Rerin -- Street Brawl
Since the princess never specified where I was to go, I waited for them all to split up and then went off on my own. I hadn't said or done much on this journey, still a little dazed from jumping into all the action. I had acted on impulse; Ukaor had killed my tutor, and any hopes of completing my studies, and my first thought was to get rid of him. And then there was the fact that Arien girl was standing there. For some reason I felt obligated to impress her.
Was it a foolish choice? I wasn't sure yet. All I knew was that I needed some time alone to digest everything.
The only other time I'd seen this town was through a carriage window on my way back from the school I'd had no choice but to leave. But I was probably too buried in my thoughts to notice much of it as none of it looked familiar. Most of the weathered buildings were topped with thatched roofs while the newer, and taller ones bragged their shingled ones. Their inhabitants bustled busily, but it wasn't a cheerful sense if business like the last town, rather it was more gloomy; as if they were all just trying to make it through one more day.
The crowd cleared momentarily and I spotted a small fountain and walked towards it. With a sigh of gratitude I splashed it onto my face and gulped it down my throat. It'd been a long time since any of us had fresh water.
"Hey you!"
I spun around at the grouchy voice.
"If you need a drink there's a well not far from here."
"Sorry sir," I muttered, "I'll remember that next time."
The short man only waved me away and muttered something about 'ruddy travelers' before resuming his business.
A deep cry of pain came from another direction and I turned to see none other than Jevin, Princess Odael in tow, racing down the avenue. The two sped right past me without even a second glance. And when I saw their brute of a purser I didn't blame them.
But I couldn't just keep standing here while my comerades were in trouble. Without much of a second thought I conjured up a rushing stream of air and knocked the guy onto his nose. Furious, he heaved himself back to his feet and whirled around to face me--just as everyone else within a ten-foot radius had.
Snarling, he ran a finger under his nose with a loud sniff and stomped towards me to jab me in the chest with it.
"Yes?" I challenged, knowing I was asking for it.
"Who do you think you are?!"
"That's for me to know and you to not," I smirked.
As if suddenly remembering, He jerked his head around to look for the two he'd been chasing only to see that they'd gotten away. Unfortunetly, I was still here. And, judging by the furious glare he shot me, he had some anger to let out.
He curled a fist and sent it flying towards my face but I side-stepped it and shoved him splashing into the fountain--attracting quite a crowd. He sent a foot into my stomach as he struggled to get out and I bent over, gasping for breath--or at least pretending to. Just as I expected, he grinned triumphantly and readied two fists to land right on my head. Down they plummeted and, at the last second, I reached up to grab them and, using a few extra strength spells, pulled him over my head and smashing onto the cobblestones.
There were a mix of cheers and jeers and I decided I'd best take my leave before I attracted any more attention when he grabbed my foot. Twisting it beyond its limits, he yanked me flat on my back. I screwed my eyes shut as my head hit the hard ground and opened them to see my enemy's leering face staring down at me.
I used another spell to shove him off of me and once again looked for an escape route when he dug his grimy fingernails into my shoulder, spun me around, and slammed that itchy fist of his right into my forehead.
I played dead as my undesicive conciousness slipped back and forth. It was the only strategedy I had the strength to pull off.
"That'll learn you to get in my way," the man growled.
I forced my mind to make sense of everything until I was positive he had left. Then, though it resulted in the mother of all headaches, I pryed my eyelids open. It was near sundown. I had to get back.
Using all the healing spells I had the stamina for, I managed to stop the bleeding, but it was still obvious that something had happened. Hopefully they'd all be eating or something and I could just slip into our room and sleep, saving all question-asking for later.
"Rerin! What happened?"
Heh, so much for that plan.
"I'll tell you in the morning," I groaned, pressing my palm to my head to keep it from bleeding any further, "Where's our room?"
"Third floor, first room" I heard Jevin's concerned voice, but his figure was blurry, "Are you sure you can make it?"
"Of course he can," Valour, "Quit worrying."
With someone's help, I managed to find my way up the stairs. I barely even remember hitting the cushion of the bed.

