41. Facts in the Case
41. Facts in the Case
Skipping sleep for a night doesn't have much impact on an imp, so when Ema arrives in the Uniters' reserved conference room the next morning, there are no visible shadows in her face and her gait isn't unsteady in the slightest. The first things that Lai notices that inform her that something is wrong are the bloodshot pink rims around her older friend's eyes. Even though she detests getting wrapped up in emotional drama, she still feels obligated to ask what happened…and the response that she receives is the last thing she'd ever expect.
"What do youmean, you broke up with Les?" she demands. "I thought you said that you two were perfect for each other!"
"That's what I used to think," responds Ema bleakly. She is blinking more frequently than usual, but her eyes remain dry. "But now it's all…I don't know what. Needless to say, everything about my personal life is royally messed up at the moment."
Lai just shakes her head in bewilderment. Ema and Les have been together ever since she first met them, and she always unconsciously assumed that they were destined to remain that way. She hasn't exactly been interested in every facet of their relationship, but it has been a steady, consistent fixture from day to day for almost half of her life. Tearing them apart impacts her in the same way that being fired from her job at Pristine Labs would, or discovering that the sky isn't blue after all. While it doesn't hurt her personally, it's still an odd change to have to grow accustomed to.
She spots Les brooding in the corner, almost entirely concealed from sight. The conference room, which was not designed to accommodate one hundred people, is packed full to bursting point, so it's relatively easy to find a hiding spot. But Lai is still able to catch a glimpse of his desolate face, and that's enough to let her know that he's not taking this latest turn of events well.
She's not in such a great mood herself. The imps of Squadron 3 are being particularly noisy and rambunctious today, and she has a sense of being trapped within a crowd rather than at the front of it, which is where she really should be. She's one of the few people who has managed to secure a rolling chair around the long rectangular table, and she is currently pressed into the upholstery as if that will protect her from the grating sound and activity, glowering out at the room around her. "Today sucks for everyone, I guess," she remarks to no one in particular.
Lady T was not happy with her Uniters' behavior last night. She sent out a slashing text feed that all of them can remember vividly: "I thought you were responsible enough that I didn't have to babysit you every step of the way. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I don't want to hear of any more 'incidents,' happening where I'll have to step in from afar and bail you out. This morning at 9:00 AM sharp O.T., all three factions are to meet in Conference Room 516. Once you arrive, your leaders will put out a holo feed to me so that I can go over the game plan from here on out."
Some soldiers are still sulking from this, while others are indignantly proclaiming that it wasn't their fault that they were pushed into a confrontation. "Doesn't she know that it was the ILG that attacked us?!" "We couldn't avoid fighting!" "She should be grateful that we captured nine of those guys!" "She should just be grateful that nobody got hurt or killed!"
But no matter who's at fault, Lai reflects unhappily, they're here anyway this morning. No doubt they're about to receive a royal chewing out. She wonders if Lady T now regrets giving her a position as the leader of Faction C, and hopes that no one will say anything to get them in even more trouble than they're already in.
She produces her comm and checks the time. Lady T specified that the meeting should begin at nine o' clock O.T., or orbital time, and the vibrant glastic screen informs her that it is currently 8:58. Best to get it over with now. It certainly won't hurt their cause to be two minutes early.
"Hey, everyone!" Lai pitches her voice to rise above the din, and her sharp-edged words hover like an aircraft among a swarm of groundcrafts. "I'm sending in the holo feed now, so please shut up!"
Ema rolls her eyes a little. "Did no one ever program you with manners when you were being commissioned?"
"What? I saidplease."
The Uniters cluster around the conference table, vying for chair space, or a good view at the very least. Lai fiddles with her comm, sends out a holo feed signal to the contact number she has for Lady T, and slides the little device towards the center of the table. It stops up short a few inches, but now everyone should be able to see it easily.
After a few moments of seeking a connection, a projection flickers to life above the tabletop, revealing the torso and coolly disappointed face of Lady T. The hologram is flat, not dimensional like a spectrovision display, but it also uses less battery life and appears the same no matter what angle you look at it from. "Well, at least you had enough credibility to be punctual," pronounces the hovering head, and Lady T's voice comes through the comm speakers as clearly as if she were actually there.
"Is our side coming through all right?" asks Ema.
"The camera must be pointing up, because all I can see is the ceiling," responds Lady T. "But I can hear you just fine, so I'll take the liberty of assuming that you're all staring at me with rapt attention. With that said, you've got some explaining to do. I believe my instructions stated to avoid battles at all costs, and I certainly didn't want to see something like this happen so early on. You could have been thrown off the orbital – or worse yet, arrested – and then where would we be?"
"They started it!" someone exclaims.
"That may be true, but then you should have ended it more effectively." Lady T straightens her glasses, a gesture that shouldn't seem intimidating in the slightest and yet somehow silences everyone in the room. "You have no idea how hard it is to calm people down once they've seen the guns and stunners getting pulled out. You should really use lessvisiblemeans of negotiation. Fewer casualties, easier to clean up afterwards. Besides, you're not really here to fight the ILG – you're here to question the Amitys."
"I questioned Lionel Amity yesterday," Lai speaks up.
Lady T blinks. "Did you, now? Well, I'm glad that at least one person was being productive. Did you learn anything from him?"
"I learned that an ILG agent was questioning him about Pandora two days ago. Other than that, he just lied about not knowing where she is."
"We should have brought mindhack weapons," one of the Uniters grumbles. "Then we could get that information easily!"
"You don't always need a weapon to sway someone to your side," answers Lady T. "All you need is persuasion…and perhaps the right circumstances to give you a bit of luck. And after doing a bit of digging, I believe that I've found just the time and place."
Without really noticing it, everyone in the room leans toward the projection.
"There's to be a gala in three days," she continues. "It will be held in the formal ballroom in honor of the most distinguished permanent residents of Orbital 9. The Amitys will both be attending, and a few especially notable visitors have also been invited. It seems to me that some of you now fall into the latter category."
This announcement is met with a mixture of irritation and excitement, depending on which imps think that a gala sounds appealing.
Lai shifts in her seat uncertainly. "Hold on a minute. You were just talking about how we need to be 'less visible.' Why would you want us to question them at a gala?"
"Why, I never said anything about questioning them there," replies Lady T mysteriously. "But it would be a prime opportunity to surround them and escort them to a proper area for interrogation, don't you think? With so many of you there, they wouldn't be apt to resist. And since the whole occasion is nothing but a party for rich humans to drink too much alcohol and pretend to behave badly, I doubt that anyone would notice if two of the guests decided to…retreat back to their rooms for a little while."
"And you're sure that the Amitys aren't supposed to give a speech or anything like that?" inquires Ema. "If the gala is supposed to be honoring people like them, they could be participating in an activity where they'll be missed…"
"Practical thinking as always, Dr. Ema, but do give me a little more credit. My team has already examined the schedule for the event, and the only two group events planned are an official toast after dinner, and a dance directly after that. I think that during the dance would be the best time to separate the Amitys from the crowd. Split into couples and then start to…casually surround them."
"Do we have to get dressed up?" someone asks.
"If you want to fit in, then yes, you do. You can rent dress clothes from orbital requisition. I'd recommend as much formality as you can find, but I doubt than anything more than basic etiquette will be required in mannerisms."
Many of the younger women began to murmur excitedly amongst themselves about selecting dresses and finding dates, and Lai thought she saw Ema's shoulders deflate a little.
Lady T snaps her fingers to bring their attention back to the task at hand. "This is not a game! I don't mind if you mingle to appear more secretive, but you're not going to a party so that you can have fun and socialize! And please, for the love of all that is right and justified, keep your hands off of the alcoholic beverages. The last thing I need on my hands is a group of drunken supersoldiers with concealed weaponry."
Lai still has a bad feeling about this new plan. "What happens if the Amitys still won't talk to us? They always have the right to remain silent, after all."
"I hope that doesn't come up, but if it does, you might have to – " Suddenly, in the projection, Lady T's head snaps over her shoulder. The microphone broadcasts a muffled voice shouting things in a vaguely alarmed tone of voice. Lai is unable to make out the exact words.
"I have to go," says Lady T quickly. "There's an emergency situation with another squadron. I'll send a message to your leaders as soon as I can."
The feed cuts off there, with no further explanation of what the alleged "emergency situation" is. Lai is left with a sense of deep uneasiness. She feels as if she is watching electric storm clouds gathering on the horizon, and not in a good way.
"A gala, huh?" sighs Ema. "I have to say, I'm not really in a partying mood."
Lai doesn't say anything. A sudden shiver rolls through her.
Ema frowns. "Um, Lai, are you all right?"
"Huh?" Lai squeezes her eyes shut and shakes her head vigorously. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just caught a chill for a second. I guess someone walked over my grave."
"It's just an expression. It was in a book I read." And she rests her chin in her hands thoughtfully and doesn't say anything for a long time after that.

