When I got to to the house the door was covered in blood. The window beside the front door was smashed and there was glass on the ground. I noticed the door was opened a little so I went inside. There was a pool of blood on the linoleum, the phone was off the hook and I could hear screaming in the bathroom. I walked slowly down the hallway, the carpet was matted with blood and dirt. The screaming got louder as I got closer to the bathroom. There was no blood on the handle, I could see my reflection. I looked scared.
I opened the door to see Michael holding Jason down and Dallas spraying his hand with the shower hose. Blood was going down the drain in a soft magenta --My favorite color. Jason was wailing around as the other two held him down and sprayed him. Michael yelled at me. "Call your mom, nobody is home at my house, and don't tell her what happened!" "Fuck you!" I said, "I'm totally going to tell her you stupid chink!" "I'm half Chinese you fucking asshole!" He said. "Call her now!"
The phone was covered in bloody handprints. I grabbed a dish towel from the kitchen sink and wiped it off. I hung the phone up, picked it back up and called my mom. It rang twice; then she answered. "Hello?" My mom said on the other line. "Hi mom it's me Travis, can you come pick us up, Jason got in an accident and we need to go to the hospital." I said. "Really?" My mom said, "you know, that new skateboard park is by the hospital right?" "So what?" I said. "The last time I picked you up Travis, you said you were being chased by natives, and when I got to the 7-11 you were playing video games." She said. "And the time before that you said you were having an asthma attack, it turns out you just ate too much and didn't want to walk, and how about..." "Ok, ok, I get it!" I said. "I'm a bad person, you can't trust me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You have to believe me though, if you don't come here right now Jason will bleed to death in the bath tub! You need to get here as soon as possible so we can take him to the hospital." The last thing my mom said before hanging up the phone was, "you better not be lying."
The night before this we were all in Jason's garage. It was me, Dallas, Jason and Michael. Dallas had brought this book he just picked up called the Anarchist's Cookbook. It contained recipes and instructions to make explosives, drugs from kitchen supplies and a bunch of other cool shit. He also brought five can's of V8, a tube of cocking glue, electrical tape, alligator clips, a phone cord, wires and a phone cord coupler.
Dallas picked up the phone coupler and said, "the first thing we are going to make is a beige box. What we need to do is to snap the phone coupler in half, inside, it has four wires --red, green, yellow and black. Pull the red and green wires as far as they can go, and cut out the yellow and black wires since they are only used if you want a second line, which we don't. Then, you strip the ends of the red and green wires back and screw the ends on to the alligator clips. What a Beige Box does is the fun part. You go to someone's house, un screw their TNI can --It's a beige box located in the back of most houses. And attach the red and green alligator clip to the red and green line in the box. Once you have done that, plug a cordless phone in to the coupler, press talk, and you have an unlimited, free phone line."
We decided to use it at my moms bosses house; She was a bus driver. The garage for the busses had a separate phone line. We all took turns calling a 1-900 number that Michael found in the back of a porno magazine. One person on the phone and the other three on lookout detail: one on the road, one for the house, and last, to watch for people walking by. Dallas went first, followed by Jason, then Michael, and me last as I was the youngest. I dialed the number, it rang twice and then there was an answer. "Hi." A ladies voice said. "Hello?" I said back. "What you looking for tonight sweetie?" She said. "I don't know? Regular stuff. Sex." I said to her. "How old are you sweetie?" She asked. "Old enough." I said. "Do you have a credit card sexy?" She asked me. "I don't have one of those. Do you have nice boobs?" I said. "Well if you don't have a credit card." She said. "THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING ME!" "What!?" I said. "YOU LITTLE FUCKING PRICK BASTARD, YOU ARE FUCKING UP THE LINES, YOU'VE CALLED FOUR TIMES NOW, YOU LITTLE FUCKING PRICK, YOU'RE FUCKING BANNED FROM THE LINE YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T CALL THE COPS!" She said and hung up. My heart jumped in to my throat and I tried to call her back so she wouldn't tell on us. Nobody picked up. I unplugged the phone from the jack, took off the allegator clips and ran back to Jason's. Jason, Dallas and Michael ran behind me laughing. "So did you talk to her?" Jason asked me. "Ya" I said. "And?" he asked. "Ya" Dallas and Michael said. "What did she say?" Jason asked again. "Just stuff about sex." I said. "What did she say to you guys?" I asked. "Oh, man, she talked about how hot her pussy was and how she wanted to fuck me." Jason said. "Ya, she totally wanted to suck my dick." Michael said. "She wanted me to fill her honey pot." Dallas said. I was really upset that she got so mad at me, and why she talked to all of them even though they didn't have credit cards. I didn't say anything to them though. I just made stuff up and stared at the clock until we went to sleep.
"We have to get rid of all this V8" Dallas said to us first thing in the morning. I hate V8 juice more than anything. I wanted to pour it in the toilet. Dallas said he paid three bucks a can for them and if we wasted it we would have to pay him back; cheap fuck. It tasted like thick old ketchup with the consistency of chalk, I coughed it down. I almost threw up. I only had three dollars on me and wanted to keep it. I wiped the corner of my mouth, and said "MMMMMM." After they were done, Jason grabbed a can opener from the kitchen and Michael found a hammer in the garage. Jason opened the ends of the cans except for one, and Michael smoothed out the corners with the hammer. After that Dallas and I lined the cans up, and glued them together with the cocking glue. When the glue dried we taped it up secure with the electrical tape. Then all we had to do was drill a hole in the one end that we left the lid on. We all stood around our accomplishment, and with a few other items --One can of Fido Dido hairspary, one lighter, five potatoes, and four beers from Jason's dads fridge. Then we head out into the woods.
