GROUP 2B - 9,220 / 9,220 (100%) users invited back [last: ] Discuss
My workplace convinces me Jon Stewart was right, Bullshit is everyywherrrre… whatever it is I think I see, becomes a tootsie rooo…..ummm BullShit!!! to me. !!!! arghhh (i'm dating myself when I bring up that tune? I loved that commercial for some reason lol)
anyways every corner of that office, everyone/thing is infused with a varying amount of bullshit.
Something must be in the water cooler, because I find it very odd when I look around, how others can know the criminal activity going on, but remain cool with everything. i guess like how the bully on the playground gets away with everything.. stay on the bully's team. Because the other side is always losing. The business world is so corrupt and so wrong.
I'm the idiot that cares and gets stressed out. I'm a idealistic fool to want justice for all. I'll describe more later when I'm not so worked up about it. when u get to the point your stomach starts to rumble from hunger, that's when you know it's time to wake up when you haven't even gone to bed yet.
random thoughts for the day:
baby deer are one of the sweetest creatures on earth
I was warned when I started work, to "watch out for" a specific co-worker. She wasn't managerial or anything, just that she had a bad attitude and snaps on people, fairly often. And then I would be asked every so often how she was treating me, had she snapped at me, stuff like that. Especially being the new person, I REALLY don't want to get involved in work politics.
The truth is, she has been very nice to me, for the most part. She's a little rough around the edges, but she helps me anytime I need help, is always nice, strikes up conversations with me, and tells me not to be sorry when I apologize for not knowing something, or doing something wrong, or needing her help. I dunno, that seems very progressive, to me.
I have seen that she has some issues with some of the people in our department. I just...honestly, don't get involved, as much as possible.
Today, she was asked to show me how to use a tool and to sign me into it so I could learn by using it. Makes sense, she seemed fine with it, even welcoming when I suggested that we wait until after my break because I was scheduled to go for break in about 5 minutes or so. But at one point, she called our department head, saying she had to talk to them about something. I asked casually if everything was okay and she basically told me that, no, it wasn't, and that she has her own job to do and she shouldn't be expected to babysit others in the department. Almost right away, she turned around and was like "Not about you! I'm not talking about you, don't worry. You're new, you need help, you're learning."
So I'm wondering if that was a slip up, or am I just experiencing more of these politics in my department? It isn't really bugging me, per se, I'm just...I guess curious? If that makes sense? When I went on my break I REALLY wanted to tweet "Am I in trouble, or did I just experience some workplace drama?" but then figured that would be kinda...attention grabbing, I guess?
I've prided myself on getting along with everybody. I hope that can continue without a problem.
I feel like I'm fitting in pretty well at work, and people seem to think I'm a lot younger than I am (someone today guessed 19...dang). That gives me hope that maybe, just MAYBE, I will fit in at college, if I keep my age under wraps until people get to know me? I have to admit, I'm pretty self conscious about being what's considered a "mature student" and being a few/several years older than most of the other students that will be living in campus.
Fitting in has always been important to me because I was bullied so much when I was younger (especially in elementary school and junior high). Highschool wasn't AS bad but I definitely noticed that I had a constant concern and awkwardness about being unliked or not fitting in. I think that's why I didn't do a lot of partying or anything in University, because I was so worried that I didn't fit in, etc. My mom has it in her head that I'm going to live the Hollywood version of college life this time around, and seems to want me to. I think, I mean, I know that she wants what's best for me, and for me to feel fulfilled but it feels like she will be pushing me towards socialization, and I'm not entirely sure that I'm comfortable with that notion, or at least, not in a major way.
And so it is...
I could name at least 50 major corporations that send material to the Pit of Despair to be tested. If they only had knowledge of just how the place was run, maybe they would think twice about doing so...
A 50% annual turnover rate is something most companies would find unacceptable. Everyone from PhDs to machinists eventually bailout, which in turn leads to constant training of new employees and the errors that they make during this period. Part of this is due to the fact that the average employee whether they are hourly or salary work on average 55 hours per week, six days per week. Other factors include, but are not limited to, the fact that the person who runs the place is a sociopath who delights in verbally abusing all those who surround him, the maximum number of vacations day that one can earn is three weeks, no sick days, a large raise is 3% per year, etc., etc...
And yet I go on for work is all I know…
Though eventually work will destroy me for I know this deep within my soul…
That is all…
Carry on…

Coulibaly not in talks with another club, says lawyer
Souleymane Coulibaly's representative denied that the Al Ahly striker is in talks to...
Zamalek legend and ex-assistant coach Hazem Emam made it clear that he can return to the White Castle in the future; however, he made it clear that club president Mortada Mansour is a hard man to work with.
Speaking to Nogoum FM"s Karim Khattab, Emam – who was relieved of his duties alongside head coach Mido back in February – revealed that he still wishes to return to the club
"Maybe I'll be back soon," Hazem Emam replied on if he could return as coach to Zamalek again, or for any other team.
"I'll be waiting for the opportunity, this club is my home, my family."
Hazem Emam also made it clear that a club presidency role "crosses his mind" every now and then, but ruled it out in the near future, whilst also giving his opinion regarding current president Mortada Mansour – who terminated Alex McLeish's contract on Monday.
"Of course it [presidency] crosses my mind, but I am still young and it is way too early to predict something like that, but it is possible," he started.
"Mortada Mansour likes to dictate everything at the club, it's a one man show, which makes it hard to work with him.
"He succeeds using this strategy, but I can't adapt to such a thing. I was a footballer before, changed coaches every once in a while is something I can't accept."
Regarding the possibility of joining EFA candidate Hani Abou Rida's roster for this year's elections, Emam stated: "I didn't decide yet, but I am interested."

