It was rather a surprise for myself when I made a pact with Briony. But I'd decided that if we were going to do this misson well, I would have to get along with my partner. That was why we'd made our deal. I caught the expression of curiousity on her face but my attention diverted back towards the waitress who grinned at me.
"Here's your bill," her voice trilled as she gave me the thin paper. Her hand lingered on my arm as she waited for me to get out my wallet and pay. And that, I didn't. Instead, I gaver her one of my charming grins and said, "I'll pay you at the counter honey." She smiled back, giving me a little pinch with an added, "I'll be waiting."
I turned back to Briony who gave me an eye-roll then resumed going through the files. But when I cleared my throat, she met my eyes with a slightly annoyed glare.
"Pay up partner."
Eyes narrowed she asked, "What do you mean?"
"50 pounds up!" I said a little enthusiastically, too much for Briony to handle.
"Are you telling me that you're completely broke?"
I nodded and got a very nasty reply spat at me. "Cheap bastard," she muttered as she looked through her bag, fumbling. I gasped a little dramatically and said, "Didn't we just agree a few minutes ago to be friends? Look who broke her side of the deal off."
"I'm not breaking anything. Besides, you're acting like a complete asshole now so i have the right. If you'd told me you were broke before we came here, I probably would have led you to a cheaper restaurant than this one but no you just won't."
Alright. She had a point. I was being an asshole. So for this one time, I'll let her go on this. The next time she insults me, I'll make sure I get her back in more ways than her paying. Possibly through my teasing nature which she's always hated. Ha, that would work.
We both stood up, getting ready to leave. "Okay then, I'll go pay off at the counter. You organise all the papers back into the folder," she said in a very authorised voice. Just as Briony took a step forward I came in front of her, making her knock into me lightly.
"For crying out loud, what now?!"
"I would really appreciate it if you gave me the money. That way, I could-"
"Make a good impression in front of Rosie?" She asked, a knowing look on her face.
With a smug grin, I ran my hands through my dark hair waiting for her response. She handed me the money a little grudgingly and turned her back to me and towards the table.
"Thanks Briony." I whispered, giving her arm a light squeeze and then walking towards the counter where Rosie waited expectantly. She grinned at me, leaning forward with her face cupped in her hands. "So, when will you be coming again?"
Handing her the money, I said, "I've got a lot of work honey but if you give me a call, we could always arrange things."
She smiled but then frowned, glancing at Briony who was waiting for me near the doors of the restaurant, gazing at me and Rosie a little intensely.
"Who's she?"
"Oh...she's like my sister." Very uncreative but the line that usually works with jealous chicks, even if its a complete lie.
Smiling, Rosie seemed okay with hearing that news just like I'd predicted and wrote me her number on a napkin. "Call me," she said and then gave me a light kiss on the cheek, similar to ones I'd recieved before. With a final wink at Rosie, I walked back towards the exit of the restaurant. I couldn't quite classify the expression on Briony's face - it looked like a mix of disgust, shock and...anger? Really hard combination. Had she heard?
"What's wrong?" I asked. Briony glared at me and muttered a stony, "Nothing," and then turned away and walked towards the car not even glancing back at me. Huh. I wonder what her problem is.

From the thermostatic control perspective
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This supply has an abundant array of of outlets, but I purchased it primarily for fan power and thermostatic control. It is certainly well built. It doesn't offer manual thermostatic control, or at least not as far as I can tell. There is no exterior control for temperature threshold. I'm not sure if there is an interior trim pot (which would be somewhat a hassle). It specifies the thermostat turns on at 85* and off at 70* which I can safely say is not an accurate claim, unless my unit, or the probe, is defective. With my Sanus 2115 cabinet, the overall interior ambient temperature will get well over 85* (cabinet completely closed with the probe centrally located). A lot depends on the magnetic probe placement, which in reality is the only way to find the "sweet spot" for acceptable ambient temperature control. A bit fiddly, but acceptable work around.
Pros: Plenty of outlets in various plug configurations. Well built.
Cons: No way to manually adjust temperature to activate fan units. Need to work with temp probe to achieve this, which changes depending on what equipment is running. Some equipment runs hotter than others.

Is it possible to create a ticket that acts like a PM for a piece of equipment? For example I have something (hardware, software, etc) that needs attention on a monthly or weekly basis and I want it to automatically pop up and be assigned when it's due.

