Rage QQuitters...
Re: Rage QQuitters...
I notice most rage quiters are the most over-used characters. I normaly always see Kratos spamming, miss his level 2 or what-not. Then leave.
The only time I leave games is when a 2v2 QM starts off as 2v1. My teamate quits befor the game starts, why should I let the to other players think they are all high and mighty when it's clearly going to be a unbalenced and unfair fight.
Re: Rage QQuitters...[ Edited ]
Ironically, I've been seeing the players with higher levels quit more often lately. Probably because they don't want to lose their rank or something.
I saw it happen the other day when I (somehow) triumphed over a Level 999 Drake and Radec with my Level 520 Drake in ranked FFA. The Drake put up a great fight, but the Radec just up and rage quit 2/3 into the match. XD
Also, "Rage QQuitters," I like that.
Re: Rage QQuitters...
But I believe I also saw one Kratos and one Raiden rage quitting today.

iTRe: Rage QQuitters...
I've seen rage quitters, but they never bother me.
What bothers me the most is when people start teabagging.
I just see them teabagging nothing right after they kill me. In the back of my mind I start thinking "Idiot, teabagging is a two man job."
You forgot to take the safety off, rookie.
Re: Rage QQuitters...
i recently posted an observation mysef {of course trolls made it unuseable} that it seems when the intros are allowed to play out the match is fine and the only time you get the disconnection message is half way through which is a rage quit. someone said its mostly the over used characters like Kratos, and Raiden. i agree with this. but sadly this is what happenes when you play a game taht is meant for children.

Nearly 50 years ago, Cyril Connolly wrote that "the test of a country's justice is not the blunders which are sometimes made but the zeal with which they are put right". He was writing long before the events that were to lead to some of our most notorious miscarriage of justice cases – the Birmingham six, the Guildford four, Stefan Kiszko – but what he said then holds just as true today.
We have just been very powerfully reminded by the case of Sean Hodgson, finally released after 27 years in jail for a murder he did not commit, that such cases will be always with us. The recent charging of 13 police officers and former officers as a result of the wrongful conviction of the Cardiff three is a further signal that the issue is a live one.
For this reason, we are launching Justice on trial, the aim of which is to highlight cases about which there may be major concerns. We aim to examine cases that merit reinvestigation and to report on developments in those on their way through the criminal justice system.
There are already many excellent projects, campaign organisations and sites in existence, and we refer to them in our directory section on the main page. If there are any that we have missed out – and there almost certainly are – we would be grateful for any information on them.
To mark the launch we have made a short film on the issue. In it, three innocent men, Sean Hodgson, John Kamara and Paddy Hill, tell our legal affairs correspondent, Afua Hirsch, of the horrific damage that a wrongful conviction can cause.
Two other films, both about individual cases, will appear on Justice on trial shortly. We have an archive of Guardian articles on individual cases. Suggestions for cases that we should investigate, contributions to the debate on the issue and comments are very welcome and should be addressed to email@example.com.

Kenya, Uganda may decide on oil pipeline route by mid-July - official
By Edmund Blair
NAIROBI, June 18 (Reuters) - Kenya and Uganda could decide by mid-July on the route for a crude pipeline linking their newly found oil fields to the Kenyan coast, a vital step for oil firms to make a final investment decision, a senior Kenyan ministry official said.
Two possible routes have been proposed, one running through north Kenya to the coast in the Lamu region and a second following the route of an existing products pipeline further south that would run to the port of Mombasa.
Oil executives say they cannot make progress with their final investment decision on developing discoveries in Uganda and Kenya until the pipeline route and related costs are clear.
"We told the contractor to do a thorough analysis of the two routes and when it has done the analysis we will be able to meet and make a decision," Joseph Njoroge, the principal secretary at Kenya's energy ministry, told Reuters late on Wednesday.
He said the analysis by Japan's Toyota Tsusho should be completed in about two weeks, and a decision by Uganda and Kenya could happen a week or two later.
That means the decision on the route could be taken in "three weeks to a month" from now, he said, adding that construction could be completed "by about 2018 or 2019".
Britain's Tullow Oil, with stakes in Uganda and Kenya, has previously said it expects to decide on whether to proceed with investment in early 2016.
France's Total and China's CNOOC are also investing in Uganda, while Tullow's partner in Kenya is Africa Oil. Continued...

£51 for 10 years of freedom
No2ID has launched a campaign to get every UK citizen to renew their passport during May 2006. Those who do will avoid (at least hopefully for ten years) the various impositions related to the introduction of the "voluntary" national ID card and register, such as the requirement to turn up at a passport office to have irises and fingerprints scanned. Then when the Tories and Liberal Democrats come to power at the next general election, they can abolish the bloody thing forthwith.
UPDATE: you can pledge your support to this campaign at PledgeBank.

Rio Ferdinand has declared himself fit to play in England's World Cup qualifiers next month despite the after-effects of a calf injury that appeared to slow him down in the Champions League final. The Manchester United defender should join up with the England squad tomorrow night.
Ferdinand (below) was checked by the United medical department when he returned from Rome on Thursday and they have told England's team doctor Ian Beasley Ferdinand is fit to play in the games against Kazakhstan on Saturday and Andorra four days later.
The fitness of Ferdinand is a major victory for Fabio Capello who had feared mass withdrawals from his squad at the end of the season. He has four players in today's FA Cup final and is hopeful that once that game is over he will have available all 24 players named in his squad last weekend. The squad fly to Almaty on Wednesday morning.
Ferdinand missed United's four games before the loss to Barcelona. He is now set to be in an England squad that could be at full-strength apart from David James, Ben Foster, Stewart Downing and Aaron Lennon, and long-term absentee Owen Hargreaves.
Hopes that Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott or even David Beckham could figure in a British Olympic side are expected to be dashed next week despite a deal being struck which should allow England to represent Team GB at London 2012. Fifa's Congress is expected to scrap current rules allowing three players of any age to be included in a team of under-23s.
The proposal, which has already been agreed by Fifa's executive committee, is that players must be under 21 with no over-age players allowed. That would mean a GB team in 2012 would have to be represented by players who are now eligible for the under-18s.Reuse content