We went to a place by Jason's house called the five fields, it took about twenty minutes, including the beer break. When we got there, we hid behind a row of bushes that lined the fields together. We propped the potato gun to some loose branches and stones it took a while to get it all set up unassisted. Dallas sprayed hairspray in the tube and loaded in the potato. (How it works is you spray the hairspray into the tube, plugging the nail hole in the back, then you stuff in the potato and shake the cans so the hairspray fills the tube, then you prop it to the branches and light the nail hole with a lighter and the potato will shoot across the field...)
The first four or five tries (with the same potato) the potato would only make a small "Flomp" sound and roll out the end of the tube. We were using a Fido Dido spray bottle that seemed like it was mostly sugar water that Jason had mixed to make it last longer. Dallas tasted the hairspray and said, "I don't think there is enough alcohol, this is even sweet, we need something more flammable. According to the cookbook the tube should probably be longer to add combustion, I think we need some hairspray and more V8 cans, who has money?" I was wearing most of the money I had and did not want to pay to have to drink more of that shit, then I thought of something. I said, "My dad totally has flammable stuff in his shed, and a tonne of cans! My mom is home so we'll have to sneak in through the back window of the shed though, but I think it will work. We could even grab more beers, Norm won't notice, he can't keep track."
We went through the forest into the trailer park by my house. I hate being in this area, this was where the Belcourt's lived, and they all wanted to kick my ass. We got through the trailer park and to where my backyard was. Our neighbors had a hole in their chain link fence you could sneak in to and there was a hole in the fence connecting our houses that was blocked by the shed, there was about a foot of room between the back fence and the shed, so all I had to do was open the window and get someone to boost me up. I couldn't turn on the light when I got into the shed so my mom wouldn't catch us, it was dark but I found what we needed. I found the beer first, four cans and passed them out the window to the guys, I couldn't find a can opener, but I did find a little bit of electrical tape. I looked around for the gas tank but could only find a spray bottle that looked like WD-40, it was called liquid fire, it's main ingrediant was something called ether, it had the flammable symbol so I tossed it through the window.
About two hours had passed since the last potato was shot off. We passed time on the walk back drinking beer and ganging up on each other. We had no can opener but didn't want to waste any more time going back to Jason's so we knocked the ends out with sharp sticks and bent the corners in with our fingers. They were a lot bigger than the V8 cans, but we had enough tape to keep them secure, just to make sure we took off some of the tape from the V8 cans. The liquid fire smelled really strong, it burned our eyes. We sprayed most of the can into the potato gun, stuffed in a new potato and shook it all up. You could hear the liquid in the tube swish, the same time our eyes looked around knowing that nobody wanted to light it. I sure the fuck didn't.
Dallas and Michael propped it up against the branches and rocks, and Dallas said, "so who's going to do this?" Then Jason out in the background said those few little words that would from then on be synonymous with his character. "Me first, I want to do it, come on guys, me first, me first!" We all looked at each other simultaneously and shrugged our shoulder's. Dallas handed him the lighter. The three of us stood behind him, around four feet in each direction, holding ourselves like those hear no evil see no evil monkey's. Dallas held his ears, Michael held his eyes, and I covered my balls.
Jason knelt down and flickered the lighter, once, twice, three times... It didn't work. All we had was a book of matches with four matches in it. I handed Jason the book and he knelt down again. The first one went out, so did the second and the third. When he lit the last one --I kind of hoped it didn't go out; not as much as I wanted to see what would happen. He covered the match with his hand, lit it, put it next to the hole.
Silence, then.
An explosion.
And then.
We were all covered in blood.
We all inspected our bodies, lifting our shirts and rubbing our legs. We looked ourselves up and down to find where the blood came from. We were good, it must have brutally killed a squirrel or something, we started to laugh. I looked at Jason who was laughing, not as much, then he looked at me and said, "ow." I looked at his hand, it looked like someone started to draw with red felt from his right pointer finger to the top of his wrist. His flesh opened like paper corners, you could see his tendons, then all you could see was a thick trail of dark red blood flowing from his hand. In the same moment everything froze, and in slow motion I watched Jason run through the field followed by Dallas. When time returned they were gone and it was just me and Michael, I looked over at him and said, "I just bought these clothes." He gave me a confused look and followed Jason and Dallas.
My mom took fifteen minutes to get to Jason's house. Jason's hand had already soaked through an entire roll of Bounty towels. He was crying. I looked at him and said, "did you see how far that potato went?" Everyone laughed, Jason too. I lied, I never saw how far it went, I'd keep that lie most of my life. My mom drove up to his parking lot, rolled down the window and said, "I guess you weren't lying."
