Quickmatchers: my OkC username is Duefiori. I'm not going to activate A-list ever. So, in the remote case you like me, MESSAGE ME, or I won't know who you are and we'll never know how it ended.
I used to have 3000+ questions answered, but I realized that most of them were outdated. Working on it.
This profile is long, or even verbose. If this bugs you, kindly move on.
These are my main data:
- Italian, 1963
- married (with doublematch)
- father of two (boy, 2010, girl, 2011)
- quite overweight
- high school math teacher.
There's more, of course:
- a quite intelligent and nice guy (or so they tell me)
- a bit of a geek
- a happy fellow
- young-minded enough to accept almost anything, old minded enough to be skeptic about most of it.
- reasonably well-traveled, with a handful of good friends from a number of continents.
OkC politics test says I'm a Socialist, which is probably true; even so, I deeply distrust political, sexual and (god forbid) "lifestyle" codewords.
Se volete comunicare in Italiano, fate pure. Ma in Inglese ho più cose carine da consigliarvi. Se NON parlate Inglese, le cose di cui possiamo parlare si riducono di parecchio.
*Meaning, their number varied randomly from zero to six, and I don't know until I look. You know, cats. At this time it's about three.
My two kids occupy 95% of what time I don't spend sleeping or working. I'm officially Old Generation, and I love it. Further reproduction is off-the-table, given the lack of space, hands and money, in this order.
Teaching is my life-job; it defines a big part of what I "am", rather than what I "do". I believe that children are the future etc etc. On the other hand, it's not the most profitable of jobs. Also, I'm currently the only breadwinner because of crisis blah blah. So, money comes (slower) and goes (faster).
We would like to travel a lot more than what we actually can afford. We are limiting ourselves to small-time trips or hosting friends and acquaintances (including you, why not).
- done: Holland, England and Egypt.
- potential favors to cash in: Argentina, Bahrain and the Philippines.
- future whishes: Iceland, Malta, New Zealand, northeast US
- dream vacation: US West Coast road trip. I've been there already on my own, I really want to bring my family there, I have a two-week route already planned, and that will need a LOT of savings.
I have a lot of interest into Cognitive Sciences, and generally speaking in what makes a mind tick. I considered it as a second degree (my first being in Math), but meantime my wife, with her unemployed-spare-time is trying her luck with IT.
- Terry Pratchett's Discworld trivia and quotes
- math, teaching, teaching math
- not getting bored from day to day
- reading, fast and a lot
- humoring and pampering people
- eavesdropping on silly stuff that people says*
- meeting celebrities (for complicated reasons)
- forgiving (but much less good in forgetting).
- handling kids and pets
- Googling
- logical and verbal skills
- gift-making on any budget
- patience
- sexual imagination, from vanilla to outright BDSM
- trivia, about pretty much anything**
- bridge, boardgames and RPGs
- explaining and teaching stuff, at any level of understanding.
I hope like hell that I'm good at parenting; it looks like I'm doing fine so far. Fingers crossed.
*I collected 20 years of blunders from my students, and probably a book or a blog will come out. Stay tuned.
**I have proof of that: in 2003 I won 35.000 € on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Really. And yes, I spent them all already. Manifold.
Usually what comes through is my shape, looks and scruffy exterior, I guess. Or the fact that I talk too much or put my foot in my mouth too often. On the other hand, if you don't go past that, it's unlikely we'll click in any way.
If you DO go past that, the *second* thing they you'll notice is that, no bragging, I really am one of the smartest and nicest guys around. Try me.
There's a third layer, both good and bad but very few get to see it.
- five bookshelves (thank you, Ivar) with about 1,400 books
- 900 DVD titles (not counting multiple-disc stuff)
- 50 boardgames (either silly party games or high-end strategy)
- 10 different RPGs rulesets (including Toon)
- countless (really) kids' toys.
So, this part will be LONG. Be warned. Be very warned.
I have read lots, let's see...
- 0 to 10: Gianni Rodari, Jules Verne, Sid Fleischmann and books about ants.
- 10 to 20: Isaac Asimov, Richard Bach, JRR Tolkien and books about math and logic puzzles.
- 20 to 25: Italo Calvino, Jorge Luis Borges, Hermann Hesse and books about zen philosophy.
- 25 to 35: Terry Pratchett, Daniel Pennac and books about pedagogy and education.
- 35 to present: truth be told, I don't read much these days, mostly re-re-read; I'm busy and I fall asleep after ten lines. I'm quite fascinated by books about how body, mind and society work and interact with each other.
Honorable Mentions go to:
- Edwin Abbot: Flatland
- Douglas Adams: the Hitchhiker's Guide penta-trilogy
- Isaac Asimov: the Foundation original trilogy
- RIchard Bach: Seagull Jonathan Livingston, and Illusions
- Italo Calvino: Invisible Cities
- Lewis Carrol (or, better, Charles Dodgson): his non-Alice math stuff
- Ernest Cline: Ready Player One (a must for any 80s geek)
- John Dickie: Delizia ("Con Gusto" in Italian), a history of food habits in Italy, great book
- Umberto Eco: the Name of the Rose (and the movie wasn't bad)
- Michael Ende: The Neverending Story (2-colors edition!)
- Neil Gaiman: Neverhwere (and Good Omens, but in my bookcase that's with the Pratchetts)
- Douglas R. Hofstadter: Godel Escher Bach
- Roy Lewis: the Evolution Man (little known, but hilarious)
- Miller & Kanazawa Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters is one of my latest passions
- Audrey Niffenegger: The Time Traveler's Wife
- Daniel Pennac: the Malaussene cycle
- Robert Pirsig: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- Rick Riordan: the Percy Jackson / Kane Brothers series
- JK Rowling: the Harry Potter cycle
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery: le Petit Prince
- Orson Scott Card: the Ender/Bean series
- JRR Tolkien: the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings
I am a Terry Pratchett's orphan. RIP, Sir pTerry, and have fun with Douglas Adams and Graham Chapman.
Brag time:
1) On a memorable night I had dinner with Douglas Hofstadter and Umberto Eco.
2) I met Neil Gaiman and Boris Spasski once, and drove them around for one day.
For real. Details on request.
I have a bookshelf of them, with the complete collections of Asterix, Calvin & Hobbes, Lucky Luke, Mafalda, Tintin.
I like most Disney, most Marvel/DC (before they became a cheap-thrill soap-opera), absolutely NOT Japanese stuff, sorry. Wrong generation for that.
My two favorites are Order of the Stick and xkcd, and they also get a small bit of my money on a regular basis. I regularly read Darths and Droids (and loved DM of the Rings), Girls with Slingshots, Questionable Content, Sinfest, The Joys of Tech, WuMo. Oh, and recently Oglaf (NSFW but funny).
Too many to tell. A very-shortlist:
- my long lasting favorite All That Jazz; my most recent favorite The Congress (if you don't like either of them, chances for us to be friends lower a bit)
- most of Tim Burton
- most of Mel Brooks' and Woody Allen's oldies
- Baz Luhrmann "red curtain" trilogy: Strictly Ballroom, Romeo+Juliet, Moulin Rouge
- a choice of musicals: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar, A Chorus Line, Hairspray, Rent
- The Blues Brothers, of course
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show, of course
- most cult movies from the 80s (but they forgot Big Trouble in Little China)
- some selected world-famous Italian movies: Mediterraneo, The Postman, Cinema Paradiso, Life is Beautiful; see below for less world famous
- Disney Classics (most of them, not all)
- any Pixar movie of your choice
- other CGI cartoons: Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball are all great franchises; Ice Age and Madagascar are, frankly, not
- The Lion King (the movie and the stage play)
- The Producers (BOTH movies and the stage play)
- Back to the Future and Indiana Jones collections
- The Lord of the Rings (that still only counts as one!). And concerning The Hobbit... well, go check The Tolkien Edit
- most Marvel Comics movies, and eager for a total reunion of the legal rights
- not most DC Comics movies, apart from the recent Batman trilogy, which rocks
- Star Wars (old trilogy only - or maybe The Machete Order). I'm suspending judgement over Trilogy Three until it's done.
- The Matrix (too bad they never made any sequels)
- Wacky movies with not much of a plot but lots of memorable moments: Dogma, Groundhog Day, Interstate 60, Pleasantville, The Congress...
If you notice a trend, yes, I go for reality-escapist genres, a lot. I'm very well aware of what's bad in the world. I don't need to spend money and time in watching it on purpose, thank you.
