also must do as part of their education-based CSR strategy is to seek out nonprofit educational institutions that also require funding and assistance as Cisco does in the San Francisco Bay Area to funding technology-related teaching programs. Blizzard can do the same. Two of the critical building blocks of a corporate-wide CSR programs are defining the Blizzard Community and Philanthropy Program and the Blizzard Grants and Donations Program. Cisco has comparable programs in place for each of these strategies and has found it necessary from a purely administrative standpoint to have these two departments supporting their educational efforts as well. Both of these departments would also be given the reasonability of targeting which urban suburban and rural elementary schools to provide grants and financial aid to in the form of PCs, networks and programming courseware. Cisco has developed an entire application process by which elementary schools can apply for network started kits and advanced networking tutorials that, in conjunction with grants for the purchase of PCs and networking equipment, form the foundation for any school to be able to provide programming instruction and teaching. Blizzard needs to have these two departments, the Blizzard Community and Philanthropy Program and the Blizzard Grants and Donations Program, concentrate on creating a shared strategy for reaching out to schools who need their assistance the most and supporting them across both philanthropy and grants and donations. The focus on the former is geographically launching and then supporting the Blizzard programming educational support, and the latter, with continually funding the programs once they have been launched. Cisco has found that having an overarching CSR strategy that coordinates these two departments specifically gives them greater responsiveness to individual school and nonprofit organization requests. Creating this type of comparable structure is critical for Blizzard to launch and then sustain CSR programs with the goal of teaching programming techniques and new languages.
The Next Step: Creating Internship Opportunities
Taking another lesson learned from Cisco, Blizzard needs to also consider the progression of learning from fundamental concepts taught to elementary and middle school students to internships for high school and college-age students as well.…[continue]

The New York Times Bits blogger Saul Hansell notes that in the world of broadcasting, PBS shuns commercials. On the web, things are different. The publicly supported, not-for-profit TV network just announced a deal for several programs to be streamed on the Hulu, including "Nova," "Wired Science," "Carrier" and "Scientific American Frontiers." Hulu will place a 30-second advertisement before each program, splitting the revenue with PBS.

Chunky Taco Soup
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 20 mins
I got this recipe from a Taste of Home book. My family loves it and we probably have it once a month. I usually substitute the sirloin with hamburger, and I always use a squirt of Kraft Ranch Dressing as opposed to the envelope. And I use regular corn instead of cream-style. It's easy and quick.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless beef top sirloin steaks, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 2 cups water
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14 3/4 ounce) can cream-style corn
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
- 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
- In a large kettle or Dutch oven, brown beef and onion in oil.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the cilantro.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until meat is tender. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Mine's coming next week. Not sure why it's taking so long though. I saw in the tracking that it's already in my town, not sure why it's going to take another week to get to my house. Oh well, it's better than getting it in September I guess Please Register or Log in to view images

Kerry Katona Gets Channel 4 Show
February 26, 2010 by Emily Moulder
Filed under - Home, News
Troubled personality Kerry Katona has struck a deal with Channel 4, according to reports in The Sun.
The star will be paid £50,000 to let a camera crew document her split with Mark Croft and her attempts to lose weight. Honestly, we'd rather be eaten by Alsatians than watch this.
Croft split with the mum-of-four last week after he accused of her cheating on him with a married fitness trainer.
An inside source commented on the deal, "This is Kerry's chance to set the record straight about what's been happening in her life over the past few months."
Reports have indicated that the star signed a deal because she's a bit short on cash since she was dropped from the Iceland adverts. After photos emerged of her allegedly snorting cocaine, the star's been threatened with having her house repossessed.

