re: st: Saving first stage IV results
Tue, 2 Mar 2010 13:23:29 -0500
Is there a way of saving into a .csv file the first stage of a set of IV
regressions (for many dependent variables), either:
- In a separate table than the second stage?
- In such a way that for each dependent variable there are two columns, one
for the 1st stage and other for the 2nd?
-ivreg2- on SSC can save the FSRs as sets of estimates, which can then be combined with the 2SLS estimates using, e.g., -estout- from SSC.

Play Online Roulette and Win Big!
Step onto the floor of any Las Vegas casino and you'll witness something big, dramatic, and straight-out-of-the-movies. We're talking about crowds of winners, high-fiving each other after scoring a major win at the roulette table (it happens just as much when you play online). And they have good reason to get excited. When the dealer pushes 35x whatever you bet your way because you happened to pick the right number, that's perhaps the best online experience you could imagine.
Thankfully, you don't have to go to Vegas to experience this kind of excitement because you can play roulette online! Internet casinos offer a variety of games that bring real-life experiences directly to your living room. Not all the gambling sites are created equal though so we put together a list of the best ones to play at. We rate the top sites based on a multitude of criteria, including:
- Responsive, accurate customer support.
- A history of fast and secure payment processing.
- Licensed and regulated casinos with regular audits of their computer programs.
Top Pick: In May 2017, You'll Find the Best Online Roulette Games at Slots.lv Casino
Best Online Roulette Sites 2017
When you play roulette online, you expect fast action, sharp graphics, real sound effects, and a flawless experience. You also want to know that the casino you choose to play at is one of the best Internet casinos around, and offers a reputable and trustworthy reputation in addition to being safe and secure.
So before you play on your computer at just any gambling site on line, read through our website first. We've been in the online casino game since the first virtual roulette ball dropped and we're casino players too. That means we know what players like you deserve and expect out of your experience. As a result we have brought you the best online experiences we could find. That includes mobile roulette games which you can play 24/7 on your Android, Apple iPhone or iPad devices.
OnlineRoulette.org reviews, ranks, and rates some of the best internet casinos vying for your business, and we have narrowed down our picks to gambling sites you can trust to play your favorite games online at. We've also made sure that every one of our picks allows you to play your preferred game, even if it's Blackjack, Slots, Craps or Baccarat, for free to try it out and for your entertainment. And if you're into playing for real money, our list of the best Internet casinos also offer the biggest bonuses available.
See Why Roulette is so Popular
If you have never been able to experience roulette online or live, you're going to love it. The basics are pretty simply. You bet on one number or a combination of numbers by placing your chips on the felt. The dealer releases the virtual roulette ball onto the wheel. When the ball lands on a number, wedged inside the wheel, you get paid out if your number hits.
But you don't have to pick the exact number to play roulette online and win. By betting on a group of numbers (such as the first, second, or third dozen... or columns... or all evens/odd... or black/red) you can improve your odds of hitting your number when you play roulette at online casinos to almost 50/50.
And if you've ever played the real-life casino version of roulette but have always hated the crowds, you're going to love to play on the web even more. Because the table is a virtual one, it's usually just you against the dealer (unless you're playing multiplayer games) and there's always an open seat. Even better, our list of the best online casinos for roulette also offer several different game variations in their game lineups.
Find the Best Online Roulette Site
If you are ready to play online roulette without risking anything, browse through OnlineRoulette.org and review our picks for links to the best Internet casinos to play roulette for free or real money.
Rating sites for online roulette
Gamblers from around the world enjoy roulette, and there is no shortage of online casinos that are looking to attract their attention. To help online roulette players find the sites with the best experience and good value, our team of casino experts test the sites out and investigate different features that can affect the player.
With the primary concern being online roulette sites, we test the experience for playing this game. We look for reliable casino software, flashy graphics, and a good range of options for playing and betting on roulette. Further, we test all of the different versions of the game that are available. We check out the downloadable game, the browser version, and the games that are available on mobile devices.
In addition to this, we also look for safe and secure banking, good bonuses and promotions, and helpful customer support.
How to find a good roulette bonus
When you are picking a site to play roulette online, you should consider the quality of the welcome bonus. However, it can be difficult to determine which bonus is best. There is more to it than the stated cash value of the bonus.
Many gamblers make the mistake of thinking that the higher the match percentage, the better the bonus. While a high match percentage is good, you also have to factor in the amount of wagering that you have to do and the games that contribute to the wagering requirement. Even if the match percentage is high, it can lose overall value by having strict wagering requirements or by not offering a good contribution for the games that you like to play. Keep these in mind when making your choice on where to play.
Roulette on Mobile
The latest mobile devices are really a wonder, and many of them offer a quality platform for playing online roulette. Just pick up your favorite mobile device, download the apps or go to the mobile site, and you can start the roulette wheel spinning. Here are some of the most popular devices for playing on:
With roulette on your iPhone, you have slick gambling action on a device that fits in your pocket. Look for iOS apps and sites that have play through HTML5.
With the popularity of the iPad, it is no wonder that all of the top casinos offer support for this device. Get roulette, blackjack, slots, and poker on a device that performs well for all of your online gaming needs.
If you are looking for a quality mobile gambling experience, then many of the best Android devices will serve you well. The Samsung Galaxy line is one of the most popular which offers a great display of graphics through the AMOLED screen. Of course, there are many more devices to choose from by Motorola, Huawei, Sony, and more. You will find an array of great opportunities for playing roulette online with the Android operating system.
With online tablet roulette, you no longer have to sit at your desk or stare at a small phone screen to enjoy your favorite game. All you need is a tablet and an account with an online casino that has support for your device. Enjoy tablet play whether you are running iOS, Android, Windows, or Blackberry's operation system.
ws Phone
With an operating system that is fast and responsive, roulette players will love placing bets with their Windows Phone device. While not quite as popular as Android or iOS, Windows lovers need not worry, devices like the Nokia Lumia 930, 735, and 1320, and Microsoft Lumia 650, 435, and 640 will have many options for gaming.
The BlackBerry OS works well for a variety of different applications, and online roulette looks great on devices like the BlackBerry Playbook. Place your bets through the mobile browser or find apps that are specifically designed for this system.