Chapter 7 Was it really just a dreamMature
I was running through a wooded area, and it was dark. I could feel the branches whipping at my legs as I ran franticly forward looking for civilization. I could hear faint footsteps trailing behind me, but I was afraid to look back. A deep voice was calling after me, the words were muffled but I could tell it was male.
In the next instant I was tumbling onto the wet grass thanks to the fallen debris I tripped over. I looked down and my hands were covered in mud as I jumped up I didn't appear to be injured. I could see a figure gaining distance as I bolted of into the tree's, this time being careful not to fall.
I came to a clearing that was indulged with fog which made it impossible to see what was up ahead. I still continued into the unfamiliar night, and I heard the voice again. This time it was more clear and I could make out the threats. "GET BACK HERE, YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME," the voice shouted.
My heart started beating harder and I sped up. I had no idea where I was or who was chasing me. I stopped for a mere second to catch my breath, which turned out to be a mistake. I felt a forceful pull from behind me and I was in a choke hold. I could feel the warm, raunchy breath of my captor on my neck. "Where do you think you going?" he whispered with excitement. I was paralyzed with fear, so I just closed my eyes praying that it was all a dream.
But it didn't, I could feel him dragging me backwards. Within seconds I hear the roar on an engine surface and still I kept my eyes closed terrified of what I might see. I could hear the murmur of other voices, but I was weak and couldn't make out what they were shouting.
I must have passed out, because when I woke up I was tied to a chair. The room was bare and empty apart from myself. I struggled to free myself, but the ropes were just to tight. I tried to scoot the chair to the door, which I wasn't even sure was unlocked. Halfway there the door swung open and two men walked in, but I did not recognize them.
The marched toward me with much eagerness and halted in front of me. One was tall and stocky, he looked to be in his thirties. The other slightly shorter and slender. Then the slender one spoke, "What should we do with her Ivan?" This sent me into a frenzy and my mind filled with horrific images of my death. "You stupid fuck don't say my name, " the heavier one yelled. I could tell by his tone he was the one who had been chasing me. After the argued for a while they fell silent and kneeled down to my height. They both broke out in laughter at the fear in my eyes.
During their barrel of laughter the door swung open again and they swiftly returned to their feet, as to be worried. Another man entered and headed our direction. As he moved into the light I saw a scar under his right eye hidden underneath his cap. He was around the same height as the other two assholes who stood before me.
He pulled out a long silver knife and paraded it in front of my face like a prize. I was petrified and at that same moment the knife grazed my shoulder. The wound exuded with blood and the pain was unbearable and I screamed out in suffering tears. He raised the knife once more and began to lunge at me, I closed by eyes tightly.
I could feel myself being jounced repeatedly, and I finally opened my eyes. I met Sebastian's gaze and his eyes were filled with concern.
"I heard you screaming," he gasped.
He hugged me tightly as the tears flooded my cheeks. "Your safe now," he breathed.

Hey I was wondering if any one here is a fan of Bob Gallo?
His electronica / new age album Starway to Heaven uses star charts that he lined up with a musical staff so that the stars created the notes.
Anyone ever tried anything like this?
Bob Gallo is also supposedly the guy who discovered Elvis Costello!

At WWDC, Yahoo received an Apple Design Award for Yahoo Weather. This coincided with the unveiling of iOS 7 and its Weather app, which displayed striking similarities to Yahoo's effort.
With the latest update to the app, Yahoo has brought the same award-winning design to the iPad. The full-bleed imagery from Flickr really shines on a larger display. The layout for iPad is largely a port of the iPhone design with upgraded icons and assets but refinements have been made for the iPad where necessary. For example, forecast information can be much larger because of the additional real-estate.

IDC is out today with its latest report tracking worldwide tablet shipments, reporting that total shipments have experienced a sequential decline during Q2 at the expense of Apple and the iPad. Apple already announced that it had sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, a significant drop from the 17 million it sold in the year ago quarter, but today IDC gives us some insight into where that puts Apple in its lead over Samsung as the top tablet vendor.
Apple was able to pick up 32.4% of the market during Q2, continuing its lead as the top tablet manufacturer, but dropping from the 60.3% of the market it had in Q2 last year. While Apple's tablet shipments are clearly suffering from lack of new product announcements this year, it's also losing share to Samsung and others. IDC reports 277% year over year growth for Samsung, giving it 18% of the market with 8.1 million units shipped during Q2. All of the top 3 vendors– Apple, Samsung, and ASUS– experienced a drop compared to Q1 2013, but the Android tablet makers have experienced significant growth compared to Apple since last year. expand full story

This season's British Grand Prix at Silverstone over the Easter weekend turned into a farce as heavy rain and a lack of facilities led to thousands of spectators being advised to stay away from the Northamptonshire track as car parks on the surrounding fields turned into quagmires and traffic on local roads ground to a halt.
And after seeing the first-class facilities on offer in America when the Formula One roadshow returned to the United States after an absence of nine years at Indianapolis last month, FIA supremo Max Mosley has issued a stark warning to organisers of the British event.
"We hope that before long in the UK there will be a facility of world standard," Mosley said.
"If there is not, the future of the British Grand Prix as regards a World Championship must be very much in question.
"If you are going to have a world level championship - and world levels are rising all the time - it really does devalue the race when it is held somewhere like Silverstone."
A provisional date of Sunday, May 13 has been announced for the 2001 British Grand Prix, but that is subject to Silverstone satisfying the FIA that there will be no repeat of this year's fiasco.
Meanwhile, Brands Hatch in Kent has been given the go-ahead to plan to hold the event in 2002.

EUR/NZD: buy target – 1.6000
By: Dima Chernovolov
- EUR/NZD rises inside C-wave
- Next buy target – 1.6000
EUR/NZD continues to rise after the recent breakout of the resistance trendline of the wide weekly down channel from last year. The breakout of this resistance trendline accelerated the active minor C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (2) from April. This C-wave earlier broke the resistance levels 1.5400 (which stopped the previous A-wave) and 1.5600. Each of these successive breakouts accelerated the growth of this currency pair.
EUR/NZD is likely to rise further inside the active C-wave toward the next buy target at 1.6000 (target price calculated for the completion of the C-wave).

This Tanzanite is a very pretty purple
I love the simplicity of the setting with the flashy purple stone; although I don't think the bezel is the same thickness all the way around so it makes the roundness slightly distorted looking.

There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis.
Next Steps
A fungal condition called should also be ruled out.