If I had just one more marble...
I should not have looked at Winona Sue
the prettiest girl in grade four
but if you know her, then you would too
So, Johnny Kerpucket, he scored
I wasn't looking at the dirt covered lot
my favourite girl was around
So I didn't see Johnny Kerpucket's shot
roll along the ground
Johnny Kerpucket has the neatest toys
and wears the coolest clothes
Winona says he's her favourite of boys
when I heard him snicker, I froze!
He laughed as his marble rolled into the hole
then he said, "I guess that's how it goes"
"You cheated!", I yelled, "you slippery mole"
and punched him right square in the nose
Into Principal Mavis' Study
Ms. Marshall dragged my left ear
She said, "Principal, Johnny Kerpucket is bloody"
"and that's why this vile lad's here"
"Principal Mavis, ", I started to stutter
"I was fighting for my llife!"
"and to top it all off", a worse lie did I mutter,
"I saw Johnny, he was kissing your wife!"
"Johnny Kerpucket is the smartest of lads"
said the principal without a smile
"Quite frankly, quite likely, he's the best student we've had,
You're going to be here a while"
And so, into detention by the big man, I'm tossed
but, if that alone wasn't enough
what stinks, what STINKS, about this whole stinkin day
is that,to Johnny, my marbles were lost

GE Korea has released a preview article for v7.0 - 그라나도 에스파다 - 7.0 업데이트 미리보. All preview information are tentative, and may be changed at a later date. Also, I want to complain. Hanbiton appeared to have reinstall regional IP blocks for their website. What a nuisance. Page loading via proxy is just so slow.
0. Start of Full-Scale Faction War
The release of Valeria (v5.0) drew the attention of Strata Vista. Sir Lyndon was mightily pissed off, and attempted to spread rumors about the Republicans. Princess Gabriella confronted Ayende Simon, and deepened the misunderstandings. Andre somehow got involved, and started doubting the existence of the secret organization.
Lyndon covered up the existence of Valeria and a plot to kill of the twin. Then, there were some confusion about Simon hanging out with Princess Gabriella, because Valeria looked exactly like her sister. Republicans used it to spread rumors to undermine the legitimacy of the royal family in the New World.
1. Royalist Secret Society
New royalist quest added for Lv.20+ families, accessible from Sir Lyndon in Reboldeaux. The quest involves investigating an epidemic, and acquiring a drug from Viron. This will be followed by a quest mission in Thueringen Lakeside to investigate the Republicans. Thereafter, Lyndon prepares for a major war and asks the family to join the organization.
2. Republican Secret Society
New republican quest added for Lv.20+ families, accessible from Simon in Auch. It also deals with the similar story about a plot to spread diseases, but from a different angle. Since a full-scale war is inevitable, Simon reveals the existence of the secret society.
3. Faction & Clan Levels
The faction symbols are as below - Shield of Peace (royalist) and Sword of Freedom (republican). Talk to the faction NPCs to promote clan levels. Once the leader joins the secret society (either one), it cannot be changed.
Clan levels can be increased beyond Lv.52. However, it does not increase the family level bonus. Clan levels will add a variety of benefits in the next update. Clans of opposing secret societies can fight each other without war declaration. Squad members of a neutral party will also be drawn into the fight. There are also some clan skills, for which you gain points by killing each other off.
4. Full-Scale Faction War
Faction war now takes to the city streets every other week. To start, talk to the faction leaders - Princess Gabriella, Ayende Simon, and Gerard.
The war lasts for 90 minutes. You gain more victory points if you subdue the faction leaders (i.e. Princess Gabriella or Ayende Simon). You can acquire items with the points as well. You can also occupy faction flags, carriages, and tents throughout the map.
5. New Medals
Added new medals for faction war and knighthood. Points are also given for treating injured allies and similar activities, not just for bashing other players' heads in.
6. Betrayal
After joining the secret societies, you can apparently "betray" them, since you can no longer easily return to neutral state. Talk to Simon or Princess Gabriella respectively. You can also undo betrayal with a quest for forgiveness.
7. Viron Clock Tower
New quest and mission added for Viron Clock Tower, so as to search for hidden truths of ancient civilizations. Missions are available after quest completion. The mission level range from Lv.120 to Lv.140.
8. Others
New skills added to Brunie, Lisa, Garcia, and Reboldeaux Soldier. New costumes added for Valeria and stock characters (previously seen in Japan's Imperial Wheel releases).
Added 9th barrack to family quarters. Added starting location to Lionel in Viron. The story of Viron continues with the doom of Cortes and the entry to the Devil's Castle.

