Sources: Red Sox interested in Tejada
July, 28, 2008
The Red Sox have had discussions with the Astros about shortstop Miguel Tejada, sources told ESPNdeportes.com's Enrique Rojas. One source said the conversations between the two teams had just started. Another source, one close to Tejada, said the Red Sox and Astros have been in talks for some time now about a trade. "I feel good in Houston, but I wouldn't be afraid to accept the challenge of playing in Boston," Tejada said in a telephone interview.

Shveta Arora, Vice President and Regional Head for APAC and MEA - Retail, Manufacturing, and Logistics Practice, Infosys
Download article
A new television advertisement shows a tired businessman sitting in crowded airports, stuffy airplanes, and rancid reception areas, only to get home and finally, be rewarded by sitting behind the wheel of his own car. Our protagonist comes home from an arduous business trip and gets to drive his own car alone and in Zen-like peace. But in the shared economy, he would feel a sense of pride for sharing his car with three other commuters so that they collectively reduce their carbon footprint. Just one car on the road versus four.
To some, the shared economy is a utopian vision for the future that may be enabled by advances in information technology. Using information technology, resources that would otherwise go unused (those three other car seats, for example) are utilized instead by people – sometimes complete strangers – who need to travel to the same place (using the car example). To others, the shared economy has socialist overtones where everyone can stake an equal claim to existing resources.
To start with, there really is no sharing going on in a purely economic sense. Ubiquitous IT platforms are creating peer-to-peer networks that allow civic-minded people to be aware of opportunities to reduce, reuse, and recycle so, strictly speaking, the middleman who provides the platform isn't sharing anything. His innovative business is merely connecting parties that would have otherwise not known about the other, and among these parties, goods and services are rented out at a price.
A Harvard Business School study makes a cogent case for renaming this phenomenon the `access economy'. Robust IT platforms allow more and more people to access goods and services which sometimes have the appearance of sharing. But make no mistake about it: The sharing (or access) economy is truly about utilizing every resource and byproduct by virtue of the fact that we're increasingly connected in a digital world.
Economically speaking, IT has empowered businesses and individuals alike to leverage every efficiency out of existing business models. There is yet another term for these developments: Collaborative consumption. According to Ericsson's Mobility Report, there are currently 2.6 billion smartphone subscriptions in the world. The report's research points to an increase to 6.1 billion by the year 2020.
Already, the access economy has shown its influence and strength through crowd funding. Up until a few years ago, an entrepreneur would have limited options in obtaining capital for a new business – a bank loan or an infusion of cash from a venture capital firm. Now, that entrepreneur can post her business vision to any number of crowd funding platforms and connect with potential investors. The technology platform typically gets a cut of whatever amount of money the entrepreneur raises from investors.
The concept of wanting to connect people to drive efficiencies is not new. In fact, sharing has been a fundamental aspect of human nature and cultural behavior. The oldest communities in recorded history – city-states that date back more than 5,000 years – were based around the concept of villagers sharing goods to form a community and most efficiently feed and protect its inhabitants. That same sense of sharing to save money and resources can be seen even today. Across many parts of the world, it has been typical for family vacation to be planned around visiting other family members in another part of the world. Accommodation and food costs are minimized because everyone is staying with relatives. An early semblance of Airbnb.
Today, the owner of the apartment isn't necessarily a member of your family and is instead `sharing' (or, more accurately, giving access) with you for a profit. Technology has been the game changer, powering millions and millions of these connections and that too on-demand. The confluence of three factors is driving the access economy into the mainstream:
The access economy will compel every business to rethink their business model, either to stay relevant, or drive more opportunities. Innovation in the access economy will have the following considerations common across all types of businesses:
How soon will established businesses rethink their business models and carve out their roles in this new world? As we innovate to find a place in the shared economy, we will only multiply opportunities and not cannibalize existing businesses. The shared economy holds the promise of democratizing consumerism. Imagine a world where the experience of consuming goods and services is not constrained by your purchasing power. Wouldn't that result in a boom in the markets you serve? If you are watching this development from the sidelines, it is time to jump right in. The access economy is not merely a trend, but a manifestation of the zeitgeist, spurred on by economic factors and the Digital Revolution.