Read an Excerpt
Introduction to the Revised Edition
Here's How I Know It Works!
My very own strong-willed child, Mike, came bursting through the door with his usual force and energy. He was fresh from yet another week of being a counselor at a summer YMCA camp. I marveled at how quickly the years have passed and here he was—twenty years old and about to enter his junior year in college. Could it possibly be?
"Mom, I have to tell you something."
I've learned to appreciate every opportunity to talk about his life, so I stopped what I was doing and listened.
"The camp kids were driving me crazy. I was so frustrated, I was ready to scream." He paused and put his finger in the air to make a pronouncement. "So, I decided I'd better read one of your books."
I raised my eyebrows. "Which book did you read, Mike?" He shrugged and grinned. "You Can't Make Me." Before I
could react he rushed on. "And you know what? It works!" I wasn't prepared for this. Was this my strong-willed child,
who appears in every chapter of the book, telling me he was now using it to understand the kids he was counseling at
For the next twenty minutes Mike regaled me with examples he had read in the book, emphasizing the strategies he had used successfully with his campers. We reminisced over stories from the book that he remembered and laughed about the ones he had forgotten or was too young to recall.
Since the first edition of You Can't Make Me! (But I Can Be Persuaded) came out in 1999, literally thousands of parents and educators have taken the time to actually write or personally deliver overwhelmingly positive and grateful responses to the powerful and effective strategies in the book. I've been humbled and encouraged to see the hope in their eyes and hear the joy in their voices.
But I have to tell you, by far the most meaningful endorsement I could ask for is the one from Mike. After twenty years of living with and loving my strong-willed child, after the prayers and tears, trial and error, perseverance and frustration, failure and success, he is reading and endorsing the book that describes him as the quintessential strong-willed kid.
So as you read this revised and updated version of You Can't Make Me, believe me when I say I'm still in the trenches with you. I've parented a great strong-willed child and his equally wonderful but more compliant twin brother. I will never be able to make the claim I did everything right. Far from it! I am eternally grateful that God has been gracious in supplementing my well-intentioned and often inadequate efforts with His grace, love, and wisdom.
My fervent prayer is that you will benefit from the wisdom and advice of the many strong-willed children and their parents you are about to meet in this book. Most of all, no matter how things turn out, I pray you will be glad you never gave up on the relationship with your strong-willed child. You'll never be able to truly measure the difference it will make.

Osceola instructor's friends find charges hard to believe
There are 1096 comments on the The Orlando Sentinel story from Aug 20, 2006, titled Osceola instructor's friends find charges hard to believe. In it, The Orlando Sentinel reports that:Neighbors, colleagues and friends on Saturday rallied around the Kissimmee karate teacher arrested a day earlier on charges he molested a teenage student.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at The Orlando Sentinel.
#1 Aug 21, 2006
I don't know wether the charges of molestation are true. I hope they're not.
I do know that Bradley Knight is a megalomaniac. He thinks that by dominiating his students both physically and mentally that he is showing that he is a great instructor and powerful personality.
It's a shame really, he's not a bad martial artist would have much more to offer if he didn't try to run his karate school like a military boot-camp all the time.
Dicipline is necessary in a karate school. Beating a student with a Shinai for making an error in judgement is not the way to teach.
#3 Aug 21, 2006
Bradley is a great teacher. As one of his former students, I loved his classes. Yes, they were strict but it instills discipline and confidence in you that can help you in life outside the dojo. I dont know if the accusations are true or not, but after knowing his family and him personally I have a very hard time believing it. It is just not in his character.
#5 Aug 23, 2006
It's quite obvious that Mr. Thomet and Kagisurfer never quite got the message of karate. As a student for the last year, and a previous student under another sensei, there is nothing wrong or harsh concerning the method that Mr. Knight instills in his class. The problem is that most people haven't figured out the difference between pride and respect. Their pride gets in the way of humbling themselves to learn. Name calling on this page only validates exactly what I am speaking of here. Invalidating someone else's viewpoint is a blatant showing of how little self respect, dignity and how much low self esteem one has. Wow. I am so not impressed. Unless this whole mess is proven via DNA, the man who teaches my class has nothing buy my utmost respect as he should as my sensei.
#7 Aug 26, 2006
Hmm. You appear to have much anger. Frankly, since I do not know you, I actually have no comments on what your personal problem is, however, if we are speaking of Education per se, I was a high school teacher for 4 years, so I am very much in tune as to what education implies. Discipline is a matter of cultural background. By your wording, I am not sure whether you are making a statement or question. Education does not stop at adulthood. Ignorant student? When one realizes that they are perpetually ignorant througout life, life then becomes a challenge to realize the importance of education. However, I must say, I am not sure what the purpose of your statement is, whether your are speaking of my sensei or some other sensei. One of the precepts in Shotokan is that it will take your entire life to learn karate, that there is no limit. That is true, as well as pretty much anything else in life. In true karate, there is a measure of discipline. If you did not learn this as a student, then you suffered a great loss.
#9 Aug 28, 2006
Finish emotionally? I am more mature then you have proven to be. Martial Arts helps with self confidents, maybe if you actually experianced martial arts you would have more depth to your opinion.
#11 Aug 29, 2006
Hey Jacques Thomet .... ever post on Bullshido.com ?
Go for it!
#13 Aug 30, 2006
What a moron:
Obesity is rising at an alarming rate throughout Europe. It forms a pan-European epidemic that presents a major barrier to the prevention of chronic
non-communicable diseases. At least 135 million EU citizens are affected and perhaps another 70 million in those countries seeking to join. In many countries now significantly more than half the adult population is overweight and up to 30% of adults are clinically obese. The prevalence among children is rising significantly with as many as one in four affected in some regions.
LMAO what an idiot you are
#16 Sep 3, 2006
1st off where are you from... your english is horrible. Martial arts isnt sweet its hard work... I dont know. Have you actually been in martial arts?
#20 Sep 5, 2006
I know the man. My kids attend the school and he is not guilty. As for his teaching methods, I dont know all that much about martial arts but when you help two children the way he has helped mine you deserve some respect. This man has done alot for two children whose own crackhead father can't even call them. They have a self-confidence and respect that was never there.
#24 Sep 6, 2006
I am in complete agreement with you Lliona. My son also attends and has for several years. I hardly think that it is fair for anyone that doesn't know him, to pass judgement on him. This country is based on the belief of "innocent until proven guilty." My family and I will stand behind him 100%.
#25 Sep 6, 2006
It would be so much easier to respond to your thoughts if I could understand them. I can't be open minded about what you're trying to say if I can't understand you.
#29 Sep 7, 2006
Then why do you live here?
#31 Sep 7, 2006
I hate to break it to you students and former students that are faithfully heralding his inocence, but, not only is he guilty, he's done it before.
But don't take my word for it. It will all come out at trial. You will see.
Meglomaniac is a perfect description of Mr. Knight. And like every power drunk punk, he thought himself above reproach. It will all come around. Be sure of it.