Day 23 - Driving Split to Dubrovnik
... only 24 kilometres back. Once again, the little feeling of nervousness came upon me because unlike the Bosnian's these guys were really doing their job so the traffic banked up waiting to pass through the inspection post. Each car in our line, I.e., the one for non Europeans, seemed to take a heck of a long time to get the all clear. Anyway, after what seemed a reasonable time it was our turn to front up and hand over our passports. The guy seemed to take forever before ...
Another perfect day
... euros per person however we had found a ticket lying around on the rocks by where we were swimming and another on the way back to the apartment.
When we got there we tried them both, one of them worked and the other didn't. So we went down and I happened to have my student ID on me so we convinced them to give us a child ticket with the ID and ended up paying around 4 euros for the both of us to walk around the walls instead of ...
Day 56 - Dubrovnik, Croatia
So today is my last day in Croatia and my last before I start my journey homeward. It wasn't much of a day to write home about, but it was a good way, a reflective day. Nothing exciting happened, nothing new was seen, and I didn't try at all to create anything or see something I hadn't before. It was relaxed... yet filled with anxiety at times about my willingness and readiness to come home. I ate, I ...
Budvar - Dubrovnik
... pretty crazy heavy. We could almost fill the kettle with that was coming from the awning, as a giant puddle began to form in front of the van... How to back the van out this giant puddle became an issue rather quickly as the water was now ankle deep. Luckily our neighbours the kiwis were up and about and keen as we were to get out of the site, so offered us a hand if we needed. Wheels spun and we were going nowhere on the first attempt, so ...
Old town of Dubrovnik
... there was still a crowd building up.
We walked around the city centre and viewed some of the churches before heading up to walk around the city - a major must do on any visit.
The views from the wall are amazing, both looking outside and back into the town. It was getting quite hot, so 2km of up and down stairs along the wall was quite tiring (a pit stop a long the way welcome by all).

trying to get out the darkness
The sounds of gun fire distracted Hola from finding out what the object she had her hands on was. She ran towards the noise, comming from upstairs it seemed to her.
On her way she crashed into quite a lot of boxes, falling flat on her face. She got up and kept on running in the direction she hoped were the stairs.
Finally she triped over the first in the set of upward going stairs, luckally for her it wasn't going downwards, or she would have had a nasty fall.
Hola crawled up the stairs, not wanting to fall when she reached the top. Eventually she got there, but still there was no light, either she had gone blind, someone had turned the lights out or the basement was deeper than she thought.
Hola walked farwards still, triping on her own feet, and other things she could not make out in the neverending darkness. There was only one intention in her head: Find a way out the darkness.

Daily Forecast for Crosses: April 27
EURJPY Forecast
The EURJPY failed to continue its bearish momentum yesterday after unable to make a break below 118.40 support area. From another perspective as you can see on my h1 chart below price is moving in a range area of 120.38 – 118.40 and need a clear break on either side to see clearer direction. A clear break above 120.38 could trigger further bullish pressure testing 121.40 while a clear break below 118.40 could continue the current bearish phase testing 117.00 even 116.00.
GBPJPY Forecast
The GBPJPY was indecisive yesterday. The bias is neutral in nearest term but as long as price moves below 135.00 the intraday bearish bias remains more to the downside still targeting 133.75 support area in nearest term. On the upside, a clear break above 135.00 could trigger further upside pressure testing 135.90 area
AUDUSD Forecast
The AUDUSD continue its bullish momentum yesterday, clearly broken above 1.0770 and hit 1.0851 earlier today in Asian session. The bias remains bullish in nearest term targeting 1.0900 even 1.1000 new historical high projection. Immediate support at 1.0810 followed by 1.0780. A clear break below 1.0780 would lead us to neutral zone in nearest term but overall the technical bias remains strongly to the upside.

The True Seed of Abraham (3 of 4) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.The True Seed of Abraham (3 of 4)
Series: 3:16 and Jesus
Jeff Strite
Galatians 3:1-18
OPEN: In my files I have list of some unusual laws:
• In Birmingham, Alabama, it is illegal to drive a car while blindfolded.
• In Detroit it's unlawful to tie a crocodile to a fire hydrant.
• Natchez, Mississippi has a law that forbids giving an elephant beer to drink.
• And if you tie your elephant to a parking meter in Orlando, Florida, you have to feed the meter just as if the elephant were a car.
• Barbers in Waterloo, Nebraska, aren't permitted to eat onions between 7a.m. and 7p.m.
• In Hartford, Connecticut, transporting a cadaver by taxi is punishable by a $5 fine
APPLY: Those are fairly bizarre laws. But at one time, they probably made sense. I suspect someone had tried to drive a car blindfolded in Birmingham, and someone else had tied their crocodile to a fire hydrant in Detroit Michigan. And the courts realized it wasn't against the law to do stuff like that… so somebody had to write a law.
And to this day those archaic and out of date laws are on the books in those states
I. In the days of the early church, there was a problem.
For the first few years of the church's existence, the only Christians were Jews.
Jews were those who were physically descended from the tribe of Judah of the nation of Israel - and were people who zealously abided by the laws of Moses.
These Jewish Christians had been raised under the Old Testament law. All their lives they had attempted to obey the laws of Moses. They had kept the feast days. They bro't offerings to the temple. They had offered blood sacrifices at the altar.… But then Jesus came into their lives and all those laws suddenly became useless.
No longer were they expected to keep the feast days. No longer were they required to bring offerings to the temple or offer blood sacrifices at the altar.
Jesus had come to fulfill the law
Jesus died to replace the offerings and sacrifices that had once been r ...

