Coffee, LIVE music or casual lunch at a pub.
Maybe an outdoor concert sharing a blanket on the lawn, then maybe a walk along the river and then ending the evening with an ice cream cone. And if all went well a light kiss goodnight!
anywhere but the movies....u cant really get to know someone staring at a screen
I'm pretty open but definitely somewhere where we can talk and get to know eachother.
Go out and have dinner and get acquanted.
i nice setting where we can have fun talk and get to know each other
How about a slice from a local pizza joint and we support the local music scene. Maybe a few cocktails if that's your thing.
would like to go out to a nice resturant and go for awalk after
Something fun. :) concerts, theme parks, movies, etc. I'm not hard to please.
I would love to take you out and show you what I have to offer
Go to a concert or a movie I love music so anything with that Im happy.
Since I'm a huge fan of music and coffee shops, I think that would be perfect to hang out there and get to know each other. I am also into spontaneous things, so I would be happy with anything!
The first date should be quick and easy... A drink, a baseball game, a walk with my dog...

Between the axe and the grinderMature
Sarah looked through the data she gathered. None of it was any kind of proper hacker intrusion combat system. It was all poorly done half finished concepts... concepts that had been tried, tested and kind of proven to be stupid.
Frank was driving their transport through some maze that only he was able to really look at and see. It looked like an endurance test at this point for him. Will they make a break he can escape through or will he run out of fuel and endurance?
Sarah was cursing herself on this matter. She was getting on the net through her own alternative means--she had a Mesh Network she had set up. Using her own cell phone towers... well, cell phones part of the collective. Terror Net is what it is called. It wasn't hard to join up in--and was generally a better way onto the Internet than the local telco.
Sarah tried the local telco for her internet connection... it was terrible. The issues she had with Terror Net seemed to be mildly irritating compared to the local telco.
She was looking for her employer. Tracking down this guy who had paid them for the military contractors ICE. She was going to get all the contact information--and figure out if he was a pawn, or if he was part of this organisation.
This was her current goal.
Jerry was mostly just providing look out for stuff that didn't require a video feed to see. Jerry pulled Sarah's shoulders a bit and she felt a whistle going along her.
They were getting closer. As our delinquents were getting shot at.
Frank shouts out, "drones! God damned drones--they are sending the drones towards us!"
Sarah just focused on getting their employer's contact information--most of which now had background processes handling automated entrance attempts.
Jerry was shaking her around by quite a bit. Sarah took off her helmet and looked up at the drones. A bullet hits the vehicle seat next to her. It was a rubber bullet.
They were being made into scape goats. Our delinquents had been hired to be roasted.
Sarah was getting angry--she put her helmet on--some of the automated background searches on their contact had gotten a lot more stuff. She typically did not do this, as this was typically found to be rude. It would have them getting less people hiring them. Safety does have a bit of a price of not being as useful to do anything.
Risk is kind of required.
Sarah looks over the local wireless traffic... and these were not drones... well, not automated drones. They were being remote controlled. These drones were also... running... the standard desktop operating system.
It wasn't any kind of specific firmware--it wasn't any kind of server or anything.
It was literally the standard security hole filled desktop operating system running these things--and the controls being done via remote adminstration works... which while it wasn't being relayed over clear text--the encryption was incredibly weak. Nothing too weak to bring up read flags about it being an obvious trap. Just middle of the road shoddy worksmanship.
Sarah starts loading up her bot net generation software. I mean--why bother doing any kind of proper software thing to test and blah blah blah. The bot net generator produced some zombie processes to jump into the drones. Sarah jumps onto dash board for the bot talking to the IRC channel they logged into.
Sarah pulls up all the signals to watch what they were doing... and well, it is time to cut off the other people from getting into these remote controlled fighters. Setting autoboot onto any signal not validating itself as her... and making new accounts and deleting the old ones.
Oh shoot... and patching the operating system on these remote fighters. So they don't try to break into them. Doing a quick hardware scan to see if I cannot put a custom operating system onto these remote fighters. Let's have them look like they are still doing their job to all those around them.
Sarah looked over at her display to see who hired them. Juniper Baker was the person who hired them. She had images of her--and what her employment history was... and yeah... she is pretty much the local Human Resources Director of this... Military Contractor.
Frank stopped. Sarah pulled off her helmet. They were surrounded by several personnel. Guns at Frank's head.
Then Juniper Baker was walking up--a camera remote operator was following her. "No comment... we have put a large effort into our hiring process and revamping it to see if we cannot find any more divergant criminal elements somehow sneaking into our company."
Sarah quickly glances into her computer pot. Some fuzzy stuff about a remote fighter that has a good shot at Juniper. This was just a good coincident that this remote fighter happened to be able to pull this. Sarah subtly hits a few things... and a rubber bullet strikes down around Juniper. Juniper and a couple of the military security dude people were taken down. Very unaware--and unexpected to all those around them.
Frank punches it while they were periodically distracted.
Sarah would have to explain this in a bit, but pulls the helmet down, and proceeds to have the remote drones work as aid to their local crew. Having stolen this large amount of drones would have had them work out better than if she had gotten paid.
Frank pulls off the local compound. And then punches it down the street. Sarah makes a connection to her employer for this job... not letting them know she knew what the whole thing was about, saying the job was complete. Let's not tip our hand about what we knew on this matter. Also--the fact the drones were taken would get her being hired a bit more.
However, the heat on them would be quite a bit on them as well.
Sarah had the drones fly down under a bridge that she knew gave bad GPS information. Her visual feed was mostly how she navigated them there. By landmarks and not by any kind of tracking system. Eventually taking them into a maintainence tunnel, until the signal died.
Frank tore off down the road to their safe house for when jobs go bad.
Which seemed to be happening more and more often.
Jerry was just standing on top of the vehicle--surfing if you will. He states over the CB radio we couldn't use on the job, "it almost seems like we are being preemed to be the next big villains of society."
Sarah replies back, "It is either be the big bad guy... or die... it seems to be the only way to success."
Jerry growls over the head set, "that irritates me to levels you cannot even begin to fathom. Hurting people so as to create a monster to allow you to terrify people into being hurt?"
Sarah answers, "well... having gotten these drones--I think I have a few ideas for a couple raids to make on these organisations."
Frank shouts into his CB radio not quite cluing in Sarah is next to him, "wait... that wasn't a misfire? Or my clever evasion? You were in control of those?!?"
Sarah replies on the CB radio to let Jerry in on the conversation, "They had news crews on us... had to add some good stuff to it, so they'd not clue in on it right away. Hell--they probably haven't even quite clued in what happened with the drones."
Jerry states over the CB radio, "That... was really gutsy Sarah. Seriously... the size of your balls is enough to have their own gravitational pull."
Sarah giggles, "Yeah... the news feeds are stating the remote drones position systems were off. I'm going to play up on those bugs a bit more."
Jerry states over the CB radio, "Well... perhaps us being the big villains might do the world some good?"
Frank pulls up into the safe house suddenly. Keeping the engine running a bit--not turning it off. Frank goes over the CB Radio, "yeah... no... not bothering with the safe house for now. We are going to the local pub."
Sarah shouts into the CB radio in confusion, "wait... what?"
Jerry's line went open--but nothing was said.
Frank laughs, "may as well be grand about it all. Let's not hide. Let's keep going."
Sarah pulls in the radio again, "In that case, drop me by the GPS disappearance tunnel. I'm going to do some box mods."
Jerry adds further, "drop me off with Sarah. Go... celebrate with a drink. Sarah will celebrate her own way... and I will meditate on what all this means."
Frank revs up the engine--then pulls out of the safe house quickly as possible.
Our group of delinquents appeared to have gotten a bit of a direction in life that perhaps nobody expected them to take. However, all should have known was a likely path for a group of delinquents to go.
You're welcome--I know how to pick a group of delinquents, do I not?