On the way to the hospital I kept telling Jason jokes to keep him from crying. It was really sad to see, he was the toughest one of us, I saw him take some hard beatings without shedding a tear, I couldn't imagine how much pain he was in. My mom turned to look at us and asked, "so how did this happen?" In total unison, without even thinking it out or deciding what to say we said, "razor wire. Under some bush. He tripped on it." My mom shrugged, and said, "well, at least it wasn't an eye." For some reason we all laughed. As soon as my mom pulled in to the parking lot of the hospital Jason kicked the door open and ran towards the revolving entrance door. The rest of us, now knowing he was fine, walked at a medium pace. My mom, leading us, knowing she had to check him in, and us, trailing, knowing our responsibilities ended at the hospital entrance.
Me, Dallas and Michael were not allowed to go in to the examination room, so we sat in the waiting room and watched TV and drew cocks in the kids books. You could see Jason through a crack in the door while he was getting prepped for stitches, the nurse was running high pressure water on him, and after that she swabbed his hand with alcohol or some kind of disinfectant. The whole time she was doing this he was stomping his foot and Screaming like a tea kettle, "SPHEEE, SPHEEE!" We all took turns watching him laughing and doing mock impressions of him, the whole time laughing and saying "me first, me first!"
On the way back to Jason's house, it was just him and I left. Dallas and Michael's parents had picked them up at the hospital, tomorrow was a school day, and it was a pretty long weekend. When we were about a block away from Jason's house, there were police cars around it and his driveway was taped up. It seems that when his mom and dad got home, with the blood and the broken glass, the phone off the hook and a bathtub full of blood I guess they thought there was a murder. Some crazy guy hacked us up and disappeared. True story. Jason got grounded for a month. It's a hellova lot better than if they knew the truth, so he said nothing. Nobody did. Ever. Until now.

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup flour, the maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and blend well. Stir in the chocolate, pecans and raisins if using. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until very firm, 1 hour.
Position a rack in both the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Use a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets-15 cookies per sheet, evenly spaced. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using.
Bake until lightly golden on the outside but still slightly soft in the centers, about 12 minutes, being careful to not over-bake. Cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Fulham 2 - Hull 2: Cottagers blow two-goal lead as relegation worries deepen
FULHAM threw away a two goal lead as their relegation woes deepened.
Shane Long's late goal means Fulham stay in the relegation zone and trail Norwich by a point with a considerably worse goal difference.
The relegation scrap will go right down to the wire with all three teams in the drop zone still fighting.
But this result could be a killer blow to the Cottager's survival hopes.
Ashkan Dejagah put the hosts in front before Fernando Amorebieta doubled their advantage three minutes later.
But Steve Bruce's Tigers didn't lay down and Nikica Jelavic got the away side back in the contest before Long broke Fulham hearts late on.

Defense Secretary Violated Pentagon Rules, Report Says
By ERIC SCHMITT,
Published: June 21, 1994
WASHINGTON, June 20— Defense Secretary William J. Perry violated Pentagon rules last year, when he was Deputy Defense Secretary, by favoring one American military contractor over others in talks with Swiss and Finnish officials interested in buying a radar-jamming device for fighter jets, the General Accounting Office said.
The Defense Department canceled the $2 billion jamming system for its own planes two years ago after it failed crucial flight tests. But Mr. Perry had offered to help several interested foreign buyers install the system if they bought it directly from the American manufacturers, divisions of the I.T.T. Corporation and the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
Several other companies make radar-jamming devices, but the accounting office, the main investigative arm of Congress, said in a report issued on Friday that Mr. Perry "appeared to indicate a preference for" for the I.T.T.-Westinghouse system for the Swiss and Finnish F-18 fighters. Pentagon rules bar Mr. Perry from taking sides if more than one American company is bidding on a sale. Neither country has decided yet which system to buy.
At issue are meetings Mr. Perry and other top Pentagon aides held with Swiss officials in August 1993 and with Finnish officials in December 1993. Mr. Perry, who succeeded Les Aspin as Defense Secretary in February 1994, was the Pentagon's No. 2 official at the time.
Mr. Perry today denied any wrongdoing and said any assertion that he had violated Pentagon rules was "flatly wrong."
"During my time as an employee of the Department of Defense I have never advocated any American system over any other American system in discussions with foreign governments," Mr. Perry said in a statement.
Pentagon rules permit Defense Department officials to "support the marketing efforts of U.S. companies while maintaining strict neutrality between U.S. competitors." The regulations are aimed mainly at American embassy officials overseas who deal with American contractors eager to sell their wares to the host nation.
Lawmakers who oppose the I.T.T.-Westinghouse jamming device, called the Airborne Self-Protection Jammer, expressed concern today over the accounting office's findings.
"While it may not be illegal, it is certainly not appropriate for a public official to endorse one U.S. contractor over another to a foreign government interested in purchasing military equipment," said Senator William V. Roth Jr., a Delaware Republican who was one of two senators to request the accounting office study.
"It is highly questionable for a U.S. official to pick winners and losers among U.S. companies," Senator Roth said in a statement.
The other senator who requested the report, David Pryor, Democrat of Arkansas, declined to comment on the findings.
Spokesmen for the Swiss and Finnish embassies in Washington said they were still considering bids for the jamming devices they need, and they declined to say whether Mr. Perry tried to influence their decisions.