Is this "Hanabi"?

Um, sorry BadGirl, but you really haven't been there long enough or have known him long enough to be able to speak with authority on the matter of his character. While I understand your faith it is not something that is based on who he really is. It's based on the persona that he invented, along with his little world, where he reigns supreme. It's not healthy and most students that spend time in the environment fall victim to his influence. I did for a long time and it seems you have too.
It's time to realize that in that dojo you are made to feel that the qualities that you have and desire for yourself are unattainable without him. It's a cult mentality.
But do as you like. Either way, now that the hounds have his scent all will come to light. And trust me there is more.

I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Bradley Knight Sensei, whatever you want to call him has had other sexual affairs
#35 Sep 7, 2006
Insider - I suppose that you are entitled to your opinion based on your experiences with him. And as such, so am I. I'm not a student but my son is and not only has karate become important in his life, but Mr. Knight and his family as well. I suppose that each person on this planet takes away a little something different than the other person in our experiences. For you, it doesn't sound like you benefited at all. But for my son, it has changed his life.
From what you are saying, you are making it seem as if he needs to prove that he is innocent where in reality and under the rights of the constitution, the prosecution must prove him guilty. I truly believe that this will be a case of he said/she said, which can be scary in itself.
As for him doing this before, I have to question that as well. Why hasn't anyone else come forward then? Because I know both parties to this accusation, I believe I can make a sensible decision about whether or not to believe it.
Maybe your opinions are based on being told to do 1 too many push ups.
United States
#36 Sep 7, 2006
I agree so much with insider this will all come to the surface. Obviously I'm not the only person who knows a lot to be said about our sensei. I really hope that they nail his ass. Having affairs was bad enough, but seducing a child 20 yrs. younger is so fucking sick. I hope this dog gets what he deserves. As for his wife she is aware of his infidelity but like everything else he also runs her like a student
United States
#37 Sep 7, 2006
no one has come forward because alot of people will get hurt
United States
#38 Sep 7, 2006
I really want to see him prove himself innocent that he is not, even his young students are aware of what goes on behind the curtains at the dojo. His nick name is horneymaster

Comedian Wanda Sykes: Only Way GOP Could Hate Me More Is If I Rolled Around in Pile of Welfare Checks
Comedian Wanda Sykes is a black gay woman, and according to her, that puts her in the crosshairs of the Republican Party. The GOP is best known as the party of old white men, so as far as Sykes is concerned, she is persona non grata.
In a special for LOGO, Sykes tackled head on the GOP's relationship to minorities.
"I'm a black, gay woman," Sykes said in the special "NewNowNext Vote," which aired on LOGO network. "I think the only way to make the GOP hate me more is if I sent them a video of me rolling around on a pile of welfare checks." According to Sykes, she's what you call a triple threat to the GOP.
Sykes came out of the closet as a lesbian at a rally in Las Vegas regarding proposition 8.
This is not the first time Sykes has stirred controversy while discussing politics. At the 2009 White House Correspondents' Dinner, Sykes raised eyebrows when she responded to conservative Rush Limbaugh's comment that he hoped President Obama fails. "I hope he fails" Sykes snapped back in response, "I hope his [Limbaugh's] kidneys fail, how 'bout that? Needs a little waterboarding, that's what he needs."
Sykes is probably best known for her stint on The Chris Rock Show during the late 90's.