Blood CrumbsMature
A serial killer pops up in a small town in Utah touted as being one of the 50 safest cities in the nation. Winding down his career, Detective George Burton must find this killer while the city's mayor breaths down his back. As his personal life falls apart, he begins to question whether it will be himself or this case that cracks first.
Dark clouds had swallowed the mid-October sun. They sat low and pregnant with what would be the first of many winter storms in the coming season. The usual duplicitous smiles coated the TV weathermen as they danced across a green screen predicting the snow would only fall in the mountains. The valleys, they claimed, would see only rain. Tim might have had trouble believing it.
However, he remained blissfully ignorant of this most recent meteorological predicament; and cared even less. He sat upon his stool-shaped throne behind the counter of the Cloud 9 Motel and flipped distractedly through an issue of Playboy. The owner kept an entire box of them in the back. Old issues from, as he put it, "an era where 'The Heff' was a god amongst men, rather than some reality show punchline."
Wind whipped through the old walls creating a hollow, weeping sound and caused the old motel's structure to creak and moan. The combination of these sounds and Tim's general disinterest nearly masked the clank of the ancient bell positioned over the door; signaling the arrival of a new customer. A large shadow moved across the room but Tim still did not look up. He was mid-way through a particularly gorgeous article and intended to finish. After all, people didn't come to Cloud 9 for the glowing customer service. Room rates were by the hour and it was best if expectations were kept low.
It wasn't anything his new customer said or did that caused Tim to look up suddenly. It was the slight drop in barometric pressure that caused his hairs to stand at attention on his arms. A familiar feeling that he dreaded.
There are dark men in this world whose very presence feels like death. They do not speak of their evils because there is no need to speak of them. Everyone around them just knows. In this line of work, Tim had only come into contact with a person like this twice and each time the memory had been seared into permanence. So when the air seemed to be sucked out of the room like a vacuum and every hair began to tingle with electricity, he recognized the feeling immediately.
Standing in front of Tim was a corpulent man with a pasty complexion. He stood back from the counter to give his enormous belly the proper clearance; laying his pudgy hands on the table and Tim saw they were almost comically oversized. It reminded him of when he was little and would blow up disposable gloves to put on his head. The man had swollen jowls and his hair was an oily combover with a dark brown hue. His eyes were sunken and reptilian, but there was nothing particularly evil about him. In fact, his eyes darted back in forth as if he were the nervous one. Something was definitely wrong here.
"What can I do for y-" Tim began, but a slight movement to the back and right of the fat man caused him to stop. Against the wall, where the ice machine sat was another figure.
The second man was bald and short. He seemed to be in his early thirties and muscular. His arms were folded in front of him and he was slowly shifting his weight from one foot to the other. His skin was pale and there were little moving specs where Tim could see exposed skin. On his forearms and neck and his face…
"Jesus Christ!"
Spiders! The man had spiders crawling all over his skin. Without knowing he was doing it, Tim found himself standing up. He took a step away from the counter before the fat man grabbed him fiercely by the arm.
"Calm down kid, they're just tattoos." He said simply, "Remember what your parents taught you about staring? It's rude."
Tim pulled his hand back quickly; resisting the urge to rub it in his shirt. The fat man's hands were clammy and moist and Tim wanted to run and scrub off the grime; possibly in a vat of acid. He was also having trouble listening to the fat man's advice. Upon closer inspection, he could see that the specs were, in fact, tattoos, but because the man was shifting back and forth the light danced across his skin giving the artistry the illusion of movement. Alarms were screaming inside Tim's head now. The most basic animalistic functions, his lizard brain was demanding control.
'Predator! Run! Hide!' It screamed.
"There is a nice little room at the back corner that we will need. Room 406 I believe was the number. We'll need it for the next two weeks, at least." The fat man drew Tim's gaze back and dropped a crinkled wad of cash on the table.
"Uh, Ok yeah." Tim responded, surprised he could speak. He grabbed the money and stuffed it into the register. The system was old and receipts were hand-written; it took a few tries to get it ready as his fingers were shaking . "You'll mum…need to sign…you know what? Never mind, it's all yours. Enjoy your stay."
The fat man nodded slightly then stared at Tim for a moment. His mouth turned up into a slight smile and his tongue slid gently out of his mouth, licking his lips.
"Is…is there something else I can get for you?" Tim asked.
"Well you certainly don't expect us to break into the room, now do you? Shouldn't you give us the key?" The fat man said with a small chuckle. There was no mirth in the sound of his laughter.
"Right. God. I'm sorry." Tim turned around and grabbed the key from the peg. He fumbled and dropped the keys onto the ground. When he stood back up he let out a yelp.
The bald man had moved up to the counter and was staring at him with something like intent indifference.
The fat man grabbed the key, nodded a thank you, and was gone.
The bald one remained, trapping Tim in the stare for what seemed like eternity. The corners of his lips curled ever so slightly in the hint of a smile. When Tim was younger, he had a read a book by Orson Scott Card called 'Eye for an Eye' where the main character would give people cancer just by willing it to be so. Tim was suddenly convinced that this is exactly what was happening. This thing in front of him was destroying him with a single glance. Tim's skin tingled and he knew, he just knew that his DNA was changing: dying.
The man flicked his hand up and a knife materialized out of thin air. He gently brought the point of the blade down onto the counter and a small scratching sound like nails on a chalkboard emitted from the counter's new wound. When the man had finished his artwork, he brought the blade up to his mouth using it sans his pointer finger for the sign of be quiet.
The he turned and walked away. Tim's eyes lowered to the counter where a rough etching of a spider now stood.
- - - - - - - - -
Will "the Drill" (or Willy the Whale as he was referred to in secret) stood outside the front door and carefully lit a cigarette. He waited a minute for his charge, Cero, to finish whatever it was he was doing inside the motel lobby.
Cero walked out moments later with what might've been a smile on his face. Willy would enjoy these moments when people shit their pants around Cero a little more if he weren't constantly in a similar state himself.
He hoped his bosses had no need of the spidered man during the job. He dreaded trying to kill him when it was over.