Ministers blocked a plan to introduce a more stringent driving test using computers because of Euroscepticism and fear of alienating young voters, critics claim.
Last week, Steven Norris, the minister for roads, announced that the new theory test, made mandatory by a European Commission directive, would be a pencil and paper multiple-choice questionnaire, instead of the computerised test previously in envisaged.
In February 1994, John MacGregor, then Secretary of State for Transport, promised that the new test would be a "separate form of test that would increase hazard perception" and "take fullest advantage of technological improvements". Hazard perception is the ability to see potential danger which many inexperienced drivers lack.
In announcing the theory test last week, Mr Norris cited computer difficulties and cost in rejecting the more sophisticated test, and stressed that the new test would improve road safety.
Tenderers for the new written test will be given a three-year contract, possibly with an extension of two, which means that a computerised test will not be introduced until 2001 at the earliest.
However, according to unofficial Department of Transport sources, a computer program had been fully developed and would have been ready to use by the deadline of July 1996.
Andrew Howard, the AA's head of road safety, said: "We are very disappointed that the Government has committed itself to a pencil and paper test. It will make passing the test a bit harder, but it does nothing for road safety. People don't have crashes because they are unaware of what a 30mph road sign looks like."
He said he believed ministers had shied away from the computerised test "partly because they did not want to be seen as conforming too readily to European directives".
Rob Gifford, director of the Parliamentary Advisory Committee on Transport Safety, said: "I suspect ministers were worried about introducing a test that many young people would fail ... They have rejected safety for electoral convenience."

Does anyone else remember Phillips the Mapmakers in Victoria Road, North Action? I started there straight from school as a trainee (cartographer). I was only there 6 months before the bright lights and higher wages of banking lured me away (fool that I was), but I remember the factory well - the clocking on and off, the room of light tables I worked in and the aged spinster in charge, the lithography department, the factory in general and all the attendant smells, and the canteen in a wooden construction with a corrugated tin roof, hard up by the railway. I remember a flood during extremely heavy rain, in the road where it went under the railway bridge. I have looked on Google Earth and I am not sure if the building currently on the site is the actual one there when it was Phillips - the Google pics show it as empty and for let but it could be the same one, and when did Phillips shut down? The outbuildings and canteen have long gone! I caught the train from Hounslow West (when it was still the terminus) to North Acton (with a change of line at Acton Town and Ealing Broadway) and walked from North Acton station up the Victoria Road to the Phillips site. It seems quite a hike in retrospect but I don't recall it taking all that long to do the trip. Happy days!

When are guys going to start taking some personal accountability for the inconsistent, and at times down right disappointing way the Chargers have played this season? Yes they win and lose games as a team and individuals alone do not determine outcomes of games; if the team is going to be successful it'll take all eleven guys on the field to be on the same page. They need to play with intensity and passion. They need to be disciplined in their assignments. And they need to make big plays.
In my mind, when you say that you "win and lose as a team," it seems like a convenient way to escape the spotlight of personal accountability. Team sports are comprised of individuals working together doing their jobs. But each player has got to take pride in their work and the job they are doing. Each player has to stand up and take responsibility for what they are doing out there on the football field. It's not about scheme or blocks or coverages, or even Wildcat formations. It's about missed opportunities, bad angles, poor tackling, lack of focus, lack of passion, not having the will to win.
Watching the Chargers, you see guys who don't look excited to be playing professional football. You don't see guys leaving it all on the field. Runs are stopping short without second and third efforts. Catches aren't always being stretched out for. Guys are going for ankles instead of heads; you see Charger defenders on the ground even before the ball carrier is down!
When a team plays physical with the San Diego Chargers, the Chargers struggle to match that intensity. Without Shawne Merriman, who has stepped up to be the team's emotional leader? Maybe the coaching staff needs to set the tone; maybe Norv and Ted need to get into guys' faces a little bit more. Expectations were sky high coming into the season, but at 2-3, those expectations are being tempered significantly. It would be one thing to see the Chargers playing hard and staying in the game for 60 minutes, but week after week we see a team only really competing for a couple of quarters.
I'd like to see guys take a look into the mirror and ask themselves "Am I hurting this team or helping this team?" Everybody needs to ask themselves this question. If you're banged up and can't go, let the guy behind you get the reps. If you don't want to tackle and don't want to make plays, let the next guy get in there and bust heads. You've got to want to win. You've got to have an attitude.
Back in 2007, following a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars which dropped the team to 5-5, an emotional Shawne Merriman spoke to reporters in the locker room and made sure the guys around him heard his words:
"We need to get an attitude, period. We need to get an attitude around here. This game is played with violence. It's played with an attitude. I have no friends out there on the field. I just want to go out there and play football for 60 minutes. You have to go out and play aggressive for 60 minutes. That's how you win a football game. You've got to want it and you've got to hate to lose. That's the way we have to play as a team."
After Merriman's outcry, the team wouldn't lose again all year until falling to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game.

