Since 1945, both Spain and Portugal have experienced significant market transformations. These countries were both led by dictators for many years until the mid 1970s when each moved toward more democratic governments and more open markets. As a result, each experienced significant changes in output with Spain's becoming a model for proper market based transformations. Although Portugal's transformation has been less impressive it experienced improvements too. This paper uses a Parente and Prescott (J Polit Econ 102(2), 298–321, 1994; 2000) type model to investigate the recent transformations in each of these countries and quantify the extent to which barriers to technological adoption may have played for these two development experiences. Our results indicate that from 1945 to 2003 these barriers have fallen considerably but remain high, and are somewhat higher in Portugal than in Spain.

Fitness My fitness pal app for IPad
Hey everyone, does anyone use the My Fitness Pal app for I phone or IPad? My sister has been using it for a year and a half and lost 40 lbs tracking her calories and recording what she ate to put it all in perspective.
Im using it and I love it! It is way more effective than keeping a food journal. I think you can also download it on the computer if you don't have an apple device. I want to lose ten pounds but I also got the app to see how much nutrition I am actually getting from my diet and I want to increase my vegetable and water intake.
I just wanted to share some basic info on how it works. You enter your current weight, your goal weight and how much weight you want to lose. Then it will calculate how many calories you can consume everyday to coincide with your goal. You can add all the food you eat to see exactly how much you are consuming including what percent of your diet is made up of fats, salt, carbs, protein ect. If you exercise the app will add the calories you burn back into your daily calorie intake, so working out gets you more calorie allowance in food. You can also add your friends for moral support, see each others updates and send them messages to add motivation.
The app is free and quite useful.
I just desired to discuss some primary information on how it works. You get into your present body weight, your objective to lose body weight and how much body weight you want to reduce. Then it will determine how many calorie consumption you can eat daily to match with your objective.
Yes I use my fitness pal for about a year and I've lost over 30 pounds it really works. I love it. I currently just got a personal trainer and even he says it's an awesome app for me to stay on track .
It really works stay motivated and I think it's had a forum as well so you can talk to people so stay strong!!

Global wind capacity grew by 29 percent in 2008 with America passing Germany to become the world's leading wind power generator. Worldwatch, a Washington-based research organization said that global wind capacity rose by over 27,000 megawatts, to 120,798 MW last year. Wind now provides 1.5 percent of the world's energy demand, up from 0.1 percent in 1997. U.S. wind capacity increased by 50 percent to 25,170 MW, or 21 percent of global capacity.
In Europe, wind represented the leading source of new power capacity, with 8,877 MW installed last year. This was 28 percent more than new natural gas capacity and over 10 times more than new coal.
Europe now generates 65,946 MW of wind power, or 55 percent of global capacity. Germany still leads in Europe, generating 23,903 MW of wind power, but saw new installations drop slightly in 2008.
In Asia, China was the second globally in new capacity last year, adding some 6,300 MW to bring its total to over 12,200 MW. China has officially surpassed its 2010 goal of 10,000 megawatts of installed wind power and a senior energy official said in April the country will have 100,000 MW in place by 2020.

Posts tagged 'Party Themes'RSS Feed
Considering having a butterfly birthday party? Many little girls love butterflies because of their beauty and elegance, making it a great choice of themes. Even so, it can sometimes be a challenge finding the right decorations and favors to bring your party together. Although these parties can be challenging to prepare for, they are a great choice for girls of all ages. You may even be surprised how easy it is to make a beautiful, elegant, and even fun butterfly birthday party for your favorite girl!
Butterfly Birthday Party for Toddlers
Want to create the perfect butterfly birthday party for your little princess? Some of the cutest first birthday parties we have seen for little girls have actually been butterfly parties. You can find adorable party decorations and tableware, such as the Butterfly Baby's First Birthday Invitations, plates, and even cups. You can even find little onesies with butterfly designs for your toddler's first birthday, helping you to make the party very special. Don't forget, you can also get butterfly decorations for the cupcake or cake to add a bit of flutter for all of your guests. When getting items for the party, just make sure you pay attention to small piece warnings, and examine everything carefully to make sure it won't be a potential choking hazard for your toddler.
Butterfly Birthday Party for Girls
While infants can enjoy the eye-catching beauty of a butterfly theme, probably the most memorable and cute butterfly birthday parties are for girls 3 to 12. Not only can they have an adorable butterfly birthday party, but they can pretend to be one as well, with adorable butterfly wings. Add in a few fairy accessories, and girls can pretend to be butterfly fairies! Many girls especially love to show off with cute light up butterfly wands, too! Since butterfly wings are fairly cheap, you can buy these wings for all the girls attending the party without spending a great deal of money. Don't forget too that you can also find adorable butterfly tableware, perfect for younger girls to help soar through the cleanup. With the right butterfly party favors, you can easily make your daughter's butterfly themed dreams come true!
Butterfly Birthday Party for Teenagers
Since many teenagers want to avoid childish birthday parties, it is important that you focus on elegant and classy decorations for a teenager's birthday party. For older girls, consider having a butterfly masquerade themed birthday party, with everyone having their own butterfly mask. You can even find confetti designed just for leaving around the house or your venue of choice. To add that extra touch, don't forget that you can also find elegant party favor bags featuring butterfly outlines that are perfect for women of all ages!

