So you said no. And I was actually relieved. My friend didn't believe me; they thought I was totally in love with you. I really didn't care. My one friend believed me though. I said I didn't care and she said "Good," sounding relieved.
But I still think you're beautiful. And it's like I'm trying to avoid you, but you're always there.
I can't think about you too much right now, though.
Because Pokemon Black and White are coming out in 8 days and I am so excited. And I ordered a new GBA SP charger off Ebay yesterday, so I'll be getting that soon. I want to finish playing Blue, but it sucks because my brother's GBA doesn't have a back so you just have to hope the batteries don't shift around too much while you play.

All-electric KBB series saves time and energy
Kautex Maschinenbau sets new standards in consumer packaging.
Our new series of machines offers packaging manufacturers a particularly wide range of packaging options while increasing their efficiency. The all-electric KBB machines are set up to handle mono or multi-layer production and container volumes of between 50 and 5,000 ml. They also offer maximum flexibility in choice of cavities.
Time-saving for greater efficiency
Greater efficiency can be achieved by reducing the quantities being transported and thanks to a perfectly proportioned drive system. By accelerating the feed movement and optimizing the motion profiles of all moving axles, the number of cycles per hour can be increased, resulting in higher output. The dry cycle time of the KBB60D with stroke of 770 mm is just 2.3 seconds. A brand new extrusion tube die for significantly faster color changes and an automatic lubrication system in the blow molding machine ensure easy maintenance and combine to reduce downtime.
Compact design, low energy
The KBB machines only have one output point and can be easily integrated into existing production. Items are combined and tested for tightness directly in the machine. This reduces space requirements by up to 25 percent. The design is rounded off with sliding doors for easy access.
The Kautex designers have also taken great strides on the environmental front. Energy consumption is much lower with electric blow molding machinery than with hydraulic solutions, but the new lightweight closing device means that it can now be reduced still further. Combined with the integrated recovery of braking energy and an effective temperature control solution for the extruder, the new KBB machines now use up to 42 percent less energy, depending on application.

text: Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How it is Revolutionizing our World by George Gilder English | 2014 | ISBN: 1621570274 | 400 pages | PDF | 6 MB Ronald Reagan's most-quoted living author-George Gilder-is back with an all-new paradigm-shifting theory of capitalism that will upturn conventional wisdom, just when our economy desperately needs a new direction. America's struggling economy needs a better philosophy than the college student's lament: "I can't be out of money, I still have checks in my checkbook!" We've tried a government spending spree, and we've learned it doesn't work. Now is the time to rededicate our country to the pursuit of free market capitalism, before we're buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But how do we navigate between government spending that's too big to sustain and financial institutions that are "too big to fail?" In Knowledge and Power, George Gilder proposes a bold new theory on how capitalism produces wealth and how our economy can regain its vitality and its growth. Gilder breaks away from the supply-side model of economics to present a new economic paradigm: the epic conflict between the knowledge of entrepreneurs on one side, and the blunt power of government on the other. The knowledge of entrepreneurs, and their freedom to share and use that knowledge, are the sparks that light up the economy and set its gears in motion. The power of government to regulate, stifle, manipulate, subsidize or suppress knowledge and ideas is the inertia that slows those gears down, or keeps them from turning at all. One of the twentieth century's defining economic minds has returned with a new philosophy to carry us into the twenty-first. Knowledge and Power is a must-read for fiscal conservatives, business owners, CEOs, investors, and anyone interested in propelling America's economy to future success.

Best game of the generation
What is the best game of this generation? Starting at the 360s lanch. The biggest contenders are obviously Bioshock,Portal, and Uncharted 2. A couple months ago I would have said Unvharted 2 but know I' m on my 4th playthrough of inFAMOUS 2 so tahts my favorite game of the gen.m Whats yours?
Re: Best game of the generation
I loved Uncharted 1 the most for the twist and biggest improvement on console experience from the previous gen. Uncharted 2 and 3 were epic too.
Deus Ex:HR was amazing too.
Re: Best game of the generation
Re: Best game of the generation
No games blew me away the same way games on the PS2 did. I think that's because not everything at that point was trying to be gritty and relistic. Games like Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper will always go down as "Freakin' Sweet" games because they were made in a time where being fun was the #1 goal of devs. Now everything is just trying too hard to be hard eg. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Killzone, etc etc
Re: Best game of the generation
Uncharted 2, inFamous 2, and Bioshock are all great choices.