The ERGObaby Performance Carrier is perfect for an active parent wanting to take their baby along for various adventures! The sturdy polyester exterior makes it ideal for varying climates and the mesh-lining is breathable which keeps parent and baby cool. The adjustable straps ensure a great fit whether you're 5" or 6.5" - Designed to easily put on and take off for breaks on your outings. As with all ERGObaby carriers, your baby will ride in a healthy, natural sitting position and the padded shoulder straps and waist belt will keep you comfortable. This durable and lightweight carrier is built for active parents wanting to keep their little one close on treks to the mail or when hiking a trail.
- Comfortable for parents: Baby's weight is evenly distributed between hips and shoulders
- Ergonomic for baby: Cradles in a natural sitting position
- 3 carry positions: Front, back & hip
- Padded shoulder straps and waist belt
- Large zippered storage pocket
- Hood to protect baby's head while sleeping and provides protection from sun and wind
- Lightweight carrier: 1.4 lb
- Baby weight range: Up to 45 lbs. For newborns 7 lbs+ use an Infant Insert for extra support
- Machine washable - dries quickly
I have this carrier and the organic ergo carrier. This one really is cooler which is great in the heat and we also use it for hiking. however the original ergo does have more padded shoulder pads, because of this the original is my first choice. the shoulder pads on the performance are like a backpack, they do not have squishy padding but rather thin padding covered in mesh which can be itchy. but that is why it is more breathable and wicks moisture. the material where the baby sits is very soft and breathable. also the waist is contoured in the performance which makes it easier lift your legs higher (like if your hiking). its a great carrier for the summer and active parents, but i needed a softer more padded carrier along with this
I'm a larger chesty woman and this carrier makes it easier for me to carry my daughter. I also have a herniated L4 disc and don't have half the pain I experienced from other carriers. The straps are wide and comfortable. I also like that my daughter's legs are supported instead of just dangling.
I love this carrier! It works well on both my husband (6'3") and I (5'3") with easy adjustment. The straps are soft and comfortable on the shoulders. Carrying my 20lb 7 month old feels like he's as light as air. It's easy to put on and take off, including wearing on the back. I recommend this to everyone!