We are responsible downloaders: we test and, if we like, we buy. But our backlog of downloaded-yet-unwatched movies has reached critical status.
I go to theater shows way less than I used to (mostly because of children, rather than money). When I go, I like:
- stand-up comedians: sadly, not many seen on stage, but I have plenty of recordings by Russell Peters, James CK, Robin Williams and all the great people from the 70s and 80s
- live musicals: I loved the live versions of Jesus Christ Superstar, The Rocky Horror Show, The Lion King, The Producers
- live performances: I remember an awesome exhibition of Japanese acrobatic cooks
As a rule, I don't care for Italian TV. Luckily I have friends, cable and internet, and I watch, buy or download a lot of stuff from the UK and US, such as:
- Blackadder
- Crank Yankers
- The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy (UK TV series)
- Marvel and DC superhero series (Agents of SHIELD, Arrow, Daredevil, The Flash...)
- Monty Python's Flying Circus
- The Muppet Show (high hopes for the next incarnation)
- Mythbusters
- Top Gear (yes, Clarkson sometimes is a douche; and?)
- Ninja Warriors (go Makoto Nagano!)
- Saturday Night Live (specially the 70s and the 90s)
- Stepehen Fry's QI (a must for any trivia lover)
- The Big Bang Theory (I basically am Leonard)
- The Newsroom
- Whose Line is it Anyway.* (both UK and US versions).
I love documentaries of all sorts; history and astronomy and nature are favorite. Also, if you consider it TV, any TED Talks.
On the contrary, I HATE wannabe documentaries, the likes of "Hey, look at what I'm eating" or "Hey, look at what I'm selling" or "Hey, look, a car". Sadly, this is two-thirds of Discovery, NatGeo or History Channel at this time.
I loathe and despise reality TV; I can tolerate competitive shows if they actually can make, cook or sew actual stuff, or anything with Tim Gunn in it. Our absolute favorite is Junior Masterchef Australia (Australia, yes; I can explain, if asked).
For parental reasons I'm frequantly stuck on junior channels. You know the drill: Handy Manny, Curious George, Jack and the Pirates, Peppa Pig, Dora the Explorer, Paw Patrol. Some of them are not actually bad, considering.
See above in "Movies" about our backlog of yet-untouched TV stuff.
* I consider Colin Mochrie one of the funniest men alive. I would have had his babies. On the other hand, I also adore Russell Peters but I'd never marry him.
Weak spot, I'm really not that deep into music per se. In spite of the efforts of good friends to keep me up-to-date, my excitement for music has somewhat expired in my late twenties. Recently I reorganized my iTunes and realized it was well over the ten thousand pieces, but mostly I want a playlist to play as a random background, or "driving soundtrack" as I call it. I tend to go for classic rock, oldies, hummable pop stuff, "weird chicks with hot voices" (Tori Amos, Sinead O'Connor, Alanis, Regina Spektor, you get the idea), some interesting ethnic or classical or plain weird.
Half of my list is Italian songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s (and some from the 30s-to-50s too): if you are Italian you know what I mean, if you aren't you don't and likely won't get it.
E) FOOD. Yes, please.
Cooking, picking, buying, eating and sharing food is a true sociable and private joy. Any situation or person or country where food is just fuel, is just not me.
I tend to drink much, but not much alcohol, and I'm insanely fond of water (gas, please) and juices.
I'm a bit suspicious about any food self-limitation (unless there are medical reasons, like allergies). Nevertheless, any jew, muslim, hindu, vegetarian, vegan or anything else is safe around us.
Please, if I'll visit you, DON'T bring me to Italian places: I want to eat YOUR stuff. And if YOU will visit us, you will learn the hard way that there's no such thing as an "Italian" cuisine.
Amici Miei, Don Camillo, quasi tutto Nichetti (specialmente Stefano Quantestorie), Radiofreccia.
Confesso "Tutti gli uomini del deficiente", e sì, è un film cretino
Mi piaceva molto Stefano Benni (la produzione recente molto meno). Don Camillo di Guareschi. Cent'Anni di Roncofritto di Paolo Cevoli (provatelo!)
Altai&Johnson, Lupo Alberto, Sturmtruppen, Nick Carter, Cattivik e altri Italiani "d'epoca". E un sacco di Jacovitti e di Cavazzano.
Trovo che, a proposito di musica italiana anni 70, uno dei migliori dischi di sempre sia il concerto-tributo Faber: ci sono tutti i miei favoriti di sempre (tranne forse Dalla e Guccini) e il concerto è proprio molto bello.
E poi Enzo Jannacci e Bruno Lauzi.
A parte le cose citate sopra, mi piace molto il teatro satirico/cabaret italiano. Ho in particolare una venerazione assoluta per Lella Costa, il teatro di Giorgio Gaber, e soprattutto Marco Paolini (con o senza i Mercanti di Liquore). Con Paolini e i Mercanti ci sono pure uscito a cena (giuro). Piacere nascosto: Aggiungi Un Posto A Tavola.
- Entertaining and/or informative media (reading, movies etc)
- Trading knowledge, intelligence and small bits of cuteness
- Some boredom-filler pastime (e-chat, games, hang-outs)
- Young girls aged 2 to 96
- Activities related to good food
- Humo(u)r of all sorts.
Oh dear, I just listed comics, chitchat, timewasters, chicks, food and laughter. I'm way less "bro" than that.
I didn't put "love" in the need-be: that's because my current love&family life is quite fulfilled. I'm open to enrich it, but it's not a "can't do without". And I can't even CONSIDER HYPOTETICALLY to do without my kids.
In a relationship. Fairness, trust, a small separate space, "anything goes" sex, mutual parenting if needed; number six is, sharing most of the "on my own" items above.
Things of this world (OR) things I could do without, but I feel A LOT better for having. A bottle of gas water in the fridge. My home town's Festivaletteratura. Internet chat. Occasional selected porn (who doesn't). Air conditioners. My half-full 8Tb hard disk, with all my pop-cultural must-have.
Six things I can bloody well do without:
- a smartphone: I own one, didn't change my life from my previous dumbphone;
- drama, intolerance, condescence, better-than-thou-ence; in a word, primadonnas;
- fashion (saving grace for Tim Gunn);
- mainstream TV ("Did you notice how Big Brother sucks this year?" "No.");
- worldwide gossip
- chain-mail bullshit and conspiracies.
How little (as opposed to how much) people reason, as opposed to screaming and parroting.
And sometimes, very rarely, I just cut the crap. There's some kind of poop that I ain't taking from anyone. Screw that, and screw them.
I tend to be a bit sloppy about self-grooming and self-caring. Sorry.
I got type 2 diabetes. I slacked a bit, and then I reckoned it has possible serious consequences, involving my present and future life. And there are two funny faces here asking "What about me?".
I have an EXTREME intolerance to frustration, incoherence and excess of drama. I respect rules, meaning that if I think it's a rule I abide to it, and expect others to do too. I don't worship rules tho: they are put there by someone, for a reason.
I have the utmost respect for diversity, of any kind. I also respect normality, in the strict mathematical, non-judgmental sense. Therefore, this one is a pickle: I have a complete acceptance of any straight, gay, mono, poly, you-name-it relationship; but transgender people make me a bit uneasy. There, I said it. I really can't wrap my mind around this. Which is, of course open to discussion: as it ought to be. But if you want to blame or curse me about that, don't bother. You wouldn't be the first and certainly not the most bitter.
"If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you."
(Terry Pratchett)
I really, really like to meet people, on and off line; so, go ahead. I like to have someone entertaining to chat with, female, for preference, but not strictly. A possible common interest could be trading vacations (we love that). For other options, we'll see.
As a couple, we would like to consider ourselves poly or at least mono-flexible (that's why I checked "mostly monogamous"). But, seriously, who has the time? Our sex life is currently severely crippled by ultra-minors. But I'm happy this way, for now. You may keep trying, tho.
Avoid messaging me if:
- you are seriously into religion and can't stand that I'm not. I'm a live-and-let-live atheist, I respect the need for a (sorry if I'm blunt) imaginary friend, but that's exactly what I think it is;
- you are a beautiful East-european, Southeast-asian, Caribbean or African girl and want to marry me. Nothing against any of these ethnicities, mind you. But, apart from the fact that I'm seriously taken, you will have to apply for your visa like everyone else;
- no, I don't want your hidden bank account treasury either. Try someone else, and best of luck to you.
- you voted or rooted for Trump. I mean, really?

