I love the story! :D
| Anime fan chapter 1 . 6/21/2015
Wow nice, continue it for a bit please

Kaito is so cool. Love it.
| Nathalaia chapter 1 . 7/17/2012
Oh, what a nice idea! I liked it very much :D Attacking him in the classroom.. Nice!
Also, I would have loved to brag about how I had figured out Hakuba's plan before we read it, but... No. I admit that I had more or less forgotten about the bomb. Eeh!
Moooving on: Your writing is excellent! But sometimes you make some mistakes - nothing major, just some typos and the likes. I also saw that you wrote 'Aoko-kun', which, I believe, is incorrect. '-Kun' is used for boys, while '-chan' is for girls. But then again, I seem to recall reading something about girls being called '-kun', but it doesn't happen often. So..
But seeing as this is an older fanfiction, you must have improved since then.
At last: Great fic! I enjoyed reading it very much! :D How lucky is Kaito to be stuck in the hospital for his birthday? Then again, he's lucky to be alive...
Good work! Keep it up and keep improving!

So Kaito's birthday is June 20th?

| CJaMes12 chapter 1 . 2/3/2011
Love it.
| neonquincy1217 chapter 1 . 7/2/2010
awww... what a nice birthday gift... :D are you planning to make a second chapter? If you are, please do _. I'll patiently wait for it *wink* :D
| WolfDaughter chapter 1 . 6/30/2010
I have a few grammatical corrections for you.
The first one is actually both spelling and grammar. I've put *s around the word in question. I'm not really sure what you were going for here but I'm assuming you meant "deserved" and from the context of the following sentence thought maybe you meant, "Kuroba didn't deserve it." This is the quote in question:
"...and Kaito wouldn't be able to defend himself against the man. He was sure Kuroba *dissevered* it. This man knew he was Kid and wanted him, but no one was allowed to take another's life, even the thief's."
Then there's this one:
"I wish I had a less *boarder* window of error, Saguru thought to himself."
This one should probably be "less broad" or simply "smaller".
And finally the next two sentences are one of my pet peeves. In both of them you make use of "you're" instead of "your". The first is a contraction of the words "you are" while the second indicates the possessive.
"Aoko, you're dad would be mad at you if he heard you say that!"
"That was you're birthday present stupid."
| Saitaina R. Moricia chapter 1 . 6/23/2010
Well, this would have been an interesting story...if the characters had actually been in character and canon was actually paid attention to.
| Happyhappy chapter 1 . 6/22/2010
Great story, I hope you write more about kaito
| Mysteryfan17 chapter 1 . 6/21/2010
Kid is quick enough that a slight twist at the right moment would let it pass right through, but avoid any vital organs (still life threatening, but not an instant death). Chalk it up to that. Cool story, and I would say a kiss from Aoko is a very nice birthday present for Kaito. 10/10

I was a patient of Dr Tupa's. His bedside manner is terrific; his diagnostic skills...? Repeated visits for difficulty breathing and other respiratory issues led to repeated Rx for antibiotics. A year after I moved out of the area, I was diagnosed with long-standing COPD which Dr Tupa failed to diagnose. No suggestion to have a chest xray or any follow up or specialist car.