|Trying to create NEAR option in QueryParser -- ideas/help
|Sun, 13 Jan 2002 02:04:15 GMT
Hi, I am trying to implement a NEAR option in the QueryParser.jj. First I have to say, Brian Goetz has done an awesome job putting this together. I rely on it all the time, and it's solid and very complex especially if you don't know JavaCC Now to my question. Overview of how I think the QueryParser works: The basis for the QueryParser is to break up everything into the appropriate type of Query (TermQuery, PhraseQuery, ...), by the matching the query pattern. Then to combine these queries into a collection of BooleanClauses and finally BooleanQueries. Now the NEAR option will only work with phrase searches since that is the only place where you can set the slop factor. So I had two thoughts. 1) Create a new pattern <TERM> "NEAR"<NUM>+ <TERM> The problem I have with this, is that I don't think it will work since the parser will see <TERM> and never look for the "NEAR" option. 2) Retroactively make a TermQuery a PhraseQuery with a set slop. This is somewhat how the AND conjunction works. I am proposing taking the previous BooleanClause and, check to see if the query is a TermQuery. If so then extract the Term and replace the query in the BooleanClause with the new PhraseQuery. However, in trying to do this I find that I cannot extract the Term from the TermQuery because there is no getTerm() from the TermQuery. I don't think it would be difficult to add, but I there might be other issues. Any thoughts or idea will be helpful.