Doctor Limos (?Human?) and Mister Poros (Human)
Doctor Limos stood in front of his boss' office. The door was a solid wooden oak one. The door knob was a rather nice and solid gold plated one. Doctor Limos still felt a little bit odd when he touched it. After all this time. He turns it. Breathes in and enters.
"Ah, Jim--how goes the battle?"
"Well--we are well into a river of hate here. It was a human that helped the vampyrs escape."
"It is all good and well. Their being here, would have lead to somebody attacking us."
"We are into a political battle now, Dad."
Mister Limos looks down and to the side, "I have talked to the marketing department. We cannot forget this. We cannot burn this away. We may end up dealing with a lot of wailing and crying. The alternatives are a lot of pain. We need to ford through this hate people have put up. Maybe a bridge can be made--but not any time soon."
"Right--though--I still kind of consider the marketing department light in their sandals."
"Who better to help guide them through this river of hate?"
Doctor Limos presses a few buttons on his HTC, before looking up and sighing, "The records of the 'human' who helped out the vampyrs has been put into restricted the information list. She really does not need the crap she will get from it."
Mister Poros lifts up a photo he kept face down on his desk. It was a black faced girl. One that Doctor Limos had came to love. Doctor Limos pulled out his wife's locket--looking at it, "sometimes, you need to lose a few battles in order to really be able to lead a fight."

Beautiful Brown Eyes
I saw from the stage,
Those beautiful brown eyes,
And that convincing smile,
It was enough to fall into that trap again,
So I stood away,
Watching the moves you made,
Wondering; is this a mistake?
But those brown eyes,
Go with that sweet sweet personality,
Everything needed,
So I fell in with you.
I've known you now for about two weeks,
I can't note the little mistakes,
Because overall you seem so beautiful,
Good with my mother,
You charm my sister,
Everything that pleases me.
It's a bright new future for us,
We're best friends, but maybe more…
You're handsome,
And beautiful,
You're perfect,
So irresistible to me.
I fell in that trap.

It is with a very sad heart that I have to announce China's departure for the Bridge this morning. She was an old, old girl at 10-1/2 years and was becoming quite creaky. Having said that, she still had a good quality of life and the pain meds relieved the aches and pains of arthritis.
However, last night China had a heart attack and was clearly a very sick dog. My husband and China's dearest daddy took her to the vet this morning and it was clear that we had arrived at the end of the road for her. She passed to the Bridge peacefully in her daddy's arms.
We are devastated that our precious girl has gone. I know the pain of grief will grow less as the days pass but we will never, ever forget this beautiful dog who overcame such an horrendous start in life.
Bless you darling, always in our hearts.