FRED HAGER, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD OF REVIEW, RESPONDENT
Appeal from the Order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review in the case of In Re: Claim of Fred Hager, No. B-211221.
Louis R. Dadowski, for petitioner.
Michael D. Alsher, Associate Counsel, with him, Richard L. Cole, Jr., Chief Counsel, for respondent.
Judges Rogers, Colins and Barbieri, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Barbieri.
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 8]
Fred Hager, Claimant, appeals here the decision of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) denying him benefits under the provisions of Section 402(e) of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Law (Law)*fn1 (willful misconduct).
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 9]
Claimant's application for benefits was first approved by the Office of Employment Security (OES), but appeal resulted in denial of benefits by a referee. On subsequent appeal to the Board, the case was remanded to the referee for further hearing as Hearing Officer for the Board. Following the Board's consideration thereafter benefits were denied and this appeal followed.
The facts simply stated are that the Claimant was employed as food service director for the employer, St. Barnabas, Inc., a convalescent home, until his last day of work on May 24, 1982. The Board's principal findings are that the Claimant was employed in this post for eleven months; that the largest fund-raising event of the year was a Founder's Day Dinner, scheduled for June 6, 1982; that Claimant was advised by the director of operations the week before his last day of work that she had engaged a food service consultant to assist in this major event because, in her opinion, Claimant would need assistance since some other events run by Claimant had not worked out satisfactorily; that Claimant informed the director of operations on the morning of May 24, 1982, that he would not work with a consultant for the Founder's Day Dinner on June 6, 1982 "because he would consider it an affront to his professional ability."*fn2 The following findings were made by the Board:
6. The director of operations requested the claimant to reconsider his decision and the claimant agreed to do so.
7. Later in the afternoon of May 24, 1982, the claimant informed the director of operations that his decision not to work with the consultant at the Founder's Day Dinner still stood.
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 108]
. At that point, the director of operations informed the claimant that his services would not be needed, and the claimant's employment was terminated effective May 24, 1982.
The Board's Discussion contains the following statement:
In the instant case, the claimant was discharged because he refused to work with a consultant at the employer's biggest event of the year. The record further reveals that the claimant would still have the ultimate control of the event. The consultant was engaged because the employer was of the opinion that the claimant needed assistance for the event. The claimant's decision not to work with the consultant was against the best interest of the employer and constitutes willful misconduct in connection with work. Accordingly, the claimant is disqualified under the provisions of Section 402(e) of the Law.
Claimant, in his presentation before us, principally presents arguments portraying his conception of findings that could have been made by the Board. He urges that the Board has "ignored substantial competent evidence"; that the Board's finding of willful misconduct was not justified under the evidence; that the employer actually demoted the Claimant without cause from his position as food service manager; that the refusal to accept such a demotion does not constitute willful misconduct since the refusal was to accept an unreasonable demotion or to decline a subordinate position; that Claimant was actually replaced in his management position and was "constructively fired" from his position as food service manager. Claimant relies upon several cases which, on examination, deal with voluntary termination of employment under the provisions of Section 402(b) of the Law, whereas the
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 11]
Board's decision in this case found ineligibility for benefits under the provisions of Section 402(e) of the Law for willful misconduct. While the Board noted that " even had the Claimant voluntarily terminated his employment because of a dissatisfaction for working with the consultant, this would not be cause of a necessitous and compelling reason pursuant to Section 402(b) of the Law," (Emphasis the Board's), the Board's sole conclusion of law was the following: "Conclusion OF LAW : The claimant is ineligible for benefits under the provisions of Section 402(e) of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Law."