Online Roulette FAQ
Why should I play online roulette?
The benefits of online roulette often outweigh live roulette in a number of different ways. There's the convenience aspect (you just can't beat a night out at the casino without leaving your house). There's the betting limits benefit (you can play for way less money than in a land-based casino). And playing online roulette is also a great way to get set for a land-based casino trip. If you've learned a few new betting strategies and you want to test them out for free, playing online roulette offers you the opportunity to do so. We could go on and on describing the benefits of playing online roulette, but your best bet is to give it a try and discover your new favorite reason firsthand.
What variations of Internet roulette will I find?
The beautiful thing about playing on the web is that you can find every type of roulette under one virtual roof. At US casinos, you'd likely only find American Roulette. At European casinos, it's the European flavor of roulette that's the most popular. But online? You'll find every type of roulette game, including European, American, and French, so you never have to stray far from your favorite site to play the game you want.
Do I have to play roulette online for real money?
No.There are many types of Internet casinos and most of them offer free play on their virtual roulette tables. That means you can place bets using pretend chips. If you win, you won't be able to cash out your winnings since they aren't actually real. But if you lose, you don't have to sweat it since the money wasn't real to begin with.This allows you to get a good feel of things before spending your money.
Are online casinos safe?
We recommend some of the safest casinos around but like anything else, always exercise precaution. There are literally thousands of online casinos offering Internet roulette, but not every site is reputable and trustworthy. We've reviewed virtually every online casino in the world and filtered out the ones that aren't worth considering. You want to know that the site you're choosing to play at won't steal your money, will offer a fair playing experience, and will keep your personal information secure. When you choose our picks, you can be confident that you're playing roulette online somewhere safe.
What is a welcome bonus and can I claim one for playing online roulette?
With thousands of online casinos competing for your attention, standing out from the competition is key to gaining new players. The top online roulette casinos offer new players free money for signing up and those players can benefit from these incentives. They're called welcome bonuses, and they're designed to pad your bankroll so you have more money to bet with. Welcome bonuses aren't handed out in lump sums. You need to keep playing online casino games to release your bonus money into your real casino account.

Is it February 13th yet????
The online is horrible, you you can wait for up to ten mins for a single game only to have it freeze, glitch, or randomly eject you from your connection altogether. It's sad I really like the core of this game but there are to many faults that hinder my fun with the game. Despite some characters just being down right cheap, lack of modes, weird glitches, it is a great play. While I know I **bleep** a lot about some op characters it would be bearable if FFA werent the only option for solo ranked play. As a dante character I know I have a risk reward relationship, which would be fine if some characters didn't gain ap as fast as me for half of the work and risk! Hopefully with the new characters, they introduce new items, modes, and fix the servers. My Allstars tank is running on empty.....
Re: Is it February 13th yet????
I can't wait for that day one feeling again, everyone being the two new characters not knowing how they work, each game having each player a equal chance of winning.
Dout this will happen though...
Re: Is it February 13th yet????
It must be really rough not being able to tell what date it is. How do you manage on a day to day basis? Are you able to tell the time, or is your deficiency restricted purely towards dates?

Ace Young Proposes to Diana DeGarmo on 'Idol' Finale
Wednesday night, "American Idol" crowned another winner, but it also produced a newly-engaged couple, as Season 5's Ace Young proposed onstage to Season 3's Dianna DeGarmo during the Season 11 finale broadcast.
Ryan Seacrest suspiciously called the first couple of "Idol" up to the stage during the show, and dimmed the lights so that Young could ask an important question. Watch below.
"Diana -- we have conquered Broadway together; we have created all your new music together," Young said to a teary-eyed DeGarmo as his own hands shook. "We have an amazing group of people around us, and, with the help of David Webb Jewelry, I have a way to make this fun last forever."
Phillip Phillips Wins 'American Idol' Season 11
"You're my best friend," he said as he got down on one knee. "I want to make this last forever, and I will do everything in my power to have the most imaginable amazing life together."
The pair met briefly during an "Idol" event, but got to know each other as they worked on a performance of "Hair" in New York. Neither won their season on the Fox singing competition -- Young finished seventh and Degarmo was the runner-up.

SEB COE became an Olympic
legend by winning four medals, including 1500 metres gold in 1980 and '84.
Now chairman of London
2012, he will be counting down his 50 greatest Olympic moments in
SunSport as the clock ticks down to the eagerly awaited Opening Ceremony on
Friday, July 27.
No 1 — Old flame returns
FLYING in with the Olympic flame from Greece on May 18.
It was back in Britain for the first time in 64 years. What a journey it has
had around the UK.
No 2 — Double Daley delight
DAY TWO of the Los Angeles Games in 1984. Daley Thompson needed to throw the
discus further than he had before to hold on to the Olympic decathlon title
he had won in 1980. He notched up a personal best of 46.56 metres and broke
the spirit of arch-rival Jurgen Hingsen of Germany to win.
No 3 — Haile charged
HAILE GEBRSELASSIE in the 10,000m final in Sydney 2000. The lead changed FOUR
times on the finishing straight. He beat Paul Tergat by nine-hundredths of a
No 4 — Shining Sherwoods
JOHN SHERWOOD won 400m hurdles bronze and wife Sheila won silver in the long
jump at Mexico 1968. They inspired me as a child — as I told the ICC when we
bid for the 2012 Games.
No 5 — Black Power
THE Black Power salute by Olympic 200 metres champion Tommie Smith and bronze
medallist John Carlos on the podium at the 1968 Mexico Games. One of the
most iconic sporting images and a moment that changed the world.
No 6 — Grey is gold
TANNI GREY-THOMPSON'S four gold medals at Sydney 2000.
The wheelchair athlete was a sensation in Australia with four golds (100
metres, 200m, 400m, 800m) in front of the biggest-ever Paralympic crowd as
112,000 people flocked to see the athletics. She continues to fearlessly go
where others are not so brave.
No 7 — Red letter day
SIR STEVE REDGRAVE'S win with Team GB's coxless four at Sydney 2000 gave him
gold at a FIFTH consecutive Olympics. It was a race that stopped a
No 8 — Holmes 'n dry
KELLY HOLMES' winning the 800m and 1500m double at Athens 2004.
I remember untying her shoelaces and presenting her with the 800m gold medal.
I was so proud.
No 9 — Jesse Hits back
JESSE OWENS' four golds in Berlin 1936.
Hitler had intended to showcase Aryan supremacy in the heart of Nazi Germany.
But Owens, a black American, triumphed in a raw collison between fascism and
sport which saw sport win hands down.
No 10 — Electric Beam
Bob Beamon's record-breaking leap in Mexico City, 1968.
Beamon flew through the thin air for 8.90 metres — half a metre better than
the previous best. The record stood for 23 years.
No 11 — Golden Gunn
Sally Gunnell wins 400 metres hurdles gold in Barcelona 1992. She went to the
Olympics in Spain as the British women's team captain and returned as a
No 12 — Munich terror
THE shock of terrorists at the 1972 Munich Games.
Eleven Israeli athletes and coaches, a West German police officer, and five
terrorists belonging to the Black September organisation were killed.
It was an act of unspeakable barbarity and cowardice.
No 13 Best of the six

won gold at Los Angeles in 1984 with a throw of 69.56 metres.
No 14 — Ben sails into history

flame when it started its 70-day journey.
No 15 First Ade
ADE ADEPITAN'S amazing three pointer in the USA vs GBR wheelchair basketball
match at the 2004 Paralympics. USA were world champions, there was just
1.7sec left on the clock and a foul was followed by a very calm Ade who sank
his free throws flawlessly.