UPDATE 1-Glencore in talks on agriculture assets -sources
* Glencore hopes to close deal by early next year
* Banker says Canadian pension fund CPPIB interested
* Sources say Japanese trade houses also interested (Adds details, background; changes story title to GLENCORE-AGRICULTURE)
By Sarah McFarlane, Euan Rocha and Clara Denina
LONDON/TORONTO, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Glencore is in talks with a Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund and China's state-backed grain trader COFCO, along with Canadian pension funds, to sell a stake in its agricultural assets, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Selling assets is one prong of a wider strategy by the Swiss-based trader and miner to cut about a third of its $30 billion debts and regain investor trust, after its shares tumbled by about three-quarters this year to record lows in tandem with weak global commodity prices.
Glencore declined to comment while COFCO was not immediately available to comment.
Last month Glencore said it was hoping to raise $2 billion from selling assets including a minority stake in its agriculture assets by early next year. The sources did not say the likely size of the stake being sold or the likely amount it would raise.
UBS analyst Myles Allsop has valued Glencore's entire agriculture business at between $10 and $12 billion. Continued...

Mark-Ye-Well (1949-1970) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred and raced by Calumet Farm, he was sired by their five-time North American Champion Sire, Bull Lea. Mark-Ye-Well was out of Mar-Kell, the Calumet Farm's excellent racing mare who was the 1943 American Champion Older Female Horse.
Trained by the father and son team of Ben and Jimmy Jones, Mark-Ye-Well was ridden by Eddie Arcaro in most all of his major races. At age two, the colt had to be taken out of training as a result of a stifle joint problem and did not return to racing until February 1952. Brought back slowly, the then three-year-old colt did not compete in any of the 1952 U.S. Triple Crown races, but by mid-year had developed into one of the top runners in his age group in the United States, winning important races such as the Arlington Classic, American Derby, and the Lawrence Realization Stakes.
Mark-Ye-Well was sent to race in California in 1953 where he won the Santa Anita Maturity, the San Fernando Stakes, and the State's richest and most important race, the Santa Anita Handicap. His win in the Santa Anita Handicap was the first for Calumet Farm after three previous tries. He then was sent to compete in the Eastern United States but developed a quarter crack that hampered his performance.
Sent back to start the 1954 racing season in California, the five-year-old Mark-Ye-Well won the San Antonio and San Marcos Handicaps. At Chicago's Arlington Park he won the Stars and Stripes Handicap and the Laurance Armour Memorial Handicap.
He was retired to stud duty at Calumet Farm beginning with the 1956 season. Less than successful, Mark-Ye-Well sired only three stakes winners until being sold to breeders in Scandinavia.

Mac Miller and Donald Trump have been beefing for a minute now. Back in 2013, the country's current leading Republican candidate threatened to sue the Pittsburgh native rapper for illegally using his name as a title of a song that went viral. To this day, the track's music video has garnered over 100M views on YouTube.
Initially, Donld Trump showed love to Mac Miller in an August 2012 interview.
"A lot of people are calling me about the Mac Miller rap song. Now, it's named 'Donald Trump.' Maybe you should pay me a lot of money, but it just did over 20 million people, tuning into Mac Miller. So in one way, I'm proud of him. I haven't actually seen the language, it's a little hard to understand on the song itself. Probably, it's not the cleanest language you've ever heard, but this kid is the new Eminem. Everybody says he's fantastic. Let's see what it is. But the 'Donald Trump' song just hit over 20 million, that's not so bad. I'm very proud of him."
Then, Donald Trump switched sides on the subject by dissing Mac Miller in January 2013 on Twitter.
"Little @macmiller, you illegally used my name for your song 'Donald Trump' which now has over 75 million hits," Little @macmiller, I want the money not the plaque you gave me! Little @macmiller, I'm now going to teach you a big boy lesson about lawsuits and finance. You ungrateful dog! Little @macmiller — I have more hair than you do and there's a slight age difference."
It looks like there's still bad blood between the two.