There is no sign of a limp in his step, no swelling in his eft ankle. The only reminder that remains is a scar from the incision following surgery.
If this had happened to Bill Tyndall during the fall instead of the spring, his collegiate football career at Cal would be over.
Instead, snapping his ankle during the Bears' spring game back in March has given the offensive tackle time to heal, putting him on pace to be back on the field for his senior year before the team's season opener.
"That's the plan,'' Tyndall said. "It's been a long recovery. At times, it's been frustrating. But it is just a little bump in the road. I'm confident I will be back in time.''
While the 285-pound senior has not been given full clearance to start running yet, he has been running in a controlled environment in a pool on the Cal campus.
Each week the former Pacific Grove High and Monterey Peninsula College lineman feels more strength and stability in the ankle.
"I'm probably five weeks away from being allowed to do full-contact drills,'' Tyndall said. "I have been doing a lot of cardio in the pool and on exercise machines.''
Tyndall, who started five games last year at right tackle, broke his ankle in the final week of spring practice during Cal's spring game.
"Oh, I knew right away,'' Tyndall said. "It was pretty obvious. It was just a freak thing. There was no way to prevent it. I got hit from behind the wrong way.''
Because of the timing of the injury, the 22-year-old Tyndall hasn't fallen behind. He's been in the weight room with his teammates, before retreating daily to the swimming pool to continue his rehabilitation.
"I was able to establish myself before the injury,'' Tyndall said. "I realize a lot of guys have an opportunity to step up. We have a lot of talent, but I have a good feeling about myself.''
At 6-feet-4, Tyndall is lean by lineman standards. While he's put on 25 pounds of muscle since arriving at Cal after one all-state season at MPC, the mental aspect is where he's turned a corner.
"In today's world, it's about fat loss and muscle gain,'' MPC football coach Mike Rasmussen said. "Bill is an athlete with a great frame. What he needed to do was become more physical."
Tyndall got his baptism by fire last fall when he made his first start for Cal against unbeaten Ohio State, holding his own against one of the nation's best defenses.
It left enough of an impression to earn four more starts over the course of the season. He came into this spring as the school's starting right tackle.
"The coaches know how long of a recovery this is,'' Tyndall said. "But they're confident that I will be back, as am I. I expect to be ready when camp starts.''
Beginning his final collegiate season with a new coaching staff and new offensive system wasn't ideal, until Tyndall got a look at the system head coach Sonny Dykes brought in.
"This is more my type of offense,'' Tyndall said. "It's built for speed. We have an extensive playbook. We have a lot of different movement involving the tackles.''
When Tyndall arrived at Cal after one year at MPC, he was a pulling guard. That explosiveness remains despite the extra 25 pounds of muscle.
"He's probably the highest recruited guy I've ever had here,'' Rasmussen said. "A lot of schools were looking at him after his first year. But Cal made him an offer. He flew under the radar in high school.''
While Tyndall had great respect for head coach Jeff Tedford, the change in coaches has changed the atmosphere after a pair of disappointing seasons in Strawberry Canyon.
"Coach Tedford was great,'' Tyndall said. "But this was a nice change up. This offense has got people excited. With a new coach, it allowed people to step up.''
Cal's up-tempo, no-huddle attack is meant to wear down teams and produce points — much like Oregon has done in the Pac-12 during the past few years.
Depending on the opponent, or Dykes' frame of mind, Tyndall believes Cal could throw the ball 80 percent of the time or split it down the middle.
"The offense is built to produce points,'' said Tyndall, who considers himself a better run blocker. "And it's an easy way to do it. Why didn't we do it in the past? Coaches do what they know. This guy knows this offense.''
As for a future after Cal, playing in the NFL has crossed his mind.
"It's a thought of mine,'' Tyndall said.
"I think guys that fit those measurements fit the NFL criteria,'' Rasmussen said. "Bill is going to be on someone's radar.''
The question is will Tyndall look to play beyond college.
"I'll see how this year goes and determine what I think about it,'' Tyndall said. "Right now I just want to get back on the field and be part of the change in culture."