Problem is, I am not sure what the outer diameter of the shocks are.
Does the vert sway fit on a sedan?
Oh sorry. Didn't catch that part as I was checking on my phone. Let me find my old order form and I will tell you which size RSM's I ordered.
As far as the vert rear sway on a sedan, I don't know. You can probably search through the forum and find out though.
I'll get back to you.
EDIT: Ok, so Rogue Eng. give the option of ordering a 12mm adapter plate for certain suspensions (mainly coilovers I think). I did not need this plate for the FSD's. So can confirm that they are 10mm shocks. Same as Koni Sports.
A note on the sways:
I believe that Sport package non-m e46 had 23.5/24mm front sways and 18mm rear sways. The M3 front sway is 26mm and the convertible rear sway is 20mm. So a 2mm increase at both ends. Your ZHP I believe has 23.5 & 18 as standard. The set you are looking at on Turner are 27/21. So a little beefier. However given that they are for all e46 applications it makes me think rear sways are universal (except M3), so an educated guess would say that you can put the rear vert sway in a sedan.
Also on Turner here is the m3 front sway for only $50.
The rear 20mm sway can be bought new from bmwmercedes parts.com for $107. Finding a used one is tough in my experience.
Confirm these will both fit the sedan because I am not to be trusted! If they do work, you have a decent upgrade for around $200+ cheaper than aftermarket options.
One last thing I noticed is that you are getting meyle tierods. I would stick with OEM for these if I were you (Lemforder). Just my $0.02