PGIMER, Chandigarh, India
PURPOSE: Tobacco smoking is commonly believed to be negatively associated with occurrence of sarcoidosis. Relationship of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure with sarcoidosis is largely un-explored. We studied the prevalence of tobacco smoking (active and ETS exposure) and its impact on disease severity in freshly diagnosed cases of sarcoidosis from India.
METHODS: Data on demographic variables, smoking habits and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure among non smokers was collected prospectively in 98 newly diagnosed cases of sarcoidosis and 196 age, sex and religion matched healthy volunteers. Prevalence of smoking and ETS exposure was compared among cases and controls. Among the sarcoidosis patients, clinical manifestations, radiology, spirometry and histopathological grading of lung biopsy [1] were compared between the smokers or non smokers and ETS exposed or not-exposed patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS.
RESULTS: The study group comprised of 62 (63%) men and 36 (37%) women. The prevalence of smoking was similar in cases and controls (12.2% vs. 15.3%, p < 0.48). Among the never smoker patients with sarcoidosis, 20 (23%) reported ETS exposure vis a vis 57 (34%) in the matched controls. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed insignificant negative association with active smoking (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.38–1.58) or ETS exposure (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.27–1.04) after adjusting for age, gender, religion, and education. Logistic regression model did not show any difference in the clinical manifestations, radiological staging, spirometry and histo-pathological grading of lung biopsy in any of the group comparisons studied.
CONCLUSION: Smoking or ETS exposure has no significant negative association with sarcoidosis. Also, tobacco smoke does not seem to have any effect on the clinical behavior or disease severity in sarcoidosis.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The belief that smoking is protective for sarcoidosis is not substatiated in this study and appears to be misfounded.Reference:1. Gupta D, Jorapur V, Bambery P, Joshi K, Jindal SK. Pulmonary sarcoidosis: spirometric correlation with transbronchial lung biopsy. Sarcoidosis Vasculitis Diffuse Lung Dis 1997; 14: 77-80.

You must give your reasons for asking that the condition be altered, and provide information to support your request. If you are simply concerned that you have not/will not reach the required marks in your degree condition you should wait until your final results are available and use the new information form to submit them. The selectors will then consider whether or not to confirm your offer.
Condition waiver requests will only be considered if you feel that you already meet the requirement in another way, for example; if you have been required to follow a summer school course, but feel that you have already covered the material in previous study, you should provide the details of the syllabus that you have already covered. We will also consider requests to change how a condition is expressed if it does not match the mark scheme of your university. In this case, you should send details of how the marks at your university are calculated and the form in which your final degree grade will be expressed.
English language condition waivers will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. If you have taken the test but not achieved our required scores, you should arrange to re-take the test rather than requesting a waiver.

It is very important to keep producing the factory items in the game not just because you need them in building and upgrading the buildings but also for making some extra cash by selling them to others. Don't worry if no one is purchasing, Daniel will surely purchase them from you.
- Produce Most Expensive Items:-
No one produces items which need more time to produce. Most of the items which need more time to produce has more value at Trade HQ. Produce them as much as you can and make more money by selling them.
- Invest Smartly:-
If your sims demanding for something necessary to live (Services) then surely buy it first for them. But if they are demanding for Parks, Education, Transportation and Beaches then you can hang it on until you have enough cash to invest in it (Specializations). After all these are least needed services.
- Keep Looking For The Next Unlocks:-
While playing the game, if you tap on the level circle (upper left corner of the screen) you will see what items the next level will be unlocking in the game. If there is any items regarding Services (other than specializations) then you need to prepare financially for it because as soon as you jump on the next level your sims will be starts demanding the services they still don't have. So keep and eye on it and invest only what your sims need.
- Sims Happiness Should Have Minimum 90%:-
Everyone knows it that if you keep sims happy they will pay you more tax. But did you realized that if you keep sims happiness above 90% then they will start paying you 20% tax in the game. So keep it on 90% and above.
- Keep Expanding:-
Keep your city expanding as fast as you can such as Transportations, Educations, Park, Entertainments, Gambling and Landmarks but only after proving basic needs to current population as they are paying you 20% of tax.
- Keep Popping The Bubbles:-
Just keep popping the bubbles when you are at your own city as well as visiting to others as they may give you more special items. When visiting to other cities by popping the gift bubbles sometimes you may get those items which you have been looking for since long time in Trade HQ.
- Buy As Much As You Can:-
Just like purchasing, buying the special items also big you big profits. Just buy the items from HQ and sale them after getting a good deal in the form of coin popups in your city. Sometimes coin popups gives almost 20-25% more value than items market values. So keep buying special items.
- Visit Daniel Everyday:-
Remember to visit Daniels city everyday as he always offer every item in low costs. You can make instant profit by purchasing items from him in low cost and selling them in HQ for high cost easily. Sometimes even Daniel himself purchases his own items from us at our price.