Important RCG Links
Just in! New Grant Opportunity!
A very generous gift, just received by IBA's Bear Conservation Fund (BCF), enables IBA for the first time to offer a special 2-year R&C grant of $30,000 ($15,000 disbursed in 2017 and $15,000 in 2018) for either conservation-oriented research or science-based conservation work on any of 3 tropical bear species: sloth, sun, or Andean bears. Only one such grant will be awarded this year. We expect competition to be stiff for this grant, so the proposal chosen must be exemplary and must have very clear value for species conservation.
In awarding this special 2-year $30,000 grant, preference will be given to principle investigators who are based in range countries of tropical bears, though work may include collaborators outside those areas. Proposed projects must be feasible, with well-developed rationale and objectives, well-delineated methods, including field sampling, expected sample sizes, data analysis and modeling, a detailed budget, and expected conservation outcomes. Projects should include appropriate criteria for evaluating success, either at the end of the field period or in future years, whichever is more feasible.
Applications for this special grant are to be submitted to Dr. Paolo Ciucci, R&C Grants Committee chair, on or before Dec 1, as for regular R&C grants. Applications must indicate that they are for IBA's special 2-year Tropical Bears R&C Grant. Unsuccessful applications can be considered for regular R&C grants, provided they include an alternative scaled-down project plan and budget that meet the criteria for the regular grants. Regular R&C grants provide up to $10,000 in a given year, with the option to apply for additional funding for up to 2 more years, but total funding received cannot exceed $15,000 over 3 years.
For more information, please contact Dr. Paolo Ciucci, Chair, IBA Research and Conservation Grants Program.
Who is Eligible?
IBA wants to support well-designed projects, either research or conservation-oriented. Research should ultimately support conservation efforts; conservation projects should be strongly based on good science and also well-linked to local and regional communities. Anyone may apply, including undergraduate, graduate, or post-doctoral students; researchers; educational institutions; conservation organizations; and government agencies. Applicants must become IBA members before they begin the application process.
To learn more about our application requirements and process, click here>>>
How Are These Grants Used?
IBA Research and Conservation Grants (RCG) are awarded to help support bear conservation, education projects, and research. Emphasis is given to projects that demonstrate significant positive effects for bear species, populations, and areas of the world with the highest conservation needs. Funds for these grants have been made available by The John Sheldon Bevins Memorial Foundation and other generous donors. Information on other IBA Grants Programs can be found here>>>
Past IBA grantees have made significant contributions to science-based information on bears and have made very real steps in developing local interest in bear conservation across the ranges of most species. Between 1993 - 2016, the IBA was able to offer 168 grants for projects studying eight bear species in 12 different subregions.

Indy - Village number: 253220
Indy was given to the SPCA after her previous owners moved from a country property to a small central home where there was not enough room for her to play.
This bull terrier will be 6 next month and is hoping to find and settle into a loving family again. Indy loves company, whether it's with humans, cats or other dogs. She also needs a lot of physical and mental stimulation.
If you are interested in adopting Indy or any other animal call the Auckland SPCA on (09) 256 7300 or visit spca.org.nz.
Bob Kerridge's tip: An animal will be your friend for life, all it asks for is your love.

I have told you in previous posts about David Thompson, Bianca Molle, Howard Shifke and John Coleman, all of whom have completely recovered from Parkinson's Disease. I have also written about John Pepper, the South African who has used a conscious walking program to completely neutralize his symptoms. Thanks to blog reader, Jimmy, I would like to share with you another success story, Colin Potter, who has used a combination of a ketogenic [high fat] diet, supplementation, detoxification and exercise to get off medication and completely neutralize the symptoms he was experiencing. He claims that he hasn't fully recovered, but he no longer experiences any symptoms. His interview is well worth watching.

Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #25 … Dissolving Fear – Yahoo, Ride 'em Cowboy!
Yippeeyiyokiyea motherbleeper!
— Bruce Willis, Diehard
I'm riding a bucking bronco! Bobbing on a stormy sea! Being tossed about on the Salt & Pepper Shaker ride at the fair! For the last three months I have been on a heck of a ride on my journey to recovery! Triggered by medical marijuana, I have been processing and purging fear and other long buried emotional stuff that has left me feeling panicky, anxious, frustrated and experiencing very intense symptoms! It has been a challenge!
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #24 … Work hard, believe and persevere – Lessons from Bruce Springsteen!
Highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
– Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run
I'm presently reading Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born to Run. It is an interesting read, filled with fascinating stories and lots of adjectives… many knee slapping, foot stomping, head scratching, eye popping, mind blowing, gut wrenching descriptions of Bruce's personal and professional life. He tells it all and bares his soul… the good, the bad and the ugly… including his lifelong challenge with depression and his difficult relationship with his father [who interestingly enough, experienced parkinson's.]
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #23 … Refined Walking Technique!
A few years ago I discovered that I could overcome shuffle-walking by counting my steps. I had to count continuously, but as long as I did, my walking improved. I also figured out that when I found myself shuffle-walking, if I stopped, reset my stride, relaxed my hands and told myself to take a big step, I could walk normally; even if only for a few strides. I still do this!
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #22 … Deeper Healing – Cultivating Self-Love!
A few weeks ago I started waking up in the middle of the night feeling a bit panicky. It was due to some tightness in my throat [causing me to want to swallow repeatedly] and my tongue sticking to the top of my mouth. It was making think I might suffocate. I knew it was nothing serious [I wasn't going to suffocate], but still, it was really starting to play on my mind… freak me out! I think it was triggered by the medical marijuana I was taking, because I was also feeling a lot of emotional upheaval during the day. I was getting to the point where I was scared to go to bed. I was doing everything I could to make the feeling go away, but it wasn't working!
The Story Behind My Books
People have asked me what prompted me to write The History Teacher books. It's actually an interesting story [I think], so here goes!
In the winter of 2006, I was still working in the corporate world. I hadn't yet made the transition to teaching martial arts full-time. One morning I woke up with an idea for a book in my head! I had no idea when the idea came from. I wasn't thinking about writing a book. Divine guidance? More than likely!
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #21 … Get out of fight-or-flight!
I have long held that view that I'm not suffering from parkinson's disease. Rather, I am experiencing a health condition characterized by certain symptoms. What is more, I don't believe that I have to cure the condition. Instead, in order to recover my health I need to return my body to homeostasis.
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #20 … How to eliminate constipation!
Perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of my neurological experience has been constipation. Three years ago, it wasn't an issue, but then it suddenly crept up on me. Until I got it under control, I had some difficult days… or should I say, difficult movements!
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #19 … Surrender to the Experience!
Thanks to a recent conversation with a friend, I had an epiphany about my experience with this neurological condition. I realized that I have been spending far too much time thinking about the symptoms I experience; wanting not to experience them.
Healing Parkinson's Disease Naturally – Recovery Inspiration #18 … Dissolving Anxiety!
For many people experiencing the neurological condition known as Parkinson's disease, anxiety is one of the more common and challenging symptoms.
Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. It is an expression of fear, created by a thought. Given the challenges of the symptoms and given what the future holds for those who consider their condition to be incurable, it is no doubt that anxiety is so common.