|Claude Julien on motivating his team for playoffs: 'I'm only a coach'
|04.07.11 at 11:58 am ET
This is a very, very difficult time of the year for NHL coaches who know their teams are already in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They have to balance fighting for playoff position with fighting complacency.
Sometimes, the task can become quite frustrating, if not overwhelming, to manage.
Just ask Claude Julien. With his team already assured of home ice in the first round by virtue of their Northeast Division crown, Julien watched on Monday night as his team blew a 3-0 lead to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden in an ugly 5-3 loss.
Then on Wednesday, at home to the lowly Islanders, he watched his top two lines go through the motions, only to get great games from his "energy line" in a 3-2 escape at TD Garden. Shawn Thornton had a goal in his return and Gregory Campbell had a goal and an assist.
Afterward, a reporter at Julien's press conference opened by asking if that's the kind of effort he was looking for after the Monday meltdown in New York.
"Are you serious with that question?" Julien chirped. "No, certainly not the kind of game you want to see from your team and I think the execution wasn't very good tonight. We weren't very sharp. Our best players certainly didn't make a difference and who made a difference was our fourth line and the Campbell line was very good for us tonight and the goaltender made some good saves for us.
"But, it's one of those games where you try and motivate your team to play hard and play well and I think there's a challenge there. You know, you can say what you want and you can preach what you want, but there's a lot of players I think that are looking forward to the next season and so those are the challenges that we have at this time of year." Read the rest of this entry »
|Gameday notes: Shawn Thornton returns, Bruins hope they've learned their lesson from Rangers game
|04.06.11 at 12:53 pm ET
The Bruins' morning skate was of the optional variety, so though Tim Thomas was the first goaltender off the ice, don't be surprised to see either guy in net against the Islanders Wednesday. One would think Thomas figures to get the start in two of the Bruins' three remaining games.
As for Shawn Thornton's return to the lineup, it will be interesting to see who ends up watching the game from the press box. Daniel Paille has made a real strong case to stay in the lineup, while Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder have not of late. Claude Julien noted that the team has "a couple" of decisions to make for Wednesday's lineup, so how exactly it shakes out remains to be seen.
Here are some other notes from Wednesday:
– Julien said that the team has stopped talking about Monday's ugly loss to the Rangers. The B's blew a 3-0 lead, falling by a 5-3 score in a game that Julien hopes taught the team a lesson.
"When you blow a three nothing lead, especially after playing so well in the first half of the game, there's a pretty good message there sent to your hockey club," Julien said. "You hope that it's utilized as a learning tool. There's a lot of things that could have ended up a lot better had we respected the game plan and for the whole 60. I think we would have won that game. But something that sometimes you need to live through in order to get better. And those are lessons through the course of a season that teams go through and we're no different."
– The Islanders are 1-4-0 over their last five games, and that's good news for a Bruins team that might be better off trying to win these final games after all. The Flyers lost on Tuesday night, so a win Tuesday would put the B's within two points of second place with two games remaining for each team. It's a bit of a pick-your-poison situation for the Bruins, as third place would currently match them up with the Canadiens, while second place would give them the Sabres.
Julien noted that given the team's place in the standings, he might not focus so much on giving certain guys rest, stating that if you "look around the league, not too many players that have been given nights off" and that "depending on what's going on in the standings and everything else, we can adjust accordingly."
– Julien had an interesting answer when asked how he feels about his team heading into the playoffs, even pointing out the struggles of the Flyers.
"Everybody body looks for perfection and every little thing that doesn't go well is going to be scrutinized and criticized. But you look around the league, I mean Vancouver has lost two games now to Edmonton, is there a panic there? Philadelphia is having a tough time," he said. "I think once the playoffs start, the good teams are going to be ready to go, and we plan on being one of those."
|Shawn Thornton 'doubtful' vs. Rangers
|04.04.11 at 2:41 pm ET
Claude Julien told reporters prior to Monday's game in New York that Shawn Thornton (stitches) would be able to go if it were the playoffs. Since it isn't the playoffs, the B's are being careful with Thornton and likely going without the forward vs. the Rangers.
"Doubtful," Julien said Tuesday. "He's skating this morning but he still has the visor. I don't think we're 100 percent comfortable right now medically. As long as they're not comfortable, I guess we have that luxury of being a little more cautious."
Thornton was cut above the eye last week by a skate against the Blackhawks. He received approximately 40 stitches, some of which were on the inside and could potentially break from much contact.
"I think if we're in the playoffs today and he had to play, there's no doubt he'd be in there," Julien said, adding that the medical staff feels it's "a lot safer if we take the cautious route."
Thornton has appeared in 76 games this season, totaling nine goals and nine assists for a career-high 18 points.
|Welcome back, Michael Ryder. The Bruins might be able to use you in the playoffs
|04.02.11 at 8:37 pm ET
By his own admission, the last three weeks haven't exactly been a joyride for Michael Ryder.
He is a player talented enough to serve the same capacity as Miroslav Satan did in last year's playoffs. He is a veteran sniper who has playoff experience finishing his chances.
But, in the second half of this season, it's been a different story. His penalty shot score to win Saturday's game against Atlanta and clinch the Northeast title for the Bruins was his 18th goal but first since Feb. 27, a span of 12 games.
"Yeah, I've struggled to find goals lately," Ryder said. "Last game goal post, then [Saturday] crossbar. Just got to try and stay with it. If I keep just working hard and shooting the puck, it'll go in for me."
In that stretch, he has been benched twice by coach Claude Julien, once last Saturday against the Rangers and once on March 10 against the Islanders.
"You want to be in the lineup, nobody wants to be out," Ryder said. "It's frustrating and I've been there before, so I kind of know what it takes to get back in. It's just working hard and finding your game, and not letting the little things get to you. Just make sure when you get back in that you take advantage of the chances that you get."
Sometimes you get a break and Ryder made his own break with just under eight minutes left when he forced a neutral zone turnover by the Thrashers and broke in alone. He was hooked from behind by Johnny Oduya and was awarded a penalty shot.
I was just trying to skate and get away from the guy behind me. I don't really know what happened. Just fell down and they called a penalty shot. I was just trying to catch my breath, that's it.
Thursday night, during the shootout, Ryder went up top and missed the net during Boston's loss. This time, he made sure to get it on net. And when he went up top on Ondrej Pavelec, above his right shoulder, the crowd exploded. Ryder had finally snapped his goalless streak at 12 games.
"I was just excited to get the goal," Ryder said. "I was tired on the penalty shot, so I didn't know what I was going to do. Like I said, that was a big win for us. I knew if we got the lead and I scored there, it would get the team going and hopefully we could pull out the win. Last game I missed the net, [Saturday] I hit it. It was a big goal for us, we wanted to make sure we got the win, and I think we've played better games but as long as we get the two points that doesn't mean anything."
By benching him twice and putting him on the third and fourth lines, Julien wanted to give him time to think about what it will take to rediscover that touch in time for a Stanley Cup run in two weeks.
"I think it's just a matter of it was nice to see him score that goal," Julien said. "Obviously it turned out to be a big goal for us, but these are steps in the right direction. I think, you know, when he starts feeling confident about doing those things and doing them without over-thinking, he's going to be a good player again."
After missing most of the season with a shoulder injury, defenseman Shane Hnidy has been cleared by coach Claude Julien to return to action today against the Thrashers in a matinee at TD Garden.
Hnidy suffered the injury during camp with the Coyotes in September and spent the first half of the season rehabbing it before signing as a free agent with the Bruins at the end of February.
This is Hnidy's third stint with Bruins, racking up three goals and nine assists in 65 games two seasons ago. The 35-year-old Hnidy had a goal and four assists in 43 games in the 2007-08 season. To make room for Hnidy, Julien scratched rookie blueliner Steve Kampfer for the seventh time in eight games.
The well-traveled Hnidy broke in with Ottawa in the 2000-01 season and played his first three seasons with the Senators before being traded to Nashville in the middle of the 2003-04 season. Following the lockout, he came back and played two seasons with Atlanta before being signed by Anaheim in July 2007. He was traded to Boston in the middle of the 07-08 season, his first go-around with the Bruins.
Hnidy's best season came in 2006-07 with the Thrashers, when he had five goals and seven assists in 72 games with a plus-minus of +15.
Hnidy played for Minnesota last season before getting a tryout with the Coyotes last September.
|Claude Julien would rather Brad Marchand not 'cross a line'
|04.01.11 at 9:49 am ET
Maybe it's because the emotions of Tuesday night are so raw or maybe it's simply because he realizes it's not a very professional move but Bruins coach Claude Julien made it pretty clear after Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss that he wasn't thrilled with Brad Marchand's friendly suggestion to the Leafs for offseason plans.
In case you missed it, following the second period – one in which he scored a short-handed goal to help his team to a 3-2 lead heading into the third – Marchand skated by the visitors' bench and practiced his nine-iron swing. Clearly, he was not showing good form.
"I mean, it's just, he's been a good player for us and again, his emotions sometimes can be a positive, but sometimes you don't want to cross the line and certainly you don't like that when that happens. So it's just a learning process," Julien said.
Fact is, Marchand has been a good player for the Bruins, so good that Julien has entrusted him with skating on one of the team's top lines with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi.
His second period short-hander was his fifth this season, tying him for second this season in that category in all of the NHL.
And it was that goal, not his golf swing, that brought energy to the Bruins in the second period and brought them to within 20 minutes of clinching the Northeast Division before a third-period Joffrey Lupul goal set up Toronto's shootout win.
"I think I just came off the bench and tried to take an angle and he passed it right on my stick," Marchand said. "I wanted to drive, I knew there was forward coming back so I wanted to try and cut in. The puck kind of popped out there in the open and I just backhanded it. Especially in a situation where we're on the penalty kill and they're on the power play. It kind of takes their momentum out of the game and gives it to us. It was good timing, but a lucky goal."
So, there. Brad Marchand is totally capable of showing humility. And it's that humility, along with more specialty teams goals, the Bruins are looking for in the coming weeks and months.
"Come playoff time we can't just flip the switch," Marchand added. "If you're going to play your best hockey, you have to have to play up to that, play up to that point. You have to build on it. It's almost like you get momentum and you've got to feed off that. We want to get on a roll here, and make sure we're playing our best hockey."
|Brad Marchand happy to be scoring again, has no complaints about Mark Recchi taking his puck
|03.29.11 at 12:05 pm ET
Bruins forward Brad Marchand was itching to get his 20th goal of the season and his career, and though he called his recent span of 12 games without a goal a "frustrating" experience, was able to put things in context.
Prior to his goal-scoring drought, which he ended with the game winner Sunday and Philadelphia, the longest Marchand went this season without a goal was the first eight games of the season. Comparing the two stretches, Marchand can look at how he's gone from a rookie struggling to score his first goal to one of four 20-goal-scorers on the B's.
"That did creep in my mind a little bit," Marchand said of remembering the beginning of the season. "I knew if I kept pressing and kept doing the little things right, it was going to come."
Marchand, who remembers when cracking the lineup was his biggest obstacle prior to the season, said he wasn't concerned about potentially being a healthy scratch during his recent skid. He was suspended a game for his hit on R.J. Umberger, but he never thought about Claude Julien extending his time off the ice.
"Every time you step on the ice, you go out and do your job," Marchand said. "That's all you can ask for. You can't really worry about that stuff. When you start letting that stuff creep in your head, it might affect your head.
"I never really thought about [being a healthy scratch]. It never crossed my mind, I just wanted to go out and do my job every night. If I happened to be in the stands, then that's how it goes."
As for now being a 20-goal scorer, Marchand was not given the puck from the play. Instead, the puck went to teammate Mark Recchi, who put up a more impressive number. In assisting Marchand's power-play tally, Recchi picked up his 1,531st point. He is now tied with Paul Coffey for 12th all-time.
Marchand is no stranger to sarcastic chirping, but he said there was no argument put up over where the puck went.
"I'll just go buy a puck. I don't really care," he said with a laugh. "I'd probably lose the puck anyway."