THE pool ran red with blood at the 1956 Games in Melbourne as Hungary's water
polo men avenged the Soviet Union's invasion of their country a month
No 17 — Reade all about it

giant flip-flop — a reminder that the Games are supposed to be fun.

BRITAIN'S hockey gold in Seoul 1988. Sean Kerly starred in the 3-1 victory
over Germany.
No 22 — The winning Games
ON July 5 2005 the day before the 2012 vote. I was with Tanni Grey-Thompson,
Daley Thompson, Colin Jackson, Jonathan Edwards and Ade Adepitan. We'd all
have traded in our golds if it meant us winning.
No 23 — Pedal power
TEAM GB becoming victors of the velodrome in Beijing four years ago. They
scooped a whopping eight golds with three for Chris Hoy.
No 24 — Zorn her own
PARALYMPIAN Trischa Zorn won an incredible 10 gold and two silver medals in
the pool in Barcelona 20 years ago.
In seven Games, the American visually-impaired swimmer hauled in 55 medals
including 41 golds, an achievement which remains unsurpassed.
No 25 — Oh yes!
CHRISTINE OHURUOGU winning 400 metres gold in Beijing. Ohuruogu was the world
champion but American rival Sanya Richards had gone into the final with a
faster time that season.
But in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the Brit came from behind on the final bend to
win in style.
No 26 — Never give in
DEREK REDMOND being helped over the line by dad Jim after tearing his

record — saw off hot favourite Ralph Boston of the USA.
No 29 — Oscar winner
OSCAR PISTORIUS at the Beijing Paralympics when he retained both his 200m and
400m titles.

Paralympics in London.
No 30 — Mary's on top
MARY PETERS on top of the Munich podium in 1972 after winning pentathlon gold
with a world record 4801.
A great woman and later a great team manager. Mine.
She was Britain's manager at Moscow in 1980 and after I lost to Steve Ovett in
the 800 metres, she helped me re-focus to win 1500m gold days later.
No 31 — Becks appeal
BECKY ADLINGTON'S double victory joy at the Beijing Games in 2008.
Mansfield's sweetheart won the 400 metres, then the 800m days later, to become
the first British swimmer to win two Olympic golds since 1908.
Adlington was also our first Olympic champion in the pool since 1988. All that
and she was only 19.
No 32 — Zat attack
THE whole stadium chanted "Zatopek! Zatopek!" as Czech legend Emil Zatopek won
the 5,000 metres and 10,000m golds at Helsinki in 1952. He then ran the
marathon — and won that too.
No 33 — Kor blimey
SOVIET gymnast Olga Korbut winning three golds and a silver — aged 17 — at
Munich 1972.
She even had a move, the Korbut flip, named after her but it was her open
displays of emotion that captivated the world. A smiling face from a then
grey country.
No 34 — Just a sec…
DAVID HEMERY winning 400 metres hurdles gold in Mexico 1968, setting a new
world record of 48.12sec along the way.
He beat West German Gerhard Hennige by almost 1sec. Pure class. So much better
than the rest.
No 35 — Barcelona 92
EVERYONE recalls images of divers competing against the city's background.
These Olympics showed how the Games can transform a city as Barcelona became a
global destination.
No 36 — Moscow 1980
MY first Olympics. Steve Ovett beat me to 800m gold, then I took the 1500m
title days later.
No 37 — Los Amigos
The Opening Ceremony of the Los Angeles games in 1984. Eighty four grand
pianos playing at the same time, Liberace lookalikes and a Rocket Man flying
into the Coliseum stadium. It could only have happened in Los Angeles.
No 38 — Getting Hiched
HICHAM EL GUERROUJ in the 2004 Athens 1,500m after two Olympic final defeats.
The Moroccan then won the 5,000m to complete a stunning double.
No 39 — She's Simm girl
ELLIE SIMMONDS winning Paralympic gold in the 100m and 200m freestyle in 2008
— at the age of 13.
I met Ellie two years before and thought then I'd rarely seen anyone so young
with such iron determination to get to the top.
No 40 — Free, not easy
CATHY FREEMAN winning the Sydney 400m.
I was commentating for TV that night and the noise in the stadium was
Has anyone competed under more home pressure?
No 41 — Korea move
NORTH and South Korea marching into the Olympic Stadium TOGETHER at the
Sydney 2000 Games.
Led by a placard which simply read 'KOREA', 180 athletes from the
North and South joined forces.
A unification flag was carried by Pak Jung Chol, a North Korean judo coach,
and Chun Un Son, a women's basketball player from South Korea.
This was a perfect example of how sport transcends politics.
No 42 — Riskey business
MEETING Mike, a member of the Olympic Park decontamination team about five
years ago. He proudly told me he was helping create a stadium for his
daughter to compete at in 2012. His dream may come true — his daughter is
Lisa Dobriskey, who won World 1500 metres silver in 2009.
No 43 — Fed up but happy
THE gold medal joy of Roger Federer in Beijing. The Swiss tennis star could
not hide his delight after landing the men's doubles with Stanislas
No 44 — England… 1 France… 0
JACQUES ROGGE the president of the International Olympic Committee, announcing
in Singapore on July 6 2006, that London had won the right to stage the 2012
Games. I still worry that if I watch the film clip too often, one day he
will say PARIS instead!
No 45 — Weir and wonderful
WHEELCHAIR athlete David Weir's 100m silver and 200m bronze at the Paralympics
in Athens in 2004. I was being distracted doing so many interviews because
of the London 2012 bid but David kept me focused on athletics — and went on
to win two golds in Beijing.
No 46 — She Packed a punch
ANN PACKER'S 800m gold in a world record 2min 01.1sec at Tokyo in 1964 was so
elegant, so unexpected.
After finishing second in her favoured 400m she planned a shopping trip with
fiancee Robbie Brightwell rather than run the 800m for only the sixth time
No 47 — Out of this world
USAIN BOLT'S 100m gold in Beijing 2008 was simply sublime.
He eased down 15m out but still set a new world record of 9.69sec.
No 48 — Ali lights up the Games
MUHAMMED ALI lighting the Olympic flame at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
Suffering from Parkinson's he struggled up the stairs before his shaking hand
held high the torch. Vulnerable and statuesque in equal measure.
No 49 — Decker and Budd clash
MARY Decker, Zola Budd and Wendy Sly in the 3,000m at the 1984 Games in Los
Decker, the golden girl of American distance running, was desperate to win her
first Olympic gold after missing the two previous Games in 1976 and 1980
because of injuries and the US boycott.
But disaster struck for her in the Los Angeles Coliseum, changing her life and
career as well as the woman at the centre of the controversy Zola Budd.
Budd was the barefoot sensation from South Africa who created a worldwide
storm by obtaining last-minute British citizenship in order to race in the
Olympics and evade the anti-apartheid ban on South African athletes.
As the runners approached 1700m 18-year-old Budd moved half a stride ahead of
Decker. Then suddenly Decker got tangled up in Budd's foot, crashing to the
ground in agony.
As the crowd booed Budd faded, finishing seventh as Britain's Wendy Sly held
her nerve to cross the line behind Romanian winner Maricia Puica. A bizarre
reace and a British silver.
No 50 — Daley was kids' champ
MY OLD mate Daley Thompson went to the 1984 Los Angeles Games as the reigning
decathlon champion.
He took the lead in the first event and never looked back, pushing his great
rival, world record holder Jurgen Hingsen, into the silver medal position.
Daley, the maestro at his indomitable best, equalled the world record of 8,847
points — a mark that stood until 1992. His 1984 score is still the UK
I saw him soon after he got back at the New River Sports Centre in Haringey.
There were hundreds of kids snaking around the block to join up.
This was when I first saw the impact of Olympic sport in developing
participation. They all wanted to be Daley.