Question regarding Roofing Contractor and UNLICENSED Subcontractor
New to the forum and I have a question. I live in IL and had a claim in with my INS for new roof which was approved. The INS paid me and said to find my own contractor and said to USE LOCAL if possible. I understand why. So after researching companies I found one local (in state and within 10 miles from me). I went with them because they were local and they said they have their own employees that work for them. They had no BBB complaints or anything and were recommended by someone I knew. The roofing company asked if I had any problems with Latinos working on the roof. I said of course not, as long as they're here legally, insured by you and they know what they're doing. He said not to worry, they have all papers on workers and they're insured and bonded.
Well to make a long story short. What has happened is the General subbed my roof out to an out of state roofing company. That roofing company subbed it out to a different out of state roofing company.
I'm pissed! :furious: If I wanted to go with an out of state company I would have done it and probably got a lower bid in the process. The work is shoddy on my roof. They didn't use new flashing like it said in the contract. They didn't replace vent stacks like it said in the contract. They beat the :censored: out of the new drip edge and it looks terrible. They ruined my gutter smashing it to the fascia and they scratched a lot of paint off the fascia all around the house.
My question is if I was not going to pay them, do they have any recourse to come after me? Listen, I'm not trying to get a free roof but the more and more I see the shoddy job and the fact the Contractor lied to me, I just don't think they deserve to be paid.
They farmed my roof out to a NON LICENSED subcontractor who farmed it out to another NON LICENSED subcontractor. That right there is a violation of the of the State of Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act. Subcontractors have to also be licensed and cannot work under the umbrella of another company's license. Both subs are not licensed in IL. They probably don't even have INS. Also, I pretty much can guarantee the workers were all ILLEGAL. Also, they had one unmarked vehicle. It looked like they were living out of it. According to the Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act the vehicle has to say the name of the business on the truck and the license number. This vehicle had no markings and out of state plates. There are other violations as well including OSHA. I have taken pictures of their vehicles and all the damage. Any thoughts?
39 Attachment(s)
I think you would have to make some phone calls. My thoughts are that since you're paying the general contractor, he is the one that is responsible. I think you would have to take it up with the one that you write the check to
Yes, he is ultimately the one responsible. It is illegal to aide and assist the unlicensed practice of roofing contracting in IL. He knowingly used unlicensed subs. Further, they did shoddy work.
It gets a little sticky when you don't pay. I would need to see the contract to help you. Many contracts use " replace all metal flashings as needed" if that is the case, you could be in for a legal battle. My advice to you is to find another contractor to give you an estimate for the area they damaged and for the items that should have been taken care of with the install contract.

If you dislike Maven you'll be pleased to learn that it was a great blow to the Maven integrity :) I actually like Maven for some things. "Great blow"? I sincerely doubt that this is the first time something like this has happened. "Maven integrity"?

This Increasingly Obvious Miscalculation
That evening she heads out; she's off to a spa--6 hours booked, and your plan has no flaw. You've paid an attendant, who, after 3 hours, will make some excuse re: organic mud showers. She'll be sent on her way, still covered in goo, and when doubly embarrassed, she'll really need you to support her, accept her, soothe her hurt feelings; for a moment, you're almost ashamed of your dealings. It's as if someone else implants these ideas… oh don't be ridiculous, your rational mind sneers as you end your ablutions and look in the mirror—eyes bright, teeth white, your skin never clearer—you then finish dressing and head down the stairs, to see dark buxom beauties arriving in pairs.
Bob's offering drinks and playing good host; an hour in, he's downed maybe two beers, at most. The girls are already in states of undress; Bob's sending a text to her, couldn't care less. With a sigh and a shrug (this has to be done) you opt for Plan 2 instead of Plan 1. As you enter the kitchen and mix Bob a drink, you slip in a pill from a Mexican shrink. When you hand him the cocktail, back in the den, he sips like a girl for a minute or 10. Then all of a sudden, he needs to lie down. A sexy brunette wanders around, 'Take good care of him,' you say, as she inserts her hand under his shirt to undo his waistband.
Just then, she walks in—she's 3 hours early! "What the hell do you think you're playing at, girlie?" she says, yanking the raven-haired tart off her guy. Turning to him with a murderous eye, she raises her hand to give him a slap—then, out of nowhere, she crawls in his lap. "Chris!" she shouts frantically, waving you near, "His eyes are bloodshot, and he can't tell I'm here!" Crying forgiveness, she gives him a hug, and takes out her phone to report he's been drugged.
Holy crap. You'd forgotten—she's a trainee nurse. She works at the free clinic, could this be worse? She knows what drugs look like, in pill form or ingested, with junkies her workplace is nearly infested. You head for the bathroom, the toilet, precisely—where else do drugs go? This should work nicely. As you reach in your pocket, the evidence to flush, you hear sounds on the carpet of mulberry plush. You recognise her walk; as you turn back in shame, your one question is, "How'd you rumble my game?"
But she's pointing behind you, to a tree outside. On the lowest branch perches a squirrel, looking snide. His eyes flash bright yellow just once, then he jumps to the ground mouthing something that looks like, you chump.
You don't understand—what stick in your craw? You ask, and she says, "On the way to the spa, I was stopped by, well, maybe, I think it was that rodent. He spoke, and his words were urgently potent. He bid me come home, to avert a disaster—I didn't know he meant you, you sick two-faced bas—"
Then a loud, shrieking sound from outside shakes the room. Is it God? Paramedics? All you know is you're doomed. You trudge back to the den, to sullenly wait, for God or whoever to come seal your fate.

PRESS DIGEST - RUSSIA - June 19
MOSCOW, June 19 (Reuters) - The following are some of the leading stories in Russia's newspapers on Wednesday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
- Russia may consider importing oil from South Korea to stop rising petrol prices in its Far Eastern regions, the daily says.
- At least ten former top managers at TNK-BP, which was acquired by state-owned oil company Rosneft, are complaining that the state firm refused to pay around $9 million in compensation to employees laid off after the acquisition.