The Four Sorcerers
Silvernist made it to the cave with much struggling and pain. When she reached up for help, Azura took her hand and pulled her up onto the surface. She tripped on the way, but the woman helped her become steady and still.
"Be careful!" She said with a smile. Silvernist smiled back.
"My name is Silvernist."
"I know. I am Azura. One of the Four Sorcerers," the woman replied. Her voice was just as beautiful as she looked.
"Four Sorcerers?" Silvernist asked.
"I see Danielle has told you nothing." Azura chuckled and glanced at Danielle who looked away. Once everyone made it into the cave, questions piled in their head about this strange meeting with two unfamiliar people. Silvernist stared at the man with green hair. At least she was not the only person in the world with strange hair. His eyes turned to her.
"Silverwitch," he said. He knelt on one knee and bowed his head. Silvernist felt her face flush.
"I am Stefan. The youngest of the Four Sorcerers and brother of Azura."
"Stefan! Stop that!" Azura snapped at him. He looked at her quizzically.
"She is one of Mystra's! Therefore we need to bow!" He exclaimed. Azura looked at her brother in surprise. He could act dumb sometimes but he had manners. She hesitated before following his position as well.
"Forgive me for my behavior, Silvernist." Silvernist stood before them uncomfortably and speechless.
"You are here." They turned to their left to see two men dressed in robes also.
"I am Salvador." Salvador was the tallest of them all. And the oldest.
"I am Tamas." The other man said. King Timothy stepped forward with his head held high.
"I am King Timothy," he announced so formally.
"We know that," Salvador said. Timothy looked at them surprised.
"Anyway, we are so glad you are here," he greeted Silvernist. For a second, he stared at the monkey and then he turned away.
"Come in. All of you," Tamas said. Silvernist looked at everyone before walking inside. Danielle walked beside her and the others followed.
"Stefan," Azura whispered to her brother. "Mystra is still not here."
"I know... I do hope she comes soon," Stefan replied.
They soon came to the end of the cave where Silvernist saw a glowing pillar in the middle of the room. On top of it was a plate where there were two very beautiful stones.
"Oooo, what are those?" Ariana gazed at them in wonder.
"Do not touch them. Only the hands of a magical being is allowed," Tamas told her. She looked at him and then turned back to admire the glimmering stones.
"They are magical opals," Ariana told them.
"What do you need them for?" Silvernist asked. Standing beside Sir Lorando, they watched the sparkling colors ripple across the surfaces.
"We made them to use against Aviel," Salvador said. Silvernist swung around to look at him.
"Aviel? You know him?" He nodded. He began walking around the pillar and then stopped.
"These opals are made of severe, powerful magic that are able to destroy Aviel. Even if he has the power of the black opal. But we do not have enough of this power to defeat him. Which is why Danielle was summoned to summon you." The sorcerer's eyes stared intensely into her's. "She brought you here for you to summon a Hoarfrost which is the source of this power. I believe only you can."
"That is correct." Salvador averted his stare to the entrance. Silvernist looked as well to see an angelic woman. Her long white hair flowed in the breeze and her violet eyes sparkled when she looked at her. Four other tall figure stood behind her looking very angelic as well. They had silver hair.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 13, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas 4A New Braunfels Herald Zeitung Wednesday. February 13, 1985 Tom Loeffler praises Reagan's choice of negotiators Hwrald-Zeitung pinions Dave Kraatr, General Manager Hobart Johaioi, Editor Guest viewpoint Reagan chooses strong team By TOM LOEFFLER U.S. R«p. Dlst. 21 President Reagan believes that there is no more important goal to be achieved during his second term than to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons. To underscore the importance he places on this issue, the president chose to meet early on the first official working day of his second term with the three Americans he has charged with pursuing the goal of true arms control. The negotiating team, whih begins discussions with the Soviet Union in Geneva on March 12, is composed (rf individuals who bring a unique blend of substantive diplomatic and political acumen to the bargaining table. It is a bipartisan team which offers the skills necessary to achieve their goal. Heading the team is Max Kam-pelman, noted lawyer and seasoned negotiator, who will lead discussions on space weaponry. Senior Foreign Service Officer Maynard Glitman will lead the talks on reducing intermediate range weapons. And, leading negotiations on the reduction of strategic weapons is the former senior senator from our own state of Texas, John Tower, who chaired the Senate Armed Services Committee until his retirement in January. As one who first came to Washington to work for Senator Tower — and who considers him both a mentor and close friend — I know personally of the unique and exceptional strength he brings to the team. John Tower's intimate knowledge of weapon systems, his firm deter mination to protect our nation's military strength and his much-recognized military expertise, honed over 24 years in the Senate, will prove invaluable assets in the months ahead. More than any other negotiator, John Tower's name sends a clear signal to the Soviet Union — and to the world — that the United States, while seeking genuine reductions in arms, will grant no concessions that might jeopardize our nation's security. Furthermore, as a realistic skeptic on arms control agreements of the past, John Tower's support of any final agreement would be a clear indication that the President's goals are attainable. As we proceed, it must be with the clear understanding that the negotiating process will be lengthy. Due to today's increasingly-sophisticated weapons technologies, the problem confronting the negotiators is how to accurately verify that both sides are in compliance with agreed-upon reductions. Additionally, I do not believe that it is in our nation's best interests to even consider unilaterally abandoning such systems as the MX or our research into the Strategic Defense Initiative — as some suggest. These weapons advances are what brought the Soviets to the bargaining table. To abandon them now would give the Soviets what they want and would give us nothing in return. Only by negotiating from a position of strength can be ensure that it is in the Soviet's best interests to reduce — and eventually eliminate — their nuclear arsenals.