From a design standpoint, I'd pick Uncharted 2. It is the game to which all future linear action games should be compared to.
If we're talking about the narrative, the two that stuck with me the most were inFamous 2 and Red Dead Redemption. Good writing, solid characters, a lot of fun to play and they were both capable of attaching a good message without beating us over the head with it. (See: Far Cry 3, Mass Effect 3)


text: ANALYSIS PHASE OF BUSINESS SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION System Analysis – is a term that describes the early phases of systems development. problem solving technique that decomposes a system into its component pieces for the purpose of studying how well those component parts work & interact to accomplish their purposes. System analysis approaches There are 4 system analysis approaches; Model driven analysis approach Accelerated analysis approach Requirements discovery methods Business process redesign methods Model Driven Analysis Approaches Emphasizes the drawing of pictorial system models to document & validate both existing & proposed system. The system model becomes the blueprint for designing & constructing an improved system. Example of software : VISIO Structures Analysis Was one of the first formal approach for system analysis of business information system. Used to either analyze an existing system, define business requirements for new system or both. Model Driven Analysis Approaches Information Engineering Model driven & data centered approach to plan, analyze & design information systems. Consists of pictures that illustrate & synchronize the system's data & processes. Said to be data-centered paradigm because it emphasizes the study & requirement analysis of data requirements before those of the process & interface requirements. This is based on the belief that data is a corporate resources that should be planned & managed. Model Driven Analysis Approaches Object Oriented Analysis Is a technique that integrates data & process concerns into constructs called objects. Consists of pictures that illustrates the system's objects from various perspectives such as structure & behaviour. Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides a graphical syntax for an entire series of object models. Accelerated Analysis Approaches Emphasize the construction of prototypes by rapidly identifying business & user requirements for a new system. Emphasizes the interface building blocks in the information system framework by constructing sample forms & reports. Prototype – a small scale, incomplete but working sample of desired system. Accelerated Analysis Approaches Discovery Prototyping Uses rapid development technology to help users discover their business requirements by having them reach to quickand- dirty implementation of those requirements. Rapid Architecture Analysis An accelerated analysis approach that also builds a system models. Attempts to derive system models from existing systems or discovery prototype. It is made possible by reverse engineering technology that is included in many tools such as CASE & programming languages. Accelerated Analysis Approaches Reverse engineering technology reads the program code for an existing database, application program, user interface & automatically generates the equivalent system model. The resulting system model can be further edited by system analyst & users to provide a blueprint for a new & improved system. Requirement Discovery Methods Includes those techniques to be used by system analyst to identify or extract system problems & solution requirements from the user community. Fact-finding Techniques An essential skill for all system analysts. Classical set of techniques used to collect information about system problems, opportunities, solution requirements & priorities. Accelerated Analysis Approaches Fact finding techniques; Sampling of existing documentation, reports, forms, memos Research of relevant literature, site visits Observation on the current system & work environment Questionnaires & surveys of the management & users Interviews of the appropriate managers, users & technical staffs. Business Process Redesign Methods Business process redesign – the application of system analysis methods to the goal of dramatically changing & improving the fundamental business processes of an organization, independent of information technology. Suitable for a study of existing business processes to identify problems & inefficiencies that is addressed in requirements for new / improved system. The Preliminary Investigation Phase Investigation is done by system analyst to study the systems request & recommend specific action. The analyst gathers fact about the problem / opportunity, project scope & constraints, project benefits & estimated development time & cost. The end product of the investigation is a report to the management. Steps in the Preliminary Investigation Step 1: Understand the problem / opportunity Step 2: Define project scope & constraints Step 3: Performs fact-finding Step 4: Determine feasibility Step 5: Estimate development time & cost Step 6: Present result/recommendation to management Steps in the Preliminary Investigation Step 1: Understand the problem / opportunity System analyst might need to develop a business profile. Analyst will need to understand & know how the modifications will affect the business operation or system even when it's a small alteration. Step 2: Define the project scope & constraints Means to define boundaries/extent of the project being as specific as possible. Projects that expands gradually without specific authorization is called = project creep Steps in the Preliminary Investigation Types of constraints ; present, future, internal, external, mandatory & desirable. Step3: Perform fact-finding Analyst will perform this step using various techniques such as; Analyze organization charts – to understand how