Canals and Communities: Small-Scale Irrigation Systems
€ 58,99
Bisher € 59,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
November 1996
BeschreibungThis book presents case studies and comparative essays about local institutions for managing water resources. Drawn from around the globe, the cases clearly demonstrate that "indigenous" irrigation is often more sustainable, cost-effective, and flexible than has been generally believed. The contributors discuss a wide range of environments, cultural traditions, and historical contexts in which such systems operate, maintaining a common focus on incentives for cooperation, operational rules, collective-choice arrangements, principles of allocation, and conflict-resolution mechanisms. Canals and Communities can serve as a sourcebook for social scientists and development planners investigating the cultural ecology of irrigated agriculture, the ethnology of cooperative social formations, the politics of collective-resource institutions, and the sociology of rural development. The book also provides examples and generalizations about the cross-cultural characteristics of sustainable water resource management and intensive agriculture.
PortraitJonathan B. Mabry is a research archaeologist and project director at the Center for Desert Archaeology in Tucson, Arizona. He has served as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development and is a coauthor of "Rapid Rural Appraisal of Moroccan Irrigation Systems: Methodological Lessons from the Pre-Sahara."

Finding friends all over the world with RapidContact
With RapidContact we have added a tool to our new website which lets users get to know each other and communicate with each other. With this feature RapidShare makes the world a little smaller as from now on users can find other users with similar interests and come into contact with them, no matter where on earth they are. The seamless integration with RapidShare offers millions of people new and unprecedented communication possibilities.
On Thursday, October 7th, we will start with a beta version of RapidContact. At first, only RapidPro users with VIP status are eligible for the service. We will send participation codes to all VIP users on Thursday.
Together with the users we will then test all functionalities and develop the application further during the beta phase.
Those who want to be among the first users of RapidContact should make sure they are given the exclusive VIP status until Thursday. Users are granted VIP status when extending RapidPro for 12 x 30 days instead of a simple 30 days extension. In addition, users receive a 7 percent discount when deciding for this long-time extension of RapidPro.
RapidContact could not be easier: Users can find each other through a simple search. In every profile there is a field called "find me". If you enter the word "dancing", for example, in this field, then all other RapidContact users who search for "dancing" themselves can find and come in contact with you.