Samie was my public defender 4 years ago. I will never forget him because he went the extra mile in every aspect of my case. He really cares about his clients and wants nothing but the best for them!
Posted by anonymous
I came into Mr. Ata's office on the referral of a friend.
I did not know what to expect. I was in some personal trouble and did not have any previous experiences with the law. Mr. Ata assured me that a case brought against me by someone who I trusted did not have much legal ground, and in fact, this person was at fault!
Not only did Mr. Ata help defend myself successfully, we win a small amount of damages in return!
I can't thank Mr. Ata enough! He wanted to know all the details and seemed like a straight-talker. He helped me out in a tough situation!
Posted by Kelly
I approached Mr. Ata in representing me in a legal malpractice claim. After reviewing my files, Mr. Ata recommended that I contact two other colleagues because the case was to big for his firm. Honest and integrity has gone the way of the almighty dollar, but Mr. Ata reaffirmed that he will be honest about you, your needs, and I have no doubt that he would have worked for me, if my case would have been less complicated.
Posted by Theresa
When I needed an attorney I wanted one that I felt was as passionate about my case and my truth as I was. I am grateful to have found Mr. Ata! Unlike many attorneys I have dealt with in my life, Mr. Ata always listened to me. He made a point of understanding what I was saying. He took my feelings and life situation into consideration at all times. Maybe most importantly, Mr. Ata always treated me with respect and dignity! Mine was a difficult case which took a lot of time and effort. Mr. Atta never stopped. He was constantly working and thinking. It was important to me that my attorney have high morals and integrity and Mr. Ata did! I would trust Mr. Ata with any legal issue I have in the future and would highly recommend him to any potential client!

Another One Bites the Dirt
The first time we visited Manzanita Speedway, we hated the joint. Mind you, we were around 8 years old, but the dirt oval on the west side just seemed so, well, barbaric.
Over the years, weve learned to love the place, because like the Westward Ho, the since-bulldozed Madison Square Garden at Seventh Avenue and Adams, and the old Mecca Lounge on Seventh Street, Manzy is truly a Phoenix treasure. Thats why were super-bummed that the track at 3417 West Broadway Road will be closing its gates after 58 years of action-packed sprint, mini, and modified competitions.
Yep, thats right. No more cheap beer, homemade bean burros, or mud clods in the face. (The owners of Maricopas County only dirt track sold the space to Southwest Crane, who will use the acreage to park its equipment.) So expect a lot of maudlin rednecks when Manzy hosts its final race, the Donnie Davis Memorial featuring Arizona sprint cars, mini-sprints, and midgets.
Boo, hoo.

Thanos: What a Wonderful NightMature
"I-I can't do it!"
Thanos sighed at the scrawny human before him. Dark power pulsed through the man and another human - this one large and imposing, even if he was drunk and terrified - lay on the ground before him. The dark alleyway was a perfect place to exact vengeance but the pathetic man refused to do the dead.
"Look, do you want to avenge your sister or not?" Thanos asked the man. "You sold your soul for this, so you might as well go through with it."
The drunken brute had killed his girlfriend in a rage. The human courts had determined there wasn't enough evidence, but the girl's brother wanted vengeance. He was too weak, though. That was where Thanos had come in.
The scrawny human - Thanos would really have to get better at names - swallowed hard, allowing Thanos to feed off his determination. "You're right!"
The human stalked toward his prey, new resolution shining through the dark powers he possessed. The brute backed away, screaming for mercy. Thanos smiled widely as the dark powers transferred into the victim and imploded, leaving blood and guts along the alleyway.
Thanos gave the human a moment to bask in his vengeance before pulling the soul from his body and walking away. He didn't even stay to see the human fall down lifelessly. He was too preoccupied on the soul he now held in his grasp. So delicious... Yet, it was a disappointment. It was nothing like a soul saturated in emotion like that circus man. This soul had lived an easy life. No excitement, no real pain. It was still a delicacy, of course. One that Thanos devoured instantly.
Ecstasy. Bliss. The soul made his human appearance shimmer and Thanos of the Maelstrom was shown in full. He was not what humans saw demons to be. His skin was white as snow. He had a lack of horns or wings, but gems formed along his arms and body. On his head was a mark. It was that of the Maelstrom clan.
And just as it had appeared, it disappeared. Thanos checked around. None had saw, it seemed. Good. He had to learn control.
Thanos sighed. It was one of the lessers. 'What is it, lowly worm?'
'Our master would like a word with you,' the wyvern said, 'He refuses to listen to our warnings.'
A thought passed through the demons head. He could toy with this man... 'Tell him I shall meet him when the moon hangs high. This might be what I need to digest.' Thanos chuckled. Nothing was better than playing with humans after a meal.
He still had an hour. Might as well make another pact if he could. What a wonderful night.