The concepts of social networks as well as the dynamics of sociometry along with sociograms were first mentioned over 50 years ago. Barnes is credited with the coining the aspect of social networks. The wider aspects of network analysis are etched on the dynamic study regarding how the elemental social structure of ties or associates around an individual, organization, or group can influence behaviors or their individual or collective beliefs. That is why causal impacts are evident in social structures. In this way, network analysis is presented as dynamic approaches employed to detect as well quantify the size and intensity of these impacts. The base of each network approach is founded on the scope that reality need to be investigated from the perspective of the immediate properties allied to the relations allied to and within departments instead of the properties of these segments. It can thus be said to be a relational approach.
As observed in social communication studies, these units are fundamentally social units, societies, individuals, organizations or groups. Numerous studies have established that with network analysis communication involves interconnected persons or groups linked by well developed communication flows and patterns (Rapoport, 1999). This may explain with the realm of network analysis interpersonal ties generated through sharing of information within interpersonal communication is paramount. Within organizations, this scope is employed as a way of identifying how individuals involved relates either from individual level to corporate level. The diverse aspects allied to network analysis play an integral role in establishing healthy relational ties either in groups or societies. The principal objective is within the scope of handling people instead of their of their individual properties (Cranford, 2005).
Sometimes back I was involved in a retail shop. The business employed less than ten people but it had various employees who were contracted on casual basis. The business operated within a definite managerial structure which entailed that both the long term employees as well as those hired on short term basis operated as a definite team. Such configuration saw that the employees shared the burden of serving clients effectively as well as limiting the scope of employee's resistance to changes which were being introduced gradually (Rheingold, 1993). Examining the scope of such dimension, it would be gauged with the parameters of network analysis, it can be construed that the employees relationship played a central role in reinforcing individual as well as group associations. This can be etched on the fact that each employee was more concerned with his personal relationship with others instead of what constitute a particular person.
The way we related in some constituted how on personal level each felt about each other, associations as well as group participation or sharing of diverse tangible commodities. Through these dynamics, network analysis can be employed to establish and equally map affiliations and as well uncover the emergent or informal communication prototypes in the organization. Thus using the dynamics of network analysis, the organization more often exploited both formal and informal communication structures. The divergent objectives of using these configurations are as a result of having a definite structure of examining the effects of emergent patterns among the employees and this was later used to explain on the way the phenomena shaped the organization as well as the employees. The positive scope of communication influenced even the way the employs interacted and executed their duties. Thus, as we worked within this organization, the dynamics of network analysis could be based on the workers perceived the wider objectives of open communications, and this influenced their perception of each other as well as the organization in whole. In regard to the elements of network analysis, as observed in this business, the employees had developed unique patterns which correlated with what the business needed in terms of employee's engagement. On the other hand, it facilitated diverse relational aspects which allowed all employees to sustain contact as regards attitudes as well as behaviors allied to other group employees. This may help to explain why the group employees had diversified attitudes towards each other or some of the business activities. Likewise, some of the employees had developed diverse preferences towards certain business events and activities. There are those who had a higher affinity of acting as business sales people and others disliked being in the packing bay. All these behaviors reflect on the scope of contagion theory which is also allied to network analysis. Due to such observations the group communication structure is thus based on teamwork, each employee is perceived as a team member and no one is considered as being superior to others. The structure has seen the employees being more productive and has higher respect for each other. This can be allied to the dynamic aspects linked the organizations communication dynamics which are set to motivate and equally propagate internal, communication objections. In regard to the principals of net analysis, one of the foremost aspects of this approach as regards the said business is illustrated by the employee's healthy communication patterns.
Due to the multiplicity of personality within the business structural settings, the scope of communication now and then shifted from corporate level to individualism. That is why the scope of network analysis is employed in this case to ascertain the motive behind the shift in regard to the communication scope as reflected within structural analysis. That is why due to such observations; the dynamics associated with network analysis calls for reevaluation of various elemental units of evaluation. This would help in establishing the parameters of analytical procedures employed. From this dimension, it is evident that the employees were involved in developing dynamic communication ties which were not based on kinship but on friendship or companionship levels in the organization. As demonstrated in the organization the scope of communication was anchored with definite patterns as regards individual to individual communication. This in some instances was as a result of age, experience, sex, attitude as well as ones income. Despite these aspects, from structural analysis of the organization, they defined who and how the employees interacted. However, they did not help to establish the degree or intensity of how the individuals bonds were transitive. That is why when evaluating this business using network analysis; it becomes important to evaluate the communication and structural ideals far beyond individual aspects. This is intended to examine the scope as well as the logical consistency of set engagements rules in the organization such as development of friendship, frequency of communication as well as circularity of management hierarchy (Granovetter, 1973).
Due to the scope of modern actors within organizational structures, the exploitation of network analysis theory has played a predominant role in setting the procedures of evaluation. This can be explained by the way diverse procedures have been employed to gauge the entire scope of networks in this group. It is through such analysis that it was found that the organization had various variables that fuelled the scope of interpersonal relationship among the employees as well as employees with the customers. Such variables were within the context of communication exchanges employed by the employees to sustain positive working environment as well as social relationships in the organization. Thus, it can be construed that the fundamentals of network analysis were etched with the expansive process of sharing information, giving emotional support, including providing companionship as well as discussing work related issues.
With the wider concept of network analysis, the element of relationship plays a pivotal role. As noted in the organization, the communicated effectively where the relations were more characterized by direction, strength as well as content. In this case it can be argued that the content of the employees relations are allied to the resources in the organization. This may explain why the organization had employees who embraced various forms of communication and equally share definite information with certain employees or clients. This covered personal organizational or as well work related and social concerns in the business. Thus, where the communication involved sending or receiving information, the employees had peculiar ways of handling incoming or outgoing information. This may help to measure the scope of transparency among the employees, the communication objectives as per the employees participation was within the perimeters of trust. Thus as depicted in the scope of network analysis relation can fall within the context of directed or as well undirected dimension. Since the organization has diverse aspects regarding individual concerns as well as communicational links, the elements of support are thus well articulated in the organization. This also explains why some of the employees share explicitly the values of undirected friendship and this improved the working atmosphere in the group.
As observe in this business, the fundamentals of structural evaluations indicate that a tie may connect a pair of employees through either one or more relations. Hence, these pairs may in one way or the other maintain definite ties which are anchored on a single relationship such as being a member of a specific teamgroup,or equally be based on the multiplex ties where the ties are etched on numerous relations, this may entail sharing of data, or as well financial support. As is with the examined business, it is evident that the ties do vary as per direction, content as well as strength. And this illustrates why numerous scholars often speaks of ties as either strong or weak.
Due to the nature of the business as well as its organizational structure, it has emerged from the employees that tied could be weak if they are not regularly checked, also where the employees had no shared work, friendship or tasks in the group.however, the scope of strong ties was found to be based on diverse personal aspects such as self disclosure, regular contacts, intimacy as well as provision of reciprocal services in the organization (Zhang, n.d). In this case it would be paramount to assert that both strong and weak ties in the organizational settings play an important role. This is due to the fact that they do facilitate the flow of information between the involved parties and this solidifies interpersonal communication. As noted in the organization, those employees with stronger ties had a higher chance of sharing information. However, this sharing can be restricted by what is flowing in to the business network.
Using network analysis theory, it is evident that the given relations in a tie, the greater the multiplex is the given tie. The network analysis have established that these multiplex ties tend to be more voluntary, intimate,durable as well as being supportive. However, the nature of business may restrict such benefits. As noted in this organization lack of counter balance in the ties diminished the scope of strong or specialized ties. This is also as a result of lack of adequate modern communication mediums such as the internet and the fax in the work place. What this constituted is a low and weak relation among the employees (Scott,1991). The wider scope of multiplex dynamics requires combination of various communicational elements so as to enhance the development of strong relations as well as well established ties among the various actors in the organization. In brief the dynamics of network analysis are paramount in as far the evaluation of various organizational as well as communication structures are concerned. The theory is instrumental when defining what constitutes proper communication patterns among the employees. As observed in the business given, the extent of analysis cannot ignore since it has played a predominant role in establishing if the business is anchored within healthy structures either within structural or communicational domain (McGrath, 2004).

Whether gaming, streaming HD videos, or connecting multiple devices at the same time, we want to ensure they have the speeds they need."

"We're excited to learn of Comcast's speed increases for thousands of our area residents and appreciate the company's on-going investments across the region."

Comcast will also notify customers who may need to upgrade their modems to receive the increased speeds. Customers who lease modems from Comcast will be able to receive upgraded modems at no additional charge.

Series: Cryptogamica Helvetica Volume: 21
320 pages, illus
Language: German, with multilingual summary in English, French, German, and Italian
The Canton of Bern is the second in size and covers parts of the three main geographical areas: Jura, Plateau, and Alps. Its geology, vegetation and climate is highly diverse and supplies a large variety of habitats for bryophytes. The species diversity therefore is very high: on an area of only 5961 km2, 850 species and subspecies are known (2 hornworts, 202 liverworts, and 646 mosses). This equals 80% of the Swiss bryophyte flora. Particularly rich are the Alps with roughly 800 species, which is 94% of all species known in the Canton of Bern.
For each species the distribution is given, either as map or, for more rare species, as list of localities. Maps and distribution lists are based on 2726 records. Additionally, for each species information on habitat, substratum and red list status is provided. Of 25 mainly alpine species, which were so far not or only rarely illustrated, drawings of habit and important characters are presented. The investigated area is described in detail and the history of the bryological exploration of the Canton of Bern is treated in a separate chapter.