End That CrapMature
Jeff's Point of View
"Bro, where you've been?! Cut third period again?" I'm sitting alone on one of the cafeteria tables near the windows with two trays in front of me, both with a plate of salad and a bowl of soup. It was snowing now, so it's really cold. I heard a voice from behind me, I looked back and saw John, who was holding a Subway sub on his right hand and a Diet Coke on the left.
"Nah, History dude let us out early. How 'bout you?"
"Cut third period," he said with a huge smile on his face, '"Oh.... bro, you didn't have to buy me lunch! But... next time though, it wouldn't hurt to be a nice meal of mac and cheese or something, okay? I'm not a goat."
"In your face man! THAT is not yours. It's Caroline's."
He looked disappointed. "Oh man, not again! Seriously!"
"Dude, what is your problem with Caroline?!" I said with a stern voice.
"YOU KNOW what, okay?! And I bet you feel the same way. I don't know why you wouldn't just end this shit, or whatever it is you guys have."
"HEY! Dude, I didn't tell you what to do when you had that crappy relationship with your girlfriend!"
He was quiet for a moment. "You're right man," he said looking apologetic but then his face went serious again, "that's because I wasn't so blind to see how horrible things were going and wasn't too chicken to end it!" He took another bite of his sandwich in a very angry manner, drank his Coke until he finished it, and slammed it on top of the table.
I was about to answer back, but then I saw Aries walking towards us.
"So sweet man! Saved a table at a nice spot for us!" Aries said as he sat down beside John and took a bite of his sub and moved towards the bowl of soup. I slapped his hand.
"THAT is not yours! Don't touch it!"
"Uh-oh, he's being defensive," Aries looked around giving off his scared look, "she's coming isn't she?!"
Both of them laughed, but I didn't.
"I was just talking to our pal here what we've been proposing for him to do these past few months! But, still a NO," John said.
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, just give me a break." This topic came up everyday, and honestly, I am so sick and tired of hearing it. Though I know they were just being honest, but man, give me a break. I know they're mad at me for skipping basketball practice and Friday hang outs with them, but I kind of felt sorry for Caroline since I didn't spend much time with her during the summer, especially when we moved to the apartment. But since we have school now, our parents let Leena and I to just stay at home and not come with them to meet other people. It's been a while since Leena and I hung out together, talking and asking out-of-the-world questions about ourselves. Now, we just waved and said 'Hi' whenever we saw each other outside of our house, heading to our different schools. Our school was at the main city, while theirs were closer to the neighborhood. I miss talking to her, actually.
"Fine," Aries said while taking another bite of the sandwich and talking with his mouth full, "we'll cut you some slack now, since she's here already." He motioned towards the cafeteria door which was now covered with freshmen and sophomore students. Then, I saw Caroline walking towards us wearing a tight-fitted skirt and a Lacoste polo. "But, come on man. Honestly, we're just waiting for the day you'd decide to end that crap."
"End what crap?!" Caroline said looking fierce and grumpy standing behind the boys. They all stood up immediately when they saw her.
"...... end eating THAT crap," Aries motioned towards the salad in front of Caroline.
"Well, this crap is better than eating the crap you boys are eating," Caroline said while pointing at the Subway sub. "Anyhow, I know what you guys are talking about. Jeff came clean, explained everything," Caroline stood up and sat beside me and held my arm, "I know what happened to him during his awful summer, and maybe I could live with that somehow, and I know his dad's friend that's been helping them, blah-blah, and his new little friend." Wait a minute, what? She can live with it? And my new little friend?
I was about to say something back at her, but I really was not in the mood to fight, especially since the guys are here, so I just stayed quiet while my oh-so-amazing girlfriend summarized my whole summer experience to my friends even though she was the only one who wasn't with us the whole summer.
The guys were quiet until John answered back, "I don't know 'bout you, but we had an amazing time during the summer. Come on guys, let's sit over there," he pointed towards the empty table about 4 tables behind us, "Bro, talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay," I said and nodded. I wasn't mad at him, and he knew that of course. This wasn't the first time he gave me his honest opinion. I faced Caroline who was just staring at me.
"Let's eat," I said while taking a bite of the greens. I'm not really a fan of eating salads, but, that's what she wanted so I just ordered the same.
"My soup is cold... can we swap?" Caroline said while playing with the mushroom soup.
I didn't know what the science between this was, since I just ordered our meals at the same time, so mine was cold too. But whatever, I gave her mine.
"Here you go." I slide my bowl towards her and grabbed her's.
John's Point of View
We moved 4 tables back, just to stay away from her. I took a seat and Aries sat on the opposite side, like we were having a man-to-man date. Ha!
"Can you believe that rich chick?! Do you heard what she just said?! That she could 'live with it SOMEHOW'?", I said while taking my Subway sub from Aries' hands. But when I grabbed it, I realized it was only the wrapper left. "...WHAT THE?! DUDE! Buy your own food!"
"Naaah, come on man. The line's too long now, see?" He pointed towards the cashier. It was long. But it didn't mean he could finish my sandwich. "Besides, real friends finish your food! ... So back to what we're talking about; Did she just say AWFUL SUMMER?"
"Probably thought it was awful because Jeff wasn't with his girl every hour of every day. Besides, Jeff told me that he wouldn't tell Caroline why they really moved. He just improvised."
"Why wouldn't he just tell her?", Aries said looking clueless as ever.
"DUH, you know Caroline?! I've told you about her family and herself, right? Typical rich family clans stuff."
"Ooooh, I see," Aries kept quiet for a minute. He looked like he was struggling keeping up with these information, "What did Jeff see in her before?"
"Well, she is in fact... pretty and hot. But... you know, she's...," I struggled as I searched for the right word.
"Irritating? Spoiled? High-maintenance? Girly?" Aries suggested.
"Yeah, whatever. I just can't wait when he'll finally speak up and break up with her."
"You are really rooting for him and Leena, huh? Why though?"
"Come on man, are you that blind?!", Aries gave a completely confused look. Looks like he is NOT good at this at all. "You've seen them when they talk to each other! Clearly they like each other! Just too chicken to say it."
"Ooooh. Yeah, yeah."
"Plus..., DON'T TELL THIS TO ANYONE NOT EVEN JEFF, but I heard my sister talking to her when she came over to our house one time." Aries' eyes widened and moved closer to me so he could clearly understand what I was going to whisper. "Leena likes him too, and Thea is just like us you know, forcing them. But I think they don't know anything about Caroline. Weird though, one time my sister talked to me while I was laughing while texting, asking if I was seeing some other girl now. I said No, but she kept insisting that I had one, then asked if you had a girlfriend too. After, she asked Jeff if he had a girlfriend too..."
"Ughh, what is it with girls and gossip! What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. I just threw her a pillow so she'd quit asking me questions. Besides, I didn't know what to answer. Somehow I didn't them to know that he has a girlfriend. I'm awesome though, Jeff's been with her for almost 2 years, and Thea didn't even suspect a thing. Loser. I thought girls were good at spying boys." We both laughed. "OH! And my sister likes Zander, in case you still didn't know. Damn."
Aries' eyes widened again. "DUDE! Seriously?! Does Zander know?"
"Of course not! Besides I wouldn't tell him that. I hate my sister bugging and annoying me. But I'm not that bad, I wouldn't say that. And it would be awkward every time Zander's at our house."
"Ahhh, the protective type. I get it," Aries smiled at me. A very annoying smile actually. "It's been a while since we hung out with the girls, huh?"
"Yeah. Stupid school. Summer was great!"
"I bet their busy perfecting their exams and keeping their straight A's, huh? Smart chicks."
"Oh god, do not call my sister a chick. BLEH. But yeah, projects and stuff, that's why Leena was over at our house about last week, that's when I heard them talking. Thea probably didn't notice that I was home early."
"Yeahhh....," Aries said which sounded like he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. "You know what man? With the conversation we're having right now, I feel like we're girls already talking about crappy love and their emotional relationships. We should stop now, it'll lower our rating here," he said sarcastically, but yes I think we've said too much now.
"Yeah I guess. It was fun though," we both stared at each other, then laughed our pants off up to the point were people around looked at us. "Kinda tiring talking about this stuff. Is this what girls talk about all the time, bro?"
"I don't wanna know man. Let's just go," Aries stood up immediately.
We stood up, bought another sandwich, and walked towards the exit since the cafeteria was starting to get a little too crowded. I looked back before exiting and saw that Jeff and Caroline was still sitting there. Caroline was blabbing and laughing about something, and Jeff was just smiling at her.