Some of the companies competing for the Swiss and Finnish contracts, including the Raytheon Company and the Loral Corporation, seemed taken aback by the accounting office's findings. But spokesmen for both companies declined to comment on the matter.
According to an Aug. 4 internal memorandum that summarized the meeting with the Swiss, "Dr. Perry indicated F-18 needs some type of jammer. If he was buying it, it would be the ASPJ." The memo, written by Diana L. Blundell, the director of plans for the Defense Security Assistance Agency, was submitted to the accounting office by the Pentagon as an authoritative summary of the meeting.
Relying on the memorandum as well as interviews with other people at the meeting, the accounting office also concluded that Mr. Perry made similar statements to the Finns in December 1993. Adding a Rebuttal
When the accounting office submitted a draft copy of its report to Mr. Perry for comment, as is customary, aides to the Secretary responded by asking that the passage describing the meetings be "deleted from the report" because the conclusions were "incorrect and misleading." Pentagon officials told the accounting office that Mr. Perry had not advocated a particular system and that he was only discussing the most practical way to install the jamming device.
The accounting office included the passage and the Pentagon's rebuttal in its final report. "We put it in there because we thought it was serious," Joseph E. Kelley, director in charge of international affairs issues for the accounting office, said in an interview.
Switzerland and Finland, as well as South Korea, have asked the Pentagon to act as a middleman to sell them the jamming device, the Government's usual practice with foreign arms sales.
But in this case, the Defense Department is following a policy adopted by the Bush Administration in 1992 to bar Government-brokered sales of military equipment to foreign customers that the Pentagon did not buy for itself. Mr. Perry has said that Washington would help install the systems, for safety and security reasons, but the foreign countries would have to buy the jamming devices directly from the manufacturers.

American Airlines, Inc. (AA) is a major United States airline. It operates an extensive international and U.S. domestic network, with scheduled flights throughout North America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and Asia. Its route network centers on five hubs at Dallas/Fort Worth, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. Its primary maintenance base is located at Tulsa International Airport (TUL). The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. American Airlines is a member airline of the Oneworld airline alliance, and coordinates fares, services, and scheduling with British Airways, Finnair, and Iberia in the transatlantic market and with Japan Airlines and Qantas in the transpacific market. Envoy Air, SkyWest, Inc., Republic Airways Holdings, SkyWest Airlines, and ExpressJet Airlines operate regional flights for American Airlines under the American Eagle brand. The former parent company of American Airlines, AMR Corporation, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2011, and in February 2013 announced plans to merge with US Airways Group, creating the largest airline in the world. AMR and US Airways Group completed the merger on December 9, 2013, with the new holding company American Airlines Group, Inc. being listed on NASDAQ that day, although the actual integration of the airlines under a single air operator's certificate will not be completed until a much later date. The combined airline will carry the American Airlines name and branding, and will maintain the existing US Airways hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Washington D.C. for a period of at least five years under the terms of a settlement with the US Department of Justice and several state attorneys-general.
The 737-800 is a stretched version of the 737-700, and replaces the 737-400. It also filled the gap left by the decision to discontinue the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and MD-90 following Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas. The −800 was launched by Hapag-Lloyd Flug (now TUIfly) in 1994 and entered service in 1998. The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a two-class layout, or 189 in one class, and competes with the A320. For many airlines in the U.S., the 737-800 replaced aging Boeing 727-200 trijets.
The 737-800 is also among the models replacing the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft in airline service; it burns 850 US gallons (3,200 L) of jet fuel per hour, or about 80 percent of the fuel needed by an MD-80 on a comparable flight, even while carrying more passengers than the latter. According to the Airline Monitor, an industry publication, a 737-800 burns 4.88 US gallons (18.5 L) of fuel per seat per hour.[33] Alaska Airlines replaced the MD-80 with the 737-800, saving $2,000 per flight, assuming jet fuel prices of $4 per gallon. The fuel cost of each such flight (2008 prices) on a 737-800 is about $8,500.
On August 14, 2008, American Airlines announced 26 orders for the 737-800 (20 are exercised options from previously signed contracts and six are new incremental orders) as well as accelerated deliveries. A total of 2,135 -800, and 16 -800 BBJ aircraft have been delivered with 1,521 unfilled orders as of January 2011. Ryanair, an Irish low-cost airline is among the largest operators of the Boeing 737-800, with a fleet of over 300 aircraft serving routes across Europe and North Africa.

One of the things that will be charted on a weekly basis is the positional groupings used by the New England Patriots' offense, as they reveal player value and take us deeper into the X's and O's of how coordinator Josh McDaniels is attempting to attack the opposition.
Overall, the Patriots remain an offense that calls on the three-receiver package the majority of the time. That is their primary grouping in two-minute and hurry-up situations.
But in recent weeks, as tight end Rob Gronkowski has rounded into form and is now playing every snap, the diversity and flexibility of the groupings has been notable. For example, against the Broncos last Sunday night, the Patriots ran 45 of 86 snaps out of the three-receiver package, 25 of 86 snaps with multiple tight ends and 21 of 86 snaps with two backs.
Often times, a playcaller like McDaniels will be more effective when he has more options to choose from, and that's what the present picture looks like.