UPPER GWYNEDD Ś Upper Gwynedd police are searching for a man who allegedly committed an armed robbery of a township CVS Pharmacy over the weekend, making off with nearly $900 worth of prescription painkillers.
Police said that shortly before 8 p.m. on July 5, a white male in his 40s and ōa little hunched overö entered the CVS at 795 Sumneytown Pike and ōdemanded all the Oxycontin.ö
The man Ś who was wearing a partial mask (possibly a skeleton design), a dark-gray hooded sweatshirt and white sneakers, as well as clear rubber gloves, some witnesses said Ś was armed with a small folding knife with a 4-inch blade and a light-blue handle, according to police.
The suspect made off with 563 Oxycodone pills worth $891.99, said police, and fled the area in a white minivan Ś possibly a Dodge Voyager Ś heading north on Broad Street.
Anyone with information about the suspect or the incident should call Upper Gwynedd Police at (215) 699-5861.
The incident marks the second time in two weeks an armed suspect has robbed an area pharmacy of painkillers. On June 23, a heavyset man Ś whose description differs from the suspect in the CVS robbery Ś entered a Lansdale Walgreens with a handgun and robbed the store of an unspecified amount of pills. No arrests have yet been made in connection with that robbery.

About this listing
Located in a huge colorful, tropical garden setting the Garden Cottage attracts guests who appreciate its special vibes and peaceful energy. Yoga on the deck, a walk down to the river, watch animals or just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Please look at our 5-star reviews! Pura vida!
The space
Imagine 5500 sqm (1.35 acres) of lush tropical gardens framed by bamboo and palm trees, flowering ginger plants, orchideas and heliconias. Bananas, papaya, lime and starfruit trees among dramatic big rocks scattered in the natural landscape. A highlight and a very unique offer is the maintained jungle path that goes down to the Rio Morete where you may swim, sunbathe or just relax in absolute privacy. The sounds of the rainforest, the river and at night the waves from the beaches closeby. This could be YOUR vacation rental: The Garden Cottage.
Uvita, with its infrastructure that includes banks, supermarkets, health care and restaurants is only 1 mile away by car. Add another mile and you are at one of the finest beaches in the area, the famous Whale's Tail. Plenty of sports and excursion activities can be booked in Uvita. In addition, you will reach the bustling top surf spot Dominical with a 15 min drive.
So you are able to have it all: the tranquility of nature, your private spot on the river to cool off, the sounds and wildlife of the rainforest, as well as an active, but still laid back small town experience and beach life and sports galore. Choose what suits you best each day!
The Garden Cottage is designed to accommodate 2 persons comfortably. On 50 sqm (538 sq ft, incl. deck) you will find everything necessary for a joyous Costa Rican vacation: the open inside features a queen size bed on one side and the kitchen and lounge area on the other. Closet, toilet and shower are separated.
Sliding doors lead to the deck, which is equipped with lounge chairs and a hammock. From here you have a splendid garden, river and rainforest view and may watch toucans, oropendulas, red and green parrots, colourful butterflies and humming birds and even the occasional group of monkeys, who would like to welcome you. Howler monkeys will wake you up in the mornings :D
The Garden Cottage features: wireless internet, air condition, ceiling fan, full kitchen with small appliances (plates, cutlery, pans, basic condiments, stovetop, coffee maker, blender, small fridge), safe deposit box, parking. Included is the supply of linens, towels, toilet paper, hand soap and cleaning tools. You can help us in our own efforts to conserve natural resources by an economical use of water, electricity and chemicals. Also the house is non smoking, but of course you may smoke outside.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the tropical garden and the riverside (weather and seasonal waterflow permitting). The use of the pool at the owner's house is not included in the rental.
Interaction with guests
My guests' privacy and needs are very important to me. Upon check-in we will agree on the best form of interaction and communication, which is different from one guest to another. Since my own house is on the other side of a little creek and palm trees sort of dividing the property, we will be close, but leaving sufficient space for privacy. There will be no loud parties or similar at any time (neither by myself nor by my guests).
Getting around
A rental car is absolutely recommended for your stay at the Garden Cottage (a safe parking space is located next to the house). A 4x4 is not necessary, unless you have scheduled some adventures where you might need it.
1) How far is it from the international airport in San José?
It is a 124 miles / 3,5 hours drive from the international airport in San José to Uvita. We recommend to rent a car and to do the drive during daytime (please consider this when making your reservation, as you might have to spend one night in San Jose). The best route from the airport is to take the new highway 27 direction Caldera and then highway 34 via Jaco, Quepos, Dominical to Uvita.
2) How close is The Garden Cottage to the beaches?
The nearest beach with calm water and therefore good for swimming is Playa Bahia Uvita at the famous Whale's Tail, in a driving distance of 2,5 miles, the nearest surfer beach with big waves is Playa Hermosa, also 2,5 miles. All together you will be close to seven different and stunning beaches here in the Uvita area. All within easy reach with your rental car.
Other things to note
Dog lovers will find our two canines Mike and Pinto charming, social and easygoing. Both are also in charge to guard the property and they do a great job! Garfield, the cat, is sleeping or eating most of the time :)
1. Smoking is allowed outside only. Of course the Garden Cottage is drug-free.
2. Persons other than the guests confirmed thru AirBnB are not permitted on the property.
3. The Garden Cottage is privately owned; the owners are not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness that occur while on the premises or its facilities. The owners are also not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this rental agreement, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises (incl. riverside).
4. Please keep the property clean and all furnishings in good order
6. Pets are not allowed.
7. The Garden Cottage is located in a very private and tranquil area, and we kindly ask our guests to respect - and enjoy - this experience. Of course we do have neighbors, but usually they are very respectful and like to enjoy their peace and quiet as well.
8. Wifi signal strength and connection speed may vary during your stay, due to weather or other conditions.
9. There is a 100 USD cash security deposit due on check in. The deposit shall be refunded upon checkout, provided no deductions are made due to:
a. damage to the property or furnishings;
b. loss of house/safe deposit box/gate keys or
c. dirt or other mess requiring excessive cleaning; or
d. any other cost incurred by homeowner due to guest's stay.
Cancel up to 7 days before your trip and get a 50% refund plus service fees back.
56 Reviews
We have chosen Costa Rica as home a couple of years ago. Our house is on the same premises as The Garden Cottage, on the other side of a little creek. If you enjoy peaceful natural surroundings, tropical plants, the sounds of the jungle, the river and the beaches closeby, you will love The Garden Cottage!