So it's been a while since I wrote anything of consequence here, mainly because my ski season crumbled to pieces due to inadequate training preparation. I did some races and basically found out that my body doesn't clear lactic acid at all, and I'm not getting faster, I'm getting slower. So there wasn't much to report, at least not much I felt like talking about.
I did learn some things about training that should have been obvious in retrospect -- namely, that piling lots of intensity work on top of a mediocre base affects you a lot faster and harder than you'd expect. I raced cross all fall, and I was living in Florida last summer, so I didn't exactly get the base miles in. During cross season I was racing twice per weekend and riding once per week -- a VERY race-heavy schedule, but with 4 days off per week it seemed to work out.
Then ski season started and I tried to change that to 2 races per weekend and 3 training days, with 2 of them being hard days. I figured that 5-7 hours a week of training wasn't really that much, even if it was mostly intense. It didn't work. In retrospect, I was at my fastest the 3rd week of January, and I've just been slowing down since then.
My theory is that without adequate base training, my body just couldn't use the interval training, and instead it just broke down. I know, it's revolutionary! It's the kind of thing that everyone kind of knows about, but I know I never would've thought it would happen to me doing 3-4 hard sessions per week, with 2 days off. I thought (like most people, I'd guess) that overtraining was something that happened by doing two-a-days like a maniac for weeks on end, not by training hard for an hour a night.
Anyway, I took some time off, got sent to New York for a bit, so now I'm back into racing. The season's a wash but whatever, it's still fun to suffer in the cold. I think. This past weekend was the "Great Glen to Bretton Woods Nordic Adventure," which was pretty high on the suffer factor.
So a 50k classic race would've been difficult, even if it wasn't the ole' "Nordic Adventure." Now add in 2000+ feet of climbing and 18k without tracks, and you've really got a recipe for pain. And it only costs $85!
Ok, so about 200 people or so lined up in front of me. This was part of the plan, I didn't want to get excited early and go too hard. So instead I steadily passed people for 5k to start the race, and made sure anyone really fast was far away from me. That went pretty well. At around 6k the course leaves the Great Glen trail system and heads into the woods on a "trail" that is half snowmobile packed and half snowshoe packed. There's no opportunity to pass for five minutes, you have to sidestep up a ledge, cross a river, and a bunch of other things that you'd never expect to do on race skis. Things got kind of backed up in here so I was able to just hang out for a bit since I couldn't pass anyone.
After that we opened up onto the Dolly Copp trails, which seemed wide by comparison, just wide enough for two side-by-side, rock solid tracks to be set. The tracks were rock solid because it was in the upper 30s before, and now they had a slight dusting of powder in them. My kick was pretty terrible, along with everyone else who wasn't using a klister binder, so I started abusing my arms to climb. Which is always a good idea when you have 42k to go and you have the upper body strength of a 3rd grader.
Strangely enough I started feeling a lot less peppy around the 10k mark, probably because that's about how long most of my training sessions have gone for this year. I passed some fools on an insanely fast descent and then gave the places back at the bottom eating a PowerGel at the first feed station at 14k. Then began the first big climb... 2k or so, 400-500 vertical feet? It was sunny. I was hot, my wax wasn't working, and I was too stubborn to rewax, so I was dragging myself uphill with my arms some more. Only 35k to go...
Near the top the sun went away and the snow changed back to something more powdery. My decision to not wax warmer looked a lot better, I started kicking again and passing some people. There was a nice long descent to the next feed station at 19k, and I was moving pretty well. I got to the bottom, crossed a dirty and rocky snowmobile trail (a true hallmark of this race) and noticed that my arms seemed strangely tired... almost like they didn't recover from my previous efforts. Gee, wasn't I just mentioning this was a problem with my fitness this year? Luckily I was down to 31k left.
The next section of trail started out rolling again and I was still slipping. I decided that I had to do something about it, so I stopped to wax warmer. I lost about 8 places and 4 minutes but then I was kicking with a vengeance -- so of course it started snowing, and my wax started dragging. I'd like to play this up like it was a huge problem, but it really wasn't. Part of the race is variable conditions, and I'm sure everyone out there either had too much kick or too little at different parts of the course. So for the next 30k I had good kick and decent glide. But it wasn't perfect, so that's clearly what was holding me back...
I ended up with a group of 3 other people skiing into a stiff headwind on the powerline and rail trail section to the 29k mark. I tried to lead this group briefly since they seemed to be going slowly, but once I was out in front I figured out how windy it actually was, and quickly fell back to the end of the group after a 3 minute pull. Since we weren't bikers, one guy ended up leading into the wind for probably 7k. He asked the guy in 2nd if he wanted to take a turn, the guy said "not really" and that was it! I was surprised. No one's making me ski 7k into the damn wind. I thought about taking a pull, but my arms were freaking shot and once we were down on the rail trail it was all double poling. I could barely stay on the back of the group with the draft, so a turn at the front wasn't going to work out.
After the 29k feed station (only 21k to go!) the race really hits its "piece de resistance" or "coup d'etat" or "some other french phrase for difficult section." From 29k to 38k the trail climbs Jefferson notch, a 1600 foot elevation gain. It's on a forest service road, so the gradient isn't that terrible, but it's a popular snowmobile trail. So there were no tracks, really, just piles of sugary ice and rocks churned up by snow machines. Bad glide, bad kick, 9k, big hill. Not fun.
I started out after fueling with more power gels and a brownie about 50 yards behind some people, and I dangled there for about 15 minutes of steady but kickable climbing. I'd done this once before so I knew it was incredibly long, so I talked myself out of picking up the pace to catch up with them. This was important because after about 25 minutes of constant striding my legs, back and arms had reached new heights of pain -- there's just no way to train for that much striding when you ski at freaking Weston. Even my calves and feet were getting in on the pain, since due to the lack of tracks the footing was terrible and you could never relax your ankles.
Out of nowhere, Liam Cassidy passed me like I was standing still. I had been looking back (always a sign things are going well) about once every 2 minutes for quite some time and never saw him, and then suddenly he went tearing by me on the steepest, longest grade so far, so steep that I was reduced to walking. While I struggled, I watched him pass another 3 people in front of me and go out of sight having made up at least a minute on me in about 180 seconds. It was really impressive.
I passed the 35k mark after maybe 40 minutes of climbing. I was now walking almost every steep section, and my whole body had been soaking in lactic acid for what seemed like hours. Realizing the top was nowhere close, I made a decision that ultimately turned around my race -- I ate my 5th Powergel of the day while walking up a steep climb. It's amazing the effect, both physically and psychologically, those things have on you. It only took a few minutes to make up the time I'd lost on the people around me, and then I was passing people for the first time in an hour. I made up 3 places in the next 3k to the crest of the hill, and was rewarded with a beautiful sight -- the 38k feed station, and no less than six people with numbers crowded around it.
I'd just eaten a gel, and it's 12k downhill to the finish (we're at 3000 feet at this point), so I didn't see any reason to stop. Everyone else was feeding like they had just climbed 1600 feet. I downed a powerade as fast as I could and skied through, but not before seeing Liam come wandering out of a heated tent holding his skis. I love this guy. He probably made up 10 minutes, AT LEAST, on the climb against me, and then he gives it all back by taking his skis off and going in a tent at the top. That's a man who races for fun, not for places.
But I race for places, so I was heading down the backside of Jefferson notch. Somehow, losing 1600 feet requires a lot of double-poling, so it wasn't really that restful, but a welcome rest for my legs. It was snowing pretty hard over here so the tracks were really slow -- the fastest way down was through the ice and rocks left by the snowmobiles. Not exactly relaxing, but I did pass two more people that way. One of them stepped out into the sled track with me once I caught him and we traveled together the rest of the way. The two of us passed Ken Kimball -- whom I owed for pulling me 7k earlier -- and a Michigan Tech coach -- in town for NCAA's this week -- quite easily. Even though my skis felt slow in the new snow, a lot of people were having a lot more trouble than me.
In the past the race has ended with a long, gradual downhill section along the river, so I was planning on just hanging onto my traveling companion until the end and then winning the sprint. So, I was a little surprised to see the course take a left onto "Coronary Hills" with about 3k to go. My legs hadn't taken a kick in about 8k, so of course my hamstring immediately cramped up on the hill and I almost fell down. My fellow racer announced that he was "pretty pissed" as we dragged up the hill.
But really, after a 9k climb, it just wasn't that bad. Two more minutes of pain and we hit the top, then a descent onto the golf course and more double poling in fresh snow. My arms have NEVER hurt that much, or been as useless, as they were at this point, but the guy I was racing against was content to wait behind me as we slowed to a crawl with 500m to go. I kept expecting a finishing burst from him, but when it didn't come with 200m to go I upped the pain one last time to pull away for a glorious 35th place finish.
...And then spent the next 2 hours in the fetal position or lying down in the lodge. And then lay down on the floor at dinner. And it's Wednesday, and my hamstring is still sore.
Can't wait till next year.