ST. LOUIS -- On a cloudless, sun-smooched April Sunday -- a day meant for baseball, not mourning -- a father stood outside the black, wrought iron gate on the third-base side of Busch Stadium and tried to explain to his young son why the St. Louis Cardinals wouldn't be playing that evening.
Behind them, a half dozen bouquets of red roses leaned hard against the gate railings. A pair of tethered red and white balloons fluttered in the hot breeze and someone had stuffed their Cardinals fitted ballcap in the opening between the iron bars. On the cap, in black magic marker, was written #32: Josh Hancock's Cardinals jersey number.
Less than 13 hours earlier, on an expressway that runs directly past the stadium, Hancock drove his 2007 Ford Explorer into the back of a parked, 26,000-pound flatbed tow truck. Fate and physics did the rest. He died, said St. Louis Police Chief Joe Mokwa, instantaneously, and only 18 days removed from his 29th birthday.
By late Sunday morning and early afternoon, baseball's most supportive fans began dropping off the flowers and handwritten notes at Gate 3, just beyond the statue of Cardinals legend Stan Musial. Then again, Cardinals fans, and the team they adore, have had much too much practice with grieving.
"RIP #32 Josh Hancock," read one note attached to the plastic pouch holding a handful of roses. "You will be missed -- The Aitken Family."
"We will miss you Josh Hancock," read another note. "You were a great guy and a wonderful pitcher. We all love you. Love -- The Martin Family."
For the second time in less than five years, the Cardinals will bury one of their own. In June 2002 it was veteran pitcher Darryl Kile, who died in a Chicago hotel room of coronary atherosclerosis (the narrowing of the arteries leading to the heart). This Thursday, at a funeral service in Tupelo, Miss., it will be a journeyman reliever whose beaming face can be seen in the framed team photograph hanging just inside the entrance to the Busch Stadium press box. There Hancock is, in the back row, just to the left of third baseman Scott Rolen. The photo was taken inside the St. Louis clubhouse immediately after the Cardinals had won the 2006 World Series and it is a picture of undistilled joy.
On Sunday, however, there was only the numb realization that the line between life and death is much thinner than we'd like to believe. Kile was 33. Hancock was 29. The Cardinals are weary of doing the math.
"The pain our organization feels today is unspeakable," said Bill DeWitt Jr., the team's chairman of the board and general partner.
Hancock was no star. But he was a Cardinal, and better yet, he appreciated being a Cardinal. A night earlier, in a blowout loss to the Chicago Cubs, it was Hancock who pitched three innings of one-run relief. It doesn't sound like much -- garbage time is garbage time -- but it meant something to the men in the Cardinals dugout.
"We didn't get embarrassed yesterday," said manager Tony LaRussa on Sunday, "and that was because of him."
Maybe it was because he signed as a minor league free agent in 2006 after the Cincinnati Reds released him, or because he had spent the better part of 10 years in the minors, but Hancock savored every nanosecond of his time with the Cardinals. He appeared in 62 regular-season games in 2006, made brief appearances in the division and league championship series, made the World Series roster, but didn't pitch against the Detroit Tigers. You should see him in that clubhouse photo, his smile as wide as the pitching rubber, his right forefinger raised happily in the air.
As I was driving to St. Louis on Sunday morning, I heard a guest on KFNS-590 tell a story about Hancock and his World Series share. Hancock, who made $430,000 a season ago, would call his bank's automated phone service just to listen to the computer-generated voice detail his most recent deposit: the $362,173.07 World Series paycheck.
Pure innocence.
The accident investigation isn't complete, but Mokwa, who appeared with LaRussa, DeWitt and Cards general manager Walt Jocketty at Sunday's news conference, said there were no alcoholic containers found in Hancock's vehicle. And the evidence indicates that moments before impact, Hancock tried to swerve away from the tow truck, which was parked with its warning lights flashing in the speed lane while attending to an earlier accident.
"We may never know exactly what happened," Mokwa said.
It was only proper that Sunday evening's game against the Cubs was postponed. A security guard was stationed outside the two glass doors leading into the Cardinals clubhouse as the team held a players/staff-only meeting to share stories and remembrances about Hancock. Afterward, his voice seemingly breaking at times, Jocketty announced the team will wear No. 32 patches on its uniform sleeves and some type of memorial soon will be placed in the Cardinals bullpen.
"Josh had a lot of friends in that clubhouse," Jocketty said.
LaRussa was the last Cardinals official to speak. Remember, it was LaRussa who held his team's hand after Kile's death ("His finest hour," said St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bernie Miklasz). It was LaRussa who made the heartbreaking phone call to Hancock's father in the wee hours of Sunday. And it will be LaRussa who must help his team through yet another devastating human loss.
"Trust me," said LaRussa, "this is brutal to go through."
And then, before he returned to his seat, LaRussa made a small plea on behalf of Hancock's memory -- and his own team.
"Whenever you can, I ask for some help," he said.
For now, the roses will have to do.

I have now four colors of this lip line: barely brown, untainted spice, crazy for coffee, and going greige. I really love this line. The smell is a strong almost a signature "makeup" smell, but I don't mind it. The colors wear great. I do have to re apply every 4-6 hours if I am out running errands, and every 1-2 hours if I'm eating or out at night drinking. However, for the price you can't beat the quality. I just throw them in my purse and I am good to go for the day. Out of all the drugstore brands I always go back to these! Definitely recommend if you need something in the 5$ range!

I have a few of these but only one colour that I actually use shade 107 - 'Fairly Bare.
Its pale petal pink with a very subtle hint of frost not in the colour but evident in the 'feel' of the lipstick which is not very moisturising. Had this been a cream formulation, it would be perfect but I have deducted a lippie for the consistency. Lovely colour though...