You ask our Advisors questions, they give you the Answer!
Today we are featuring 2 Questions to Cape Cod Mom Advisor: Gary DellaPosta, CPA. If you have questions for Gary or ANY of our Cape Cod Mom Advisors, please e-mail them to: firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get them answered.
"Gary, How Much Will It Cost Me to Raise a Child?" ~ CC Mom - Orleans
We can't tell you exactly what your child will cost, but we can provide you with estimates. Knowing what to expect will allow you to plan for the future. Here is a breakdown of the items you'll need, and an estimate of their costs.
Note: These estimates are for a first child. Bear in mind that second or third children will cost less than the first, since you will already have purchased many of the items you need.
Government estimates say that a family with an income of $115,400 will spend a total of $298,680 to raise a child to age 17. If you include the cost of college, that cost goes up to $450,000. If your child requires orthodontia, add another $10,000. If you buy your child a car, add that in, too. For an only child, add 25% to the cost.
About a third of the amount spent in the government estimates goes to cover the portion of your rent or mortgage allocated to the new member of your household. It also includes the extra cost you'll incur in making sure you have enough room now that your family is bigger.
"We are expecting our first child at the end of the summer, what costs can we expect during the first year?" ~ CC Mom - Dennis
Here are the costs you can expect up to birth and during the first year.
Hospital Costs. An uneventful delivery costs about $8,000-$10,000, and a Cesarean section $12,000-$14,000. Depending on your coverage, you'll pay anywhere from zero percent to 30% of this cost.
Layette. Before you bring the baby home, you'll buy a crib, a changing table and a swing or other rocking device. The moderately priced versions of these three things will cost you about $1,200. You'll also need two strollers: a collapsible one at about $150 and a full-size one at about $300. A full-size infant car seat will cost you about $100, and a full-size high chair will cost $150. You'll also need an infant seat, at about $50. Finally, you will spend about $300 on washcloths, sheets, blankets, towels, undershirts and other baby clothes.
Formula and Feeding Gear. A year's worth of formula concentrate costs about $1,200. If you buy the ready-to-serve type of formula, the cost is even more. You'll also need a year's supply of bottles, at about $30, and you'll have to add another $20 to replace the nipples at least twice in a year. Nursing mothers will have to invest in nursing bras and nursing pads (about $30). Most nursing mothers will need to invest in a breast pump and its accoutrements, at about $200. Note: Breastpumps can now be deducted as a medical expense.
Diaper Genies and the Like. Disposable diapers for the first year cost about $800, and a diaper genie costs about $30. If you invest in cloth diapers, you will still have a cost via the intial purchase and the water/electric.
Child Care. Child care in a day care center costs much less than a live-in nanny. A mid-priced day care center charges $200-$250 per week for your infant's care, or about $10,000-$12,000 per year.
Health Care. Your infant will visit the doctor about six times during his or her first year, including well-baby check-ups as well as the inevitable colds and fevers of infancy. How much you will spend for doctor visits during the first year depends on your health insurance. If you are in an HMO, you will pay only the $5 or $10 or even $20 co-payment. But if you are covered by traditional indemnity insurance, well-baby visits may not be covered at all, or only a percentage may be covered. This means (assuming a doctor's visit costs $60) you will pay $45 to $60 per visit for uncovered visits, and $45 per visits for medically necessary visits. You will also need to pay for prescriptions.
Toys and Clothes. You'll spend about $500 on toys and clothing during the first year.
Total For The First Year. Your total expenses for the first year run about $15,000-$18,000. The biggest variables are child care and health care.

text: The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) received a three-year, $1.3 million award from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities to improve the rates of childhood immunization in Milwaukee neighborhoods in which there are significant disparities in immunization coverage.Earnestine Willis, MD, MPH, Kellner Professor in Pediatrics at MCW, Director of the Center for the Advancement of Underserved Children, and Director of Health Equity and Urban Clinical Care Partnership, is the primary investigator of the project, titled "Community Health Improvement for Milwaukee's Children (CHIMC): Take Control – IMMUNIZE!" Dr. Willis is a pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Childhood immunizations are a key factor in the prevention and control of preventable diseases. According to the World Health Organization, vaccinations save the lives of more than three million people every year.However, there are significant immunization rate disparities among children under the age of 4 years of age. CHIMC originated as a partnership between MCW researchers and community partners using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to address immunization rate disparities. In partnership with community members, researchers designed a social media campaign and an education program and identified key factors associated with both barriers and facilitators of immunization compliance. After four years of the project titled "Save Lives – Immunize," the immunization rates increased by 82% in children 19-35 months of age, which is consistent with the Healthy People 2020 goal (80%) for this age group. This project will build upon findings from the previous research efforts to disseminate the findings from "Save Lives – Immunize" and facilitate adoption of this CBPR approach by local non-profit organizations for families and children younger than four years old. A web-based immunization toolkit will be developed to engage families and other community members, while utilizing social media strategies and tactics.

Small Weddings Hot Trend in Tough Economy: IntimateWeddings.com helps couples find wedding venues
Small guest lists are the hottest thing in weddings in Hollywood and in the real world. IntimateWeddings.com helps couples find small wedding venues and provides ideas, planning advice, real weddings and a blog dedicated to small weddings.
"Small weddings have really caught on, especially in these tough economic times. Couples want gorgeous nuptials held in unique wedding venues - without the $30,000 price tag," says Christina Friedrichsen author of Intimate Weddings: Planning a Small Wedding that Fits Your Budget and Style and owner of http://www.intimateweddings.com, a new site that helps brides plan small weddings.
At http://www.intimateweddings.com, couples can find unique wedding venues available only to those with smaller guest lists. Quaint bed and breakfasts and inns, cozy restaurants and galleries and many other unique locations throughout North America can be found on the site.
IntimateWeddings.com is also the perfect place to find a destination wedding venue. According to Friedrichsen, destination weddings continue to be huge and not-so-far destinations are really catching on.
"Charming locales within the U.S. and Canada are becoming more popular," she says.
Aside from a wedding venue finder which lists more than 1,300 wedding venues, the site also offers help with everything from creating a meaningful intimate ceremony, to how to tell guests they are not invited. It also offers moral support.
"Having an intimate wedding isn't always an easy decision. Friends and family might oppose, and that can create added stress," says Friedrichsen. "I want couples to have a place to go where they can feel confident in their decision to have a small wedding. I want couples to feel a sense of validation, and, of course, I hope they will see all the wonderful things a small wedding can offer them."
With the current recession, she adds that it's important for couples to realize that they can still have the 'wow' factor, without blowing their budget.
"When you've got fewer guests, you can splurge on the things that really matter to you. For some that might be an amazing dinner, for others it might be a five-piece jazz band or a designer gown," she says.
Friedrichsen, who had a small wedding herself, points out that she's not a wedding planner.
"I'm a writer. I don't feel like I am part of the wedding industry. I am a former bride who wants to use my skill as a writer and researcher to spread the gospel of small weddings. In my eyes, there's no better way to say "I do" than by surrounding yourself with the people who really matter to you," she says.
Christina Friedrichsen is the author of Intimate Weddings: Planning a Small Wedding that Fits Your Budget and Style and owner of http://www.intimateweddings.com, a website dedicated to small weddings. The site also has a wedding venue finder that lists more than 1,300 small wedding venues throughout North America as well as articles about planning a small wedding.