Is this love?Mature
Is this love?
This wretched, violent festering
that threatens to tear through
and leave my body as shed skin
somewhere far behind.
I am so eager to be apart from
and with you. Neither suits me,
so I demand them both.
Christ, to wholly feel this thing
would kill me. The extremes are
too close to each other, only a breath
away, only a blink.
To love you this way, is
to hate you, also.
To know you only wildly.

A Canadian Journalism Watchdog says the government needs to do more to get former Al-Jazeera journalist Mohammed Fahmy out of Egypt.
Tom Henheffer of the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression says it's shocking that while Europe and the U-S have condemned Fahmy's arrest — Canada hasn't.
"I was speaking to Mohammed yesterday and he says the government has been very helpful as of late and that they are meeting with the Egyptians. But Harper has still yet to come out and condemnt this attack. And we're asking him to do that."
But Henheffer says the government got involved far too late — and may have botched its chance to have Fahmy deported in February.
But he says with an election now in full swing — he expects to see mounting public pressure for the government to act.
Speaking on the Weekend Afternoon Show,Henheffer says the case is about intimidating the local press.
"The reason they did it is not because they have some fear of these guys being involved in a terrorist network, it's because it's an authoritarian regime and they want to quell any press freedom in the country and let reporters know if they don't toe the government line they'll be in Jail."
Canadian Journalist Mohammed Fahmy was covering the Arab Spring for Al Jazeera when he was arrested in 2013.
He was convicted this morning on terror charges for allegedly assisting the Muslim Brotherhood.

Sierra's problems continue, as the Spy receives other reports of programs not functioning besides the ones cited here last month. To be fair, the Olive Tree folk managed to get their Bible Study program working on Sierra, reducing the number of fails by one.
On the other hand, he now has multiple reports of Sierra installs killing off or corrupting the keychain, and some of SSH, ITunes, and other apps failing, or running very slow. There are also compatibility issues with Apple's own Mail program, certain sound file types, and fast battery drain.
Safari is quirky too, but that was a problem in El Capitan as well--so much so the Spy has given up on the product for now and will use the ultra-reliable Firefox as his default browser.
Sometimes the upgrade process itself fails or hangs. Advice: don't sidegrade, continue to use El Capitan, which is much more stable. But if you really want to take the leap...| Read more »

If you do not have the required installation experience, you can still attend the class as a Non-certification Participant or as an Apprentice Installer.
Non-certification Participants are students who are not actively installing vinyl siding, but want to have the training and knowledge about installing vinyl siding. Companies sometimes have their customer service or sales representatives take the course as Non-certification Participants. Non-certification Participants do not take the certification examination.
An installer without two years of experience can still participate in the program as an Apprentice Installer. Apprentice Installers will not receive their certification until they pass the examination and obtain the required experience.

McDermott Will & Emery has almost doubled its partner numbers in Italy, hiring three partners from Trivoli & Associati to launch a tax practice.
Tax partner Carlo Paolella is leading the exodus from Trivoli and is joined by Mario Martinelli, and Andrea Tempestini,
Their practice will focus on the tax elements of corporate transactions, an area which McDermott used to farm out to Italian tax boutiques.
The move boosts the numbers of partners in McDermott's Italian arm to seven.
McDermott entered the Italian market with a merger with Carnelutti in 2003, which collapsed two years later.

Virginia Saunders :: Visions & Dreams
March 12 – April 15, 2012
Virginia Saunders received her MFA in printmaking and drawing at the University of South Carolina. Her body of work Visions and Dreams is a compiled series from her travels to Europe and China. With the assistance from specialized software, Saunders has composed multiple photographs and delicately edited and layered the images. Even though Saunders has explored the field of photography she feels that the camera is only an assisted tool that helps her record the visual material. She does not consider herself a photographer, but rather a forager searching and capturing pieces of the physical world that inspires her. Saunders further studies her collection in her studio and combines various elements to form images that provide overall extended meanings. According to Saunders, "she recently has directed her attention towards concentration on private imagery, which is a strong personal aesthetic and technical expertise for her."
Exhibitions and visiting speakers programs at the School of Art are supported by generous grants from the Helen Jones Foundation and The CH Foundation, both of Lubbock. Additional support comes from Cultural Activities Fees administered through the College of Visual & Performing Arts.

After 5 years of continuous research, Ultimate Nutrition is proud to release Iso-Sensation 93 containing 100% IsoChill® Whey Protein Isolate.
IsoChill is a functional whey protein isolate, processed by a novel ultra-low temperature microfiltration process to contain a full balance of undenatured bioactive whey proteins including immunoglobulin (IgG), lactoferrin (Lf), and glycomacropeptide (GMP). It is derived from sweet whey, membrane-filtered and spray-dried by indirect heat to ensure the highest product quality.
Iso-Sensation 93 is further enhanced with Colostrum, and an enhanced delivery system through an added Glutamine Complex, SI Complex, and D Complex.
Try a gourmet-flavoured Iso-Sensation today and you will be hooked. You will never go back to regular Whey Protein Isolate again.
This unique formula is further enhanced with Colostrum. Colostrum has long been considered nature's first food. This pre-milk substance supplies nutrients and other necessary biological elements and activates and regulates numerous immune, growth, and repair processes. However the benefits do not stop at birth! Numerous studies have shown that colostrum continues to exert important biological activities when given to adults. As our bodies age, we produce less of the immune factors needed to ward off disease and infection. Supplemental colostrum can help replenish these stores.
Supplement Facts:
Container Size: 2 Lbs.
Container Size: 5 Lbs.
Amount Per Serving:
INGREDIENTS: IsoChill® (Double Cold-Temperature Processed Cross-Flow Full-Spectrum Premium Microfiltrated Whey Protein Isolate), Cocoa, Colostrum, Glutamine Complex (Glutamine Peptides, Glutapure® Glutamine, N-Acetyl L-Glutamine), SI Complex (Alpha Lipoic Acid, d-Pinitol, 4-Hydroxyisoleucine), D Complex (Protease, Lactase), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Lactoferrin, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose and Soy Lecithin. Contains Milk, Soy and Wheat.
DIRECTIONS: Mix 1 scoop in 6 ounces (177 ml) of cold water or non-fat milk. Consume 1 to 4 servings per day (depending on your protein requirements). For best results, consume 1 serving immediately after you workout.