MPs said shareholders should use their influence to force News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks out of her job or sell their stakes if no action was taken.
Big shareholders include Standard Life, Legal and General, and Aviva, according to Bloomberg.
Shares in News Corp, the parent company of News International which in turn owns the News of the World, fell 4.7 per cent overnight after the latest hacking claims emerged. They closed at $17.30 on the US stock exchange.
MPs including Labour's Chris Bryant and John Mann, and Tory Andrea Leadsom called on major shareholders to take action by selling up. Mr Bryant said: "If you discovered that one of the businesses you did daily trade with had done something as despicable as this, I would hope that you would want to take your business away."
Mr Mann, a member of the Commons Treasury select committee, said: "Shareholders need make clear that if there isn't immediate action then they will disinvest."
Standard Life and Legal and General declined to comment.

Evan: My Little WaitressMature
Seeing Serena in her work clothes was... pretty hot. It consisted of a skirt that reached two thirds down her thigh with a little pocket apron and a buttoned up white shirt. The shirt wasn't thick so I could see the faint outline of her bra beneath.
Personally even though I liked the look... I wanted to keep her bundled up in her apartment. I didn't want her going out and see other men's eyes wandering all over. Looking at her legs. Looking at her breasts. "What do you think?" she laughed seeing my eyes going over her. It was a nervous laugh. She wanted my approval. No, she needed it.
I smiled and tugged her to me by the waist. "You look gorgeous, my little waitress" I whispered as my lips ran over her jaw.
"Evan" she said with a blush pushing me back. "I need to at least be some what with it when we get to my job"
A pout found its way to my lips which made Serena giggle with a little cute blush coming onto her cheeks. She took my hands and we began to head out. As we walked she shivered against the cold. So quickly I shrugged off my jacket and put it over her shoulders.
She looked up at me grateful with a little small smile. She was being so adorable that it made my heart race. We reached her workplace and she handed me back my jacket as we walked in.
A waiter looked up from the welcoming podium as we entered and smiled. "Hey, Serena" he said a little to brightly for my liking.
"Alex, your back" Serena blinked shocked. Her hand remained in mine and I wanted to tug her back to me but I knew that would seem odd. That's when this Alex guy saw me. I watched his smile falter and knew that, even if Serena didn't, this guy liked her.
"Who's this, Serena?" Alex said slowly. I saw Serena look back at me her eyes lighting up as she did. Her cheeks flushed embarrassed.
"This is Evan" she said biting her lip.
"I'm her boyfriend" I added squeezing her hand. Serena squeezed back excitedly not seeing the flash of jealously pass over Alex's face.
"Oh, when did you meet?" he asked.
"About a week ago now" Serena flushed.
"A little soon to start dating isn't it?"
I tugged Serena to me and ran a hand over her cheek. "We just sort of clicked" I shrugged as Serena rested against my chest. Alex gritted his teeth then forced a smile.
"You know you can't stay here if you aren't eating" he said smugly.
"Oh don't worry" I smile. "I am. Serena, where should I sit?"
She looked up at me and then to Alex looking confused. "My tables are over here" she said and led me off to one.
"What was that about?" she whispers. I tilted up her face and lowered my lips down to hers. She kissed back quickly then pulled away. "Evan" she blushed. "You didn't answer the question"
"You're a very beautiful woman" I say running my fingers through her hair. "You get a lot of attention"
She turned pink and fiddled with hair. "No, I'm not. Don't be ridiculous. Other guys don't like me. Especially not Alex" she kissed me quickly the rushed off. She left me to slump down at my table annoyed.
I'd be keeping my eye on Alex that evening.

Wolf talk
"As I said before I'm Zoey. I was born a shapeshifter why do you ask. I was trying to leave you all alone." My flank started to regenerate. And In a few seconds it was fully healed. "Did I mention I regenerate fast in my wolf form?" I swiped at him. Clawing his ear. The I jumped back into a defensive position.
"I know you are vampires your stench reeks." I lie down head on my paws.

I have one. It runs good with all ammo as long as you keep the slide slick. It is fun to shoot and a lot cheaper for a day
of fun.
The only bad thing I can say about it is the finish is so soft it will rub off fast. The first time you put it in a holster
all the sharper edges will rub right off. It looks like it has been in and out of a holster for years.

I hired Carl to serve my ex an Order of Protection. He came to my house to pick up the paperwork, he was punctual & began working that same night. He updated me each time he made an attempt & kept trying at least twice a day until the job was done. His fee was a flat rate & very reasonable, less than any other quote I was given. Carl worked diligently every day to complete the job & even though it took more time & gas than either of us expected, his fee remained the same as originally quoted. I am very satisfied with Carl's work. I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of his services & I definitely would hire him again in the future.

What do you love about your job?
I love being able to help my clients. Most clients I help are scared and anxious because they do not know what is going to happen to them. I love being able to put them in the best position possible, whether that be making the criminal charge go away or mitigating the punishment to the absolute minimum allowed by the law. I love to aggressively help and protect what is most important to my clients: their family and their freedom.
What or who inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired by my grandfather and a law school professor of mine. They both taught me that no one is going to give you anything, and if you want something, you have to go out and get it for yourself.
Describe your most memorable project.
I was memorable helping a single mother who was looking at four months in jail because of a DUI. With a lot of hard work, I was able to get her only a few days in jail, waived jail costs, and the minimum fines.