On the season, here is a simplified breakdown of the team's 825 offensive snaps (including penalties, not kneel-downs):
3 or more WRs: 506 of 825
2 or more TEs: 193 of 825
2 backs: 181 of 825
There is a 55-play overlap, which accounts for snaps in which there was a combination of 3 WRs/2 backs and 2-3 TEs/2 backs.

The Museum of London Docklands has acquired a rare George Cross medal awarded to Richard V Moore for his bomb disposal efforts during the Second World War.
On the night of 16 September 1940, near the beginning of the London Blitz, the German forces began to drop naval mines for the first time over London. Many failed to explode and created an imminent threat to the safety of Londoners. Richard V Moore was one of the naval staff who volunteered to make these mines safe. From the period of 17 to 21 September, Moore, along with Lieutenant-Commander Dick Ryan and Chief Petty Officer Reginald Ellingworth, travelled across London, Essex and Kent defusing these unexploded mines to make them safe. Read more about their extraordinary story.
On 21 September 1940, Moore, Ryan and Ellingworth were called to Dagenham to defuse three German mines. Whist Moore tackled a mine outside a factory, Ryan and Ellingworth headed to neutralise a mine hanging from a roof in North Oval Road. Tragically, the mine exploded, killing both men. All three men were awarded the George Cross, Ryan and Ellingworth posthumously, for 'great gallantry and undaunted devotion to duty'. Only 12 George Cross medals had been directly awarded prior to Moore's.
Moore's George Cross medal is part of a display in the Docklands at War gallery.

Hi guys, We're using Forrest for a couple of months now and we're quite happy with it, but lately we're getting 'Unrecognized file format' exceptions when retrieving certain pages. These pages work fine when I am using the in-built forrest web server, but on the production system (with Tomcat) it keeps on bugging me. I have searched the internet but found very little information about this, although it seems a common issue. Sorry if I am posting a Cocoon question here, but even if the only way to solve it is to upgrade to a newer version of Cocoon, then I still would like now how to do it, because the upgrade procedure described is Unix/Linux based and we are working on a Windows box.

'The only happy ones are those sitting atop huge pyramids of housing ladders' ... The Truth About Property (BBC2)
What is The Truth About Property (BBC2)? That we're obsessed by it, that's what. Property is not just bricks and mortar, roofs over our heads, shelter from the storm; it's something we have to think about the whole time, worry about when we first wake up in the morning, read about, chat about at dinner parties. And for those of us who aren't invited to any of those, we can stay in and watch programmes about property on TV - lots and lots of them.
Dawn can't watch the TV shows, though, because she lives in a tent. She's camping in a queue to be first in line to buy some houses that are going on the market in Norwich (a fine city, by the way, well worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the Norwich area). She's been there all summer; how very sad is that? I know what you did last summer, Dawn. You queued. Which might make you a winner as far as getting on the property ladder is concerned, but a bit of a loser when it comes to life.
Sadder even than Dawn is Cathie. What's worse than living in a tent? Living with your parents. At 36. Ouch.
It's all very well for me to say, sitting smugly up here on the ladder (I got my toe on before they went and knocked out all the bottom rungs). But, to be honest, it's not that much better up here. We've been conditioned into worrying about whether we should be higher up, or even have feet on two ladders. The only happy people are the ones sitting atop huge pyramids of ladders. Like Guy Fawkes. But they're probably worried that someone's going to burn the whole lot down.
I like John from Colchester's approach. John has stretched himself to very nearly bursting point. He doesn't earn much but if he sees something he likes - a 50-inch plasma-screen TV, an Audi sports car, a hot tub - he just gets it, by increasing his already enormous mortgage or whacking it on the plastic. It will almost certainly all come to a sticky end, but at least right now he's in a hot tub, which is better than being stuck with your parents (or with your parents in a hot tub).
Look, here's more: How to Be a Property Developer (Five), with some top advice from smooth-dressing, smooth-talking Gary McCausland. "Never forget, there's a difference between controlling and skimping," he says. I never will, Gary, I promise. "You've got to get through the bullshit, to get to the bottom line." Yes, you do. And my favourite of all: "Ambition is all very well, but it has to be tempered with reality." Wise words indeed.
Paula and Lindsey seem to be getting the idea, snapping up flats in Perth, doing them up on the cheap and selling them on, though I think leaving out heating in a flat in Scotland is an oversight. But Dan and Daniel are doing less well. They've got the language right. "We've moved that potential one step forward," says Dan. But they don't seem to have grasped the basic premise of the game - that in order to do well, you have to sell on the property for more than you paid for it, not considerably less. I think they forgot to temper their ambition with reality. The fools.
And another, also called Daniel, banging on about buildings ... ah, but it's OK this time, because this is Daniel Libeskind - The Making of an Architect (BBC4). The great thing about Libeskind is that he appears not to temper his (enormous) ambition with reality. And yet his crazy ideas somehow become reality and become buildings. "To create a building is like falling in love with someone," he says. I'm not sure Gary McCausland would understand language like that. Or "unless you're in love, you're dead".
Sometimes I don't know what they're on about - Libeskind or any of the other architecture dudes on this show. There's a lot of talk of "the language of architecture", its "vocabulary", even of two buildings getting "into a conversation" with each other. What are they saying?
But Libeskind's amazing creations speak for themselves - from his humble plans for a village for tsunami victims in Sri Lanka to his extraordinary Jewish Museum in Berlin.