Chapter 23Mature
"How could this happen?"
Danny lowered the high powered night vision optics from the window of the nondescript grey van. He turned to his accomplice, who was calmly watching the array of video monitors behind him.
"I don't know why you even bother with the scopes like that. The cameras have higher resolution." Jim mocked.
Danny gave his brother a half-cocked, sideways glance. "Because I like looking right at the target. Then if something goes down, I can just hit the safety and shoot…"
"Except that we aren't allowed to shoot anyone, soo… that kinda renders your whole argument moot."
"Where's Peter?" He asked, ignoring the quip.
"He never shows up on the imaging. I swear that guy could blend in anywhere… He's like some goddamned ninja…" He plopped himself down. "I'd have thought he'd at least thrown a rock or something --to break things up."
"Probably too obvious… Mike would know something was up with something like that. They snuck that one by us, but it was just a peck –nothing to worry about…"
"You two really are stupid, you know…"
Danny and Jim turned to see Marcus sitting calmly in the passenger seat. Neither of them heard him enter the vehicle.
"Jeezus, man!" Jim snapped. "I forgot you're just as bad as Peter. We should put a fuckin bell around your neck or something so you won't scare the shit of us."
"I'll remember to knock next time. And you can forget about it just being a friendly peck. Did you actually watch what was going on?"
The two brothers stared blankly back at Marcus. "I forgot how emotionally stunted you two idiots are… What we just witnessed was the buddings of real-life, honest-to-goodness, love…"
Danny and Jim turned to each other in disbelief. "That fast?" They said in unison.
"What do you mean that fast? Those two spend every waking moment together. You'd have needed a crowbar to pry them both apart. They know everything about each other and they're best friends. Now that Mike's a girl, it was pretty much a slam dunk that something like this was gonna happen." Marcus replied.
"Yeah, but they're not gay… Right?"
Both Jim and Marcus looked at Danny in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding? Were you paying attention at all to what Dr. Rigby said? H-E-L-L-O…. Mike is a girl. The boobs should be a dead giveaway —or maybe I should diagram it for you… Hormones, mood swings, tears and all the things that make girls girls… And Mike is in puberty on top of it."
"I'm just sayin…" Danny defended. "I'd have thought it a little gay if I knew. It's not like no one's thinking it. I just said it out loud first…"
Marcus rolled his eyes at his oldest brother, shaking his head. "All right –that's it! Call everybody in right now! We scrub for tonight."
"But she's still not home yet…"
"We live two blocks away. I think she'll be all right. I'm changing the mission parameters…"
"I don't get it."
"I know. Mike is almost ten years younger than you. She's just a child, but none of us really know what this is like for her. …So we are all going to take turns getting to know her. Plus, I'm tired of spending my evenings sheepherding you two idiots in this fucking cramped Van!"
Jim looked hurt as he meekly replied. "I like hanging out in the van…."

Twisted by the flames into a nightmarish tangle of impenetrable metal, this is all that remains of Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier.
Five days ago, it was teeming with holidaymakers enjoying a traditional British day out at the seaside. Then the fire began.
It is thought to have broken out in a deep-fat fryer in the staff canteen on Monday morning.
Wreck: This tangled mess of metal is all that is left of Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier
Within minutes, the entire wooden pavilion at the end of the mile-and-a-quarter pier was ablaze, sending up a plume of smoke that could be seen from Cardiff, 60 miles away.
An hour-and-a-half later, the fine Edwardian landmark that graced the Somerset seaside town for 104 years was a smoking ruin.
Gone are the rollercoaster, the ghost train, the bowling alley, the dodgems, the rows of slot machines and the restaurants. Gone also are the fine art deco pavilions and towers built following the pier's first disastrous fire in 1930.
All that is left is a formidable challenge for owners Kerry and Michelle Michael. The brother and sister partnership bought Grand Pier for £10million earlier this year and had already invested heavily in new attractions and renovations.
Grand Pier owners Kerry Michael (right), with his sister Michelle (centre), and bank manager Martin Fey survey the wreckage after Monday's fire
Mr Michael, 49, said: 'We will work tirelessly to restore this magnificent structure to its former glory.'
The pier is a Grade II listed building, and one of only 55 that remain around the country.
And, while there is sure to be a large insurance payout, the cost of restoration is forbidding – with one estimate last night putting it at between £18million and £25million.
Visitors to the pier are able to walk within metres of the burnt out pavillion
Yesterday the remains of the pier reopened to the public as Mr Michael confirmed that 'arson had been ruled out' as the cause of the blaze.
Most of the main walkway is now open to the public with visitors able to walk within feet of the burnt pavilion.
The landward end of the attraction - which includes six gift and confectionery shops - is also fully operational.
After taking a walk round the twisted mass of steel which was once the pier's pavilion, Mr Michael said 'without the pier open, Weston is not open'.
He said: 'It will be operating as normal other than the pavilion. The public will be able to come within 20 feet and see the devastation.'
The devastating blaze has all but destroyed the pavilion while the rest of the pier reopened to the public
'They've ruled out arson and they've also ruled out deep-fat fryers. In fact, the experts don't think it started in the restaurants.
'It means everything to see the pier open. Anything is better than nothing.
'The staff have been excellent, they obviously feel the same as we do. They've been great,' Mr Michael said.
He added that they hope to get plans for re-building the pier moving as soon as possible.
While it would only take a year to rebuild the pavilion, Mr Michael said the process would be lengthened by public consultation.
As it was: The pier's owners hope to restore the iconic attraction to its former glory
The Grand Pier Gift Shop, the Boardwalk Cafe and the Shoreside Snack Bar were all open yesterday.
Fiona Hooper, 45, from Bleadon, Somerset, who normally works in the marketing department which was based in the destroyed pavilion, will be helping out in the shops instead.
She said: 'We're really happy to be open so soon. It was so sad to see the fire.
'I didn't think it would be opened up so quickly. I do think it's going to be really busy today.'
Investigators will continue to examine the skeleton of the far end of the pier for a possible cause of the blaze.
Yesterday it was revealed 370 arcade machines - along with an unknown amount of coins inside them - had melted in the fire.
The 1,000C (1,832F) blaze destroyed the amusement arcades on the platform.
The fire service warned budding treasure hunters that no cash, machines or safes had fallen into the sea or on the beach.
Station manager Malcolm Jenkins said people were being kept away from the pier site by a 330 yard exclusion zone patrolled by police and private security guards.
More than 30 firefighters took 90 minutes to extinguish the blaze
Smoke from the 1,000C (1,832F) fire could be seen from up to 50 miles away