I am author of QuickZip, this is my reply the reviewers below:
QuickZip exists since 1999, it has NEVER install any adware, spyware, search bars or any other third party product, and it will never. The media player and shell registration kit is developed by me to browse the media (picture and documents) and register shell items (Associate, Context menu, Preview handlers), both are optional.
It was not developed for profit at all, instead, the main components of QuickZip (not the QuickZip itself) developed by me is released under open source LGPL license. With the release of latest "WPF FileExplorer" (search it on google) and "COFE2" (search it on codeplex) control, anyone can use my controls to build something similar to QuickZip5.1, except they cant use the name. Because of this, in this aspect, one can consider Quick Zip is open source software.
Please noted that QuickZip5.1 has much much less features than QuickZip4.6, because it's build from ground again using .Net framework.

TO THE Author.
your absolutely right.
The problem is, Is that most of the unwanted junk comes from the Offers and UN-checked extras that come with most online downloads.
The problem on cnet Is NOT the software itself but all the crap that is offered with it through most download sites.
A lot of people Mistakenly think this is coming from the software, when in reality it is coming from the download itself.
SLOW Down people....! Before you ruch into ANY Download, Always, Always UN-check and decline any offers you don't want.
Again the problem RARLY comes from the down load, software, but from the offers and extras that come with the DOWNLOAD.
Stop rushing things and read up before you just click ok and "accept" everything. you don't have to accept anything you don't want. including the software.
so stop blaming the makers of these great program, witch by the way are FREE. in a lot of cases.
if you don't want it..? don't download it..!

It has an intuitive, logical interface.
It supportsd Unicode encoding, so, your non-English file names won't be messed at the end.
The installer is trying to install third-party programs, like Babylon search engine etc.
Take care to run the installer with admin rights.

It's FREE, simple, and it does the job.
You have to open the program itself and then find the file to zip to unzip. Not a big deal, but after years of using Winzip it's just minor inconvenience.
I guess the company listened to the previous two reviewers. I did not get any additional crapware installed with this program. The program works like a charm and it's free. I see nothing at all to complain about.

- None (unless you count the name)
- Does not work. Much better and faster tools available.
- Completely stalled my PC (I have 512 mb RAM and very few programs running)
What's in a name? QuickZIP might be a quick zipper, provided anyone ever gets down to doing it. Installation was OK. The nightmare started when I opened the program. It took forever to load, the file browser was looking for files and looking...and looking...and gobbling up my RAM by the mouthful. I had no option but to frown and shut it down.
QuickZip installed 2 components apart from itself; a media player (Why???) and a shell extension registration tool which I decided to tackle next. The shell tool did not work, generated few .NET exception errors and gobbled up more RAM than Windows Explorer in one of its moods when I tried to register/unregister. I did not bother opening the Media Player as I had no idea why it was there.
I tried zipping few files from the Windows Explorer context menu. Nothing, no sound, no new zip windows, not even a tiny screen flicker.
I launched the program again giving it a chance to redeem itself.
The wild movements of my CPU and RAM meters had me scrambling to shut it down.
Since there was now a risk that my frown would create a permanent wrinkle on my brow, I Revo Uninstalled the program. There you go, no wrinkle :)

My friend if I have 512 mb Ram in my computer I should think seriously about upgrade the Ram memory, buy a new computer with at least 4 GB Ram to call it a computer, these days 512 mb Ram is prehistoric and it wont help you on anyway to make your computer faster

Absolutely none.
Installed itself and two other programs - a media player and a shell program - then immediately started updating itself. Bad enough, but then it would never start or work.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - heaven only knows what havoc this might wreak with your computer.