Capitals prospects wrapped up rookie camp Monday with a 1-0 loss to the Flyers' rookies at KCI. While it wasn't the fight-free contest Coach Adam Oates would have liked, with four bouts, the contest wasn't a complete rodeo, either.
Here are five thoughts from the final installment of rookie camp:
1. Tom Wilson's grit: The 2012 first-round pick had an eventful afternoon with two fights, a chipped tooth and a crushing shoulder check that gave Flyers defenseman Mark Ant a concussion. Even against the basketball team of prospects — 11 of the Flyers players were listed at 6-3 or taller — from Philadelphia, Wilson's size and won't-back-down attitude were on full display.
What does it really show for him to repeatedly drop the gloves in a rookie game, though? Wilson is the lone prospect camp attendee with a shot of making the NHL roster and his brawn has stood out against those his own age for some time now whether in development camp or the OHL. While the Capitals encourage his sandpaper style, the pugilistic arts aren't what they will ask him to provide whenever he is ready to turn pro. It won't be what determines whether he's ready to make the jump this fall, either.
2. Andre Burakovsky's size: The puck handling and on-ice smarts Capitals management praised were there, but so was the reason why Burakovsky won't be ready for the NHL for a year or two. He was shoved off the puck multiple times and was manhandled by the Flyers on a few occasions as well, including one trip into the offensive zone that saw his journey stopped mid-stride and when he was separated from the puck with a shoulder check.
Over the next few seasons, filling out his frame will be as important for Burakovsky (listed at 6-1, 178 pounds) as learning the North American game. It will be interesting to see how he evolves as he adds more size.
3. The development of Connor Carrick: The defenseman has impressed both the Washington and Hershey coaching staffs, with Oates saying earlier this week that "he's become more than just a junior player to me." He held his own Monday against significantly larger opponents, but did miss one of the better open scoring chances of the afternoon. The question for Carrick becomes this: Where will he play this year?
He's eligible to play in the AHL, and that might be a legitimate possibility at this point. "We're still talking about that," Oates said Monday. "He's obviously had a great summer. It's one of the subjects we're talking about."
4. Chandler Stephenson's skating: The lesser-known member of the rookie squad's top line made a strong impression of his own with his skating and playmaking ability. The 2012 third-round pick was noticeable nearly every time he was on the ice, setting up his teammates and helping to keep offensive possessions alive. In a setting where all eyes are on the organization's top-tier prospects, Stephenson managed to draw plenty of attention to himself.
5. Training camp: Now that rookie camp has concluded, the official start of training camp (first on ice practices are Thursday) can't get here soon enough. Once camp starts, though, it will be a whirlwind as the Capitals play three preseason games in the first seven days of camp. The full schedule and rosters are expected to be released later today.