Donate to The Gulf
From Texas to Florida, your donation will help us lead long-term restoration efforts in the Gulf of Mexico.
Business and community leaders in the Gulf clearly recognize the important link between a healthy environment and a thriving, resilient economy. Here is one example of a leader working to make a difference in the Gulf.
Pasco Gibson is a life-long waterman and resident of Santa Rosa County, Florida, who "earned his first nickel" fishing with his grandfather when we was twelve years old. His family also owns Nichols Seafood Restaurant, where they serve fresh catch from the Gulf of Mexico.
I have lived in Santa Rosa county my whole life and made my living since I was a child off the water fishing, both commercial and recreational. The most drastic change we've encountered is the decline in oysters. Oyster harvesting used to be a viable industry in our area, employing thirty boats and their crew at one time, which has all but vanished at this time. I see hope for change, but it is going to take some work on all of our parts to revitalize the industry.
"In my opinion, [the] restoration of our bays and estuaries is the only thing we can do to ensure a future on the water. . . . More than anything, I'd like for our oyster industry to come back.

Remember in the movie Love Actually how they show all the reunions at the airport terminal, of loved ones hugging and kissing when they meet after being apart from one another? Well, that always makes me cry, and when I am at the airport picking someone up, I love to observe and share these moments (most might call it "stare and eavesdrop"). Well, I get the same kind of feeling as I go through photos of hugs and kisses outside of the church after a marriage ceremony, and this wedding is no different. Seeing friends and family members tear up and hug the bride and groom with so much love and joy is like a drug for me. Like seeing Marie-Louise's grandfather lovingly place his hand on Fredrik's cheek… sigh. I know I am a total sap, but that's why I feel I have found the right job. I am going to stop rambling and let you have a look at some of this beautiful couple's wedding photos.
Marie-Louise and Fredrik got married in Alsike Church (Alsike kyrka) and had the dinner and party at Krusenberg Manor (Krusenberg Herrgård).

Damita Haddon sings her hit song "I Won't Turn Back' and interviews on WKYC TV's Good Company. She talks about her experience singing backup for Aretha Franklin and how she was discovered.
She has an identical twin sister! And the sister sings, too. Wow, didn't know that.
I gotta say I enjoyed her interview! She was relaxed and very funny. Damita's new CD, Anticipation (which was written entirely by her), will be in stores on July 24th. It's available for pre-order now on Amazon.
Damita on WKYC TV Good Company
"This Anticipation project was a build up of a long waited follow up or Sequel to what we started on NLB (No Looking Back). It is different in perspective to the position I was in naturally, mentally and spiritually.
When recording No Looking Back I was making a definitive decision to move forward with my music and accepting the path God was leading me on. I see my music career and ministry expanding and evolving."-Damita