WASHINGTON, N.C. — It was a great season for the Ashe All-Stars 8U baseball team, finishing the year with a 26-10 overall record and in the top eight of all 8U teams in the state.
The team traveled to Washington, North Carolina for the state championship tournament that began on July 30.
A total of 16 8U teams qualified for the double elimination tournament.
In game one, Ashe was dealt an early blow with a 5-3 loss to the host team, putting the All-Stars in the losers bracket.
In the second game, Ashe bounced back to eliminate Parkwood by a 6-1 score.
Game three featured Ashe against East Chatham, a wild game from the start.
The All-Stars held an 8-6 lead at the end of five before East Chatham rallied to take a 9-8 lead in the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth, Ashe tied the score at 9-9.
East Chatham had Ashe's backs against the wall, scoring three runs in the top of the seventh to take a 12-9 lead.
With just three outs left in their tournament lives, the All-Star players pulled one more rally together. Hayden Goodman led off with a single and advanced to second on an error. Drew Cheek singled and Tucker Roten followed that up with a single to load the bases.
Eli Gilley knocked in a run with a hit to make the score 12-10 with the bases still loaded.
With nobody out, Brodie Burgess slammed a double to the fence that cleared the bases, giving Ashe the walk-off victory.
Saturday marked the end of the road for Ashe with a 9-1 loss to a team from Benson.
Overall, the All-Stars finished in the top eight in the state, better than any other team in Ashe's district.
The All-Stars played in a total of nine tournaments this summer with three championships and three runner-up finishes.
"It was a blessing to be involved with this group. The support from the community, our fans and our families was overwhelming," said Coach Andy Cheek. "These players represented Ashe County very well. They played with passion, grit, integrity and great sportsmanship. These boys will do great things in the future and I'm so proud of them."
Coach Matt Peters echoed much of the same sentiments as Coach Cheek, saying that he would catch himself in awe of the things these kids were doing on the field at such a young age.
"Ashe County was well represented by these young men, with several comments and praise given by opposing coaches and fans everywhere we played this year," said Peters. "The sky is the limit, and I look forward to watching this group grow in the future. It's exciting. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and community for making this year a successful and memorable baseball season."
Coach Joey Burgess, whose son drove in the game-winning runs in the team's third game, viewed this season and team as a great opportunity and example to play hard and teach life lessons.
"I have always approached coaching as teaching life lessons through a sport. Development of young people into better people and hopefully planting a seed or helping nurture their Christian life. I think I was as much the student as one of the teachers this season," said Burgess. "Through the avenue of a game I've really started to love, I saw kids and adults deal with issues, make decisions and grow in maturity through the love for one another. I am a better man thanks to God's love, my wife and my fellow coaches and their wives, and these boys and their families. The support from these families and Ashe County was amazing. These kids represented our program and our county very well."
Team members this season were: Drew Cheek, Tucker Roten, Eli Gilley, Brodie Burgess, Brent Mash, Kye Pennington, Bryce Peters, Ryder Phipps, Elliott Cox, Jordan Tibbs, Caleb Williams and Hayden Goodman.

The death toll from the Lampedusa disaster has hit 250 after Italian divers recovered more bodies from the wreck of the smugglers' ship that sank off the tiny island's coast.
Coast guard commander Filippo Marini said a further 18 bodies were recovered from within the ship's hold this morning, while one was spotted by a helicopter floating near the wreck.
Mr Marini said the search would continue as long as the weather allows. Just 155 migrants, most if not all from Eritrea, survived last Thursday's shipwreck.
Survivors said there were some 500 people on board when the ship capsized and sank in sight of land.
A disproportionate number of the dead are women: so far the bodies of 75 women have been recovered, while only six of the survivors were female. Seven of the dead are children.Reuse content

All of your friends on here are anti-American, Uther, Pesky, Luky, hmmm, Dimwit, Alexey, ronan Why is that?
United States
#125 Sep 9, 2012
Pesky is anti-American? But he loves me! LOL
You're saying Alexey hates Americans so much that he attacks me just for being an American?:P
No one does.
But STA and your gang of UGlies have always attacked me for trying to protect Russians from all your hate.
What does uther post that's anti-American? In your opinion? Aside from some mild criticism or a sarcastic observation now and then?
Do you expect me to defend each of them individually? I'm tired! ronan is cool - he's a bit grumpy but he loves Russia. I'm very fond of ronan. hmmmm posted too many positive things about the US to believe he hates the US. He's angry and he has every right to be angry. What has Luka ever said against the US??

I never said that they attacked you for being American, how can they when you're Russian?:-)
I forgot to add Stefanya to that list, now don't tell me that you think she's not anti-American, LOL
What does Uther post that's anti-American? You are joking, what does he post that's not anti-American?
I've never seen hmmm post a single positive thing about America, his reaction to any criticism of Russia is to copy and paste ten pages of anti-American propaganda.
What has Luky ever said against the US???? Really, he posts lots of anti US stuff on here.
We attack you for claiming you're an American when you defend Russia so much, you wouldn't get half as much stick if you admited that you are Russian.
United States
#128 Sep 9, 2012
I'm not Russian. I'm not Slavic. If I were Russian, I would be very proud of it and say so! You really think I wouldn't?! Haha I'm not a wimp like Annie who tries to hide her ethnicity. The paranoia alone proves she's Estonian.
Once again, what does uther post? Or Luka? Be more specific! I've seen hmmmm post wonderful things about the US and about Americans. He used to talk to Kenhunt a lot. I don't know why he had so much respect for Kenny but... oh well!

Not really, Georgia and Armenia are sweet little countries but in the overall scheme of things they do not matter much. NATO is expensive, not worth the trouble any more.
If you talk about begging for forgiveness or apologizing it is America who ought to apologize to the Iranian people for kicking out Mossadegh and re-installing the Shah. Why apologize to Chile and not to Iran? That would delete 50 % of Iran's hostility and go a long while towards peace. Why have a (costly) war when it can be avoided? Just to prove you can tell people what to do? Not very nice, not very nice at all.

Is simple. Corrupt Americans take advantage of small countries that have domestic troubles in exchange for letting spies into country to spy on Russia.

The question was could Russia involve Georgia if attacks are planned against Iran.
Iran is getting a powerful country with it's nuclear power, weaponry and missiles.
And I think a nuclear war is not going to happen in the near future. And this kind of war is not a puppet war.
Cause destruction is going to take place. And neither of nations are ready to see destroyed Geography in any part of the world.
Powerful nations are producing it , in case IF IF IF they are attacked.