Mac Sweeney (Guadalupe County) U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C., 20515 Jack Anderson Powers want U.S.-Soviet youth to lead them WASHINGTON — In a move that could lead to better Soviet-American relations, President Reagan and Chairman Konstantin Chernenko have approved the idea of establishing ties between America's Young Astronauts and Russia's Young Cosmonauts. This raises new hope that by exchanging visits and sharing dreams, Young Astronauts and Young Cosmonauts might lead the way to peaceful cooperation in space In behalf of the Young Astronaut Council, I wrote a letter to Chernenko proposing affiliation. I pleaded that we are passengers together on a great spaceship called Earth, which cannot be broken into pieces, with the Soviet Union and the United States assigned separate orbits. The letter was hand-carried to Moscow last month by my daughter Tanya. Two weeks later, the Soviet Embassy called to report that Chernenko had read the letter and that his response was "positive." Then the Soviet diplomat inquired cordially, ''Did Tanya enjoy her visit to the Soviet Union?" I said she had a glorious time and had come home favorably impressed. ''Too bad she doesn't write the column," retorted the Russian, with a chuckle. What are the next steps? First, I have invited the Young Cosmonauts, with White House approval, to send a delegation to watch a space launching and tour our space facilities. "From this small beginning," I wrote, "1 look forward to the day that our astronauts and your cosmonauts will explore the vast cosmos together. We are merely scratching the surface of knowledge so profound, so illimitable, so beyond our present understanding that we should waste no time nor energy on petty disputes." Second, each Young Astronaut will be encouraged to write a letter to a Young Cosmonaut, explaining why they should become friends and what they might hope to accomplish together in space. Those who write the best letters will be selected for future exchanges, all expenses paid. Other exciting prizes will be offered. Third, the International Aeronautical Federation has adopted the Young Astronaut program as the best way to achieve "peace through space." Under the federation's auspices, the Young Astronaut program will be offered to other nations and ties will be sought between Young Astronauts and Young Cosmonauts around the world. Every generation, if it is to fulfill itself, needs a dream to inspire it, an adventure to ennoble it. Seldom have young people had the incentive that space now offers. For a half a millennium, the spirit of maximum adventure has awaited new Columbuses and Magellan. Now, for our children, it is at hand and on a scale far more vast. Footnote: The Young Astronaut Council is recruiting 6-to-16-year-olds for future space exploration. All who sign up will be eligible to participate in the "Letter to a Young Cosmonaut" contest. For particulars, write to the Young Astronauts, 1015 16th Street, N.W., Suite 906, Washington, DC., 20005. If the Young Cosmonauts accept our invitation to attend a space launching, their host will be Pepsi-Cola, one of the sponsors of the Young Astronaut program Another sponsor, Disney World, will invite the Young Cosmonauts to its Florida resort. Arming the contras Since the congressional cutoff of U.S. military aid to the Nicaraguan contra guerrillas, the anti-Sandinista forces have been getting weapons from "surrogate CI As" — countries friendly to the United States that are willing to keep the arms and ammunition flowing as a way of ingratiating themselves with the Reagan administration. One ironic result of this arms traffic is that the anti-communist Nicaraguan guerrillas are being supplied with Soviet-bloc weapons. The three biggest arms sources for the contras — now that the CIA's arsenal has been put off limits — are Israel, Egypt and South Africa. Each country has been sending the contras Soviet-made arms captured from various guerrilla groups or, in the case of Egypt, provided orginally by the Kremlin. The Israelis captured huge quantities of weapons from the Palestine Liberation Organization in Lebanon. The South Africans captured Soviet weapons in occupied Namibia and during sorties into Angola. Both countries stoutly deny sending any arms to the contras, but a short, crytic press communique in Israel last year disclosed that auditors had discovered the "disa pearance" of more than $250 million worth arms from military warehouses in the pa three years. In the jungles of Nicaragua not long ag my reporter Jon Lee Anderson saw Egyptii army submachine guns of Soviet design the hands of contra guerrillas. Egypt to been getting its arms from the West in rece years, and apparently is unloading some its huge stock of Soviet weapons, acquired the 19(Qi and 1970s when the Kremlin to hopes of making Egypt a Soviet satellit Like Israel and South Africa, Egypt deni sending arms to the contras.

The markets opened in optimism yesterday, but then started on the back foot and never really regained any composure.
Retail and banking stocks just plumbed ever lower numbers and with the S&P slumping overnight to new lows for the year, the prognosis is not exactly heart warming today. The FTSE 100 is still well above the 3660 nadir of late October, but the recent trend in the index does not exactly inspire.
Continued destruction of capital value in a whole host of companies is now looking to impact banking covenants across a wide spectrum. Many stocks in nominally profitable corporations are now at 10 to 15pc of previous highs due entirely to debt obligations.
In normal times the debt would merely be seen as a diminishing and manageable balance sheet item, but not at the moment. The ancient mariner who stoppeth one in three sounds very much like many brokers ringing round investors trying to offload the albatross of overhanging stock.
The government's statement yesterday that they would 'force' banks to lend to small businesses and that those who have taken the government shilling will be expected to function as a sort of free source of funds for taxpayer and wider public policy issues, whilst not surprising from a Labour government, means that the banks will probably now dig themselves into an ever deeper hole lending in the politically approved (therefore costly and useless) arena.
Naturally the stock in the banks just continues ever lower and the £15bln of RBS rights alone, due at 65p, is now worth just £9.5bln in equity. A £5.5bln loss (in just one of the banks) before it has even happened, makes Norman Lamont's £1bn foray into the currency markets look small beer indeed.
The talk across the City these days is one of job losses, bonus destruction and fear of a future of massive government debt and therefore higher taxation. This is not a cocktail likely to make for a strong rebound anytime soon which is, unfortunately, likely to impact debt valuations for many quarters to come.
Again the best policy is to sit on your hands and watch the madness. Not much fun to be uninvolved, but at least it is not cash destructive.