This nicest thing of all in this film is simply watching him draw.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has warned employees they should think twice about reporting sexual harassment to HR
Change is a normal part of life which enables us to grow and develop, says one medical practitioner
Staff at Fairfax Media will be told today how the company plans to restructure its newsrooms to survive in the digital age. Already a round of voluntary redundancies has been announced to start in July, while overall more than 1,900 jobs will go over the next three years.
During any planned downsizing, a question for HR and employers is always whether to opt for a voluntary or forced redundancy process – but for one HR expert, opting for voluntary redundancies means "you've got rocks in your head".
Voluntary redundancy is a process common in the public sector, and can have the benefit of taking less of a toll on workplace morale. Yet, it comes at the cost of reduced control over the process and many claim it is fundamentally flawed because those who are confident they will quickly find a new job – ie. the best performers – will leave. "In my view, if you go ahead with voluntary redundancies you've got rocks in your head," Tim Roche from HR consultancy Right Management said. "I saw it a million times in the early '90s dealing with public sector privatisations; they'd conduct these voluntary redundancies and all the talent would take the money and walk out the door because they backed themselves to find another job, and in the meantime you're left with the deadwood."
According to Roche, in all but exceptional business circumstances, forced redundancy is the smarter business move.
Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) told Fairfax union members in a note that the round of voluntary redundancies will start in mid-July and applications will be taken for four weeks from the date. The note also said Fairfax bosses are working on suitability criteria to decide who will get a redundancy, and the union will be consulted in the process.
The reason that this reasoning is wrong in this case (for journalists at least) is that the media industry, as a whole, is contracting. So, if you love being a journalist, you stay put. Those who are considering voluntary redundancy in this case (and I work in the company and know this for a fact) are those with long periods of service, 10 years and more, who are prepared to get out of the industry altogether. We all know there will be thousands and talented and able journalists out of a job and there will be virtually no new openings for a considerable period of time and a freelancing career looks very dodgy. The people who are left will not be "deadwood", but they will be people who love their jobs and their industry and have faith enough to stay.I think we should be past calling great swathes of people "deadwood" anyway. I know very few people who come near this description.
After 15 years in the career transition business, now focussing on long tenure, more mature workers impacted by change, I am seeing an alarming trend whereby organisations who call for VR feel that if the individual has 'chosen' to leave, then they do not require any transition support. Ludicrous! When valued, long term employees are faced with change and uncertainty about their future, it has a huge impact of identity, health, finances, career choices and relationships. We would like to believe that employers acknowledge this and do their very best to provide holistic and high quality support to their employees at these times - preferably whilst they are still with the organisation - not just on the way out. Employees and their families/friends go out into the World as potential customers and advocates. Or not!
New research has found there is a disconnect between what employees really want and what their employers think they want
A former employee seeking $550,000 over allegations of 'fat-shaming' has been accused of potentially lying about her symptoms

Your time at Collider Camp
If your application is convincing you will be invited to Berlin and test your team, competencies, and flexibility with us. Ten teams will take part in our basic stage which will help them to answer questions such as: Which problem do we solve for our customer? How to protect your intellectual property? How to get your financial planning in shape? The basic stage will kick off with a whole week of input. We'll then shift to a two-days-a-week mode.
At the mid-term event your pitch will decide whether your team makes it into the five-week advanced stage. During this stage you will dive deeper into your action plan for the next months to come and focus on iterating your prototypes. On Demo Day, you'll get the chance to pitch your product — and progress — to the audience and the jury, who will elect the winners.
How do we get in? And do we need to submit a business plan?
Applications for the 2016 program open on May 30th. The eight week program will start at the end of August in Berlin. All the information we need is covered in the application form. A business plan and a pitch deck are optional but appreciated. If you have one, we'd love to see it.
Do we have to be present at all times? And what do we need to bring?
We will have designated times during which we organize workshops, keynotes and one on one sessions with experts for you. Those times will be mandatory to complete the program. In between, there will be times where your presence at the coworking space is highly appreciated but not compulsory. Please bring your own laptop, special tools and materials you know you will need and what common sense tells you to bring. Oh, and pack some fresh undies.
Do you provide accomodation? Do you help with visas and travel arrangements?
We do not provide any accommodation but there are plenty of possibilities in a city like Berlin. Plus, each team will get € 500 to cover expenses during the basic stage and another € 1.000 for the advanced stage. But we don't provide visas and cannot assist with travel arrangements.
Do we need to have a proven idea before applying? And should we incorporate a company before applying?
We expect you to apply with a compelling idea relevant to the subject matter and have at least some kind of prototype already. If you have not already incorporated, we recommend that you wait. We provide legal assistance to fit the standard paperwork to your needs.
We've been working on our company/product for a while, is Collider Camp still a good fit for us?
Most likely. We're interested in companies that have at least some sort of physical prototype or which are close to that stage.
Does AtomLeap invest in startups? And how is Collider Camp financed?
An investment is not part of Collider Camp. We may offer equity investments to some of our startups and will negotiate individual terms on a case-by-case basis. Our Collider Camp is financed by our generous partners and sponsors who are as eager as we are to get to know you! (And don't worry: your IP stays yours)
What if we're building something that takes more than two months to develop?