And anyone can argue objectively why Russia to attack someone? Just do not repeat the nonsense about imperial ways and stuff. That is why Russia to attack someone?
We are at home we can not put everything in order, we still need gemmoroy at war with someone?

This article is from April...
" The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces calculates that military action against Iran will commence in the summer of 2012. Since Israel does not have sufficient assets to defeat Iranian defenses, the Russian military considers US military involvement inevitable"
Summer is gone and we aren't at war.
Georgia is on the edge of a new, uncertain political era after president Mikhail Saakashvili conceded defeat in parliamentary elections, and said the opposition billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili would form a new government.
Iran's elections are in June 2013 and Ahmadinejad can't run again.

Ahmadinejad does not have the authority to start a war. Ayatollah Khomenei has the last say in every matter.

Comedian, activist, and hugely popular culture blogger at AwesomelyLuvvie.com, Luvvie Ajayi, serves up necessary advice for the masses in this hilarious book of essays.
"This truth-riot of a book gives us everything from hilarious lectures on the bad behavior all around us to razor sharp essays on media and culture." (Shonda Rhimes, New York Times best-selling author of Year of Yes and executive producer of Scandal and Grey's Anatomy)
"I don't know how Luvvie Ajayi got so smart so young about so many things, from feminism to social media, from the pervasiveness of rape culture to the excellence of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I'm just grateful she has chosen to share her wisdom with the rest of us...." (Jennifer Weiner, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Best Friends Forever)
"You will love Luvvie Ajayi's I'm Judging You, and you will argue with it, laugh hysterically at it, shout 'AW HELL YES' at it, and carry parts of it in your heart to dissect or inspire.... Perfect for starting important and meaty discussions about all of the topics your mama told you never to bring up at polite dinner parties." (Jenny Lawson, New York Times best-selling author of Furiously Happy)
With over 500,000 readers a month at her enormously popular blog, AwesomelyLuvvie.com, Luvvie Ajayi is a go-to source for smart takes on pop culture. I'm Judging You is her debut book of humorous essays that dissects our cultural obsessions and calls out bad behavior in our increasingly digital, connected lives - from the importance of the newest Shonda Rhimes television drama to serious discussions of race and media representation to what to do about your fool cousin sharing casket pictures from Grandma's wake on Facebook.
With a lighthearted, razor-sharp wit and a unique perspective, I'm Judging You is the audiobook the world needs, doling out the hard truths and a road map for bringing some "act right" into our lives, social media, and popular culture. It is the Do-Better Manual.

"modern, down to earth, enjoyable to read"
...but i must sound the *corny jokes alert*
besides the occasional corny jokes which were like speed bumps on a highway, this book was such a good read/listen. Luvvie dealt with contemporary social issues on our minds without any byte of chill. This book will be your inner "side eye" when you're about to commit the typical social (and social media) gaffes.
Thanks for speaking out Luvvie.
Love a good read
The only negative thing I can say about this audiobook is that it ended! I hope this is the first of many books by Luvvie. Raw, funny and real. Truly brilliant!
I was brought here by Evelyn from the Internets and to her I want to say thank you. This book changed the whole game! From start to finish it was giving me LIFE!! As a Nigerian who moved to the UK when I was 3 I can empathise with some of the things Luvie said, and can further confirm the greatness of africans! I really just want to say that I LOVED this book and would recommend it to EVERYONE!!
Ps your shade is the best thing since jollof rice and chicken 😂
"Well worth the wait."
Way to go Luvvie. I honestly believe everybody could benefit from reading/listening to this book. I see great thing in her future. If you've never experienced her blog you should check it out.
"Great book, new fan"
I have friends who always talk about Luvvie's Twitter and Facebook. After listening, I can see why they enjoy her. This book has made me want to follow Luvvie on every social platform.
"I have NEVER laughed so hard"
This book was like hanging out with my friend. I found myself nodding and clapping, inspired and jovial. I can't wait to buy a physical copy of this book so I can share it with EVERYONE!
"doing better"
i loved this book it was wonderful, cant wait for the next one!! thanks to my internet cousin Evelyn for referring me. Great Great Book!!!
"Judge Away Chile!"
Yes! The perspectives that Luvvie gave are worth listening to again. This book can serve as a reference to have on deck whenever I judge somebody or catch myself doing the things she talked about. So much insight in a non-finger shaking grandma way.
Luvvie, duh!
Her Nigerian influences
"Simply AMAZING!!!!"
Luvvie is EVERYTHING!!!!! This gave me so much life!!!!! #BlackGirlMagic was oozing from every word!
"Extremely worthy read. Couldn't stop! Great!"
It was awesome! Just like Kickin it with a friend talking & everything like always!
"A very detailed rant"
Overall the book was good if you are interested in hearing all that's wrong with people. ( that's what this book is all about)
It was well thought out and categorized which was great. I honestly only read it because of my book club and I generally don't read books like this but I digress.
It wasn't a page turner for me so thank God for Audible and long commutes.
I do side eye many of the things she points out so essentially this book expressed what most people feel others need to stop doing.
"Pretty good."
This book was good and there were definitely some laugh out loud moments. If you're a fan of her blog then you will like this book. They're similar writing styles.
I love that the author narrated her own story but, i felt like sometimes she wasn't speaking clearly.
Of course. I did feel a bit long at times.
"Side-eye Hilarity!!!"
I laughed from intro to epilogue. The author is perfect narrating with her comedic made up words and real life stories.

U.S. pre-season tournament to expand to Asia: organizers
By Simon Evans
MIAMI (Reuters) - The International Champions Cup, the U.S. based pre-season tournament featuring leading European clubs, will be expanded to include a simultaneous competition in Asia next year.
This year's tournament, which concluded on Monday, was won by Manchester United and featured some huge crowds including 109,000 in Michigan for United's game with European champions Real Madrid.
The competition will return to the Unites States next year but organizers said they will also put on a series in Asia, almost certainly in Australia and China, for other clubs.
"In the U.S. we will not go above eight teams but we have opened up a sister company in Asia and the Guinness International Champions Cup will expand next year, most likely to Australia and China," Relevent Sports chief executive Charlie Stillitano told Reuters on Wednesday.
"It will be played in the same time, simultaneously, as the tournament in the U.S.
"The idea for the future is to perhaps have the winners of Asia to face the winners of the U.S. tournament in September in Europe, perhaps at one of the team's venues."
Relevent have set up a sister company in Asia and believe the success they have enjoyed in the past two years in North America can translate to a region which has previously hosted top Premier League teams in pre-season events.
"Our tournament captured the imaginations of Americans as well as the attention of European fans because of the seriousness of the tournament, games played at high intensity," he said of their format of two groups of four and then a final, which raised the competition above that of a friendly match.