departments functions & identify the individual involved Conduct interview – interviewing the identified individual. Review current documentation – analyst should check whether the documentation received is accurate & complete Observe operation – use statistic technique to check the frequency Carry out a user survey – especially when it involves larger group. Steps in the Preliminary Investigation Step4 : Determine feasibility To determine economic feasibility. Step5 : Estimate time & cost To determine cost & time the following need to be addressed: What information needed & how to gather & analyze? Source of information to use & the constraints to use it? How many will be interviewed & how much time & cost for it. How much cost to alayze the information gathered & prepare final report. Steps in the Preliminary Investigation Step6 : present results & recommendations to management If minor problem then recommendation is given without further analysis, but if the problem is big then further analysis is needed (development phase) Problem Analysis Phase Provides the analyst a better understanding of the problems, opportunities & directives that triggered the project. The goal of this phase is to study & understand the problem domain well enough to analyze its problems, opportunities & constraints. Steps in Problem Analysis Phase Analyst must follow a series of steps: Step 1 – study the problem domain Step2 – analyze problems & opportunities Step3 – analyze business process Step4 – establish system improvement objectives Step 5- update the project plan Step 6 – present findings & recommendations to management Steps in Problem Analysis Phase Step 1 – study the problem domain Attempts to learn about the current system Step2 – analyze problems & opportunities To perform this step, project team must work with system owners & system users Cause & effect analysis is a technique in which problems are studied to determine their causes & effects. Steps in Problem Analysis Phase Step3 – analyze business process Analyze business needs – to clearly define the business & system requirements. Define business solution – IT experts define in the form of programs 7 databases, business people define in procedures to fulfill business mission. Test business solution – evaluating whether the solution fulfills the business need. Step4 – establish system improvement objectives Any improvement to the system will be measured & constraints identified. Criteria for success measured in term of objectives Steps in Problem Analysis Phase Step 5 – update the project plan This task is triggered by completion of the system improvement objectives. Initial project plan = input, updated project plan = output Step 6 – present findings / recommendations This task is triggered by the completion of the updated project plan. Requirements Analysis Phase Defines the business requirements for a new system. Final deliverables & milestones is to produce a business requirements statement that will fulfill the system improvement objectives. Steps in Requirements Analysis Phase Steps are as follows: Step 1 – define requirements Step2 – analyze functional requirements Step3 – trace & complete requirements Step4 – prioritize requirements Step5 – update the project plan Step6 – outgoing requirement management Steps in Requirements Analysis Phase Step1 : define requirements A functional requirement – a description of activities & services a system must provide (input, output, stored data & processes) Non functional requirement – description of other features, characteristics & constraints that define a satisfactory system (performance, budgets, cost) Step2 : Analyze functional requirements System modeling – graphical representation of concept or process that system developers can analyze, test & modify Prototyping – creation of early working version of the information system or its components. Steps in Requirements Analysis Phase Step3 – Trace & complete requirements Tracing each system model / prototype back to the functional requirement to ensure all functional requirements are fulfilled. Step4 – prioritize requirements Timeboxing – technique that delivers information system's functionality & requirements through versioning. Steps in Requirements Analysis Phase Step5 : update the project plan The completed business requirements statement completes the task, as well as the requirement analysis phase. Step6 : ongoing requirement management Requirement management defines a process for everyone involved in the system development that specifies how changes are to be requested & documented, how to be logged & tracked, etc Decision Analysis Phase Identifies candidate solutions, analyses those candidate solutions & recommends a target system that will be designed, constructed & implemented. Steps in Decision Analysis Phase Steps are as follows ; Step1 – identify candidate solutions Step2 – analyze candidate solutions Step3 – compare candidate solutions Step4 – update the project plan Step5 – recommend a system solution Steps in Decision Analysis Phase Step 1: identify candidate solution System owners & users may not be directly involved in the task, but they may contribute ideas & opinions that start the task. Step2: analyze candidate solution Each candidate solution must be analyzed for feasibility. 4 criteria: Technical feasibility Operational feasibility Economic feasibility Schedule feasibility Steps in Decision Analysis Phase Step3 : Compare candidate solution The deliverables of this task is the solutions to be recommended. If more than one solution is recommended, priorities should be established. Step4 : update the project plan System analyst are adjusting scope accordingly, so based on the solution recommended, analyst should reevaluate project scope & update project plan accordingly Steps in Decision Analysis Phase Step6 : Recommend a solution This task is triggered by the completion of the updated project plan.