text: I sampled the Elemis products in the spa washroom after a treatment. Loved them. Didnt have time to go back to The spa and check prices. I loved them so much I bought them online when I got home, from time to spa . Com But the shipping and duties to Canada were quite steep. Anyone purchase onboard and care to give an idea of prices? I am looking for cleanser, toner prices. Thanks so much!

Does Canada ever lose a major tournament with Mario Lemieux playing in all of them?

I'm just saying, for a player who had never played in the Olympics, who had a chance to play the next year in the first best-on-best Olympic hockey tournament, with the chance for Canada to win its first gold medal hockey since the 50s... well, it seems like that would be a lot to pass up for a player if he really thought he could play another season.
Maybe it wasn't important to him, maybe he thought Canada would win in a cakewalk, maybe he just wanted to be with his family or had a critical top secret mission to attend to... IDK, I was just curious after thinking about it.
I'm pretty sure there have been many times where professional athletes took a pass on going to the Olympics. In hockey Nikolai Khabibulin comes to mind in 1998 and if I'm not mistaken Sami Kapanen also took a pass in 2006, P Roy in 2002, Miikka Kiprusoff is another. If Mario was an active player in 98 he might have gone but I can't see it having any impact on his decision to retire.

Finding Direction
What she needed most, Vahide realized half an hour later, was a plan.
She knew that after Istanbul would come Sofia, but what then? And the money she had stolen from Henry would only last for so long - what would she do once she had spent it all? Go back to selling her body for spare change?
"No," she said with a firm shake of her head. "Anything but that."
Begging on the street might earn her enough coins for some bread, but it would also leave her terribly exposed to her pursuers. Once Bora realized she was beyond his reach, he would turn to his friends in the General Directorate of Security and the hunt would begin in earnest. It may already have begun, she realized, and a heavy weight settled into the pit of her stomach.
Vahide closed her eyes and rested the back of her head against the seat. Breathing deeply, she forced herself to think rationally. What would they be looking for? A frail little girl, without much money to speak of, whose only employable talent was performed in the wrong part of town, in squalid rooms with men of questionable morals and standards.
"So they will be watching the brothels and pimps," she said. "That won't be an option, even as a last resort. Fine by me."
They would expect her to be on the street, either begging or trying to find acceptance with the resident hobo population. They would never expect her to find a better solution - Bora was always calling her stupid. He'd tell anyone who would listen that she was half-witted on a good day and quarter-witted on a bad.
"So use your smarts, girl. If you have any left."
The fingers of her right hand traced the outline of the wallet hiding in her pocket as she continued to consider her options. But her mind soon returned to her old room, to Henry, to the bloody knife in her hand. Images, splashed with red and darkened by shadows, began flashing across her eyelids. The killing blows played over and over until the scene froze just as the blade entered Henry's chest for the final time.
"Oh, make it stop!" she said, her eyes snapping open. Her queasiness had returned, but underneath it lay something else. Something dark and elusive. It took her several seconds to put a name to the emotion, but once she did she was barely able to whisper it as a question.
The thought was revolting at first, but Vahide refused to turn away from it before understanding came. It was not killing in and of itself that had pleased her, she soon saw. No, it was that Henry had deserved it. And she had delivered the justice he had earned for himself. A simple, pathetic whore had suffered his assault and fought back. She had taken control.
She had taken up a position of power.
It was an entirely foreign concept for Vahide. She had been living under the brutal rule of a tyrant for so long that she had forgotten what it felt like to have authority. It felt good.
"So is that the way forward?" she asked the passing countryside, her hand gripping the hidden wallet. "And what of this game They wish me to play? Could I do it again? What if they are innocent, what then? What will They do with me if I turn them down? They have found me twice already, first at my hiding spot and then again on this train... I don't think I have any choice in this."
"No, I'm afraid you don't," Ege told her as he returned to the car. Vahide's heart attempted to claw its way up her throat and leap from her mouth as he sat down across from her, a covered silver tray in his hands. Flashing her a wide smile he said, "I absolutely insist that you share this meal with me."
"Oh… no, I couldn't -"
"I am quite certain you can! Besides, my mother made this for me and she always makes far too much. I swear she thinks I must aspire to be wider than this train one day!"
He removed the cover and placed it on the seat beside him, releasing a tantalizing fragrance into the confined space. Vahide shook her head but her mouth began watering immediately and her grumbling stomach gave her away. She had not eaten since breakfast and that meal had not remained inside her for long.
"This is very kind of you," she said quietly as she accepted a square plate heaped high with rice, cubed potatoes, and chunks of stewed lamb. "It smells… amazing."
"And it tastes even better, I assure you," Ege said. "So will you be staying in Istanbul very long?"
"I don't know." Vahide brought a forkful of food to her mouth and chewed slowly, stalling for time. It was an effort not to shovel it all in at once. "I have not made any definite plans yet. Everything seems to be happening so fast right now."
"My shift ends when we arrive," Ege said, his gaze going to the window. "I would… like it very much if I could take you to my favorite coffee shop. I would understand if you wish to be rid of me the second we pull into the station, but it seems to me you could use some friendly company right now. I can give you that, at least."
Vahide swallowed her food with great difficulty. When he turned to look at her again, she surveyed the land rushing past the window. All she had to do to be rid of him was say no. Then she would be free to do what she wished, when she wanted to do it. No questions to answer, no lies to remember, on her own once more. No one to look out for her.
Completely alone.
"Yes, I think I would like that."

For SEO title tag is quite important. It is always a torouple also to find an apropriate title tag that looks good for Search Engine as well as for the customer who sees the title tag in the search results and is prompted to click.
We all know that idealy your title should be 50-60 characters long.
and a title should contain a keyword or a phrase with a keyword. Some people say that the name of the company should come last and your main keyword should come first.
The way I write my titles are as follows:
Primary Keyword – Secondary Keyword | Company Name
However I have seen allot of titles that are longer than 60 characters and contain a bunch of keywords.
My question is, is it better to have titles of 50-60 characters or would it be more beneficial to have longer titles with more keywords?
If you had a longer title than 60 characters with a bunch of keywords stuffed in would it improve your rankings or help you rank for more phrases?
The only benefit of sticking to the 50-60 character standard that I see is that it is easier to read and looks nicer in search results.