So it is with the Barclay brothers and the Daily and Sunday Telegraph. Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay have embarked on the possibly tortuous path of buying Conrad Black's newspapers and trying to clear the way, in terms of Press coverage at least, will be Brunswick.
Coincidentally, the Telegraph news coincides with publication of a survey of City PR firms, ranking them by value of transactions done. At the top is Brunswick. Last year, according to Mergermarket, the online magazine, Brunswick advised on e40.1bn (£27.7bn) of deals.
At his deliberately low-key offices in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Alan Parker, founder and head of Brunswick (and owner too as nearly all the shares belong to him), isn't gloating. Pleased? Yes. Triumphalist? No. Complacent? Never. It's not his way.
Imagine Parker and imagine a bundle of non-stop energy who still, despite years at the top, exhibits an apparently insatiable appetite.
Parker won't like me writing about him. He never likes to see his name in print, voicing the belief that a PR should stay in the wings, leaving centre stage to the client. And there will be some City traditionalists who condemn him and his ilk as parvenus, not to be taken seriously, not to be the subject of newspaper profiles.
They need to revise their opinions. Thanks to the importance clients attach to winning over the media, their ignorance of how broadcasters and newspapers work and their sheer terror of hostile coverage, some financial PRs now earn more than lawyers.
Despairing father
FOR Parker, who employs 260 people in offices around the world in a business worth £100m, it's all a far cry from the day his despairing father, Sir Peter Parker, the former British Rail boss, contacted a City pal and asked if he could help his son who seemed intent on a career managing rock bands.
Sir Peter's chum was Brian Basham. When older City hands think of financial PR, they think of Basham. Before him was John Addey, the ultra-smooth ex-barrister who advised the likes of Lord Forte and Rupert Murdoch, sallying forth to meetings from his flat at 8 Albany, off Piccadilly, in a Bentley convertible. Addey later teamed up with the young Basham but it was his protege who took the business on, forming Broad Street Associates and advising on a string of 1970s and '80s takeover spectaculars.
Similarly, it was Basham's hiring which subsequently took the industry to a new level when he left Broad Street to start Brunswick.
As Basham found, Parker was a natural. His cheeky chappie persona - he still retains boyish features despite his 47 years - mask a ferocious determination and ruthless streak. He can bound in, be hail-fellow-well-met one minute, cracking jokes and wearing a toothy grin, then be serious and intense the next.
Having a famous, well-connected father (whom he adored and revered, incidentally) served Parker well. He grew up around powerful people, unafraid to voice his opinions, not fazed by their presence. He learned when to show respect and to listen, when to step in and speak his mind.
Doubting cynics
HE likes to exhibit a creative, sensitive, spiritual side - Brunswick's meeting rooms contain books of poetry - and the firm is a heavy sponsor of the arts (Parker is a governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company).
Brunswick also emphasises its serious nature - how it's not interested in making a quick buck but will act for charitable foundations and genuinely cares (Parker is a governor of Holland Park School, a trustee of the Demos think-tank, and his colleagues, too, sit on numerous pro bono bodies).
Cynics may doubt his and the firm's true instincts - he and Brunswick also display a keen regard for making money - but it's hard not to be impressed.
With his father's help, Brunswick, which Parker created in 1987, got off to a solid start. Two events raised its standing. One was the recruitment of David Brewerton, City Editor of The Times. Until then, only a few journalists had crossed the floor, as it were. Brewerton's appointment, maintains Parker, sent a signal - to journalists who could no longer mock when a senior one of their own had gone across, and to corporates for whom The Times was still the Establishment paper.
Brewerton leaving journalism for PR, Parker maintains, lifted not just Brunswick but a fledgling industry. The other pivotal moment was the way Brunswick was seen to play a critical role in scuppering Hanson's plans to attack ICI.
Few in the City gave sleepy old ICI any chance against the hitherto all-conquering Hanson. But a skilful Press campaign, highlighting, among other things, how the racehorses of Lord (Gordon) White, the late Hanson boss in the US, were being paid for by the company, did for the predator. Brunswick fought hard, and in some respects, dirty, but ICI won. Again, the result was just as much a fillip for a profession still proving its worth as it was for Brunswick.
Wobbling wheels
FOR a period, in the early to mid-1990s, Brunswick was untouchable. There were other agencies but they lacked Brunswick's zeal and ambition. The firm grew and grew, and its staff seemed to be everywhere, on every bid, every flotation. Now, thanks to the rise of new agencies and established players also raising their game, Parker does not have it all his own way - by any means.
Back then, though, he was without a serious challenger and Brunswick appeared to pick up every mandate going. Parker could do no wrong. But by the end of the decade, the wheels were wobbling - just slightly, but wobbling nonetheless. Parker's refusal to reward colleagues with meaningful share stakes, a policy he has now partially relaxed, led to the departure of one of his best staffers, Andrew Grant, to form his own agency, Tulchan.
Brunswick was also in danger of becoming a victim of its own success - having to turn away work because the firm was already involved or had a conflict of interest. In Britain, in short, the agency had hit a plateau.
Worse, Parker, through developing close contacts such as John Thornton at Goldman Sachs and David Mayhew at Cazenove, had made the firm heavily reliant on deals and takeovers. In a rising stock market, that strategy was fine - there were commissions galore and Brunswick grew like Topsy. But when the market turned, the bids and floats dried up. Parker's response was swift and brutal, cutting staff at what until then had been thought of as a benign employer.
The last few years have seen a more mature Parker. He's still a livewire, still leads from the front. But tougher trading conditions and a marriage break-up have taken some of the bounce away - not much, but some.
Maybe he's just that bit older. Brunswick, too, is maturing, broadening its activities, moving into competition and regulation work, and opening overseas offices. Parker has become something of a media guru, advising clients on how to boost their global image; how to cope with a story breaking in Japan, say, and affecting their share price in Britain in seconds.
At the firm's heart, though, remains the deal. It's what Parker loves and, as the Barclay brothers may appreciate - if they end up paying a success fee - it's what makes him his money.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification
An LLC is a corporation, and can file either a chapter 7 bankruptcy which would wipe out all of its debts, or a chapter 11 bankruptcy which is a reorganization of the corporation, and is filed if the LLC still want to operate by reorganization of its current leases, and debts to creditors.
Typically a chapter 7 for a LLC is not a great option, as creditors of an LLC that is going out of business can only go after the LLC assets and bank accounts not the personal shareholders, if the debts of the LLC are backed by a personal guarantee, then the individual would have to file bankruptcy.
what do you mean they can go after bank accounts can they go after personal accounts
if the llc files bk and goes out of business can you keep the llc for future people to sue so instead of suing the person they just sue the company
if the llc files bk does that take care of past debts and future lawsuits

The time is nigh, freshers'!
It's almost coming to that time of year where pretty much every student attending Uni for the first time has their first proper boozed up event. There are also going to be a copious amount of drinking games flying around. Here are our top 8!
1. Ring Of Fire
Basic rules – The classic, everyone has their own set of rules, and with the 'make a new rule' then it can be as brutal as you want.
2. Roxanne – Red Light
Basic rules – The taxis on it's way and you need to go! You can split into teams if you want but the result is the same- everyone will have finished their drinks by the end of the Police's song.
3. I Have Never
Basic rules – Drink if you have done it!
4. Truth Or Dare
Basic rules – Fairly simple. Go in hard with this one. You're at fu*king Uni!
5. Fuzzy Duck
Basic rules – In turn, players alternately utter the phrases "fuzzy duck" and "ducky fuzz". A player may also opt to say, "does he?", in which case play resumes in the opposite direction. Get it wrong, drink!
6. Beer Pong

From VicMan Software: "JPEG" is the default data format for digital photos. It is used in all digital cameras and most of the photo editing applications. If you set the image quality not to a 100% ("super-fine") in order to reduce the disk/memory stick space, your images become blotchy and get ruined with the JPEG artifacts. Jpeg Enhancer is an advanced application that lets you remove the artifacts and a blotchy look from your images, making them look as if they have been saved at a 100% ("super-fine") quality. It is based on advanced science-intensive technology that lets you repair images quickly, smoothly and easily. If you are a home user, it will help you to improve the quality of your digital photos. It�¢����s also a must-have tool for publishers, design studios and web pros, helping you to recover the overcompressed images, supplied by your clients, to make them ready-to-publish and ready-to-print.