Split-up the application logic (a) Desirable client/server use Server Client Query 300,000 records returned 1,000,000 record database (b) Misused client/server Figure 16.4 Client/Server Database Usage Client/Server Interaction Yet another example: think of an application in which we need to search for a person named Jo Smith, born in 1980, whose SSN starts with 123 ……. Initial query Client Server 100,000 possible records Next query If initial query results in 100K possible records, the server may just indicate that without sending the records. 1,000 possible records Final query 1,000,000 record database One record returned Then search can be narrowed down and the # of possible records is reduced drastically. (a) Desirable client/server use After a few iterations we may receive the desired record. Server Client Classes of Client/Server Applications Host-based (dumb terminal) not true client/server computing traditional mainframe environment Server-based (thin client) server does all the processing User(client) workstation provides a graphical user interface Classes of Client/Server Applications Fat client models Takes advantage of desktop power and can serve large number of clients Cooperative application processing is performed in an optimized fashion complex to set up and maintain but greater user productivity gains and greater network efficiency Client-based Most common client/server model all application processing done at the client data validation routines and other database logic function are done at the server Some of the more sophisticated database logic functions are housed on the client side It enables the user to employ applications tailored to local needs Three-Tier Client/Server Architecture Application software distributed among three types of machines User machine Middle-tier server thin client Gateway Converts protocols Map from one type of database query to another Merge/integrate results from different data sources Assumes both roles: server & client Backend server Legacy applications File Cache Consistency File caches hold recently accessed file records Cache consistency problem: Caches are consistent when they contain exact copies for remote data Simple solution: File-locking prevents simultaneous access to a file Complicated approach: allow multiple read but one write access; when there is a write, mark the file as non-cacheable Middleware Lack of standards for client/server models makes it difficult to implement an integrated, multivendor, enterprise-wide client/server configuration Middleware: Set of tools that provide a uniform means and style of access to system resources across different platforms. Goal: to enable an application or user at a client to access a variety of services on servers without being concerned about differences among them Provides standard programming interfaces/protocols that sit between the application above and the communications software+OS below. Capability to hide the complexities and disparities of different network protocols and OS Enable programmers to build applications that look and feel the same with little effort Enable programmers to use the same method to access data LOGICAL VIEW OF MIDDLEWARE Middleware which cuts across all client and server platforms, is responsible for routing client requests to the appropriate server. SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture): Services with well-defined interfaces are shared by different departments. Standardized interfaces are used to enable service modules to communicate with one another and to enable client applications to communicate with service modules. The most popular interface is the use of XML (Extensible Markup Language) over HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), known as Web services. SOAs are also implemented using other standards, such as CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). Distributed Message Passing Middleware products are typically based on one of two underlying mechanisms: Message-passing or RPC (Remote procedure calls) Message-passing schemes Reliable Guarantees delivery if possible - Not necessary to let the sending process know that the message was delivered Unreliable Blocking Send the message out into the communication network without reporting success or failure - Reduces complexity and overhead Send does not return control to the sending process until the message has been transmitted OR does not return control until an acknowledgment is received Receive does not return until a message has been placed in the allocated buffer Nonblocking Process is not suspended as a result of a Send or a Receive Efficient and flexible Difficult to debug Clusters Alternative to symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) Group of interconnected, whole computers working together as a unified computing resource illusion is one machine system can run on its own Clusters Compared to SMP SMP is easier to manage and configure SMP takes up less space and draws less power Clusters are better for incremental and absolute scalability Clusters are superior in terms of availability Add new systems in small increments Can have dozens of machines each of which is a multiprocessor Failure of one node does not mean loss of service Clusters have superior price/performance Beowulf and Linux Clusters Mass market commodity components (No custom components) A dedicated, private network (LAN or WAN or internetworked combination) Easy replication from multiple vendors Scalable I/O A freely available software base Returning the design and improvements to the community Distributed shared storage Linux workstations Ethernet or Interconected Ethernets Issues on Clusters Failure management Highly available clusters offers a high probability that all resources will be in service Fault-tolerant cluster ensures that all resources are always available (use of redundant disks/processors etc.) Load balancing Highly available vs. fault-tolerant clusters When a new computer is added to the cluster, the load-balancing facility should automatically include this computer in scheduling applications Parallelizing Computation Parallelizing compiler Parallelized application Parallelizing Computation Parallelizing compiler • determines, at compile time, which parts of an application can be executed in parallel • performance depends on the nature of the problem and how well the compiler is designed Parallelized application • the programmer writes the application from the outset to run on a cluster and uses message passing to move data, as required, between cluster nodes • this places a high burden on the programmer but may be the best approach for exploiting clusters for some applications Parametric computing • this approach can be used if the essence of the application is an algorithm or program that must be executed a large number of times, each time with a different set of starting conditions or parameters • for this approach to be effective, parametric processing tools are needed to organize, run, and manage the jobs in an orderly manner

Going by the economic climate in Europe and witnessing huge protests in Spain, Greece and Italy over mass unemployment, it's strange to consider Goa as a state still living with its 8-month long off-season.
The off-season, typically from March/April until October marks the period where the state shuts down. The beach shacks are closed, the monsoon kicks in (and how!) and very little tourism-related activity occurs.
Most foreigners (read Brits and Russians) go back home to taste whatever summer sun they can in their respective lands, leaving the local population to swim, float or drown in the rain.
It does seem at odds with the state, which thrives so much on tourism that there hasn't been a change in approach towards the off-season. Further, given that the "on-season" is so diametrically opposite both in terms of attitude and posture, one would imagine there be a greater a feeling towards capitalising on the monsoon season for more of Goa's tourism attractions.
It appears that the 8-month lull culminates in a tourism binge so dramatic that the state requires the time off to recover from the physical beating it takes. Back-packers are omnipresent, ravers from other parts of India and abroad descend on Anjuna and Vagator's beaches and the streets are swarmed with new faces, many of which are already off their rocker.
The tut-tut approach of this debauchery by more than one local spoken to doesn't seem to take into account simple economics: the state needs the four-month long party to sustain itself all year round.
That's another reason for the government, private groups / individuals or both to offer more during the rainy season. Waterfalls, treks and diving are some activities, which can easily be marketed in the summer months with minimal hassle. But so far there has been little to no input or interest in doing so. It seems to be that only the die-hard regulars or avid followers of these activities even know that they exist in Goa. Normally, the summer seems to mean that it's off to the hills i.e. Manali where the local Israeli population run cafes and come December it's back to Goa for the start of the dance-drug and "fun" season.
If the average Goan believes this shouldn't be the way to go there needs to be a tourism plan for 12-months – not just four; otherwise the binging could lead to bigger hangovers come another April.