KineMed, CHDI Ally on Biomarkers of Huntington Disease Progression, Drug Efficacy
CHDI Foundation and KineMed established a collaboration to exploit the latter's tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics platform to analyze the in vivo dynamics of mutant huntingtin protein as a means of assessing Huntington disease progression and measuring the efficacy of therapeutic candidates. The aim is to generate data that will both provide further insights into HD pathophysiology and also a means for determining whether investigational drugs impact on protein production and clearance.
The mutant huntingtin protein responsible for HD exhibits an expanded region of polyglutamine (polyQ) amino acids, and the size of the expansion correlates with disease severity. Through the collaboration with CHDI, KineMed will use its isotopic labeling and dynamic proteomics platform to determine parameters including huntingtin protein half-life and synthesis rate as a function of polyQ length.
"The application of KineMed's technology will provide us with unique insights into central nervous system pathophysiology," comments Seung Kwak, Ph.D., director of target biology at CHDI. "We are excited and hopeful that this collaboration will help define the dynamics of the mutant protein in disease-relevant tissues and ultimately help measure therapeutic efficacy for HD."
KineMed's platform leverages ultrasensitive isotopic tracer technology to reveal the dynamics of causal pathways in disease. The firm is exploiting its technologies both through disease- and biomarker-focused collaborations with pharma and biotech partnerships, and also to develop an internal drug and extensive biomarker pipeline.
The firm's lead therapeutic program is an NIH-partnered apo-A1 mimetic (designated FX-5A), which is in development for the potential treatment/reversal of atherosclerosis and heart disease. In April KineMed was awarded a Rapid Access to Intervention Development grant by NIH to support formulation, manufacturing, and IND-enabling studies with FX-5A. KineMed's internal drug development programs also include noscapine and noscapine analogues for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Roger Goodell's truly a mastermind when it comes to controlling the public conversation around his league and sculpting the media's headlines. Barely 24 hours after some scribes in the NFL working press started to question the motivation behind the since-overturned Bountygate suspensions he delivered in the spring, the commissioner floated the prospect of a 14- or 16-team NFL playoff at the league's owners meetings in Dallas. By Wednesday, the suspensions overturned by Paul Tagliabue vanished from the headlines. Now, we're talking about playoffs. Playoffs. Thank you Jim, Mora. Playoffs. The initial reaction to the news on Wednesday was resistance. Why mess with something that's not broken? Why screw up a perfectly good playoff scenario? Why not just invite the whole league into one 32-team January tournament? Umm, because there's money to be made. More of it. And if the NFL can make more money without sacrificing the overall product of the game, it's going to make it. As much ...

Author has written 2 stories for Harry Potter, and Discworld.
I was formerly a full-time professional writer, but gave it up when I realized that monthly mortgage payments were more than my advances. Since those decades ago, I've meta-morphed into an educator, a marketing manager, a management consultant, and now a full-time financial professional. I've had to utilize communication - often through writing - throughout my various careers!
I've lived and worked in China, Japan, Turkey and the United Kingdom. I have also served my country overseas. Born into a Hispanic (but English-speaking) family, I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and am working on improving my Japanese. I'm a married, 40-year old male, and I currently live in New Orleans. I now own my own financial management company, which means that I work from home and have a lot of time for writing when I'm not performing duties for my clients.
My non-fiction writing has been published in anthologies, newspapers, journals and magazines throughout North America, Asia and Europe. I have edited several encyclopedias in the past 9 years. I am currently working on an original work of historical fiction that I hope to be able to sell to a publisher.
My reading list includes the San Guo Yuanyi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms), the Genji Monogatari (the Tale of Genji), British crimefiction of the 19th and 20th centuries (Christie, Sayers, Marsh, Doyle, Freeman), the Harry Potter universe, the Lemony Snicket universe, the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman, Glen Cook, Jim Butcher, Georges Simenon, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and numerous historical works. My music collection runs from the Clash, Pulp, the Rolling Stones, Hank Williams Jr., Buckwheat Zydeco, Sugarboy Crawford, Leadbelly, Ellis Marsalis and of course my hometown's ambassador to the world, Louis Armstrong.
A few people have asked what my profile name means. It means I'm an oenophile. Look it up.
HP-Color of Magic. HP-Discworld X-over. Completed. Was working on loose ends at Portkey but am no longer active there. A follow-up sketch has been outlined but not written.
Screwtape Letters. HP-Verse. Conpleted. An interesting story about DD.
Stories I'm working on or have sketched but not yet posted ...
HP and the Lurker on the Threshold. HP-Cthulu X-over, very dark. Sketched but not developed owing to HBP and DH. Still has merit but no-one I've seen is interested in Cthulu stories in HP-verse.
HP and the Ninefold Path. Post-HBP. Dumbledore's "contingency plan" trains Harry in the ways of Buddhism and the way of Meifumado. Done mainly in "Lone Wolf and Cub" style.
HP and the Snivelling Worm. HP-Black Adder X-over. Humor and satire.
XXXX- An original (non-fan-fiction) work concerning incidents occuring during the Hebert Hoover presidency. Forthcoming.
I am happy to work with you as a Beta Reader if you are interested. I do think every writer should have and read often "Strunk and White" and "The Associated Press Style Guide." If you don't have copies on your shelf, you might not want me as your Beta as I will probably refer you to them often.

@ Sean
Um... no. It is not a town sim or any kind of sim. If you completely ignore the humor and style going for it, it is at its heart a Dragon Quest (an old JRPG) clone, though it does have a number of innovations modern gamers are likely to overlook, such as the lack of random battles, the rolling HP meter, and the oblique perspective (not that that really affects much, but it was different at the time).

Come on, friends,
To the bear arcades again.
Earthbound will come to the Virtual Console, just be patience. And for the other people who said that it'll never come to the Virtual Console, it only has copyright issues, which it can get rid of easily, but no licensing issues, so it's likely. Beside, it still has an ESRB rating, and despite what they say, we'll likely see it by the end of this generation. If you beileve that Earthbound will still come to the Virtual Console, don't listen to other people with different opinion. The only thing that can make an release unlikely is the removal of the ESRB rating.
EDIT: I do not believe in unicorn and pigs won't fly when Earthbound is released. It's no miracle.

You see Dr. Wen in there? He's explaining to that family that something went wrong, and that patient died. He's gonna tell them what happened, he's gonna say he's sorry - and then he's going back to work. Do you think anybody else in that room's going back to work today? That is why we distance ourselves; that's why we make jokes. We don't do it because it's fun. We do it so we can get by. And... sometimes because it's fun. But mostly it's the getting by thing. In other words, no...