It's a GrimmIchi Fanfic I wrote in Math and Health class. I really didn't think that I would finish it, but anyway, there's an excuse to update, and I bring you this Fic with happiness!! hAHAH!
~It REALLY Couldn't Hurt, Could it?
The damn look on his face was really getting to him right about now.
The kind of condescending smirk, and that ridiculous calm tone of "Welcome back, Grimmjow," like he did nothing wrong. Presumably, the sixth espada did do something more than given, but a couple of reiatsu-filled souls disappearing off the face of the earth couldn't hurt anyone that badly. No really, only two people died during his visit to the human world this time, which was quite disturbingly…good, provided that his impatient and violent nature usually took up ten or more corpses each time. Grimmjow was quite proud by the fact that he could be patient—after a long lecture from a certain shinigami about 'obsessive fighting' that damage his home town—but he was reaching his limit with "Aizen-sama" and his know-it-all personality.
Grimmjow's visits to Karakura town were increasing by number each month, all for the sake of getting to fight with the orange-haired substitute shinigami. For Aizen to be calling him at such a time would probably be because of Ulquiorra's smart mouth, reporting Aizen everything. The little bastard was probably tailing him too. Grimmjow could sense the fourth espada's reiatsu sometime, but mostly either dismissed it or completely ignored it if Ulquiorra had no intention of stopping or bothering him in anyway.
It was actually annoying him too by the fact of his new found feelings for the boy. It was not exactly 'hate', and 'caring' would probably be an understatement. Grimmjow was sure that he was protective, or rather, possessive of the boy. From a recent situation involving a small group of invasion by the small fries of arrancars, Grimjow instantly attacked them when Ichigo started heading towards the group in order to protect some kids near the park, (the little boy and girls were oblivious to the explosions, having mistaken them for fireworks to this day, and hopefully forever) thus in a way, disregarding Grimmjow. He wasn't 'protective'—his hollow nature would refuse to accept that—but he was irritated to an extent that his time with the orange-haired shinigami was cut short, as if it wasn't already. The shock look on Kurosaki's face for his action was worth the time though.
Which brought his point back to his and Aizen's confrontation right now. And so…
"Welcome back, Grimmjow."
The espada scowled at the brown-haired taichou. Although he already knew the reason for him to be called here, he couldn't help but ask anyway to waste time. "What do you want, Aizen…sama."
"I think you would know, Grimmjow." The shinigami said. "You have been busy lately, or so Ulquiorra had told me…"
Spot on. The bad mouth bastard Ulquiorra.
"Visiting the human world out of mission is forbidden. I had made that clear, did I not?"
The sixth espada kept silent, knowing full well that if one word let loose from his mouth, it would probably be followed instantly by a series of cussing, and as much as he hated the guy, he wasn't as stupid as to dig his own grave when he knew why exactly he had been tolerating and following the shinigami around in the first place.
"Grimmjow," Aizen asked for his attention, voice calm but dangerous. The teal-haired arrancar frowned. "You did more than you are ordered to…But I'm not going to punish you…"
Grimmjow raised an eyebrow at that. It was just like Aizen to say something along the line of "I agree with you," something with the "You're not wrong" fact, but truly only an idiot would be so presumptuous as to be happy to not be penalized. Even that bastard of an espada, Szayel Apollo, knew better to play along with the act both Ichimaru Gin and Aizen were putting up, and then complained later when he was out of their sight.
Grimmjow was not as patient. However, when one stays with Aizen long enough, one knows that when Aizen is starting to agree wit you on a matter of subject, the conversation is ending and leaving no room for argument. Ultimately, a conversation with Aizen is a listening period in which no one says more than a "yes" or a "no" except for Aizen himself who will be the one asking question and even answering them, while you stay quiet and listen.
That's really how Grimmjow thinks anyway because he blocks out half the crap the shinigami says most of the time.
In addition, when "Aizen-sama" said that he won't stop or punish you, it only meant even more that you're screwed; he got something up his sleeves. That he is bored and needed something or someone to amuse him, be it as an espada or fellow shinigamis in Seireitei or Las Noches.
"Thank you, for the kindness," Grimmjow grinded out the last word with utter hatred, turning around and stomped away quickly and angrily. He walked out the door, having one goal in mind in which it was related to bombing in on the berry-headed shinigami once again, but not before slamming a fraccion passing by into the white wall of Las Noches. The crimson shade on the wall that dripped slowly down from the head of the arrancar stood out from the plain white, and the though of that dirty red on clean paleness, like a thorn on "Aizen-sama's" side…really wasn't half bad and was worth looking forward to.
"Kurosaki Ichigo," a voice cried out. "Kurosaki Ichigo!"
With the last word gone, a chalk was thrown at him, not quite enough to hurt but it sure got his attention. The orange-haired teenager looked up lazily at his sensei, eyese widen from the sudden change in scenario and a little bit of shock for being snap out of his thoughts.
Ichigo stuttered a bit. "S-sensei?"
"Pay attention in my class!" the teacher yelled.
The teen kept silent, thinking about the figure he just saw out the window while he was day-dreaming. Ichigo could have sworn that it has a hole in it because he could through its body, which would mean that it was a Hollow. But then it also looked more like a human being than anything else, so perhaps an arrancar? As always, his ability in sensing reiatsu sucks, and to stop himself from being presumptuous as to think about a teal-haired espada, he stopped thinking all together.
"Sensei," Ichigo started before his teacher could yell at him. "I'm—I need to go to the nurse office."
"Wait, Kuro—"
Before she got a chance to ask what happened, the teen rushed out of class and ran though the hall way with one thing in mind of going home, his sensei's voice fading away as he continued on down the stairs and out the school gates.
He didn't know when it started, but he realized that he began to consider that arrancars do have hearts after all. Despite what both Rukia and Renji warned him, that hollows were broken souls that have no feelings or heart and that an arrancar is much the same, he assumed that not every one of them is like that. He wanted to believe that Grimm—an arrancar could be changed. Possibly. Nell, for ex, was an arrancar and even an espada, but she was merely a child (personality wise) who helped him and Inoue when they were in danger, caring for both of them. After Ichigo got kicked back to Karakura town after the first invasion to Las Noches from Ishida, Chad, Rukia, Renji, and himself, the substitute-shinigami began to get visits from the sixth espada, frequently.
Although Grimmjow's visits were most unwelcome, he had to admit that he was quite content to be able to fight with a strong opponent that was Grimmjow, and he was actually happy, or rather, relieved to see that the espada didn't die…
"Who didn't die?"
"Wha—the hell?!"
The sudden voice behind him made Ichigo jumped, and he turned instantly, angry at being sneak up on, but was actually shocked for that moment.
The figure he saw made him tensed up immediately. To say Ichigo was surprised was sort of wrong, as the teen was glaring at the person with deep hatred. For the time being, this guy was the last person he wanted to see right now.
Said arrancar raised an eyebrow, grimacing as he said, "Yeah, that's my name, shinigami. 'The hell do you want?"
"Th—that should be my line! You snuck up on me!"
"Ahh? 'hell are you talking about? I've been there foreve following you and you just completely ignore me, bastard," Grimmjow scowled at the redhead. He risked losing his life and come to the human world to put up with this?! Either way, since he was already here, he might as well enjoy the ride and piss off the shinigami as much as possible. "So, who didn't die?"
From the silent that followed and the shade of red creeping up on the teen's face, Grimmjow assumed that the shinigami was thinking out loud afterall.
The sixth espada was just strolling out of the garganta when he saw a familiar face rushing by below him. Thanking his luck the appear at the right place and time, he followed Ichigo not far behind and was just about to pull a small bala on him—just to hit him at the back of the head, nothing too serious—when he heard the teen mentioned his name quietly under his breath. Grimmjow was amused at the least, so he disintegrated the condensed reiatsu at the tip of his finger, which was already stacking up quite a lot of crimson sparks, and decided to listen in on the teen. It was when the idiot Ichigo passed the clinic though, when Grimmjow finally spoke up and was completely entertained by the fact of how the boy managed to pass his own house and how engrossed he was in by his leaking thoughts.
Kurosaki finally said something when Grimmjow reached that point in his little flashback.
"It's nothing. Why the hell are you here anyway?"
The espada snorted. "Che! 'was bored and pissed. Besides, I wanna get away from the damn Aizen. The bastard was complaining shit to me and I need to beat the crap out of someone for that."
It didn't take Ichigo long to realize as to what Grimmjow was implying. The victorious smirk on the espada's face didn't help to ease the fact either.
"Aren't there any other low-ranking arrancar that could be your anger-target or something?" Ichigo asked, bother annoyed and bothered with Grimmjow's attitude towards him. If the espada thinks that he was going to be the one taking his temper every time something pissed the espada off, then Ichigo might as well just bang his head on the wall of his room each day for faster effect. Seriously, the teal-haired jerk is pissed like what? Every fucking minute!
"Nah, just…" the arrancar trailed off, strangely quiet which was unlike his normal nature. Although Ichigo was curious as to why Grimmjow was behaving out of his usually fucked up attitude, he was more than eager to turn back home, get to bed and go to sleep.
By the time Ichigo was done contemplating his afternoon schedule, his face was gripped tightly and pulled forward. His eyes widen when he felt his lips smashed against another and his whole body tensed up instinctively, not sure what was happening.
It wasn't as much as a kiss, per se, but a violent smash of teeth to teeth rather, and the broken jaw mask of the espada didn't do much to help but scrape annoyingly at his face, probably leaving a red bruising mark after this.
The teen was left gasping for air when the arrancar finally let go, and he could feel the heat creeping on his cheeks once again, but for a whole different reason than anger. Because Grimmjow was Grimmjow, Ichigo immediately saw the espada smirking when he looked up to meet his eyes. "…just wanna test out something," commented Grimmjow proudly, diving in to steal another kiss from the boy, or at least attempted to, as Ichigo brought his hand up to cover Grimmjow's face—his sloberring mouth especially.
"What the fuck are you trying to do, Grimmjow!?" Ichigo yelled, pushing himself from the arrancar to leave some space between them, instinct kicked in suddenly after snapping out of his stupor. Grimmjow made a face at the action and scowled lightly from the force the teen applied on his face.
"Damn, Shinigami! I knew you were stupid but not this much!" Grimmjow said. He was kind of disappointed by Kurosaki's protectiveness of himself. When the teen was fighting him, Grimmjow was sure that the shinigami never minded a cut or two (or a couple of dozens, but he digress). A kiss was not supposed to be as painful as that, rather yet it was supposed to be…well, good. The expression on the shinigami's face told him otherwise though.
Despite Ichigo's façade, the teen wasn't quite exactly upset, if not more shocked than anything else. But somehow, he didn't have the energy or enough anger to deal with Grimmjow. The teen sighed and pushed Grimmjow's hand away from his shoulder, turning back to his house that he ridiculously missed. "I can't deal with you today, Grimmjow…lots of work…pissed. Go back to Las Noches."
The espada scowled. "I ain't gonna take any order from a half-ass shinigami!" Grimmjow then blocked the teen's way home by reaching out to the wall and stepped in front of Ichigo. The teen looked up, but his eyes lacked the acknowledgement that Grimmjow was looking for. It wasn't like Kurosaki to ignore an initiated fight or challenge, and this action from the boy annoyed him to no ends. Fury replaced boredom, and Ichigo bitterly slapped away Grimmjow's hand, much to the surprise of the espada, which quickly faded away.
"Grimmjow! I'm not looking for a fight today, so leave! I'm much too annoyed and bothered by my school life as it is and I don't need any other business involving Shinigami or Hollows! Leave me alone." Ichigo made a dart for the door after that, but Grimmjow wasn't going to let that go easily, grabbing the boy by his flinging arm, the espada held him back by a tight grip on Ichigo's wrist. He pulled the struggling boy back, and Ichigo fell trying to grab hold of something.
The sixth espada smirked. "Nah. Ya know, now that I thought about it…" Grimmjow leaned in next to the boy's ear, enough to whisper teasingly. "…you never brought that kiss back up to be a reason to get angry at me. Were you, by any chance, trying to avoid the subject?"
Ichigo struggled against the Espada's grip, his head bowed low to avoid eye contact with Grimmjow. The action from the teen only served to make the teal-haired arrancar grin even more. "Embarrassed, shinigami?"
The sight of the teen blushing was the only thing he saw before he went flying backward into a near by telephone pole
Grimmjow never knew that Ichigo could pack a punch that hard before this.
Regrettably, the teen took this chance to rush inside the clinic, but not before muttering "bastard" under his breath which Grimmjow had caught, not to pleased. The espada's frowning face from being caught off guard was not too long replaced with a sadistic grin, following with a quick laugh to himself. In normal conditions, the person who even dare to land a blow on him—if they actually can, provided that they did not die first—would be crushed to hell a long time ago by the arrancar himself.
Strangely though, Grimmjow didn't feel like killing today.