You all know the oki-doke.

To prey on the willing ignorance of the public by misreprsenting one's own activities by diverting attention onto others thereby preventing outsiders from seeing the truth.
Barack Obama admonishes his own supporters to not buy into the oki-doke of others even when his entire political campaign itself was a long string of oki-dokes.

Great Taste did what I wanted it to do.
Product was recommended by my chiropractor who is into natural and herbal remedies. Was having trouble sleeping. It relaxed me and helped me sleep much better. Also once I figured out the right dosage my stools were more regular. I love the flavor. Very satisfied with the product. Will purchase again. This flavor was better tasting than the orange.

It works fast!
Natural Calm Plus Calcium by Natural Vitality tastes better than l thought it would. It foams up like an alka seltzer but tastes better. I gave this to my 9 yr old (1 tsp) and the next day he had a wonderful work-off! I skipped a night then reduced his disage to 1/2 tsp. It didnt hurt him because blood work revealed mag deficiency so l just decreased dosage. He actually likes to take it & he's very picky.
It works fast & the taste is tolerable. It also helps me sleep a little better.

Girls go Boy Crazy! over NBHS grad By Betty Taylor Features Editor It started as a joke, but now Jeremiah's face is on trading cards and a Web site seen by thousands of teen-age girls across the United States. As the presidential race heats up, Jeremiah, who grew up in New Braunfels, is campaigning in a race of his own. He is hoping to be voted "Boy of the Year" — entitling him to a $10,000 college scholarship, a one-year modeling contract and a brand new Volkswagen Beetle. Jeremiah, whose last name is not used to protect him from overzealous fans, said the whole thing started this past year when he and a friend visited a Boy Crazy! booth at North Star Mall. Boy Crazy! is a trading card system for girls which features real boys, ages 12 to 22, from across the United States. Jeremiah and his friend signed up with the company as possible candidates for the trading cards. "We thought it was a joke but figured we had nothing to lose," Jeremiah said. Jeremiah was picked. He had to wait until he turned 18 in July to sign a contract because his mom was not too sure about the whole thing. "She was a little iffy about it," the New Braunfels High School graduate said. This year, he was named Boy of the Week for Sept. 4-10. Fans of Jeremiah went to the Web site www.boycrazy.com to vote for him. He now is featured as card number 272. Sean* a Southwest Texas University student from Boerne, was named Boy of the Week for March 6-12 and is card nufnber 28. Lisa Larson, public relations manager for Boy Crazy!, said the company introduced the system in February to attract girls into the trading card arena.

White caps crashed against the bridge, and were reported to have even leaped over the structure at one point. But Friday afternoon, the angry waters stayed under the bridge. The waves were still ominous, though, a reminder of what can happen when New Braunfels gets too much rain. The city was devastated by floodwaters in October 1998. Rockin' R River Rides, located near the Gruene Road bridge, was among the many businesses and city residents that suffered in the 1998 flood. The company did not take any chances after several days of heavy rain this week. Rockin' R moved its shuttle buses and some other equipment to higher ground in the middle of the night Thursday, Rockin' R staff reported. They did not have to move the equipment, but did so as a precautionary measure. While the continuous rains must have frightened a community still recovering from the 1998 flood, the National Weather Service said this rain is different from 1998. "It does not compare to the 1998 flood," Patrick McDonald, forecaster with the National Weather Service, said. "In the 1998 flood, we had 20 to 25 inches fall in 24 hours. This year we're getting IO to 15 inches of rainfall in five days. That's a much slower event. It's causing flooding, but when you get 20 to See WEATHER/1 OA Love that Wurst!

Bush's 1976 arrest for driving under the influence in Maine, New Braunfels' resident tennis celebrity John Newcombe was a passenger when the governor was arrested. Newcombe owns the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch, 325 Mission Valley Road. The Australian tennis player was in Sydney, Australia, yesterday, and could not be reached for comment. Nancy Alfaro, who is in chaige of marketing at the Newcombe ranch, said phones were ringing off their hooks since the new s broke. She could not comment on the incident, because she had not been in touch with Newcombe. Newcombe, his wife and Bush's sister Dorothy were in the car when a police officer arrested Bush, his spokeswoman Karen Hughes said. George W. Bush said he regrets driving under the influence of alcohol 24 years ago, but does not think the revelation of his arrest so close to Tuesday's presidential election will do anything to change voters' minds about him. At a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Friday, Bush drew thunderous applause when he said "I made mistakes in my life, but I'm proud to tell you I've learned from those mistakes." Bush earlier said he had been open about his alcohol use. "I have been very candid about my past. I've said I've made mistakes in the past. People know that. They've thought about that. They're making their minds up now," he said. Former First Lady Barbara Bush called the matter "Much ado about nothing," while Bush campaign spokeswoman Karen Hughes said Friday at a brief airport news conference that Bush has not hidden his record.