|Championship rings arrive in Boston
|10.04.11 at 4:53 pm ET
The Bruins' Stanley Cup champions rings have arrived here at the Boston Harbor hotel. Here's a poorly taken picture of the rings being brought in.
The Stanley Cup is also here for the event. We had a Michael Ryder sighting outside the hotel, as he and former Bruins Mark Recchi and Shane Hnidy are on hand for the ring ceremony. Check back later for more, as current players will arrive shortly and rings will be shown off following their dinner.
|Tyler Seguin unsure of living arrangement
|at 2:11 pm ET
It isn't Chad Ochocinco declaring he'll live with a fan, but Tyler Seguin said at Tuesday's media day that he's not sure where or with whom he'll live this season. After spending his rookie year on his own, it appears the Bruins have different plans for the now 19-year-old.
That could mean a billet family for Seguin, or it could mean he might move in with another player. One thought that would have seemed to make sense a season ago was Mark Recchi, but the veteran winger said he didn't have a spacious enough place, as he did with Jordan Staal in 2006.
"There wasn't anything suitability for me with someone or with a family, but this year, speaking with management, it's going to be a little different, but nothing is confirmed," Seguin said.
The second-year player has been living with another one of the younger Bruins, and said that the Bruins have been talking to him since before he arrived back in Boston about a new living arrangement. If it is indeed a billet family, Seguin will be in a familiar situation. He lived with a billet family when playing OHL puck in Plymouth, Mich.
"I lived that life when I was 15, 16, 17 I think," he said. "Just the two years there. Billet is always good. It's nice to have someone to talk to, and dinners to have with a family. It makes you feel like you have a family there even though your family is in another country. I'm open to anything."
Check back later for more on Seguin.
|Bruins waive Anton Khudobin
|at 1:35 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced at Tuesday's media day that the team waived goaltender Anton Khudobin on Monday. According to the Boston Globe's Fluto Shinzawa, Khudobin cleared waivers.
With Khudobin headed to Providence, it appears the current roster is the one that fans will see in Thursday night's season-opener. The final shoe to drop will be the signing of veteran forward Chris Clark, who has been in camp on a tryout. Both Clark and Chiarelli said Tuesday that nothing has been finalized.
|Bruins release Lane MacDermid and Max Sauve from camp
|10.02.11 at 12:03 pm ET
The Bruins have made two more cuts, bringing their roster to 25 players after sending forwards Max Sauve and Lane MacDermid to Providence.
The Bruins will hold team-building activities Sunday and Monday at an undisclosed location.
|Steven Kampfer absent as Bruins return to practice
|09.30.11 at 11:41 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins returned to practice Friday at Ristuccia Arean as they began to prepare for their final game of the preseason. Steven Kampfer was not on the ice, as the young defenseman injured his left knee Thursday night and had an MRI scheduled for Friday. With Kampfer out, Shawn Thornton donned a black jersey as a defenseman.
Here's how the lines looked.
Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand – Tyler Seguin– Benoit Pouliot
Rich Peverley – Chris Kelly – Max Sauve
Daniel Paille – Patrice Bergeron – Jordan Caron
Lane MacDermid – Gregory Campbell – Chris Clark
|Steven Kampfer injures left knee, MRI scheduled for Friday
|09.29.11 at 10:26 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer put forth a strong bid to start the season in Boston with his performance Thursday, but it was an injury suffered late in the Bruins' 2-1 loss to the Senators that may have taken him out of the equation.
Kampfer suffered a left knee injury on a hit from Senators defenseman Jared Cowen. B's coach Claude Julien said after the game that Kampfer would have an MRI on Friday, and that he had liked what he saw out of the defenseman prior to the injury. Kampfer entered the game competing with Matt Bartkowski for the seventh defense spot.
"They're both pretty good," Julien said. "Actually, I thought Kampfer was having a real good night and skating and moving the puck."
Kampfer injured his right knee and was on crutches late last season.
|Bruins fall to Senators
|at 9:25 pm ET
David Rundblad beat Tim Thomas on the power play with 4:01 remaining in regulation to give the Senators a 2-1 victory over the Bruins Thursday night.
The Bruins got on the board in the first period thanks to a power play goal from Milan Lucic. David Krejci sent the puck to Nathan Horton in the corner, who sent it in front of the net to Lucic, who slammed it home past Ottawa netminder Craig Anderson.
Daniel Alfredsson scored the equalizer in the third period, breaking up Tim Thomas' shutout bid. Another Senators goal was disallowed when Colin Greening made contact with Thomas on the play.
The B's will wrap up the preseason Saturday night in Bridgeport, Conn., against the Islanders.
Here are a few notes from the game:
— Steven Kampfer was the game's injury casualty, as he fell awkwardly following a hit from Senators defenseman Jared Cowen along the boards. It seemed that Kampfer suffered some sort of lower-body injury, as he remained down on the ice before being helped off by teammates.
Kampfer's regular season was ended by a knee injury in Providence last year.
— Staying on the subject of Kampfer and the seventh defense spot, Kampfer was on a pairing with Zdeno Chara, while Matt Bartkowski played with Adam McQuaid. Kampfer's injury could play a factor in who opens the season in Boston.
— Ottawa had a hard time staying out of the box at points. The B's went 1-for-6 on the power play and have scored power play goals in four straight preseason games.
— McQuaid wore the second 'A' Thursday. Other players to wear it this preseason include Andrew Ference and Gregory Campbell.
— Thomas didn't exactly face many challenges Thursday, as much of the action took place in the Ottawa zone. The Senators were beyond sloppy in the Bruins' end at points, sending passes out of the zone frequently and failing to establish significant pressure. Thomas faced only 16 shots in his previous preseason start against the Islanders. He faced 20 on Thursday.
— Another game means more time for the Brad Marchand–Patrice Bergeron–Rich Peverley line to jell. It appears the B's are set on giving Mark Recchi's old spot to Peverley, who played with the line at points in the postseason last year (most notably Game 7 s. the Lightning). The other obvious candidate for that spot, Tyler Seguin, was among the healthy scratches Thursday. Other healthy scratches included Max Sauve, Lane MacDermid, Shawn Thornton, Johnny Boychuk and Dennis Seidenberg.
— The B's used the first line of Krejci between Horton and Lucic along with Chara and Joe Corvo as the first power-play unit. It was that unit that yielded the Lucic goal, while the second unit consisted of Peverley, Bergeron, Marchand, Bartkowski and Kampfer. At times, Kampfer also saw time with the first unit in place of Corvo.
— Speaking of much of the action, Daniel Paille seemed to be in the middle of everything throughout the night. Playing on a line with Campbell and Chris Clark, as well as on the power play, Paille had a few chances for the B's despite registering just one shot on goal. That shot came on a third-period breakaway that was set up by Clark. He also took two penalties for the B's.

Established in 1987 by designer Hiroyuki Sasaki, Tokyo based innovative fashion label TOMORROWLAND presents its Fall/Winter 2016 women's collection, a collection of fresh, effortless pieces with a modern Japanese sensibility.
In keeping with the brand's signature look of casual elegance, unstructured silhouettes and clean lines shine throughout the collection. Colors are sophisticated, ranging from neutrals and subdued shades, to rich autumnal tones of gray, khaki, navy and pink. Pops of neon bring an unexpected playful element, while plaids and stripes are eye-catching yet wearable. Pieces can be worn alone or easily layered for an easy yet refined look.
Knits are where the brand truly prevails and this season is no different. The collection offers an array of styles from classic chunky hand-knits and refined cashmeres, to standout metallic and color blocked knits. Playful knit pieces, such as hot pants and overalls, showcase the more whimsical side to the brand.
Staying true to TOMORROWLAND's values, the collection uses high quality Japanese and European fabrics throughout, as well as unique fabrics and textures which have been created exclusively for the brand by the skilled craftsmen they collaborate with in Japan and Italy.
Standout items this season include fur-lined capes, faux-suede pleated skirts and elegant wool coats which will take wearers well beyond the season to become perennial wardrobe favorites.