One surprise winner in the proposed Trump administration budget will be HIV/AIDS funding, despite a nearly 18 percent cut to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Though activists were preparing to work with a smaller, even debilitating amount of federal funding, the budget states that programs like Ryan White HIV/AIDS providers are the Department of Health and Human Services "highest priorities."
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program helps provide health care services to people with HIV who don't have health insurance. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, 52 percent of all those diagnosed with HIV in the United States utilize the program.
Enacted in 1990, it is the largest federal program made for people who suffer from HIV, and makes up 12 percent of the government funding for HIV/AIDS care in the United States — totaling approximately $2.3 billion in FY2016, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
But that isn't the only area where the Trump administration cut around HIV/AIDS funding.

The budget promises to "provide sufficient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on HIV/AIDS treatment under the President's Emergency Plans for AIDS Relief."
Also known as PEPFAR, the successful program was first started by President George W. Bush and provides AIDS and HIV drugs and funding to millions of people and initiatives across the world — though much goes to nations in Africa. PEPFAR has provided between $6.5 billion and $6.9 billion to HIV/AIDS funds since 2009.
"What's unknown is how this might affect a whole range of other programs that provide HIV support: in awareness, research, prevention, housing and other areas," said Dr. Jen Kates, the director of Global Health and HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"It's not a slam dunk by any stretch," she added.
President Donald Trump said almost nothing about AIDS during the campaign, so it comes as a surprise that he would tackle HIV with federal dollars after slashing funding for things like medical research, the National Endowment for the Arts and Public Broadcasting.
But Vice President Mike Pence is familiar with the programs, particularly Ryan White, as his website once called for Congress to conduct "an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus."
Instead, Pence suggested that money should only be spent on organizations that "provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior."

HIV/AIDS activists suggest vigilance until more information comes in the more detailed budget expected in May.
"We should be cautious — somewhat optimistic — but cautious given this budget is a skinny budget," Kates said. "It's notable that a global and a domestic HIV program are called out, but we don't know how some of these other programs might change."

Wragges first instruction on IT outsourcing" />Wragge & Co's outsourcing practice has scored a massive coup by advising new client Euroclear, Europe's largest securities settlement house, on the IT and outsourcing elements of its group restructuring.
Euroclear has traditionally used Slaughter and May and Travers Smith for corporate and regulatory work in the UK, but turned to Wragges' specialist IT and outsourcing team after an introduction from Wragges Brussels partner Bernardine Adkins.
"It could develop into a significant new client," said partner Peter Hall, who led the Wragges team. "They're an incredibly important player in this sector. It's a sign of us moving into the core financial services arena on the back of our reputation in outsourcing."
The four Euroclear operating companies have restructured their business model. An integral part of this has been the creation of separate company Euroclear SA/NV, which houses all of their support functions, including HR, regulation, audit and the legal team.
"It's an internal outsourcing. It was an unusual project, unlike most outsourcing deals where there's an external provider," explained Hall.
Euroclear has group companies across Europe, so the new company needed a structure that satisfied regulators in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the UK.
"Euroclear is creating a 'single settlement engine' across all its central securities depositories," said Hall. "It's part of a pan-European strategy that they can provide to participants.
"IT systems are fundamental. If you drill through their business, they provide IT-based services. If anything goes wrong with those systems it's a huge issue for the marketplace."
Hall worked closely with partner Bill Jones, Euroclear's general counsel Kristen Geyer, and Mirna Hidalgo, the Euroclear lawyer who managed the project.
Geyer commented: "We were very pleased with Wragge & Co's support, which involved quickly understanding our intra-group relationships and the nature of our business, and finally creating ways to implement the project in the context of divergent regulatory standards."
Hall and Jones are part of Wragges' six-partner team, which focuses on outsourcing. They have a specific focus on the financial services arena, due in part to Hall's background at Lovells and in-house at Citibank.
The team has closed a string of significant outsourcing deals in this sector over the last year, including an offshore outsourcing deal for Lloyds TSB, Liverpool Victoria's back office outsourcing to EDS and a transaction for Royal Liver.

Dr.Gemucio made my breast augmentation the smoothest and simplest surgery it could possibly be. I was scared to death of surgery and he made it as comfortable and quick as possible. Six months later it is impossible to tell I ever had augmentation and my breasts are beautiful as well as soft. I am so blessed to have been referred to this doctor, I had researched him 5 years before making this decision.I have gained a new self confidence that is unbelievable in the meantime! I would highly recommend him and my friends would agree that he is truly "atlanta's top doc"!!