Jessica- A new editionMature
When I walked in Em was on the couch reading one of her novel's, and no sight of the boy's. I guess she wanted to relax before I came home. It's already 3:00 PM and my shift starts in two hours.
I was about to walk in and join her when the vomit filled my throat again, so I ran straight for the bathroom. I had asked my dad to stop at the drug store on the way home, and I ran in and secretly grabbed a pregnancy test.
After I cleaned my face up, I followed the directions on the box. Just as I was waiting my two minutes Em knocked on the door.
"Everything OK?" she asked.
"Yes and No I will be out in a minute," I called back.
I could hear Em tapping her foot nervously outside the door, she knew something was up.
"Hurry up what's your news," she said impatiently.
I held the test up, positive sign I knew it. What am I going to do now, I wasn't going to tell Tyler right away. He had enough going on with Helen at the moment. I'm not even sure if he wanted more kids. I opened the door and held out my hand that held the test.
"Whoa, does Tyler know?" Em asked.
"NO and I don't want to tell him yet," I told her.
"Tell me what?" Tyler asked as him and David walked into the hallway.
"Sorry, I didn't get a chance to tell you I invited them when you told me you were close," she shrugged her shoulders.
I was trapped I had no choice but to tell him now, but I wanted to do it in privacy. I concealed the test before they could see it.
"Um, I have to use the restroom and I be right out," I fake smiled.
In the restroom I felt like I was having a panic attack. Then Em came in and calmed me down while the guys waited in the living room. We finally came out, and I asked Tyler to come to my room.
"Oooh already you just got back," David teased.
Em shook her head to let him know it was not a joking matter. Tyler followed me into my room, and I closed the door which I rarely do.
I took a deep breath and handed him the test. At first he was quiet and the he sat next to me on the bed.
"Your...pregnant?" He asks.
"Yes," I began to cry.
He held me in his embrace and pet my hair as I cried. I was just getting things on track, I'm not ready to be a mom already. It was all too much to handle.
"It's going to be OK pumpkin I'm not going anywhere," he assured me.
I just let him hold me for a while, and then I had to get ready for work. He dropped me off and said he would be back after my shift.
It was hard to concentrate at work with all that has happened. I was happy to see Tyler as I walked out to the car. He told me that we were having a movie night, all four of us. I didn't fight the plan, I needed to be around people right now.
"Helen is moving back to Texas next week," Tyler told me on the drive home.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes, the house is still in my uncle's name so she can't kick me out." he smiled.
" I can handle a week," I smiled as we pulled into the drive way. all the lights were out at Tyler's, so Helen wouldn't be giving us any trouble. Tyler said that Helen had no idea where he was staying either.
when we got home Em ran up and hugged me, then she gave my a big purple bag. Inside were shoes and dresses, and it made me feel better. Even though I wouldn't be able to wear the dresses so, depending on how big I got.
David had order pizza's that arrived right before we got there, and Tyler had selected some movies on his way to get me. We all gathered in the living room and pigged out on pizza.
Em told me about her plans with the bathroom, and I thought it was a great Idea being as we would have a new addition soon. I was glad to have such great people who cared about me in a time like this. Em told me her news of school, so the bathroom project would keep her occupied now.
I told them about my father's gesture to put his name on my birth certificate. I also mentioned that they were invited to Port Aransas with us.
We all cuddled on the couch together and put the first movie in, I didn't care what it was just that I was surrounded by love.
Halfway into the movie my phone rang.
"Hello," I answered. Yes this is her. What? Your kidding me. Thank you for the warning, " I said as I hung up.
"What is it?" Em asked.
"They were transferring Jim to another wing, and he escaped," I told her.
"Then were staying here tonight," David insisted.

Education Week
By: Jane Stancill
April 6, 2011
Here's a bright idea: If you want smarter kids, treat them as if they're smart.
A U.S. Department of Education evaluation of a North Carolina program shows that when at-risk students are taught as if they are gifted and talented, they are likely to perform better academically.
The pilot program, called Project Bright IDEA, operated from 2004 to 2009 in kindergarten through second-grade classrooms in 11 North Carolina school districts. Five thousand students were in the program at schools that receive federal funding because of a high percentage of low-income children.
The study found that within three years, the number of children identified by their school districts as being academically and intellectually gifted ranged from 15 percent to 20 percent. That compared to just 10 percent of children in a control group. The year the project began, no third-graders from the schools in the study had been identified as gifted.
Teachers in the study received intensive training on strategies aimed at gifted children.
Some schools have since adopted elements of the strategy, including Fuquay-Varina High School, where the achievement gap between white and black students declined by 6 percentage points in the past four years.
The project was based on the view that all kids can learn gifted behavior, said William "Sandy" Darity, professor at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy.
"We disproportionately locate black and Latino kids in those environments where they get the dumbed-down instruction," Darity said. "So one of the exciting things about Project Bright IDEA is the premise that you provide this high-level curriculum and instruction to all the kids."
That means you can eliminate what is, in effect, "internal segregation" that happens within schools when teachers group students for lessons, Darity added.
Training Teachers Key
The training of teachers is key, said Margaret Gayle, co-designer of the program and director of the American Association for Gifted Children at Duke. The program was designed to give teachers new skills tailored for advanced students.
"They challenge students more; they do more with problem-based learning," she said. "They get a lot of higher-level instructional strategies, they know better how to motivate kids."
Educators say the methods don't mean that teachers have to work harder, but that they do work smarter.
"A lot of times, especially with the younger kids, a lot of teachers will like to dumb down the language that they use with students," said Danielle Dingus, a second-grade teacher at Northeast Elementary in Kinston, a school that has adopted the concept. "What we do with Project Bright IDEA is we expose the students to language they are going to need to know and use in the real world."
Training is Costly
Training teachers on a large scale would not be cheap. In workshops and weeklong summer programs, the teachers were taught by experts how to develop students' behavior, including how to pose questions, take risks and invent solutions. Teachers need new tools, said Darity, as opposed to penalties.
"Many of the educational reforms, or so-called reforms, are aimed at pushing teachers out who appear to not be successful in their classrooms," he said. "This approach is saying we really need to give teachers an opportunity to reorder and recreate the way in which they engage with their students."
It's not a radical idea, added Gayle. All professions are retooling.
"We need to retrain every teacher in America, just the way we retrain our doctors and other professions, to meet the challenges of the 21st century," she said.