Lawyers in Charlie Sheen fracas lay out strategies
By Matthew Belloni
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - When attorney Marty Singer received a phone message last Friday from Warner Bros. litigator John Spiegel, who said he was calling to discuss Charlie Sheen, Singer thought perhaps Spiegel wanted to talk about a possible settlement of the public standoff that had ground CBS' "Two and a Half Men" to a halt.
After all, two days earlier, Singer had fired off one of his infamous letters demanding that the studio immediately resume production of his client's hit sitcom or risk a multimillion-dollar breach-of-contract lawsuit. So Singer left Spiegel his own message, saying he was ready to chat.
"He never called me back," Singer told The Hollywood Reporter.
Instead, on Monday, Warners' legal team messengered to Singer's office a bombshell 11-page letter abruptly terminating Sheen's services and pre-emptively initiating an arbitration proceeding against him. The star's "dangerously self-destructive behavior" -- including the "disturbing rampage" at the Plaza Hotel in New York last year, the "banging 7-gram rocks" of cocaine and the all-night parties with porn-star "goddesses" that caused him to have "difficulty remembering his lines and hitting his marks" -- rendered Sheen incapable of working on the show, Warners said, and, thereby, in default on his contract.
Studio lawyers also wrote that Sheen could be dropped if executives believed he committed a "felony offense involving moral turpitude," which he had all but admitted to during his bizarre, 24/7 media blitz.
Within minutes of its delivery, the letter had been leaked to the website TMZ, owned by WB parent Time Warner, and Singer promised to file his own lawsuit against Warners and "Men" co-creator Chuck Lorre, whom Sheen claims conspired to shut down the show.
The aggressive move by the studio has set up a legal showdown featuring some of Hollywood's top attorneys, with potentially hundreds of millions of dollars from TV's top comedy on the line. The case will likely play out over weeks or years regardless of whether Warners recasts the show, as sources say it is planning to do.
"This is only the beginning," Singer said, previewing his argument. "You know how many times Charlie has had drug and rehab problems in the past? This is about the hostility between Chuck and Charlie that has gone on for years. This is Chuck conspiring with Warner Bros. (to get rid of him)." Continued...

So it is this week with AMR, the corporate parent of once-fabled American Airlines. It would have been bad enough that the company reported a jaw-dropping first quarter loss of $1 billion because of the travel downtown plaguing the entire industry. But what began as an uplifting tale of management and labor working together to save the imperiled company has quickly degenerated into the latest example of corporate bad faith masquerading as shared sacrifice.
To avert bankruptcy, CEO Don Carty had successfully negotiated a $1.8 billion company-wide savings package with the three unions of the airline, which is based in Texas. What Carty failed to reveal was that the company was continuing both a potentially lavish bonus plan for its six top executives and a trust fund to partially protect the pensions of 45 senior officials in case of bankruptcy. American's secret two-class flight plan only came to light when the company filed a required report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15.
That SEC filing prompted the three unions, which had all ratified the unpopular agreement, to scream that they were misled. Carty, clearly following the standard public-relations script, began offering almost daily apologies. During a news conference Monday, the embattled CEO declared, "We delivered the largest consensual savings in U.S. (corporate) history. And then I made a mistake and, course, it was a big one."
As with so much in Enron-era American corporate life, Carty's admission prompted the head-scratching question, "What could he have been thinking?" Sure, Carty talked in boardroom lingo about how the bonus plan "operated within all standard corporate guidelines to address a real and serious retention problem" for key managers. But how could Carty have sat across the table from union leaders, who had risked their reputations to sell their membership on wage reductions, and failed to mention the secret plan to cushion top executives from the risks of pending bankruptcy?
Rep. Martin Frost, a Texas Democrat who participated in a 12-hour Wednesday meeting between management and labor, said in an interview, "This could be a textbook case, taught in any business school, on how not to do things." During the Thursday morning phone conversation, Frost stressed, "Don Carty is an honorable man. He had good relationships with labor prior to this." But Frost also admitted that he was baffled by Carty's behavior: "I don't know why he did what he did. If you're going to have labor make major concessions to save a company, you damn well better tell them everything."
It all comes back to what might be called the American Way. In recent decades, the nation's corporate leadership has lost any sense of what constitutes fair play. At some companies, workers are seemingly viewed as interchangeable parts that can be jettisoned at the slightest hint of a profit squeeze. But corporate executives apparently regard themselves as a mandarin class who are entitled to all the benefits of the free market with none of the downside risks. The question is, when do these glaring inequities emerge as a full-fledged political issue?
The controversies swirling around corporate governance have faded with last year's scandals. But there are hints that the American Airlines debacle may begin to spark a populist backlash. "It's going to revive this stuff, since now everyone can turn their eyes from Baghdad," says Bob Borosage, the co-director of the progressive advocacy group, the Campaign for America's Future. He adds, referring to corporate leaders, "These guys are beyond control and beyond shame. They could get away with this stuff when the economy was good. But now they still talk as if their pay and benefits were ordained by God."
But, make no mistake, the chorus of complaint is not limited to the left wing of the Democratic Party. The latest issue of Fortune magazine features a pig dressed in a business suit on its cover with the headline, "Oink! CEO Pay Is Still Out of Control." A Fortune analysis of 2002 pay and benefits packages at 100 giant corporations found that the median compensation of a middle-of-the-pack CEO rose 14% to $13.2 million a year. As the magazine archly notes in trotting out a leading stock-market gauge, "This in a year when the total return of the S&P 500 was down 22.1%."
What does it say when a leading business magazine bluntly depicts CEOs as pigs? The answer is probably not more legislation, since every well-intentioned congressional effort to rein in corporate pay packages has failed abysmally. Fortune calls it "the Law of Unintended Compensation, which holds that any attempt to reduce compensation has the perverse result of increasing it." It is difficult to envision a remedy at a time when the nation's corporate leadership seems blithely immune to shame.
But the anger festers. Whatever the future of American Airlines, pilots, flight attendants and ground mechanics are not likely to again place their faith in the company's management. This pattern of mistrust is repeated in company after company as years of loyalty are rewarded with layoff notices and rejiggered pension plans.
Ultimately, the strength of the economy will be imperiled by the ugly mood of suspicion in the workplace.
For democracy involves more than political parties and voting. There is also an ethos of equality that undergirds a free society. Time and again, the excesses of 21st-century-style buccaneer capitalism have jeopardized these fragile bonds of shared fate.
No, American Airlines is not the worst offender by far. But sooner or later, this type of piggish corporate behavior will trigger a political movement ready to carve up the bacon.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ConcurTaskTrees (CTT)[1] is a notation for task model specifications useful to support design of interactive applications specifically tailored for user interface model-based design.
The main features of ConcurTaskTrees are:
- Hierarchical structure
- Graphical syntax
- Concurrent notation
In Human-Computer Interaction, in the field of task analysis, task models indicate the logical activities that an application should support to reach users' goals.
ConcurTaskTrees has been mapped into Unified Modeling Language.[2]
Tool Support[edit]
The editing and analysis of task models is supported by the ConcurTaskTrees Environment (CTTE).[3] The executable code is publicly available and free to download.