But there was a little bit lost in translation. Rambo was overwhelmed with what he saw at Georgia, but never fully committed to Georgia.
"That was my first time to any school, and I really didn't know a lot about recruiting," Rambo admitted.
Rambo who admits the entire ordeal was very confusing, has been slow to pick up the phone because of the event. The fanfare has been overwhelming.
"I get a ton of calls every day. I get texted a ton, too," Rambo said.
The rising senior, who still favors Georgia over all other schools, doesn't like the limelight at all. He's very rarely left his hometown, and still helps his father bail hay and build fences – if he has to – in the summer.
Rambo's highlight tape has some schools convinced he could be their option quarterback. But he's got no intention of doing so – saying that he's going to play safety in college. Flying around the ball at all times, it's not abnormal to see Rambo make a play early and often during his lengthy highlight tape.
As for recruiting, Rambo says he's trying to take it easy on that front – focusing on Seminole County's team instead. After all, this small town guy has other things to focus on, and there's plenty of hay in Donaldsonville to keep in busy all summer long when he's not practicing football.


text: "But then again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror." So, hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I've visited this page. Oops! You know how you get obsessive about one thing for like a month, then quickly lose interest, then re-discover it and fall in love with it all over again? That's how I feel right meow. I feel like I need to re-introduce myself as a completely different person! So here it goes. I'm an 18 year old lady from Ireland. My name is Nadine, but I have the nickname Midge. I'm a real shortarse. I'm an artist and a bassist. I'm in a long-term relationship with my boyfriend Ryan, and we have been together since the 24th of March, 2014. He's my first boyfriend (yay!). A lot has happened to not only the both of us, but me in 2014. Due to these events, I am a changed person for the better I would like to think! I now have four tattoos - my starsign Aries is tattooed on my inner left arm, I have Ryan's heartrate tattooed on my hip, some watercolour bubbles on my right forearm and my mom has got matching ones on her left wrist, and I have a piece of bread on my right ankle. Yes, bread. It's got peanut-butter on it, and my best friend has the same, only hers is Jelly. I have a total of nine piercings! Most are on my ears, but I also have my nose and my labret pierced. And then, of course, there are some small facts that haven't changed at all... I'm still a huge Lord of the Rings nerd. I *$*#ing love Metallica. I got to see Monster Truck, Slash, King 810, KoRn and Slipknot live! Metal is life for me. I love to draw! My favourite materials to make art with are Ink (Indian Ink and even just your everyday Bic pen), Acrylic Paint, pencils, Watercolour pencils and charcoal. I've gotten into gaming after purchasing a PS3 for Ryan, even though we still love our PS2. My favourite games to play are Devil May Cry, Bloodrayne (EPIC), Call of Duty: Black Ops, Dark Souls II, the entire Bioshock series, Bayonetta and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. I still love Anime. Always have, always will. I love to read, and love to write even more. To be honest, I don't really watch much TV, but if it's on Netflix, I'll watch it. My favourite TV shows include The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black, House M.D, Hellsing and Hellsing: Ultimate, Black Cat and InuYasha. And I think that's it... Yup! If any of you are on Tumblr and like to see irrelevant @%@@, I'll leave my Tumblr link for you guys to indulge in.

Losing Lily Christianson
I walked around town for hours after that, shambling across the sidewalks aimlessly. Inevitably I found myself pacing up and down Douglas to the harbour, city blocks I had walked only yesterday with Lily Christianson.
Every time I'd walk past the café – or any café, for that matter – I'd peer into the windows. And every time I'd see only myself reflected there, reflected on the outside of the panes. I don't know if I hoped to see her inside, but I was always alarmed when I caught sight of myself walking by. Me, wrapped in a green sweater despite the warmth and toting a laptop bag, hunching my back against the burden.
I'm back home now, and the sweater and bag have both been cast off and lie forgotten on the ground. A cup of coffee rests on the table beside me, my third since returning. Blank paper sits unused beside the coffee, black pens sitting atop it. I want to write, I'd been trying to write all afternoon.
But all I could do was stare.
I stare at the paper. I stare at the pens. I stare at the coffee.
Most often I'm staring at my reflection in the window, hoping that she'll walk by. I'm on the third floor, and I know that isn't possible, but I stare at the window nonetheless.
How often had I stared out the windows of the café? Most everyday, more so when I had the Block.
And then she'd walk by, and I'd forget all about having to meet deadlines, having to impress Midge, and just having to write.
But she said that I was always writing when she was around.
I ponder the words, and then remember how her disappearance would be marked by the audible click of my laptop as I folded it down. Always my reverie would end with more words written than I'd remember.
She really is my muse.
Even when we were together I'd be writing, or so she said. That would account for the odd stares people gave us, and the hushed voices they would talk in while glancing our way. I'd think myself crazy, too; talking with a woman perfect as Lily and all the while scribbling on napkins.
And then I remember.
I reach into a back pocket and pull out the folded square of wrinkled paper, which is covered in black markings. It's the only thing I've written today, and so I start to read:
Elsie sits atop one of the high stools, alone and without even a drink. As I approach she looks up and–
My eyes are torn from the words as my cell starts to ring, the ringtone telling me that it's Midge.
What could she want now? I'd given her everything I had this morning.
"Hello, Midge."
"Declan, exactly what are you trying to write?" Skipping straight to the point: that's my Midge.
"Uhm, a romance," I answer. "I thought that would be somewhat obvious."
"Oh, it's obvious." Midge sounds slightly annoyed. "But how long are you aiming for this novel to be?"
"Well, I–"
"You don't know, do you? That's why there's no plot yet!"
I'm dumbfounded at her words. No plot? There was plenty going on in my story, enough at least to merit all the chapters I'd given her.
"I'll take your silence as disbelief. Let me explain." Her tone of voice is back to normal, what I would expect more-or-less from her. "You write beautifully, Declan. That's why I was so keen on being your agent.
"That said, your story is going nowhere. You can't just write a chronicle of dates and romantic meetings. I need a so what. There needs to be a conflict, a climax, a resolution! All that good stuff you were supposed to learn in high school."
"Huh," is all I can muster.
"You can't be fawning over this girl and do nothing at all to develop the romance!" Here, she pauses. "Look, I've already told you that she's too perfect, too fake. Well, that can be her flaw. That can be the cause of the conflict."
"You think so?" I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
"Well, it's a start. I'm sure you can think of something better to keep the narrative alive. There are only so many coffee shop dates a girl will go on, you know."
"Really?" I whisper.
"Really," she answers from the other end.
"Thank you Midge. I think you might have saved my story."
"It's my job, but I'm glad to help, Declan. Goodbye."
A click, and now I'm left with the dial tone. I tap a key and my cell ends the call, leaving me in silence once more.
I turn to the window and look outside, but only my reflection greets me.