Eleven: Midnight
My phone pathetically wailed, lurching me from my daze. Andrea? Blinking the sleep out of my eyes, I fumbled for it and proceeded to flip it open. It gave another quick sob, dying letters telling me that it was only out of battery. No texts, no messages, no Andrea.
I fell back on the couch, yawning sleepily despite my inherent worry. Where was she? Why was she acting so odd all of a sudden? What was with the appearance of the Lucas guy, the figure who seemed to bring on this mess? If he was hurting her in any way, if he had anything to do with this unusal behavior, I would smash his face in.
Wow. That sounded violent.
My poor phone cried out again. "Shut up," I grumbled irritably, roughly turning it off and tossing it aside before laying back on the sofa pillows. Impatient, I glanced at the clock's electric ruby letters again. Maybe I should go looking for her ... where would I start...?
I ran my hands over my face. No. She was a big girl. She could manage herself.
She doesn't want my help.
I took up the TV remote and flicked on the news, drifting into an uneasy sleep to its bright neon light and muffled murmur.
I was awakened by the door that morning, gently closing. Blinking open my eyes, I heard the soft feet of Andrea tip-toeing over the carpet. I sat up, my voice still groggy, my eyes adjusting to the dawn's fresh light.

SMP Console does not load from remote clients but works when loading it from a server browser (localhost address)
'Error 401 Unauthorized' error on the browser when attempting to load the Symantec Management Console from a remote client.
Constant Prompting for credentials despite inputting the correct ones.
This can be attributed to a few issues:
- Incorrect login credentials on IIS disallowing remote users
- Obsolete DNS host settings from the client PC.
- Change of NS server ID (Domain Name) after a rebuilt.
Possible Solutions:
- Verify IIS credentials such as the anonymous user account.
- Make sure that the client PC is able to ping the server by domain name. You can also try to access the console by IP address (eg http://0.0.0.0/Altiris/Console/)
- Make sure that the Domain Name of the Server has not been previously altered.

Overcrowding Europe (Industrialization) • 2. Natural Disasters • 3. Economic opportunity $$$$ • 4. Political unrest in homeland (Political Refugee)/Wars • 5. Religious Persecution • Romance & Adventure Why U.S.? • Cheap land (Oklahoma Giveaway) • Myths/legends of U.S. • Fast Growth in Cities • Religious Tolerance • Rules for harmony. • Economic Opportunity • Last Hope Many Immigrants brought the entire family, some would send just 1 or 2 family members in hope they would "make it" and then send for the rest. Many times they spent their entire life's savings to get to America. Most came steerage class (3rd class); cheap, uncomfortable, unsanitary, and crowded; disease and even death was not uncommon. Ellis Island, New York City (1892-1954) 12 million immigrants would come through here. 70% of all European immigrants passed through Ellis Island. 2% were rejected. Travel to America • In 1905 an extra $20 would buy you the status of cabin class. That would exempt you from being processed in America. • 3rd class passengers quickly learned that money caused you to be treated differently in America. • "Isn't it strange that we are coming to a country where there is equality, but not quite so for the poor newly arriving immigrant." Quote from 3rd class passenger Inspection Center • The inspection was often the most anxious part of the whole trip as this is where you found out if you were accepted or rejected Inspection Station Ellis Island • Long Lines –2 minutes per inspection, marked with chalk and seperated by the ailment they were suspected to have. • 32 questions • Lines divided into languages the immigrants spoke. • Names were often changed as the spelling was a struggle Old Immigrants - Northern European – Prior to 1880 • English/German/Irish • W.A.S.P = White AngloSaxon Protestant • Owner's/Bosses • Superior attitude • "Know Nothing party" designed to discriminate against Roman Catholic immigrants. • Believed they were a superior race.

Discrimination • " The immigrants are an invasion of venomous reptiles… long haired, wild eyed, bad smelling , reckless foreign wretches, who never did a day's work in their lives" Discrimination • Literacy Tests • Low wages, unsafe conditions, paid for mistakes or behavior. • No Overtime, worked Sundays. • Uneducated and had no way out. • No civil rights. Immigration and Politics • Creation of political machines. • Ward Bosses • Supplied money, jobs, advice and favors = votes. • City councils dominated by Bosses Cities/Slums • First low income housing • Inadequate sanitation and ventilation • Overcrowded, crime filled, and disease infested • By 1900 4 out of 5 residents of New York City were immigrants or children of immigrants. • "1,231 people in a 120 room apartment". • New York City had twice as many Irish as Dublin, More Italians than Cities • Established ethnic neighborhoods: "little Italy, Chinatown" • New York City built of Immigrants. Still today a city of diversity. People felt more comfortable with people of similar values and customs. This also made it easier for stereotypes to exist. "5 cents a spot" Immigrant tenement housing Immigrant Working Conditions • Took jobs nobody else wanted and for a fraction of the pay; textiles mills, steel mills, stockyards, and coal mines. • Average pay 10 cents per hour 55 hours a week. • Between 1880 – 1900 35,000 people were killed on the job.