Bi ye Heritage Society of New Braunfels invites everyone to New Braunfels Civic Center for a step back in time./Lifestyle IC Downtown arson suspect acquitted By Jo Lee Ferguson Staff Writer A jury acquitted a 37-year-old man Friday of setting a February 1999 blaze that damaged several downtown New Braunfels businesses. Andrew Ortiz, of New Braunfels, was found not guilty of charges of arson and tampering with physical evidence in connection with the Feb. 3, 1999, fire, Ed Jendrzey, assistant district attorney, said. The decision followed a weeklong trial in district court that began Monday with jury selection. Testimony ended Thursday and closing arguments were Friday morning. The 12-member jury began deliberating around noon Friday and returned with its decision at about 7:45 p.m. Friday, Jendrzey said. "I'm disappointed," Jendrzey said. The fire began at about 3 a.m. Feb. 3 at what was then First Plaza Finance at 140 N. Casten Ave. The fire caused $100,000 to $150,000 damage to the business, reports from that time said. The business has since moved to a new location. Off icials said in 1999 that the fire began in the manager's office at First Plaza Finance and spread to three other businesses through a common attic. At one point Friday afternoon, the jury sent a message to the court that it was locked in a 7-5 decision. The message did not indicate if the majority of the jury believed Ortiz was guilty or not guilty. The judge instructed the jury to continue deliberations. Ortiz was originally indicted on three charges, arson, tampering with physical evidence and theft. However, Jendrzey said Ortiz was taken to trial on only the charges of arson and tampering with physical evidence. Ortiz has been in jail since Sept. 20, 1999. ;

HEARING ADVISORY: Chairman Johnson Announces Hearing on Social Security Disability Fraud Conspiracy in Puerto Rico
U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security, today announced a hearing on the Social Security Disability Insurance fraud conspiracy in Puerto Rico. The hearing will take place on Thursday, September 19, 2013, in B-318 Rayburn House Office Building beginning at 2:30 p.m.
In view of the limited time available to hear witnesses, oral testimony at this hearing will be from invited witnesses only. However, any individual or organization not scheduled for an oral appearance may submit a written statement for consideration by the Subcommittee and for inclusion in the printed record of the hearing.
On August 21, 2013, the United States Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico announced that a Federal Grand Jury in the District of Puerto Rico issued over 70 indictments charging three doctors, one non-attorney representative (a former Social Security employee), and 71 Social Security claimants with fraud in the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program in Puerto Rico.
Under the alleged scheme, the non-attorney representative would help a claimant file an SSDI application and, with the assistance of a conspiring doctor, provide fraudulent medical evidence that would result in benefits for individuals who did not, in fact, meet the legal eligibility standard for disability benefits. The representative would collect a fee from the claimant of 25 percent of any past-due benefits owed (up to a limit of $6,000). The doctors involved would be paid $150 to $500 by the claimant for their submission of false reports to the SSA.
The multi-year investigation began when disability medical consultants in the Puerto Rico Disability Determination Services noticed and reported a suspicious pattern of benefit claims involving nearly identical medical evidence. As a result, the SSA and the SSA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an extensive analysis of medical source documentation in SSDI files. The SSA OIG was joined in the investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation San Juan Office and the Puerto Rico Police Department, and included numerous interviews and surveillances.
As a result of the federal indictments, the SSA was able to immediately suspend benefits to the indicted beneficiaries and has initiated internal reviews of over 6,000 files of beneficiaries that included evidence provided by one or more of the indicted physicians or the indicted representative. During the internal review, should the remaining evidence not substantiate the disability finding, benefits will be suspended and the beneficiary must submit evidence to substantiate the disability. Should a beneficiary be unable to substantiate their disability without additional evidence, his or her benefits will be terminated after proper notice and they will be required to repay the Social Security Trust Fund for the benefits they improperly received.
The responsibility for making initial disability determinations is shared by the States and the SSA. All 50 States, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, maintain fully federally-funded agencies, known as Disability Determination Services, which decide initial and continuing eligibility for benefits under rules established by the SSA. According to the SSA OIG, approximately 185,000 disabled workers in Puerto Rico and their eligible dependents receive about $2.4 million in SSDI benefits each year.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, 10.9 million beneficiaries received $135 billion in SSDI benefits in fiscal year 2012. According to the 2013 Social Security Trustees report, SSDI program revenues will only be able to finance 80 percent of benefits beginning in 2016, unless Congress acts.
In announcing the hearing, Social Security Subcommittee Chairman Sam Johnson (R-TX) said, "The widespread disability fraud uncovered in Puerto Rico raises serious questions about Social Security's management of the disability program. At a time when the Disability Insurance program will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2016, it is deeply troubling that Social Security is doling out millions of dollars in fraudulent taxpayer-funded payments. Americans deserve answers. On behalf of the American taxpayer, I am committed to getting the answers and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse so that we can help keep the program strong for those who truly need it."
The hearing will examine the investigation in Puerto Rico resulting in the arrest and indictment of individuals for Social Security disability fraud, Social Security's oversight of the SSDI program in Puerto Rico, and Social Security's overall efforts to detect, prevent and prosecute fraud.