text: SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: SWHC), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced that it has successfully completed a new $75 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") that is expandable under an accordion feature that allows, in certain circumstances, for the company to increase the size of the Credit Facility in $25 million increments up to a maximum loan of $175 million. The new Credit Facility replaces the company's existing secured $55 million credit facility that was set to expire in December 2014. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Jeffrey D. Buchanan, Smith & Wesson Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "The fact that the new Credit Facility is expandable and unsecured reflects a vote of confidence in the direction and strategies of our company by TD Bank and the other banking participants. This is the first time in the company's history that we have achieved credit agreement terms comparable to what investment grade companies receive in the current market. This represents another step in our commitment to developing flexibility within our capital structure." Compared with the prior credit facility, the new Credit Facility provides increased borrowing capacity and more favorable terms and conditions, including a maturity date approximately two years beyond the expiration of the prior credit facility, improved financial covenants, and a reduction of approximately 75 basis points on average across the pricing grid. Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the company's option, at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin, or the prime lending rate, plus an applicable margin, subject to adjustment based upon the company's consolidated leverage ratio. Based on current rates, should the company borrow against the credit facility, the interest rate would be approximately 1.70% for LIBOR rate loans and 3.75% for prime rate loans.

the competition at a great price. First off, the PT-22
comes fully assembled, no need to spend hours building
hoping to have the alignment correct. A water bath is also
part of the package, not an upgrade. Another nice feature
of the PT-22 is that is comes with the material cross
supports pre cut.
Operation of the table itself only requires 110 volt power
so it will work at almost any fabrication site throughout
North America. The PT-22 also comes standard with two
different types of torch holder, one for an automated style
system and one that is configurable to any hand held torch
on the market. The PT-22 comes standard with an easy to use
design software package that allows the user to design or
plot out a job on any computer and load the plasma table via
USB stick. The plasma cutting table comes standard with a
hand held pendant with jog controls for the X and Y axis as
well as program start and stop controls.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Nors, Oct 29, 2007.
and 1 game out from division lead......
They play in a terrible division, as the Panthers and Bucs are not even close to being contenders, and I dont think either will make the playoffs. I think the Saints win their division, but they have no running game so I dont think they'll do anything. If they had Duce it may be a different story.
3-4 now
One game out of first place in division.
It was great watching them roll all over the 9ers!
Losing Duce will hurt this team. I hope they miss playoffs. I want nothing to do with Payton and The Shanle again.

The U.S. Government Can Now Legally Take Your Baby's Blood!
Friday, December 19, 2008 Posted by Shattered Paradigm
Last April, President Bush signed a law which actually allows the federal government to screen the DNA of all babies born in the United States.
So now the federal government has the right to take the DNA of your baby and you cannot say anything about it.
The bill was falsely called "The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007" and it legalizes a practice that the federal government has been carrying on for years now.
Have you ever been there when a baby is being born?
If so, have you ever asked why a nurse grabs the newborn and takes blood from him or her?
First of all, in what bizarre universe is it healthy for a newborn child to have blood drained from it?
Secondly, how can the federal government possibly justify the forced taking of our DNA under the United States constitution?
The new bill contains language allowing the federal government to "maintain a central clearinghouse of current information on newborn screening".
So all the DNA is going to be stored in a DNA database somewhere.
Isn't that just great?
Ron Paul had the following to say about this bill on the floor of the House of Representatives: "Madame Speaker, the federal government lacks both the constitutional authority and the competence to develop a newborn screening program....."
So how will this central DNA database be used?
Will it be used to track and trace everything that we do?
Could we be cloned without our consent as the government is now allowed to do in the U.K.?
Could such a database be used to screen out "undesirables" or for other "eugenics" programs?
This is not right.
This is not American.
How far will this invasion of our privacy go before the American people get tired of it?