Welcome Home!
A story based on the song "Home by the Sea" released by the band Genesis on their 1983 album "Genesis."
A sigh echoed through the small, blank, white walled room of Uhri Kummituksia. Uhri had just moved from the hustling city of Helsinki to a tiny town by the ocean. His room only reminded him of his transition from the city to the small, good for nothing, plain town he had just moved to.
The only decent thing about this town was the scent of the ocean, it brought about a calmness of home. Uhri left the depressing sight of his room, wandered through his house and out the back door to the ocean. He breathed in the salty air and smiled just a little. He thought just a little about how his life, although now different, might not be so bad. He was in a new town! He just needed to find some adventure to keep his young mind occupied.
He heaved a sigh again as he stood up. Where the hell in such a small town could possibly be any sort of excitement? He thought back through the few stores he had passed on the way to his home a gas station, a general store, a small super market. Not so much as a skin bar, normal bar, or ice-cream-bar. There was nothing.
Uhri started walking down the beach. Looking out at the ocean he thought of everything he had left behind. His friends, his school, his beach; his only comfort at the moment was that the setting sun upon the horizon looked the same and knowing his friends had seen one identical to it only a few hours earlier.
Uhri stopped, he breathed the air. He could smell the sea, but now he also smelled rot. He turned behind him and came face to face with an old gray house. The wood had been eaten by the salt, the land overgrown with weeds. The cement stairs and walkway cracked from surfacing roots, the iron fence off its hinges and lying flat on the overgrown grass. He sighed, looking at the house he recognized his feelings; used, forgotten, and lonely, just like this house. Uhri then returned home.

Soon to Have a Cult Following
We can't tell you how often we've been watching the news over the past thirtysomething years and thought to ourselves, "Man, this crazy cult would make a killer cartoon!" Whether it's the Peoples Temple or the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate or the FLDS, you have to admit they're all ripe for South Park-style parody. Don't Tell My Wife I'm A Cult Leader, a locally made cartoon from creators Todd Steinberg and Matt Rox, seeks to fill the void of American cult-humor programming, with a plot involving fictional cult leader Floyd Landers -- who looks a little like a grown up version of Daria crush object Trent Lane -- his unsuspecting wife and their small-town Texas community. We hope it's not set in Arlen, 'cause we could really see King of the Hill's Luanne Platter being susceptible to this kind of thing. See the six-years-in-the-making pilot 8 p.m. Saturday at the Kessler Theater, 1230 W. Davis St., followed by a Q&A session with Steinberg, Rox and co-producer Andy Hogue. Admission is free; the indoctrination lasts a lifetime. Visit dont-tell.my/wife for more info and a preview of the show.

Earlier this year at the Microsoft Partner Conference, Microsoft announced that certification requirements for Windows 8.1 systems would be more stringent. Industry insiders believe that the move to tougher standards for OEM hardware is Microsoft's attempt to bolster the flagging Windows 8 tablet market by pushing for industry leading hardware specifications.
What Changes Have Been Made?
With an eye on creating an environment conducive to success in the tablet market, Microsoft is changing many of the OEM specifications required for Windows 8.1 certification. The hope is that by increasing the minimum allowable requirements for certification, the Microsoft Surface and its family of Windows 8.1 tablets will better compete against the tablet market leaders.
The most interesting change detailed in the announcement is the requirement of including at least a 720p webcam with microphone on all OEM Windows 8.1 devices. Industry insiders believe that this upgrade in base webcam and microphone specification is an attempt to entice businesses and support the Microsoft backed Lync video conferencing platform.
In support of the webcam and microphone upgrades, Microsoft is also requiring an upgrade in the minimum quality of all integrated speakers contained in Windows 8.1 certified systems.
Beyond Windows 8...
Beyond the world of Windows 8.1 tablets, Microsoft is also changing requirements for other hardware applications. In machines that include NFC, or near field communication, the changes will require NCL standard conformity, which defines the way NFC controllers communicate with host devices through the use of drivers.
The changes will also require ARM-based Windows 8.1 devices to come equipped with "precision touchpads." Other miscellaneous changes include a push for 802.11ac Wi-Fi support, support for systems that use standby mode to have 6 hours of video playback at standard resolutions, and the inclusion of fan status reporting on systems that use fan cooling.
Microsoft's new Windows 8.1 certification requirements will be phased in over the 2014 and 2015 sales years.

Ed Miliband today used a reshuffle to give a youthful look to his shadow cabinet, promoting six MPs elected in 2010.
At the age of only 32, Chuka Umunna and Rachel Reeves are among rising stars handed senior positions, as shadow business secretary and shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, just 18 months after entering Parliament.
Phone-hacking campaigner Tom Watson joined the shadow cabinet as deputy chair and campaign co-ordinator but insisted he would hold onto his role as one of News International's chief tormentors on the Commons Culture Committee, usually reserved for backbenchers.
It is the first time a Labour leader has had a completely free hand following a rule change which means the shadow cabinet is no longer elected by a ballot of the party's MPs.
But Mr Miliband resisted the temptation to impose his ideological stamp on the top team, promoting prominent Blairite Stephen Twigg to shadow education secretary and retaining New Labour stalwarts Tessa Jowell and Liam Byrne.
Labour's Brownite wing was also strengthened by the addition of Mr Watson and Michael Dugher, attending the shadow cabinet in a campaigning role without gaining full membership, both of whom were close associates of the former Prime Minister. Gordon Brown's former parliamentary aide Jon Trickett is also elevated to the shadow cabinet as shadow Cabinet Office minister.
Mr Dugher, Mr Umunna and Ms Reeves are among five MPs who first entered Parliament last May to be promoted today, the others being new shadow Scotland secretary Margaret Curran and Liz Kendall who attends the shadow cabinet as spokeswoman for care and older people. Mr Twigg also came into Parliament in 2010, as MP for Liverpool West Derby, but had previously been a schools minister under Tony Blair before losing his seat in 2005.
Mr Miliband said: "My decision to appoint half a dozen members of the 2010 intake shows the talent that Labour has and the way in which this new generation can join us in taking Labour's agenda forward."
The new shadow cabinet is believed to be one of the most youthful top teams ever assembled, with an average age of 48. The 27-strong team includes two members in their 30s and 12 in their 40s, with Ms Jowell at 64 the elder stateswoman.
The biggest positions in the shadow cabinet are unchanged, with Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper and Douglas Alexander respectively remaining shadow chancellor, home secretary and foreign secretary, though several others switch roles.
Deputy leader Harriet Harman exchanged the international development brief for culture, media and sport in a straight swap with Ivan Lewis.
The move was widely seen as recognition that Mr Lewis's stewardship of media policy was no longer tenable following his abortive proposal of a register of journalists at the Labour conference, though both insisted they were "delighted" with the change.
Andy Burnham resumes the health brief he held in the last government.
And Caroline Flint is moved to shadow energy secretary, one of 11 women out of the 27 in the new-look top team. Another two women will attend the shadow cabinet without being full members.
Departing the shadow cabinet are John Denham and John Healey, both of whom announced their decisions to quit last night, and former shadow attorney general Baroness Scotland who is understood to have told Mr Miliband she wanted to leave to pursue new interests. She is replaced by barrister and north London MP Emily Thornberry.
Three shadow ministers deemed to have under-performed over the past year, Shaun Woodward, Ann McKechin and Meg Hillier, were sacked. Mr Woodward's former Northern Ireland role goes to Vernon Coaker, entering the shadow cabinet for the first time.
"Big beasts" Lord Falconer and Alan Johnson, who had both been tipped to return to the front bench, do not appear in the new line-up.
Announcing the changes, Mr Miliband said: "Together we will show how the Government are failing to help families who face a cost of living crisis, how they are failing to take action on energy bills and rail fares and failing to get the economy moving again.
"They will show how we aspire to be a government not for more of the same but to deliver a new bargain for the British people."
Appointments to more junior shadow ministerial posts are not expected until Monday at the earliest.
Mr Miliband defended the decision for Mr Watson to remain as a member of a select committee, a job normally reserved for backbenchers, while joining the shadow cabinet.
"I think Tom Watson is somebody who has provided a service to the country with what he has done on phone hacking," he told Sky News.
He added: "I think it would have been wrong at the time of getting him to serve our party to take him away from also serving our country."
He also rejected claims that some of his new top team were too young and inexperienced, insisting the shadow cabinet had "the right combination of youth and experience".
"It is a changing of the guard for Labour and I think it is important to bring on the new talent.
"I hold to the view if you are good enough, you are old enough."
Conservative Party chairman Sayeeda Warsi said: "By promoting Gordon Brown's cronies, the very people who got us into this mess in the first place, it's clear that Ed Miliband is a weak leader who has learnt nothing.
"Until Ed Miliband gets rid of a shadow chancellor who is dangerously addicted to debt and comes up with a credible plan to clear up the mess Labour left behind, no-one will trust them ever again on the economy."