House Sitter in New York City
I've been on the road full-time since July 2015 and have been to three different continents and 10 countries, four of which I resided in for at least 2 months before going back to my roving ways. I work many odd jobs here and there, from baking bread in an ashram for up to 300 people in one day, to translating a lecture on Bach and the Cosmos English to French for subtitles. I am a decently active homebody who takes true pleasure in simply hanging out with a pet and a good movie. House-sitting will give me the chance to spend time with animals, giving them oodles of love before I listen to the call of the road once again and go on to the next adventure. I live cleanly, don't smoke, don't drink, don't do and am a vegetarian who takes true appreciation in home-cooked meals. As the perpetual guest in other people's homes, I've lived by the principle of true respect for the house rules, more so when they are someone else's.

Answered any and all questions. I felt much better after talking to him. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a lawyer in the Bridgeview, IL area.
Posted by Donovan
Dennis Dwyer is truly an outstanding individual who exemplifies the meaning "Great" defense attorney. My recent case had felony criminal implications. He was extremely diligent in his pursuit of the facts, knowledge of the Cook County Court system. He represented me with dignity and honor through this most difficult time in my life. I truly cannot say how much my family and I are appreciative of all his efforts. His ability to operate in court was terrific, and his attention to detail was fantastic. For those of you who have the unfortunate need of his services, he is the best! Pricing is straight forward, your expectations as a client are clear, and his demeanor is of understanding and leadership to guide you through this system. Not all courts are fair as we would like to assume, the trick is to get someone who understands the system and not allow it to go where it wants to go, but where it should go for the truth. Dennis delivers results to the truth, feel reassured and blessed to have Dennis during this crisis in your life.
Posted by Fritz
This was my second DUI and I was overwhelmed with the process and the possible consequences. Mr Dwyer was very knowledgable about DUI defense and his prices are fair. He explained things so I could understand my options and he helped me fight the charges. There are lots of technicalities with a DUI arrest and license suspension and lots of police make mistakes. Mr Dwyer was able to find one of the mistakes which greatly benefitted my case. I trust Mr Dwyer.
Posted by Ami
I have known Dennis Dwyer for almost 20 years and he is an exceptional lawyer. There was no hesitation from him in representing me. It was my first speeding ticket in over 13 years. He proved to the judge I have a good driving record and the case was dismissed. I would highly recommend Dennis for your next violation or for a consult.

LONDON (Reuters) – Scottish writer Ali Smith's inventive "How to be both", which is divided into two parts, each starting with a different character, was named as the winner in the novel category on Monday for Britain's 2014 Costa Book Awards.
Smith's critically acclaimed novel, which also was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, contains the twin stories of George and Franchescho, one a 1960s teenager, the other a young artist in 15th-century Ferrara, which can be read in either order.
A winner of the same award in 2005 for "The Accidental", Smith's novel will contend with four other books for the main Costa Book of the Year award, to be announced on Jan. 27.
The other category winners are as follows:
– Emma Healey, the First Novel Award for "Elizabeth is Missing", narrated by an elderly woman who is suffering from dementia.
– Helen Macdonald, the Biography Award for "H is for Hawk", a personal account of her efforts to train a goshawk as a way to cope with grief after her father's death.

- Publisher's Summary
- For hundreds of years, models of magnetism have been pivotal in the understanding and advancement of science and technology, from the Earth's interpretation as a magnetic dipole to quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and modern nanotechnology. This book is the first to envision the field of magnetism in its entirety. It complements a rich literature on specific models of magnetism and provides an introduction to simple models, including some simple limits of complicated models. The book is written in an easily accessible style, with a limited amount of mathematics, and covers a wide range of quantum-mechanical, finite-temperature, micromagnetic and dynamical models. It deals not only with basic magnetic quantities, such as moment, Curie temperature, anisotropy, and coercivity, but also with modern areas such as nanomagnetism and spintronics, and with 'exotic' themes, as exemplified by the polymer analogy of magnetic phase transitions. Throughout the book, a sharp line is drawn between simple and simplistic models, and much space is devoted to discuss the merits and failures of the individual model approaches.