The British Shops and Stores Association said an increasing number of high street shops - such as fishmongers, florists and independent clothes outlets - are vanishing.
The association's report found that 42 per cent of shoppers believe their local high street has declined slowly over the last 10 years, particularly in quality.
More than 300 of its 4,500 members - small, independent shops - have had to close in the last 12 months.
Chief executive John Dean blamed the Government, big retailers and local planning regulators for the high street's decline.
He said: "We've got to do something about it before it's too late."Reuse content

Virginia Woolf Quotes
Virginia Woolf
The middlebrow is the man, or woman, of middlebred intelligence who ambles and saunters now on this side of the hedge, now on that, in pursuit of no single object, neither art itself nor life itself, but both mixed indistinguishably, and rather nastily, with money, fame, power, or prestige.
Virginia Woolf
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Virginia Woolf
When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Virginia Woolf

Disclaimer: Are Gaara and Naruto cuddling in their hokage robes in their newly unified Sunkonohagaukure village? Didn't think so... I must not own Naruto then.
Author Note: Told you it wasn't dead!
Naruto groaned loudly in his first period Geometry class. He hadn't wanted winter break to end or for Gaara to go back to his dad's. It always sucked when he and Gaara had to part company. Gaara had stayed for as long as he possibly could, even so, they hadn't been able to say good-bye without at least a dozen more lingering hugs.
Iruka had pleasantly surprised the two by picking Gaara up and brining him to their house early in the morning so they could go to school together. Unfortunately, all the progress they seemed to have made over break had vanished the moment Gaara went back to his father's house.
During the break Gaara had had a gentle smile or a pleasantly content look on his face. Now the angry glare and hardened mask had returned even while around Naruto's family. He had let his guard down while he had felt safe, but that feeling of security had apparently not carried over into the New Year.
Naruto heaved a second sigh in the past two minutes. He hoped Gaara and he still had history and chemistry class together. He didn't think he could stand six hours surrounded by these morons with no salvation. Not that he could really talk, he was just as bad as his classmates were when it came to attentiveness in class, but he wasn't anorexic, stoned out of his brain, or hopelessly emo.
He vacated the classroom as soon as he was allowed. The next class on his schedule was a literary class that he was pretty excited about. He actually liked books; even all those terrible English journals he was forced to do for class were fairly interesting.
Room 233 was cozy and smelled faintly like tea and coffee. A row of musty dictionaries filled a small bookcase in the corner of the room and several large stacks of required class reading material were stacked beneath the windows.
Shikamaru had plopped himself in the chair closest to the door, as was his habit, because he as too lazy to walk any farther into the room then he had to.
"Nyaaa! Shika! I didn't know you had this class too!" Naruto glomped his friend as soon as he walked through the door.
"Ooof. Good morning, Naruto, missed you too" Shika hadn't budged and his voice was completely monotone but he had this smirk on his face that showed his affection well enough.
Across the room a certain moody redhead gave a huff in amusement as he watched his boyfriend attack their mutual friend with the warmest smile he had seen all day. He rose from his seat in the far back corner of the room and moved to a spot nearer to the door stating coolly as he slid into his seat "Should I be feeling jealous, Naruto?" It was such a tiny teasing guilt trip but he knew Naruto would spazz.
"Eh? GAARA!" the bewhiskered blonde detached himself from Shikamaru and flew over to Gaara's chair and enveloped the red head into another glomp. As what Gaara said sank in he exclaimed "Oh no Gaara! I was just happy to see Shikamaru in this class. Besides Shikamaru's a great friend but you're the only one for me, Gaa-chan, don't you worry." He nuzzled Gaara's hair slightly, a bit too happy to have Gaara in class with him, but taking full advantage of the opportunity to bask in the presence of his best friend/ boyfriend "I didn't even know you had this class this semester!"
Gaara shrugged "Neither did I they just put this class in my schedule as filler. I was planning on changing it, but now I guess I won't."