Description:The book introduces solution-focused brief therapy, developed in the early 1980's by Steve deShazer, as an alternative therapy to problem-focused treatment, which includes many different traditional orientations.
Purpose:According to the authors, "we also wanted to provide our colleagues with access to some of the very practical aspects of using the solution-focused approach that Teri (one of the authors) and her team learned from working with multiproblem, court-mandated clients day in and day out in a community-based agency setting." The book meets these worthy objectives.
Audience:According to the foreword (by Insoo Kim Berg), although written for professionals working in substance abuse treatment programs, this book is a "useful resource for workers in many other programs, such as community mental health centers, residential treatment programs, day care facilities, schools, halfway houses, and many other human services providers and their agencies. I also recommend this book to program managers and consultants." I agree with the target audience, though I think graduate students in clinical psychology would also benefit from this book. The authors are credible authorities in the subject matter of the book.
Features:The book contains the theory behind solution-focused therapy and shows how it is applied in individual and group settings, providing many case examples. The book goes to great lengths to show how solution-focused therapy differs from problem-focused therapy. It is a very practical guide to this relatively new treatment approach. It seems to be based in the positive psychology movement, looking for strengths to build upon rather than trying to correct problems. It is very readable and the authors' arguments are quite compelling.
Assessment:I really enjoyed learning about this new treatment modality. It can be applied fairly easily to clients and it makes sense intuitively. The authors challenge the reader to see treatment from a different perspective than many of the traditional, problem-focused therapies. After reading this book, I believe they have something very important to contribute to our knowledge of curative factors in individual and group therapies.