Re: UMvsC or BlazBLue???
I think he is talking about Tatsunoko vs Capcom. That game is like MvC 2 with a very JRPG char selection. Very good game. BlazBlue is basiclly the current gen guilty gear.
Re: UMvsC or BlazBLue???
I own both games. In my opinion, from both a technical and soulful standpoint, BlazBlue is the better game.
If I owned a Vita, I'd by EXTEND for it in a heartbeat.
Re: UMvsC or BlazBLue???
I preffer BlazBlues art to UMvC and I like that it's a more complex game.
And I couldn't find a review of BlazBlue that showed the tap to win method on UMvC where you just tap the enemy character and your character will automatically do combos for you. Though I could be wrong but of course in higher level of skill play that probably won't win you any matches(Or will it?)
Re: UMvsC or BlazBLue???
I recently bought Blazblue and Its very fun. I love MvC but I wanted more of an rpg feel. MvC does have crossplatforn play, so if your friends all own ps3s and this game I recommend MvC so you can face them while on the go haha
Re: UMvsC or BlazBLue???
Got both games when I picked up the Vita.
Well into both but I like BlazBlue better. There's more strategy and technique and less awesome screen candy for the sake of it.
I'm gonna be playing the PSP Tekken 6 more than either of these though, I hope Namco is working on a Vita release!

- - The show with ortiz and dana white sucked!!!! (http://www.mmaforum.com/mma-smacktalk/12327-show-ortiz-dana-white-sucked.html)
The show with ortiz and dana white sucked!!!!
I watched the show a couple days ago where ortiz and dana were supposed to fight. I was so pissed off when there was no fight in the end.
What a waste of time.
I thought it was good show(even though no fight) for new MMA fans. Can't please everyone.
i knew the results a few weeks ago and i watched the show just to see dana put on some gloves. i thought it was a very well done show and unfortunately tito screwed over SPIKE TV(the ppl who made the show, not dana's fault u are mad) and wasted dana's time.
Its already a topic thats been beaten to death, but of course, no one who watched that show was satisfied.
I enjoyed the show, i was pretty sure there was not going to be a fight but i liked it anyways.
I did not realize there was not going to be a fight. I had people over to watch it and everything and then Tito did not show. tito said he did not show because he was not going to get paid, wtf if dana one who would pay him besides him. Tito asked for the fight, he's the one that made it public so he has no right to back out.
Really its the fault of the people on spike TV. They made it seem like a fight really happened when they were promoting the show.
i tried to stay up and watch it because i thought it would be a fight at the end. now im glad i fell asleep. i still wasted an hour on that damn show. an hour i couldve been sleeping
they keep showing it on spike for some reason

Frozen Wild Sushi Grade Pacific Bluefin Belly (Toro) 0.5 lb Portion
This product is available during these seasons:
We receive Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) from local fishermen who catch it off the coast of California and Baja California. Also known as Northern bluefin, the species is smaller in size than a typical farm-raised tuna.
The toro is cut from the fattiest portion of the tuna belly. Especially prized by sushi chefs and sushi aficionados for sashimi and sushi maguro, it presents pink to near white in color with a rich, buttery taste. Because of its high fat content and distinctive flavor, toro is always best enjoyed raw.
Pacific bluefin is highly migratory, moving between Japan and the eastern Pacific off California and Mexico. Though Pacific bluefin historically has been overfished, overfishing in the U.S. is not occurring. According to NOAA FishWatch, although Pacific-wide populations are below target levels, U.S. wild-caught Pacific bluefin tuna is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed under rebuilding measures that limit harvest by U.S. fishermen.
For the last three years, the U.S. has been working with IATTC to rebuild Pacific bluefin stocks. IATTC is responsible for the conservation and management of fisheries for tunas and other species taken by tuna-fishing vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. As a result of the U.S. and Mexico reducing catch limits by 40% in the last three years, we are seeing the highest numbers of bluefin off California in three decades. Further, only a small fraction of the total Pacific-wide bluefin harvest is taken within U.S. waters, and U.S. fisheries represent just 2% of the average annual landings from all fleets fishing in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Ingeo Biopolymer Tops 'Smallest Carbon Footprint' List Among Commonly Used Plastics
NatureWorks' online calculator offers brand owners and researchers a tool for comparing GHG emissions and the non-renewable energy use of products made from different plastics.
With many consumer product brands increasingly looking to reduce their carbon footprint, several different types of plastics recently have had reassessments of their eco-profile—energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). In step with this market trend, there has been an update to the profile of Ingeo biopolymer from NatureWorks, Minnetonka, Minn. Called "Life Cycle Inventory and Impact Assessment Data for 2014 Ingeo Polylactide Production", the article was also just recently peer reviewed and approved for publication in the June 2015 issue of Industrial Biotechnology by an independent panel of experts.
The eco-profile of a polymer gives information such as the total energy and raw materials consumed, and the total emissions to air, water, and soil from the cradle to the finished polymer pellet. A life cycle inventory (LCI) is an essential input to any full LCA conducted on consumer products made from that polymer.
"Our most recent eco-profile in 2010 was calculated using the methodology, the modeling software, and core database in place at the time. The same approach was used by such industry organizations as Plastic Europe since the beginning of the 1990s to calculate the eco-profiles for the fossil-based polymers. However, LCA tools and databases have progressed in the past four years, and we decided it was time to recalculate the eco-profile based on those advancements," says NatureWorks environmental affairs manager Erwin Vink.
Overall, the publication of the new Ingeo life-cycle assessment (LCA) shows that GHGs and energy usage during its manufacture is lower than all commonly used plastics, including PP, PET, GPPS and ABS. The article documents the energy and GHG inputs and outputs of the Ingeo production systems, the revised 2014 Ingeo eco-profile, and the calculation and evaluation of a comprehensive set of environmental indicators. It also addresses topics such as land use, land-use change, and water use.
To help brand owners and researchers in the direct use of this life-cycle assessment data, NatureWorks now has available an online calculator--Environmental Benefits Calculator--providing them with a tool for comparing the net GHG emissions and the nonrenewable energy use of products made with different plastics. The calculator provides an intuitive interface from which manufacturers and brands can input data details and receive instantaneous feedback on the environmental impact of the materials they are using.
This revised eco-profile (the cradle-to-polymer life cycle inventory data), which is based on the latest version of Thinkstep's GaBi LCA software and database, follows the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards and reinforces the fact that the production of Ingeo polymer emits fewer GHGs and consumes less non-renewable energy compared to other commonly used plastics.