Rosalita:A propositionMature
"Of course I'll be your maid of honour." I felt a tear run down my cheek and brushed it away.
"Oh Rosa don't cry!" Annie came round the table and hugged me.
"Well Liliana's asleep...Um, Annie?" Jake had come out of the bedroom. He was glaring at me slightly.
"Yes, I will be your maid of honour Annie." I say, and stand up, annoyed at the look he's giving me. "I'll see you later." I walk out and get in the car.
I don't know where I'm driving, I'm just annoyed. How dare Jake, a man I've only just met give me that look. Will I never be able to even hug Annie again? I stop and look out. I'm at Kate's house. I get out and knock on the door. She opens the door.
"Rosa, what's the matter?"
"Annie is engaged to a man she met three days ago, and he hates me. He won't even let me hug her."
"Oh bless you, come in." She ushers me in to her hall and takes off my jacket. "Oh, were you going out?"
"I was going to, until he glared at me for hugging my best friend."
"Oh come here." She hugs me and I just stand there, clutching her to me. "Let's get you in the warmth." She takes me to the living room. I look around.
"You have a nice house." I mumble.
"Thanks. Here drink this." She passes me a cup. Hot chocolate.
"No problem." She sits next to me and puts her arm around me. I turn in to her shoulder and cry for a good ten minutes. Then when I'm finished she strokes my hair. "See, it's not that bad. You'll always be her friend."
"I know. I'm just being stupid."
"Yes you are." I punch her lightly.
"Well, now you owe me."
"Alright, what do you want?"
"Help with what?"
"My experiment?"
"What are you, some sort of crazy scientist?"
"No. My experiment is to see whether jealousy can sometimes lead people to extrodinary things."
"Ok, I don't think I like where this is going." I smile though, so she can see I'm joking.
"Well, if we got someone to pretend they were going out with you, then I can judge whether Annie is jealous or not."
"Oh god not you too. Last time we broke up some of my friends tried that one. It made her run away."
"Well, now she's got a fiancee."
"alright, just because I know she won't care we'll do it. Who's the girl?"
"Well, anyone of your friends."
"Nope, she knows them all...well, all except you."
"Yeah. Only I did mention you were straight."
"Well just pretend that I told you that to keep you guessing."
"You are actually planning this aren't you?"
"Oh dear. But what happens when she doesn't believe you?"
"I'll kiss you."
"Yeah right, like you'd dare you little straight chick." I tickled her and she rolled off the sofa laughing.
"But I would!" She sat back on the sofa and pinned my arms down. She leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips.
"Oh yeah, cos that was a kiss." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Just a taster. We want Annie to get the good stuff."
"Are you actually serious?"
"Well yeah. And if she sees that you're happy, she might stop worrying about you and be happy herself. That's what you want isn't it?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Well then. Let's go out!" I rolled my eyes but followed her. This was interesting. And I wonder whether it really will make Annie react.

Ror Reviews: GODZILLA (2014)
SCRReeEEEeeeeeOOooonk! The trailers for this one had us all hyped up to 11, but did Gareth Edwards' ambitious, seemingly very serious take on the King of Monsters deliver the goods? Find out what I thought after the jump.
Mark Cassidy
Filed Under: "
2014 gets off to great start with a smashing opening credits sequence which tells us all we need to know about the military's first attempt to destroy the big fella with a nuclear strike. This brings us to a power plant disaster involving nuclear engineer Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston), before jumping ahead 15 years to find him obsessed and apparently off his rocker; estranged from his now married son Ford (Aaron Taylor Johnson).
Here a terrific father/son dynamic is set up, as both men set out to discover the truth about the event that cost them so much over a decade earlier, with the possibility of a reconciliation at the end of it -- and then the movie makes a critical mistake that it almost doesn't recover from: The focus is shifted from Cranston (as brilliant as you'd expect as the manic, complex Joe) and placed on Johnson (not so brilliant as the block of wood Ford). The
actor is okay, it's just that his character is pretty much a blank slate. He wants to get back to his family and help save the planet from the nasty creatures and...that's pretty much all there is to him. Elizabeth Olsen is more believable and compelling in her handful of scenes as his worried wife, and actually makes you wish her character was the focus. Also wasted is the brilliant Sally Hawkins as one of the scientists who've been tracking Godzilla. Both she and her associate played by Ken Watanabe are there only to spout exposition -- Watanabe's character in particular exhibiting an almost psychic understanding of the creatures that borders on the laughable.
But hey, enough about the human characters right? You came to see Kaiju scraps and by God(zilla) do you get 'em...eventually.
You've probably already heard that the titular giant lizard's screen time is pretty limited and that's kind of an understatement. He's teased, and he's glimpsed, but the majority of monster action is actually given to his enemies, the MUTO. There are even a couple of scenes that cut away just as Godzilla and the MUTO are about to throw down, and these are sure to infuriate some. Personally I was fine with it because I knew (or at least hoped) it was all building to something special, and in that regard I was not disappointed. The final 15-20 minutes are a Kaiju lover's dream come true. I wouldn't even consider myself a massive fan of these type of monster flicks, and I was in awe of the spectacle. The special effects, the creature fight choreography (if you will), the screeching, the atomic breath..all well worth the wait. It's just a shame that our human guide on the journey to get there wasn't more interesting.
Taking a giant monster movie as seriously this
reboot does is risky business, and to his credit Edwards does infuse the story with genuine emotion and character drama -- which works just fine while we care about those characters, but drags a bit when we don't. Still, this is a welcome return to the screen for the King Of Monsters and the incredible creature fight scenes are worth the price of admission alone -- just be aware of how long you'll have to wait to see them, and in who's company.

The England Under-21 striker was played in by fellow substitute Nacer Chadli in the closing moments of Sunday's 1-0 win against the Bluebirds, but a fine save from goalkeeper David Marshall denied him the opportunity to put the game fully out of the visitors' reach.
It was all water under the bridge in the end as Roberto Soldado's first half strike proved enough to put Cardiff to the sword.
And Harry, who replaced Roberto with nine minutes to go, was thrilled not only with the result – but also for his Spanish front line colleague, who has endured a tough spell in front of goal recently.
"I probably should have scored at the end, but it's good to get on the pitch and to get into those positions. Obviously I hope to take the next chance," Harry said.
"These are the games we need to win. Cardiff are fighting against relegation and it's always going to be a battle against a team in that position. They're always going to be in your face. But it's great to get the result and it's good that we held out for the win.
"It was good for Roberto to get the goal too. Without a doubt it's given him a boost of confidence and hopefully he can push on and score more goals like everyone knows he can."

Back in February during Toy Fair 2011, I scouted out the best new plush toys at the show. I seemed to have missed one, although I think I know why. Plush animals are supposed to be cute and cuddly. They're not supposed to want to eat your brains, right? Well there's no time like the present, where zombie mania is at its peak, to challenge such notions and instill a love for all things undead with your little ones.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
Fresh from the mind of children's book author/illustrator Neecy Twinem, ZombieZoo includes a full cast of characters complete their own back story and setting. There's Boo the cat, Muck the monkey, Rob the rabbit, Stich the pig and Toxic the snake.
Each animal is between 12-15″ high and is made in the signature ZombieZoo style: an oversized head, one missing eye, and "Frankenstein"-style stitching. The folks at ZombieZoo were kind enough to send over a few of the critters so I could get a hands-on look, so I can attest that they really do have a perfect blend of cuteness and creepiness. The animals are tall yet thin, making them good bedtime companions. I suppose they'd also do a great job warding away monsters.
You probably have not heard of ZombieZoo prior to this post, but I'm fairly certain this won't be the last time you hear the name. ZombieZoo has the look of a property with franchise potential. I can see the cartoons, books, games and toys already. For the moment though, this is a plush animal line that is just a few months old, with no announced plans to push the brand further. We'll have to wait and see where these creepily adorable creatures go from here, but you heard about them first on GeekDad!
Remember, you can't force your children to be anything they don't want to be. But when they grow up with an attachment to zombie animal friends? Well, let's just say it helps pave the road to geek-dom. To help children get used to this unconventional world of ZombieZoo, each of the animals comes with a personality tag and the original DVD storybook "Where Does Boo Go?"