wikiHow to Be Responsible when You Have a Cat
Three Methods:Preparing the HouseProving to Your Parents You're ResponsibleTreating a Cat WellCommunity Q&A
Cats are a lot of work to take care of and clean up after. So in order to have your own cat, you need to be responsible. This article will show you how you can look after your pet and make sure it has the best home she or he can get.
Preparing the House
1Avoid any furniture "traps." Cats need to be in a safe place where there is little chance they can get hurt. Move things around if you think there is a way the cat could get stuck or get hurt. For example, if there is space behind a couch against the wall, the cat might fall down behind the couch and will have trouble getting out.
2Stow electrical cords away. Make sure wires for TV sets, phones, computer, etc. are hidden carefully since cats have a bad habit of biting on them and could get seriously harmed.
3Set up a litter box so your cat knows where it needs to do its business. First, make sure it is in a place which is easily accessible to your cat. Also, if the cat isn't potty trained, you will have to clean up the messes until your cat has been taught.
4Set up food and water for your cat. It is up to your decision if you want to feed the cat at certain times or if you just want to have the food out all day but water should always be available at any time of the day.
Proving to Your Parents You're Responsible
1Clean up after yourself to show them you can clean up. If you leave trash around and have a messy room, it will just show them you let things get out of control which will not make them want to get you a cat.
2Get good grades. Show them this cat won't distract you from your schoolwork. Also, good grades will make your parents proud and maybe want to reward you something. If you keep getting good grades, they'll know your ready and responsible enough for a cat.
3Help them out with chores around the house. Showing that you are capable of cleaning will show them you can help out with cleaning if the cat makes a mess or something goes wrong.
Treating a Cat Well
1Be prepared that cats can be very stubborn and sometimes sassy if they aren't treated right. Treat your cat nicely in order to avoid a vicious cat. Don't run after your cat. Running at a cat startles them and can make them scared and feel unsafe in the house with you, causing viciousness or isolating themselves.
2Don't abuse your cat in anyway. Don't hit or throw the cat if they do something bad. Never spray water on them unless it is a recommended method from an experienced trainer. Avoid yelling loudly at the cat because it could make them scared and they'll keep misbehaving to get away.
3Don't play roughly with your cat. Cats are not like dogs and aren't willing to get their fur messed up. Cats like to be well groomed and like playing with toys specially designed for cats. Cats also like laser lights they can chase. Avoid bringing your cat outside to play since cats get distracted by wild animals and will run off.
Community Q&A
Does this also apply to kittens?wikiHow ContributorYes, but you will want to be even more cautious because kittens are smaller and more curious than adults - they can and will fit into tight crevices/areas that may be unsafe and they are more likely to play with electrical wires, etc.
What do I have to do if I want an outdoor cat?wikiHow ContributorBe sure to have a flea/tick collar on it at all times, a name tag (with your phone number and address), and a food/water bowl by your garage or back door. Spay or neuter it, and be sure to let your cat in regularly for some playtime and baths.
Is it normal for a five month old neutered kitten to knead against everything?wikiHow ContributorTotally, my kitten is nearly 7 months now and this is part of her settling down routine. It signifies she feels relaxed and safe enough to play or to sleep.
How old does a cat have to be to have kittens?wikiHow ContributorA cat at the age of 1 is technically an adult cat, so if a male cat finds a female and neither is spayed/neutered, even if both are quite little, it is possible for them to have kittens.
How can I decide if getting an adult cat is right for my family?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on what your family wants. An adult cat requires less maintenance because it most likely will be trained to use a litter box and will be set in its ways. Pretty laidback. A hyper kitten, on the other hand, will require much more attention.
How do I convince my parents I am responsible when they will not let me help with the chores?wikiHow ContributorDo as much as you can with any "official" chores and make sure you have good grades in school. Also, have a good attitude and be nice to your family.
If a cat urinates on my furniture, how would I clean it?wikiHow ContributorUse a special cleaner that is made for pet urine.
What do I do if my dad hates fur? My mom will let me get a cat, but my dad doesn't want to deal with all the fur.wikiHow ContributorShave or groom the cat, or get a hairless cat. Grooming often will help keep your cat from shedding. You can also promise to clean up the fur by vacuuming and dusting the house regularly, but only do this if you really plan to follow through on your promise.
What if a kitten got injured? This is my concern because I'm getting a kitten in the summer.wikiHow ContributorKittens have very flexible bones, so it would take a lot to break them. If they get a cut or scratch get some antibacterial solution and try to clean it up as best you can. If anything serious were to occur, you could take the kitten to the vet.

- When you get a cat, you'll need to consider the costs. You'll obviously need food, and you'll also need to plan ahead for vet costs, because even a healthy cat may get sick, plus they'll need some vaccinations.
- Brushing will reduce the risk of hairballs and keep your cat's coat nice and clean.
- Although cats do require some work, they are great pets that will provide you with years and years of companionship. As long as you take care of your cat and take him to the vet for his checkups, he should remain healthy. Even though cats can get sick from time to time – knowing how to care for him will make a world of difference in having a healthy cat.
- To prove you're responsible, make surprises for your parents such as cleaning the house without them home.

wikiHow to Make Fried Bean Curd
Fried bean curd is a standard Chinese snack that can also be eaten as a first course appetizer or as a buffet menu item. While it's easy to make, care must be taken when adding and removing it from the hot oil, so be sure that this is something you're comfortable with doing.
- 10 squares of bean curd
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper, mixed together
- Oil suitable for deep frying (for example, peanut oil)
1Prepare the bean curd. Drain the bean curd pieces and sit in a wire strainer.
2Pour the oil into the wok or deep pan or pot.
3Heat until the oil is almost smoking.
4Lower a few pieces at a time into the hot oil. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to hold and place the bean curd pieces in. Do this very carefully, as spattering oil can burn skin.
5Cook quickly. When the bean curd pieces turns a light golden color, remove using the tongs or slotted spoon.
6Place the fried pieces of bean curd on a plate lined with absorbent paper. Sprinkle with soy sauce and the salt and pepper mixture.
7Serve immediately. It can be served with stir-fried Chinese greens for a meal, by itself for a snack, on a warming plate for a buffet or as a small meal for children.