A good friend of mine, Jane Kelly, was attacked and severely beaten
yesterday morning as she jogged along a nature trail in the middle of Cedar
Rapids (a good sized city). She was transferred to Melody's hospital - the
best in the state - but faces a long recovery period and is lucky to be
alive. She needs our prayers. Please add her to any prayer circles you
may be involved in, light a white candle, whatever your particular beliefs
She was beaten only above the neck. How could someone do this to another
human being?

text: Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends, George and Harris, decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a T. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian clerking classes, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age. Illustrated by A Fredericks. First published in 1889, this perennial classic celebrates its 125th anniversary this year.Върни се горе и купи

THE Senate of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, on Thursday, elected Professor Anthony Adebolu Elujoba as the acting Vice Chancellor (VC) of the institution.
The development was in compliance with the Monday's directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to the university Senate to appoint an acting VC, pending the appointment of a substantive VC.
According to release signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the institution, Mr Abiodun Olanrewaju, the emergence of Elujoba came after more than two hours of heated debate, presided over by the outgoing Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration), Professor Omolayo Ajayi.
It added that more than 200 professors of the institution, who came for the meeting, eventually elected Elujoba with 201 votes over his compatriot, Professor Adebayon Lamikanra, who polled less than 10 votes.
The new acting VC is an accomplished academic, who had served as the Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy; chairman, Committee of Deans and chairman, Ceremonials Committee of the University for several years.
It will be recalled that the workers of OAU, under the aegis of Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the National Association of Academic Technoligists (NAAT), had protested the methods used by the dissolved Governing Council in the selection of Professor Ayobami Salami.
They equally petitioned President Buhari, who subsequently ordered the university's Senate to pick a man of integrity to serve as the VC of the 54-year-old university in acting capacity.
The emergence of Elujoba elicited jubilation, as the workers led him in a convoy of cars to the Senate car park, while others trekked, exuding joy and satisfaction over the development.
Reacting over the emergence of Elujoba as the acting VC, the chairman of SSANU, Mr Ademola Oketunde, expressed satisfaction over the development, describing Elujoba as people's choice, just as he charged him to make welfare of the staff and students his priority.
Similarly, the chairman of NASU, Comrade Wole Odewumi, commended the university Senate for choosing the right person to lead the institution in acting capacity.

Mr. Kontos represented me in a very complex divorce case. My experience in working with Mr. Kontos was mixed. On one hand, I believe Mr. Kontos to be generally well informed in the area of family law. Mr. Kontos style is very laid back and not particularly insightful or strategic. He knows the law, but doesn't have (or chooses not to use) the sort of strategic or creative legal approaches that could improve a client's outcomes. He is the sort of attorney that just thinks the system is against him (and his client) so there really isn't a reason to fight. For some, I suppose that this is a good approach. For me it was not. I needed someone that would fight hard for me and was willing to take risks. Mr. Kontos was more interested in protecting his professional reputation than he was getting me a good result. On more than one occasion he refused to utilize a legal strategy because it would, "make him look bad" or because he didn't think it would work. None of the strategies were at all unethical, but they would have required him to step outside of his comfort zone and being more aggressive. On one occassion, I asked him to file a motion to temporarily modify the parenting plan. He did so, but then circumstances changed with the case. At that point (on the day of the hearing), after he had spent thousands of dollars preparing the motion he wanted to withdraw the motion. I insisted that he proceed even if it meant that we lost. The money had been spent, I reasoned, so why not give it a go? He begrudging relented and my motion was approved much to his surprise.
As I stated before, my case was very complicated and needed imagination and aggressiveness to maximize outcomes. The result was not the worst it could have been, but it certainly was nowhere near the best. The, "that's the way it goes" approach that Mr. Kontos exhibited would lead me to avoid him in the future. I would not recommend David Kontos.

Terrible experience. Hired him for a child support case and all I think he did was file the paperwork and show up to court. He didnt inform us of the documents we needed to submit until it was too late. I had to email him to make sure he was actually working on the case. I wish I would have saved our money and represented myself. Biggest waste of money.

Since Mr.Kontos took my case, my ex husband backed down from all his unreasonable demands. Mr.Kontos was able to deescalate a very volatile situation and keep the other party under control. He protected me, he was reasonable and realistic in his approach, very pragmatic yet compassionate. I always heard from him right away and his advise was ample and detailed. He made sure I understood my options and listened to my priorities. I am very grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone needing a Family Law attorney.

RUN! Do not ever hire this attorney. He signs away your rights. He is ok with domestic violence, I had all the evidence in the world and he NEVER submitted it. Now I lost custody of my son do to his ignorance, high priced fees. This attorney quadruple charged me for one court hearing, he charged me for sitting down and chatting with my ex & his attorney. He never looked at anything I sent him. My ex had supervised visitation due to substance abuse and domestic violence. My ex injured my son & now he has custody of my son! DO NOT HIRE THIS INCOMPETENT ATTORNEY. RUN!!