Hillcrest Washington Youth Home, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that offers unique and innovative programs to support the positive development of children in our communities. Emergency shelter and residential services are available to children and adolescents, ages 10 through 21 years of age, who need out of home placement.

In 1952, Vanderburgh County constructed the new Hillcrest and Washington buildings to be used as residential care facilities for youth and operated by the Vanderburgh County Department of Public Welfare.
In 1986, a change in Indiana law required that all county welfare departments become part of the State Welfare Department. The State Welfare Department did not operate facilities, so the Vanderburgh County Commissioners put out a request to the community for agencies interested in operating the Hillcrest and Washington facilities.
Organized in 1984, Hillcrest and Southwestern Indiana Mental Health Foundation, Inc.,(Foundation) presented a proposal to the county commissioners and was chosen to manage the facilities. In June 1987, the Foundation officially began operating the facilities.
The Hillcrest facility began operating as a residential and emergency shelter facility for all children and became, what is known today, as Hillcrest Washington Youth Home, Inc. Over the years, the Washington Building served as a facility for the Christa McAuliffe Alternative Middle School, the Learning Center and the office of the Child Sexual Abuse Agency Coordination Task Force. Today, the Washington facility houses Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare's partial hospitalization program for children.
Through the years, major renovations to both facilities have been made to provide a safe and comfortable setting for children. Thanks to continued support from our community, Hillcrest is able to provide needed services for children to enhance their quality of life and to provide them with opportunities to develop skills that will stay with them throughout their lives.
IYSA membership is comprised of Youth Service Bureaus (YSB) that deliver community-based juvenile delinquency and family support programming. IYSA's current 32 members serve approximately 74 Hoosier counties.
Youth Service Bureaus serve vulnerable youth and families and offer programming that supports positive youth development. YSB programming is defined in Indiana state statue and includes four core roles:
- Juvenile Delinquency Prevention
- Information and Referral Services
- Community Education
- Advocacy for Youth
Hillcrest is licensed to provide children with long-term residential care, emergency shelter and foster care services.
The mission of Hillcrest Washington Youth Home, Inc., which includes Youth Service Bureau, is to provide quality innovative services to our region's youth and families.
Our Vision
Children should have the opportunity to "inherit tomorrow" by developing the skills necessary to function in a family environment and independently in the community.
Our Core Values
- Children are our top priority.
- Children deserve the opportunity to develop life skills in a safe, therapeutic environment within their home community.
- Children are responsible for their own behavior.
- We will advocate for children in all aspects of their lives.
- We will partner with others to provide optimal services to children.
- We will always look for ways to improve our services to children and their families.
- We, at Hillcrest can provide no greater service than to be appropriate role models for the children we serve.
Per the court order, the primary purpose of the trust "is to provide a benefit to the children who are or have been residents of the Hillcrest Washington Youth Home. This purpose shall be fulfilled by providing an opportunity for education and training that might not otherwise be available to them."
All current or past residents of Hillcrest Washington Youth Home are eligible to receive funding for educational purposes; having to have stayed at least one (1) overnight.
The applicant should complete the appropriate application and submit the completed document along with a copy of a photo ID and Social Security card to the Executive Director for processing. The Advisory Committee will meet and make an appropriate decision regarding the request made by the applicant.