Afternoon analysis 04.05.2016:
The US labor market missed the expectations. Eurozone reports this time below the forecasts. The euro recouped some losses. The zloty moved higher, but it remain near low levels.
The latest reports from the euro zone have been above the forecast. But today's data missed the expectations. The readings showed weaker than expected increase of retail sales and slightly slower expansion in the service sector.
In March sales increased 2.1 percent on a yearly basis after rising 2.7 percent in the prior month (revised from 2.4 percent). On a monthly basis retail sales dropped 0.5 percent after increasing 0.3 percent (revised from 0.2 percent). The report was below expectations.
The reports reflected an ongoing tendency which had been seen earlier in the German economy. The consumption growth remains subdued in spite of very good situation in the labor market. Given the situation, it is not very likely the inflation rate will rebound at a faster pace. However, ECB President Mario Draghi suggested recently the monetary authorities are not going to increase stimulus.
The PMI indexes from service sector showed some deterioration. However, the pace of expansion remains quite high in spite of some slowdown. Only France is clearly under negative pressure as the PMI index stood at 50.6. However, the gauge moved to positive territory from the prior month reading below the neutral level 50. The broad index for the monetary union stood at 53.1, slightly below the forecast.
US labor market
Contrast to the eurozone, in the US the latest report have been rather negative. On Monday the ISM index suggested slowdown in industry. Earlier, the GDP growth missed the forecast and the expansion was the slowest in two years. As a result, the dollar was under a negative pressure.
On Tuesday the dollar rebounded from the lowest level since January 2015 against the euro after hawkish comments from the Fed. Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said two hikes are possible this year and tightening may resume in June. In addition, San Francisco Fed President John Williams made some upbeat remarks on the US economy, which supported the tightening scenario.
The US labor market data used to point at solid expansion. But it has changed today. The ADP report on employment change showed only a 156k increase in employment. It was lower reading than the 195k forecast. Last month employment increased 194k (revised down from 200k). Given today's data, the Friday's report on situation in the labor market may be also poor.
As a result, the dollar dropped against the euro and other major pairs. The latest data have put the Fed in quite a difficult position. The US central bank has been talking about two hikes this year in spite of deterioration in reports. It is possible, the Fed will be forced to adjust its stance. A similar scenario would be negative for the dollar.
Zloty at low level
Rising risk aversion was reflected by drop in the European stock markets. The major indexes dropped to the lowest level in three weeks. A negative sentiment was supported by sliding commodity prices and poor reports from China.
The zloty was susceptible for risk aversion. It was caused by high probability that the Moody's agency may lower nation's rating. Moreover, poor reports coupled with rising deflation pressure may push the MPC to adjust its stance to more dovish. Given the situation, the probability of a stronger zloty is rather low.