Accordingly, we will consider this case as one under Section 402(e) of the Law*fn3 which provides that: "[a]n employee shall be ineligible for compensation for any week -- [i]n which his unemployment is due to his discharge or temporary suspension from work for willful misconduct connected with his work. . . ." While the term "willful misconduct" is not defined in the Law, it has been defined as an act of wanton or willful disregard of the employer's interests, a deliberate violation of the employer's rules, a disregard of the standards of behavior which the employer has a right to expect of an employee, or negligence indicating an intentional disregard of the employer's interests or of the employee's duties and obligations to the employer. Kentucky Fried Chicken of Altoona, Inc. v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 10 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 90, 309 A.2d 165 (1973).
The burden of proof of "willful misconduct", such as will render a claimant ineligible for benefits, is on
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 12]
the employer. Bignell v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 61 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 568, 434 A.2d 869 (1981). Also, when the party with the burden of proof, as in this case, has prevailed before the Board, our scope of review is limited to questions of law and the determination of whether the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence. Lake v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 48 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 138, 409 A.2d 126 (1979). Furthermore, in considering the evidence, the prevailing party below, the employer in this case, is entitled to such favorable inferences as can reasonably and logically be drawn from the evidence, Winnail v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 31 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 114, 375 A.2d 849 (1977), and while the question of whether or not an employee's actions for which he was discharged constitute willful misconduct is a matter of law subject to review by our appellate courts, McLean v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 476 Pa. 617, 383 A.2d 533 (1978), the Board is the ultimate fact finder. Pryor v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 82 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 523, 475 A.2d 1350 (1984). Furthermore, in meeting our review obligations in a willful misconduct case, we must determine whether refusal to comply with a directive or request of the employer can constitute willful misconduct, bearing in mind that in order to make this determination, we must evaluate not only the reasonableness of the employer's request or directive under the circumstances,*fn4 but also the employee's reason for non-compliance. We stated in Pryor :
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 13]
If the employee's behavior was justifiable or reasonable under the circumstances, it cannot be considered willful misconduct. Stated simply, if there was "good cause" for the employee's action, she cannot be held to have committed willful misconduct. McLean v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 476 Pa. 617, 383 A.2d 533 (1978); Hartman v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 71 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 628, 455 A.2d 756 (1983).
Of course, it is the employee's burden to prove good cause for his refusal. Gane v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 41 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 292, 398 A.2d 1110 (1979).
Our examination of the record convinces us that there is substantial evidence therein to support the Board's findings and its conclusion that the refusal of Claimant to work with the consultant in connection with the Founder's Day Dinner was the refusal of a reasonable request without good cause and that, therefore, Claimant's refusal of the assignment was willful misconduct. The weakness of Claimant's position on this appeal, we believe, lies in his contentions based upon his, and not the Board's interpretation of the facts,*fn5 particularly in his assertion that the order to serve with the consultant appointed by the employer constituted a demotion or a reduction of his status to a subordinate position. On the testimony in the record, the Board could properly conclude, a reasonable inference, that the consultant's services were temporary; solely for the important event on June 6, 1982. In a prior experience, this same consultant had been
[ 86 Pa. Commw. Page 14]
employed temporarily with regard to a major event; incidentally, without Claimant's refusal to serve with him on that occasion.
Accordingly, since we find substantial evidence to support the Board's findings and no error of law in its conclusion, we will affirm.
Now, October 31, 1984, the decision of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review at Decision No. B-211221, dated October 27, 1982, is affirmed.