I bought the shade Mauve Mania and whilst the colour is quite nice I cannot stand the smell. It's a sickly vanilla scent that takes a long time to get used to. Otherwise the colour payoff is good, a pinky mauve shade (definitely leans more towards pink than purple) that borders on being a bit sheer, would need to reapply a few times throughout the day. It does feel nice and creamy on the lips and is fairly easy to reapply. It did start to feel a bit grainy as the day went on and didn't last all day. The smell is what lets the product down as it's too much to have constantly under your nose.

These are great lipsticks to own.

I would give this product line five lippies if I could, but Maybelline has disappointed me. I have about 12 of these,(some are backups), some discontinued colors such as Summer Sunset, Coral Gleam, Magnificant Mauve and Mauve Mania. Warm Me Up (warm pink) and Plum Perfect (dark plummy red) are great colors on me, so I am glad these are still in the line up. Oh, but wait...these will probably be discontinued if I don't stock up on it! I was looking for another Mauve Mania #450. Has anyone noticed that while the number is the same, the color name was changed to Romantic Rose? Ugh. This isn't mauve. It is a light milky pink. Why, Maybelline? Why do you do this?
I have to add the taste do not bother me but as my lippies get older and worn down, they get bitter tasting. Resulting to buying a back-up color which no longer exists.

I LOVE this lipstick. My mum bought one in the shade hooked on pink, and it's really gorgeous, glides smoothly on your lips. Doesn't dry your lips at all, stays on fairly. it settles into natural pink colour at the end of the day
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I currently own only one lipstick from Maybelline, and it's the Color Sensational shade 140 Intense Pink. I decided to pick it up because I was always curious about Maybelline lippies and I've never tried them, plus I needed a nice subtle everyday color.
It has a plastic dark purple-red cap and a silver bullet, the packaging is not heavy so it doesn't feel very luxurious.
This specific shade is a light pinky nude color, it's actually more pink than nude.
It has a creamy satin finish and it glides on like butter, so it feels pretty moisturizing. It's not very opaque, it's somewhat sheer but it might be that way just because it's a very light color.
It feels extremely light on the lips, so if thats what you like I'd say these would be pretty nice to have. It smells like a typical maybelline lipstick, a slight vanilla scent with a hint of play doh.
The downside is that they do not last very long so you have to reapply them multiple times during the day. However if that's not a big deal for you they should be just fine.
Overall I recommend these. I'll purchase a few more darker colors just to see if they have the same formula.

Wichita had a rash of similar burglaries in December, and in a dang nice part of town. Still unsolved, but seems to have stopped.
This is a discussion on Two odd call outs in a row; something too think about. within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; For two nights in a row now, we have had burglary calls while the people are home.

For two nights in a row now, we have had burglary calls while the people are home. Not just home, but obviously up and about, going about normal early evening activity.
Yesterday, a family was sitting at the dinner table eating, when somebody kicked in a basement door and proceeded to help themselves to items in the home. When confronted, the burglar took off.
The same thing happened the day before, except there was only on person home, a middle aged man working in his home office. The burglar kicked in a side door on this one. The homeowner locked himself in his office and let us chase the burglar away.
Burglary while somebody in the home is somewhat rare, but this is really interesting...and scary. The burglars intent (so far) has not been violent, but he apparently couldn't care less if somebody is home or not. Both cases, it was very obvious that people were inside.
I find it interesting as it's not a 'home invasion' style, not a cat burglar. Who knows what going on in this dude's head.

I'm not a lawyer or a LEO, just a pantload with a computer.
That takes balls.
I couldn't see that happening around here for very long at all.
Someone that has no concerns about someone being home when they break in is a very dangerous human being that doesn't care if he lives or not.

That is scary. I often think about what would happen if someone just busted in my house in the middle of the day, especially with a toddler running all over the place, or even standing at the doors looking out the windows.
When they don't seem to care it's hard to think of a good response.

It might not take long before he breaks into the wrong house and the owner is prepared to deal with him. Maybe the third strike and he will be out.

When they don't seem to care... there is only one good response and it ain't pretty.When they don't seem to care it's hard to think of a good response.
If you let them go, statistical evidence says that they'll be back and they might be better prepared the second time around.

The last one could have been the right house. The homeowner does have a permit, I dont think he was carrying at the time though.
Both homes are in a very nice neighborhood and in a nice part of town.