Is last minute ticketing app YPlan entering the terrible twos? The Farringdon-based company celebrated its second birthday this week and revealed it has pulled in an extra £15.3 million in funding.
But with the cash injection comes a 'pivot' – start-up speak for switching business model.
YPlan is ditching its curation model, where staff seeks out specific deals to offer on the app, in favour of a platform where anyone can upload events on the service. Staff are getting the chop as a result.
YPlan founder Rytis Vitkauskas has in the past always maintained that its labour intensive model is an advantage – people get good events rather than just events. Fair enough. But by switching to a ticketing platform, YPlan is surely eroding its appeal. There are already plenty of DIY ticketing services out there – Eventbrite, Fatsoma, Dice off the top of my head – and there's not much between them.
Osper overwhelmed by orders
Business is going gangbusters for Osper, the digital pocket money start up that raised £6 million from the likes of Index Ventures, Brent Hoberman and Li Ka-shing's Horizon Ventures in June. The company offers debit cards for young people that are linked to parents' accounts so they can upload cash. The cards are also controlled through an app so parents can limit things like online shopping.
Founder Alick Varma told me recently that at its peak after launch the company was getting orders for 30 cards a minute. International expansion could be on the horizon too. Varma was spotted deep in conversation with a Silicon Valley financier at a recent Silicon Valley Comes 2 the UK event…
Tech trip to Singapore with Boris
Boris Johnson is leading a trade junket to Singapore this week with tech businesses well represented. Passion Capital's Eileen Burbidge is on the trip along with representatives from 26 tech firms including money transfer service Azimo, e-commerce business Shopitize and Inspired Mobile.
Shutl man back to clean up with Lavanda
Remember Shutl, the superfast delivery business sold to eBay last year? Well its first employee Guy Westlake is back with a new business – Lavanda. The start-up is a cross between Uber and TaskRabbit. Click a button on the app and in short order a Lavanda representative will turn up at your door and take your dirty washing, delivering it back to you cleaned and pressed.
The service launches in Islington today, with a network of 20 professionals trained up – predominatly mum's looking for part-time flexible work. The sale of his stake in Shutl allowed Westlake to self-funded the business but he is tight lipped on how much the business actually went for, which was never revealed. "Our VCs were happy with the price we got," is all he'll say.
Entrepreneurship for all with Launch22
Tech evangelists love to preach about the social benefits of technology and entrepreneurship but the reality is these worlds are homogenous, insular communities. So it's fantastic to see actual efforts made to open it up to all rather than simply pay lip service to the idea.
Incubator LaunchPad has partnered with charity Catch22, which works with at-risk young people, to rebrand itself as Launch22. The space is pitched at young people with an idea, technological or otherwise, but who don't know how to get it off the ground. 70% of those using Launch22 will pay, allowing the remaining 30% of space to be given to people from disadvantaged backgrounds who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it.
Launch22's co-founder Eddie Holmes said at the space's re-launch this week: "Peer group support has been identified as a key factor in the journey of the entrepreneur and yet is very difficult to find for most, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. At Launch22, they can't avoid it." A great idea.Reuse content

The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, put her job on the line yesterday, announcing a leadership ballot in hopes of quashing a comeback by Kevin Rudd, the colleague she ousted in a Labor Party coup nearly two years ago.
The vote by party lawmakers, scheduled for Monday, is an effort by Ms Gillard to triumph in a power struggle that spilled onto the world stage on Wednesday when Mr Rudd resigned as foreign minister during an official trip to the US. The fight could lead to the collapse of the government and early elections.
In Washington, Mr Rudd would not say whether he will challenge Ms Gillard in the leadership ballot, telling reporters on Wednesday night he would announce that decision when he returns to Australia today. But he said he believes the Labor Party will lose national elections scheduled for next year if Ms Gillard remains its leader.
Ms Gillard said she will abandon her leadership ambitions if Labor politicians choose Mr Rudd over her on Monday, and she called on Mr Rudd to do the same if he loses.
"We need a leadership ballot to settle this question once and for all," she told reporters in Canberra.
Analysts expect that Ms Gillard has enough support in the House of Representatives to remain in power for now, but she and her government are unpopular among voters. And Mr Rudd supporters said that even if he were to lose on Monday, he would simply build support and try again later.
A Rudd supporter, Senator Doug Cameron, said a Monday poll would be unfair because Mr Rudd would not have time to canvass support.
"It's clear that some senior ministers are intent on putting a stake through Kevin Rudd's heart and I don't think that's justified," Cameron told ABC television.