Formation of a Metastable Celsian-Cordierite Eutectic Structure During the Crystallization of a Ba-Osumilite Glass–Ceramic
L. Pickney—contributing editor
Supported by the European Commission under Grant No. BRE2-CT93-3004, and the K.U. Leuven Research Council under Grant No. DB/97/26.
†Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
This work addresses the formation conditions and stability of a celsian-cordierite eutectic structure produced during the crystallization of a barium magnesium aluminosilicate (BMAS) glass–ceramic with the Ba-osumilite stoichiometry. The melt-derived BMAS glass–ceramic was pulverized and subsequently hot pressed to produce sintered powder compacts, some of which were subjected to post-sintering heat treatments in air. The study of the devitrified BMAS glass revealed that a metastable celsian-cordierite eutectic structure resulted from the prolonged annealing of the BMAS glass–ceramic between 860° and 1000°C. The celsian-cordierite eutectic structure transformed to the thermodynamically stable Ba-osumilite phase when annealed at temperatures >1000°C.

Notes & Reviews:
"[Rostropovich's] energy would have put many younger conductors to shame and his inspiration and insight, as well as the incendiary virtuosity of the LSO players, made this a uniquely convincing performance." - The Guardian "A Rostropovich performance is impossible to experience in the abstract. The Fifth Symphony breathed out a sense of moral struggle." - The Times

Think it is about time I put up a proper intro.
You have now entered the Funkgun-FunZone. If you are a smart lad or lass, I might warn you of excessive brain freezing that goes on in these parts.
First it is ever so tastey, then it starts to hurt. place index fingers to the sides of your nose. Let the mind warm up.
You're all better now.
As for me, been watching anime since the mid 80's. (chopped up and kiddy friendly) then watched it propper uncut in the early 90's. I have seen anime on everything from a betamax, to LD, to a VHS with no subs and a the subtitles written down for me on reams of paper having to match lines of dialog with the counter on the machine.
I have been on clubs, taken years for breaks and seen a lot of titles. I have gone through binges of anime, and droughts. I have drained precious cash on silly trinkets of my animation ambition.
It has been a heck of a ride.
Thanks for your time. if you wish a refund on the time for reading this, send me a PM requesting it... I shall bring it before the elders in my head then if so prompted I will reach through dimentions and time and rewrite this synopsis. =D
ok... so now we are done.
ps. I am married to http://www.anime-planet.com/users/Penguin77
Had to drag her into anime...
17,320 total episodes
I still have a long way to go when compared to you FunkGun. Hopefully we will watch again a random anime that has maybe a better ending too.
Will do!
I'll probably check out Monster on SyFy too, but I can't see myself keeping up with every episode.
And yes~ play Phoenix Wright. It's actually a weird series... despite being about a lawyer... but it has interesting (if sometimes illogical) cases, and a likeable cast. Even a lot of the minor characters are likeable. Though... I also have a high annoying character tolerance, so some of those likeable characters to me, may or may not be annoying to others. >_>
I was planning on watching School Rumble once, but for some reason I just never got around it. It just crossed my mind... and didn't stay, I suppose. I should look into sometime. Maison Ikkoku is a bit long, but I'll make note of it too. I try to stick with shorter series, but sometimes the longer ones tempt me. Almost watched Monster before finding the manga at my library. Well, if you can watch all of Maison Ikkoku plus 522 other anime, then I can make through Maison Ikkoku!
About Kanon, I saw the 2006 version. 2002 is only half the episodes of 2006, and while I haven't seen it, I can't imagine Kanon being cut so short. I do hear it has a little more Shiori, though... so if you watch 2006 and like Shiori a lot, you might want to check out 2002. >_>
Totally, I asked for an action and thats what I got. Haha and yeah, at some points I felt like pulling out my hair while saying "what the hell?!". But im glad Revy was like that, kept it interesting xD. And thanks for the tip, never thought of adding a tag. Well, the 2nd season calls ^^
Actually, this current avi isn't Phoenix Wright related. I was planning on changing my avi to another Phoenix Wright one, but I was in the mood for some twincest instead. *cough*
Yes, Kanon is my favorite out of the three. Kanon was actually was the first subbed, not on American television, anime I saw (thanks to a friend who gave me a brick of... "aquired" anime). I fell in love with it. I don't don't know if I saw it later I would have liked it as much, but I ended up buying it, and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. <3 Air was actually disapointing watching it after Kanon.
I haven't seen any of your top ten.... I... haven't even heard of a few of them. XD I caught an episode of Lupin III and Ghost in the Shell on TV once, but I can't recall much of what happened. >_>

Song of the Day 3/26/09: Pete Doherty - New Love Grows On Trees
"New Love Grows on Trees" bares a sparser form than I'd usually pay attention to, but when Pete Doherty - iconic for his penchant for sex, drugs, rock and roll, drugs and more drugs - takes it down a notch, I have to take notice. On his solo effort, Doherty finds power in the well-timed pause, injecting enough movement in his vocal cadence to puncture a relatively simple guitar backing. In direct opposition to most lyricists, who carve out whole bars of space around their cleverest lines just to be sure we take notice, all of Doherty's strongest lines are hidden behind sudden speed and vocal urgency. "It makes perfect nonsense to me" - listen up or you might miss them.