Lewis finished the opening day lying in third place having overcome a disappointing high jump effort that left her languishing in eighth spot after just two events.
The 28-year-old is 51 points adrift of surprise leader Natalya Sazanovich of Belarus and 20 adrift of second placed Russian Natalya Roshchupkina.
But France's world champion Eunice Barber, who appeared to be over her injury problems as she led after two events, is way back in seventh spot - a massive 145 points behind Lewis with three events left tomorrow.
"I have a little bit of an acute Achilles problem," said Lewis, bronze medallist in Atlanta four years ago, who had her left calf strapped throughout the day.
"I have been keeping it quiet for a couple of weeks. I did not want anybody to know - but I am confident about tomorrow."
Lewis, beaten into second place by Barber at last year's worlds in Seville, looked out of the gold medal hunt after a disappointing high jump.
The West Bromwich born multi-eventer plummeted from second to eighth overall - 152 points adrift of supposedly her chief rival - after failing to clear 1.81m.
But Barber was also below her best in the event, failing at 1.87, but dropped out of contention in the shot putt when she managed a paltry 11.27metres.
Lewis took advantage in what is her strongest event winning the shot with a throw of 15.55metres to shoot back into second place behind Sazanovich.
The Amsterdam-based athlete picked up more points on Barber when she beat her in the final event of the day, the 200m, but lost ground in the standings to her East European rivals.
Lewis, who had opened promisingly with a time of 13.23 secs in the 100m hurdles, finished on 3,852 points, behind leader Sazanovich (3,903) and Roshchupkina (3,872).
Sierra Leone-born Barber looks out of the hunt after a summer dogged by a hamstring injury and a split with her coach.
Lewis will resume action in the Olympic Stadium tomorrow morning in the long jump before the event concludes with the javelin and 800m where she has made a vast improvement this year.

Not only the oldies. If you were a football-daft seven-year-old, following the match on television in Albert Road, Bolton, there was particular delight in seeing Alan Ball run his little socks off; man of the match in a World Cup final at 21, and a Farnworth lad, too. At Devonshire Road primary, we may not all have known our nine times table but nobody doubted that Lancashire was the home of English football, and now the world knew it.
On a journey to Bavaria that summer, Harald Makant, son of a Sudeten German teacher and a colleague of my mother's, proclaimed: 'Ich bin ein Englander!' And who, looking at the understated nobility of Alf Ramsey's team, wouldn't want to be English? In Bobby Moore, the captain, Bobby Charlton and Gordon Banks, it boasted three men who would challenge for a place in any all-time XI. They were much more than outstanding footballers. They were modest men who won (and, four years later, in Mexico, lost) with grace.They were proper chaps.
As we have been informed countless times, those men earned £1,000 for being the best. The current bunch will each be £300,000 better off if they win this time. Are they 300 times more deserving? In the time-honoured words of Play School, let's have a look through the round window. What do we see?
Rio Ferdinand, for one, a defender some compare with Bobby Moore, presumably because he began life at West Ham. Moore was no angel. He liked a drop and occasionally consorted with folk who drove white Jags, but he never forgot to piss in a pot, as Ferdinand did, despite being reminded of his drugs test half an hour before he should have attended it. Instead, he sauntered off on a shopping trip, looking for another pair of ripped jeans.
Next we see John Terry and his Chelsea team-mate, Frank Lampard, who abused American tourists in a hotel lounge while the cinders were still glowing at Ground Zero. And Joe Cole, another Chelsea player, spotted earlier this year fleeing half-dressed from a party. The other Cole, Ashley, appears to spend more time talking to Chelsea than playing for Arsenal, who happen to employ him.
We see Wayne Rooney, a gifted striker, who told the England bench to 'fuck off' after being withdrawn (for his own sake) from a friendly in Madrid. At the senatorial age of 20, he has signed a five-book deal, to reveal his innermost thoughts. Perhaps he will tell us why he tore off a black armband on that shameful night, worn in honour of Emlyn Hughes, a former England captain, and flung it to the ground.
And we see David Beckham, a very good midfield player in his pomp, crippled by the celebrity he craved. Sent off twice in an England shirt for acts of petulance, yet retained as captain by the manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson, to whom he is linked umbilically. Beckham and his ghastly consort, Lady Posh, are beyond parody.
Then there are the other players who must remain unnamed: the one who casually handed a cabbie £1,000 for a journey back to Manchester after a night's carousing in London; the one who halted his 4x4 in a Soho street, blocking the traffic, wandered into a record shop and threw the CD's wrapping out of the window as motorists hooted; the one who told a police officer who was warning him about his drunken behaviour: 'The youth of today look up to people like me.'
They make a lovely bunch.But their immaturity should not be so surprising when the game is infested by small armies of mediocrities and few men of substance. Surely no other human pastime attracts so many nest-featherers and show-offs. Patrick Barclay, who writes so beautifully about the sport, made no bones about it in a recent essay: 'It's time football declared itself bankrupt, morally bankrupt.' Fat chance. For one thing, there's too much money sloshing about.
Then there are 'the fans', who, for more than 30 years, have ransacked the cities of Europe. Not even the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was spared. Yet there are still people who will rally to their cause if one points out that rugby supporters (of both codes) can enjoy a day out without brawling. There has never been and never will be segregation at rugby matches, where the supporters drink far more. They actually enjoy the fellowship of their opponents, which makes football people, raised on rancid tribalism, hate them even more. Only the other week, Paul Wilson of this parish wrote that, while England's supporters did not always behave well, at least they reminded you that you were not at Twickenham.
In years to come, social historians will be puzzled by the eagerness of so many modern Britons, of all classes, to embrace the fetid practices of football support. They need only turn to Theodore Dalrymple, fearless critic of urban life. In 1997, Dalrymple was in Rome, where England were playing a World Cup qualifying match, and his account of that evening's violence repays study.
'There were two surprising things about this deeply unattractive crowd,' he wrote. 'The first was that many among them were well-educated, and the second was that when the carabinieri charged, they immediately began to feel self-pity and injured outrage. It was as if their inalienable right to behave like scum had been unfairly challenged.'
He went on: 'The vile behaviour of the English football fans abroad is, in fact, a symptom of a deep and rapidly advancing cultural phenomenon, the proletarianisation of British life. The England fans abroad are not, of course, proletarians of the Lancashire mill variety - they are far too well-heeled for that - and real proletarians used to behave a great deal better. But they are pretending to be proletarian.'Bull's eye.
Inverted snobbery is not exclusive to football - indeed it has become a national obsession (listen to all those estuarine voices on radio and television) - but it took an outsider like Dalrymple to recognise, as others closer to the sport have failed to, the cultivated slumming that passes for social virtue.
We were told that the European Championship that England hosted 10 years ago was a festival of amity. Having witnessed at first hand how Trafalgar Square was cordoned off after the game with Spain, with broken glass everywhere, and hundreds of drunks frolicking in the fountains while the police funnelled bemused tourists towards Whitehall, I take a different view. And that was after England had won.
Nothing much has changed, no matter what the football authorities may say.The English football fan, when surrounded by hundreds of his kin, remains a national embarrassment. Why else would the German police feel it necessary to announce that they will not tolerate Nazi salutes or offensive songs during the World Cup? Because they know that English fans cannot get through a game, or an afternoon on the pop, without offering the locals insults, obscenities and cracked heads.
Naturally I shall be supporting England this summer. I shall support Britten at Glyndebourne, Elgar at the Three Choirs Festival, the Constable exhibition at Tate Britain and our cricketers, led by the great Andrew Flintoff (or the equally noble Michael Vaughan), a man who Wellington himself might have promoted colonel. But, despite the ancestral voices, I shall not support the footballers. Their game brings out the worst in us, just as cricket and rugby, sports that reveal more about human character, tend to bring out the best.
Instead, I shall root for the Hun, out of perversity (England fans hate the sausage-eaters more than anybody) and out of admiration for that land, its people and its football. The Germans don't feel it necessary to brag about what they haven't done because they have the trophies to show what they have accomplished - three World Cups and as many European Championships.
Four summers ago, I watched the World Cup final between Germany and Brazil in my favourite bar, a mile from the Olympic Stadium that will stage this year's grand contest. No Berliner present that day wore a replica shirt, shouted abuse at the other team or got drunk, though strong drink was certainly taken.
As we approach the tournament, all those illiterate telly pundits will bump up England's chances and brush up their German cliches. 'Teutonic efficiency' they will tell us - yawn - as if that lazy phrase could account for Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Wagner and all those painters, writers, scientists and philosophers. In football, it is a good list, too. Even if we start in 1966, which brought our day in the sun, the Germans have had Beckenbauer, Maier, Breitner, Muller, Vogts, Overath, Grabowski, Netzer, Bonhof, Schuster, Rummenigge, Klinsmann, Matthaus and Sammer. Rather better than our lot, wouldn't you agree?
Forty years on, I can invert Master Makant's proclamation. For one month at least: 'Ich bin ein Deutscher.'