Alternative dispute resolution - .PDF file.
Disputes in England are usually adjudicated after an adversarial process, either by a judge or by an arbitrator. Litigation is governed by wide-ranging and detailed rules that almost invariably make it a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. Very often, arbitration is conducted on a similar basis and so suffers similar drawbacks.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) embraces a range of options, falling between litigation and arbitration on the one hand and negotiation on the other, for the effective resolution of disputes.
These options include mediation, expert determination, adjudication and early neutral evaluation. Mediation is by far the most frequently used option…

When I recommended buying Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) on the 18th of March, it was trading at $92.81. This article can be found here: Johnson & Johnson will soon yield over 3%.
Since then, it has gone up even further, reaching a new 52-week high of $102.60. At the time of writing, JNJ is trading at $102.46. As I predicted, the dividend has been increased by $0.04, or 9.4%. However, the increase in price per share has caused the dividend to drop back down to 2.73% (2.62% on a TTM basis). There hasn't been a single point in time over the past 5 years where the dividend yield was this low, as can be seen in the next graph.
JNJ data by YCharts
Johnson & Johnson's 5-year average price to earnings ratio stands at 16.7. At this moment, JNJ is trading for 17.4 times this year's expected earnings. The stock would need to drop to $92.18 before its forward P/E ratio would reach 16.7. The forward price to earnings ratio hasn't been higher at any point over the past 5 years than it currently is.
JNJ PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
The price to sales ratio shows a similar pattern. According to Morningstar, JNJ's average price to sales ratio over the past 5 years has been 3.0. At the moment, Johnson & Johnson has a market cap of $289.87 billion, which is 4.06 times last year's revenue and 3.87 times the average estimate for this year's revenue, which stands at $74.88 billion.
JNJ PS Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
JNJ Current Ratio (Quarterly) data by YCharts
JNJ's balance sheet looks very good. The current ratio hasn't gone below 1.75 over the past 5 years, and the quick ratio currently stands at a very respectable 1.335. Johnson & Johnson's $29.4 billion in cash and short-term investments represents over 10% of its current market cap.
JNJ is a dividend aristocrat, meaning it has increased its dividend every year over the past 25 years. Considering JNJ's strong financial position and the fact analysts expect earnings per share to go up even further to $6.34 next year, I'm convinced Johnson & Johnson will continue to reward its investors with increasing dividends. However, at the moment these future dividends are extremely expensive. There hasn't been a single point in time over the past 5 years where the forward price to earnings and price to sales ratios were higher. The dividend yield is at a 5-year low.
I'd love to own Johnson & Johnson as it's a great company, but not at any price. I'd love to hear your thoughts on JNJ, so please feel free to comment.

She was one of the blackest African American I had ever seen; and her round, shining eyes that were glittering as glass beads, moved with quick and restless glances over everything in the room. Her woolly hair was braided in sundry little tails, which stuck out in every direction. The expression of her face was an odd mixture of shrewdness and cunning, over which was oddly drawn, like a kind of veil, an expression of the most doleful gravity and solemnity. She was dressed in a filthy garment, and she stood with her hands demurely folded before her. She was a replica of her mother; she had got her shrewdness and her appearance. Her mother, Auntie Afifah, just shoved her into my house right after I answered the door while I was on the finishing touches of my 5000 word essay, and scurried hastily off without even telling me anything. Before she called not soon after, I had already expected that there was no one else to babysit her little pain in the ass for her mahjong game. She was renowned for her impish achievements and so far, I was the only one left not babysitted her before. Her roguish smile gave me shivers down my spine.
She could not be that awful, and hence, I wanted to leave a good impression to her by being nice in the first place. Consequently, I reached out to my candy container and with the sweetest smile I could ever get, I passed her a lollipop. What changed my mind was she actually smacked my hand causing the lollipop flew out of my hand, followed by a reluctant, cold stare. I gave her a pretentious smile even though how much I felt like smacking her on the face but all thanks to my parents' good upbringing, I did not do that. I then decided to show her round the house.
"This is the living room, you can watch the television, play the computer but BUT…!" before I could finish my sentence, something caught the corner of my eye as I pointed to her direction, trying to run over to stop her.
Her black, glassy eyes glittered with a kind of wicked drollery, and suddenly she struck up a shrill voice and an odd melody, to which she kept time with her hands and feet, spinning round in a wild sort of time. What shocked me was she gave a prolonged closing note and in addition to it, she turned a somersault or two in which broke my mother's darling limited crystal collections. It was all too late.
"…PLEASE do not! Touch ANY fragile stuff in the house…" I clenched my fist as I finished my sentence with an unyielding tone. I would be so toasted when my mother come home form work.
"Whoop-sieeeeeee…" She dragged the word with no sense of sincerity at all as she came down on the carpet, and jumping around with the most sanctimonious expression of satisfaction written all over her face.
"It's okay. Please, please sit over there and watch the television?" I pleaded.
What a horrible brat an eight-years-old could be, I had been the nicest little shy girl you would have ever met when I was at that age. I seriously did not dare to have the thought to think of what might happen next. Looking at her, afraid of what she might do next, as I cleaned up the mess before continued on my essay.
"I want to EAT!!!!!" she roared as she stormed out of the sofa.
"I only have biscuits, want some?" I replied as politely as possible.
"I DON'T WANT BISCUITS! I WANT NOODLES, I WANT NOODLES, I WANT NOODLES..!" she protested and begun blaring the same words again and again, "I WANT EGGS, I WANT SAUSAGE, I WANT…" she listed out the ingredients and chanting them in that deafening, dreadful singing of hers.
Beginning to get on my nerves, I had no other choice but to cook for her. She kept on chanting those words and it kept ranging inside my ears as I was cooking.
"COULD YOU PLEASE LOWER DOWN YOUR VOLUME?" I burst out as I was really irritated. "You can draw with those crayons and paper in the drawer," I said in the most polite manner I can ever do.
The entire house became silent. I was taken aback by her quietness but I chose to ignore as I would finally have peace after all.
Just as I was serving the noodles to her, I saw her drawing and cutting my essay! I had been preparing the essay since this morning which took me three long hours before I finally reached to the end. Forgetting that I am holding two bowls of noodles on a tray, I instantly dropped them and rushed to my essay.
I picked up the little bits and pieces that had dropped onto the floor, gripped them with my hands and spread them out, groaning. It was time to fight fire with fire.
"YOU THIS LITTLE BRAT! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO WRITE THEM TILL THIS FAR? AND YOU TOOK THEM FOR DRAWING PAPER? SO WHAT YOU ARE FROM AMERICA, YOU ARE NOW IN SINGAPORE. IT IS DIFFERENT. YOU ILL-MANNERED LITTLE CREATURE!" I pointed at her ferociously as I screamed at the top of my lungs right into her face, also swallowing my tears back.
She was astounded by my sudden scolding and begun weeping.
"I am…"
"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP!" I screamed.
"Sorry.., I… didn't mean to… No one has ever… treated me so… nice before… And I wanted… to make you… a card in… return…" she sobbed.
I stared blankly at her, really taken aback. Had I jumped my conclusions too quickly? Had I just scolded her just too harshly? I bent forward, gave her a hug and stroked her hair to calm her down.
"Have I frightened you?" I asked guiltily. All she wanted was someone to be nice to her, giving her their utmost attention and care, and I had actually chided her for something she did not mean to do. I felt so bad.
She shook her head and gave me a smile. This time it was a big and sincere one and I returned her a heartfelt smile back. We had fun after that and really got a chance to know each other once again.