These are made of great quality fabric that will last for many washes. I have a 3 year old and she wears a xs if this helps any moms out there
I got this for my daughter for Christmas. She is too young to take any local ballet classes, but wanted to be a ballerina, the price is right and it really does look adorable. She wears this at least 1 hour a day while playing and sometimes the whole day. It lasts through errands (with the matching tutu), play, and nap time. With how hard my little tomboy is on clothing, I would say your child wil outgrow this before it needs to be replaced when using it for classes.
Great quality, color is as expected, runs a little big.
had to get a pink leotard for child's ymca dance class. the ones they sell are quite expensive. was glad to find this! actually bought it in the store. it proved sturdy, held up through weekly washes (always hung it to dry) and maintained its look and fit for the semester of her classes.
I bought a size M for my 6-year-old daughter, who usually wears a size 7. It fits perfectly. Grateful for quick delivery, too.
I purchased this for my three year old for her class. It has held up thru many washings and is cheaper than many competitors.
Item was exactly as described. It fit slightly bigger than expected, but not to where it was a problem. Arrived on time, and is durable.
I ordered size XXS for my very thin & petite 2 year-old and it just fits (most 2T clothing is too large on her). Fits more like a size 18-24 mos. The material is thin and slightly see-through. I can see her chest and the designs on her diaper clearly through the fabric. Material is soft and stretchy in a pretty pale pink color. Tagless design is a nice touch. Overall, not bad for the price.
My daughter's a size 2T, almost 3T. I ordered the smallest size they had in this and it's a little baggy. But, she's obviously not dancing competitively and this serves its purpose well. She loved the color!
This black leotard lasted my daughter over 2 years and is still in good shape except for some fading
from washing every week. It is a nice comfortable material. Just purchased another one in a bigger size. The price is half of some of the more expensive brand names and is the same quality.
You can't beat it!!
the product is great and worth the price. Overall great deal and quality. I plan to buy another so my daughter will have two on hand. The delivery was not good. Came 3 days late this is the first time I've order from Walmart online that my order came later than expected but every other time it was on time.
Difficult to find the right size. 0-2 actually fits a 3T size child. Material very thin. Good for a practice leotard but probably wouldn't want for a show.
Bought two of theses for my 3-year old granddaughters dance class. They appear to be a good weight cotton spandex type of material. Good color. Quality you would expect for something much more expensive. Very pleased. unsure of fit yet because they are gifts.
All young girls love to dance. Even some boys do. I'm so glad Danskin makes these leotards small enough for young dancers. And the price is fantastic!! I'm happy Walmart carries such an array of children's clothes.
This is small enough that my 2yr old granddaughter can wear it to gymnastics (she's a 2T and I bought the XXS). It doesn't ride up her bottom and stays on her shoulders.
The item does tend to run a little small, my daughter is a size 6 and I had to buy a 7/8. This is really good quality for the price! In the Ballet store they wanted 30.00 for the same thing!
I love this leotard. The quality is great.
For some reason I could not find a size medium in the stores. Four stores later I gave up and went online. I wish I would've done it sooner because it was fast shipping and much easier than driving around all the stores. This is the same leotard you would get in the stores so you can check out the quality for yourself but overall, just what my daughter needed. For some reason the leotard does have a very wide neck which stretches out easily but other than that it's very cute
We purchased both this one (in pink) and the sleeveless version as well. Our daughter prefers the sleeveless one as it gives more movement, but that's a subjective view. Both versions wash and wear well. They do run a little large but that's OK - the fabric has some stretch/movement.
This leotard was a great value for the money. However, it is very thin material and the one received ran big. I will be returning it to the store because it ran big and will probably look for one that has a little bit thicker material. Overall for the money, it is a great value just keep in mind the material is VERY thin.

We show that a nanopore in a silicon membrane connected to a voltage source can be used as an electrically tunable ion filter. By applying a voltage between the heavily doped semiconductor and the electrolyte, it is possible to invert the ion population inside the nanopore and vary the conductance for both cations and anions in order to achieve selective conduction of ions even in the presence of significant surface charges in the membrane. Our model based on the solution of the Poisson equation and linear transport theory indicates that in narrow nanopores substantial gain can be achieved by controlling electrically the width of the charge double layer.