Careless, unreliable, incompetent. Missed deadlines, did not advice me on how to be proactive, just sat and took blows from the opposing side, would not return phone calls, things had to be done the last minute, because of this I was portrayed as careless one in the case. Had to change lawyers and the new one was totally blown away how badly things spun out of control under his care. Nevertheless he got paid for his incompetency and I will be paying the opposing party for many years to come. Sad.

This was my Ex-husband's second attorney in a high conflict divorce, and the level of tension went down dramatically once he finally hired Mr. Kontos. During negotiations, things that came back from Mr. Kontos, were geared toward creating resolution, instead of inflaming the conflict. My attorney spoke highly of Mr. Kontos throughout the process, and we always heard back in a timely fashion.
Even though the case still went to trial, I always felt that Mr. Kontos treated everyone, including me, with respect, though out the process. I was so grateful for what he brought to the situation to resolution, that when it was over, and my attorney said it was Ok, I wrote him a thank you letter.
Mr. Kontos has a good reputation in the community, and I have heard other people say good things about him. I have also recommended him to other people since my divorce. The person I knew who hired him was quite satisfied too.

I would never recommend this attorney to anyone, He handled my family law case and just really dropped the ball, and then him and John Curry, tricked me into settling on my case so they could come after me for all the charges. Then when when I'd had enough and fired him, he gave me 30 days to pay the balance on my account, that I'd always paid. Then sent it into collections and is now charging outrageous interest on. Him and John Curry are nothing but legal scam artists. It was bad enough I had a situation pop up that I had no control over but they took full advantage of the situation.

he took over for another lawyer that was awful! he did a great job kept me informed on everything, was very personable and did a wonderful job. he was in control of the case from the first minute. made me feel comfortable which i was not before. thank you david.

he helped the state prove there case more then he defended me!
then he over charged me!

I hired Mr. Knotos to represent me in a child custody case. Mr. Kontos did a horrible job of keeping me informed with ongoing communications from the opposing counsel. He signed away rights and made decisions without consulting with me first. Mr. Kontos failed to show at court appearances and then lied to my face about the court dates. I would not recomend this man a counsel for anyone. He should have his license revoked permanetly .

Chapter 4Mature
I held her trembling hand as we pulled into the driveway of Inspector Ross.
"Ssh," I whispered to her, "He's the good guy." I pushed the simple white doorbell, and a resounding ding went off around us. A few minutes later, the familiar face of the detective appeared at the door.
"Hello," he greeted us. "You must be Briar." He smiled and stuck out his hand. Briar stared at it, and stood behind my leg.
"Sorry," I apologized. "She's a bit shy." He directed us through his lavish home to his study. He took a seat and waved to two chairs opposite him.
"So, Briar, my name is Inspector Ross. I'm trying to figure out who hurt you. I would like to ask you some questions. Will you help me?" She nodded slowly. "Good. Do you think that, if I showed you some pictures, you would be able to tell me who hurt you?" Another nod. "Very good. but first, I would like to ask you some questions about this man." He continued. "What did he look like? Did he have any distinguishable features?" She looked flustered. The inspector cleared his throat and began again. "What colour hair did he have?"
"Brown," she whispered. Ross made a note of this on his memo pad.
"What colour eyes did he have?"
"Blue," she said, this time a little louder.
"Did he have any hair on his face?" She touches the side of her face. "A beard?" She nods, and he jots this down, too.
"What else, Briar? Can you tell me anything else about him?" We look at her expectantly, and I see the first tear glisten and fall down her cheek. She runs from the room, and I follow her.
"I'm so sorry," I say breathlessly to Ross before leaving the room. I finally find her in the second floor bathroom. "What's wrong?" I ask, stroking her hair. I know that I am the only one she will allow to touch her, and this knowledge stays with me, strengthens me in the storm, if you will. She says nothing, as is usual for her, but it is in the things she does not say that I find my solace, it the wordless comfort of knowing each other so well that blankets us. For eleven years, she has been my everything, and though sometimes I resent her, I wouldn't trade my time with her for anything in the world.
It is sitting like this, her in my lap, my face buried in her hair, that Ross finds us a half an hour later.
"Sorry, I say, for the third time since we have been there. "Come on, sweetie. Let's go home now." I shake her gently awake when I see that she has fallen asleep. "We're going home," I repeat. We get up and she takes my hand again.
"Mummy," she says sleepily. She lifts her arms, a gesture that she wants to be carried from years ago. I take her in my arms and it bring backs memories of years ago, before any of this had ever happened. I take in the scent of her, and for a moment, I am able to believe that everything is going to be okay, someday.

Love in the Time of Russian Puppets
It is a childrens play with grown-up credentials. A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer (and former Miami resident) Nilo Cruz, who adapted it from the short story by Nobel Prize-winning Gabriel García Márquez. Mix that literary lineage with the inventive direction of the Playground Theatre, and youve got a magical family-friendly fable.
The Playgrounds fourth season opens at the Byron Carlyle Theater today at 10:00 a.m., when the title character drops from the sky and lands on a Caribbean island. Is he an angel? A sideshow freak? Told through the eyes of the two children who discover him, the story examines the power of faith and imagination. Expect all the Russian-crafted puppets, giant masks, and fantastic sets from the Playgrounds Miami Shores home theater, which is under renovation. The show, recommended for ages eight and up, runs through November 18. Find showtimes, study guides, and more at www.theplaygroundtheatre.com.