What's the weather like in Ohio? At least one burglar isn't waiting to get frost bite. Maybe an unattended door will do for smash-and-grab when it's high temps in the 20's.
It sure is a sign of the times FOR SURE Another good reason to carry at home!!
A Native Floridian = RARE
Some folks think it is crazy to carry at home. Let someone get you in your house, out of public view. I don't think so. I bet the guy that locked himself in his office is considering carrying while at home.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
What are they taking? Curious for sure, is it something simple are they staying long or just grabbing and going, I know you mentioned the owner waited for you folks to chase him off, what was the response time, did he stay long inside the residence. I'm just wondering if these are quick grab and go robberies where they figure no one will have a chance to do anything to them before they are in and out with anything in eyesight or maybe this dang druggies are just that dang high on the crap and don't care anymore.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
My wife doesn't understand why I carry around the house...she says "we live in a nice neighborhood." My response was, "think like a BG...if you were going to risk getting caught to break in a house, would you break into a house in a nice neighborhood where they would appear to have valuable stuff or a not so nice neighborhood where they may not have much?" It was like a light coming on. Sheeple either can't or don't understand the thought processes of BGs...which may be why they lack SA and find themselves in bad situations. Of course, bad situations can find anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

Your Roommate's Girlfriend
When Should You Start Charging Her For Rent?
Page 3 of 3Some points of clarification: If a girlfriend or boyfriend lives in an apartment full time (i.e. isn't renting another place of their own), they should pay a full share of bills and rent. Most people have different expectations for living with couples than for living with roommates who have significant others. Live-in significant others come with their own set of space demands, social baggage and expectations for how common space is used. (My first project, the SplitTheRent calculator, advises you on how to split rent between couples living with roommates.)
There is also an important trust/honesty issue here. Good roommates need to be upfront with each other if a girlfriend or boyfriend starts living in full time, and concealing this or simply not saying this is an abuse of the roommate relationship.
Lastly, this discussion ignores any non-bill items, like shared groceries, that the partner might consume. Of course, either the roommate or their partner should make sure that they are paying two shares instead of one on any item like groceries.
Sample InformationWe analyzed 104 respondents who clicked on a survey link from within the interface of Splitwise.com. 90% of my respondents were between ages 18-30, and 71% came from the U.S., 14% from Australia, and 15% from other countries. The average personal rent (not total apartment rent) was $588/month. 57% of respondents split their rent equally per person, while 43% did not. The data was collected over about six weeks spanning some of June, July and August. The original survey can be viewed here.

"The wooded areas around here should be enough to keep me out of sight." There was one such place just across the way from his house, but directly in his way was a bright street lamp. He would have to make a huge loop around it to keep from getting in direct light, or he could just run for it. Test his new legs and arms on all fours and see how this useful this body of his was.
Taking a breath, he stood on all fours and started on a small trot towards the other side of the street. If he could make it that far, he could keep going. Picking up his pace, his claws scrapped against the concrete and soon he was moving at a quicker pace. Even with how his body was built, he couldn't grasp any rhythm to make himself move faster, but he crossed under the lamplight and made it away quickly.
Peeking behind him, his house wasn't too far away but already he felt like he was leaving the place behind in a way he didn't want to. "As long as I'm still me under this fur…"
Crossing the tree line of the wooded area, he found the place was more than just a spot to hide from patrolling police cars. It was a treasure trove of scents as well. He could smell the remnants of a recently dead mouse under the dirt, some of the mushrooms growing on the downed trees, and used cigarettes from what he was sure were kids coming here to smoke in private. Catching a whiff of the contents of the butts nearly made him gag as he licked his teeth but he quickly moved on, keeping within the center of the area.
As he continued to explore however, another thought occurred to him. The one that attacked him was still out here, somewhere in this city. He had no idea where but remembered that the werewolf had struck twice in the same location. Thinking he could find the scent of the one that attacked him so he would know who it was, the idea of walking that far and risking exposing himself seemed far too great of a risk. He had been lucky just now with the officer and the bush, and didn't want to risk that again so soon on his first night as a werewolf.
With his mind back on exploring, he thought about where to go next. There were several local parks in the neighborhood, but only two of those were ones he visited on a regular basis. The closest one to him was the one he always walked Bailey at, although it stayed open for use well into 10:00 at night. Encountering regular folks instead of police seemed less nerve wracking, but he would have to put on an act as a dog to keep himself from suspicion.
Heading out towards the park on the sidewalks, Alex had his head held low to start the disguise, and his body moving on all fours. Slowly, he began to get used to walking that way, even with his legs being longer than his arms. In this form, it felt at least somewhat natural but every time he looked ahead and saw no one around him, he wanted to jump back to his hind legs and just run like a human. The new scents he found as he kept his head low encouraged him to stay that way.

Where I stayed
Ickes place
At the El Paradiso hotel we were told that some of us had to go and stay in another hotel. All of us who were sharing twin rooms had to go, and we were promised that it would be as nice, but of course it wasn't. The beds are comfortable and it's clean, but the hotel has few facilities in comparison and is a very cheap alternative! They don't serve meals, so we have to take taxis back and forth to the El paradise. To say that we were not happy was a bit of an understatement but we negotiated a deal to include 2 breakfasts and a dinner in compensation.