L.A. Show 'Bait Car' Goes To San Francisco, Hooks In Sucker Suspects By Paying Cops To Take Part
This photo at 'Bait Car's website is captioned "Lots of bracelets."
Bait Car is a Los Angeles-based cable show that entices would-be suspects to essentially steal vehicles that are left parked in sometimes precarious situations with the keys inside.
In fact, that's what happened in San Francisco when a self-described do-gooder hopped into a car left blocking a lane with the engine running. Cullen Farrell grabbed the wheel and hit the gas to look for a proper spot, but by the time he had rounded the block, the po-pos had rolled up with cameras in-tow.
Farrel claims he's innocent. But the story's even more infuriating for the 32-year-old.
The cops' overtime was paid for by the producers, who also donated the bait cars. The whole thing seemed like a made-for-TV set-up. Except that the charges were real.

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

Drunk Party Fails Prove We All Need to Know When to Say When
These party animals are going to be extinct if they keep this up.
These party animals are going to be extinct if they keep this up.
A night he'll never remember became a night he'll never forget.
It's hard to say what was more loaded – the gun or the guy.
When something begins with "drunk mom" you know you're in for a treat.
You can look pretty dumb when you've had too much to drink.
The animal kingdom is filled with all sorts of wonders. This isn't one of them.
When the dead come back to life and start stumbling around searching for human flesh to consume, they walk like someone that's had a few too many, right?
Well, the next step in the parody evolution would naturally be...The Walking Drunk.
Here's a not-so-subtle reminder that you should know when to say when.
A short film called 'Star Drunk' answers a question you didn't know you had: what would a movie look like if it was written by drunk people, directed by a drunk person and starred only drunk actors? Sorry, 'Sharknado.' You no longer hold the title for the most ridiculous movie to come out in 2013.
The long-running rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals turned into a one-sided battle last weekend.
Across the bayou, it is not difficult to find a crossbreed of stark-raving mad drunkards and dive bar sideshows aggressively humping the legs off civil society. Unfortunately, when there is nothing civilized left for these gutter fiends to devour besides the skin in between their teeth, the only hope for the rest of us is that soon the flood waters will rise again and bury these beasts at sea.
There are times when the eyes of an alcoholic reveal a darkness so vast that everything decrepit in the universe appears to makes sense, like a bloodshot looking glass reflecting a message from God - or maybe not. Either way, occasionally a rare breed of sloppy degenerate rises up from the drunken pits of hell to prove to the rest of us that there is a long way to go before we ever hit rock bottom. You'll know them by their frostbitten penises.

Why don't you STFU about promoting the liberal corruption of the GOP? This Tea Party guy is sending the exact right message. As long as he doesn't endorse Obama, he's all good to me. If we get two bad candidates, I'm going to exercise my free speech to say we got two bad candidates.
a candidate who may not share all or even most of your values but at least does NOT HATE the USA.
I don't care what's in his head, I just care what power he's going to be capable of wielding. A gridlocked Obama for 4 more years will probably implement a lot less liberal policy than an empowered Romney for 4-8 years. Very many Republicans are dying to go liberal with Romney because they either believe in things like homosexual marriage or they believe it will get them more votes. If Obama is in office, they'll maintain their opposition to his policy out of fear of Tea Party primary attacks. While we can "primary" liberal Republicans, it seems like presidential elections have proven too big for Tea Partiers to wrangle, especially against Romney's money. So I doubt we'd be able to primary him in 2016 if we couldn't defeat him this time.
A reelected Obama will not be "gridlocked"; if he wins another term, he will almost certainly have a Democrat Senate, and the GOP will have a smaller majority in the House. That is what is so dangerous in assuming the choice betweeen Obama and Romney wouldn't matter, because Romney would have a significantly more conservative Congress to deal with.
My point is that the dynamics of the campaign will dictate down-ballot elections, and if the electorate favors Obama, they will give Harry Reid the majority again. If you thought things were bad since 2008, just imagine what's in store in a second Obama term.