Aside from their looks, I've never really been a huge fan of 1911's. For the last month or so, I've been having this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I need one! Far as pistols go, I have at least two guns in the following calibers: .25, .380, 9mm, 357sig, 38spcl, 40, and .45. I also have these among different brands (though I love Glocks, not every handgun I own is a Glock :yup:). So I already have tons of .45 ammo, which is what I'd like the 1911 chambered in.
I'm at the point in my (hand)gun ownership where I need to feel 'complete'. In order for me to do so, I need to pick up one in .22, .32, and 357mag but more to the point.. a 1911!
To keep this somewhat short, I'll start off by saying that I've sold a few guns and still to this day regret it, so I've vowed to never sell another functional/repairable gun ever again. So with that being said, I'd like to pick up a 1911 that's affordable. That way, worst scenario, if I don't fall in love with the platform and it just sits in the safe forever, I can still feel okay with the purchase.
I've heard many'a great things about RIA. Can anybody suggest a model of theirs or even perhaps a different brand? I don't need any of the extras, just a good ole standard one. I have no preferences on length and weight. I have no comfort problems when it comes to concealing full size handguns. I'd like to stay under $700. That's the most I can justify spending on a weapon I may not grow to love but still keep.
Oh, almost forgot, I'm completely clueless about 1911s. :icon_neutral:

Standardize the Books
Thinking about skipping out on the Basel pretension by spending a few days submerged in mud at the Standard Spa? Well, look for an escape elsewhere, because the boutique hotel is just as infected with the Basel bug. And just in time for Art Basel, The Standard Miami Beach is opening a bookstore within their existing shop teeming with glossy art books. Rafael de Cárdenas, the architect behind the igloo-like exhibition space at O.H.W.O.W., designed the new retail space. And this isn't just another pop-up venue for Miami's high season. The O.H.W.O.W. Book Club will remain open year-round, selling the gallery's series of art books as well as those published by The Standard. That's right, the lux hotel on the bay side of Miami Beach is now also a publisher. Last month, the Standard released their first book What Me Worry, by artist/writer/musician Andrew Kuo. Claire Darrow, the Standard's creative director, is a collector of Kuo's work, and the book includes his paintings, photos, recipes, and diary entries.

1920's East Africa– "THE BIG FLOOD--CONCLUSION"
The Fort Hall Road carried a fair amount a traffic, and the demise of the bridge over the papyrus swamp in April, 1922 meant that many people would be cut off (unless they took the train). But one man was nearly swept away when the swamp broke free and released a torrent of water. The following is his eyewitness account
"I was just on the approaches to the bridge" (the eyewitness said) "when I was startled by a curious rumbling and then a sound of rushing water. I drew back hastily and for fifteen minutes I watched one of the most startling phenomena ever I have seen or heard of."
"The placid surface of the swamp across which the Fort Hall road wends its way, suddenly broke up. Huge mounds of papyrus and mud were heaved into the air and the whole area assumed the aspect of a log-jam breaking on a Canadian river or the clearing of ice fields in the Arctic. Then the swamp smashed, and a rushing torrent of water, mud, and papyrus swept towards the bridge. The earth at the sides first crumbled away like snow in the sun and then the bridge caved-in in the middle. I stood fascinated for ten minutes then I went to the railway bridge. I found it standing but heaped high with papyrus and apparently damaged."
"I was not the only one who had a narrow escape. In front of me, and probably with his foot on the bridge, was a European police officer. He must have had one of the narrowest squeaks of his life."

What is Flannel and How to Wear It?
In its purest and original form flannel is a woollen cloth made from carded yarn. The process of carding involves combing the yarn with a fine metal brush and flannel is further brushed, on one or both sides, to create a fine fuzzy nap.
In contrast, worsted flannels are made from woollen yarns that are combed to create long fibres running parallel in one direction but not carded or napped after weaving, the yarn is smooth and without the fine down of napped flannel yarn. Typically worsted yarns are used to create traditional cloths such as serge and gabardine.
The origins of flannel can be traced back to the 17th Century when it was primarily used to make tartans, blankets, underwear and sheets. The napping creates a supremely soft and warm cloth as still air is trapped between the raised nap of the fibres.
For this reason it became popular workwear in the US. All across the continent railroads were built, wells dug, gold mined, the West won, and latterly the cities of New York, Boston and Chicago raised by construction workers clad in plaid flannel shirts.
As well as being warm, the napping creates a soft, wonderfully luxurious quality that drapes beautifully and is perfect for tailoring jackets and trousers. In the mid-twentieth century flannel suits achieved iconic status as the mark of a well-dressed man.
Cary Grant, who still ranks on best-dressed men lists, was perhaps the most famed advocate of flannel. He liked his flannel:
"Not too light in color, not too dark…….of medium weight but not more than what is known as ten-ounce cloth."
And so, soft charcoal grey flannel suits formed the mainstay of his wardrobe.
In an article he wrote for GQ he stated with characteristic élan, that:
"providing he is well-mannered, a young man wearing such a suit can confidently approach the other fellow's girl, secure in knowing that his way of dress is no deterrent."
Less controversially, he also advised buying an extra pair of trousers, to be worn to equally stylish effect with a sweater, or a sports jackets depending on the mood and the moment.
This classic look works as well today as it did back then – though the contemporary styling possibilities are endless and varied. Dependent on taste flannel works wonders with tweed, denim, knitted waistcoats, cord sports jackets, satchels, layering, and on into an infinite world of flannel friendly looks.
Make 2014 the year you embrace flannel.

My lab is interested in developing mathematical models of biological regulatory processes that integrate specific knowledge about protein-protein interactions. Together with collaborators at Los Alamos National Laboratory, we have developed a simulation framework called BioNetGen that allows rule-based specification of biochemical reaction networks and provides both deterministic and stochastic modeling capabilities. Current research includes the development of specific models of signal transduction and the development of new stochastic simulation algorithms that will greatly broaden the scope of models that can be developed. Other research areas include model reduction, parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis, and automated model construction from databases of protein interactions.