Kentland Crater - According to the Earth Impact Database, the Kentland, Indiana impact crater is approximately 13 km in diameter. It is not only one of the larger US impact sites, it is one of the younger, at <97 million years old. The structure is exposed to the surface as well, though recent (Pleistocene) glacial deposits overly some of the sedimentary target rocks.
Evidence of Impact Origin
The impact origin of each location listed on this website has been supported by unambiguous diagnostic evidence of hypervelocity impact that has been reported in a scientific (usually peer reviewed) context. Without such evidence, a geological structure is not a confirmed impact crater. This section, which is included for each crater on this website, is not an exhaustive list of such published evidence, but is meant to demonstrate that appropriate work has been done for each listing.

Tick Tock, On The Clock
Her chest has been brutally ripped open,
Bleeding oil and smelling of smoke.
You can see the worn gears
Twisting and turning slowly,
The ragged metal edges bordering the
Wound sharp from being torn apart.
Her machine heart refusing to give up.
Perhaps she won't survive,
But a Clockwork Princess is tough,
She won't die so easily.

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) Mc A man convicted in the 1996 fatal shooting of a fisherman in eastern Oklahoma was put to death Thursday as Buddhist monks chanted inside the execution chamber.
Donald Ray Wackerly, 41, received a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary and was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m.
A converted Buddhist, Wackerly requested that two spiritual advisers witness his death. Wackerly and the monks both repeatedly recited a six-syllable chant — "om mani padme hum" — during the execution. Wackerly's attorneys also joined in the chant.
One of Wackerly's attorneys described it as a "mantra of ultimate compassion."
As part of an agreement with prison officials, Wackerly's spiritual adviser was allowed to remain inside the death chamber and perform several rituals on his corpse.
Wackerly was convicted in the shooting death of 51-year-old Pan Sayakhoummane (sy-ak-hoo-MAHN'-ee) during a robbery in Sequoyah County.
The Laos native from Fort Smith, Ark., was shot between seven and nine times with a .22-caliber rifle in the head, back, chest, arm, wrist and hand. His body was found the next day in his partly submerged pickup in the Arkansas River.
Wackerly maintained his innocence and claimed he was set up by his wife, who was granted immunity from prosecution and testified against Wackerly during his murder trial.
"I did not kill him ... I did not shoot Mr. Sayakhoummane," Wackerly told members of the state's Pardon and Parole Board during a clemency hearing last month.
Wackerly and his then-wife, Michelle, who lived in nearby Muldrow, drove to the Arkansas River on Sept. 7, 1996, allegedly so that Wackerly could find someone to rob, court documents show. The pair came upon Sayakhoummane, a Laos native from Fort Smith, Ark., who had been fishing along the Arkansas River.
Wackerly was arrested about three months after Sayakhoummane's death when his estranged wife, who claimed to be a witness, went to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
She described the events surrounding the victim's murder and the theft of his tackle box and other items that were later pawned.