In an effort to move 2008 cars off the lots and make way for 2009 makes and models and also to sell larger vehicles (which aren't so popular right now due to gas prices), manufacturers are offering a wealth of new car incentives and rebates.
These rebates, discounts and leasing deals change rapidly, so a vehicle pricing and information Web site has begun making daily updates to the incentives and rebates information available on its Web site. The industry standard is to update these deals either weekly or monthly.
The daily updates should be helpful both to consumers and to car dealers.
Robin Lewis, director of the incentives and rebates information center at NADAguides.com — the Web site now publishing the daily updates — says incentives and rebates are an integral part of the process of car research and buying. They have, she says, a significant impact on consumers and the types of vehicles they ultimately decide to purchase.
Here is an example of how helping the consumer also helps the retailer. It sounds like a winning development all the way around.

Part 1: The Basics
Disclaimer: I am a crazy person. I read over 50 articles before I wrote this (WHO DOES THAT) and I'm not even sure how I got so sucked in. In short, information security is a big deal right now – and there are tons of ways to combat cybersecurity, risks. Tons. Bad news for my eyeballs, but good news for you, because it means that there are so many ways to protect your organization. Trust me – if you don't find one new piece of advice in here, I will be very surprised – and sad.
Earlier this semester I had an amazing IT class on information security. I'm going to go ahead and give a shout out to my IT professor Dave Chatterjee, because I'm about to shamelessly plunder the information from his class for this post, in addition to all the articles I mentioned above.
First, some stats.
Startling Statistics: Information Security and Data Breaches
From research by Professor Chatterjee:
- 60% of all attacks are caused or aided by disgruntled employees
- 90% of companies will experience some sort of a data breach this year
From Time Magazine:
- New York institutions alone faced 900 data breaches last year, costing a reported $1.37 billion
- One-third of New Yorkers were data breach victims in 2013
Highlights from the 2014 OTA Breach Report:
- 89% of breaches and data loss incidents could have been prevented
- 740 million records disclosed
- 31% of incidents were due to insider threats or mistakes
- 21% of the incidents were the result of physical loss (PC, drive, notebooks, paper documents..)
- 40% of the top breaches recorded to-date occurred in 2013
- 76% of breaches were the result of weak or stolen account credentials
You have to admit, the class was timely. With P.F. Chang's recently reported data breach, not to mention last year's high-profile data breaches at Living Social, Target, Neiman Marcus, Michael's stores, and now potentially Home Depot, information security is a hot topic. Time even wrote a cover story on it – "World War Zero: How Hackers Fight to Steal Your Secrets."
What should be an even hotter topic is that businesses don't get hacked more often, considering the sheer volume of attacks they face. Or perhaps they do get hacked more often, and they just don't know about it. Last year, 3,000 companies didn't even know they'd been attacked until the government informed them of their victim status.
That's pretty terrifying from a personal information security standpoint – I would hope the companies harboring my personal information would at least be aware if their information, and therefore my information, was compromised.
According to Vice, 2013 was the worst year for data breaches. They may be speaking from personal experience – they were hacked just a few weeks ago, and in November of 2013 they were reportedly hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. (To their credit, Vice seems to be taking their own advice: they were well prepared for the attack, passwords were encrypted, making them virtually useless for the hackers, and the vulnerability was patched almost immediately.)
Vice interviewed two members of the Online Trust Alliance (OTA) which recently published the 2014 Data Protection & Breach Readiness Guide (one of the primary sources I consulted for this series.) I found these two quotations from the Vice interviews particularly insightful:
"Being compliant is not good enough…" This phrase in particular struck a chord with me, as I feel like the compliance officer's role is expanding exponentially. We often emphasize that training can't be once and done, awareness programs need more than a poster, Codes of Conduct need to be more than scripted legalese booklets… Nothing is "good enough" without ongoing input from the compliance team.
That's bad news for resource-strapped compliance teams. It gets worse:
That's unacceptable. If there's one thing I've gotten out of my IT class thus far it's that IT can't do everything alone. Compliance can't either. It's time to buddy up and share the load. While the Kroll report implies that perhaps compliance officers aren't comfortable or familiar with the more technical aspects of cyber security, there are plenty of other pieces that the compliance officer can get involved with including information security training.
Join us next week for Part 2 of this series!

Honest Or Sponsored Gear Reviews for Photographers. Which Is Which?