text: This was covered briefly in a couple of emails on this list a couple of weeks ago but I see this as a bug, further discussion please . . . Mock no longer uses a login shell for builds. The way I discovered this is that the ipsec-tools package stopped building. The reason is that it has a BuildRequires for the krb5-devel package, from which it uses krb5-config. krb5-config is installed in /usr/kerberos/bin/, and the user's path is provided by /etc/profile.d/krb5-devel.sh No user shell, therefore no path, and configure fails to find krb5-config. The simple solution for this is to add the following to the %build section of the spec file for ipsec-tools: source /etc/profile.d/krb5-devel.sh Having put that into the spec file, there's potential for what would otherwise be a perfectly acceptable change to the krb5 package to break builds of other packages that have a BuildRequire for it. I'm afraid that this might lead to a proliferation of small changes to spec files that create unneeded dependencies. I'm interested in what other people think about this. Steve

Again, I'm sorry that I wasn't there. Was this the case on the motions in
Obviously, it would be ideal if every member could be treated equally, and
in real life there are examples of it working and not working both ways. My
state and many others put constitutional issues on the ballot, for people
both informed and ignorant to vote on. Other organizations leave all
issues to be decided by elected representatives. It seems to me that
examples of both good and awful results can be found in both methods.
My guess is, that since the vast majority of the members either can't or
don't attend the convention, if this issue was but to a vote of the entire
membership the procedure would be changed. I can see why the elected
officials and the people who attend the conventions think the present method
is just fine, but I don't know why any of the rest of us would vote to
remain disenfranchised.
I have been a member of the AHS for many years and grow hostas for a
living. I'm way over 21, have an IQ of slightly over 100, have never been
convicted of a felony, yet the fact that I can't easily leave my business to
go the the convention means that not only do I not get to vote on the
issues, I don't even get to vote on who will represent me on the governing
body of the society.
I think it's time for a change.

Once Upon A Broken Heart
You told me you would be there.
You even said it aloud.
Broken promises.....
Again and again,
Among a witnessing crowd.
I stand in the center of millions of people.
It makes no difference,
For my heart is an outcast,
All too long in life it stood alone.
I let you in to love me.
To be the one to hold me.
But you walked away
From what you once called your life.
We carved our names on our oak tree,
The one were we planted our first kiss.
Grazing my lips along your face.
We had it all, we had the bliss.
But today is the first day of life moving on.
The sorrowful echos and cries of my voice
I am leaving behind
To be forgotten.
So now I look up with my head held high.
You may have hurt me in an unbearable way.
But the warmth of the sun on my face
Bring me solace and comfort
In a way you only wish you could.
And so I sit here and remember
Our loving days we spent together.
Letting go is sometimes hard.
But I must if were are to be apart.
Contemplating memories and forgiveness
Once upon a broken heart.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days. Auto enthusiasts know that a reliable name is built into each Mercedes-Benz, and understand that only the best repair 300SD parts will suffice when repairs are needed. You purchased your 300SD because its a reputation for strength and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Make no mistake, you bought your 300SD because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one automobile.
A functioning drive train is crucial to the everyday operation of your vehicle. The automatic transmission on your Mercedes-Benz 300SD draws upon a reservoir of hydraulic fluid to both power and lubricate its moving parts. Thus, an automatic transmission filter is required to trap and retain some of the impurities that could be flowing through the fluid. Your car or truck needs to have its automatic transmission filter replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles (unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer). Your Mercedes-Benz 300SD automatic transmission filter is not the same as an oil or air filter, and usually requires the transmission pan be dropped and all the fluid drained so that it can be replaced.
Procuring new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 300SD parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. All the Mercedes-Benz 300SD Transmission Filter parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1993, 1992, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978.