Alternative Name(s): bill poster
This is a copy of a poster used between the 1920s-1950s to advertise a performance in Athens of the centuries-old Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre (Karaghiozis) tradition. Dimitri Katsoulis brought posters from Greece in the early 1990s; the originals are held in a museum collection in Greece. Dimitri Katsoulis migrated to Australia in 1974 to escape a regime that repressed Greek artists. He had trained in Greece with theatre and film companies as an actor and technician. Unable to obtain funding and support, he returned to Greece in 1991, leaving his entire collection to the people of Victoria. It includes 32 shadow puppets and around 170 props, set backdrops and technical tools and stage equipment. Dimitri has since returned to Melbourne and assists the Museum to continue to document this rich art form within both local and international contexts.
The Greek Shadow puppeteers had this type of advertising poster as part of their puppeteering kit when they were doing tours in various parts of Greece. It is a work of the puppeteer and artist S. Kouzarou. It is snapshot of Uncle Yiorgos chatting with Karaghiozis.
Information supplied by Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre master Dimitri Katsoulis, 2007.
Physical Description
Small poster in portrait format, featuring two animated Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre characters in brown colour tones: Karaghiozis and Uncle Yiorgos. They are in conversation. The poster has a blue border and across the top and at the bottom right hand corner there is text in Greek [see inscrioptions for translation].
This collection of puppets, props, stage sets, and technical tools and equipment relating to traditional Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre is unique in Australia and rare in international public collections. The history of Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre, its puppet characters and the methodology of its performance has been recorded in partnership with the puppet master to whom the collection belonged. The collection is highly significant both as documentation of an important cross-cultural, centuries-old art form, and as an example of the transnational migration of cultural activity between Greece and Australia. It is a collection which was created and performed in Greece and Australia from the mid to late twentieth century, by two puppet masters, who transported the tradition between two countries. Abraam Antonakos came to Australia in 1977 to perform the puppet theatre and then deposited the puppets with Dimitri Katsoulis, who had migrated to Australia in 1974. Dimitri's story becomes one of migration experience, cultural maintenance and adaptation, and finally return migration and the discontinuance of this cultural art form in Australia.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi SnailRunner. I expect you have sorted this by now, but I've been experiencing a similar pain on my inner ankle. I'm a light runner, but do over-pronate extensively and have pancake feet. I sprained my ankle back in December, but it was fine for about a month before pain started. I wear othotics and motion control shoes. Just wondered what you did to sort yours?
I am relatively new to running and done a 5k event over the last couple of years.
This year i decided to up it and entered for a half marathon
Run three times a week and got up to 20k distance but two weeks later got injured very similar to how you describe yours.
Five weeks rest and still not gone away !
Did you sort your injury out and have you any advice ?
Kind Regards
Alan Beckwith
Hi Alan
sorry to hear you are injured. Fortunately mine has vanished. A friend of mine who is a sports therapist (and a very good runner) suggested that I ditch my Kayano 15s for neutral shoes. Almost instantly the pain went. It seems that the hard grey bit which helps over pronation caused too much shock to the muscles. Maybe try changing your shoes? Did you sprain your ankle or did the pain just materialise?

Softwire's Key Responsibilities
12 March 2014, by Chris Harris
I've spoken before about Softwire's "key responsibilities". These are the five main things that Softwire asks of its employees, and they haven't changed since they were first put to paper many years ago. Except that recently a Softwire employee took it upon himself to change the order!
I thought it was about time I recapped what these responsibilities are, and went into each one in more depth. So over the next couple of months I'll put up five posts looking at each responsibility in depth. Here, to begin with, is the list in full:
Be happy
- Think of ways to increase your motivation or make your job more enjoyable – and discuss them with your manager.
- If you are unsatisfied with any aspect of your job, talk to your manager or anyone in your management line that you feel comfortable with.
- If after doing so you're still not happy, you are encouraged to chat (informally!) to a director.
Widen your involvement
- Don't restrict your vision to the scope of your immediate remit.
- Seek ways of taking on more responsibility and becoming more valuable to the company – it's encouraged!
- We'd like you to engage enthusiastically and proactively with our goal of making Softwire better, and welcome your ideas and extra-curricular efforts.
Be fully responsible for all your tasks and actions
- That includes all tasks, big or small, and ones which you've part-delegated to others.
- You should aim to do *everything* reasonably within your power to deliver them on time.
- Tell someone well in advance if you can't do so.
Take active responsibility for your own personal development
- Read around your subject and learn about e.g. good code, software design, etc.
- Don't leave it to others to devise your career goals and development plan – consider your aspirations and express them clearly.
- Tell your manager or a director if you're not happy with your rate of personal development
Treat your time like gold dust
- Manage your time carefully, maximise productivity, minimise overheads and aim to achieve five productive days per week.
- Work to specific and quantified goals / deadlines / estimates, or agree some with your manager if you don't have them.
- Develop a foolproof system for tracking your tasks and actions and review and reprioritise once every day or so.