Non Homeopathic hCG Pharmaceutical hCG ONLY!
Phone/Email Support with a hCG Diet Doctor, Nurse or Coach
We all have them; we all reside in them, but do our comfort zones hinder our growth?
This is the time of year when our New Year's resolutions start to waiver a bit, or fall apart completely. Our diet and exercise plan, or some other form of change, is becoming uncomfortable and the desire to go back to what you know is overwhelmingly appealing. But that wasn't the goal. The goal was to change or effect change. How do you keep motivated when your goal is becoming uncomfortable to achieve.
Watching "Yes Man" with Jim Carry, we see in the moments he steps out of his zone and changes his attitude, things start changing in his life. He tries new things, takes on new challenges; some of the things he experiences he enjoys, and others not so much, but because he is bound to saying yes, he does them nonetheless. As the movie goes along he endures trials and tribulations, good moments and bad, but the point is, once he decided to say YES, his life changed. Good or bad, he stepped out of his comfort zone, finding he enjoyed things outside the comfort zone he created.
But that was a movie and this is real life, and real life isn't perfect, but really, neither is the comfort zone you build. A comfort zone lulls you into thinking you are living your life when in fact, the goals you have set are not being reached. By breaking your comfort zone, things will get uncomfortable; family and friends won't understand, and you may have moments of regret. But if you push through it, allowing yourself a new experience, life will surprise you.
So how do you stay out of your comfort zone, stay motivated and reach your goal? If you search Amazon for motivation, you will find 13,004 books on the subject. Or search Google, and you will find 65,800,000 million sites on the subject as of this writing. Granted, it is important to keep feeding yourselves with new thoughts and ideas to keep motivation going, but buying every book and visiting every site on the subject can be pretty daunting!
These are a few simple tricks I use to keep myself motivated and focused on the hCG diet. These things are transferable to any goal and are in no particular order.
• Everyday look themselves in the mirror for five minutes and say, "I will reach my goal, I will loss weight and I will not cheat." If you can't convince yourself, you will never convince anyone else.
• Search the Internet for pictures of body types like yours that have lost weight. The diet they followed isn't as important as the body type. If they have fat places or are shaped like you and they did it, your mind sees it can be done. Even do a Photo shop and replace your head with theirs.
• Read stories of others on the hCG diet, and converse with other hCG dieters via forums (hCG Diet Journey will soon have their forum up and running), IM, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or other social networking sites.
• Download ooVoo to video chat with hCG diet buddies, free for up to six people. And you can download Skype, which is also free for video chatting with other users. Finding a buddy can help you keep accountable, and each can inspire and motivate each other.
• Set goals and reward yourself.
• Lyrics in music often motivate.
• There are services you can subscribe to for motivational quotes and inspiration delivered to your e-mail. BUT you must read them to get the motivation out of them. Subscribing to them isn't enough.
1 Nightingale Conant
2 Chicken Soup for the Soul
3 Dream This Day
• Write out your goals and read them aloud or to yourself, 3x three times a day.
• Visualize yourself as you want to be, at the weight you want, and the something special you will do when you reach your goal. At night before you go to bed, visualize your story as you want it. Sit quietly and just put all the things you want in that visualization, and keep it there. Don't let anything negative come in, don't let any other thought come in, just your focus on what you want the outcome to be. Shakti Gwain has an excellent book on not only how to visualize, but the power of visualization. One key, as some people are not visual; you don't have to see the images, you can feel what you want is happening.
• Above all, immerse yourself in the process, and above all, believe.
• These are just a few things to help you stay motivated and out of your old hindering comfort zone.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1344) Make the Lucene jar an OSGi bundle
|Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:17:44 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1344?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12628370#action_12628370 ] Nicolas Lalevée commented on LUCENE-1344: ----------------------------------------- bq. Nicolas, does this mean we need to maintain the new META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, manually? Ie on each release go edit it & bump up the versions in there? (We need to update the wiki to this effect too) in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, only the Export-Package header is important to maintain. The other headers will never change or will be overrided by the build system. The other headers are also there for the users (aka me) that have imported the Lucene source in Eclipse and are willing to use it as an OSGi bundle. bq. There are quite a few "copies" of version in there, and for example we have Bundle-Version: 2.4.0.dev and then Specification-Version: 2.4.0-dev - is that right? (Ie, one uses "." and the other uses "-"). About the different version schemes, yep, this is yet another one to maintain. The version number taken into account in a OSGI environment is "Bundle-Version", I don't know what the header "Specification-Version" is used for. I tried to refactor a little bit in the build system to generate the version numbers, but I failed, a more bigger patch would be needed (I am willing to do some if needed). bq. I was able to generate a release candidate using your command above. What command would be used to generate the actual release? (Ie, what to specify for version, spec.version and bundle.version?). It will be just about adding the OSGi version to the current used command line: {noformat} ant -Dversion=2.3.0 -Dbundle.version=2.3.0.final clean dist dist-src generate-maven-artifacts {noformat} bq. OK I'm a little confused by this. What does "cr1" mean? it would mean "candidate release 1". Not very english but it is the best we found when [discussing about it|http://firstname.lastname@example.com%3E] for Ivy. bq. And, while I can see the lexicographic sort order, your first case (2.3.0 < 2.3.0rc1) seems backwards because 2.3.0rc1 ("release candidate 1") arrives before 2.3.0 (this is the released 2.3.0 right?) in time, whereas in the 2nd case those releases are in time order. I'm confused. That was exactly my point. Due to the way OSGi orders the versions, if the release candicate version number is 2.3.0.rc1, and the final version is 2.3.0.final, then OSGi will understand that 2.3.0.final is previous to 2.3.0.rc1, which is wrong. In the second case, if the release candidate number is 2.3.0.cr1, then OSGI will be right and will order the different Lucene version as expected. You could also choose 2.3.0.rc1 and 2.3.0.zfinal but then it is a question of taste :) bq. Sorry for the silly questions - I know very little about OSGi bundles! your questions are welcomed Michael ;) > Make the Lucene jar an OSGi bundle > ---------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1344 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1344 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build > Reporter: Nicolas Lalevée > Fix For: 2.4 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1344-r679133.patch, LUCENE-1344-r690675.patch, LUCENE-1344-r690691.patch, MANIFEST.MF.diff > > > In order to use Lucene in an OSGi environment, some additional headers are needed in the manifest of the jar.

This would be my preference as well (with another method to access the IntermediateResponse too).
But I would add other convenient methods like:
- boolean nextEntry();
- boolean nextReferral();
- boolean nextIntermediate();
- boolean previousEntry();
- boolean previousReferral();
- boolean previousIntermediate();
This methods would allow the user to jump to the next/previous object of their choice easily.
For example, this snippet would allow the user to get all entries from a search cursor in a much nicer way than today:

Other methods to know what is the type of the current object in the cursor would also be useful like:
- boolean isCurrentEntry();