The IAFF couldn't manage to prove their ridiculous theory about his blades being advantageous so they've decided to call him a health a safety risk instead. I can think of one easy way to teach the IAFF just how advantageous those blades really aren't...anyone up for an amputation spree? lol

I have a freind who is an amputee... he can't play local league football because his prosthetic is a 'health and safety risk'. So it seems that the years of work the boffins did to provide a high tech leg that would stand the pace and all the rehab. the NHS invested in getting the guy so amazingly mobile was all for nothing because having rehabilitated him so well he is now considered not 'normal'..his leg is lighter than a flesh and blood one but it's harder....hell, he might even bruise someone!!!

It's still not beyond living recollection that Douglas Bader, double amputee, fought in the Battle of Britain to preserve the petty rights and privileges of wankers like the IAFF committee...
Perhaps they'd like to organise the Olympics like they did in 1936?
Oh...sorry...I forgot...but by awarding them to an oppressive body like the Chinese government, I guess the fuckers already did...
(ps...chuckles...was that obvious enough for you bendy?)

MrN: Thank you, I think I very probably do ;)
Sarah: Can't see it myself! This is about the IAAF trying to do everything they can for some god unknown reason to prevent a disabled athlete competing alongside able bodied athletes. Why I'm not sure, something about it stinks though
GemmaK: You know, the health and safety bollocks is used a ridiculous amount when it comes to preventing disabled people participating, it's quite a common one to try and stop disabled kids in mainstream schools from going on trips, some employers use it to refuse employment and it's a real favourite with social services and occupational therapists to refuse equipment and care, disgusting!
Unixman: We can dream;)

The UK is already a 'world leader' in the online economy, according to the creative industries and telecommunications minister.
Ed Vaizey was speaking at the cable congress in London, where he discussed the progress of the government's plans to put broadband "at the heart of the UK's economic growth".
He pointed to the recent scorecard released by Ofcom, which compared Britain's broadband services to those in France, Germany, Spain and Italy, as evidence of the country's progression.
In the various categories that were assessed, the UK was generally ranked between first and third out of the five nations.
Mr Davey said 100,000 new homes and businesses are currently getting access to broadband each week and take up of super-fast services in the final quarter of 2012 was "well over 650,000".
He commented: "The UK is already a world leader in the online economy, with the internet contributing more than eight per cent of gross domestic product. Our flagship businesses are tapping into global markets, and our consumers enjoy excellent choice and services when choosing their broadband and phones."
The minister said the government's aim is to demonstrate that the UK is one of the best places in the world to do business online and the rollout of high-speed connections must not be delayed by planning refusals or legal disputes. It plans for the average broadband speed in 2015 to be three times faster than in 2010.
However, while the UK generally performed well on Ofcom's scorecard, it is still lagging behind its European rivals in some areas. Ofcom found there are two super-fast connections for every 100 people in the UK, but in Spain there are currently four. Germany and Spain also provide a greater level of super-fast coverage than Britain.
Meanwhile, statistics from Ookla, which runs the popular service speedtest.net, show the UK has only the 18th fastest download speeds in Europe and the 24th quickest in the world. In terms of upload speeds, Britain is ranked just 50th globally.

Our upstairs neighbors have been knocking on our door and running up to their apartment at 2 in the morning and recently there has been gum placed under our door handle.
Missouri does not recognize a claim for "neighbor harassment."
You do have two types of "nuisance" claims, a civil claim and a criminal claim.
The cheapest to handle is the second. Speak with your local police about filing a complaint and they will no doubt speak with your neighbors. It that does not stop it, you will have to develop proof of who exactly is doing this before the police will go further.
To file a civil nuisance complaint, you can use Small Claims Court without an attorney. See the Clerk of the Circuit Court in your area to go that route.
This comment does not create an attorney-client relationship. The law and its application by the courts is constantly evolving and changing.