Naruto beamed and plopped down in the desk in front of Gaara and reached forward to play with the hem of Gaara's sleeve. "This is great! My two best friends in the best class I've got all semester!" he said as he twirled a loose thread over Gaara's wrist. Shikamaru huffed his agreement and Gaara smirked slightly, but as more kids filed in Gaara made a gruff noise that meant he wanted Naruto let go of him. Naruto smirked and retracted his hand, breaking contact with Gaara. He gave one more sweet smile to his red head then faced forward. Gaara opened his bag and pulled out his planner and a notebook incase he had to write anything down when class started. He normally despised sitting so close to the teacher unless there was a seating chart, but for Naru he would put up with it.
He felt his glare harden as he thought back to winter break. Winter break had been heaven, almost constant reassuring contact with his blonde ball of sunshine. Now he couldn't focus on anything. He was constantly on guard and hyper aware of what was going on around him, senses tingling as if he were under constant threat; the way it had been before he had spent break with Naruto. When he was with him he felt as if he were miles away from his father or anyone else's scrutiny; he was safe and warm and, more importantly, he was happy. He gave wistful sort of snort that to anyone else sounded like he was annoyed at something.
As he thought, a piece of paper had been slipped on to his desk. It was folded in the unnecessarily complicated way that girls fold their notes in class, but the messy scrawling chicken scratch proved that it was from the boy in front of him.
So…wanna go on a date?
Gaara blinked and stared at it for a long moment half wondering who wrote it. Surely his shy little Naru-chan would have beat around the bush for at least ten minutes before asking him so openly to go on a date. But there were chibis of Naruto and himself holding hands and brilliantly happy faces. He felt his lips quirk at the sight, definitely Naru-chan, juvenile, but cute.
Of course, Naru, where do you want to go?
He folded the note into a simple square and slipped it back to the blonde before starting on his lecture notes again. He made sure to write down the class supply list because he was sure Naruto wasn't paying enough attention to remember. Sooner than later the note was back, still in its simple square.
I don't care. Anywhere I can kiss you.
Such confidence! He wouldn't be so bold in a normal conversation. He would be an adorable, mumbling blushing fool. Gaara almost mourned the chance to see the blonde in such a vulnerable but honest state. Pity. He loved watching his Naru-chan squirm.
I can kiss you at home as much as you want. We don't have to go out.
The note was back even quicker than the first time.
But I want to go out and kiss you!
Gaara inwardly smiled. He'd known that, but he just wanted to make Naruto say it again.
Alright then. You, me, Ichiraku's, some ice cream and a movie.
His internal smile reached his face as he saw Naruto giddily bounce in his chair as he read the note. He immediately began thinking of a movie that was bad enough that there would be no one in the theater to bother him or his blonde.
Gaara received the note back one more time.
YAY! I want to see Happily Never After! If we go right afterschool there won't be anyone in there.
Naruto turned around half way in his seat to smile and to receive and acknowledgement about their date. Gaara nodded and leaned back in his seat. While he admired Naruto's happy smile, he thought that perhaps being back in school wouldn't be as terrible as he thought.
Author Note: Feel free to kick my sorry ass. I started writing this second semester my sophomore year. In a month I will be starting my Senior year. I updated ONCE in Junior year. Shoot me. Maim me. Do what you will to me. I deserve it. I'm soooo sorry! So here are some of things that went on the time I wasn't updating. Four anime conventions, 2 AP classes, 2 AP tests, 2 College English Classes, 1 Honors English Highschool class. A friend got arrested, a relative died, another relative died, another friend got arrested, two cosplay costumes were made, I ran an anime club, joined the Risembool Rangers, met Vic Mignogna, met Scott McNeil, met Johnny Young Bosch, met Greg Ayres, discovered Demyx time, and another realtive died (seriously at this point my family puts the 'fun' in 'funeral'.
None of these are excuses but they are some of the reasons I've been very distracted. I also prewrite this long hand and for a good four months I had lost my hard copy and I didn't want to rewrite it because I had liked where I'm going with this so sorry about that. Personally re reading this whole story I find them fairly out of character. I might go back and fix this and I will tell you if I do in case you want to look back. I have the next few chapters already figured out. When I post them and I get to the point I haven't continued on I plan on pming some of my loyal readers and asking for their opinion on some finer details. THANK YOU OODLES IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS! YOU ALL GET COOKIES and GAAxNARU PLUSHIES! I'm going to go prepare to die now. runs away
BTW: The go button looks lonely I suggest you click it and keep it company...