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) announced changes today to the District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG) program that will enable the program to serve more college-bound DC students. The changes increase the award amount for community college students to up to $10,000 per year in tuition assistance; increase the age limit for DCTAG eligibility to age 26; and change the eligibility time limit to reflect six years of receiving a DCTAG award. Previously, students who attended public community colleges were only eligible for up to $2,500 per year, the age limit for receipt of DCTAG funds was set at 24 years old, and the six-year limit on funding was based on a student's initial postsecondary enrollment.
"It is critical that we do everything we can to support the success of college bound District residents," said Mayor Bowser. "DCTAG will now help even more students reach their full potential during their journey through college and career."
DCTAG provides funding to District residents to cover the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition - up to $10,000 toward tuition at public colleges and universities throughout the US, Guam and Puerto Rico. DCTAG also provides up to $2,500 for tuition assistance at private colleges and universities in the District and private Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) throughout the nation. DCTAG has helped over 25,000 District of Columbia students pay for college since its inception in 1999.
The changes announced today are meant to ensure that the program's policies reflect today's postsecondary landscape while staying true to DCTAG's legislative purpose to "enable college-bound residents of the [District] to have greater choices among institutions of higher education."
"Compared to students in previous generations, current postsecondary students often need more flexibility in order to balance the demands of attending school, working, and caring for families, which means completing college can take longer. Additionally, tuition has risen disproportionately to inflation, sometimes making even community college cost-prohibitive for District students," said State Superintendent Hanseul Kang. "These changes will help more students persist through college, earn degrees, and continue on the pathway to the middle class."
The application period for DCTAG opens Wednesday, February 1 and runs through June 30. Eligible District residents should apply early as funds are dispersed on a first come, first served basis.
To apply for DCTAG, interested applicants should: complete the DC OneApp; complete the FAFSA; and provide the Required Supporting Documents.

text: Plot: The unforgettable true story chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition.