The arrival of Hurricane Sandy a week before the U.S. federal election could not have been more poorly timed for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Almost all of Mr. Romney's campaign promises can be most charitably described as enigmatic, but he has emphatically, enthusiastically and almost as though campaigning were some kind of phone sex one engages in with the nation, explained that he would relish a chance to close the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better," he said when asked about disaster-relief spending during a 2011 Republican candidates' debate.
When debate moderator John King offered Mr. Romney a chance to walk back from his position – on the off chance that, say, a massive hurricane were to devastate much of the East Coast the following year – the candidate instead added, "We cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids. It is simply immoral."
Naturally, potentially disastrously, for the Romney/Ryan ticket, questions were asked about this as FEMA responded quickly to Hurricane Sandy – making this week's events an important reminder to anyone interested in preserving his public life that they should prepare a Political Emergency Survival Kit.
Properly organized, this kit, along with a few safety tips, will protect you and your loved one chance of becoming president of the United States, should you encounter sudden political hardship.
It should be kept in a dry, fact-checker-free location.
1. Stockpile 72 hours' worth of high-energy, non-perishable statements of the non-committal variety to use if sudden interviews arise. These canned statements should require no additional preparation and should be rich in references to hearts, prayers and thoughts. Deployed properly, these statements can provide effective protection from questions such as those asked of Mr. Romney this week, questions such as, "Governor, are you going to eliminate FEMA?" and even, "Governor, you've been asked 14 times – why are you refusing to answer the question?" When you do eventually answer the question, reverse your previous position entirely. It's best to try as much as possible to carry on as before.
2. In the event that a disaster-struck New Jersey Republican governor with bipartisan support and possible 2016 presidential ambitions starts loudly endorsing your opponent around Hurricane Sandy, with statements such as, "The President has been outstanding in this" – while saying that he is not "the least bit concerned or interested" in whether or not you visit – throw 12 of your 72 hours' supply of bottled water at his picture while sitting alone in your hotel room. Look deep into your soul and ask yourself why he seemed so resistant to being your running mate.
3. Stockpile plenty of Kleenex.
4. Don't be too proud to use a food bank, shamelessly. That's what photographers are for.
5. In the event that a hitherto obscure Senate candidate for your party should suddenly catapult himself into the public eye by explaining that conception through rape is "something God intended to happen," do not run. Talk in a calm voice and walk slowly backward, waving your arms to make yourself look bigger. Throw objects and blow a whistle or an air horn. If you are with others, stay together and act as a group ready to defund Planned Parenthood. Make sure the Senate candidate has a clear escape route, such as wanting to spend more time with his family. If the candidate keeps advancing, use your Senate-candidate pepper spray. Do not withdraw any endorsements or climb a tree.
6. Make sure you have an extra set of car keys, for your extra set of cars.
7. Resist the urge to campaign. Instead, rechristen an already-scheduled event a "food drive," but play your campaign video anyway. Consider holding other non-political events, for causes such as Save the Children From Not Having Mitt Romney For President and Mothers Against Mitt Romney Not Being President Which Would Be Really Sad.
8. Check the expiry dates on your surrogates yearly, lest they lose all sense of irony. In extreme cases, a former head of FEMA who was in charge during Hurricane Katrina may say of the current President's response to a national emergency, "Why was this so quick?"
9. Keep a list of 53 per cent of your contacts, whom you need to worry about, and keep a separate list of the other 47 per cent.
10. And, of course, matches.Report Typo/Error

Shares in the company, formerly know as Iceland, were up 7.1% at 87p, after being down to 76p last week. Dealers said the rise was exaggerated by thin volume of 740,000 shares, in contrast to heavy trading throughout last week and turnover of 12m shares on Friday.
Fidelity said on Friday that it held 28.78m shares in Big Food, or 8.4% of the issued share capital. It said it had added 4.52m shares since its previous filing - last Tuesday - when it said it had bought 2.72m shares.
Analysts said investors were looking for news on Big Food's restructuring amid concern a plan for a sale-and-leaseback property deal had been derailed, and on trading prospects after a difficult period.
'Current trading still looks poor, but at below 100p a lot of bad news is already priced in,' one analyst said. 'Bid rumours don't really go hand in hand with this company but at 80p there could be value there for third parties. In any case this amount of buying in the stock is good for confidence.'

Table Mountain supports 2200 species, more than the entire United Kingdom. Although the Fynbos only comprises 6% of the area of southern Africa, it has half the total number of plant species on the subcontinent – and has almost 1 in 5 of all African plant species so far described.
Hike takes approximately 2-3 hours and finishes with the the Table Mountain Abseil.
Awsome trip with a great bunch of guides! Best way to experience Table Mountain! - Mitch Penney
It was amazing!!! The entire team from start to finish was incredible. I had a truly special day planned for myself and my partner, and the team helped out with the entire process. Thanks so much for an unforgetable day! : ) Calvin van Niekerk - Calvin van Niekerk
Brilliant day out! Worth every step! - Charlotte Bradford
A once in a lifetime chance to experience Table Mountain at a different vantage point. I questioned my sanity once I was hanging but the view is worth it and the feeling thereafter is priceless plus a lifetime worth of bragging rights that I was cool to abseil!!!!!!!!! - Lillian Secelela Madeje
Amazing experience! If and when I make it back to Cape Town, I will be doing this again for sure. The staff was amazing. Everyone from the office staff to the abseiling staff. Everyone made sure I felt safe, and that I had a great time. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. - Scott Lawless

Yo mama evidently didn't subscribe to your theory, you've obviously been dropped on your head a sheitload of times.