This view was confirmed by a quick session on Army of Two: The 40th Day. I'm not a huge fan of the game, but if you want mindless violence, this does it, and the cacophony of shotgun blasts, machine-gun fire and shouting was enough to have my better half hammering on the door and threatening all kinds of unpleasant repercussions if that racket did not STOP RIGHT NOW! This, frankly, is exactly the sort of thing that you buy a really big set of 2.1 speakers for.
It's a similar tale with movies. I don't think I'd want to have the SRS-DB500s set up to watch, say, Sense and Sensibility or Mamma Mia (you'd want to watch Mamma Mia at all? - ed), but with Terminator: Salvation in the PS3 and the sound cranked up the system's no-holds-batted, belt-it-out approach has real appeal. With the satellites less than three feet from you the sensation is akin to being in a post-apocalyptic warzone. In fact, were you in a real post-apocalyptic warzone, there would probably be less danger of your ears falling off.
Still, as you might have gathered from the first paragraph, this is both the strength and weakness of this system. The SRS-DB500s sound okay with the volume dialled down, but they really only sound good with the volume turned up to midway or above. The problem is that once you have the volume turned up midway or above, you'll lose your hearing and everyone in the vicinity will hate you. For a pair of desktop speakers this doesn't necessarily make an awful lot of sense, and – were I spending my own money with a continuing interest in co-habiting with my nearest and dearest – I'd be more tempted to go with something a little more precise, versatile and not quite so noisy, like Creative's GigaWorks T3 set or the 2.0 GigaWorks T20/T40 systems.
The SRS-DB500s actually seem more sensible if used with a console to replace under-powered TV speakers, but here I'd counsel you to see if you can track down the aforementioned Altec Lansing MX5021 or Logitech Z2300 sets, which to my mind produce slightly better results. The SRS-DB500s are still amongst the best gaming speakers I've ever come across, but sometimes you have to ask yourself: is this much power a good thing? Some buried, boyish part of me still thinks so, but another part of me is not so sure.
Big, beefy, somewhat brash speakers with the right credentials for big action games and movies. However, this isn't the most musical or versatile system out there, and it's arguably too damn loud for desktop use.
that last picture really puts into perspective how big that sub really is:
What an engineering failure. Overpowered and with an absurd subwoofer that's probably larger than most people's desktop PC. Who in their right mind would buy this? Oh but it's got a light that "throbs and revolves in time to the music," well in that case, I'll buy two.
It's very very ugly in my opinion :/
At first, I thought I had found my next speakers reading this, they within my new price range and look the part, but it soon became apparent that they are overkill. (Allthough that really wouldn't bother me while I'm blasting away at the Helghast)
To be fair, J4cK, you could do a lot worse if you want to do some blasting. I admit I really enjoyed whacking up the volume and battling away. For a lot of desktops, though, the charge of overkill isn't entirely undeserved.
@StuAndrews, firstly, great review mate! I gather these are a really good set of speakers and I could do far far worse. I have my PS3 and gaming PC side by side sharing speakers and monitor. The Sony SRS-DB500 sound absolutely ideal for games and action films, but I listen to alot of varied music and the types of films I watch most often wouldn't benefit too much from the huge bass and lack of quality at lower volumes. While I would usually never say no to extra power and thump, I get all the thump I need from my Sony SRSD211.CEK! This is because my bedroom is Tiny! (about the size of 3 single beds side by side) Yea :/
I don't know, I'm sure these a great either way I might actually buy them unless you can recommend some other 2.1's for around £100. (Needs multiple inputs) a second Aux will do
Yes I have asked before about this but now I've upped my price range a little :)So if you can be bothered your help would be very much appreciated
@J4cK1505; if you can do without a sub, Creative's GigaWorks T40 are a great choice and for well under £100 too
@ffrankmccaffery yea thanks, I have allready taken a look at these and I gather that these are great quality speakers but maybe I'm deluded but I think a sub is a nessasity. At this rate im going to end up spending around 3 times my initial budget! haha I might take a look at something in the £150 range, I mean otherwise my money will just go on beer!
Proper ugly charver speakers, them. I'm another happy GigaWorks T40 owner.
"Subtle these speakers are not; but who wants subtlety anyway?"
I want it anytime, anyhow, anywhere. They can not reproduce the "texture" of sound, extremely low resolution, metal sounds like tin can.
"it's arguably too damn loud for desktop use"
I find their max output level perfect for any use. Neighbors will be annoyed by pure huge distortion only.
The law of physic states that one cannot get a good bass without a bigger box to house the woofer. So one cannot get good bass and don't want a bigger box. Two, sounds abrasive ? There is a proven concept known as 'burn in" in hi fi. After about 50 hours of usage, the mids and highs become more musical and non abrasive. It gets better and better with usage. Best multi media speakers in the world ? There is no such an animal or object. But this set of computer speakers and several others by different manufacturers come close.

The following link will take you to an article in the Huffington Post about pork that is being served in school cafeterias around the country. What can parents do to ensure that their children are not being fed connective tissue soaked in ammonium hydroxide?
Several years ago, British chef Jamie Oliver tried to help a community that was deemed the unhealthiest in the U.S. His Emmy-winning reality show, Food Revolution, exposed a side to school lunches that startled parents and forced school districts to evaluate the real "cost" of inexpensive food for American youth.
I'd sincerely appreciate your thoughts on this article and what, if anything, you've done to ensure food safety in your child's school.

Many may call the visit of Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag in the forward areas as a customary visit, but his words of inspiration did wonders in giving a boost to the morales of the soldiers here. Calling it one of the best armed forces in the world, Singh said that the Indian army has the ability to fight all odds.
He visited the forward areas and reviewed overall security situation prevailing in the Valley. "The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) visited the forward posts in the Tangdhar and Machhil sectors and the Dagger Division at Baramulla. At each location, the COAS was briefed by the Commanders in the field about the situation along the Line of Control and the hinterland," a defence spokesman said.
The chief is also said to have appreciated the effectiveness of the grid and the high success rate this year in neutralising infiltration attempts, which had contributed significantly towards ensuring a secure environment in Kashmir.
He also took stock of the recoveries of weapons and IEDs made during the counter-insurgency operations.
"The COAS complimented the commanders on the high level of integration achieved with the police and paramilitary forces and expressed his satisfaction with the efforts put in for resource mobilisation, innovative surveillance techniques and other security measures which were showing excellent results," the spokesman said.
The Army chief interacted with troops and expressed his pride at the high state of morale and preparedness by them.