Of course you do! After all, you're not building some small app. The goal is to build a compelling prototype or demo and to help you professionalize your startup.
Do we receive funding if we are selected?
We do not provide initial funding, but you will receive € 500 during the basic stage and € 1.000 during the advanced stage of our program. This is meant to cover some of your living expenses. Then there's the trophy money for that matter. We will make individual investment decisions during Collider Camp.

Did you hear the one about Facebook charging $2.99 per month for access?
Recently, the Facebook fee hoax started circulating on, yes, Facebook, and you didn't have to be an investigative journalist to debunk the thing. You just had to look at the company's revenue numbers. Facebook's 1.3 billion users are so valuable as advertising targets, the company would never run the risk of cutting any of them off with a paywall.
But, as it turns out, Facebook is willing to risk alienating its users in other ways. It also sees tremendous value in using its social network to experiment on those 1.3 billion souls—so much value that it's still worth losing a few here and there.
If anything in recent memory comes close to validating off-repeated conspiracy theories about the motives of Facebook, it was the company's now infamous "emotional contagion" study published over the summer. In the study, Facebook researchers tweaked the News Feeds of nearly 700,000 users—without their knowledge—to see if more positive or negative updates from friends induced the same emotions in the users themselves. The outcry was swift and loud, and now, several months later, Facebook says it's being more careful in how it conducts its research. But there's no sign that it's stopping.
The idea that Facebook isn't a content-neutral communication medium like the phone or email seems to generate constant surprise and outrage.
In a blog post Thursday, Facebook Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer acknowledged missteps in the emotional contagion study. "We were unprepared for the reaction the paper received when it was published and have taken to heart the comments and criticism," he wrote. "It is clear now that there are things we should have done differently."
Schroepfer said Facebook should have considered other ways to do the study, and that the research should have been vetted more carefully by more and higher-ranking people. Over the past three months, Facebook has put clearer research guidelines into place along with a more thorough review process and more training, Schroepfer said.
But nowhere did he say that Facebook plans to stop experimenting on users. On the contrary, by setting up a system to undertake research more carefully, Facebook is giving itself cover to conduct more such research. All of which should come as a surprise to exactly no one.
Not Evil, Just Business
That's not because Facebook is somehow evil, but because Facebook is a business—albeit a business that is perpetually misunderstood. The idea that Facebook isn't a content-neutral communication medium like the phone or email seems to generate constant surprise and outrage. To be fair to the outraged, Facebook doesn't go out of its way to remind users that the News Feed is gamed, and it specifically does not reveal how it is gamed.
So we'll spell it out: Facebook has every reason to manipulate the News Feed to optimize for whatever user engagement metrics correspond to the best returns for advertisers, which in turn correspond to the best returns for Facebook. And it has every reason to use other experiments in an effort to improve other parts of its operation. This is the way so many online companies work.
"Facebook does research in a variety of fields, from systems infrastructure to user experience to artificial intelligence to social science," Schroepfer said. "We do this work to understand what we should build and how we should build it, with the goal of improving the products and services we make available each day."
by setting up a system to undertake research more carefully, Facebook is giving itself cover to conduct more such research. All of which should come as a surprise to exactly no one.
These efforts are particularly valuable to Facebook because the reach of its service is so large. It has nearly as many test subjects as China has people—a competitive advantage it's not about to sacrifice just because its manipulations make some users uncomfortable.
Most conspicuously absent from Schroepfer's post is any suggestion that users can opt into or out of experiments like the emotional contagion study. The lack of transparency and consent is exactly what outraged users in the first place. But it's understandable why Facebook likely wouldn't see traditional informed consent as an option.
Facebook's user base gives it access to one of the largest, most revealing random samples of human behavior ever assembled. Offering users the option not to participate would undermine the quality of Facebook's results by compromising their randomness. The reactions and behaviors of a self-selecting group that knows it's being watched pale in value compared to 1.3 billion people un-self-consciously going about the drama of their daily lives.
Little Incentive to Change
Monitoring, manipulating, and packaging users for advertisers are among the practices that are purportedly driving 50,000 would-be users per hour to jump on the wait list for Ello, the new ad-free social network. But even if that number were in the millions, Facebook would have little incentive to do things differently.
A few weeks after the emotional contagion scandal erupted in late June, Facebook reported record revenues and profits for its most recent quarter, and expectations are high that this quarter Facebook will once again top itself. One user behavior Facebook would no doubt have little trouble measuring is whether news of its maligned research project correlated with an uptick in defections from the service or a drop in logins. If it had, Facebook might be expected to do something more drastic to curb such projects in the future.
But however more careful Facebook promises to be, its experiments aren't going away. "We believe in research, because it helps us build a better Facebook," Schroepfer wrote. And judging by Facebook's bottom line, that research seems to be working.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

European Union finance ministers are standing by a commitment to balance their budgets in coming years while doing what they can to stimulate the economy.
''The tragic events in the U.S. have increased the uncertainties and downside risks for global growth,'' said the ministers and the European Central Bank president, Wim Duisenberg, in a statement released at a meeting here.
The prospect of a long slowdown and higher military and security costs are putting added strain on the European governments' budgets. France, Germany and Italy say they will not meet this year's deficit goals.

wikiHow to Make Cat Food from Leftover Chicken Skin
Do not throw away chicken skin as this can be used to make a nourishing meal for your cat. Ideally, skin should be removed from chicken before cooking as the highest amount of cholesterol is present in the chicken skin that can be harmful to humans. When cat food is unavailable, a quick meal can be be prepared for your cat, from left over chicken skin.
- Chicken skin (chopped into fine slices or cubes)
- 1cup of water.
- 2-3 slices of bread or leftover bread rolls.
1Slice skin into small cubes or pieces.
2Add 1 cup of water into cooking pan and bring to a boil.
3Add sliced chicken skin into boiling water.
4Break 2-3 slices of bread or rolls into a fine mash.
5Add into the cooking pan.
6Mix crumbed bread with the cooked chicken skin.
7Allow to cool.
8Serve to your cat when cooled.
Community Q&A
Can cats eat it mainly?wikiHow ContributorIf you mean as their main source of food, no. Cats' main food should be cat food, which is made with the full range of nutrients that cats need, which can't be obtained from a simple food like chicken skin.
Can I use this recipe as my cat's main source of food?wikiHow ContributorNo, your cat should also eat some regular cat food for essential vitamins and amino acids like taurine. Chicken skin alone will not provide a balanced diet and it is also high in fat.

"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I was ecstatic when received my orde earlier than expected, and I was so happy when I opened the package. my business cards were beautiful, professional, and added a bit of my stylish touch to it. I added the pearl shine to my cards which helped them stand out more. Being a new photographer, I'm so excited to pass out my cards to my clients!"

Match Report
Posted Tue 03 Nov 15 at 21:30 PM
Report: City 1-0 Wolves
Mark Perrow reports from Ashton Gate
Jonathan Kodjia's eighth goal of the season was enough to seal maximum points at the expense of Wolves.
The Frenchman rose to head home Elliott Bennett's cross in the final minute of the first half in a game in which the hosts were rarely troubled.
A match of few chances saw City create the better of them, but it was the discipline of their defending and maintaining of possession that was perhaps more impressive.
Steve Cotterill sprung a surprise with his team news, breaking up a strike force that had started every match in league and cup so far this season.
It meant a rest for Aaron Wilbraham as Kieran Agard took the captain's place alongside Kodjia, while Nathan Baker recovered from the hamstring strain that saw him miss Saturday's defeat to Fulham, earning a recall at the expense of Joe Bryan.
City started well, with Marlon Pack trying his luck from 25 yards with an early sighter before Agard helped the ball around the corner for Williams to race into the box.
But as goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez advanced, the Irishman seemed caught in two minds and found neither the bottom corner nor the waiting Kodjia, as Wolves escaped.
Cotterill had highlighted the counter-attacking danger of the visitors before the game, but it was from a set-piece that Wolves first threatened.
Defender Mike Williamson, on loan from Newcastle United, stayed forward after City had cleared the initial corner and tried his luck from 20 yards with a fierce shot bravely blocked by Baker.
As an overall spectacle it was a far cry from the helter-skelter start against the Cottagers, but stand-in skipper Korey Smith made his mark with some typical mopping up on the edge of his own box before City countered at pace.
Williams released Luke Freeman to cross the halfway line with purpose before the ball eventually found its way back to Smith, who warmed the gloves of Arsenal loanee Martinez midway through the first half.
Freeman would become increasingly involved, firing over from Bennett's short free kick before latching on to Marlon Pack's pass inside the full-back only to send his low cross into the arms of the stooping Martinez.
It had not been a classic but City had stayed patient and done a fine job of restricting their visitors, opening the scoring with a goal perfect both in its timing and execution.
Pack's raking cross-field pass was collected by Freeman, who found Agard with his back to goal. The striker duly laid the ball off for Bennett to cross from the right towards the back-pedalling
, who showed remarkable power to head home from six yards.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett was clearly unimpressed with what he had seen and responded with a double change at the interval to match up with City's 3-5-2 formation.
On came experienced duo Grant Holt and Adam Le Fondre – with over 300 league goals between them.
It would not take long for their attacking instincts to come to the fore. Le Fondre embarked on a long run down the right flank and squared the ball for Holt, whose shot was parried only to Dave Edwards to prod home before the offside flag intervened.
Agard led the City response with a snapshot that unsettled Martinez, suggesting a more frantic second period lay in wait.
But the hosts continued to run a tight ship and kept the ball extremely well. Martinez was forced into low saves to keep out Kodjia, Freeman and Pack whereas Frank Fielding remained a virtual spectator.
Cotterill's men would have to be resilient in the face of late pressure, but visiting goal attempts were still conspicuous by their absence and a late penalty appeal was waved away as City held firm to secure a third clean sheet in five games.

Lucky Me
I was lost in a haze, afraid and unsure--
Then the world stopped spinning, and there you were.
When I tried to find words, I was left at a loss
'Till you showed me your bridge and you led me across.
And I found myself baring my soul just because
It seemed strangely okay to be who I was.
As I'm lying on your chest, I can barely believe
How amazing it feels, just hearing you breathe.
Who would ever have thought, from that first day in LINK
That I'd love you so much. And I'm saddened to think
That you tell me I'm perfect. But you don't even see
All the joy that you've brought to my world. Lucky me.
